The country never passed through a political campaign in which ptoplt showed so little concern as marks the present one. Even in the states where the par ties are most active popular en thusiasm is not greatly in evi dence. This condition has been as cribed to Several causes. . Some assert that the people have already determined what party ibey will support and are quietly awaiting the 8th of November when thev may express their choice at the polls. Others be lieve, it is because the people are so well satisfied with the present administration of national affairs and so confident that there will no change from present policies they find no reason tor discussing any change of party and party purposes. 1 1 Yet others deciare we are so absorbed in monev-eettine, so uermeated with a low. mean, selfish spirit of commercialism that we are dead to all sense of onr civic duties. It is probable that all of these things contribute mere or less to the seeming apathy shown so far In the campaign. There can be so doubt that thousands of voters !have decided which candidate they shall support The press, aided by the telegraph, the fast train and rural mail delivery dis cusses very political principle and policy involved in the cam mign and conducts the discus sion at every man's fireside. Much or tb,e old-time concourse and noise and emotional effer vescence, which is usually named enthusiasm, aie displaced by uiet earnestness. Doubtless the mass of plain-every-day people are satisfied with the. conduct of affairs, see -no real issue at stake, desire and fear no change of policy and ad ministration. They may appear lobe apathetic but there is no evidence that, when the oppor tnnitv comes, they will fail to record at the polls their satisfac tion with existing conditions. While it may be admitted that onr industrial and commercial porsuits and the quest for "the almighty dollar" are well nigh all absorbing, and that a large and increasing number of men appear to have forgotten their civic duties as American citizens, it is not yet true, and we fondly hope it never shall be true, that the mass of American freemen have become so steeped in mere mercenary commercialism as to neglect the sacred duties of citi aenship. We firmly believe that our peo ple are well satisfied with the splendid results achieved tnrough Republican principles and poli cies; that they have unbounded confidence in the courage, hon esty, fidelity, wisdom and rugged American ideals of Theodore Roosevelt, and that they will give the policies of the party and his administration of the govern ment the approval of such an overwhelming majority as no president within forty years has leceived. THE PANAMA CANAL. The delay which has occurred ia the construction oi this canal lias, after all been fortunate. The French company would have made it but 30 feet deep. The increasing size and draft of freight carrying vessels caused the American engineers to base ! their surveys and estimates on a depth of 35 feet. Already the Canal Commission has found that because of improved and more powerful machinery and more efficient American administra tion the canal can be made 40 Sect deep for about the cost estimated for a depth ot 35' feet ; so it is thought ' it may be built to a depth ot 40 feet, which is the depth the "Narrows" entrance to New York harbor is ' being cut. The Commission is working tentatively at the Culebra,cut, which is the deepest on the line. and keening an accurate record of the cost This will enable the Commission to prosecute, the whole work intelligently and economically, or will furnish re liable data for letting contracts if it is decided to do any part of the work by contract. It is evident- so far. the Cora- mission has proceeded cautiously and wisely in its preliminary work, much of . which looks to the improvement of the sanitary conditions which usually prevail in low-lying tropical regions. It is thought that these can be so improved that white laborers can live and work without any extra ordinary danger from climatic in fluences. ' It should not be surprising if American genius and energy practically completed this work within five years. The president is unquestionably in earnest about this work. His prompt recognition of Panama was just and right and also made neces sary by our interest on the isth mus. There is not the shadow of doubt that had not the presi dent taken the prompt and de cisive action he did conditions would have sprung up which would have delayed the building ot the canal for years, possibly, have defeated the whole project. In face oi this no act of his ad ministration has been so grossly and maliglantly misrepresented as this. We shall not say that Demo crats do not desire the construc tion ot this canal, for we do not believe so; but we do think that the misrepresentation indulged by the Democratic press, leaders and candidates gives just reason to fear that it is inspired by those great corporate' interests which have so bitterly and determindly opposed the work through all the years. JUDGE WHITNEY'S EXPERIENCE. One of Albany's Most Prominent Citizens Cured of Deafness by Dr. Darrin.

W.- Lsxam I - - ' Many of the " country school houses in Benton countv need re pairing before the rainy weather sets in. There is a broken step which needs fixing, upon which some boy or girl may be injured; there are broken window panes that need replacing, loose boards that should be nailed down and many other little things that add greatly to the comfort of both teacher and pupils, should be looked after. It is first of all necessary to see that all are both warm ana dry. nence tne neces sity of patching the leaky roof and filling the empty shed with good wood, ready for use. These little things go verv far toward making the teacher, cheerful and pupils who would otherwise hate the schoolroom are made to like it W ny it was done no one can tell, it turned out to be the work of hoodlums, but it frightesed several women out of their wits. It happened down near the old Hazeiwooa creamery, late one nignt last week. Tws men were apparently in angry altercation, a volley of pistol shots rang out on the still night air, then fol lowed the sound of horses hoofs and buggy wheels, indicating; frantic haste. One who heard it went out later to see what had been done, but all was still. It was only a joke, a cruel ghoulish joke. . While returning home late Monday evening, .Miles Starr met with an accident' that will lay him up for some time. When within a block oi his home, and while seated on his tricycle, a loose board caught in the wheels upsetting the vehicle and throw ing Miles out, spraining his right knee. Miles is in bed and will probably remain there for a few days. " . .,. . Two real estate transfers near Philomath were consummated last week by - Ambler & Watters.
