Now. the1 question is, What next! It is suggested that Colonel Bryan eould even things up a little by ad dressing some Republican ! elub. ! It, was not so much that the Rus sians have gotten what was coming 10 then) as what they have come to. There is one thing, if; the supplies for the Panama canal are carried ' in barges, the carrier will be American. We are the greatest .barge rustlers in the world. " There is really only one argument in answer to those who demand a revision of the tariff. The country is prosper ous. ' That is sufficient argument against it. If the Republican party Tias'fb ad mit that the protective tariff is 'a bur den on the government, wnyTtWtt not have to admit that it ir Hkewlse "aUulr den on the ordinary citizen f How Cuba has managed to exist three years without a revolution is dif ficult to understand when the Spanish and Spanish-American character is known. However, Cuba has done well And is entitled to credit therefor. - The report that John X. Rockefeller, Jr., would leave the Standard Oil Com pany on account of its methods is now found to be incorrect. He prefers to stay In" because "of Its methods of pay ing dividends, and be needs the money. The way the democratic papers con tinue to applaud the canal commis sion's free trade proclamation is high ly interesting. This reminds us how eay it is to step off the beaten path, but how hard it is to explain why it is done. - : Mr. Wade Butcher, of Baker City, is reported in the Washington Post as saying tbat Governor Chamberlain would easily bei reflected to his posi tion. Well, there is still some hopes that the Republican majority may not bo entirely destroyed by 1906. The federal party of the Philippine islands is reported as favoring a policy leading to the ultimate independence of the islands. They probably have not heard of Whitelaw Reid's amend ment to the new policy of the govern ment; that clause about attempting to lower the American flag. They will hear of it in time, however. The best citizen of a community is oftentimes its worst citizen, from the fact j that he absolutely fails in his 'duty to the municipality or state. He who spends his time in ranting about good government and does nothing to bring it about is entitled to little re spect. His complaint is only at the effect;- he overlooks the cause. The cry "grafter" is very unbecoming in those who have failed to attend prima ries, and thereby have done nothing to prevent the dishonest man getting into power.

D, re cently in the New York Herald, in dis cussing the glory of common IITST, aid.-;, - . . , , '.' . . , 'Common toil la not ao interesting as eonapieuous labor, but the ordinary attainments of common toil and com mon life are, as a rule, truer measure ment .of character than are those strik ing and exalted things of special ex alted momenta. It la easier to ba brave in one stirring conflict ; which eallo for special heroism and ia whieS large interests are involved than tobe habitually brave in the thousand little struggles of onr daily Uvea. It ia less task to be good natured under one great provocation in the presence if others than it is to keep sweet tem pered day after day amid the' frictions, strifes and annoyances of our ordinary lifeJ ; r:' :t "There are, men who are magnificent when they appear on public occasions, wise, eloquent, masterly; but in the pri vacy of their homes, where they ought to show gentleness and patienee and tboaghtfulness and self-eontrol, are over-bearing,, almost unendurabla Inj their 7 retf ulness and complaining, no reasonable, irascible and' given To al most every kind of selfishness. There are; women, too, who are queens in so ciety, and give the impression of most amiable and lovable qualities, but In their own households are querulous, fretful and peevish in the extreme.'. "On the other hand, there are men whose names never appear in print. Their lives have no glittering peakl; towering high for the gaze of an ad miring world, and yet the level plain of their toil, how rich in strength and use fulness! There are women, too, who do not shine in society, who are the queens of no drawing rooms, but who in their own quiet and sheltered homes do tbeir tasks with faithfulness, move in" ways of homely duty and unselfish serving, with sweet patience and quiet cheerfulness. These are the men and women who are the real heroes and heroines, the men and women of un praised deeds who ,.' " Leave no memorial but a world made A little better by their lives.' " "The mountain peaks lift their glit tering e rests into the sky and win at tention and admiration, but it is in the great ralleys and broad plains that the harvests grow and the fruit ripens upon which the millions of earth feed ; their hunger, fto it is not alone from! the conspicuous ones of earth, but also from those