Baltimore Sun. AS TO MR. CAKE. The Dalles Optimist has said and the Oregonian and Oregon Daily Journal have repeated It, that H. M. Cake Is not senatorial timber, that he has twice forced himself upon the peo pie of Oregon as ar senatorial candi date and that It Is time to squelch him. Let us see. The republicans of Or egon selected Mr. Cake as their choice for United States senator over Charles W. Fulton, "the best United States senator Oregon ever had," In the words of the Optimist. If Mr. Ful ton was "the best ever," why was Ms. Cake selected in his stead by the re publicans? Was not Mr. Cake still better, in the estimation of the repub licans of Oregon, despite the snarls and growls and grouches of Mr. Ben nett, editor of the Optimist? Mr. Cake has the same right to .-Hand for senator that Fulton, Lowell, Smith or Bourne had. Under the di rect primary law any man may run for office and the people must select their choice. Mr. Cake knowing this, made the race and gracefully submit ted to the will of the . people after having been selected by his party over "the best senator," Fulton. And the best part of It Is today that H. M. Cake is not pouting over the result of the election. Although Ful ton republicans turned against their party and elected a demoorat to "get even" on Mr. Cake, yet he is taking the result manfully and Is heartily supporting the republican presidential ticket and will make an active cam paign In the state for this ticket. He has prove! that he is a man of good sense, solid character and broad guagp sentiments and will not stoop to knife a political opponent and elect a democrat to get even. Can the Ore gonian or Bennett of the Dalles Op tiRiist, say as much? Between Mr. Cake, who Is now and has always supported the republican ticket and the Fulton following which knifed Mr. Cake and elected a demo cratic senator, which best represents republican principles? Which Is "senatorial timber?" THE "ROOSEVELT CHOICE." It Is safe to say that no other Indi vidual In American politics ever ex erted the same power'and Influence that President Theodore Roosevelt has exerted while chief executive of the nation. Everything Is subject to the "Roosevelt choice." Taft was "the Roosevelt choice" for the presidency; Knox Is the Roose velt choice" for the United States su preme bench; this man and that man has been "the Roosevelt choice" ever since Roosevelt mounted the bridge and took charge of the ship of state. And the best thing about it Is that "the Roosevelt choice' has, so far, proved to be about as near right as it was possible to get He has made confoundedly few serious mistakes. His wisdom equals his aggressiveness, a feature seldom found in a man of the Roosevelt type. He is seldom re quired to "back up" on any choice which he makes. He reorganized the Panama canal commission and management to suit himself and the work has proceeded with more rigor than ever. He clean. ed out the portofflce department and placed It on a working basis. He got after the land and timber syndicates and threw a wall of protection about the priceless resources of the nation. He called the governors together to discuss the preservation of forests, water power and public lands find started a movement which will "be a blessing to coming generations. The Roosevelt way Is a peculiarly practical and appropriate way and for a man of Intense energy and ceaseless activity, he has made precious few mistakes. His administration will go down In history as one worthy of spe cial mention. He has mado history. INCREASING TONNAGE. Increasing tonnage is an Inevitable accompaniment of Increased transpor tation facilities. There Is no argu ment In the statement often made that the tonnage on the navigable rivers of the United States is Insignificant. It Is a statement of a fallacy. It Is a certain that tonnage will follow the avenue of transportation, as It is cer tain that where there is no avenue there can be no tonnage. There was no tonnage overland be fore the great railways were construct ed, even though it were true that the inland waterway tonnage Is Insignifi cant and It Is not true there would come tonnage to the inland waterway ii increasing volume with each year because of the cheapness, the certain ty and the safety which waterway transportation always provides. The inland waterways of Prussia unimproved and the same waterways Improved show that tonnage inevita bly "follows the Improved waterway. There could be no more striking Il lustration of the fact than the official figures submitted to the Prussian diet, during the course of thb present year, and quoted by Consul General Guen ther, of Frankfort, In a recent report to the department of commerce and labor. According to the figures presented to the diet there were 9,823,363 metric tons carried on the Rhine In 1906. With the completion of the Improve ment of that river, there were 24,753,- 075 metric tons carried in 1907. On the Elbe there were carried 3,580,259 metric tons In 1906 and 7,362,500 In 19r The Oder carried 1,409,731 metric tons In 1906 and 3,068,984 In 1907, while with the Improvement of the "Waterways of the Mark" near Berlin,-no less than 12,231,675 metric tons were carried through the locks of the Improved waterway In that year the first of the Improvement. The figures quoted from the report form a complete answer to the falla cious objection