John D. Rockefeller is home aerain from a tour of EuroDe. In an interview it would appear that "Sanctimonious John" is at a loss to understand why his coun trymen think ill of him. Now, in the matter of squeezing millions of dollars out of his fellowmen this old skinflint is not dense, but the natural sentiments and emotions of man are so foreign to his make-up that it is impos sible for him to comprehend them, and for this reason he can not see why the hearts of men are cold to him. But through it all this Shy lock, this human octopus, despite the railings of his home people, says that he loves the United States better than it would ever be possible for him to love Eu rope. This is not strange. In this land of the free ( ?) it has been possible for John to squeeze more money out of the people than he could hope to do in any other country. The United States makes it possible for the greedy scoundrel to force money from all classes. rich and poor, and naturally in the degree that he loves money he loves that land which makes it possible for him to acquire it Therefore, it is natural to expect that he should affect to forgive his detractors and assume a love for his mother land for money only. their undertaking to Roosevelt are completed, and until they are this gentleman will likely act as godfather for them. It is quite likely that Roosevelt will some day be president again. Probably he is wise ' enough to know that he can be elected at some future time. When he retires his successor will be lucky if his administration does not suffer in comparison with that of Roosevelt. People would talk of what Teddy did and what he would do, and four years of this would he all that would be neces sary to elect him president again. WILLIE GETS "NOMINA TED. " HOW WISE IS TEDDY? President Roosevelt has au thorized a statement that his message to the people on his election two years ago is and will continue to be in effect. The message referred to is his declar ation that under no circumstances would he be a presidential can didate in 1908. His latest state ments emphasize this. Teddy smashed all records when he, as a former vice-president, was elected to the presi dency of the United States, and his popularity with the mass of the people is as great today as it was two years ago. What will he do when he retires? He is too active, too full of life and stren uosity, to retire to a life of quietness. As he has already broken rec ords it is to be expected that he will continue to break them. It is said that no man who has been president of the United States has later been elected a senator. Yet it may be expected that he will establish a new rec ord after his present term of of fice expires by being chosen to represent his native state in the upper house of congress. There are so many public re forms in progress, together with public works of great magnitude, that owe their inception to Pres ident Roosevelt that it is but nat ural to assume that he will con tinue to be a great factor in pub lic affairs for many years to come. It will be a long time be fore the public works which owe Failing by a vote of four to one to capture the New York dem ocratic state committee, little Willie Randolph Hearst had him self nominated" as an indeDen dent candidate for " governor bv the "plain people." In this in stance the "plain people" con sisted of a few of Willie's paid leutenants, headed by a hireling named Ihmsen, who met in a ittle hallroom in the Gilsev house and eulosrized their master in meaningless or misleading phrases. Such a bunch desig nating themselves as the "d lain people" is as ridiculous as the amous three tailors of Tooley street who began their petition with the words, "We, the people of England." It is indeed surprising that Hearst has succeeded in attract ing the slightest attention as a probable presidential candidate. A small-bore politician, sadlv de hcient in every quality lound in a wise leader of men. he has used the fortune left him by his father to hire brainy writers to sound his praises and political "soldiers of fortune" to beat the tom-toms when he pulled the string. It is true that he was elected to con gress from a New York district. but it was a Tammany district. and a Happy Hooligan wearing the collar of that unsavorv or gahization could have been elect ed at that time with hands down. His only claim to political strength is m the support of the radical element of union labor men, and in trying to drag labor oreraniza tions into politics he proves, to the minds of the ablest thinkers on the subject, that he is doing labor more harhi than good. Their Meeting Ended. After a very successful season. the New Era Camp closed July! 2g, lor 190b. Harrison D. Bar rett, President ot the National Spiritualist Association was the main speaker.

Duniway ot Portland gave an excellent address. Mrs. Ladd-Finnican, Mrs. Lapworth ana Airs. TMoyes were message bearers all doing good work. The music under the direction ot Mr, Love was uplifting and inspiring. Recitations of a high order were frequently given from the platform, and the mornino conference was always interest ing.
