Fee, of Malheur NOVEMBER 8, AND American civilization is that God-given gift of so plan ning for strange peoples that the best which js in them mav be brought and utilized for their own benefit. That is what we are doing in the Philippines and Porto Rico. American education is that broad grasp on knowledge in its every department, bv which humanitv in the rough is transformed into men and women cultured to the de gree necessary for their walk in life, and for all above that to which their ambition aspires and for which their energy works. American energy is that overcoming power of effort ingenuity and ability which has placed these United States of ours foremost among the nations of the world nay rather should I say, foremost of the nations of the world That is our proud position today. Leaders of the world' civilization, education and enerev. But we have not attained that proud position by chance nor even by opportunity alone. We have gained it under wise and patriotic leadership. Men have led us. God-fearing wise, able, patient, patriotic men. We have had men for presidents, not figureheads. Call the glorious roll of honor: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Grant Garfield, Harrison and McKinley. All names that will for ever shine on the glorious page of America's uncrowned dead. Those men made our nation while they lived, but the work did not cease when McKinlev eave his life for our country. His mantle of responsibility and purpose fel on younger shoulders. Grandly and worthily is it being worn today by Theodore Roosevelt. The American peo ple know Theodore Roosevelt of New York: thev know his record, his opinions and his intentions, and when the sun goes down on November 8, ten milions of the freest citizens on earth will have said by their votes: "Stay there, Roosevelt," Not onlv will Theodore Roosevelt stay there, but by his side will stand Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana In what similar arena of public life can you find a strong er, cleaner man than Senator Fairbanks? Another man who has a record of constant, unswerving fidelity to the right, and to his party because he knows his party is right. PACIFIC COAST PROGRESS. Never before have there been such remarkable evi dencee of growth and development on the Pacific Coast as we see today upon all sides. It seems, indeed, as if peo ple elsewhere were beginning to appreciate the fact that this coast offers most extraordinary opportunities, and an unquestioned movement west of large proportions has resulted. Buildings are springing up with almost incred ible rapidity and progress in civic improvement is keeping pace with the influx of population, says the Pacific Month ly. Travelers who are in touch with the whole coast are Tf . astounded at the evidences of prosperity and growth and predict a most alluring and brilliant future. Even the most conservative men who have studied the situation speak with an enthusiasm that partakes of the nature of prophecy. It is doubtful if we who live here and enjoy the blessings of this God-endowed land fully appreciate the great and splendid future that is before us. We are accustomed to speak of our climate, the fertility of the soil, the wealth of gold, silver, nickel, lead and coal that bursts from ledges about us, but such things are only a 8 mall part of an almost incalculably great promise for the lands bordering the Pacific. A great heritage ours, a heritage that calls for strong, clear-minded, sin cere, consistent, enthusiastic, determined and aggressive manhood. We each have a part to do, and it is a part of gladness and strength. "Awake, awake, put on thy strength, 0 Zion." "Sing, 0 ye heavens, for Jehovah hath done it? shout, ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, 0 forest, and every tree therein P Vote For Roosevelt And Fairbanks. AN EXCHANGE OF BOQUETS. The wife of the editor of the Roseburg Plaindealek was a delegate to the state W. C. T. U. convention at Portland and since her return has been kept busy throw ing empty bottles out from under the bed and clearing the shelves. The noble wife has a big task of reform at home to accomplish and if she succeeds in straightening out "Woozy Bill," there will be another one to add to the seven wonders.- Myrtle Point Enterprise. The devil is said to be the "father of lies." If this be true, he has certainly a numerous family with some very promising children amongst them. It was only lately that Editor Roberts announced that a Myrtle Point youth imi tates the crowing of a cock so closely that the sun upon several occasions over there had risen two hours earlier by mistake. And talk about boozing, this same fellow has been giving baldness as an excuse for the excessive use of stimulents because, he says, the best remedy for baldness is to rub whiskey on your head until the hair grows out, then take it inwardly to clinch the roots. He will now probably insist that we are endeavoring to make a fool of him, but we are not nature has saved us the trouble. WHY ROOSEVELT? Because when McKinley was stricken down, he stepped into the breach and has gallantly held the fort since. Because promises he then made to carry out the policies of his fallen chief, have been faithfully kept. Because he has filled, honorably and ably, each one of the manv offices of public trust,for which he has been chosen from time to time. Because his yea is yea, and his nay is nay, when prob lems arise for solution. Because he has convictions and the courage of his con victions. Because he is not the tool, and cannot be made the tool of any set of designing politicians. Because he knows what to do, when to do it, and does it Because when the crisis of the Spanish war was upon us he sacrificed his personal comfort and rushed to the firing line. Because he is a kind neighbor and a faithful friend. Because he meets every emergency without flinching or hesitating. Because his first thought is for his country, his coun try's needs, and his country's honor. " Because, as president, he has to his credft, among oth r things, the settlement of the coal strike the American Panama