By the grace of clean, renown, un disputed ability and perfect fitness, backed by the ardent friendship and cordial sponsoring of Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, war secretary of the nation, has been named as the nominee of the Repub- J aSe- lican party for the office of President of the United States. There are those who will urge that the undisguised championship of the President, has been mainly responsi ble for the choice of Mr. Taft, and to a certain extent this is true; but no man may deny, successfully, the es sential fact that the great Ohioan pos sesses within himself, all the qualities indispensable in the great game and function of president-making; that as man, citizen, scholar, jurist, diplomat ist, cabinet officer, he is not equipped superbly for the great post. If this were not so Theodore Roosevelt never would have endorsed him and her alded him to the people as the best, available man before them; nor, if Taft's qualifications not of the very highest order would the people have suffered their President to name him and counsel their support of him, profoundly as the Americans revere and trust their chief executive. William H. Taft, by deep study and ripened interest has mastered the last detail of administration of admin istrative life and processes; by asso ciation and experience he has taken over the wisdom of the tried and proven; his mind and heart and hand are trained to the pursuit and execu tive of great duties; he has been too long the trusted representative of his famous chief, the man nearest the core of American administrative life and action, to lack insight and definite knowledge of the tremendous trust that now calls him. Away up here in the far northwest ern corner of the vast realm he stands for, his name and character are as fair and familiar as Roosevelt's own; no one doubts, nor denies, nor disparages him; his candidacy appeal; with force and certainty and perfect clarity, to every informed citizen of this section ,as to those in closer touch with him; he is the practical and plausible candidate of the party; not because Mr. Roosevelt has said so, but because he is honored with that officer's supreme confidence, as the President himself is honored with the undeviating and justified faith of the American electorate. Taft is no weakling, nor substitute man, no stalking candidate; and we waits upon him, or them, who shall thus rate him, in, or out, of the presi dency; that he will be devoutly true to the policies established by the present President need not be doubt ed, for he has counselled them and helped in the fixing of them, and will adhere to them on the simple ground of their justice and cleanliness and wholesomeness, and not because they are dubbed "Rooseveltian" by the men who are squirming beneath the pem.l power of their enactment. He will be made president of the country in due time and by a major vote that vill mean much to him; as much as it meant to his predecessor 31 months ago. He is logically in line for the great office, fit and ready for it, and the people of the land are squarely, and gladly, at his elbow. He will make a great campaigner, and a great President!. structor of the G. A, R., Department of Xew York, has fittingly described the flag in these words: "The flag we admire was born in the travail of revolution; was crucified in rebellion; sanctified in the blood of patriots and glorified in its tripmph over tyranny, It is the standard of civil and re ligious liberty a promise of free doma vesture of protection an as surance of prosperity. Its every ripple is a smile of confidence and its wave of gesture of authority. Fol lowing it embraces fidelity and cour Assailing it brings desolation and humility. For these reasons and others the day will forever be re vered. Exchange. PLANS A WORLD BEATER. A world beater without doubt will be the battleship authorized a few days ago by England, but for how long will probably be determined by Germany. The two countries are such frenzied competitors in marine affairs, along both commercial and military lines, that the Kaiser is likely to order a ship that will excel the new leviathan of the British. The battleship planned by the Admirality will be of 21,000 tonnage and is to cost about $11,000,000. Instead of having 12-inch guns, such as the Dreadnaught type carry, her main battery will be composed of 13.5-inch rifles. Another feature will be the installation of gas engines to take the place of steam. At the next Hague conference the advisability of limiting the size of battleships might be a subject for discussion. It is a fearful pace that is being set. Ex change. lMt-H,-t -.4.' ,.'' ' Xi A' !

The Salem "Statesman", has this to say of the Georgia Harper Company, which will open here at the Astoria Theatre next week: "It was a small audience that greeted the opening performance of the Georgia Harper Company at the opera house last night, but those who attended were well entertained by a most finished performance of that of that old and well known romance of Drury Lane and Charles II of Eng land, Nell Gwynn.
