FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1912.
WARMING UP FOR JUNE 19.
The political outlook for the
nomination of a presidential
candidate on the Republican
ticket, is getting rather interest
ing to onlookers, especially
where partizanism has but little
hold, and we suppose it is even
more interesting to those taking
sides, at least it is more likely to
stir up animosity.
Those holding controling po
sitions in the committees are
getting ready for the final
struggle which promises to be
fierce. Taft's friends seem to
have control of the machine at
present but Roosevelt's managers
are preparing to get control of
the convention if possible.
The following telegram from
Chicago indicates conditions in
the two camps and the struggle
that is likely to ensue for supre
macy :
"The Roosevelt leaders here
this afternoon, convinced that
all contests, except that of Wash
ington state, will be decided in
favor of Taft, began preparations
to get control of the National
convention for Roosevelt. Fifteen
representatives of as many states
where Roosevelt is strongest
conferred at the Congress Hotel
and elected William Flynn, of
Pittsburg, chairman of the meet
ing and Frank Knox, of Michi
gan, secretary. They plan to
round up all delegates possible
and whip them into line for
Roosevelt, whether instructed or
otherwise. They say that Roose
velt's only hope is to get indi
vidual delegates to agree to vote
against sustaining the National
committee's temporary roll call.
Chairman Flynn, who is a
State Senator and the leader of
the progressive Republicans of
Western Pennsylvania, made
the flat announcement today
that Roosevelt is coming here
to direct his fight in person for
the contesting delegations."
THE WEAKNESS OFSTAND-
P AT ISM.
Under the above caption the
Salem Capital Journal has the
following to say:
"The standpatter in politics is
to be pitied. Standpatism is
only synonymous for political
stupidity. He does not keep in
touch with the masses of the
people. He accepts the dictum
of bosses, whose brains, as a rule,
are atrophied by desire for
plunder. The standpatter is a
case of arrested development.
Ideas are not the basis of his
activities. He is moved in poli
tics only by his appetite for
spoils. The standpatter has not
much more conception of any
one being animated by a prin
ciple than a totem pole. He can
see nothing in a political cam
paign, but an opportunity to get
official profits. That the masses
of the people might have a con
cept of righteousness in con
nection with public affairs is be
yond his comprehension. So
the standpatter goes blindly on
seeking power by sharp practi
ces, and gaining advantages by
over-reaching the people."
While the above is true from
a political stand-point it is also
true in other matters.
It is said, "A rolling stone will
gather no moss," and the term
is used to teach a lesson in econ
omy so as to induce the person
spoken to to acquire saving
habits. Hut come to consider
the matter, the stone has ac
quired its accumulation by inac
tivity and of what particular
benefit is the moss to it anyhow Y
Some one says, "It gives it a
handsomer ami a more inviting
appearance." Perhaps it does,
but it was the energy of the life
principle in the moss which
wrought the change; the stone
did nothing in the transforming
work except to lie idle.
Now, as we have already
stated, there are other stand-.
patters than in a political sense,
and if the moss on the stone
represents value, we are inclined
to believe that to accumulate
and enjoy the increase it is
necessary to do some exceeding
ly good hustling.
The march of intelligence is
onward and upward and the way
of doing things has been trans
formed from the old to the new
order.
The man who succeeds in
business must put his mind and
energy to work, or else he looses
out, and is displaced by the one
who is willing to advance.
The boy who goes to. school,
if a stand-patter, will always be
found at the foot of the class;
the farmer who will do his work
just like father did, a half century
ago, falls to the rear of the pro
cession, and the person who ac
quires an education and then
fails to apply it soon gets rusty
and is passed in the race by his
more energetic fellowmen.
Neither in public, private nor
religious life is there room for
the stand-patter except at the
lowest round of the ladder, and
he who stands there expecting
some one else to boost him into
fame, wealth or glory, will never
partake of the joys which come
through enerjrv and toil, es
pecially if engendered by equity
and righteousness.
The stand-patter does not
want to advance; he does not
like to be disconcerted by the
hustle necessary to keep up in
the procession, he has taken on
parasitical qualities and because
of his lack of perception and en
ergy he soon becomes discarded
as a "has-been."
The fight of the "Kilkenny cats"
at Chicago furnishes "reasons"
for new party alignments,' and
the general trend is toward a
higher standard of righteousness
at the polls. This is true of other
states.
The national convention at At
lantic City, N. J., will assemble
not less than 1,000 delegates of
optimists, who will nominate for
president and vice president and
issue a platform of which the
American people can be proud.
A Prohi.
The sale of the Enterprise, of
Independence, fell through and
Editor H. E. Brown still holds
down the chief chair in the
sanctum. The Washington par
ties who engaged to take the
business failed to come to time.
Mr. Brown is two hundreddollars
forfeit money ahead and will
still be found at the old stand
ready to do business as usual.
Prohibition Do Move.
The Prohibition party is making
more advancement in Oregon
during: this campaign than at any
time in its history. It has more
worKers, more money, more
counties organized than ever be
fore. All of the workers in their
reports tell us it is easier to get
voters, and "munitions of war."
