Some few issues ago the Ga zette voiced a sentiment favor able to .President Koosevelt as his own successor m lyuis. W hen first mentioned . by this paper very little attention , had been jiven by the large papers of the country to the discussion of this anatter, although they had been snaking; various and sundry ef forts to select timber suitable for the . presidency when President "Roosevelt retired. During the last week or more we notice that the metropolitan papers of the East and West are commenting on the possibility of Boosevelt accepting another term as the chief man of the nation. It is a fact most satisfactory ; to chronicle that in the discussion being waged at present there is tiowhere visable any objection to President Roosevelt. The mat ter seems to hinge wholly on "whether he will or will not ac cept , '.' Some of the papers state em jshatically that Teddy will not under any circumstances -accept another term as president ; be cause he said last November that he would not. ' They argue that the president means what he says. Well and good; true, he aneans what he says, but he is no fool and might change his mind, -as many a wise man before him "has done.- "' : '. ' '.. We have strong faith in the loyalty and love of country in president Roosevelt. ; If condi tions were such that in his mind there existed a great need of his service to his country,Jand the people demanded it, we believe he would serve again. The pres ent administration is certainly proving one of general . purifica tion in all ways. Trusts, corpor- ations, and combines are toeing the mark more than they were :and this is mainly due to the in dividual effort of our : strenuous president ' But. of all things that Presi--dent Roosevelt will have to his credit, the one great thing that "will mark him in. history, is "his -connection with : the Panama canal building. - To carry such a gigantic task to completion has been the dream of .many great aneri and ' many have already proved their inability to cope with "4he matter. ; '. : ;'; , ' s. ; ' The president is greatly in ear- , mest in the matter of canal, . but cannot hope to see it anywhere mear completion during his pres- ieht term. He recently dissolved a commission of his own ereation and has chosen another.""" In so doing he cast no stigma upon any anember of the commission just quietly stated that the commis isionwas not satisfactory. - That "was enough. If there was blame, 3ie took It. In this he had the .courage to face "the truth and un do that which he had previously -done. ' If he faces the truth and cour ageously accepts a mistake in an instance of this character may we not figure that he would, in order to complete the canal and satisfy a large majority of 80,- "000,000 people, reconsider what he said about never again ac cepting the presidency? Of course he would reconsider; of course under these conditions lie would -accent otherwise we do not read -A11UX CUlgllb. I REALLY GREAT! The Educations! Exhibit of Ben ton County School Children Goes to the Fair. During last Saturday and yes terday the large show windows of the establishments of R. 1 H. Hssioa -and H. Harris were ablaze with the educationl ex hibit of ibe school , children of Benton county. xThe exh bit is destined for the Lewis and Clark Fair and Supt. penman will ship it to Portland today. J ,. That ... the children -' of our schools have succeeded far be- lyond expectations, will not be fortunate as to see their work on display. . How mere children could do some of the things that have been exhibited is tocj much for us, and yet it was in evidence in great quantities from various parts of the county and all bona fide. There is exhibited in much of the work contributed evidences of rare skill. Many items of the exhibit are the result of rare talent, and there are many parents in this county who have children for whom they should make every , effort, in order to develop the gifts of nature to their offspring. Some of the work done denot ed nothing short of genius. For instance, there were in the col lection one or two maps that looked as though they had come from the hands of a firs t-class engraver. If printed they could not have been more perfect. An other . map that attracted great attention was of a patch-work bedspread, laboriously ; worked into a map of Oregon. Each county is plainly showed and eacn in dinerent color as many colors ad pieces as "Joseph's coat." This quilt would rejsice the heart of a "webfoot" on frosty night. .? There are all kinds of . "busy work' ' for little "tots" : in the collection and nearly all schools of the county are represented in this class of educational effort, Some of the work is really amusing and the more you gaze at it the funnier it becomes. In one's mind you fancy you see some "little shaver" at the task set him, working away as though his very existence depended up on it, his face wrinkled into seriousness befitting a statesman. There is some relief ma p work of every country of the globe in evidence and it is fine, very fine. It will not be equalled at the Fair, much less excelled, is our guess. , On these maps are show ed all the mountains, lakes, rivers and valleys of the country pictured. : ; - ' : -l- , :lr .;; Other maps are drawn shoyf ing the , products of every sec tion, the grain - and fruit belts, the animals and regions they in habit, mineral districts,' in fact there seems to be nothing omit ted, f One or two schools have sent in collections : of Benton county woods. There are various shap ed little blocks of wood, nicely ponsnea, ana laDeiea in sucn a manner as to be4 readily under stood.1: ;;";' 7 :;r'-;-;V:--. All fogether it is a really great exhibit of what our school chil dren can do. The many, many anxious . and weary hours the little fellows have labored to bring this about for the glory of Benton should be an object lesson to many older, people. These children are to ; be men and women in a few brief . years and they , will fall heir to the present responsib'lities of their fathers and mothers ; cares and trouble will T be : their . inheritance in a large degree and they 'are now preparing for this time. Will they be prepared? Yes, in most cases they will work on to even better things than - their fathers and mothers knew, as they are enjoying better opportunity for preparation than had their par ents. Supt Denman, while he had a lot of patience-trying work to do in putting the exhibit in pre sentable shape, is very proud of it nevertheless. He' thinks it a winner so say we all.
