THE KIND OF MAN.
' When Theodore Roosevelt was
nominated , by the republicans of
the nation for vice-president un
der President McKinley there
v as a doubt expressed in certain
circles regarding his fitness. This
doubt was not, as might be in
ferred," wholly confined to his
political opponents, but was shar
ed in a small "degree by a certain
class of republicans. " ': '
' The general idea of these doubt
ers of .Roosevelt's fitness for the
vice-presidency was based; on
what? they were pleased to term
his "impulsiveness." '"When he
, took up. any matter he generally
entered into it 'with heart and
and mind and , his enthusiasm
never abated an iota until that
thing Was ' accomplished satis-.
facto ?ily, too. - For this- healthy
and manly' enthusiasm he was
considered . -"too impulsive,", by
' many country statesmen; H
hen he appeared before the
convention that nominated him
he was" attired in his' "Rough
Rider" uniform. This was called
: ' 'grand stand",; on his part by
the ultra-conservative element
Ah, well ! ' Conditions change in
this world and opinions with
them- Tis a good thing, too
President M cKinley, kindly
man that he was, met death at
the hands of an , assassin , and
Theodore Roosevelt acceeded to
the presidency of this great peo
ple. For a time his every act
was noted and carefully studied,
but no weakness could be found
He was both able and honest and
in the course of a comparatively
short time had won the, confi-
dence of the people. . He meant
ii, and the people felt that he
meant it, when he said,
square deal for every man.'
How people thought of him
. was shown by. the election re
turns last fall- He was the pepr
pie's man; the choice ; of the
great majority of the citizens of
, this great nation, . The history
, of his" success at the polls last
November is yet' too young to
" need reiteration and his induc-
tion . into office,, is , still more rei
cent, but the last event is worthy
much thought and some mention,
"Honor him to whom honor
is
aue. " as aoove stated ner was
the people's choice at the polls
and the people, ' ' regardless of
class, clan, color or political faith.
vied with each other in making
his inaugural . .great before the
. eyes of aU Christendom- And
it was so. It' is declared
to
have been the first "national'
, inauguration since the civil war.
Fit for a king, they tell us Yea,
better. On all. of God's great
foot-stool there - is no king so
-'"great as must .be the choice of
Jtbe. American people.,, Our "first
.man.of the nation"; is made by
:the wisdom of a majority of
'"nearly 80,000,000 people. The
- average king is such by the acci
dent of birth. The one man
. "must" be "something," , the
: other "may" be "anything. "
LET IT BE A LESSON.
The recent trouble of the young
men who have, just been before
the jury charged with the theft
of some jewelry, should act as a
warning; to others., X No young
person, nor old one either for
that matter, can .afford to take
chances on" their ' Hberty. for any
amount of money. Life and liber
ty are the most ; precious; things
known to man and, it is beyond
;. belief . that they are reckoned ' so
' lightly-until too late- ' ' ;
' These boys should, and, in all
probability did, suffer mental
torture far in excess of the value
, of the jewelry in question. The
i pieces of jewelry not ' produced
would . not Tbegm to compensate
them,' provided they had retained
possession of it, for the agony of
mind that' haa. undoubtedly been
their portion. - Nor is this all.
TV irsVuarnT - rrnrA nQTMfl ic ?n if-
, ,o ... , . . ...
still is.it' to feel that you merit it.
. -
A young man may be .ever so
competent so far as clerical abilty
goes, ; but a bad name will damn
his chances of success. In the
case in question there is no de
sire to be severe on these young
men, but justice is for their good
as well as others and a strict
dealing out of justice is perhaps
best for all in the long run. Of
course there may be extenuating
circumstances, : but larceny is
generally pretty deliberate - - .
4 Let us hope that instead of
continuing in a way to bring dis
grace upon themselves and their
people and friends they will with
in, their own hearts pass- solemn
resolutions - to do better in the
future; and live up to these reso-
utions. Moreover, the case may
be productive, or good u it is
taken to heart - by . other young
men who are inclined to look too
ightly upon dealings a? trifle
shady. ... ,-:. '
Gone to Help Decide.
Sunt. Denman went to Salem,
Thursday moraine, 'to attend a
meeting -of the Department of
County Superintendents of Ore-
eon. Sapt. Denman is the sec
retary -oi the department which
meets to decide whether the Coun
ty superintendent pf the, valley
will dispense with , their annua
county institute the coming year,
and join together in having an
Educational Congress at the Fair
in August - If the annual coun
ty institutes are dispensed with,
a part of the countv institute
fund from each county' will be
used towards securing some of the
best educators from the East. ;
It is the intention of the com
mittee in charge, of the congress
to bring to Oregon at this ' time
the strongest men possible. Such
an educational congress would be
a treat to every teacher attending,
If such congress is held no teach
er is compelled to attend, i .The
schools do not have to close for the
three days allowed, for the annual
institute, and no fee will be. al
lowed at the ..October apportion
ment for certihcates'of attendance
at the annual institute. $-. : "
This being. Fair jrear, ..our
teachers, will Tvant, to attend, the
Fair anyway. They will be given
an- opportunity "while 'there to
combine ' profit B with "pleasure.
Every r teacher who -can should
attend, the; .congress. - It will
strengthen them, as well as being
a recreation. When SupL - Den
man 'returns further' announce
ment will be ' given by Ithe Ga
zette as to the plans and inten
tion as to holding the coming an
nual institute. . '
