LONGSHOREMEN MAY WIN STRIKE
Apparently the longstoremen's strike is likely to be
won by the men. When the demand for increased wage
was made the employers did not pay it the scant courtesy
of a reply. They were told unless some arrangement was
made the strike would be called, but they ignored the
warning. They claimed the raise demanded was prepos
terous, and unreasonable. That the shippers or ship own
ers could not pay the price asked without facing bank

WORK UP 1
The Sunday Oregonian discussing the outlook at
Chicago and the political situation very frankly says:
"The republican candidate for president must have the
approval and support of Theodore Roosevelt to win in the
coming campaign. Some of the aspirants, it may frankly
be said, could not succeed with Roosevelt's indorsement.
Any of them will be beaten without it."
Our big contemporary has the situation sized up cor
rectly, only it might have added that any of them will
probably be beaten with or without Roosevelt's indorse-!
nient.
Taking the Oregonian's digest of the situation as cor
rect, we have the spectacle of a man bigger than the
republican party. A man who tells five or move millions
voters of the United States that they can not have ttoj
president they want, because he will not let them. A man
who tells at least half the citizens of the United States
that they cannot have a president of their party unless
they let him name him, and at the same time name him
self for the place. The leaders of the party, or the alleged
leaders, may stand for this kind of dictation. They may
submit to having the party's nose pulled, its face slapped
and it beaten into submission. They may submit to any
thing because they are politicians and are after power, no
matter how it is secured. They may do this, but the rank
and file of the republican party will not.
They are free born and cannot be tyrannized over by
Colonel Roosevelt or any other man. The day of the
political boss has passed both in state and national elec
tions, and the voter can no longer be herded to the polls,
given a ticket and be scared into voting it. Colonel Roose
velt seems determined to force the party to give him the
nomination. He knows the evident desire of the masses
for Hughes as their candidate, but like Var.derbilt, he
takes the "Public be damned" position and tells the party
delegates who were elected on the promise to support a
certain candidate that they must not obey the voters who
so instructed them but must take their orders from him.
His idea seems to be that once the nomination is se
cured it is up to republicans to either vote for him or a
democrat. He is right on that but there are many good
sjihstaintial renublicans who with only this choice, will vote
for the democrat rather than the man who threw down
the party that made him president for nearly eight years,
and who then refused to permit it to make its own choice
for president.
The Colonel's position boiled down is expressed in the
three words: "Rule or Ruin."
The national weather bureau has evidently ordered
the weather for the week after reading the dispatches
from Chicago. It predicts: "Normal temperatures in
most every part of the United States for the first part of
the week." For the last half it predicts: "Thunder
storms and showers for almost every section except the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states." In other
words it will be fair until the republican, progressive and
women's party conventions meet in Chicago, and then
there will be storms. Maybe for once the weather bureau
is right.
Most of the big shipping companies in San Francisco
have come through and the others will. The lumbermen
on the sound are still holding out although they a few
days ago voluntarily raised the price of lumber one dol
lar. If it was right for them to demand and get more for
their product why should not the laborer be entitled to do
the same?
tend to speak; but it is also a fact that freight rates of all
classes of ocean transportation have increased from three
to six times what they were before the war, yet wages of
the dock workers have not been advanced. It would seem
from this that the claim the employers could not stand a
raise of wages is not tenable.
With several times the receipts of a year or two ago
for the same carriage, labor has not received any share of
the increased income. It would seem the shipping class
wanted all the increased rates and not only that but to
really pay their laborers less. The high cost of transpor
tation has added to the cost of living and so while the em
ployers were still paying their men the old wage, consid
ered from its purchasing power the wage was really smal
ler than before the war.

A second Roosevelt headquarters was opened at Chi
cago today. This is perfectly proper, he being a candi
date before two conventions. It recalls a story of a cer

said officer had never accomplished anything, and now
the reason was plain; "he evidently did not know the dif
ference between headquarters and hindquarters."
Will H. Haye's, manager of the Fairbanks candidacy,
has announced that until the selection of a candidate has
been made the Fairbanks' headquarters will keep "open
house?" and invites all the delegates to come in and make
themselves at home. Should the weather turn real warm,
as Chicago weather has a habit of doing free ice water
becomes a great attraction. It may turn the trick. Dele
gates should go early for it is probable the door will close
as soon as the winning ballot has been announced.
One more day and the Elephant, Bull Mose and Giraf
fes will be busy at Chicago. It is sure some menagerie.
When this show is over the Democratic Donkey will do a
few stunts at St. Louis and then it will be up to the
speilers and the voters. Big business will also have a
hand in the game if all accounts are correct.
Saturday was preparedness parade day, and was pret
ty widely observed. Chicago had upwards of 130,000 in
her parade, outnumbering New York's big turn out.
Portland had 15,000 and smaller towns in proportion.
What it all amounts to and what results, if any, it will
have remains to be seen.
A force of men were busy all day Saturday at Chicago
converting a confectionery store into headuartqers for
Root. It may be his supporters think him the candy kid,
but at this distance it looks as though he was after the
indorsement of the ladies of the woman's party conven
tion.
The army bill is now a law, the president signing it Sat
urday. Under it the regular army will have "JOG.OOO men
and the militia 421,000. The regular force may be kept
below its maximum strength during peace times at the
discretion of the president, ami in time of war can be in
creased to 2.-.0.000.
The management of the big convention has opened a
barber shop on the main floor. Is this a slam at Hughes
or just an invitation?
Fiftv caddies of the Waverly links at Oregon City
went on strike Saturday afternoon demanding a raise of
wages from 20 to 2") cents an hour. Ihe sheriff was
called to the links but thinks it will not be necessary to
call out the troops.

