J EIGHT PAGES DAILY EAST ORBGOXIAN, PEXDLETOIf, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1910. rACUi CKTEK VJILL DEMOCRATS PROVE FOOLISH? HISTORIAN G. O. LEE talks op politics mY rce"'v I Mailing Most ScnttKv Has Land for Hacking; 8ent(le Una Water. Guy Cnrleton Lee. tho hlBtorlan and educator of Baltimore, where he was connected with JohnsHopklns unl vorslty for a good many years, thinks If Taft and Roosevelt have really quarreled, that either Judson Harmon or Woodrow Wilson will bo next pres. Ident of tho United States. If they haven't then It will bo Roosevelt for a third term, Boys a story In tho Ore gon Journal. Mr. Lee has been lecturer on com parative politics at George Washing ton university since 1900, and Is a close student of political affairs. Ho has been making a complete tour of tho United States In the Interests of tho National Society for Broader Ed ucation. Being a democrat, he thinks he appreciates tho peculiarities of tho present political situation with a pret ty good understanding. "The democrats have tho biggest opportunity to make fools of them selves they have had In years," said Mr. Lee at the Hotel Portland, where he arrived yesterday. flinnco Dangerous. "Wl'h their control of congress the chance Is a dangerous one. Whether they elect a democrat president of the United States In 1912 depends a good deal on the outcome of the dlssentlon In republican ranks. If It grows tho democrats will have the day. No body really knows how Taft and Roosevelt feel toward each other. A great many people say they do, but they don't. Theodore Roosevelt Is tho most astute politician that has sat In tho presidential chair since Martin Van Buren. He has a positive genius for politics. He makes the most ab surd and nsslnlne errors and blunders and, withal, he Is a consummate poli tician. If tho break In the republi can party can be healed he will be the next president. The democrats L have two good leaders Woodrow Wilson, preferably, though he hasn't tho physical strength needed, and Judson Harmon, who Is a very good man for the place" Mr. Lee has been making a care ful study of the Pacific northwest. He Is about to get out 20 more volumes of of the "History of North America," of which he Is editor, and of which SO volumes were published In 1904. He thinks the northwest hid better stop long enough to catch Its breath. Growing too rtowt. "You've been growing too fast here," he said. "Like boys playing football, It's necessary to stop and catch your breath. Don't be In such a hurry. You'll grow more rational In time to come if you allow your selves to settle a while now. For In stance, Seattle says she will have 500, 000 by next census. She'll have them some time, but not by next census. Seattle Is a good town, but her people arc In a very bad way Just now and It Is because sho has grown too fast. Tacomn actually Is a much better town than Seattle right now. It Is a dcllghtrul home place and a good manufacturing town. ' To compare Seattle and Portland Is like comparing water and food Se attle has you 'hklnned a mUe.' in in elegant language, so far as her harbor Is concerned. Portland Routs vnttlo. "You boat Seattle Just as far when It comes to extent of country and re sources behind you. You can't com pare the two places. Seattle Is han dicapped by having her waterfront owned by the railroads. Her salva tion lies In the electric lines that will make other shipping points accessible beyond her corporaton owned water frontage. Portland never did a bet ter thing than when she voted to own her own water front. It Is absolute ly necessary for commercial prosper ity." Dr.Lee, besides being connected with the Baltimore Sun and sending almost dally political articles to tho nttsburg Post. Is devoting a year's work to the National Society for Broader Kducation, of which he Is managing director. He says ho works 18 hours a day and he rarrles a sec retary with him to help out In the mass of correspondence with which his hotel room was filled an hour nfter his arrival.
