TILE ROOSEVELT STANDARD.
There can be Roosevelt among the young men of Pendleton and Umatilla
county, as well as among the descendants of Dutch families of New York. It
is not necessary to hold office In order to manifest the Roosevelt spirit and to
hold the Roosevelt Ideal of life.
Roosevelt in private life was the same fearless, uncompromising,
clean man that he is in public life. Grafters were held In the same utter
scorn, dishonesty was Just as heartily hated, duplicity and official rascality
were Just as fearlessly assailed by the citizen. Roosevelt, as by the president.
Roosevelt.
The East Oregonian believes that the sudden Introduction Into the public
life of the nation of such men as Tom Johnson. Joseph Folk. Robert La
Follette. Theodore Roosevelt, will prove to.be one of the most inspiring les
sons in the history of the nation for the young men. These men have come
at a time when a strong lesson in public decency was needed. They have
come forward with sterling traits and fearless principles. Just at the time when
such will have the best Influence on the people.
Public men have been prone to league themselves with rascals. If the ras
cals were rich, until they have given rascality among the rich a sort of decent
Tlace In the economic and social status of the nation.
This rascality is bold and aggressive and Its effrontery Is equal to that of
the devil, and it needs such men as Roosevelt in public life to slap It in the
face and send it to Jail and put It down wherever It shows Its putrid form in
public.
Young men should remember that there is very, very much In the world
besides money. There are moral standards to maintain regardless of getting
rich quick.

Look at Binger Hermann, stripped of honor and relegated to the lowest
piace in tne estimation or the people. It is his own fault. He had an oppor
tunity to do right and hold a high position in the public life of the nation.
Look at Senator Burton of Kansas, reduc ed to the very lowest scale in the
estimation of his constituents, because he thought money was the only thing.
He was dishonest, and' shrewd; he thought he could deceive the people, but
he was himself deceived. The people are vastly more intelligent than the
bigoted rascals who attempt to deceive them by such practices.
The Roosevelt standard applies to private life as well as to public life.
Young men In banks, stores, railroad offices, can live the Roosevelt ideal in
private life. They can hate fraud and graft, they can revere fearless honesty
and live up to the highest standard of manhood, although unknown and
obscure.
If a man in an obscure position Is found to be sterling In his qualities It
will not be long until he will be recognized and honored.
Joe Folk was "dead broke" when he came to St. Louis to practice law; he
is now governor of Missouri and has a world-wide reputation as a fearless
and honest official. There Is very, very much in the world beside money.
The day when the money-loving rascal can dominate the nation Is rapidly
drawing to a close. The Roosevelt standard of morals will win and hold the
esteem of the masses.
WHAT RUSSELL SAKE MISSED.
Russell Sage accumulated JlOO.nno.OOO, but he missed the chief Joy of life,
through his Intolerable miserly practices.
The chief Joy of life which this man missed was In spending his money In
a way that would have benefited mankind most.
All that Sage ever did was to absorb; he never gave out anything.
All his life was devoted to sucking In the smaller fishes that came into
the net of his financial genius. He waxed fat. In a sordid sense, and piled up
millions that will be a curse to his memory. His financial obesity was op
pressive, painful. It stifled his heart action, oppressed his little grey matter,
overloaded his soul with selfishness and made him a mental dwarf.
And to think of the fun he missed:
How many Joyful days might have been added to his long life, had he
Invited good health and longevity by right living, broiid thinking and charita
ble acts! What a world of good he could hnve done by scattering a portion of
his wealth with his own hand, us he approached the Inevitable end!
AMERICAN" "JUSTICE."
Today the Immigrants pouring
In through the open gates of our
seaport towns, the Indian when
settled In severalty, the negro
hardly emancipated from the
degradation of 200 years of
slavery, may all share In the
sovereignty of the state.
The white woman the Amer
ican woman the woman In
whose veins runs the blood of
those heroic colonists who
founded our country, of those
women who helped to sustain
the courage of their husbands
In the revolution; the woman
who may have given the flower
of her youth and health to the
service of our civil war, this
woman Is excluded.
Today women constitute the
only class of sane ' people ex
cluded from the franchise, the
only class deprived of political
repre.-.entallcn. except the tribal
Indians and the Chinese. Dr.

