TELEGRAPH.
An Era of Elimination. I
The following from the Woman's
National Daily, of Si, Louis, is about
the niost pointed of any thing yet Been:
It is undoubtedly quite important to
know just what Mr, Haskell's relations
with Standard Oil have been, but Mr,
Bryan stated that proof of these rela
tions would mean the instant elimina'
tson of Mr. Haskell, and he has now
eliminated himself. Mr. Roosevelt was
asked, but failed to furnish the proof,
Bince he has already publicly con
demned and executed Mr. Haskell off
hand on evidence satisfactory to him.
It is presumed that Mr. Haskell's eliitv
ination by Mr. Bryan will be followed
by Mr. Roosevelt's instant elimination
of his secretary of the treasury, Mr,
Cortelyou, whose intimate relations
with Standard Oil, the express and
other trusts in the process of extract
ing slush funds for Mr. Roosevelt's own
campaign, is already well known and,
by the way, in order that the charge
made by Mr. Roosevelt that Mr. Mack
received $300,000 campaign funds from
Mr. Taggart, which Mr. Mack denies,
may come with good grace, it is pre
sumed Mr. Roosevelt will now order
the refunding of the $250,000 slush
fundB contributed to Mr. Cortelyou by
Mr. Roosevelt's practical friends, Mr.
Harriman and associates; and since Mr.
Dupont is being sued by the govern
ment as the head of the powder trust,
it was presumed Mr. Roosevelt would
eliminate him, had he not just elimina
ted himself, since he has been "discov
ered," as head of the campaign speak
ers' bureau of Mr. Taft's party. Since
there is to be such a general house,
cleaning, why not eliminate the unre
viewable postal official, whose brother,
for a fee and other expenses, so ably
defended clients in jeopardy at the
hands of his brother during the past
four years? Then, too, there is that
five or six million bonus in the ocean
mail contract which Mr. Perkins and
Mr. Morgan, for insurance favors
shown, received at the hands ot Mr.
Cortelyou as postmaster general, that
should come back in the general clean
up. We hate to suggest such a thing,
having been taught its danger, but
there is the express trust and Mr. Piatt
who have been running the poBtofflce
department and taken some twenty or
thirty millions per year unlawfully
from the postal funds why not elimi
nate Mr. Piatt? We are going to far.
there won't be anything left, if we
keep this up, but Mr. Roosevelt him
self. Now, if Mr, Roosevelt, having
entertained us for so many years,
batted us over the head with his mighty
power when we committed lone ma.
jeBto, monkeyed with our courtB, Drey
fuaized Col. Stewart, muzzled the
press, denied the right of potition,
abolished trial by jury and substituted
unroviewablo mandates, established an
eleven million'dollar per year system of
secret spies and espoinage over private
citizens and busted the trusts and the
rest of us, will now eliminate 111 11
SELF and lot Mr. Taft.and Mr. Bryan
finish the fight, it won't be quite so in
teresting, perhaps, but it will greatly
add to tho dignity of his office and the
glory of hib own exit therefrom.

Btory of politics. According to the
democrats Mr. Bryan is pretty sure to
be elected, and according to the repub
licans Mr. Taft has It all his own way.
And there you are. Bill will. Bill
won't. The campaign has been devoid
of sensations. About all there has
been to it has been an effort to make
voters believe certain men have been
connected directly or indirectly with
Standard Oil, a joke when it is remem
bered that'Standard Oil has been built
up by laws made by a republican con
gress, and the failure to enforce the
laws we have.
Perhaps there has been nothing ex
citing more general interest than the
clos.ng of a national campaign in base
ball, in which two clubs, with one game
to play were a tie, making the pennant
depend upon that game. It was a
nerve racking situation, particularly
for the people of the two cities
interested. Being a native New
Yorker this Saturday Night Thinker
had a decided preference, but it will
take more than a base ball game to
suggest suicide in this splendid world
of ours, with so much to live for when
life is half liyed.
.
It has been.learned that Albany Col
lege has a prospect of a $100,000 en
dowment, something it needs most em
phatically. Handicapped by a lack of
funds it has bravely pushed forward
against obstacles, doing a good service
in the cause of education, faithfully
fulfilling its mission. This is no chi
mera, but a genuine prospect. A good
endowment will put the college on its
feet and give it an equipment that will
make its work more complete and
effective. Standing for much in morals
as well as in education it deserves the
best support that can be secured for it.
The foot ball season has begun, one
which interests a great many people
Though a rough game it is a wonderful
one in its generalship. It is not a game
all of muscle, but as well one of head
work. Just beef alone won't win a
game. Teams play the best which use
their heads the most, and control their
nerves the most effectively. Young
men do well not to go into the game
unless theyare built for it. It is no
contest for weak lungs and flabby mus
cles, but it is one for excitement and
aggressiveness.
f he Democrat this week had an op
portunity to secure some well made
shears at a very cheap price when se
cured in large quantities, to offer as
premiums to new subscribers and old
oneB paying up. It was refused. The
writer has a notion of his own on this
subject, and that is that people shall
subscribe for the Democrat because
they want it because of its merit as a
local newspaper, and a purveyor of
good ideas, not because they want to
secure a pair of shears or some other
thing, which is legitimate enough. The
Democrat is always glad to have new
subscribers and gets a good many of
them, but it likes to got them without
any sileshow attachments, and they
generally stay better too.
Dilterent Why.
A dispatch from Washington states
that Senator Bourne has hired the most
expensive residence in the city, and
will entertain in a lavish manner next
winter. Perhaps Oregon will get in
the public limelight under Mr. Bourne's
expenditure of money, even if he does
not through the statesmanship of its
senators. Really, though, the kind of
attention Oregon needs is statemanship
in the interest of this great northwest
country, asking for recognition. Sena
torship is something more than display.
Perhaps that is what it' has became
through practice; but it should be work.
It should particularly be on the part of
Mr. Bourne, practically elected by the
people. The field is a big one and it
needs to be filled in an active manner.
There is little doubt it will be by Sena
tor Chamberlain, when ho gets into tho
harness. Will it also be by Senator
Bourne.

It must be a groat deal harder for Mr.

it is for Mr. Taft to give up his fishing

BIG THINGS
AHEAD.
At the session of the synod at Ash
land last evening $1500 was pledged for
Albany College for current expenses
the coming year. The national college
board will add $2,000 to this, making
$3500 for current expenses, putting the
college in good condition for better
work than ever. The synod is waki ng
up to the importance of the college, and
during the coming year more work will
be done for it than ever before. The
Albany College meeting cf tho synod,
according to a private dispatch received
was a most enthusiastic one. "The
prospects of the college were never
better, lhere are big things ahead."
Ono of those is the endowment of nt
least $tH, 000, perhaps $100,000, and some
things not yel public.

Game Law Violations.

there being nothing in the law to pre
vent it, so decided by the court. There
has to be proof that he killed over ten
in a day, and who can make it.
Mr. Munkers will favor a strict
er law, one making the possession of
over ten birds evidence or guilt, and a
conviction for violation of the law pun
ishable by the taking away of the li
cense and imprisonment.
