On the 19th, President Roosevelt j delivered a very impressive speech on the historic spot at" Valley Forge where Washington and his gallant boys of '76" suffered in order that the United States might become a nation. The President said in part: 'The vital thing for this Nation to do is steadily to cultivate the quality which Washington! and those under him so pre-eminently showed during the winter at Valley Forge, the quali ty of steady adherance to duty in the teeth of difficulty, in the teeth of dis-1 couragement and every disaster, the quality that makes a man do what is straight and decent, not one day when a great crisis comes, but every day, day in and day out, until success comes at the end." ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS. In the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks for president arid vice president respect ively on the Republican ticket m national convention at Chicago this week by a unamimous vote, the dele gates struck a popular chord and their actions will meet with the uni versal endorsement of the party throughout the country as well as the independent voter. The enthusi asm and harmony prevailing in this great political gathering was a fitting endorsement of President Roosevelf s splendid administration, evidence of the high regard in which he is held and confidence reposed in his wis dom andleadership by his party. As the new platform relates, the McKinley administration was marked by a new tariff law which restored prosperity; a .gold standard act, which gave stability toNur currency the annexation of Hawaii; a short and triumphant war with Spain, which brought freedom to Cuba and placed Porto Rico and the Philippines under ottr flag. The Administration of Roosevelt has brought to an end the cry of imperialism roth growing civil government in the Philippines, and a free and independent govern ment in Cuba; the purchase and au tSorization of the Panama Canal; the arbitration of the coal strike and the decision that trusts are amenable to ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS Chosen as Standard Bearers by Chicago National as Republican Convention GREAT ENTHUSIASM AND HARMONY PREVAILED claims played with the locals.

Bryan admits his weakness but says, "the sins of Gro- ver Cleveland killed me.' REPUBLICAN PARTY AND LABOR. Nowhere i3 the beneficent result of Republican legislation more con spicuously seen than in its relation to the laboring classes of our country. ( Encircling the steer are the word3 it began at tne outset dv treeing "Don't be a Maverick Join the lne hrst ot the Koosevelt cain paisin buttons have appeared. The button is in four colors, handsomely engraved, showing a red steer in the center of the botton bearing the three Koosevelt brands, wjtn a rep resentation also of a cattle rancher in the Bad Lands in North Dakota: four million slaves and giving them the opportunity to labor, to ac quire, and to enjoy the rewards of their own exertions. Coming down through the decades after the War to the present time, it has, through its, various tariff laws, given oppor tunity to the workingmen of the United States such as is enjoyed by the laboring classes of no other coun try on the face of the globe. It has, by its legislation concerning immigra tion, given to millions from foreign lands an equal opportunity for ad vancement in theirstandard of living, through high wages and constant em ployment, increasing our home mar ket, which is. the envy of the entire commercial world; This home mar ket has awakened and maintained competition to such an extent that our people in large measure have done their own work and reaped the consequent fruits of their toil. There need be no proofs given of the asser tion that the workingmen of the United States are far better off than the laborers of any other country. Not only has the Republican party given the laboring man the chance to work; not only has it given him the highest wages paid on earth for that work, but it has seen to it that this wage money is paid in dollars of full value, equal in every case to one hundred cents. The Republican national platform adopted at the Chicago convention Wednesday is solid from its very foundation, strong in every particu lar and will be unanimously approved by the Republican voters of the en tire country. It covers all questions of national import and clearly defines the position of the administration and party upon these important issues. The crew of the twelve-inch guns on the battleship Wisconsin, at tar get tpractice in the Philippines, fired ten shots in ten minutes, hitting the target 10x16 feet, nine times at 2, 000 yards.

A man who prefers the metropoli tan daily to a home paper because "it's get more in it," reminds us of a man who picked out the largest pair of boots in the box because they cost no more than a pair that fitted him. The Drain Nonpareil, published at Drain, by A. T. Fetter, is a credit to northern Douglas county.

