This paper will be I ootinned until all arrearages are pailrfN-V . WHO WILL IT BE? There is little doubt Bryan will . be the nominee of his party for the presidency. There i scant evidence that he is any better fit ted for the duties of that high office than he was when last the people . refused to elevate him to it. He has acquired some greater stock of wisdom, to be sure, but it is mainly of a partisan sort. It is not definitely known if he has changed his views on any of the great questions of the day. In deed, since his party friends claim he is the original discoverer of those principles and policies we describe as Rooseveltism, he is in better accord with his party than heretofore, becaiise his par ty, having no distinctive princi ples is forced to look, either di rectly or indirectly, to the Repub lican party for principles, espe cially for campaign purposes Bryan is, therefore, the most available man the democracy can nominate. Taft, from several reason's, just now appears to lead the Republi can aspirants for the party's nomination. Possibly he may receive it, and if he does will be elected ; but it is possible, we be lieve quite probable he will not be the convention's choice. It is propable other candidates before the convention will hold enough votes to force Taft to the wall. With Taft out of the way the contest will beeome fierce among the weaker candidates. They may destroy one another but each will fail to gain the nomina tion for himself. It is at this juncture the "dark horse' is brought out. It is not improba ble that this is just what will occur in the .next National Con vention of the republican party. The interesting question then is: who is most likely to be the dark horse? jTn other words : who will be the ultimate choice of the convention? Many well informed men be lieve it will be Roosevelt himself. It is true that the opposition to him is of such a character and comes from such a source as makes it seem imperative he should accept the nomination. Besides this it is supposed his own native pugnacity will lead him to accept the nomination -We cannot accept this view. The President is an astute politi cian. He doubtless foresaw all the conditions that may arise in the convention when he declared and reiterated his purpose that ' under no conditions" will he ac cept a renomination. Under tinnn C . . L ! T" 1 . is the dark horse he is very much darker than any which has ever been brought before a Republi can convention. "The finger of Desti-y" ap pears to point to Governor Hughes of New York as the "dark horse' that will be given the nomination. No abler, more fearless and CDol-headed man than he can be found. HisVhole life, both private and public, proves him to be highly intelli gent, wisely self-reliant and of tbat fine cast, of mind to weigh matters .accurately and to decide them on lines of truth, right and justice. His absolute integrity is unquestioned ; his ability is greater than Taft's, and in some respects greater than the Presi dent's. He hanever been iden tified with any' clique or faction . and is unusually strong wi:h the masses. Should Knox imitate the course pursued by Simon Cameron in , law it is more cnan proDaDie mac 1 Hughes .will be nominated." - Cameron," with the solid Penn sylvania delegation could not gain the nomination for himself, but he could and did prevent the nomination of Seward and bring about that of Lincoln. 1 OZrt K 1 1 1 ,1 . Steamer Francis H. Leggett, Thanksgiving turkey has been carved to a finish. Now for the Christmas holidays. Seaside at tractions without precedent are awaiting the usual visitors from neighboring towns and students from the Oregon Agricultural College are taking advantage of the attractions offered daring the holidays. Rod, gun, field glasses and camera will replace the count ing desk, school book, and labor in general for a fortnight. A big time is assured all who go to this popular resort. THE COKE-JBURNERS. The Independent coke-burners in the district of western Penn sylvania have determined to em ploy hone but American laborers and to pay them higher "wages than the foreigners have been re ceiving. For many years the labor of producing coke has been perform ed chiefly by foreigners, both men and women being employed. The Slavs are most numerous. The men mine the coal and the women "charge," or fill the ovens, and draw or remove the coke. When the coke 'is re moved from the ovens it is at a glowing heat and is cooled to a safe temperature by the applica tion of water through hose ; it is then "forked" on to iron wheel barrow's and loaded on cars for shipment or piled up in the stock pile to be placed on the cars when required for shipment. Much of this labor in all the several stages is dene by Slavonic women. It is hot, dirty and heavy work, especially exhaust ing even to strong men during the heat of summer. These women, however, do not shrink from it. They are of huge, coarse frame and immense mus cular strength. They may be seen, especially in the summer months, clad only with a scant woolen skirt and heavy, hobnailed shoes engaged at their laborious work. They speak their native language, though have fluent use of English, "swear words," drmk heavily of the vilest whiskey and fight to knock out John L. among themselves and with their men. They are coarse, immoral, bru tish and filthy, and give forcible definition to the term "human cattle." Their men need no de scription. These are the creatures the coke-makers will " replace with 'American laborers. It is a change long due.' Their presence is detrimental to all the best interests of the state and their employment at any wage scale is a hideous crime to Amer ican labor. They have dominated, by sheer force of numbers, many of the local labor unions and forced the most untoward and objectionable conditions upon clean, honest, self-respecting American labor. In their native countries they produce nothing which isbrought into competition with the prod ucts of American labor. . They are not in competition with our unskilled labor until brought here and put to work. By our system of tariffs we seek-to protect our skilled labor ers, but we fail to protect our common laborers because we have; placed the lowest.. class of Euro- pean labor as we-doaw materU als, on the free list. A protective : tariff should now be applied to' immigration. j Which Brought The O. A. C. Yuquina, May 30th, 1907T AN INVOCATION. Let me do my duty each day, and if the darkened hours of de spair overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comfort ed me in other times. May I still remember the bright hours that found, me walking over the silent hills of, my childhood, or dream ing bn: the margin of the quiet river, when a light glowed within me and I promised' my early God to have courage amidst the tem pest, of changing years. Spare me from bitterness and the sharp, passions of unguarded moments.' May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world know me not may my thoughts and actions be such, as to keep me friendly with myself, lift, my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I con demn myself. Let me not follow : the clamor of the world, but walk J calmly in my path. Give me a few friends who love me for I what I am, and keep ever burn : i : i r 1- j. ,uA kindly light of hope, and, though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not in sight of the castles of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life and for .time's older memories that are good and sweet, and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still. Ex. HAWLEY AND FULTON. The Oregonian News Bureau says Senator Fulton and Repre sentative Hawley are jointly in terested in securing an appropri ation from Congress to purchase the canal and locks at Oregon City, and both have introduced bills for this purpose. The fact that the State Legislature appro priated $300,000 towards this ob ject will be of material help , to the Oregon men for they will need only an equal amount to make up a fund sufficient to" take over the artificial waterway, which now collects toll on every vessel passing up and down the Willamette. Whether any appro priation can be secured this ses sion depends entirelyupon wheth er or not there is a river and har bor bill. Appropriations of this nature are authorized only in gen eral river and harbor "bills V never by special acts of Congress." - The indications are that there will be no river and harbor bill this session, and as yet Congress has not adopted the policy advo cated by the National River; and IJarbors Congress of making a regular appropriation every year. Tne old policy is of appropriating every two years. The last river and harbor bill appropriated or authorized the expenditure of ap proximately $80,000,000, or at the rate of $40,000,000 a year. With that amount available for the coming year, it is doubtful if Congress would be willing to give an additional $50 000,000, espe cially as election is approaching and the tendency is' to hold down all appropriations. Then, too, there will be heavy pressure this winter for a general public-build ing bill, which will likely carry $40,000,000 or $50,000,000, and Congress never passes a public building bill and river and harbor bill in the same session. . - The Willamette-locks prapqs:-J tion is ia such shape as to appeal ' j Annual Excursion Over From to . Congress, for it is an excep tional instance, in which the state has met the General Government half way and offered to bear half the expense. In late years the house committee , has ' favored protects of this type, and the i tendency is to put such prcjects ahead of those where the entire expense falls . on ' the Federal Treasury. 7" - Additional Local.