THE LAND THAT l'SEl TO HE.
FOLLOWING OREGON' S LEAD.
Aside from the contest over the United .States senatorshlp, the leading
issue In the coming state elections In Idaho and Washington will be the regu
lation of saloons, the suppression of gambling and the passage of a rigid local
option law.
Both of Oregon's young daughters will follow the lead of the mother Btate
In these reforms. Both of her daughters have taken hope from the results
of the campaign for better morals In Oregon, and within another year It Is
hoped that open gambling In both Washington and Idaho will have bin en-
tlrely suppressed and the liquor traffic closely regulated.
The day of saloon domination Is at an end In the northwest. The reign
of the saloon has been long and "glorious." It has held trumps In almost
every election In Oregon, Washington and Idaho since those states were first
carved from the wilderness. It has named officials, fixed official policies,
directed political conventions, written platforms, made pledges, established
moral standards and set a general public and private pace for almost half a
century.
Many of the most popular and beloved citizens of the northwest who are
now reposing peacefully In the bosom of society, have made their money from
unspeakable dives and unspeakable ways In the past.
Let the past carry Its responsibilities, but let us look to the future that no
similar mistakes be made In fixing social and moral standards.
Oregon, Idaho and Washington are populated with a sterling race of pio
neers who should not hesitate to take the liquor interest by the neck and
make It know Its place. If these young states do not begin now to regulate
the saloon, and regulate It firmly and with decision, prohibition will be voted
upon them In spite of all efforts to prevent It.
The people mean business when they undertake a reform of this Im
portance.
Beyond the purple." hazy trees
Of summer's utmost boundaries:
Beyond the sands, heyond the seas.
Beyond the ranee .of eyes like these.
And only in the reach of the
Fnrantuied gaze of memory
There lies the land long lost to me.
The land of Used to Be.
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirens clung
Alo".g their dripping brinks and sung
To Jason in the mystic tongue
That dazed men with Its melody.
Oh. such a land, with such a sea
Kissing its shores eternally.
Is the fair Used to Be!
A land where music ever girds
Th air with hells of singing birds
And sows nil sounds with such, sweet
words
That even In the lowing herds
A meaning lives so sweet to me;
lost laughter ripples Ilmpldly
From lipc brimmed o'er with all the
Slee
Of rare old Used to Be!
Oh. land of love and dreamy thoughts
And shining fields and shady spots.
Of coolest, greenest, grassy plots
Embossed with wild forgetmenots!
And all he blooms that cunningly
Lift their faces up to me
Out of the past, f kiss In thee
The Ill's of Used to Be.
love ye oil, and with wet eyes
Turned glimmeiingly on the skies
My blessings like your perfumes rise
Till o'er my soul a silence lies
Sweeter than any song to me.
Sweeter than any melody
Or ltr sweet echo yea. all three
My dreams of Used to Be.
James Whltcomh Riley.
EACH IN HIS OWN TONGUE.
A flre-mlst and a planet,
A crystal and a cell,
A Jelly-fish and a saurian,
And caves where the cave-men
dwell;
Then a sense of law and beauty
And a face turned from the clod:
Some call It Evolution,
And others call It God.
A haze on the horizon.
The Infinite, tender sky.
The ripe, rich tint of the cornfields,
And the wild goose sailing high;
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the goldenrod;
Siune of us call It Autumn,
And others call It God.
Like tides on a crescent sea beach,
When the moon Is new and thin.
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come welling and surging In;
Come from the mystic ocean.
Whose rim no foot has trod;
Some of us call It Longing,
And others call It God.
A picket frozen on duty.
A mother starved for her brood;
Socrates drinking the hemlock.
And Jesus on the rood;
And millions who, humble and name
less, The straight, hard pathway trod
Some call It Consecration,
And others call It God.
William Herbert Carruth.

