PRESIDENT TAFT ESTABLISHES A NEW PRECEDENT.
practically for seven years, has been a victim of Heneyism,
It s now up to the courts to try Congressman Hermann
or exonerate him and restore him to the ranks of common
citizenship.
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,

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

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-

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,

in which it supplies the need of a safe and swift vehicle or carrier, would-
take. steps to purchase one. 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."
