Ve must have a safe place for the county records ; we must have aVplace in which the county of ficials can do business expedi- ubusly and economically. It is uj foregone conclusion that the county will not vote bonds ; then there is only one way left for the financial agents of the county ( the board of supervisors ) to re build the court house , and they h&ve taken that way. The "r election to vote a five mill levy will be held Tuesday , March let. If 'you are in favor of keeping tfre county records in a safe and secure place you will vote for the le'v/y. If you do not care what becomes of the records , if you have no interest in the security o/ithe title to you lands , if you w'puld rather go to the expense of a { trial in district court to prove ypur own the land which ha ? been yours since you obtained your deed from "Uncle Sam" then vqte against it. This is not a question of division or anti-divi- sidn. Should the county at some future time be divided Ouster county would be compelled to pay to the new counties their pro portionate share of any county property , so you are not losing any money in voting to protect yourself against fire and robbery. We have too good an opinion of the intelligence of the voters of Cluster county to think that the question is in doubt , but some of the ultra divisioniats are so unfair us to advance the idea that if the levy is voted it will tend to delay and defeat division. There is nothing in it. The voters of the county at the last its election settled the division ques tion for a number of years sit least , and the only question be fore them now is whether .or not the county shall have a court house , or compell their county officials to do business in stalls as at present. The Tnff I.e.iilerMiip- Don't let any insurgent news paper writer tell you what 1'res ident Taft stands for. Tbi-ro is not an issue uow at tlic front in regard to which President Taft is not oti record in his own words. We never had a president who was so absolutly frank about taking the public into his con fidence. For the present Presi dent Taft should b * judged by what he savi. : A little later he may be judged by what lie ia doing. Kveutually hi- will be judged by what he hus done. The laHt judgment is the one that will count. Mr Taft's future and that of his party will be vitally involved in it. The ambitious program , to the performance of which President Taft is bending all his energy and ability , represents a com prehensive effort to redeem all the pledges of the republican platform. Possibly it would be stating the fact in more attrac- live form to say it represent eirn- est effort to complete the Hoose- velt program of progressive legislature. President Taft says that is what he is trying to do , but one need not take his word for it. There are the measures proposed by him. Analyze them , and finds that they promise de livery of the real goods. The conservative program just sub mitted can be approved by every Kobsevelt conservationist , with out dotting an "i" or crossing a "I" . In regard to interstate commerce , the rate bill adopted under Roosevelt's urging was a mere start towards the thorough going system of strict regulation proposed by Predident Taft. As to trusts , Mr. Roosevelt made it clear what he wanted to do , but never was able to decide just how he was going to do it. President Taft offers a concrete plan for regulating the trusts. His plan for voluntary federal incorporation of big interstate corporations gives promise of practicability. Under existing conditions , with the Sherman law threatening the existence of such concerns , it promises to have the same practical effect as a compulsory federal incorpora tion law. These arc the main items in the Taft program as it has been laid before congress. It is a Hoosevelt program planned in .more workable ah ape than it probably could have been planned . ' , by' President Roosevelt himself had he remained at the head of the government. Wh\le President Taft is setting his face toward the goal sought by men of rationally progressive disposition , there has been no such commotion in the ranks of "big business" as .there was when Roosevelt was carryiny the ball. There are several reasons for this. Wall street has learn ed something of the inevitability of regulation in the public inter est since the street first bawled ' 'Handsoff ! " to Roosevelt. Again the captains of industry were not so much afraid of what he might do. They are not afraid Taft will do more than he says he will do. The president has presented his plans quietly but firmly. His utterances have not tended to inflame prejudice. He has talked to business men in a lan guage they understand. They are ready to talk business quietly with him , and perhaps do busi ness on rational lines particular ly if they see no easy way of get ting out ot it. Let it be under stood , however , that Wall street would be the best pleased thor oughfare on earth if the whole structure planned by President Taft should topple into ruin. If President Taft fails to ac complish anything worth while upon the lines mapped out he will be held responsible , but the main responsibility will not be his , It will rest on the shoulders of men who shout for progress , but are found trying to set the brakes while President Taft is turning on the power. They are doing this for the most un worthy of political motives , nattily , personal ambition. They'd want to discredit the present ad- tnlnistrattloii and the present' leadership of the republican1 party in order that they may step into the leadership. Tli ir cause ; is being boosted by a crwwd of yellow publicists who pretend they arc fighting for political vistue , but who rcallv ate lighting for the joys and spoils of war. The thoughtful citizen , whether qf progressive or con servative tendency , should line up behind the president. If a rational progrcm of action , such as president has outlined , can not be carried out , popular dis satisfaction is likely to find vent not only in a change of adminis tration . , but in a change of party. If a man like Taft cannot deliver tin.- goods the temptation will be to turn for leadership to a man like Bryan. The talk of Roosevelt velt is mere chatter. Hoosevelt must stand by bis self chosen legatee . the man who is carry ing on his work. There is confusion in political affairs just now. There is likely to be vastly more confusion in politics and in business , too three years uerce if the obstruc tionists succeed in their plans for making the Taft administra tion a do-nothing administra tion and discreditug the only man who will stand any show of successful leadership of his party in 1912. Sioux City Journal. Outworn Superstitions. From time immemorial timid people have viewed the coming of cuinets as portents of evil and harbingers of disaster. Thous ands of persons have descanted upon the overflow of the Seine and other national disasters as visitations of Providence upon mortals for their sins. Even as sensible and learned a man as the pope of Rome had not scrupled to declare that the destruction was wrought by the Seine is a punishment visited by the Al mighty upon the French nation for their wicked infidelity in divorcing the s'ate and church To Americans who are accustom ed to witnessing tremendous overflows every year in one part of the country or another this grave declaration will necessarily sound unnatural if not rediculous but to thousands of devout and credulous Frenchmen it will be accepted as true as holy writ , inspired from heaven. As a mat ter of fact , the overflow of the Seine was due to world-wide natural disturbances which affect ed every country in Europe as fully if not as disastrously as they did France. Devout Spain w < s wracked with pestilence and quite as widely as France , al though the pope has seemingly overlooked the occurence. The fact is that the day of supersti tion is past and intelligent people ple understand that the con- vulsions of nature are due to natural cause and not to any per sonal manifestations of divine wrath. It would be quite as reasonable to attribute the Kans as City flood of 1903 to divine anger at the sins of the people as to ascribe the outflow of the Seine to any such cause. Kans as City Journal.
