I THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNUE , FRIDAY , FEBRUARY 28 , 1908. The Leading Candidate. Under the above heading , the Independent , a strong New York weekly magazine , in its issue of Feb. , 13 , 1908 , discusses editori ally the republican presidential situation as follows : We made mention last week of the extraordinary unanimity with which our correspondents had expressed their enthuastic ap proval of President Roosevelt's policies. The Chicago Tribune has now received about six thous and replies to questions as to the issues and candidates before the people , and has found the same unanimity. This is not so strange in the latter case , for that journ al may be supposed to find its clientele mainly in the North Central States , while our circu lation is widely distributed over the country , and not least in these Eastern States , where there is great difference of view , if we were to judge from the leading journals. But there is very little difference of view among the 2T people. They take no stock in the "Roosevelt" panic. In this city the Times , Sun and Evening Post , not to speak of the sensa tional morning journal , are strongly in opposition , and the Tribune is cooly loyal. But they do not represent the people ; they represent their owners. And it is equally remarkable that the larger portion of the democrats are as emphatic in their approval of the President's policies as are the republicans. Indeed , it is not easy to see how the platforms of the two parties can differ , except as one will say protection , while the other will say revenue , and both agree for about the same revision of the tariff. But the tariff is not the | | issue. The issue is the governmental - mental control of corporate activ ities in interstate traffic ; and these all agree , except the few who declare that it is the Presi dent who created the panicAs to issues we seem to have come to a period of harmony , though not an "era of good feeling , " likt that at the time of President Monroe. What then , does this mean as to the selection of Presidential [ | candidates ? It means that the republicans are sure to nominate a man who will claim to repre sent Mr. Roosevelt's policies. That is settled. It means the democrats will do the same. But it also means that those who op pose these policies will work underhand and seek the nomi nation of a candidate who will be in favor of the policies and laws , but against their execution. They will seek a "safe" man , a ' "conservative" man , a man with a less "erratic" imd "sensational" temper and tongue than the pres ent incumbent of the office. They will then compare the records of | candidates , the temper of their language on these subjects. The - < j - democrats will divide between a man like Mr. Bryan , whom the advanced wing will follow , while the conservatives will ask a man like Judge Gray , who will draw off the conservatives from the republican ranks' . Equally the republicans will divide between a candidate who is positively pledged to the present policy of control , and one whose support of it will be lukewarm and in effective. Who shall it be ? President Kooscvelt believes tlfat Mr. Taft would carry on his work , and wishes his nomination. We sco no reason why a president should be forbidden to take an active interest in the selection of his successor , so long as he does not employ Latin-American meth ods of ensuring his selection and election. The fact that the presi- lent's choice is for Taft will be a strong influence in his favor. The people believe in Koosevelt , and will believe in the man he believes in. In his speeches Mr. Taft has made his position per fectly clear and positive. There is no discount there. This is of essential importance. Then two other things may be added , ex perience and character. His char acter is not simply beyond flaw , but from the beginning of his student life he has been noted for his high sense of honor , his avoidance of anything low or questionable. His experience has been beyond that of any other candidate in just those fields of service which will occupy our next President. lie is a consum mate lawyer , often spoken of tor chief justice of the supreme court , and has had that long judicial experience which gives weight and judgment. As secretary of war he has conducted in an admir able manner the development of our colonial possessions. He has been colonial secretary more than secretary of war , and next to the internal question of control of corporations the control of our colonies in by far the most im portant business of our National Government. W c desperately need a wise and strong man like Taft to see to it that the same sort of men who would monop olize our means of production and traffic do not exploit our colonial possessions to the injury and oppression of their inhabit- ants. We want a man who , like Taft , has shown his sympathy with the people , and has no patience with the racial antagon ism which endangers our relation with them. It is a tremendous advantage which Mr. Taft has , that he has developed self-govern ment in the Philippines , prosperity and good will in Porto Rico , has been benevolently disposed to the people of Cuba , and has en sured the success of the Isthmian Canal and of the little American territory through which it passes. We do not mean in this at all to minimize the pre-eminent work of the president , but in all these matters , by his management am by his presence he has done 2 marvelous service , which certifies what he would do as president. It is for these reasons that the people trust him. GREAT PUBLIC SALE !

