THE PRESIDENT AND HIS
PLAIN DUTY.

1t is no merely partisan criti-
cism, but one in which a large
part of the Republican Party
joins, which the New York
Times brings against the Presi-
dent for his determination not
to perform what he himself call
ed plain duty" toward Puerto
Rico. The Times says:
I'VE do not recall in the his
tory of American politics an in
stance in which the President of
the United States has pursued
so openly course so contra
dictory, involving such fragrant
departure from the usually ac-
copied standard of political
good faith, with such stolid in
difference to the opinion of his
countrymen and such stubborn
silence when candid speech was
demanded by every considera-
ton of self-respect and respect
for the people,"
If President has ever turned
about so completely, SO sudden
ly, and so needlessly, will some
friend of President Mckinley
please point out who he VAST

belts gloves and neckties of
rattlesnake skin will beworn by
women this spring. We knew
the poor rattlesnake would
have to come to it sooner or
later. 1t was about the only

not wear. Think of a woman
being arrayed in a silk worm

whale bone stays, kid skin

stuffed canary birds, clam shell

NEVER MENTIONED JEFFER-
SON.

SON.
The Kansas City Times says,
in his speech last week, Gov
ernor Roosevelt grouped some
of the statesmen and warriors
who have made our history IL
lustrious by the beneficial
achievements which they per-
formed for their own and sue
ceeding generations, without
mentioning the name of Thomas
Jefferson. Not only did he fail
to classify him in the first and
second groups of the country's
great men, but he omitted alto
gether the calling of his name.
This is not to be wondered at.
An imperialist and Hamilton
ian like Roosevelt can. not re-
gard with profound and rever-
end esteem the author of the
Declaration of Independence,
the foremost champion and ex-
ponent of manhood sovereignty,
the enuhciator of the principles.
| which are the essence of free
government, that every man is
the equal before the law of
every other man. and that all
just government derives it's au-
thority from the consent of the
governed.
Mr.. Roosevelt is leader in
the political party which be-
lieves in carrying out the policy
toward weaker and inferior peo-
Piles that Great Britain was car.
rying out against this country
when it rebelled and waged war
for the immortal principles set
forth 10 the sublimest produc-
ton in the entire range of
craftsmanship which was pen
ned by Jefferson and signed by
his fellow patriots at Philadel-
phia on July 4, 1875.
Honorable Theodore Roose-
welt and those who are aligned
with him on the side of the en-
pire, of special privileges and of
trusts and syndicates, can have
but scant regard for the great
and wise statesman whose
teachings and achievements
condemn their monarchial ten
denotes and their practice of
putting greed above patriotism
and the dollar above the man.
The other day a bright young
man died near this place of
pneumonia But back of the
disease was a cigarette heart
that enabled pneumonia to do
;, it's fatal work. Cigarettes and
pneumonia. mean death. Every
young man shonld understand
this fact. -Elsberry Gazette.
