rolling into the contest department
of the Astorian in greater numbers

The leading provisions of their de
structive program were registered in
their anti-injunction bill and in the
projected amendment to the Sherman
Law. By the, former measure they
proposed to abolish a peculiarly use
ful weapon of the courts which had
been in operation in England and the
United States for centuries, and
which has, averted vast injury to per
son and property,-By their Sherman
Law amendment they availed the
United States Supreme Court for de
claring that the American Federation
of Labor was a trust in the plain
meaning .of the Sherman Act, and be
cause the court set forth that the
labor thrust was amenable to' all the
penalties of that statute, just like the
industrial, the commercial and all the
other sorts of trusts.
The outlook for the country is
bright. All the threatened destruction
legislation is defea'ed. Much con
structive legislation of a high cur
rency, has been enacted. If the pres
ent dominant party carries the coun
try in 1908 we shall, in an extra ses
sion of Congress next spring, have an
adjustment of the tariff which will
bring the schedules down to date, and
remove the shades from every in
dustry. Financial confidence is re
turning. All the indications say that
a new era of prosperity will soon
open for the country. American Industries.
greeting is one of full fellowship.
"The first thing I noticed in Wash
ington was that this custom was not
universal, and that it did not obtan
in the capital. Every hand that was
extended to me was one expressing
doubt, suxpivion, and an unspoken
but unmistakable demand that if I
amounted to anything I would have
to prove it. In my country we accept
a man and prove him afterwards. In
Wathington a man proves himself
and i accepted afterwards. Many a
new congressman has left the pres
ence of Secretary Locb in the belief
that with all hi artlc experienct
there are degrees of cold which Peary
has never known."
WHAT AILS HIM?
ed, sneaking, unscrupulous politicians! bers of that order into the display of
ROOSEVELT'S GOOD NAME
Compare the pitiable human be
ings who have collapsed from expos
ure curing the last two years with
the superb figure in the White House.
But yesterday those men stood on a
level with Mr. Roosevelt in popular
esteem; to-day they are despised of
all men. Xo power can ever restore
them to their former influence. They
have discredited themselves, and are
dead .o the American people. The
trruble with these men who went
down so quickly in the public esteem
surat e officials, railroad men, bank
ers, financiers. They were playing a
false part.
Mr. Roosevelt early resolved that,
let what would come, whether he
succeeded in what he undertook or
failed, whether he made friends or
enemies, he would not take chances
with h;s good name: that he would
part with everything else first, that
he would never gamble with his repu
tation, that he would keep his record
clean, His first ambition was to
stand for something, to be a man.
Before he was as politician or any
thing else the man must come first.
In his early career he had many
was r'at they were not men. before opp- rtunities to make a great deal of
they were congressmen, senators in- money by allying himself with crook-
lie had all sorts of opportunities for
political ' graft. But crookedness
never had any attraction for him. He
refused to be a party to any political
jobbery, any underhand business. He
preferred to lose any position he was
seeking, to let somebody else have it,
if he must get smirched in getting it.
He would not touch a dollar, place or
preferment unless it came to him
clean, with no trace of jobbery on it.
Politicans who had an "axe to grind"
knew it was of np use to try to bribe
him or to influence him with promise
of patronage, 'money, position, or
power. Mr. Roosevelt knew perfect
ly weil that he would make many mis
takes and' many enemies, but he' re
solved to carry himself in such a way
that even his enemies should at least
respect him for his honesty of pur
pose, and for his straightfoarward,
"square-deal" method. He resolved
to keep his record clean, his name
white, . at. all hazards. Everything
else seemed unimportant in compari
son. SuccessMagazine,
an arrogance toward their employers
which would ilisturb every great act
ivity, would destroy all hope o the
revival of financial confidence this
year, and which would give a cala
mitous setback to. the country's trade.
The circumstance that the country
was on the eve of a canvass which
would elect a President, a House of
Representatives and legislatures
which would choose a third of the
members of the Senate, gave the
labor union chiefs a particularly
powerful incentive for their crusade.
CHILLY FOR NEW MEMBER
"I came to Congress representing
a country which is new; where there
arc no old roads, no old towns, no
old families. Out -there we follow no
method to-day merely because some
one followed it yesterday. We cut
across the open praries, each man
taking his own course with the joy
of initiative made up half of indepen
dence and half of impeachment of. the
judgement of the man in the wagon
ahead of him. We do not keep in the
rut. In owf activity to keep out of it,
possibly we go to the other extreme,
for the new merchant in my town is
likely to draw all the 'trade for a
while, the new music teacher to get
all the pupils, and the new lawyer to
be rated truly marvelous before he
has tried a single case. In my coun
try we accept a stranger with enthusi
astic warmth upon the community.

THE FUNERAL CAME TO LATE
Billy Martin, aged four, came to
his mother and in great ecstasy ex
claimed: "Oh, 'mother! Louise and
Carherry found such a nice dead cat,
and they are going to have a funeral,
and can I go?" Permission was given,
and when Billy returned he wasqucs
tioncd as to the outcome of the fun
eral. "They did not have it at all." .
"And why not?"
"Mother," was ( the answer, "the
cat was too dead."

THE SITUATION
Regardless altogether of the causes
of the money scarce of last October
and November, and of the industrial
reverse which came to the country
as a consequence, these conditions
were aggravated by the program of
vicious legislation which was put
forward by the leaders of the labor
unions. Their demand for laws in the
special interest of their very small
serious menace to industry and busi
ness of all- sorts. By- setting- up a
favored order in the community the
members of the labor unions this
legislation would encourage the mem-
Grand Prize, Reo Automobile, to be Given Away by MORNING ASTORIAN in Popular Contest.
