THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
The message is an able, carefully
prepared paper, but we believe that a
great many of the PresMeDt'g admirers
will lay It aside with a feeling of dis
appointment Conservative almost to
the point of expediency, It Is the
least vigorous document that has
yet come from the Boosevelt pen.
Compared with the daring and
resolute denunciation of existing
evils la the President's public
utterances in the past, the discussion
of questions of vital Importance In the
message are sadly lacking In purpose,
couratro and enertry. Especially Is
this true of the sections relating to the
tariff, currency, and control of corpo
rations, questions which Just now
overshadow all others In the minds of
the American people, and upon which
the opinion and recommendations of
the President were anxiously
awaited. The message is strangely
unlike Iloosevelt It is a message of
policy and conciliation, rather than
of aggression. It Is the campaign
speech of a politician, rather than the
message of a statesman. It Is not the
kind of message the American people
eipected or desired at this critical
period in the Nation's affairs.

In-
Kews of the sudden death of Judge
Arthur Frazer In Portland was re
ceded 'with great sorrow in Polk
county, where the Judge was born and
raised to early manhood. Oregon had
no more useful citizen, and his death
bas caused a vacancy that will be
bard to fill. As Judge of the Juvenile
Court In Portland, he was doiDg in
valuable work in saving the boys and
girls whose feet had strayed Into way
ward paths, and as Judge of the Cir
cuit Court he had proved himself able,
painstaking and conscientious. Ills
death will be mourned by all the peo
ple of Oregon.
I)t him who is inclined to tako
gloomy view of the outlook for busl
ness ponder well these facts: While
tho Un Ited States has only 5 per com
of the world's population, it produces
20 per cent of the world's wheat, 25 per
cent or Its gold, 33 percent of its coal
35 per cent of its manufactures, 3fl per
cent or Its silver, 40 per cent of its
Iron, 42 per cent of Its eUwl, 52 rr
cent of its petroleum, 55 per cent or its
copper, 70 per cent of Its cotton and 80
per cent of its corn.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It Is economical because it can bo quickly turned off wnen not needed

not needed to oave bother or lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month
