Eplcer, Enterprise, Oregon, or leav
word at News Record office. 6 if
Up to a week or so ago, the pres
idential campaign was a dull am
spiritless thing. Nobody took an) ,
Interest except the candidates ant
their managers. Politics was dead.
Now the whole country is sittlni
up and taking notice. The first anc
most of the other pages of the news
papers teem with political news.
Editorials yards long are eagerl)
read. Not only the candidates bu
a host of other speakers are scur
rylng up and down and across the
country, each making from one to t
dozen speeches a day to big crowds.
Politics all at once Is very much
alive.
And what caused the change?
What Is politics and what is it thai
galvanizes politics Into life?
.Has any Issue of principle or gov-
ernmental policy come up In the
last fortnight? Not that a carefu
reading of the big papers, East
or West, can dliclose.
The only " thins different notlcet
is that certain charges of black-
mall, graft and connection with
criminal concerns by big politicians
have been made and enough proof
submitted to convince public opinion
at least, that Senator Foraker Is
modern Benedict Arnold and tha:
Governor Haskell has been In the
pay of the same criminal concern for
a number of years. ,
Senator Foraker Is a Republicar
and Governor Haskell Is a Democrat
so It Is a standoff between tht
parties. Taft, however, has had nc
Intimacy with Foraker In fact op
posed him In Ohio state politics-
while Haskell Is a close - friend o
Bryan s, and was treasurer of the
national Democratic committee, un
til his resignation a few days ago,
after the exposures. On the othei
hand, one DuPont, head of the pow
der trust now being prosecuted b)
the government, Is manager of tht
Republican speakers' bureau.
Foraker and Haskell are chargec
with receiving money from tht
Standard Oil company for "services"
while holding public office. That
all. For only doing what the Amer
lean people have been winking at in
hundreds of public officials for many
years. And the whole country Is
torn up about It. How ridiculous
What a great and ennobling thing
politics Is!
The beginning of corruption It
public service is as ancient as his
toric government. it8 grt in. this
country antedate 1 the Revolution.
But for present day purposes the
probe need go no deaper than the
splendid awakening of the publU
conscience of America by Theodore
Roosevelt as to the crime of graft
In government ofilclals. To Roose
velt must ever be given the tnajoi
part of the credit for the hue and
outcry during the last six or elgh:
years about the rascals In high
places.
But to Roosevelt must also be laid
the blame for their Immunity from
punishment. Whea he raised his
hand and stayed the criminal prose
cution of Paul Morton, every big
thief knew lie was tafe from that
day and they have gone on plunder
ing, law defying, legislator buying
ever since. The worst that could
happen would be a fine, which they
wouldn't have to pay as long ns there
were higher courts to which to ap
peal, and If by some mischance an
honest bench, they could recoup by
stealing the fine back from the peo
ple.
So Paul Morton, lawn tennis and
rebate expert, Is now drawing $100,
000 a year as president of a business-robbing
sometimes called life
insurance company In New York in
stead of doing time in a penitentiary
as he should. And Jim Hill and J.
P. Morgan are having a bully time
with Wall Street lambs, instead ol
being under indictment or sentence
for their connection with the Norths
ern Securities holdup, as the Su
preme Court of the United States
intimated they should. And the
Standard Oil ma-niates. Rockefeller,
Rogers, Archbola et al, are laugh
ing in thsir slaves at the $29,000,'
OK) fine, instead of keeping Paul
lorton company on a rock pile.
Poor old Andy Johnson was tried
'or the high crime of attempting re
construction in the Abraham Lin
coln way Instead of the Thad Ste
vens way. Aud lie was mighty near
convicted. If what Johnson did
vas a crime, wnat snau we can
.vhat Foraker has done? And why
hould he be not prosecuted for his
rimes and If found guilty, given the
everest punishment of the law?
Of course no penal punishment will
e inflicted on Foraker, yet honest
jeople should not despair. Progress
being made. Nearly . everybody
ecognlzes that the acts of rich vlo-
ators of law and sellers of public
nervice . are cnu es. The next step
will be to provide and enforce ade
quate punishment.
If we are Inclined to be pessimis-
ic because the events of the last
two weeks seem to Indicate that the
snllvenlng of politics Is only catch-
ng politicians with stolen goods lr
their possession, we should cheer
jp by remembering publicity alwayt
precedes punishment. Maybe It will
result at this election, more probably
at the next, In putting men In office
Who will make and enforce penal
laws against thieves In high as well
as low place3.

COURSE OF STUDY FOR
SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS
J. Adam Bede, the eloquent ant
witty congressman from the Duluth,
Minn., district, was overwhelming!)
defeated for renomlnatlon in tht
primary. The fight was on his rec
ord as a Cannon man. He says Can
non was running In his district no;
Bede. Continuing Bede said: "Well,
they've got me and It's me for the
farm and my little country paper. I
don't care to discuss Joe Cannon.
He has troubles of his own. Maj
God have nvrcy on his soul." And
Joe Cannon needs all the help he
can get from every source, for no.
only the labor unions and the M. E.
church are working against him, bu
Christian people of all denomina
tions, and all decent people wtu
don't belong to a church are work
ing and praying for his overthrow.
There's a majority of 12,000 to over
come, but hopea of victory are strong.
If Can nc n had been retired to private
life two years ago, Taft's chances the
coming November would be much
brighter.
All the Washington papers tha
come to the News Record's exchange
table say the first primary In tha
state was a success in registering
the will of the people. That's wha
the primary is for, and that's tht
reason for whatever opposition there
is to It. Certain papers think tha
only the will of political bosse.'
should obtain, and when the hossei
are disgruntled at the result of a pri
mary, the primary Is a failure. Tht
truth is that the bosses are failures.
This does not apply to real lead
ers In thought and principles, but to
those who attempt to drive publli
opinion, or to nullify it by political
chicanery In conventions and legislatures.
To the Sunday School Workers o.
Wauowa County: Since the meeting
of the convention at Wallowa In
tue summer much valuable time hat
passed un-used in teacher-training.
The elected superintendent could
not visit all the Sunday schools h.
the county and had not the list oi
text books until very recently
Hence the delay on his part.
Let me say a word to superlnten
dents, pastors, and teachers: Nt
real attainment can be made in the
training school without your hearty
co-operation. The superintendent can
make suggestions, but can't put them
Into effect. A leader Is useless
without a constituent following. Let
us make Wallowa county the bannei
Sunday school county In Oregon.
1. By each pastor stimulating the
teacher-training work in his church.
If the superintendent does not take
the work in hand let the pastor dc
so. Gather your teachers into a
class and see taat text books an
secured and a leader appointed.
2. Let superintendent and teach
ers enlist all the promising students
whom they can enlist In this work. !
Let them know there Is such a work,
that it is lmpo.-tant, profitable and
interesting.
3. Let those who can not attend
a class meeting procure the text
books and enroll with the state asso
ciationor If theyprefer, with a de
nomination which gives a course ci
training and diplomas, aud take the
course In the nome. Anyone can
take the course. Anyone can secure
