THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

The address of President Mckinley
at Buffalo Thursday was in his usual
happy vein and was one of his best
efforts. And in view of yesterday s
events it will have a peculiar attrac-
ton to the public. 1t was an address
directed solely to the people of the
United States and the American ma
tions, devoted entirely to Industrial and
commercial affairs. 1t was a plea
for commercial peace, showing most
forcibly the advantages which would
thus accrue to the American nations.
1t moreover marked we'll the breadth
of the president, showing that he has
fully kept pace with the progress of
affairs. He took strong ground in favor
of reciprocity with the nations of the
world for the purpose of advancing
our trade interests and he paid most
graceful compliment to the master
mind of James G. Blaine, when he said
that ''this exposition would have
touched the heart of that American
statesman whose mind was ever alert
and thought ever constant for larger
commerce and truer fraternity of
the republics of the new world" 1t
has been remarked that Mr.. Mckinley
had advanced much since he framed
the tariff law of 1890. So he has.
But it must be remembered that as q
nation we have made like progress. He
was not in full sympathy with the
advance move at that time for re-
ciprocity. But it should be remem ber-
ed that he was building first for our
selves as every prudent man should,
and the results have shown that he
was not as narrow as his critics
claimed. He saw further into the fu-
ture than they, and recognized the fact
that in order to reach out for the trade
of the world, we must-frst stand up
on firm foundation. That foundation
his master mind helped to build, all
unmindful of the assaults which his
opponents made upon him. He is a
man of progress, and it must have been
proud moment for him as he stood
there upon the Pan-American exposi-
tion grounds, with SO many evidences
of the overwhelming success of his
life's work. And he had right to be
proud.
And so he put forth plea for re-
ciprocity, for commercial peace. "We
must not repose in fancied security
that we can forever sell everything and
buy little or nothing" he says, and
again, "the period of exclusiveness is
past. The expansion of our trade and
commerce is the pressing problem. "
Reciprocity treaties are In harmony
with the spirit of the times measures
of retaliation are not

of our shipping interests and that the

President McKinley's address at the
Pan American exposition was one of
his strongest ones, and especially not
able because of the advanced position
he took up the question of reciprocity,
and the declaration that if the tariff
duty upon any article manufactured
here was higher than really needed for
its proper protection, it should be used
to secure better trade relations abroad.
The utterances of the president in this
respect are likely to be the keynote
of the Republican party through the
coming campaigns.

nation ought to take measures that
would result in close shipping facili-
ties with South America to further
our trade relations there, and put forth
a strong plea for the building of the
isthmian canal. The address in short
threw much light upon the line of
policy which he had in mind for the
administration to follow during the
coming months. and to the further
ance of which he would have devoted
the whole power of his master mind,
had it not been for the assassin S
bullet.

MAKE A CLEAN JOB OF 1T

The voters OF La Plnta county are
up against proposition that re
quires business method In hand
ling. 1t Is the election which takes
place next Tuesday. The same prin
ciples should govern every voter that
would govern one in the selection OF
confidential clerk, responsible
manager, or man to do any kind OF
work. In making such selection not
one of us would allow politics to enter
into the question for one moment.
This being the case why should we
allow politics to enter into the cleo
ton this fall when at no time in the
history of county has there been more
urgent demand for business methods.
The Democrats turned down those OF
their party up for reelection who had
rendered good service and named
those whose only qualification is that
they are ex-Republicans and also re-
tanned one or two of the present
county officials, one of whom at least

ling deal as vide affidavit of N. II.

What is there to induce a single tax.

would be using the best kind of bust
ness judgment to elect the entire Re
publican ticket and thus forever put
the stamp of dsapproval on the
methods employed at the Democratic
primaries and in the personnel of
the ticket. Certainly there are not
one hundred Democrats in the coun-
ty who can vote for Mccartney un-
der the circumstances and there are
not many more who care for the rest
of the candidates on the ticket.
Voters can be saved time and trouble
in scratching by writing the word Re
publican In the blank space and letting
it go at that. The Herald believes
il will rebound to the everlasting ben
eft of La Plata county if a majority
of the votes are cast thusly. Some
of our Democratic friends have been
going on the broad assumption that
with majority in the county any
kind of ticket could be put up and
elected. The Independent voter
should show that this is not the case:
that he does NOT wear a Democratic
collar. If this independence is not
exhibited this fall. the members of the
dominant party will look upon the

was this business change which The

means that his family will also quit
Boulder, fact their many friends will
seriously regret. Mr.. Rachofsky has
large interests at Durango being con.
neeted with large department store
there, perhaps the largest store of
the kind south of Pueblo. 1t is be,
cause he wants. to be at that store
that he sewers his connection with
Boulder.
Mr. Rachofsky came to Colorado in
1871 and with A. Rittmaster started
stores in Central City, Black Hawk
and Boulder under the firm name OF
A. Rittmaster & Co. They were re-
markahly successful. In 1888 Mr.
Rachofsly came to Boulder and has
been here ever since, a respected and
influential business man. In 1886 he
purchased Mr.. Rttmaster's interests
and conducted the business alone
along the lines of strict fairness tc
