RITzvILLE, NOVEMBER 7, 1900.
AMERICAS CHOICE.

The nation has spoken. The ver-
dict OF the people has been given.
The policy of the United States has
been settled for the next four years.
1t was not a mere party triumph. 1t
was not mere republican victory
over democracy. The past has seen
national elections which meant little
more than an apportionment OF offices.
The election OF 1900 is full OF meaning.
The American people were offered a
choice OF policies not merely on one
great issue, but on many, They have
made their choice and they have
chosen we'll.
They have chosen four years more
of honest labor, of busy factories, of
advancing wages, of steady growth Of
industry in all lines except receiver
ships, soup houses and sheriff's sales.
They have decided that the Philip
pine islands shall not be handed over
to Aguinaldo's band of assassins and
foot racers-that the American flag
shall not be hauled down before the
fire Of rebels. They have said that
they will take charge of the destinies
OF the far-away islands and pledge
themselves to lift up the people to
a higher plane of civilization, guaran-
teeing to them the largest measure of
self-government for which the Filipino
is fitted, with increasing indepe IL
dence as they gain increased light.
They have said they want no short
dollars, but will hold to the policy of
increasing the circulation by coming
dollars that are worth 100 cents in
every corner Of the world.
They have repeated their former
decision that American goods are to
continue to control American mar
kets and protected by the old reliable
Tariff system, shall continue to reach
put for the markets OF the world.
They have refused to be terrified by
straw stuffed scare crows labeled elm
oerialism" and "Miliatarism," and
nave renewed their pledges OF faith in
The United States soldier as brave
md enlightened patriot, the true st
friend OF liberty in all the world.
They have taught a lesson to the
democratic party that this nation has
little use for an organization that
trades and traffics 3n calamity, relies
IN distress for succor and rejoices in
strikes, lockouts aud business failures.
They have said to the world that the
nation stands solidly behind the pres
dent who freed Cuba, who demanded
the open door in China, who waits
ior the leadership of no foreign coun-
ny in choosing his policy, and who
yields to none in his skillful and
triumphant diplomacy.
The nation has chosen, and it ha,
chosen well.

Many sections OF the west are be-
ginning to reap the bitter fruits Of
forest destruction. A few years ago
the snow would drift, and pile up in
the mountain gulches, thickly studded
with pine and other trees, forming an
almost impenetrable forest protection,
and there gradually melt away, sup
plying water for the streams until
late in the season. This, now, has
too often changed. The timber has
gradually, but surely, been cut and
burnt away, until now some OF the
finest forests Of the mountains have
disappeared, and where the snow
banks would remain until late in the
season, they now disappear months
earlier, and instead of melting grad
ually, the fiood-waters come with a
rush, and then cease when most
needed There is scarcely anything
more important than forest protec-
5ion and preservation, which means u
guarding of the water supply, and
every state and section should rouse
to active local organization and
notional cooperation.

Now that election is over (the blow
did not kill us) we can again settle
down to the peaceful pursuits OF our
calling and again give our readers the
local news in full without politics. For
this we, as we'll as our readers, are
thankful. But there is one thing we
wish to emphasize and that is, that it
takes the cooperation OF the readers
of paper to make it genuine sue
cess locally. The editor of news
paper when he is reporter, solicitor,
pioof reader, type-setter, ad and make
up man, will of course get some news
ii he tries hard enough (sets up and
works all night) and make his paper
newsy to degree, but unless his
readers take an interest in seeing that
the local happenings Of his family or
neighborhood is given to the reporter
there will be many good items missed.
For this reason we want you to help
us. We not only desire our friends in
town to give us the news but we want
active correspondents from every
neighborhood. This will be highly
appreciated. We will furnish station
cry SO that correspondents will not be
out anything except very little time
and we will mail the News regularly

Seven years ago, says an exchange,
a farmer hung his vest in the barn
yard, and calf chewed the pocket, in
which was gold watch. One day
the animal, a staid old COW, was
butchered for beef, and the watch was
found in such position between the
lungs OF the COW that the process fof
respiration-the closing and the fill
ing of the lungs-kept the stem
winder wound up, and the watch had
lost but four minutes in the seven
years. Skeptics are shown the watch
in evidence of the truth of the story.
How can they get.over that.

Friends and Success.

A man must possess the faculty Of
winning the confidence of other men
and making them his friends if he
would be successful in any way: This
faculty, or gift, is born with some.
They touch sympathetic chord in
every one they meet, are given hear
ing when more worthy men are turned
away, and succeed along their chosen
lines when men Of immensely greater
ability plod along on foot.
Ii we say they possess tact, we only
half express it, Tact is saying and
doing the right thing at the right
time to the right person. That pre-
vents plumbers that would make
enemies, but does not necessarily
make friends. Tact is the form, but
the feeling lies deeper down. To
make friends, tact must be present,
but the man must also be constit uted
so that he can find real pleasure in
doing favor for those whom he
likes.
The friendship of man who gives
OF everything he has to every casual
acquaintance, possesses no particular
value. The young man who is making
his way through the world, depending
upon his energy, industry and intelli-
gence to lift him higher, must culti-
vate the study of mankind. If he is
not student of mankind he is
doomed to failure, for he is just as
unfortunate if he trusts too readily as
if he distrusted without cause.
Cheap, cynical sneerings at human
ity tend to weaken mans influence
with his associates and make him I'M
pleasant to himself. The greatest
source of success OF youth is its I'M
limited hopefulness. Success is just
around the corner; in few years at
most she will be overtaken; then
comes ease and luxury The great
majority of those in the race never
catch glimpse OF her robes, but the
ones who lag furthest in the rear are
those who had so little confidence
in winning success, that their man
ners became SO unsympathetic or for
bidding that the men who could and
would have helped them RETAINED.
