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.

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. "

Irvin Sausman has been attend
ing the Nebraska State Agricul
tural College. 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.
