KEEPING COOIi.
All the day long I think about the
snow,
Tho whitened pond, the frost
king's frozen lair,
The berg's solid sides, the gleaming
ley floe,
Tho tempest's bluster and the
north wind's blare.
All tho night long I dream of Green
land's shores.
The Ico thatched cottage of tho
Eskimo,
Tho Ice bound sledge, tho sombre
Bky that lowers,
Tho winter's night that moves so
chill and slow.
I muse and dream of Arctic Ice and
chill
Until my veins run cold these
summer nights,
And often wake and fancy that tho
shrill
North wind roars through my
boaes and bites.
And thus oft times, while others wilt
with heat
And lean all limply like a wetted
rag
I have to put on my half frozen feet
An extra blanket and a hot water
bag.

Ono of tho victims of a New York

A Now Jersey bicyclist dodged a
scorching motor and was immediate

thoroby deepening tho chagrin of the

When ho becamo tho father of

made so much noise that tho police
had to bo called. Some men get ex
cited so easily.
"There is a worso noiso than thut

nor, "but I'vo forgotten what it is."

EITHER SURRENDER OR BETRAYAL.
Ttf PRESIDENT TAFT has deserted Ballinger, Cannon,
X Alilrifih of nl niul snrrondorcd to the demands of tho
insurgents, as has been reported, it indicates a doplorable
weakness on tho part of the nation's executive. No ono
likes a quitter, least of all a quitter who deserts his
friends under fire. Furthermore, it raises a question of
Taft's sincerity.
Concessions reported to have been made by Mr. Taft,
evidently for campaign effect, will not satisfy the insur
gents, any more than they will satisfy the stand-patters.
The man who sacrifices principles and men for political
expediency arouses a deserved widespread distrust.
If Ballinger was in the right, as President Taft has
repeatedly proclaimed, it is wrong to remove him. If the
Payne-Aldrieh tariff bill was "the best tariff bill" wo
have ever had, as stated by Mr. Taft, why listen to those
who denounce it, and repudiate it by discarding its au
thors, thus confessing it one of the worst.
Mr. Taft's reported action
election, with the old guard, who have been his defenders,
is either a grandstand political play for effect, to fool
the voters, or it is a betrayal
of base ingratitude.
Presumption is that Taft
instructions, which raises the
TYhile Roosevelt was away,
Has he lost it upon his return, and is Roosevelt president
by proxy, sort of an overlord of America?
HAWLEY'S PREDICAMENT.
TJ EPORTED repudiation of Uncle Joe Cannon by Pres
" ident Taft, places Congressman Hawley in a pecu
liar situation.
Mr. Hawley has been Uncle Joe's faithful henchman.
He has done valiant service in sustaining the czar-like rule
of the speaker. He has "stood in with the gang" right
along, and as a reward, to help his re-election, has been
allowed a slice out of the "pork barrel."
It has been Mr. Hawley's proud boast that he could
"get things" in the way of appropriations, because he
was a follower of Cannon's. He modestly claims, on his
election card, to have secured single-handed about all the
legislation benefitting the northwest, enacted by congress.
But Uncle Joe's sun has set set down on by Taft,
and it's a brave sun that can rise with such a heavy, weight
planted on it. And with Uncle Joe eliminated, what is to
become of his henchman? Hawley's pull on the pork bar
rel will have gone also, and Mr. Hawley will be practically
without influence in congress.
Mr. Hawley has bitterly opposed the insurgents. He
is persona non grata with them. "With Taft's support,
they will control the next session of congress. What can
Hawley do then? What use can he be to Oregon?
There is only one thing for Oregon republicans to do,
and that is to elect an insurgent to congress, not only be
cause the principles advocated by the insurgents are right,
but also on the ground of political expediency, of having
a representative in sympathy with the ruling caste.
FOUNDED ON FALSEHOOD.
RG. SMITH, a member of the democratic state central
committee, writes as follows to the Mail Tribune:
"Your editorial, 'The Democratic Ass Brays' is found
ed on a lie. I was at the meeting on the committee from
beginning to end, and no one suggested or even intimated
that anybody should withdraw in favor of John Manning.
I was credited with making a suggestion that some candi
dates withdraw, but I never used any language that could
be possibly construed in that sense. In fact, I advocated
getting out other candidates before the primaries if those
who have filed their declarations were not the strongest
men, to let the party make the selection at that time. R.
D. Inman said that he thought that if the democrats had
many contests at the primaries it might endanger their
chance at the election. I am
the interest of any person, and not John Manning. I
heard but one person during my stay in Portland suggest
that Myers and West withdraw in favor of Manning, and
he was not very earnest about it."
The article was written upon information printed in
the news columns of the Oregonian and other Portland
papers. It shows unreliable are the columns of the party
organs, which deliberately lie about political news.
The Oregonian ought to be old enough, big enough and
broad enough to print the truth in its news columns, re
gardless of party or faction, saving its falsehoods for the
editorial page, but it isn't. Evidently the assembly de
mands, "for the good of the party," that party organs
keep the news columns in the rut of malicious fabrication,
thus forcing the disgusted public to read independent pa
pers to learn the truth.
Hence tho growing popularity of the independent
newspaper and the failing popularity of the party organ.
in breaking, on the eve of
of supporters and an evidence
has followed Roosevelt's
questien: Who is president?
Taft had a mind of his own.
