says in his paper: But there
have been no 'bad official rec

point to a better record for its state
and county officials for the past 25
years than can Oregon under its Re

HESIDENT KOOSEVEI,T was
reported as saying recently, in
a talk perhaps not meant for
the public, but whicli Is good
for the people TrJiear or read:
"Some of my old friends in New
York think I'm crazy. Some others
think I am a knave. They have
thought of me as a member of their
clubs, as a friend of their friend.
But they live a narrow life, and take
a restricted view of public questions.
I once lived that, life, and I can. see
how it looks to them. Bnt I have
had another life than that. I have
been up against the man in the
checked shirt, and I come pretty
near being able to see some things
from his point of view. And it is
this that my old friends are unable
to understand. Not .being able -to
and California. But that "there
, have been no bad official records"
we speak of legislative as well as
administrative recordswe cannot
concede; Or if ; not "bad," as com
pared witliuiome, or even the aver
age, they might and should have
been 'much, better. ' it
What about that thirty -odd thou
sand dollars of the school land fund
that a clerk- of the board stole, none
of it -ever being recovered, for in-
, stance? And haft not every legisla
ture7 persistently refused to reform
the tax code so "as to increase the
Bources of revenue? . And must we
allude again $o the. men elected to
congress for years? for their records
are part of that of the Republican
party of Oregon.
- The . Republican party of Oregon
will hold a convention in 'a few
t weeks to elect delegates to the na
tional convention, choose presiden-
demagogue that ever lived."
It is worth a good deal to this
country to have for president a man
who has worked out of a "narrow
life," who has "been up against the
man in the checked shirt" and can see
things from his point of view, who
can. put himself in the places of
others widely separated, and hold
well balanced the scales of justice
between them, even while both ex
tremes are denouncing him as their
enemy.
Roosevelt, if he said this, is right;
there are scarcely any .narrower peo
ple "In the country than some of
those monopolistic multimillionaires
of New York. For a president to
understand things as they do would
be direfully disastrous to the coun
try. He only is a great and suffl
cient statesman who has "been up
against the man in the checked
shirt," who has sojourned in spirit
with the man In the overalls, who
has appreciated and understood the
an end to or at least a check upon
the corruption that obtained in every
department of the public service, to
an extent never dreamed of in this
country, bad as it has been in this
respect. Fat offices were created al
most without number for ; political
hirelings, enormous gt-afts flourished
tnrougnuut an ueparimenis, laxa
tion reached a point that threatened
national bankruptcy, and liberals
and conservatives to some extent
united in demanding a complete
change of system. So the glutton
ous king was forced to appoint a
dictator in whom the people have
some confidence. s
One of the first things Franco did
was to dissolve the rotten cortes, and
he refuses to convene another until
he and his cabinet can work out' cer
tain reforms. He has abolished dual
and in many cases multiple sinecures,
has reduced salaries to reasonable
limits, and has actually required of
ficiuls to do something to earn their
salaries. He even cut off the queen
dowager's allowance by $40,000 a
year, bo if Carlos can be kept In
political seclusion, drunk or in his
harem, and Franco Is patiently given
time by the people, he may save

The Pendleton Tribune says that
its Portland Republican contem
porary has found fault only with
the Republicans of Oregon, but has
expressed "not a word of dissatis
faction with the policies of their
party as a great national organlza
Ion." What about all those hun
dreds of columns of criticism of the
protective tariff, and advocacy of
'free trade '? And isn't protection
the principal policy of the Repub
lican party?

Though there 1 no desire for such a

Wanted to Check Her Baby.
From the Eugene Register.
Just about the time the passenger
train pulled in from the south yesterday,
a woman rushed up to Baggagemaster
Leonard Oross and said, "Here, I wan
you to check the baby to Junction."
Mr. Oross was somewhat nonplusse
and asked her to repeat her request.
Again she said, "I want you to check
thl baby to Junction. There will be
woman there to receive it and It won'
make you any bother? '
' Whose baby Is It and where Is vou

"It's my baby and I don't need nnv
ticket; I ve been told I could eend
baby that way. anu the woman there
said she would keep it a while for me.
i ou oo as I ten you.
At this she turned white in the face
she was so angry that the Inhuman bag
gageman would not do as she wanted
him.
Mr. Gross drew himself uo to that
calm dignity which he can so well as
sume and saia:
Madam, it Is now high time that
should make a few remarks.: I have
been in the railroad business for 15
years. I have carefully read all the In
structlons given to baggagemen about
the handling of baggage. We can check
trunks, no matter what is In them. We
can check dogs, cats sheep, goats and
all kinds of pets, but in all the litera
ture that Mr. Harrlman has ever Issued
that I have read, there is not one word
said about checking babies. I refuse to
do ft; and moreover, what kind of a
motner are your wny, my wire would
as lief think of throwing one of our
little angels Into the Ganges, or under
the wheel of the gYeat Juggernaut as
to trust ipem to tne mercies or the
cruel, rough baggagemen who smash
thing to piece. Woman, your request
cannot d graniea.
