Frank L. Stanton. HE SHENXEI) THE Sl IJJECT. Now that President Taft has de parted from the state after having been cordially entertained in Port land the fact that stands out most conspicuously is that in his addresses to the people of Oregon he never made reference to a subject that Is of ab sorbing interest here the Oregon system. In this respect the president failed to show the frankness and candor that have always been characteristic of his predecessor. It is a habit of Col. Roosevelt to declare his convic tions when he talks in public no mat - ter where he may be. When he ran for vice president he went to Den ver and talked for the gold standard though Colorado was the stronghold of free silver. He talked there as he talked in New York. While here last spring the ex-president also discu&sed the Oregon sys tem. Most of our reformatory meas ures appeal to him and he said so, though he made some criticisms too. When Governor Woodrow Wilson was here last sprin? he discussed the Otegon system very freely. He had warm praise for the initiative and referendum, the dlreet primary and other Oregon measure save the pro vision for ihe recall of the Judiciary. He criticis-d the recall of the judi ciary and he criticised Oregon's long ballot. Poms like'l what the visitor siid and some did not, but all learned wWre he stood. It is regrettable that President Taft " aid not express himself with reference to direct legislation, the direct prim ary law, the corrupt practices act, th prudential preference law and . other reforms that go to make up the Oregon system. Thoso Ciins are of nation-wide Interest and are of more . pressing important than tno gPn(.raI S'lbjeet of international pence. They lave to do with making our demo cracy effective win, maintaining government i,, behalf of all the peo ple rather than for the benefit ef cer tain interests. is President Taft oppose, to the , Oregon pystem or did he merely fall in with bad advisors while. In this etate. The r.u-t is noticable that the asemblyites w,.re rnu,h in evidence during hi.s stay. In private they may hnve been even busi'-r than they were In public. AXOTIIEIt ClilSADE? The fantastic report Is out that Italy will strive to retake the Holy Land from the Turks, put wars are new waged on different lines from what they were In the days of Kich ard the Lion Hearted. In those dayi men fought for Gorl and the ladies, but really for the love of fighting. Nowadays most wars are for purpos ei. of commercial expansion. If Italy tries to take Palestine It will be more for the sake of trade than to recover the holy eupelchre. It would seem thoui-'b iliat Uie commerce of Jerusa lem and tributary territory would nnrcely be worth the cost of the ru BKireJ holy war. I - .... . - LET IT SLEEP. It la reported that the faloonmen. or some of them, are espousing a candidate for mayor. But why should tliey biHOine so active? The saloon .lues.ien U not an issue in Pendleton now. The- ii:tstioti has been settled and let it be hoped settled for a long dm to come. IVndletnn is wot and there Is no iff,. it on foot to make it diy. Leading prohibitionists are wil ling to accept the result us It stands. Why cannot the sutoonmen also let will enough alone? Pendleton dojs m t neid a saloon mayor nor an anti salnon mayor. What is needed is a man who will strive to serve the city a;- a whole and no particular class. WHY SHE CHOSE HIM.

He personally cannot even delay it much. He can, in fact, do little more tiiun get run over, There l.avo been ninny times in the world's history when Tatts were needed. There will be times again. Hut a Taft today is a danger-spot.- He calls to mind, to indulge in another met phor, a stouthearted and musculai volunteer on a boat In the rapids, de voting himself to the task of heading up-stream while, his craft sweeps blindly on down among the rocks. We need stersmen today, not re sisters. We need men who Jook for ward, not buck The men of today are the very Wilsons and La Follettes who, to Tail's mind, mean only dis aster. There is nothing local about these modern types; they are spring ing up the world around. Even La Felletto is a very mild reformer in deed besrde the Pritish Lloyd-George. The rulers of tomorrow are certain to be the very "people," the very "rabble" nnd "mob" that so disturb Tai't in his husiness of dealing in a dignified manner with recognized and imposing officials -and judges and "leaders" .And the 'will of the peo ple" that is inevitably to prevail is th- will, not at all of a few ancient gen tlemen In knee-breeches, nut of the living, struggling, hoping human be ir.srs of today and tomorrow.

Johhny, pearched on the edge of a big chair, became .restless as savory odors came from the region of the kitchen. At last he blurted out: "There's lots of pie and cake In this house." The admonishing face of his moth er recalled his promise and he added: "But what's that to me." From Success Magazine. WIIEX YOl' KE KISING HIGH.