that the tonnage of the Inland waterway Ms Insignificant Tonnage follows the Improved Inland waterway and all experience demon strates the fact. The advantages which trade and commerce possesses in Prus sia are In the fact that the improve ment of the Inland waterways of the kingdom is begun and carried on un der a definite plan as part of the fixed policy of the government, with appro priations for the work finding place In the annual appropriation budgets, not only without objection in the diet but with commendation, and appreci ation of the Immeasurable benefits to trade and commerce arising from the adonUon of the system. That Is the system advocated for the United States by the National Rivers and Harbors congress. It Is the only system under which the work o? Improvement of waterways can be carried on and completed, and It Is the spstfcm which has received the unqualified endorsement of the great commercial and Industrial organiza tions of the country. PENDLETON'S ORATORS. It Is significant to note that Pen dleton is furnishing three Fourth of July orators for the three 'principal Fourth of July celebrations of eastern Oregon Congressman Ellis for La Grande, Judge Stephen A. Lowell for Josephand Rev. W. H. Bleakney for Pilot Rock. This Is a compliment to the city of Pendleton which is fully appreciated by her people. There ls. much larger proportion of good lawyers, good orators and eloquent speakers in Pendleton than li: Portland, according Jo population. When there Is a difficult and im portant law suit anywhere in eastern Oregon, one or more Pendleton at torneys take part in it. When a stir ring lecture ts desired In eastern Or egon, a Pendleton lecturer is called upon, and when a rousing Fourth of July celebration is pulled off In this section a Pendleton man usually de livers the principal address. This is a part of the work of the city, a part of her mission In the community life of Oregon. She is proud of her business and profession al men who make the Pendleton spirit By the end of the present year there will be at least It private irrigation pumping plants In Umatilla county. These plants average about eight horse power each and would consumo several thousand gallons of denatur ed alcohol If It were available In large quantities and at reasonable cost. Pendleton's brewery plant could find a good market for Us product right here at home, should It be converted Into a denatured alcohol manufactur ing plant.' WHAT WALTER DAMROSCH THINKS OF MISIC. The Whitman Pioneer says of Wal ter Damrosch and his talk on music at Whitman college, recently. Dam rosch said: "Musicians never grow old. I would advise each one of you young people to cultivate the art of music, for it will keep you young. Years mean nothing to a musician because of the divine art of music. Music expresses battle, but battles of a different sort from those waged by the great military leaders and he roes. Battles of music are of the soul, they are spiritual battles; waged In other and higher regions than those of 32-lnch guns. Beethoven was the man who brought symphonic music to its high est perfection, and Beethoven's cen tury marked the highest development of this kind of mus!c. The age of Wagner is one of dramatic music. Wagner sought to weld music, panto mime, dramatic action and scenery Into a musical drama. He turned away from stereotyped form ami sought for something fresher, origi nal and natural. The Wagnerian or chestral music Is music of perpetual melody. Mf. Damrosch then proceeded to speak of music as an educational fac tor. "It Is the highest and noblest of all aesthetic studies. Music has great value as a life work, for It will be a life to overflowing. There Is no rec. rention so soul-refreshing after the humdrum of daily life as music. It is the greatest developer of home life. drawing the family together as noth ing else will. What would be thought of a man or woman who did not know Shakespeare, Byron, Keats, Shelley or Dante? A knowledge of these is thought essential, but Schu mann and Beethoven should be as well known to the cultured person. "Music feeds the Inner life of the soul more satisfactorily than do any of the other arts. Symphonic music is like metal. The deeper you dig Into It the richer It Is found to be. The Germans are great lovers of symphonic music, and we often find German families who can assemble an orchestra among the various mem bers, and who spend their spare time In playing the symphonies of Beetho. ven and Schumann. "Wherever I go In my wanderings, in which I am like the 'Flying Dutch man,' I find enthusiastic teachers de veloping in Intellectual nnd enthusi astic Interest In symphonic music, so that when the symphony orchestra come, they find the way paved and nn enthusiastic audience awaiting them." Mr. Damrosch followed his talk by playing the "Love Song" from Wag ner's "Volkerle." THE LIGHTS OF HOME. Pilot, how far from home? Not far, not far tonight; A flight of spray, a sea bird's flight. A flight of tossing foam, . And then the lights of home. And yet again how far? Seems you the way so brief? Those lights beyond the rolling reef Were lights of moon and star, Far, far, none knows how far! Pilot, how far from home? The great stars pass away Before Him as a flight of spray, Moons ns a flight of foam! I see the lights of home. Alfred Xoyes in the Cornhlil Mag azine.