who in humble spheres and in ordinary toils are faithful and pa tient and true. . "To put in the dull routine of life the glory of love, of "best effort, or sac rifice, of prayer, offupward looking, of heavenward reaching, then the moat humdrum and uneventful lives will be come resplendent with the glory of God. Christ teaches us where life may be at its best, for it is not so much His miracles which glorify nis life as the aggregate of His common days and common toils, with their pure life, their aimple teachings, their ceaseless minis tries, their compassions, their thought fulness, comfort and helpfulness." DANGER IN PRESTDENTIAI POI2 : CTES. i ' i The editor of The Statesman is not the only man writing in. a newspaper in the United States today who feels that the president is overstepping the bounds of his lofty position when he indicates the legislation congress will be "expected to adopt" at its coming session. " i The Washington Post of May 18, in an editorial on " THe Era of Good Feel ing,' said: I "Unquestionably the" people gener ally have almost unlimited confidence in President Roosevelt. All men of all parties and factions believe that he is as sincere, honest and patriotic a man as ever filled the presidential office. But all men of all parties and all fac tions are not ready to support all of his policies. A great many men, and not a few of them are men of influence ia the most intelligent communities, deplore the tendency to look to the Ex ecuitve for the direction and eontrol of legislation. They know tht our government was not built that, way that it is the business of the legisla tive department to make the laws, "to approve or disapprove ' of the presi dent V recommendations as the iwo houjses of congress may see fit. And they are not impressed with the notion that an "era of good feeling" de mands for its existence or prolongation an appeal by the president to the peo ple against the leaders of his own par ty in congress. With all of their warm personal regard for Mr. Roosevelt and their admiration for his great qualities undiminished, they perceive danger in such pushing of presidential policies. A house divided agaisst itself cannot stand' is one ofthe maxims laid down ia the good, old Book." v "'. ;; REVISION X-UIX OF DANGER." -The question of . a revision of the tariif has never yet been broached in congress with any possible chancy of its being carried through - that body without disturbing the business of the country. The stand-patters of the country today do not claim that the tariff, as at present n force, ia abso- lutely, perfect, but they fear any tin keying with that document on account of the constant effort of its enemies to break . into the Republican policy of protection. The newspapers that are demanding revision of the tariff are the same old advocates of a lower tar iff or, otherwise, free trade. They now veil their - free-trade policy under the cry of revision.' Oregon is not for M re vision "-because Oregon does not be lieve in free trade. If the revisionists will state just what they want revised, just what particular clauses of the tar iff .are '-ao etterly wrohg M to require reduction, then the matter might be considered on ; its merits. Tbia they have not done, nor .do they offer to do. All they ery n, Revise the tariff! That is what was demanded so loudly in 1892, and who fails to remember the effect of the revision of the tariff at that time. ? " .-. .'. Talk f . revising the tariff by its friends is all right, but who are -its friends T Are Its friends those who cry out -for revision on account of the in justice of protecting American indus tries, which give labor to American workmen f Are its friends those who complain that' great industries have grown up and thrived under the pro- teetive tariff, and from reasons of jeal ousy demand that these industries be torn down, and brotfght on a par with lice industries of Europe f Are its friends those who Lave demanded that the government should buy . its ships, tools, supplies for the Panama canal abroad, . because, : having been made by cheaper workmen, they can be bought cheaper there f ; Are its friends those who have been recognized disciples of Cobden, Eng land 's jgreat i free-trader, and now claim to be its friends simply to join in swelling the volume of cry for re vision? - " We doubt if these are friends of the protective tariff. "We doubt if they are friends of the Oregon wool-grower, the ' producer I of raw materials, the manufacturer; or the best-paid laborer of the world." t When the true friends of the pro-1 teetive tariff; deeide that the tarjff is in need of revision, and they can re vise that document without danger of disrupting the business of the country, then a revision of such jelauses of the tariff may need it might be made. So I