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.

HARNEY SETTLERS WANT-
BOUNTY ON JACK It ARRETS
Burns. Or The Burns Commercial
club has started a movement to se
cure an enactment by the next legis
lature passing a small bounty on Jack
rabbits. This at first glance may ap
pear ridiculous but tho Jack rabbit
pest is a serious proposition In this
part of Oregon. The sage brush
plains are alive with them nnd suc
cessful cultivation of gardens, fruit
trees, alfalfa nn.l even grain has been
an Impossibility the past two sea
sons on account of their ravages.
The new settlers, who have been
numerous the past two years, and
the old settlers as well, have been
greatly discouraged in their efforts at
raising crops on account of the de
vastation wrought by the rabbit pest.
For tho protection of orchards and
gardens, wire neiiing iencrs nave
been erected at heavy expense, but
the rabbits dig under them and when
built at the ordinary height, which Is
supposed to shut out the rabbits, they
soon learn to Jump over. The coun
ties of Crook, Lake, Grant and Mal
heur will also be asked to Join in the
movement for a bounty, so as to en
courage extermination of the rabbits.
The club has also Inaugurated a
movement to give moral and substan
tial support to Senator Parrlsh nnd
Representative Brooko In securing
legislation for establishment of an
agricultural experiment station In
Harney valley, as advocated by Pres.
Ident Kerr of tho ngrlcultlral college.
