The primary is over and everybody
seems satisfied with theresnlts. The
defeat of Johnatban Bourne for nom
ination as U. S. Senator is especially
gratifying, and beina so pronounced it
should forever eliminate him fiom
Oregon politics. Ontide of Mult
nomah county, where Bourne's friends
made a red-hot fight for him during
the lasat two weeka of the campaign
and succeeded in carrying the county
by a small plurality,' he was aiiriDly
snowed under. The "cow counties"
especially going asainst him hard.

have started to walk from their home

was started in jest. All four had
expressed a desire to attend the Port
land convention but the state of their
finances would not permit them to
travel by train. "Why not walk?"
suggested one. "I'm with yr.a,"
eohoed the other three. So they
started. They have mapped out an
itinerary and a schedule that will
brine them into Portland on Monday,
July 8, at 10, a m. The Elks' con

In his Inaugural address President
Tuft called attention to the delicit theu
existing in tlie revenues and the con
sequent necessity for rigid ecouoniy in
expenditure. However, the president
singled out the department of iigrlcul
Hire us an exception. He said, to quote
bis exact words, "la the department
of agriculture tbe use of scientific ex
periments on a large scale, and the
spread of information derived from
them for the Improvement of geueral
agriculture must go on. "This view
the president has Htendily maintained,
and repeatedly has urged appropria
tions for the work of the department.
iu nis comprehensive message on
conservation President Taft snid. "The
feature that transcends all others, iu
eluding woods, waters, minerals. Is the
soil of the country." md tluit all mean
at the government's disposal should be
used to conserve the soils, adding, "a
work of the utmost importance to In
form and Instruct the public oh this
chief branch of ftV conservation of our
resources is being carried on success
fully In the department of agriculture."
Reports made recently to Secretary
Wilson of the department of agricul
ture by the beads of his bureaus Justi
fy this solicitude on the part of the
president for tbe department. In call
ins; for these reports the secretary ask
ed that they be brief aud that they
mention notable achievements of tbe
last live years only, Inasmuch as -that
period is really the period of fruition
J In the department, the period during
which, owing to the broad foundations
previously laid by the trulniug and
grouping of many corps of scientific
men, by Meaning farreaching legisla
tion, by gathering together masses ot
statistics and other information, by
providing scientific and other equip
ment. It litis been possible to produce
most marvelous results for tbe com
mon good of the people.
Taft For Conservation.
In his conservation message Presi
dent Taft emphasized the Importance
of the maintenance of the forests and
urged their scientific treatment "so
that they shall be made to yield a large
return in timber without really reduc
ing the supply," and in other messages
be pointed out the necessity of refor
estation. In accordance wiih these
views much available work has been,
done iu protecting the national forests
and by researches in the laboratory of
the department ot .Madison. Wis., and
In the past five years the work of re
foresting burned over areas 'has- pro
ceeded at the rate of 1 .".) Ittii to 30.000
acres a year. The department takes
justifiable pride in its forest work, con
sidering the administration of loo.OOO,
000 acres of land protected and man
aged for the public hem-tit a great
achuvement.
Since .Ian. 1, 1D07. when the food
and drugs act went into elTect. more
has been done to provide a good, clean
food supply than iu nliftlie preceding
life of t lie nation. A wonderful change
lias also been effected in the character
of the drugs on sale. The department
has a trained force of inspectors and
chemists doing excellent work in all
parts of tile country in In-half of pure
foods and pure drugs. This salutary
law, however, ueels amendment, as
the supreme court held in May. 1911.
that its provisions, to quote President
Taft's words In his vigorous message
to congress a month later, "do not
cover the knowingly false labeling of
uostrutns us to curative elTect." The
president added: "An evil which men
aces l lie general health of the people
strikes at the life of the nation. In
my opinion the sale of dangerously
adulterated drugs constitutes
such an evil ami warrants me iu call
ing the matter to J he attention of the
congress."
ROOSEVELT HAS HAD
SOME JjARD BUMPS
His Recent Campaigns Show
He Has Failed to Muster
Votes.
Can a man who disregards the whole
course of American history and tradi
tion, spurred on by his personal ambi
tion, overcome the tremendous handi
cap of the third term precedent aud
land himself In the White House?
This is a question all Republicans
are asking. All agree that no Ameri
can has ever been able to do it and
they can count on one finger the num
ber who even had the hardihood to try
it, and that only when spurred on 1y
self-seeking politicians who posed as
friends. People are asking themselves
if this is not the condition in the pres
ent campaign. ' ; '
Past performances are as valuable
in the case of candidates as of race
horses. How a candidate will run is
best determined by noteing how he
has run.
Not a Strong Vote Getter.
Despite a tremendous popularity in
the past, Roosevelt has never been a
remarkable vote-getter. Mr. Bryan
too, is remarkably strong all over the
country and has been for years, but
everyone knows how he failed to mus
ter the votes. When Roosevelt was
elected to the presidency, he ran
against a weak opponent. Judge Par
ker did not have the support of his
own party in that election.
But what Roosevelt has done since,
and indeed very recently, in vote-
getting Is more significant than his
former campaigns. Results of the
last election speak louder than any
thing else.
In New York, where the personality
of the ex-president actually overshad
owed that of Mr. Stimpson, the repub
lican candidate for governor, a demo
crat was elected by a majority of 07,-
000.
In Indiana, where Mr. Roosevelt

PRESIDENT TAFT.
Ills intimate friend and would-"be run
ning mate, Senator Beveridge, the
democratic candidate was elected bv
a majority of 12,000.
His Attacks Helped.
in Connecticut, Mr. Roosevelt at
tacked the democratic candidate for
governor, but he was elected by a ma
jority of 3,700.
In New Hampshire, where Mr.
Roosevelt's friend and champion,
Robert P. Eass, was elected, the vote
fell off 12,000 as compared with the
majority given to Mr. Taft in 1908.
As further evidence that Mr. Roose
velt's star is waning, may be cited the
fact, that the announcement of the
Rosevelt candidacy for the third term
did not evoke throughout the country
anywhere near the predicted enthus
iasm. In fact, the big shout that was
supposed to follow the throwing of
T. R's hat into the ring was noticeably
absent, from Massachusetts to Ore
gon. in many places it never rose
above a whisper.