long, howeevr, as tba demand for revision comes principally from those who Lave ever opposed the protective policy, the proposal is full of danger and should be strenuously opposed. SENATOR FULTON DENIES. Senator Pulton writes The States man requesting a, denial of a statement appearing in the Daily Statesman of May 23, in which he is represented as favoring A? P." Bla'ckerly "as against W. T. Riches for postmaster at Silver ton. Senator Fulton says he refused to take sides on this question, b,ut that he promised the ' matter should have his attention when the time should come for the appointment to be made. The Statesman published this story, which first appeared in the Evening 'telegram, on what it considered reli able authority. The correction is made as requested. ..Senator Fulton also writes that he seems to have been misquoted in his position '- on'; the tariff question. - We are sorry, for his, for we agree per fectly with the position he was quoted as taking. He says, however, that, "so far as revision of the tariff schedules is concerned, .without now entering upon a detailed statement relative thereto, I will say that I think some changes should be made. In the na ture of things, no tariff schedule eaa be permanent, and, while complete re vision is not now necessary, some Changes would, in my judgment, prove beneficial. That tariff legiaation la al ways liable to disturb the business of the country and operate disadvantage ous for a time I admit, yet I believe, if it shall be understood thatno rad ical changes are contemplated, no seri ous disturbances will result." The position of Senator Fulton la all right i he could be sure, and thus ar sure the country that no radical changes would be attempted; but, while no . doubt he feels none may be at tempted) yet we doubt if he is pre pared to insure the country of this. 8AIXM EHOULl TAKE IT UP. It may be hat few of Salem's peo ple realize what a short distance is lacking to connect this city with New port directly by raiL Reliable surveys make the distance from Falls City to Newport thirty-two miles, nd with six teen miles to Dallas or twelve miles to Independence the connection would be complete. 'Do Salem people appreciate what it would mean to have a railroad bringing the wealth of Polk and Lin coin counties to Salem T This road ' would -open np as fine a body of timber as lies out of well, out of a forest reserve, and also an ideal dairy and stoekv country, which of it self would mean riches to the markets of Salem. O; ' , r ,."'' Then think "of placing Salem within three hours for that is what it would mean of the greatest outing resort and playground of the North Pacific coast. This of itself would be a considera tion worth a great deal to this city. 'And the city of Salem can. secure the construction of this road. - It cannot, secure it, however, by sit- ting still and waiting for some good Sa maritan to come along and build it for her, but by an application of the prin ciple of self help. "The Lord helps those who help themselves," is an old and homely adage, but it is true, J Salem must help itseUV Newport stands ready to do what it can. : The writer is son anred by bu.ei of Newport that they will give wttw front terminal grounds, wiJI give rights-of:way and a considerable land bonus in addition to aid, and encourage, this . enterprise. .Now what will Salem dot, ; Capital can be easily found to build the road if Salem, most Ueeply Inter-, ested of all,' will show confidence in the seheme by helping it along. . : JERRY HEART IS FUXI. Jerry Simpson, the sockleas Jerry of bygone days, weeps at the degeneration of-Kansaa. He ia now a land agent in New. Mexico, and returned tO ; Kansas to see how the old wind-swept state looked. But he casts bis arms aloft and cries, "Woe is me!" He eries out at Mary Ellen incase in New York making V speeches for Roosevelt. "How," says Jerry, "can she recon cile this with the doctrine of 'less corn and more belli' ! "Annie Diggs is leading the shel tered life," says he; "P&ffer ia pen sion attorney; heedy and Idttle are not in it, and the rest of, the Popu lists are nowhere. Yon cannot find a Populist with a search, warrant. The 'erown of thorns and the cross of gold' have been forgotten. The people have gone off after strange Gods." Poor Jerry! The only one left has his postofSce address ' in Nebraska, but he is away from home- on a trip around the world. Just think of itf- A Populist headed for the other side of the world, leaving no one' to hold the other parties down. But hold on. Where 's Tom Watson f Jerry mayhap has not heard of Tom, bnt when he does his soul will rise up within his bosom and say, "This is what it has all come to;' let me back to Mexico and my land office among the greasers." The Lewis and Clark .fair is now ready for the grand flourish! Bright