General APAtHY to the rear
IN CAMPAIGN
Old General Apathy 1ms been
relieved of the command of the
Republican national campaign,
and from this time 011 until
election day in November, there
promises. to be no lack of inter
est. The past week has been
enlivened by a tilt between
President Roosevelt and Candi
date Bryan, as an outcome of
the exposure of the record of
Governor C. N. Haskell of Ok
lahoma, treasurer of the Nil
tional Democratic Committee,
whose close connection with the
otundam Uu interests was
shown, and who has since re
signed the treasurership of the
national committee.
The spectacle of a President
of the" United States engaging
in a wordy combat with a pres
idential candidate over the is-jsues-of
the campaign is without
precedent. But, to those who
have properly gauged the devo
tion of Pi esident Roosevelt to
the cause for which the Repub
lican party and his administra
tiou staiid, there- is no occasion
for sumriFe. lime and time
x-
again has the President taken
uu the cudeel in defense of his
-
'administration, and the exigen
icies of the. present have been
sufficient iustification for ignoi
4 w
ing the precedent or lack of
brecedent in the past. In the
or
TJiesent instance no one could
construe the President's partiu
ipation in the campaign as par
tisan politics. It is broader
.than that. It is the continua
tion of his fight for the moral
uplift, for the integrity of out
financial system, for the welfare
of our wage earners, and for the
'square deal to all our business
interests. Mr. Taft stands lor
all the things the Roosevelt ad
ministration has advocated, and
for the continuation of those
policies which have made the
,'present administration the most
popular in the history of our
'couutry. Mr. Roosevelt sees in
Mr. Taft, not a fellow-republi-"can
only, but a great, fearless,
ipright" man, who has served
his country with distinguished
iibility in every capacity in
which he has been tried, and
Vho is best fitted to carry on
the great reforms begun under
Ihe present administration.
In the language of the Presi
tlent upon being informed of the
-nomination of Secretary Taft for
the Presidency, "I do not be
lieve there could be found in all
the country a man so well fitted
to be President. He is Hot only
absolutely fearless, absolutely
" tiisinterested and upright; but
he has the widest acquaintance
with the Nation's needs, with
out and within, and the broad
fcst sympathies with all otlr cit
izens. He would be as emphat
ically a President of tlie plain
people as Lincoln, yet hot Lin
coln hhnseir would be freer
from the least taint of dema
gogy, the least tendency to
arouse or appeal to class hatred
bf any kind. No matter what
iv man's occupation or bouu
position, no matter what his
treed or color; or .the section of
country from wfiich he comes,
if he is an Honest, hard work
Jng lhan who tries to do his
Stity towards hi neighbor ana
lowMdB his fc'oitotry; he ban rest
MUred thkl lib will Mate b
in M: Txiff M)'8 fright W
representatives and the, most
fearless of champions."
And, believing these things to
be true, it is not surprising that
President Roosevelt has thrown
himself into the fight for Mr.
Taft, with his characteristic
vigor and eneigy.
FOR THE WEATHER PROPHET
AN OPPORTUNITY
Tlie weather prophet will now
have an opportunity to try his
luck. It is too early to learn
whether the squirrels have
stored up an exlia supply of
nutsj or whether the bears have
moved in closer to the towns,
but the unusual spell of cold
weather last week opens up u
wide field of speculation. Opin
ions cati be had on all sides of
the question, so it is possible
that some of them will be cor
rect. But which? Last year
we had a late Pall and a re
markably mild and opon Win
ter until late in the season, but
when Winter did set in it ap
peared loth to quit. Reasoning
conversely, we should have our
Winter early in the season, and
an early Spring. But the rule
vill not always work.

FARMING MADE EASY
The Prineville correspondent
of the Portland Telegram, in an
item to that paper, says that
one Of the homesteaders North
of Prineville is uRev. J. T. Moore,
a Baptist preacher, who devotes
three Sundays a month to relig
ious services, and the remainder
to his faun." That's not much
time to devote to the farm, but
even with one ouuday's hard

this.