Senator Fairbanks when asked if he had seen the statement made to the newspapers the other day by SenatorJ Boise Ijnros, Kepublican state chair man of Pennsylvania, who declared that Fairbanks will stand for the vice-presi- deucy, the senator replied : ''Yes I read his remarks. It is good of Penrose to nominate me for office, but I have, as yon know repeatedly and publically stated my refusal to become a candidate for tho post, and I still have no intention of becoming ono." "nnoaoyoa tninK, tnen, would be a good man for the office?" "Well, I really can't say. Seeing that Penrose, howover, has been kind enough to proclaim me for the place, perhaps I cannot do better than reciprocate. I believe in reciprocity." Perdlcaris The Morocco Captive. A sories of experiments have been con ducted at St. Petersburg before a num ber of the court officials with a new cuirats invented by an Italian named Glorglano, which it is claimed ii im penetrable to revolver bullets, and re sists steel onslaoghtsuch as are In flicted by a sword or bayonet. The breast pla to Is made of soft, elastic ma terial, is about a centimeter iu thickness and weighs four pounds. Tho experi ment included the discharge of shots at eight planks, each an inch thick, and placed one on top of tho other. The shots penetrated every plank. Then a sheet of steel, two inches in thickness was pierced by tho shots. Bullets were fired from a long range heavy Russia cavalry revolver of the Nirwan type and heavy American pattern revolver, re spectively, but in each case tho shots that were fired'nt the brestplato failed to penetrate or even dent itiQ inner surface of tho cuiras, remaining embedded, Even explosivo bullets did not damago the breastplate. Experiments were also made with a steol bayonet, a Circassian dagger, and sword ot Damascus steel. The bayonet and the dagger broke with out cuttlna the breastplate, while the Baber Biraply made a dent on tho , out side ot the tabrie. The capture by Morocco bandits of an American citizen, who is held for a ran sm, and for whoso releas the govern ments of the United States, Great Bri tain and France are bending their best onergiea aroues some curiosity as to the personality of the man who thus be comes a center of interest and attention on the world's stage. Ion Penlicaris is one of the most distinguished residents of Tancier. He has lived in this coun try, and his family were well known at Trenton. N. J. Perdlcaris, now 70 years of age, is the son of a Greek, Georgo A. Penlicaris, who camo to the United States some 50 or CO years ago as a refugee from his na tive land, under sentence pf death, for some political offence. Georgo A. Per dlcaris became an instructor ot Greek at Harvard, but resigned and became in terested in the formation ot gas com panies in various cities. Ho organized the gas company at Trenton, which prov ed very profitable, a large block of the stock of which is now owned by the cap tive of the Morocco bandits. During the civil war the elder Perdicaris contri buted liberally to the Southern cause. Ion Perdicaris went abroad many years ago, and was so fascinated with the white city of Tangier, within 35 miles j by steamer from Gibraltar, that ho do- ided to tako up his residence there with I a little colony of Europeans and Ameri cans. Within a short distance of the town he purchased from the sultana palace, whore with n retinue ot servants and attendants and almost unlimited wealth, he lived liko an Oriental prince. He cultivated tho aits; paints well and has written books on the country and the people. That he should be captured by rebel brigands seems like the Irony ot fate, as he has always upheld the rights of the natives against the harsh ness ot taxation, on ono occasion defy ing on their behalf, the United States consul. An interesting statement bearing on the future of great cities was embodied in an addrvss rweutly mad by Prof. il. B. StaUh, of the Worchester Polytech nic I Htitu, p-akiiu of electrical tninMiiissmn ui power He said that in San Franci-cu a few days api the cose of eJectnc current for power and light was 15 cents for one horse-power per hour, while to-iay ihe p"U Wished price is almost exactly one--eren:l of this amount, and it is po-ibi to deliver at the factory on tne ccum, from the" melt ing snows and gUviers of the Rockies, power for the machinery at a smiller cost th.n that at which it is possible- to produce that power by steam, even through tne fnel wre to be delivered at the factory toiler without cost to the power producer. It bas been estimated that the quantity of carbonic acid annually exhaled by the population ot New York city is about 45,000 ions, and that this amount is !es than three per cent of that produced by the fuel com bustion of tht, with the removal of this great source of contamination of the atmosphere, even the air of our greater cities will be practically as pure aa that of the country. The school children of the state may well be taken into counsel in connection with an event that is ot future impor tance.' The Lewis and Clark Exposi tion clearly comes under this head. The scheme first to interest and then in struct them concerning the Fair and the historical event that it will celebrate ia a wise one, whether viewed from the standpoint, of the present oi future. Enthusiastic, energetic, intelligent to enlist the-grand army of school children In the ranks ot workers for tho Fair is to increase immeasurably the influences that are working for its success. The Lewis and Clark storv, plodding and te dious in detail to those who acted while they wrote it, is to the adventurous schoolboy of today a fairy tale with won derful embellishments; a. historic tale eagerly seized upon and readily absorb- ed. With this story all of the school children ot the Pacific Northwest, ex tending eastward even to Moutana and the Dakotas, should bo made familiar during the uext schoolyear. Oregonian.
