CAN HE COMEBACK?
Last week, as regarding presi
dential aspirations, Ex-president
Roosevelt remarked that
his hat was in the ring, and now
that he has given out his con
elusion to make the race for
nomination and election, he is
in the ring with his old beaver.
Roosevelt, in retiring chose
his successor and Taft swung
into place, but the two-term
custom has held sway so long
that those elected to the execu
tive chair of the nation are in
clined to look upon it as an in
heritance, and, hence, President
Taft is not ready to choose his
successor, neither to have other
parties choose one for him.
When Jeffries gave up the
championship, and afterwards
lusted for the coveted place, he
was unable to "come back," and
the cloud that is overshadowing
Taft's prospects is to become
effectual or dispelled by Roose
velt's ability to "come back" or
not to do so. Taft has the
government machinery behind
his boom and seemingly has the
advantage, but we presume that
the question of success will rest
on whom Wall Street smiles.
Roosevelt is making a fight
for that which has been ac
corded to no man, and while he
has a strong hold upon the
hearts of the people, yet, there
is a strong sentiment extant
among the citizens of this coun
try to the effect, that no man
shall hold that which George
Washington, the father of these
United States, would not accept.
Can he come back? Well,
that is the proposition that is
bothering our chief executive.
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER,
Below we give part of a speech
which was delivered at Pendle
ton, Oregon, but which is just
as applicable to other cities as it
is to Pendleton, except that
natural power is, perhaps, to be
had nearer to that city than it is
to many other places:
"Electric power endures, for
ever. Coal and wool are daily
growing scarcer and increasing
in price even horse power
grows more expensive with high
cost of feed. All kinds of fuel
and heat now in use except
electric fluid is sure to grow
more costly. But water gravi
tates toward the sea as cheaply
at one time as another, while
human ingenuity cheapens elec
tric production from year to
year."
Those things are worth think
ing about. We are not building
for today only but for the future.
The world will continue to whirL
along for many years yet and
Pendleton too will be here for a
long time unless something very
unexpected happens.

The chief criticism of, tho de
cree of dissolution in the Stand
ard Oil and Tobacco Trust cases
runs to the effect that those de
crees did not dissolve the com
binations in restraint of trade, at
which they were aimed. About
that there has been a groat deal
of argment pro and on. That
argument settles nothing as a
matter of course. It may serve
to illumine the situation in one
aspect and another, and in cer
tain respects it may lead to
worse confusion. But one of
the subsidiaries of the Standard
Oil Company and the Rocke
feller financial interests that
have been for years in control
of the gigtir.tie combination, got
into a family row at St. Louis.
There is substance to that quar
rel which unquestionably will
carry it into the courts, and the
chief contention will be on the
part of the subsidiary company
that the Rockefeller interests
seek to establish the ineffectual
character of the court's decree.
As it would appear to the lay
man, here is a chance for the
Department of Justice to step in
and put the vital issue to final
test. If the Rockefeller group
can force control on the Water
Pierce Company, what is to pre
vent it adopting the s:ime course
with reference to each of tin
ottier unlependent companies
into which the Standard Oi
Trust was split by decree of the
Supreme Court?
So in the case of the Tobacco
Trust dissolution with the
ownership of the majority stock
yet remaining in the hands of a
few holders, who maintain a
unity of interest, how far can
one say that the decree of disso
lution dissolves? The owners
of the stock, formerly in control
of these trusts, maintain their
right to remain in cpntrol on
the ground that the law cannot
prevent them from managing
their own property, and in ordi
nary effect that is solid ground.
It was apparent to many when
the Supreme Court rendered its
decision in the Standard Oil
Case that the court had in mind
the real ineflicacy of the Sher
man law, and by that decision
served notice upon Congress
that the trust problem must be
solved, if it is solved at all, by
further enactment. It would
seem that the trusts themselves
are out to force the hand of the
Government Telegram.

When the Willamette valley
weather jirognosticators were
figuring out last fall from the
fur on the rabbit's foot and the
color of the goose's bone that we
were in for a hard winter, they
must have got their wires
crossed. The prophecies that
they deduced from these occult
signs were probably intended
for the East, for the East has
had one of the hardest winters
in its history, while Oregon's
winter season has been unusu
ally mild. Eugene Register.
President Taft will most likely
be forced to 6roother his ambi
tion for further presidential
honors. He should have taken
a quit-claim deed of Roosevelt
when the latter took leave of the
White house three years ago.
