t WHY TAFT HAS FAILED. When the history of Mr. Taft's ad ministration is written, says a Wash ington man. his failure to win the sympathy of the people will no doubl be attributed to his selection as au visers of men who are not in sympa thy with the needs of the people of the country. Let us see who the men are, sur . rounding President Taft, who know exactly what "they" want; and who, through having practically a monop oly of the president's ear, have been able to deceive him into the belief th.it he is acting the part of a real statesman if he vetoes legislation of the very character that he promised the people before election in order 10 secure their votes. In his cabinet .Mr. Taft has Secre tary of State Knox, former stee l trust attorney; Attorney General Wicker sham, former sugar trust attorney. and Secretary of Commerce and l.a bnr Kaglc, former attorney for the Waters-Pierce (Standard) Oil Com pany. Then in his immediate family circle the president has I'rothcr Charlc.1 Taft, who is so constituted temper mentally and financially that he can view legislation only irom the view point that "Hig Business" views it and also Itrother Henry W. Taft, i . member of the New York law firm of Strong & Cadwalladcr, which reprC' .scuts t lie sugar trust, Wall street and the great industrial corporations. For substantiation of any advice the president may receive from the sources, he has but to call in Senator l.ippitt, Aldrich's successor from Rhode Island. Mr. l.ippitt is -one of ' the millionaire beneficiaries of the struggling cotton trust, and knows ex actly what he wants. Others who know what tlicy-waut and upon them (he president relies, arc Penrose, amoot, Guggenheim, IJu Pont and the balance of Ihe ring of special privilege servers in the Senate. And here is a list of the men whose advice is not sought by Mr. Taft: LaFollettc, Clapp, Cummins, Itristow and all genuine progressive rcpubli caiis. These facts tell their own slory. 'There's no chance for the President r to -do anything for the people as long as lie has his present advisers around, and from present indications he has no intention of taking on a new set of advisers. i . FLOYD RAMP ON THE GOOD AND BAD OF IT. 'To The Editor: Your liberality in the past in pub lishing my articles has encouraged me to send another one for your consid eration. Many people wonder why life is so uncertain, why it is so hard to get along in the world, why there is so much of disease, immorality, dishon esty, jealousy, graft, hatred, ugliness and why there is so little of love and beauty anil nobility. T heard a man say that he voted for good men. That is better of course than voting for bad men. but the trou ble is that what we caii a good man is often ili-ic--"-;"ed by a very narrow process of rt ing. Often we think men nr.- '.( ' ' .. but the trouble lies in the fact that the so-called good iiieii do not know what is good and what is bad. Principles anil theories of government and conduct and educa tion, etc., are very necessary to de termine whether a man is good or bad. We have voted for good democrats and good republicans but the world continues just about 'the same. A good man and a bad principle are . Injk-'icss in bringing i.bout a change. "Is. good principle and a bad man a dishonest one, arc equally hopeless, lint wc must remember that good principles often anil almost necessar ily find expression in good men. Most of all to be desired is a good and sound principle backed up by a man of good character and a supply of in telligence. These two are a hue coin Itittll I IM11 The trouble in society does not lie with men so much as with the system of production and distribution. F.vil is a result of n growth from certain economic conditions. To remove the evils we must change society. So the iiestlou is for every individual to de cide upon what set of principles the various evils and problems can be solved. Let's think and study every jcvil and every problem. FLOYD C. UAMP. RECALL OF JUDGES. The provision in the constitutions of Arizona and New Mexico provid ing lor the recall of judges is a good one. If there is to be a reacll law at all it should apply to judges. More than any other official there i,s a need for placing something very strong over the judiciary. Nothing endang eis government more than a poor judge. California this fall w ill vole on the constitutional amendments providing ior ihe initiative, referendum and re call. Gov Johnson has taken a strong position in reiereuce lo the matter as an article by him in Hampton's will U"-iilv. I le says: "The overshadowing issue is not v.uh.ud regulation, nor woman suff rage, nor the initiative and referen dum It is the riejil of the people to recall their judges. This is the su preme test of the new democracy. The legislature may pass laws and tlie people may even auu-iul their con stitution, bill the last word lies with the courts where laws are construed and constitutions interpreted. It these .-.mrl. lie beyond the reach of the iH-oplc Ihen the people do not rule." ;EI Convention.

A few men have been holding up the-Ore gon Electric on. some cheap property out of the city, in order to keo? the terminous there as long as possible, and they have pretended to be Willamette Valley boosteis.

A party coming from San Francisco to Albany was permitted to check bag gage to Salem, but not to Albany, on the Shasta Limited, on a Portland ticket. Why this discrimination?
