They Were All "Accidents. "
he Long Pine ( Neb. ) Journal ,
a republican paper , referring to
Senator Dietrich , says : "He was
a political accident ; the republi
cans of Nebraska are not responsi
ble for him , and his eclipse is a
matter of small moment to us. "
Of course , the republican party
is not responsible for the conduct
of any man it places in office or
for the results of any public policy
it may adopt provided , always ,
that the man's record is not satis
factory and the public policy re
sults in disaster.
In the olden time political par
ties were held rigidly to account
for the conduct of the men they
elected to office , and for the results
of their policies. But in these
days republican leaders would have
us believe that the republican
party may exercise the power and
authority conferred upon it by the
people , without assuming any of
the consequent responsibilities
which men have been taught to be
lieve were the accompaniments of
authority.
Of course , Dietrich was a politi
cal accident. Of course , the re
publicans of Nebraska are not re
sponsible for him. To be sure ,
they elected him lo the office of
governor and they elected him to
the higher office of United States
senator ; but they are not responsi
ble for him. He was a political
accident just like all the republi
can officials chosen in recent days.
Rathbone , Neely , Machen , Beav
ers , Heath and many other repub
lican politicians who have recently
been summoned to court to give
account of their stewardship , all
of these were political accidents ;
and even though they are repre
sentatives of the republican party ,
that party is by no means respon
sible for them !
Dietrich , the republican United
States senator ; Weston , the re
publican state auditor both of
them heralded in the year of our
'Lord 1900 as among the men who
would redeem Nebraska ; Colby ,
republican adjutant general ; Cole ,
the republican commandant at the
Grand Island soldiers1 home , all
of these were political accidents ;
and , although they were placed in
office by the republican party , the
republican party is by no means
responsible tor them !
There are things , as well as men ,
that were accidents.
The dishonest schemes relating
to the public lands under the republican - '
publican administration these. . '
were accidents. I
The fraud , the bribery , the cor
ruption , the blackmail in the post- <
office department under republican <
administration all that was acci
dent.
Tke questionable transactions
relating to government contracts
to which republican congressmen
were parties under the republican
administration that was all acci
dent.
The embalmed beef distributed
among American soldiers , concern
ing which we heard so much from
Theodore Eoosevelt , then lieuten
ant colonel of volunteers that was
"all 'accident.
.Thfi cjindals. relating to the purchase - s
chase of vessels during the Span- \
ish-American war and under rea
"publican ' administration : they t
were all accidents. e
R It was an accident when , under d
the republican administration , M. v

knows , may never have visited
Kansas City , was carried on the
pay-rolls of the government as
cashier at the Kansas City postof-
fice ; and there were a number of
other "accidents" of similar charac
ter when it was discovered that the
republican administration would
permit such practices.
Of course , one would dislike to
run the risk of being arrested on
the charge of treason ; and yet , in
the presence of all these "acci
dents , " relating to republican officeholders
fice-holders and republican policies
one might be tempted to suggest
that when a party shows that it is
incapable of avoiding such k'acci
dents" as these , it is about time
the American people retire that
party from power.
We desire it to be distinctly un
derstood , however , that we do not
make this suggestion in a formal
way. We know there are those
who believe that , although the
republican party pillage and steal
from the government ; although
the republican party permits the
trusts and the representatives of
special interests to pray upon the
people ; although the republican
party repudiates in its policies the
purest traditions and highest prin
ciples of our government , the re
publican party can do no wrong ;
and to men like these , who have
repeatedly admitted that they are
"the best thinkers of the country , "
we by no means desire to give
offense. Hence , the thoughts that
surge uppermost in the mind at
this moment will not be given ex
pression . WorldHerald. .
