CI I KltR IXUTOX CRITIC 1 1.
Dallas, Oregon. Sept. 0, 1912.
Polk County Observer, Dallas, Or
egon. To the Editor: 1 want to thsnik
you for printing my letter of the 31st
of August and since you did not
criticise the punctuation which you
assure your readers you printed as
written, I guess you wore satislled
with that. I was a little surprised
that you took so much space in your
valuable columns to discuss me per
sonally and to describe me as a
"self-culled leader of the other six
Hullmoosers of Polk County." Have
you stopped to think, Mr. Editor,
that you have many readers whom
you class with "a conglomerate mass
of disappointed office seekers, repu
diated office holders, sorehead fte
publicans and backsliding Democrats
with a few politically honest men
scattered here and there" who are
actually honest In their opinions and
give others credit for being honest
even though lliey (liner iroin inern :
Of course, there arc many of them
who ore supporting Mr, Roosevelt
because, he advocates certain princi
ples. You say, notwithstanding; the
fact that Mr. Roosevelt hasn't a clean
thought in his mind, in your opinion,
that your paper would have support
ed him If the bosses in the Repub
lican convention at Chicago hud. told
you to. Aren't you glad that you are
not suffering from such a handicap
so that you can tell some of us who
read your paper what a monster
Roosevelt really is? It certainly
would have been awful to have to
suppress the facts that you glibly
wrote last week. About that Arch
bold matter, maybe J was hasty, but
T remembered that this same Arch
bold and the rest of his hunch gave
"testimony" to the effect that the
Standard Oil company was not guilty
of giving rebates a few years ago
nnd that it was proven to the satis
faction of the courts that they lied,
or that they did give rebates. Prob
ably It was priwumptious, but 1
thought I'd rather take sides with
Roosevelt even though Archhold
with his record for "sworn testi
mony" didn't (piite ugree.
You say that there- is nothing to
this third-term movement hut Roose
velt. ' Why don't you publish the
platform of the party and then shoot
It to pieces? You say that Roose
velt forced his candidacy on the peo
ple. 1 wonder what pressure was
brought to bear, in all the states
having presidential primaries, last
spring, to force the voters to give
an expression of confidence in The
odore Roosevelt and such a poor
vote for Mr. Taft. These same vot
ers will be voting in November and
I assure you there will he as many
as "six" in Polk county.
1 don't aspire to be a leader not
withstanding your would-be-funny
statement and your attempt to hold
no' up to ridicule by reference to
"Col. Cherrington" as a typical Pro
gressive. Didn't you attempt to be
nasty when you wrote that "The
observer Would have been surprised
had he adopted any other faith?"
Your readers are not interested In
what your paper thinks of Tom Cher
rington, they have known him for
twenty years longer than you have
In tact but they are Interested in a
fair discussion of the political issues
without dirty personalities.
I hope you will do me the favor of
publishing this poor atti nipt to meet
some of the words of your ready pen
and T assure you that I have the
most kindly feeling for you and your
opinions, though we don't agree.
Respectfully VOUI'H,
T. .1. ClIKRKINtiToX.
As Is usual in controversies of the
nature which .Mr. Cherrinnton seeks
to continue, the merits of tin- real
diseustdou are lost sight of In person
alltiiS. The observer's good friend.
In the above "reply" to our com
ments on his article of a week ago,
devotes practically all his communi
cation to himself. lint a "Progress
ive" has abundant precedent for that
position because bis lender makes a
specialty of it. Just why Mr. t'loi
nnnliui insists in classing himself
among the "soreheads" ami the
"backsliders" rather than the "few
politically honest men'' mentioned
as no minis of the Uooscvi It party,
is not clear.
Our critic is attempting to befoi;
the Issue. We believe that the lead
ers of the third term organization
are men who have alw ays been mal
contents in the old political parties

