TAFT IS RIGHT.
The statement made recently
Hot Springs, Arkansas, by Hon. Wil
liam H. Taft, that "there is no class
of the American electorate the voters
of which could be. or would be, de
livered by its- leaders" is one that
appeals to the pride and honesty of
every group in the country. The day
of that sort of political leadership is
fast waning in this country, to its
very distinct credit and betterment.
There has been a wonderful evolu
tion in the manner of disposing local
and general politics throughout the
United States in the past few years;
a publicity, a fearless and masterful
system of man-handling, a popular
and justifiable grilling, and the intro
duction of popular legislation circum
scribing the rabid force and trend of
political action on the part of leaders
that has diminished, and to a great
extent, nullified, the influence and
power of the old-time boss; he is
fast becoming a back-number, and if
the country owes nothing else to the
alleged "muck-raker" it does owe him
largely for the impetus he has givn
in this behalf, a plea and course of
political redemption that was pro
found needed. fcAnd the ene invin
cible proof of the efficacy of this work
of exposure and readjustment, lies in
the ' co-ordinate statement ' of the
great Republican candidate, that "the
National Republican Committee will
accept no contributions from corpo
rations," which is acentuated by a
similar declaration from Democratic
headquarters.
There is measureable comfort in
these conclusions for the ordinary
voter of the land; it is a good thing
to know that the lordliest gift in the
possession of a free people is com
paratively safe from the gross and
stultifying touch of the Harpies and
peddlers of politics and that the con
servation of the boon is being forced
to perpetuation at the hands of the
men who stand pre-eminently at the
head of public thought and expres
sion, Taft, and Bryan.
Unhappily, Oregon has much to do
in recouping from the incubus and
disparagement to which she has
sunk from this very cause and the
sooner her people seek to realize
upon the freer and cleaner doctrine
of political thought and action the
better for the State in a thousand
ways. We must set up the better
standards if we would enjoy the
benefits that innure from them;

own company and plant,

It is well to be on guard against all
irresponsible overtures from un
known people. We know what we
want, and knowing and wanting, are
qualified to say what it shall be, who
shall supply it, what it shall cost, and
at upon what terms of franchise and
equipment it shall proceed; with this
leeway of prestige it is sheer folly to tiouj,tej
accept overtures trom people utterly
unknown and barren of unimpeach
able references. .
The Common Council , and the
Chamber of Commerce acting togeth
er, with the consent of the business
men of Astoria, are qualified to re
lieve a very unpleasant situation, and
do it without committing the public
to the uninvited interest of people
from the outside whose sole concern
in the case is on a par with that of
the company that has wrought the
very complexities that confronts us
at this time, to graft the people.
The markets reflect the idea that a
nominee who has lost twice will be
apt to get even a harder jolt the third
time.

MEXICO CITY, July . .-".Emigradoes"
and political exiles from the
Republic of Guatemala and Salvador
who for some time have taken up an
enforced residence hi this capital are
a unit in declaring that Dr. Herman
Prowe told the truth regarding Presi
dent Estrada Cabrera's contribution
to the republican campaign fund of
1904. More than a dozen of them
have been interviewed and most of
them express surprise when it was
said that Dr. Prowe's statement was
They declare that the pay
ment of the money to the American
minister was more or less of an open
secret and whether the Republican
campaign manager or the officers of
the present administration know any
thing of the matter or not Estrada
Cabrera does not forget it, for the
promised support from them did not
come, mis, tncy claim, was demon
strated within the past fortnight by
the presence of the criser Albany at
the Pacific Honduran port of Puerto
Cortez. The emigradoes, who meet
here at frequent intervals, claim to
have received advices from what they
characterize as an authoritative source
to the effect that Cabrera after in
veigling to his support President Fi
gueroa started the revolution in Hon
duras for the purpose of drawing
President Zelaya into the conflict and
then overthrowing both him and JJa
vila. Cabrera wis to name their suc
cessors and thus become master of
Central America in fact. As an ar
gument to win over President
declared that Cabrera answered that
an agreement between that country
and the United State existed by the
terms of which Mexico agreed to (al
low the lead of the United Stales
pertaining, to Ceiftral America in gen
eral and Guatemala in particular. The
only discrepancies in the storie told
by the emigradoes were regarding
the amount of the alleged contribu
tion to the Roosevelt campaign fund.
Some of tlienj maintained that the do
nation was $5,000 instead of $10,000
as reported by Dr. Prowe.

North Carolina, says: "I find Elec
