LOOKS LIKE POLITICS.
man, no matter how hon
or tblj, if he attempted anything
of a public nature has experien
ced clear sailing in the accom
plishment of his purpose. Many
man, in fact many of our most
able public men have been killed
politically because they were
prsat enough to inspire fear in
the hearts of all classes of lesser
m i and the latter, acting upon
th- impulse of their natures,
have combined against the nat-
u .ader and worked his des
tr m. It now sems possible
that such is the move against
President Foosevelt.
. ... i- reac icixing-up over
t'-ia discharge of soma colored
t -op3 appears in the light of
p ,-rit politic and nothing
more. An-1 wo have saen the at
tempt of certain public men to
use the incident to mould a sen
t in, antagonistic to Roosevelt.
S '.:r as the occurrences of
B -aviiifj Tpxr.s. nrp cr-cern-ed
there seems no doubt that the
P , .juUjj wiinm his auth
ority and also from excellent
rov.ies. Those who raved
a - M-ist the president for his act
ion in this matter placed them
p before the people in the
Ife-hl of actors in ."opera buffa,''
:- -.den beiious attention did
th ?y fail to attract. Roosevelt
h been damned first for being
too sympathetic with the negrc
n ; oraia for ill-treatm2nt of
the race.
JKu it looks somewhat as
. though the straw which will be
u ed to break Roosevelt's back is
t:hethe Isthmian canal- Long
before the completion of this
canal Teddy will have ceased to
ha president. He will have been
instrumental in starting one of
the greatest public works ever
undertaken and the pity is that
he could not be retained in some
position such as would enable
him to superintend the work of
construction. But the chances
are that' owing to the machina
tions of little political wig-wags
ha will be obliged to remain a
silent spectator to a seige of re
tardation and stagnation.
Such a course at the isthmus
would rrake our people wild.
Ruosevelfc will have taken such a
prominent part in getting the
project under way that he will
be h lile 1 as the scapegoat upon
which to hang ail blame. And
the chances are that he will have
to stand for a lot of censure as
he will not be in a posit'on to
help himself. When Ihe retires
from the presidency it seems it
would be wise to place him in
charge of ailairs at Panama.
Ai' or enough failures and dis
appointments this may ultimate
ly ha dona. Roosevelt's "stren
uousity" is needed at the isth
mus. PLODDING.
The man who plods is the man
who succeeds. The man who
follows a beaten path is the man
who ultimately reaches his des
tination saf ely and on time. The
pLvtJing man may follow the
plo.v, ha may run a clothing
store, a bather shop, a bank; he
may be a doctor, a lawyer, a
prince? or a carpenter, or he
may delve in sciences or mathe
mitices; but if he plods he suc
ceeds. There are exceptions of
cor te to all rules, and occasion-!
ally a plodder fails, but oftener
than not he achieves the object
for 'hich he struggles and his
efforts are fruitful of results.
The man who goes from job to
job, who d:ps in here and drops
down there; who tries this and
dabbles in that, is usually the
an who caiLstne world a failure
and rails at a fate tnat is nothing
more nor less than results due to
lack of concentrated effort. ,
Many a young man and young
woman : misses the richest , and
best opportunities: of .life by ig
noring the thing at hand and set
ting forth in que3t of the possi
ble "something, somewhere,"
which shall bring them wealth,
position and influence by a quick-arid-easy
method unexplainable
even to themselves. Let a young
man or woman choose carefully
some one thing which they de
sire to do; one line of work that
is congenial and in which they
have more than passing interest,
and then let them plod. Day" in
and day out, from month's end
to month's end, year by year, let
them plod, plod, plod. Not
mechanically, not as an nimal is
driven by its master to its daily
task, but cheerfully, alertly, eyes
pen lor business, for opportun
ities, for advancement and self
Ynprovement, yet ever plodding,
clodding, with no swerving to
ght or left, no losing . sight of
the original idea. And some
bright morning that young per
son will awaken to a realization
that the destination has been
reached, that the victory is won
and that success, pleasant and
full of buoyant promise, perches
upon the banner that has been so
courageously held aloof, high
above the shifting . winds of
doubt and indecision.
Shippsrs' Convention.
Preparations
tor the second
CJivc'ition of Oregon Shippers
and Producers are being carried
forth with much interest by the
Albany Commercial club, aud it
seems certain that the meeting
will be successful, since all other
commercial bodies in the state
are taking an active part in the
ma'ti-r. The date has teen set
for January ioth, sessions to be
held both in the afternoon and
evcuiug. The Telegram says:
It is now planned to open the
convention with an address by
some resident of Eugene, dealing
with the work instituted at the
recent Willamette Valley conven
tion. there. This address wll be
made citii'e: by Senator I. H.
Binghom or Senator R. A.
Booth.
An acceptance of the invita
tion to make oae of t'ae principal
addresses ot the convention has
been received from J. N. Teal,
of Portland, and Governor Cham-,
herl iwi and Judge Stephen A..
Lowell, of Pendleton, are also ex
pected to be present: Other pro
bable speakers are J. O. Story,
of the Stry-Breecner Lumber
Company of Portland; B. F.
Jones of Independence, represen
cative from Polk county and W.
M. Kiliingsworth of Portland.
All phases of the evils which
confront the Oregon shipper and
producer are to be consideied.
Among other things it is planned
to take up the question of an
open river from Portland to Eu
gene, thus providing opposition
to the Southern Pacific ou Valley
traffic. The Oreon delegation
in Congress will probably be
memorialized to work toward
that end.
"Holy Howlers" tue Latest.
In Portland a frenzied mob
calling themselves members. of
the "Pentecost Faith" but called
by the public MHo!y Howlers,'.'
is carrying on at a rate that puts
the original Holy Roller orgies
in the shade. Whites and blanks,
men, women and children roll
about together on the floor leceiv
ing what they call their "Pente
cost," and a nine year-old girl
has been hypustized iuto the iri-
rane belief that she is to be "the
bride of the Lord".. A camp
laint has been filed and the child
is to appear in the Juvenile Court,
where the mother will be com
pelled to give an account of why
she has allowed the little girl to
b present at such a place and
participate in such revolting prac
tices. Young girls are being
drawn into the orgies of the sect,
waich are described in the Port
land papers in this language:
'No effort is made to keep up
a semblance of humility or dev
ontness. It is nothing- but noise.
noise, noise, coupled with the
-iiust Mcke.no incantations, dis
gusting grovlin in the dirt,
immoral conduct as between the
sexes, t- say nothing of the revol
ting .manner in which" the col a
line is abraded." ' :
1 All this :n the name o1 relig
ion! and the meetings have so far
been unmolested by the police.
The Telegram says of them: "It
is only too evident that their
meetings are rapidly d?gearat
ing into spasms of animal fienzv,
in which all approach to religious
rites is dissipated,' and the whole
performance descends into wild
and dissolute revelry." .The elect
become a passion-drunken mob,
uncontrolled, unled and unrest
rained. The revival of Holy
Rollerism does not seem far distant."
