.LOOJTS POLITICS.
No man, na matter how hon
orable, if he attempted anything
of a public nature has experien
ced clear sailing in the accom
plishment of his purpose. Many
men, in fact many of our most
able public men have been killed
naliticauv because they were
great enough to insp:re fear in
the hearts of all classes of lesser
miri and the latter, acting upon
the impulse of their natures,
have combined against the nat
u a: leader and worked his des
tr ' n. It now sems possible
that such is the move against

there seems no doubt that the
. .ii uca wiunu his auth

motives. Those who raved
aa-ainst the president for his act
ion in thfs matter placed them
selves hflforf tiie people in the
light of actors in ."opera buffa,"
mo inucn serious attention did
they fail to attract. Roosevelt
has baen damned first for bting
too sympathetic with the negro

the race.
it looks somewhat as
thouyrh the straw which will be
used to break Roosevelt's back is
to b the Isthmian canal- Long
before the completion of this
canal Teddy will have ceased to
bo 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 oO superintend the work of
construction. But . the chances
are that owing to the machina
tions of little political wig-wags
lu vvill be obliged to remain a
silent spectator to a seige of re
tardation and stagnation.
Such a course at the isthmus
wo-lid rr.ake our people wild.
R;.:i ?evelt will have taken such a
pro ainent part in getting the
project under way that he will
be h iikd as the scapegoat upon
which to hang ail blame. And
tho chances are that he will have
to stand for a lot of censure as
he will not be in a positon to
help huviself. When 'he retires
f ro"i the presidency it seems it
woidd be wise to place him in
charge of allairs at Panama.
Afi-.-r onough failures and disappear--.meats
(his may ultimate
ly L.o iloiuv Roosevelt's "stren
uotisity" ii needed at the isth
mus. PLODDING.
The r.ian who plods is the man
who succeeds. The man who
follows a boaten path is the man
who ultimately roaches his des
tination safely and on time. The
plodin man may follow the
plow, h may run a clothing
store, a buther shop, a bank; he
may bo a doctor, a lawyer, a
pri:!- ir or a carponter, or he
may delve in sciences or mathe-
mii;oes; but if he plods he sue
ceeas. There are exceptions of
CD"""? to all rules, and occasion-!
ally a plodder fails, but oftener
than not he achieves the object
for which he struggles and his
efforts are fruitful of results.
The man who goes from job to
joo, who d;ps in here and drops
down there; who tries this and
dabbles in that, is usually the
an who calls the world a failure
and rails at a fate that 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 qu3t 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 animal is
driven by its master to its daily
task, but cheerfully, alertly, eyes
)jen for business, for opportun
ities! for advancement and self
unprovement, yet ever pbdding,
plodding, with no swerving to
rrht 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 cf
doubt and indecision.
Shippers' Convention.
Preparations lor the second
C3 M''iti-jn of Oregon Snippers
and Producers -are being carried
forth with much interest by tbe
Albany Commercial club, and it
seems certain that the meeting
will be successful, since all other
commercial bodies in the state
ire taking an active part in the
matter. The date has been set
for January ioth, sessions to be
held both in tbe afternoon and
evening. The Telegram says:
It is now planned to open the
convention with an address by
sume resident of Eugene, dealing
with the woik instituted at the
recent Willamette Valley conven
tion there. This address w ll be
made tithe: by Senator I. H.
Binghcrn or Senator R. A.
Booth.
An acceptance of the invita
tion to make oae of tne principal
addresses ot the convention has
"been received from J. N. Tea!,
of Portland, and Governor Cham
berldtiand Judge Stephen A.
Lowell, of Pendleton, are also ex
oect;d to be present. Other pro
bible speakers are J. O. Story,
of the St"ry-Breecher Lumber
Company of Portland; B. F.
Jones of Independence, represen
tative from Polk county and W.
M. Killingsworth of Portland.
All phases of the evils which
cor front 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 on Valley
traffic. The Oregon delegation
ia Congress will probably be
memorialized to work toward
that end.
"Holy Howlers" tfee Latest.
In Portland a frenzied mob
calling themselves members of
the "Pentecost Faith" but called
by the public "Holy Howlers,"
is carrying on at a rate that puts
the original Holy Roller orgies
in the shade. Whites and bla :ks,
men, women and children roll
about together on the floor receiv
ing what they call their "Pente
cost," and a nine year-old girl
has been hypustized into the in
sane belief that she is to be "the
bride of the Lord". A camp
laint has been filed and the child
is to appear in tbe 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 hnmility or dev-
outness. It is nothing but noise.
noise, noise, coupled with the
uust sicke i iOjj tucantHti.ius, dis
gusting grovriin in the dirt,
immoral conduct as between the
sexes, tt say nothing of the revol
ting mmner in which the col r
line is abraded."
All this in 'he nam; o' relig
ion! and the meetings have so for
been un molested y- tie poc?1.
The Telegram says of them: "It
is only too evident that their
meetings are rapidly drgeaerat
mg into spasms of ar-imal frenzv,
in which all approach to religions
rites is dissipated, and the who e
performance descends into wild
and dissolute revelry. The elect
become a passion-drunken mob,
uncontrolled, tinted and unrest
rained. The revival of Holy
Rollerism does not seem far distant."