and early on the morning of Thursday, the first day of June, a concert will open from the end of the trail from a dofcen varieties of throats, and our own Homer Davenport wilf stand at his front gate and call his pigs and chick ens around him as he used to do out at Silverton before be "became a big gun. He has birds and . bird dogs; Arabian horses and nany goats; animals of va-l nous Kinds and Dims 01 variegated plumage. ,We will be pardoned for say- ing that Homer will be a , big part of the show and will attract at least all of the 'people from! Silverton and the Abiqua and from along the banks of pudding river, and even, down to the Clymer neighborhood, to see him and his famous pets, and no doubt mOre will go to see htm than will care about his 'animals. Homer Is one Oregonian that has had a great deal, of fame thrust upon him, and his fame will at tract a crowd. However, we'll war rant he hasn't as good a' game rooster in his whole bunch of birds as he used to carry through the streets of Silver- ton, sheltered under his left arm. a The following from - a California speaker is no doubt a clear statement of just how it ought to be done in pol itics, but the trouble is to get it done that way: "The foundation of politics is the primary election and the neces sary preliminary organization attend ant thereon. Each voting precinct should have partisan clubs; every vo ter of the precinct should belong to such a club and take an active part in its deliberations. These clubs should select candidates for delegates to con ventions, see that proper persons are appointed to serve as officers of elec tion and supervise the casting and counting of the ballots. Delegates so elected would be directly responsible to those who elected them, and eould be held accountable for their actions in convention.'' The trouble in Califor nia and ia Maine and Texas is the same as the trouble in Oregon. The prima ries are attended by perhaps a small majority ot all the members of the va rious parties, and no scheme has yet been devised that would interest the remainder in political work. ) - There is no excuse at all for Repub licans to refuse to support Hon. Geo. H. Williams for mayor in the coming municipal election in Portland, and but few are likely to do so, Mr. Will iams embodies all the elements of re publicanism, and,, in addition to hav ing been a consistent member of that party since its ineipiency, his time and talents have ever been at its beck for party success. O.If the ; Bepublicans should fail to elect Mrt Williams may or of Portland, 4hey will find out later that such failure was a. great mistake. If party success is of value at all, it is of as much value in the election of the mayors of our cities and towns as it is in the election of our governors and other officials, u Republicans are willing to admit now that the election of a , , f . r: v . - If conducive to Republican content ment. If the, story that come rom Eliza beth (X. J.) is true, this country has come to a .pretty pas when the' gov- eminent lets contracts in China for the construction of ships to be .used in our insular ' possessions, and then - sup presses all 'news' concerning the mat ter. The jPaeific' coast could iave built those ships a cheaply, relative prices of labor jin the United States and China taken into -: consideration, : , as China, and have done . abetter. .It is said eight vessels have been launched for the 'United States government at Canton, China, within the past twelve months, at cost of 95,000 per ship, each being 160 f eet Ubng, 1,000 horse power, 12-knot ships. Thie matter should be taken up by congress at that special session now so surely prophe- ied.- ' j , Whoever it may have Keen who selected- Salem day : at the Lewis and Clark fair and appointed it for Satur day, knew nothing about Salem ' and the conditions at rSalera. This city is in the center ot a great agricultural section, where, since the memory of man run net n not to the contrary, the farmers have made Saturday their trading day. The' result 'will be that Salem day at the fair ahould be changed, or it will be a rank failure.

The colonnade at the entrance makes a splendid introduction 'to the grounls. The buildings themselves, just j beyond, impress yon with their beauty and grandeur1 and their harmo nious arrangement. Among these buildings, the . forestry building is, without question, the most distinctive and, !t think, will be the one Which will give the fair a lasting plaee, in the memories of men. . A magnificent, well proportioned structure of logs, it pos sesses a dignity that is charming and a massivenerfs that ia sublime. Yet the interior is more soul-satisfying than the eitcrior. . A double row of mighty eolumns extends down either sido of the ttransept, agreeably dividing the interior.
