FRIDAY, JULY 49S'
TAFr TUB MAN.
A few more weeks will see tlic presi
dential campaign upon the country in
tall blast. Anil only a few weeks latci
tlic men of the nation III be called up
on to decide who shall be our president
for the next four cars. The coutest of
course will lie between Tatt and llryan,
or in other words between concrvatte,
constructive statesmanship and radical
and visionary ideas of jjovfrunicut.
Whom will the people choose?
Taft stands before the nation as a man
vpon whose shoulder have been placed
many of the most difficult tasks of late
jcam connected with governmental pol
icies. And h J has performed all of thec
-tasks with great ability. As governor
general of the Philippines he established
American sovereignty in the islands and
did it in a manner that won hint the
friendship of the l'ilipinos. As the rep
rcscntatlvc of this government to Cuba
at a most trying time, he brought to an
eud an Incipient revolution, a task that
Tqulred great tact, sound judgment, and
much ability. As secretary of war he
has had much to do with the construc
tion of the X'anatna canal and he has
Jons it well. Called upon repeatedly by
President Roosevelt to perform difficult
'.asks he has In every Instance conducted
the affair wttli honor to himself and to
his country.
Xle Is a big man. Not only In avoirdu
pois put tn those qualities that make a
man truly great and that fit him to per
form well the duties of a president. He
Mas the first United States judre to haul
the railroads into court on a charge of
rebating, and that was long before the
present outcry on the subject. His de
cision smashed the first trust ever brok
e'l by a fujeral court. He Is the sort of
a man who, when offered a position of
50,000 a year In exchange for one of
ffi.ooo if be would resign from the bench
iiid enter the services of a large New
Vork law firm, replied: "Gentlemen,
there are bigger things in this world
than money."
The one thing of greatest Importance
io the country at the present time is that
Taft Is heartily in sympathy with the
Roosevelt policies. If he is elected there
y ill lie no abandonment of those princi
ples and policies that place the welfare
of the nation as a whole above the wishes
and interests of a favored few. Ilia rec
ord shows him tq be one who will de
mand honesty in business matters and
high Heals in paldicsnd private life. It
s commonly stated that Roosevelt's ad
ministration has been epoch-making;
that he has aroused the American people
out lifted them to a hie her plane of na
tional and private affairs. And Taft will
continue that good work, not perhaps in
the Roosevelt way but in the Taft way.
Under Taft there will be no retrogres
sion. Taft has been tried repeatedly and has
made good, Bryan stands as the advo
cate of frca stiver, anti-imperialism and
radicalism. Whom will the people
choose' ' i
Since the railroad meeting Monday
night there has been much favorable
comment regarding the movement to
build a line into Central Oregon. There
s plainly more enthusiasm and the busi
ness men of Bend arc signing the sub
scription list for commeudably large
lauis. This is encouraging. There is
no reason why Central Oregon, assisted
by Portland, can not build the proposed
Juitr. The same thing has been done be-
ore, it can be done again. All that Is
ii:ccsury 1 for the people to get in the
right frame of mind, to say we can and
vvtll dq it. Nothing can be accomplished
when u num thitricsv "I can't." Iiut won
ders are possible when he says, "I can
uiid will." And that is the manner in
which people are now looking at the rail
road question. It's a winner.
The two fires of the past week cuiplia
hiicnn important point, namely, that
everyone should lie careful about setting
ires. Lighted matches, cigar and cigar
ette stubs should not be thrown around
carelessly; and children should not be
allowed to play with fire. A short time
ago a fire started in the alley in the rear
of the C. A. Chapman building and was
put out by some little children. How it
started no one knows. At this seasott of
the year everything is as dry as tinder
aud for that reason special care should
l observed. Property Is too valuable
to be destroyed through carelessness or
by'ftllowing'cklldreu to play with fire.
