The censure the American press has been heaping on bar barous Mexico and autocratic Russia come with poor grace from our boasted government and its courts of justice, ' No such outrages have ever been committed in the name of civilizaton as have been perpetrated by ths man Heney. For a man once accused of a capital crime, the preferred bosom companion of men who have stopped at nothing: to gain their ends when monev was to be had .the farce is cer tainly played to the limit. KINDNESS CONQUERS PREJUDICE. For a president to travel-twenty thousand miles, make seven hundred speeches, and offend no one is breaking a recofd,- - b YM'lhat is what President Taft has done. t has made no threats against apy interest at home or abritpSj . , H'IjHeTias never uttered a boastful word about our country or himself. , He has avoided everything of a controversial nature. ' Yet'he has stood firmly arid clearly along the line of cer tain great orincibles. A firm national policy that is yet based on harmonious re-' fations with the whole world has been enunciated. President Taft has radiated good will and scattered mic robes ot prosperity as he went along. . , He attacked no industry and boosted for all American in terests. He attacked no individual and no corporation. fn none of his seven hundred speeches did he utter a wrong word, In a broad spirit of progress he has shown himself a great man and a true American, The whole nation is feeling the benefit of his broad-minded statesmanship, There are those who would have liked more sensational fern, There are those who would have enjoyed ripping up some great interest, . But the cooler and better-thinking population knows.that it always leaves sore places. Too many sore places put a strain on the whole body politic, The country cannot do business, manufacture and sell in tfie markets of the world, with a chip on its shoulder As a pacifier, as a harmonizer, as a steadying influence, President Taft has got the right stuff in him, He has won the heart or tne whole nation as a solid, lov able man the greatest president our country has ever had, KINDNESS TO AN OLD MERCHANT. ft has been said we are too young a country to have proper veneration for the agod, We wish to place on icurd an instance of a Saiem mer chant showing respect for a benefactor. All who remember l, F;iedman, a former Salem morclmnt, Inow he was once worth perhaps $50,000, In the days of h's prosperity he befriended a poor boy who lias since become a successful merchant. Of late years Mr, Friedma,. lias lost his grip ori affairs and could no longer stem the current. The boy he helped locked him up and made all arrange ments to set him up in business, So the old gentleman, in a small way it is true, can again ftofd up his head and be counted among men. While we are not permitted to mention names, it is a sat isfaction to record even th:s little .appreciation of a good tfoe(f, ffiu Friedman was a staunch friend of the Capital Journal ..7 its early beginnings and we send hm goid wishes.across ho continent and hope he may yet have many years of com- ort and enjoyment of life, " I I Ill' .. -V OREGON'S HARVEST OF HENEYISM'. That Mr, Heney has 'mi defeated in running for offlco at San Francisco is of small moment, The injury he did Oregon has been incalculable. With many of our public men under indictment, wth Presi dent Roosevelt poisoned against Orogon members of con gress, Mis state lost its arm contracts, lost Its share of the irrigation and reclamation work, lias inured this state mill ions. The Capital Journal, edited by Col, E, Hofer, has never knelt at the shrine of Heneyism. Other alleged nowsnapors and public men and so-called reformers helped the Heney fab .drank the Heney 'milk, and got their share of the Henoy swag, The craze got so intense that only about two men in Ore gon were considered pure enough and free enough from graft Tipulses to sit at the same table with Francis J Heney, Congressman Hermann, who has been held under a cloud WE PAY THREE PER Cent Interest on Savings .Deposits or Withdraw als mj: be made any SAVINGS nURARTMPNT X I Capita!

The "Gate" aro no longer opQU 30 to 25 against. wide Yesterday our old friend, John Albert, the banker , picked us up in his auto 'and gave us a ride for three" blocks, .; It was a little act oqourtesy, It cost him nothing, Yet it 'impressed, us with the; value of kindness in overcoming pre judice' It occurred to us if more autoists did that, the effect would be beneficial to the auto owners and those who rail at them, If all motorcar peoplevvould once in a while put them selves out to give a foot passenger a ride, i t 'would help all around. ' ' It would stop lawsuits, help good roads, produce good feel ing, and do away with the need of stringent legislation. We take pleasure .in copying the following editbral from the Christian Science Monitor: "A novel and at tho same time thoroughly commendablo method of mooting the objections of dwellers in rural districts against automobiles Is cited In the report of a certain ajrtflmoljile owner of this vicinity. He has done much to overcome tho pre'fffdlce against the automobile merely by Inviting pedestrians whom he overtakes to get In and takte a ride. Comparatively few of the people who walk- over country roads have ever enjoyed a ride in an automobile, and the small courtesy extended to them in this way, it seems, has proved a good investment. "A little more of this sort of thing practiced throughout the entire country would doubtless go a long w y toward removing practically all the misunderstanding that exists on this score. In fact, it would Introduce the horsolesu vehicle to many who otherwise might be a long time in get- "How long will they look well?' x That's the real point wliem you're buying clothes. Don't be satisfied just because the suit looks well when you first try it on. If a suit isn't pure wool, its style and its shape sim ply cannot last. 1ft Xlothcraft "Wool Clothes are pure wool. Each suit or overcoat carries a Signed Guarantee that it is all pure wool and that it will hold its style and shape.

There is good in this simple remedy for the resentment that some have borne toward the motor car; and underlying it is the simple arid straightforward lesson that a little kindness will do much to correct unthinking prejudice in many if not all of the vexing human problems."