Most Richty- Flavored Chew
That Was Ever Pressed
Into Plugs
FAVORITE FOR A GENERATION
Red-blpoded men with real tobacco
hunger find that they can satisfy it only
by chewing, and the most wholesome
and satisfying tobacco to cliew is that
made in plug form.
The limit of luxury in tobacco chew
ing is the rich, sweet, juicy flavor that
trickles through your system when you
chew Spear Head.
No other chewing tobacco is so mel
low, so luscious and so satisfying. No
other equals Spear Iead for putting a
keen edge on your appetite.
Spear Head is made of the world's
best tobacco leaf the choicest of red
Kentucky Eurley. This leaf is selected
for its full, juicy richness with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand, is pressed into Spear Head plugs
so slowly that not a drop of the rich,
natural juice escapes.
Your first chew of Spear Head will
open your eyes to the genuine enjoy
ment there is in chewing.
'Chew the rich and mellow tobacco
that has been the favorite for a third
of a century that's Spear Head. , In

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
Frtiidiitt Amirican Sociitj for Thrift
it
"There are1
two ways of
being happy;
we may either
diminish our
wants, or aug
m e n t our
means either
will do the
result is the
same ; and it
is for each
man to decide
for himself,
and do that
which hap
pens to be the
easiest, says Benjamin Franklin.
Ill you are idle, or sick, or poor,
however hard it may be to diminish
jyour wants, it will be harder to aug
ment your means. If you are active
and prosperous, or young, or in good
health, it will be easier for you to
augment your means than to dimin
ish your wants. But, if you are wise,
.you will do both at the same time,
young or old, rich or poor, sick or
well ; and, if you are very wise, you
will do both in such a way as to aug
ment the general happiness of so
ciety." : The hardest thmg about saving
money is making a beginning. We
are always "going to," like the small
boy. But every cent of this -week's
Salary has been spent before it was
tamed and every cent of next week's
nikewise. The following week, how
ever, if we should have any of our
Salary left, we will save ft. It is
more than likely, however, tliat it will
never be saved,
The onlyway to save is to decidt
upon the very highest amount that
can be spared from your salary and
on each pay day, before you have I
chance to do anything else with youi
money, take out this certain sum au
put it away. Then make yourselt
live within the remainder. Peophi
are paid for their labor or for what
they produce by their labor. But t
time will come when they can no
longer work. This period should b
prepared fqr when a person is young
and well and has employment. Thei
in old age there will be something tf
show for the previous years of hard
work and the rest and happiness and
freedom from care which should lis
the accompaniments of old age will
have been secured and honestlj
earned.
There Is another reason why peo
plo should save money; and that is
that its possession will enable them
to do good to others. The satisfac
tion gained from being able to giva
substantial aid to others when re are
called upon to do 50 i3 immeasurable :
or to lend money to some one who
needs a little capital to become uc
cessful himself. The rich and gcn
crous men of this country, who made!
their own moncv and pent less thaii
they made, probably have got mort
satisfaction out of being able to ew
dow universities, build libraries, gi?e
large amounts to art galleries and
charitable institutions and improve
the condition of workers than in
making any other use of their money;
To be able to help others is worthi
all the effort required of us to raise)
ourselves from small beginnings and)
insignificant situations.

Get up, my lad! The sun is risin.tr, it is a most maiestic
clay; Aurora's beauties are surprising, you should be glad,
to quit the hay. Get up, get up, the dew is gleaming, like
priceless jewels on the grass; it is a sin to
he here dreaming, while morning's trans
ient glories pass. Get up. mv soiuthe licht
is stealing athwart the summit of the hill,
and I can hear the porkers squealing for
buckets of refreshing swill. The oriole's
already soaring, the mocking bird begins to
mock, ana you, O sluggish youth, are snor-j
ing, although it's nearly four o'clock! When;
I was young my sainted father ne'er had to:
rouse me from my bed; I thought it shame;
to cause sucn bother I rse betove the hast
was red. Before the wren began its carols, or cat-bird
raised its solo fine, I went and carried seven barrels of slop
to feed the humpbacked swine. I went about my labors
singing, as I would see you do, my son; and when the,
breakfast bell was ringing, the morning chores were al-!
ways done. Get up, get up,. the world Is waking! The;
morn is grand, but soon it lades! And in three shakes I