Thett i aa ordinance to the affect that
no bonfires shall l allowed within loo
feet of a building. The ordinance should
be vigorously enforced.
lUicuherc In this iuc is an ntliclu
wanting people from ming witter from
the standpipc for irricatlou purposes
dmhiR. hc night, as it Is evident mime
liava been doing. Tuesday evening nt
7 o'clock the tank was full and running
over but the next jtiorntttg it contained
only a foot of ot'r i5iippoe a lite nad
broken out at that time? People who
persist In opentttg their faucet and let
ting the water run at night arc doing a
dangerous thing for the safety of the
town, leldcs violating the rules of the
water company. I.etV be reaonnbtc
about this matter ami cloe all faucet

COMMENT BY OTHER PAPERS
The Prcoldental Campaign.
Huitne krgittrr
William II. Taft, republican
ciiufidntc for president, looms upon
the liorizou as one of the biggest,
brainiest and level-headed states
men of the time, more conversant
with the needs of the country than
any other living statesman aside
from Roosevelt. While Bryan,
grown older and more conservative,
the defeated hero of two presiden
tial campaigns, will not make the
third sacrif.ee without a Herculean
effort to land in the white house.
With reason it may be admitted
that while there is doubt in bis
own party ranks that Bryan can be
elected, the Ncbraskan i? stronger
with the masses now than he has
ever been before. He has lined up
some of the conservatives who
heretofore have bitterly opposed
him and while throughout the na
tion there will not be that wild and
unreasoning enthusiasm that
marked his previous campaigns, he
will have a very preceptiblc follow
ing in directions that have hereto
fore opposed him, nnd the great
contest will be more even than in
1S96 or 1900.
However, we doubt if the coun
try is yet ready to fully trust Bryan
and his policies. It is morally cer
tain that if Lane county is a fair
sample of public opinion on the
presidential outlook Taft will be
elected.
The Denver convention has
roused no enthusiasm here. Al
though it was known that Bryan
would probably be nominated
Thursday night the press of Ku
gene had few calls for information
and announcement of his nomina
tion Friday mornini: created no
stir or enthusiasm, whereas, during
the republican convention local
press telephones were kept hot by
inquiry from all parts of the coun
ty pending the result.
Much depends upon the kind of
a campaign waged between now
and November. The public has
long since learned thai platforms nt
best arc mostly meaningless nnd
are used chiefly to get in on, re
gardless of party. ' The camtaign
will be a battle of giants, a contest
tor aud between candidates in
which party and platform will be
largely relegated anil lost sight of.
Four Years of Good Times.
Coodou Timt.
The preliminaries arc ended for
the great national struggle, with
William Howard Taft and William
Jennings Bryan pitted ncainst each
other for the greatest office in the
gift of the American people. It is
going to be a battle amongst the
giants and no man can tell, how
ever sanguine, who is going to
win. Mr. Bryan has proved him
self a master politician, by the
very fact that he was able to se
cure the nomination for the third
.time. He comes before the people
when they are clamoring for change,
whether for good or evil, and there
is no denying that he has, for the
present at least, the goodwill of the
working classes. Mr. Taft has, on
the other baud, the support of
President Roosevelt, who is sure
that he sees in the late' secretary a
man who will continue lib policies
and finish some of the Work that
he has left undone. Besides this
Mr. Taft has back of him. the-rec
ord and traditions of the1 republi
can party, whose policies have al
ways been safe and sane, not'given
to radical change, or spasmodic,
flighty legislation,' These will be
the policies of Mr. Taft, safe -and
sane; and if he Is elected president

Several years ago complaints
were uiude that the withdrawal of
tlmbetlands for forest purposes
reduced the taxable areas of the
states in which withdrawals wete
made. The forest service, quick
to see the justice of these com
plaints, recommended nt first that
to per cent, and later that 35 per
cent, of the gross proceeds from
the National Forests should be
paid to the states. As a testtlt,
the states nre assured of road anil
school funds, doubtless more cer
tainly than they otherwise could
have been, since the permanence of
the forest resources is now scented
by conservative maungement. Had
the forests never been established,
their resources would undoubtedly
have been exhausted by hasty nnd
improvident methods of exploita
tion, leaving the laud wasted and
unproductive.
