ROOSEVELT ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY It seems from Colonel Roosevelt's letter to Guy Emer son, secretary of the Roosevelt non-partisan league, that the colonel is out after the nomination of both the progressives and republicans, or the two united, as he ex pressed it. It also seems that those who said he was will ing to support Hughes or any strong progressive, were not fully informed. s The Capital Journal, a few days ago interpreted his description of the man whom he would support as mean ing no other than himself; and many other papers put the same construction on it, and apparently correctly so. The colonel's anonuncement, which is unequivocal, is not capable of construction being a statement that he will take the nomination if he can get it, and that he will try to accomplish this. This puts an entirely different com plexion on the political situation. Roosevelt is a shrewd politician, knows the game thoroughly, and is also familiar with the deck with which it is played, knowing most of the cards by their backs. The fact that he enters the race openly at this time shows that he at least thinks he can win. He is resourceful, chary of advice, and goes his own way. That is what changes the complexion of things. What he will do in case he is not nominated only he knows. ' What he can do if he chooses, everyone who has not forgotten the election four years ago knows. If he should be defeated he can either accept and stand in with his victors or bring his party back to life. Should he do the former there will be a pretty fight perhaps, but should he do the latter the history of ll)12.vill be repeated. Tt. is three weeks vet until the conventions meet, and until they are over and the results known, no one will be able to say what the colonel will do, and not then until he makes his intentions public. It can be stated though, that the colonel is not an ex pert at turning the other cheek, and it is a pretty safe bet he will get the republican nomination, or he will get the .same thing at the hands of his own party. It remains to be seen which is the larger, the G. 0. 1 or T. R. PATRIOTISM UNKNOWN IN MEXICO Life is wonderfully long to the boy looking forward; and it is" exceedingly short to the old man looking back ward over the road he has traveled. If a man reaches 82 years, which is a ripe age, he has lived 29,950 days. Of these 7,GG5 have passed when he arrives at maturity. Counting that he has fifty years of service in him, and that he is active until 71, he passes 18,250 days in that period, and has 2,995 days remaining. Counted in days that does not seem very long, nor is it. Yet 24 such lives following each other would reach back to the birth of the savior. Two such lives would reach back :!0 years beyond the birth of the republic and five such would place one almost back to the time when Columbus discovered America. The execution of the Irish rebels has stirred Ireland as it has not been stirred for years, and indignation is running so high that the courts martial were ordered stopped until further notice. The culminating act was the shooting of Editor Skeffington without trial. Thous ands of letters have been sent Asquith protesting against further execution of rebels. The attempt to put down with an iron hand may result in digging up, instead, some real serious trouble. A number of senators, are opposed to Brandeis as a member of the supreme court, and so the senate is hold ing an investigation as to his fitness for the place. This may be proper enough, but what would the result be if the senators themselves had to pass an examination as to their qualifications? It is a safe hazard that quite a num ber of them would not now be passing upon the merits of Mr. Brandeis had they been "investigated." Six tickets to the republican national convention have been sold for $1,000. Evidently the purchasers are ex pecting some show, with entirely new stunts on the pro gram. The managers of the republican convention are having the seats of the delegates upholstered so they can be comfortable in case a deadlock occurs, and this is evi dently expected. Recently Lieutenant Robert Fay, formerly of the German army, was sentenced to serve- eight years in prison for conspiring to blow up munition ships of the allies with fire bombs. In passing sentence Judge Howe said among other things: "The fact that there was war in Europe did not mean the law was not in force in America. The Mexican situation is pretty thoroughly shown in the statement made bv Obrecon soon after the conference was concluded vestcrdav. He said: "Carranza saved me i Went trades and occupations started over from myself. lie knows I am a fool, and had he accepted i There were GO trades and professions represented, and the American-agreement I would have been a dead cock; nmone: other features was 25,000 women. The affair was If preparedness leads to peace, then it is Certainly a good thing. It is rather paradoxical though, that this brines the advocates of big armies and navies regardless of cost, and the advocates of peace at any price, at last into the same boat, for the object of preparedness is after all, "peace regardless of cost." That was some parade in New York today when 150,- 000 marched through the streets, 11,000 passing a given point during each hour of the parade. There were no banners or streamers and the parade starting at 9 ::50 lasted until 10 at night.

V BLOWING IT IN Of all the divers brands of joy that make our journey sunny, of all the bliss without alloy, there's none like spending money; It's well to put away a wad, against the rainy weather, it's well, when hard times are abroad, to have some coins together. But when you've salted down a roll of sesterces and talents, then, to invigorate your soul, go out and blow the balance. Don't let the saving habit grow, until you are a miser; salt down a part, a portion blow that policy the wiser. I like to tod dle to the bank and put some bones in pickle; I like to save, but I'm no crank on t saving every nickel. I like to take the extra plunk, and to the mart go flying, and buy a "ii n i i i. J... a. l .: ti;k4- at close to .fL',.ilMl,(MMl.

Tlint is inst Carranza s position too. lne ignorant Mexicans would have turned against him and he would have lost his job. It shows also the kind of patriot ism that pervades Mexico. Carranza and Obregon would rather see their country plunged into war than to have some other take their places as leaders. They are too short sighted to see that if war comes Ihey will not only lose their leadership but will be so placed by the Amer icans that neither of them can even crop up as candidates for the presidency when the first election is held for the purpose of restoring the government. However the matter is now out of Obregon's hands and it is between Carranza ami the administration. In the meanwhile there is danger of a clash at any moment that will send the fat into tlie fire, and start the con flagration.

It looks like a pretty large addition to be added to a city by so small a vote. However those thrifty little towns in eastern Oregon have a rapid growth coming, especially if the Strahorn road becomes a reality. A sale of wool at Pendleton brought the record price in spite of the lack of tariff. It may be claimed this was due to the war.
