President Taft handed out a valentine to the Arizonians on Wednesday, by signing a procla­ mation admiring Arizona to the Union as a State. The new state ranks as the forty-eighth. That tanking up on booze makes demons out of otherwise pretty decent fellows, has been very well demonstrated in more than one instance in Newberg lately. The question for these fellows to determine is, does it pay? ________________ A number of newspapers are engaged in the innocent pastime o f collecting straw votes on Presidential election possibilities just now, and so far as noted none of them have failed to bring out their pet candidate in the lead. I t is not the unexpected that has taken place in the reported opposition to the Fourth street franchise that is bring asked for by the Southern Pacific in P ort­ land. It is well understood that the members o f city councils in large cities have a habit o f hold­ ing their bands behind them un­ der certain trying circumstances, and it is possible this is the situ­ ation the S. P. is np against. The people o f the whole West Side country from Corvallis north, are anxious to see the Southern Pacific get a franchise for an electric line on Jefferson street and down Fourth in Port­ land, in order that they may be landed in the heart of the city or a t the Union station. This large territory, which comprises the best farming and fruit growing section o f the state, furnishes a lo t o f trade for Portland and w ill furnish many times more in the near future, and the reason­ able demands o f the people are entitled to consideration at the hands of the city authorities. The steam car service on Fourth street has been a bone of conten­ tion for years, and this service the Southern Pacific is willing to discontinue if a franchise for elec­ tric line service is granted. T o outside people the proposition seems reasonable, and the feeling tow ard Portland is not going to be very warm hearted if conces­ sions are not made that will en­ able them to get aw ay from the old Jefferson street station, when they g o to the city on business. the T a ft committee reveals the fact that they are for T a ft by a large majority. The view of the outlook given by one who has traveled much, as expressed by the follow in g from Tuesday’s Oregonian is significant: “ Taft must be re-elected Pres­ ident,” declared Dr. Roland Dwight Grant, ex-pastor o f the First Baptist Church, w ho is in Portland for a few days after completing a year’s lecture tour, in which he covered more than 50,000 miles in the United States and Canada, enabling him to get into direct touch w ith all classes o f people. Mr. Grant now passes his Summer» at his country home in New Hampshire and his Winters in Boston, when not on the road. “ I f the Republicans nominate anybody else they w ill stultify themselves and not T a ft,” lie continued, “ and the Democrats will be able to elect anybody they choose. I find this senti­ ment by personal conversation in every part o f the country. “ Roosevelt stands not one chance o f getting the nomina­ tion. T o elect him would be a step toward barbarism. I look upon him as a “ faker.” This so- called new-enthusiasm for him is all pumped up and wonld not stand the test a minute. “ In viewing the Democratic situation I find that the one man who has known enough to keep still until he was asked is Champ Clark. He is the only possible candidate in sight. He could whip Roosevelt to a frazzle, to use the Colonel’s own term. Every Democratic newspaper is hoping to see Roosevelt nomin ated for that reason.” EDUCATIONAL INTEREST __Dl PIKE VALLEY Keep in Touch with our prices on Spray Fixtures The special train that was run to the Pike Valley by the Carl* ton Coast R.