canal, the revival of the Hague tribunal, the prosecution of the postoffice offenders, the merchant ma rine commission, the Merger case prosecution, and pen- fjon order No. 78. Because he is an American of the Americans; a stai- A FAIR AND LIBERAL NEWSPAPER. In the campaign just drawing to a close there has been in this state an issue second in importance only to the presidential election. We refer to the question of pro hibition, which will be submitted to the voters tomorrow for adoption or rejection. This is a question not of local importance only, but also of county and state interest, one which has been debated upon and freely discussed both pro and con. The Plaixpealer has endeavored to treat the question from a strictly independent standpoint, recognizing the rights and respecting the opinions of the leading advocates on both sides of this important ques tion and has granted both sides fair and equal treatment so far as space in the columns of the paper is concerned. which has enabled our subscribers to read both sides of the question and intelligently draw their own conclusions. leaving them free to vote their honest convictions. This could be the only consistent and conservative stand of a truly independent secular newspaper. Twenty-three counties of Oregon will vote on the ques tion of prohibition Tuesday, and in three others elections will be held only in certain precincts. In seven counties the question will not come up at all. All the 23 counties, except Multnomah, are in doubt as to the result, and in many the chances of prohibition are regarded as favora ble. The vote for prohibition will not be so large as for the local option law last June. Even if prohibition shall be defeated in a given county, it will win many precincts. In Maltnomah a number of precincts in the eastern part of the county will probably vote against liquor-selling Lane county is preparing a magnificent display of coun ty products of the orchard, field, forest and mines, for the Lewis and Clark Exposition next year. The Lane county court has granted $500 to aid in 'preparing this exhibit, which sum will be duplicated by trie directors of the Exposition. Is Douglas county to be so completely outdone by her northern neighbor? Douglas should have a creditable exhibit at the Exposition, and there is no time to wate in preparing it. Get busy. Lee W. Henry, formerly editor of the Bohemia Nugget published at Cottage Grove and who for some time past has been foreman on tho .Jacksonville ntinei, nas suc ceeded to the editorial and business management of that paper. Mr. Henry is a very able and successful young newspaper man and a genial gentleman withal. The future destinies of the Sentinel is safe in his hands. The Democrats have gone to considerable trouble to show that President Roosevelt held views twenty years ago different to what they are now. That's nothing; the whole Democratic partv changes its views every four years. hvery voter should cast his vote at the election next Tuesday Republicans, Democrats, Populists and all no one should fail to get to the polls and help swell Oregon's total vote in the presidential election. A New York court has decided that wearing high r rench heels is not a sign of insanity in a woman. This is very sound, for it surely does take a level-headed wom an to stand upon such heels. If the full Republican vote be polled there will be no doubt about the election. If a few men in every precinct stay at home, Democracy and hard times may gain control. Working-men who got $1 under G rover Cleveland are getting from $3 to $o under Roosevelt. Do you think you could bribe these men to vote the democratic ticket? "I am not willing to take the responsibility of years more of Theodore Roosevelt" says Mr. Bryan, president will relieve him of that responsibility. four The Never mind the certainties you hear about as to Roose- 1 A? BS . . . . veil a election, uo your pan; case your vole; rain or shine, mud snow or dust, cast your vote! The mayor of greater New York took a very decided stand against the wood alcohol trade. It was killing off the Tammany braves too fast. A follower of Mr. Dowie who killed himself left a note saying that Dowie got all his money. What did he think Dowie was in business for? "It's all over but the shouting," sounds well, but the facts remains that no election is decided until the ballots are cast. Parker's "talk" is like a fish caught in a net time it wiggles its tail it gets in a worse tangle. -every The Republican who does not v jte this year is not a Republican. Republicans DO things. Mr. Bryan says he ran for the; presidency on principle. We thought it was on wind. i Vote early on election day and see that your neighbors, employes and friends vote. The time for talking is over. Now vote! Roosevelt, Protection and Panama! If you want the honor and dignity of the country upheld; If you want present prosperous conditions continued; If you want the affairs of govern ment administered intelligently and economically ; If you want the book kept open and dishonesty punished wherever found; ' If you want grasping monopoli es repressed and forced to obey the law; If you want justice administered to all, rich and poor alike; If you want a hungry horde of Democratic looters kept out of office; If you want such tricksters as D B. Hill given no place in the cabinet; If you want illegal trusts rebuked for contributing to the Democratic campaign fund; If you want corrupt Tammany not to lie given a chance to raid the na tional treasury; If you want the Tammany grafting system not to fasten its clutch on every branch of the federal government; If you want a manly man retained in the white house; If you want a Democratic nonetity. a weak tool of tricky politicians, kept out of the presidential chair; If you want the nation to retain its lead among the world powers as a peace promoter; If you want firmness displayed when firmness will protect American lives and property interests; In short if you want everything that a good patriotic citizen should want, vote for Roosevelt and Fair banks and elect a Republican congress.