Cherrington again brings up that
w-ell-worn cry about the "bosses" at
the Chicago convention. He takes
his cue from his patron saint and in
timates that The Observer Is support
ing Taft because the "bosses" so di
rected. Ve gods and little fishes!
Was there ever a more shining ex
amnle of bossism than that exhibited
by the so-called "Progressive" party?
ft Is the home of the old He-Boss,
the greatest dictator that the United
States ever owned. It Is the home of
1)111 Klinn who says he holds the
vote of the Pennsylvania Republi
cans In his vest pocket. It is the
home of one ileney whom the de
frauded landowners of Oregon know
to their sorrow; of one Ormsby Mc
Harg, whose reputation and methods
are also well-known in Oregon, of
one Perkins, millionaire trust mag
nate and well-known "malefactor of
great wealth;" of dozens of other
Idg and little dictators who have lost
prestige in the old parties and joined
the new one In the hope of regaining
it.
Talk about bosses.
Why, the Progressive party
wouldn't be a party today without
them. When the farcical convention
of the insurgents met In Chicago, not
a delegate to that convention, knew
what the platform of their party was
to be. They didn't care. It didn't
make any difference to them whether
the platform would declare for the
annexation of Mexico, and the anni
hilation of Canada, the wiping out of
the Supreme Court, or ofllclal recog
nition of Sunday ball games. The
one and only reason for their pres
ence was the nomination of a man
for a third term as president who
had told the American people that,
under no circumstances, would he
again be a candidate. There never
was a more flagrant example of one-
man power. Jiisiory snows no inci
dent of such complete, overmaster
ing ownership. Here were a few
malcontents under the absolute dom
ination of one man, led by a halter
as he willed, ready to desert their old
political affiliations, and declare that
their former teachings were untrue,
forgetting political honor, overriding
established tradition, ready to go
anywhere, employ any methods, with
the one and only aim of following a
political demagogue such as this na
tion has not seen in recent years at
least. But Cherrington should not
delude himself with the idea that
that progressive convention nominat
ed Roosevelt. Oh, no. Roosevelt
nominated himself and called his
dupes together to ratify it. Bosses,
indeed. The Progressive party Is an
organization led by bosses who have
been repudiated and lost their power
In the Republican and Democratic
parties.
The Observer has been wondering
why Cherrington didn't spring that
old cry about the "theft of dele
gates" in his first article. It is the
stock and trade of all Rooseveltians.
lie finally grabbed at it, In the above
communication however, and recalls
the primaries of last spring. .The
Observer would like to inquire of
Cherrington, if Roosevelt didn't get
the votes from the states in which
the preferential primaries gave him
the delegates. Now, don't cite Wash
ington, Tom, for the few primaries
held there didn't reflect public opin
ion nnd you know it. Don't rant
about California because, had the
two votes which were cast for Mr.
Taft from California went the other
way, they wouldn't have been enough
to nominate the third-termer. Then,
Tom, how about the 2 00 other con
tests Instituted by your Incomparable
and "honest" leader which were ac
knowledged by Roosevelt and his co
horts to be entirely unfounded and
merely for "effect." Then, again,
Tom, didst ever stop to contemplate
that preference by Republicans for
other Republicans is one thing, nnd
following said preference far enough
to carry one out of the party In or
der to help the political ambition of
a disappointed office seeker, Is quite
another. In other words, Tommy,
don't make the mistake of believing
that all the men who voted for the
third-termer In the primaries are as
willing to forget their past political
principles as yourself. They admired
Roosevelt while he was a Republican
but when he becomes an outcast, and
seeks to wreck the organization
simply because it wouldn't nominate
him for president for a third term,
that's "something else again" as
Mawrus Peiiutler would say.
In proof of this position, Thomas,
your distinguished attention is called
lo the result of the recent "Pro
gressive" primaries in the state of
Washington, which has been declared
to be a safely ltooeveltian state. In
King county, with a voting popula
tion of something like 50,001), the
party cast about 0,000 votes. In
lloqiiiam, with a population of 14.
000. they cast 32 votes, and In Che
halis county, one of the active "pro
gressive" counties of Washington,
the best they could register was 179
votes!
tlreal record!
Stupendous sweep of sentiment to
ward the liullmoosers!
Study these ligures, Tom, and con
fer with C.eorge and the other live
KullmooHers. P.y my halidome thou
art welcome to any encouragement
it offirs.

"UMAN nature is the raw material for the Christian charac
ter. The spirit of Christ working in the human spirit is to
elevate the aims, ennoble the motives, intensify the affec
tions. This process is never complete. The Christian is always
but in the making,
In the same way human society is the raw material
for the Christian society. The spirit of Christ is to
hallow all the natural relations of men and give them
a divine significance and value. This process too is
never complete. The Kingdom of. God is always but
coming.

victory when they gained control of
the machinery and will prevent Taft
Republicans from voting for their
choice for presiiW nt in California and

about "overriding the will of the peo

about which n certain spectacular In