KXEMITIO.X LAW IS INVALID.
That is a startling decision by the supreme court, declaring the exemption
law of Oregon Invalid.
For half a century this law has been In execution, exempting householders
from taxes on 1300 worth of the necessities of life. Now the poor man must
pay taxes on the limit of his little wealth.
This will not affect the man with large wealth. Three hundred dollars
to men of means amounts to nothing, comparatively, but to the small property
owner, whose sole wealth Is In the tools and Implements with w hich he must
make a living, this decision will be burdensome.
Non-resident capitalists who own land In Oregon, New Hampshire, Colo
rado and other states, will not feel the burden of this decision, but the poor
settler in the dry gulches and arid plains of Oregon, with his only holdings In
sight to be taxed In full, will cringe under this added weight of taxation.
The law has been In execution so long, Its fairness and Justice have bee
so long unquestioned, that It has become a fixture In Oregon an 1 must be re.
enacted, placed Indelibly upon the statutes of the state by the next legislature.

FRAZIER'S BOOK STORE
The man who thinks of nothing but
making money may not be capable of
realizing that other people can think
of nobler purposes. Like the pig,
with Its snout so deep In the trough
that lis eyes ore burled In the slop. Its
human prototype may also be unable
to see or think of anything in the
world but the one business of getting
all that's to be got. It Is right and
proper that the pig should have no
thought tut for Us stomach It Is
made that way. But with man It Is
different: to have a pig's mind he
must acquire It by killing the best
there Is In him. By will he renounces
manhood nnd debases himself to the
level of the animal. He spills no
blood but he murders a man to make
a pig. It Is the basest of suicides, and
perhaps the commonest. Richmond

CANNED AGONIES.
We are all worked up over the bad
meat question as a result of Upton
Sinclair's "The Jungle." We are hit
In the stomach and In the purse.
Yet nothing Is said of the real mo
tive of the book, which Is the slavery
of the working people In the slaugh
ter houses of "Packlngtown." We
don't care about the body-wrecking,
soul-destroying oppression of the men
and women, boys and girls who pack
ed the diseased meats. Oh, no!
What does any one care for the
workers? But we are fearsomely
squeamish about our own bellies. The
worst things put Into the "tins" In
Chicago ore the heart-break, the de
flowered virtue, the nirony and squalor
of the poor creatures forced to slave
In the bloody hells at "tarvatlon wages.
But how little we see of reference
to this In the dally papers. Sinclair
rang the bell all right with his "Jun
gle" shot, but not on the target at
which he aimed. St. Louis Mirror.
Unshorl, unkempt nnd with his throai
Laid bare to winds that swep the
ploln.
He slir-ks Into the frontier town
And quickly shambles forth again.
The voices of his fellowmrn
Strike all discordant, nnd his breast
Leaps not wit hlongings for a friend
His all Is yonder In the west.
The fr'end he loves Is Siiitudc
That voiceless creature of the vast,
Whose presence mankind should en
thrall The while a smiling world shall last.
And so the herder turns from men.
And. with his panting dog at heel.
Plods to that life which all his kind
Can not Interpret, vet, enn feel!

BROTHERS, MY liKOTHERS!
What man would sing when humbled
lies
The city of ten thousand love!
I hold mv song till she arise,
Like Aphrodite with her doves.
From out the splendid sapphire sea
That loved her In her Infancy.
Let hammers ring, let men be brave;
And more than nil. let nil be proud
To lift this loved one from her grave
And build her throne beneath the
cloud.
For you nnd me the task Is clear
And song shall f-illow, never fear!

DO NOT READ IT.
Because Harrv Thaw Is the son nnd
heir of a man who acquired $40,000,
000, his ense Is regarded as note
worthy. Therefore we have his pic
ture, his mother's picture, hlB wife's
picture ,and acres of slush regarding
all three In the morning papers dny
after day. San Franciscans have
troubles enough of their own nearer
home, and should be allowed to re
serve their thought nnd sympathy for
them. The Star, therefore, abandons
the whole distressing tale to those who
like that sort of thing, and recom
mends Its readers to do likewise.
The drunken son of a local mil
llonalre was arrested In this city Sat
urday to save him from wandering
Into dangerous places In the ruins,
When placed In the patrol wagon he
objected to the presence of the other
drunks, saying they were "not In his
class." He should take warning that
he Is rapidly getting Into their class.