At a christening, when the minister waa filling out the certificate he said, Let me see, this is the30lh ; "thirtieth I indeed," exclaimed the indignant moth er, this is only the fifth, sir. "You have enlisted fit the army of Zion." said the Baptist minister to the new convert as they emerged from the water. "Oh," exclaimed the penitent. " I thought it was the navy." In Wall street the IVmocrats say President Roosevelt is too strenuous in his attitude towards corporations, while in the went they charge thai he is a friend of the trusts. T.iey ought to try to get together. A Seattle Democratic politician stated as a reason for his defeat in a deba'e that his opponent happened to state just the thing which he was not paapar ed to meet the truth. No oue ever heard of a politician stating the truth before. It's the old story. A fellow over in Eastern Oregon last week went down in to a shaft to see why the blast did not go off. He came back up directly in installments, with a lor of stone and earth. When the part of him with the head on pas-ed along it said there didn't appear to le anything the matter w ith the blast it was only a little lale, that was all. r. Weather Report. S.

Coqi'IIXK City, Nov. 1. Klijah Smith, president of the Southern Ore gon company, and Paul Mohr, who was the projector of the 1'nrtage railroad and successful promoter of other railroads in northern Washing ton, spent several day3 in town this week. Mr. Smith said that they were here only to take a few week i rest and recreation, but rumor has : that there is a deeper significance to their visit here and that thev may h:;ve as their object some railroad investiga tion relative to a road to Coos Hay. Mr. Smith on being interviewed in regard to this matter did not openly deny such to be the case, but n-ither would he state that their mission here was alone for the purpose of project ing a railroad. Mr. Smith said much however, that would lead one to be lieve that he may be here for some such purpose. Ills reply, on being asked if he thought there was snrticient deaaad to justify a company in making a mad to Cool Ray was: "Yes, there is. I believe the time is fully ripe for a railroad to this country. 1 think it will not be long until there Is a rail road connecting Coos Itav with the Southern Pacific." He was then asked by the reporter if he thought there was a possibility of the Coast road being put through, to which question he replied that he thought there was not at the pres ent, but thought this route was being investigated. His opinion seemed to be that the 1 1 , . . precKtes company woum he com pelled either to sell or build on. and that he undersUnsl that they wanted to sell. Mr. Smith said the demand for coal was so great that it would soon be a necessity for a road to ex tend a line to this section and that at a time not far distant. On being asked if there was any truth in the rumor circulated some time ago and later published in the Oregonian. that he t.Mr. Smitht had a companv of surveyors at work survey ing a route to Cool Iay he replied that it was true that this surv. v waa only to locate a pass through the mountains over which there has been some dispute. It was not made quite plain to us just what the object of this survey could be. Rut Mr. Smith said it was relative to his private business and had no public signifi cance. Mr. Smith talked very encouraging ly of this section and said that "He believed there would be a city of at least 20,000 on Coos Ray within a few year." This coming from Mr. Smith, a man well acquainted with the re sources of this country, who has here tofore been looked upon as one who rather regarded the possibilities of Coos Ray pessimistically should be highly encouraging to all of the Coos County citizens. Mr. Smith is president of the Southern Oregon Company and is the heaviest timlier land owner in Southern ( Iregon. Mr. Mohr, who accompanied Mr. Smith, being one of the leading rail road men of the west and a man with standing in railroad circles, it is quite probable that he is here relative to investigating the railroad possibilities of this section. It is thought that should a company buy the Spreckels interests, Mr. Mohr might have as an object here the investigation relative to taking the matter up with Wall Street financiers in order to lloat the bonds necessary to extend the road out. Mr. Mohr has a good standing in railroad circles and through his recommendation it is thought Wall Street financiers could be induced to take it up.
