NOTES AND C O M M E N T S
God, Give Us M en!
At this time, wjien a dozen or more candidates
for office are asking the voters of Washington coun
ty to nominate them, it might be well to see who of
the applicants measure up tc the standard set by
the author of the following impassioned lines:
God, Give us men ! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready
hands!
Men whom the lust of office does not k ill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who love honor— men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And brave his treacherous flatterings without wink
ing!
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.
For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds,
Their large profession, and their little deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting justice sleeps.

The News-Times, a republican
newspaser at Forest Grove, isn’t
particular as to candidates, just
so he wears a Republican collar.
It says editorially: “ If Hughes
will not run and the party will
not unite on Colonel Roosevelt,
then we are for Cummins.”
This same kind of talk has
caused Republicans in Oregon to
turn over the governorship and
senatorship to Democrats. The
| process of selection has been for
gotten by Oregon Republicans.
The “ bunch” has done the select
ing, aided by a few country news
papers in boosting the “ picked”
candidates and a trouncing at the
polls has been the result.— M c