Alodern Educators "It makes no difference how : nany or what magazines or books you mny rend , the undisputed foot remains that the daily newspaper the real educator of the people , " the Fort Smith ( Ark.Record. ) "The daily newspaper stands lilone. Its editor faces all classes of people , both good and bad , and 10 priest , physician or attorney , jver gets as close to the good side ot humanity as does the editor , who , he regrets to state , also sees human nature without its maskin , ill its baseness , as neither eon- essor , physician or lawyer ever : loes. " Hie late Rev.Dr. Talmago once snid with more force and truth than oven he appreciatedthat 'the editor's room was the disrobing room for all humanity , ' and he ulded , 'I often wonder that all editors are not atheists. ' 'The editor of your daily news paper , having the honesty of his convictions , is not drawn from his conception of what is right simply because you withdraw from him your little subscription or your advertising patronage , or even your friendship. "While the editor desires to re tain all three , he would much prefer fer to lese them rather than to sacrifice his liberty of action and his right to pursue the course which brains , thought and charac ter determine. "Editors are not always men o ! education , that is to say they are not graduates from some prominent nont university , but they have been trained in the hard and bit ter school of experience , wheren they bumped up against the pol ished college gradnatetho Judnsei of wealth and influence , and the untutored simple men and wonu1 of every day life ; and from then they learned how to measure hu inanity. "Your Lome newspapers deserve your cordial support. They nro entitled to your criticisms , am they invite your thoughts. "Your homo newspapers come to you with the expressions of mei whom you know and who cour your confidence. If they err they would like to learn it from yoni lips. "The editors of your local news papers speak for the city and fo you. They are required to faci every proposition and every kind of an argument. They try t < give you what they , as publi mouthpieces , believe to be right "Your home papers come to yoi broadly. They discuss questions in which yon have n personal in terest , and as n rule they present the facts , no matter how distaste ful they may bo to you , even at thu risk of perhaps a lifelong com panionship. "Individuals , acting for themselves - selves strive to accomplish what they believe to bo right. True , they may be netuated by honest motives , but representing as they do only an individual position they are naturally influenced by what their associations and interests suggest. "These individuals do not stand before thy limelight of public opinion , and which expects a de claration covering every phase of every feature of a proposition. "That position is given to the editor of your daily nowspnper , find he must view a question from every side , and then give the people ple the truth ; and he docs it , too , notwithstanding the flings of the croaker and trouble-maker to the contrary. "Yes , the daily newspaper is n universal educator , and the man or woman who does not find time to each day spend an hour in a enroful perusal of a homo news paper is doing himself or herself n grave injury , nml at the same time is unfitted to properly rear children or oven instruct children as a common public school teacher.

His father and mother , who live near Falls City , were both taken quite ill with the grip. One of the neighbors telegraphed him to come home , lie did so and the next week four cases of small pox broke out in the college. lie lacked only a month to complete his course , but his coming home was just in time to prevent any risk of taking small pox. Merrill News. Expert Will Come The department of agriculture has definitely nrrnnged to send an expert to Nebraska to act in conjunction - junction with the Nebraska ex periment station , so far HB possi ble , in advising with Nebraska farmers who desire to become familiar with the advanced meth ods of selecting seeds and the cul ture of crops. Similar work wne carried on last year to n lim ted extent , and wherever this was done there was n material increase in the yield. The increase in the appropria tion necessary to onihlo the do- ptirtmenl of agriculture to per manently locale an export in Ne braska , was secured through the efforts of Congressman Pollard , and any fiinner who desires to co operate in the demonstration , can do so by sending hin name and address to Congressman Pollard. iVuburn Republican , Full Line of Emblem Cards.
