rOB YICfi-PKESIDEST
Chas. W. Fairbanks, of Indiana.
The late re-organization of the
Plaindealer and the determination
on the part of its present manage
ment to make it a fair, reliable, new
sy, up-to-date newspaper, as well as
a true, loyal and vigorous exponent
of Republican principles and of the
party upholding these principles, is
already inspiring a renewed confi
dence in the paper and increasing its
popularity throughout the county,
which is evident from the many kind
and encouraging expressions on the
part of its old and new patrons
and many letters of congratulation
and commendation being received at
this office. The Plaindealer ex
pects to champion the interests more
vigorously than ever before of Rose
burg, Douglas county and the repub
lican party, and, by an honest, con
servative and straightforward policy
to win. back its old-time popularity
and influence. The assistance and
co-operation of old friends and pa
trons - of the paper is earnestly solicited.
field, this condition now existing
would undoubtedly be reversed. How
ever, Senator Marsters, by his philo
sophical view of the situation and his
sensible resignation to his late politi
cal reverse, is receiving the commen
dation of friend and foe alike, and he
will therefore continue to enjoy the
confidence and esteem of the public.
AQE AND THE PRESIDENCY.
FOOLISH MISAPPREHENSIONS.
President Roosevelt will celebrate
his forty-sixth birthday just before
the date set for the November elect
ion. He is the same age as the Ger
man kaiser. The Republican candi
date for vice-president, Mr. Fairbanks
has not only had the good political
fortune to have been born in Ohio,
but is still in the prime of life; he is
52 years old. In the ordinary course
of events both men should have be
fore them many years of usefulness.
Mr. Roosevelt was the youngest
man ever inaugurated as president
though he was not directly elected to
the office. Of those directly elected
by the people the record is held by
President Grant, who was 47; Cleve
land comes next, having been 48 at
the date of his inauguration, while
Garfield was 49. If Roosevelt is
elected and lives to be inaugurated
he will still hold the palm for youth.
Until Zachary Taylors day all the
presidents when they were inaugurat
ed were in the late fifties or early
sixties, William Henry Harrison, the
oldest of them all, having been 6S;
Taylor was 51. From that time for
ward no president has been 60 years
old at the date of his inauguration,
with the single exception of Buchan
an, who was 66. Lincoln was 52,
Hayes 54, Harrison 55 and McKinley
54. In this direction, as well as
many others, the tendency to thrust
heavy responsibilities on younger
men is steadily becoming more
pronounced.

giving the Republican candidate a
plurality of exactly 24,217. Tho total
vote of Oregon for 1904 was 99,315 ac

of 43.310 to 40.19S or a majority of 31i8.
The direct primary law carried by a
majority of Si S51, the vote being 56,
200 for and 16,354 against.

The following is tho platform adopted
by tho Republican national convention:
Fifty years ago tho Republican party
came into existence, dedicated among
other purposes to tho great task-of arest
ing tho extension of human slavery. In
1860 it elected its first president. Dur
ing twenty-four of the forty-four years
which have elapsed since the election of
Lincoln the Republican party has held
complete control of the government.
For e ghteen more of the forty-four years
it has held partial control through the
possession of one or two branches of the
government while the Democratic party
during the samo period has had com
plete control for only two years. This
long tenure of power by the" Republican
party is not due to chance. It is a de
monstration that the Republican party
nas commanded tho confidence of the
American people for nearly two genera
tions to a degree never equaled iu our
history and has displayed a high capaci
ty for rule and government which has
been made even more conspicuous by

BKASOX FOR CONGRATULATIONS.
The Republican party entered upon
its present period of complete supremacy
in 1897. We have every right to. con
gratulate ourselves upon the work since
then accomplished, for it has added lus
ter ever to the traditions of the "party
which carried the government through
the storms of Civil war.
We then found the country after four
years of Democratic tule in evil plight
oppressed with misfortune and doubtful
of the future. Public credit had been
lowered, the revenues were declining,
the debt was growing, the admioistia
tion'6 attitude towards Spain was feeble
and mortifying, the standard of values
was thteateued and uncertain, labor was
crippled, business was sunk in tho de
pression which had succeeded the panic
of 1S93, hope was faint and confidence
was gone.
protected industries.
We met these unhappy conditions
vigorously, effectively and alone. We
replaced a Democratic tariff law based
on free trade principles and garnished
with sectional protection by a protective
tariff and industrv, freed from oppres
sio i and stimulated by the encourage
ment of wise laws, has expanded to a
decree never before known, has con
quered new markets and has created a
volume of exports which has surpassed
imagination. Under the Dingh y tariff
labor has been fully employed, waea
have risen and all industries have reviv
ed and pro. pervil.
GOL'l STANDARD.
We firmly established the gold MtanJ
ard, which was then menaced with de
struction. Confidence returned to famines-,
and with confidence and unexampl
ed prosperity.
For deficient revenues, supplemented
by improvi.lcnt isiues of bonds, we gave
the country an incjme which produced
a large surplus ami which enabled us
onlv four years after the Spanish war
had closed to remove over $100,0X1,000
of annual war taxes, reduce the public
debt and lower the interest charges of
the government.

CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE.
The American people were fortunate
in his successor, to whom they turned
with a trust and confidence which have
been fully justified. President Roose
velt brought to the great responsibilities
thus sadly forced upon him a clear head,
a brave heart,.nn earnest patriotism and
high ideals of public duty and public
service. True to the principles of tho
Protection, which guards and develops P'ican party and to the duties to
our industries is a cardinal policy of the whlch the party had declared he also

results at the opening of the winter of
1902.

unconstitutional, or whether it demands successful. The complicated questions

PROSPERITY.

nowever specinc tne name the pur
pose is ever the sama. A Democratic
tariff has always been followed by busl
ness adversity ; a Republican tariff by
business prosperity.
To a Republican congress and a Re
publican president this great nation can
be safely entrusted. When the only
free trade country among the great na
tions agitated a return to protection the
chief protective country should not fal
ter in maintaining it.
FORXIQN MAKKKH.
We have extended widely our foreign
markets, and we believe in the adoption
of all practicable methods for their fur
ther extension, including commercial
reciprocity wherever reciprocal ai range-
ments can be effected consistent with
the principles of protection and without
arbitration greatly advanced.
