We waat to say again, there has
not been a single solitary death in
Colasabos or its vicinity from any con
tagioas disease, for several years.
Either the cases are much milder than
in former years or the science of
asedicine has advanced greatly, or
both. It is certain no person need
fear coming to Columbus. At one
time there were about twenty-five
houses under quarantine, but now
there are only five cases, and all very
light
We are quite aa admirer of Senator
Forakef of Ohio. He is fearless and
able, bat he should be satisfied at this
time with a re-election as United States
senator, aad let ' the republicans of
Ohio endorse Secretary Taft as their
presidential nominee. He cannot pre
vent it, no matter how much he tries.
He can only create dissension In the
republican ranks, which means no
good for him nor to any republican
leader in Ohio. 1 is always bad pol
icy to play dog in the manger. Sena
tor Foraker should-be above that.
The- inancisl panic is, considered
practically over. Banks all over the
coaatry are paying out cash on all
dt meads Cashier's checks are a
thing of the past! Here in Columbus
aad Platte county such certificates
were never made use of, the ready
cash was paid out on all demands.
But if we want confidence restored
completely we must begin with that
like it is told us of charity, we must
begin at home. We must have confi
dence ourselves aad not hoard money.
With good crops tfnd good prices,- Ne
braska should not materially feel any
Wall street eastern panic.
It seems that while the last Ne
braska state legislature passed a state
wide primary law, it made no provis
ion for the paying of the expenses of
it for this year, and the state central
committees will have to call party con
ventions to select delegates to their
national conventions. We are free to
any that we are not grieved over this
condition of affiurs, on the contrary we
are glad of it .If a state convention
elects our four delegates at large, they
will be four of our greatest and best
sen, representing the wishes of the
people and the various sections of the
state, aad the same will be true of the
delegates selected from the six con
groBHoaal district conventions.
There is nothing to be gained for
Columbus by its newspapers or
its' people to abuse or speak ill
of the management of the
Union Pacific railroad company, but
we would like to see the Union Pacific
managfwirat come here and examine
the conditions themselves. Taking
mto consideration the business the
Union Pacific transacts daily in our
town, the management can see at a
glance that the depot facilities are al
together too small, and the office force
at the depot is altogether too small.
The hnsinew oi the Union Pacific in
this city is large enough to entitle us
to a regular ticket agent. There
ahoald be somebody at the ticket office
to sell tickets and answer civil ques
tions. As it is, the telegraph operator
is also the ticket agent d we all'
know what that nwans. When the
tram dispatcher calls him, he must
leave all other business, no matter how
urgent and attend to the call. We
havenofiudt to find with' the Union
PScifie employes at the depot they
nut hi long hours and give the best
service they can, out we feel that pro
per investigation the management
would aee its way clear to give Colusa
has hatter service. Our Commercial

Is there, naturally, any asan more
interested in the character aad quality
of the next president of the United
States than Theodore Koosevelt is? Is
there anyone under greater obligation
to safeguard the future of tile great re
public of which he is the head? v A
president does not outline policies and
initiate laws as mere temporary expe
dients. The chief executive addresses
a message to the last congress that
assembles during his term. It is as
much his business to advise a coatinu
ance of law enforcement as of law
enactment
The government of the United States
does not dissolve at the ead of every
four years, to be rehabilitated dariag
the next administration. A president
goes out of office but the presidency
goes on forever. The republic still
lives.
Mr. Roosevelt's policies have iavit
ed the unqualified endorsemeat'of the
people. It is recognized as a public
fact that a continuance of thoae fun
damental principles of goverameat is
essential .to the welfare of the nation.
Mr. Roosevelt would not be the nun
that he is, he would not have secured
the place in public estimation that be
holds, if it were a matter of indifference
to him whether his policies prevailed
after he left the White House. His
services have not been for himself, but
for the people.
Mr. Roosevelt could not dictate the
selection of his successor if he desired
to. What he can do and has done
is to let the people know who, in his
judgment and from his unexampled
means of information, is best fitted to
carry forward principles which they
have approved. The president's judg
ment in this has only confirmed that
of the people.
Jefferson, Madison and Jackson
afforded a revered precedeat for his
course. But if no predecessor of Pres
ident Roosevelt had ever done so,
fidelity to public welfare would de
mand that a president of the caliber
of the present occupant of the White
House should labor to bring aboot the
right choice of his successor.- Kansas

HOW PATRICK HENRY DELIV
ERIO GREAT ORATION.
Physical Impression Declared te Have
sen as Strong aa the Intel
lectualStirred Hie Hear
erate Madnsss. k
The most overwhelming of Patrick
Heary's great orations is that which
he pronounced before the convention
which met in St Jean's church at
Richmond, March 23, 1775. writes
Lyndon Orr. ia Muasey's., Already
the mutterings of war were so dis
tinct that Henry, instead of conceal
ing the facts, declared that war was
evea then on foot.
. "We must fight!" he said. "An ap
peal to arms and to the God of hosts
is ail that is left us!"
Curiously enough, even of this ora
tion there is no authentic record. Cer
tain sentences, certain stirring
phrases, were remembered by many
who were there; bat the speech as
we have it is almost'surely a restora
tion by William Wirt.- himself an elo
quent aad brilliant orator. He sup
plied the gaps In what his informants
repeated to him, piecing out their
recollections with his own vivid fancy.
But the spirit of Henry flames all
through it, and to Henry may be safe
ly ascribed such burning, sentences as
these:
"I have but one lamp by which my
feet are guided, and that Is. the lamp
of experience. I know of no way of
Judging the future but by the past.''
"Three millions of people armed. In
the holy cause of liberty, and in such
a country as that which we posses3,
are invincible by any force which our
enemy caa sead against us."
"Gentlemen may cry peace, peace,'
tint thara la in ruao"
Is life so dear or peace so sweet,
as to. be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? 'Forbid it. Al
mighty God! I know not what course
others may take; but as for me, give
me liberty or give me death!"
As in the case of all orators of the
very first rank, the physical lmpres
efoa made by Henry was as strong aa
the Intellectual. There exists a de
acriptloa of his appearance while de
livering this last great speech a de
acriptlon that came from one who
waa present at the time. It tells how,
when Henry rose and claimed the
floor, there wasan "unearthly fire
baralag ia his eyes. He commenced
somewhat calmly, but his smothered
excitement began more and more to
play upon his features aad thrill la the
tones of his voice. The teadonscof
his neck stood out white aad rigid
like whipcords. Finally, his
pale face aad glaring eyes became
terrible to look upon." The witaess.of
the scene who gave this vivid picture'
said that he himself "felt sick with
excitement.'' When the orator had
nalsaed his speech, "it seemed as if
a word from him would have led to
any' wOd explosioa of violence. Men
looked beside themselves.'
