WILLIAN RANDOLPH HEARsT.

All manner of evil things is now
being said in the newspapers about
William Randolph Hearst.
1t is urged that be is morally de
prsved-rOtten to the very "Ore.
One writer alleges that he has pol
luted the moral atmosphere from the
Pacific TO the banks OF the Nile. He
has defiled the keys TO the Golden
Gates at Sau Francisco and written
infamy upon the very pyramids of
Egypt.
Senator Csrmack, the brilliant talk.

nominated st ST. Louis We might a.

These are severe arrangements aud
il they were something unusual in
our political history would arrest in a
most startling manner the attention
of all good men and good women
throughout the land.
Very few men seeking public office
have escaped these shafts OF envy.
malice and uncharitableuess.
Search the newspapers printed dur
ing the campaign of 1854 and note
the awful things that were said about
the moral obliquIty of Grover Cleve.
land!
No pictures can be painted about
Mr.. Hearst blacker than were panied
against Mr. Cleveland in his first race
for the presidency.
The more be was berated aud his
character blsckened the more the
moral elements of the country warm
ed towards him and whatever may
be said about his political faults and
virtues il is everywhere acknowl-
edged that during his eucumbency of
the Office of president the moral
atmosphere surrounding the White
House was kept pure and indebted.
Evil tongues were Ousy long before
George Washington halIowed by his
presence the executive office and We
suppose they will be kept busy as
long as our government shall last, so
these stories about William Ran
dOlph Hearst fall upon unwilling and
needless ears.
Who is Hearst:
His father for many years held an
hOnOred seat IN the United States
senate, and since the woman who
brake the aibaster box of precious
ointment over the head of Jesus no
more sanity woman has blessed
this earth than the mother of vii.
liam Randolph Hearst.
Almost her entire fortune has been
given TO educational institutions and
charitable enterprises and as long as
devotion and unstinted |
are appreciated sll along
the Pacific slope halo Of love, sweet |
ness and reverence will attach to the |
name of Phoebe Hearst.
Can the offspring from such an |
union be totally deprayed?
The life that William Randolph |
Hearst is now living carries with it its
own denial
He graduated with honors.

A "Quiet Fourth. "

We are having "quiet Fourth
in Minneapolis, as usual.
The flrecracker, Of greater or less
resounding power, Is SCATTERING the
vibrant atmosphere and the small boy
is In his glory. That the efforts of our
local authorities to curb the racket
and din of the nations birthday has
been of any effect Is not yet apparent,
nor Is 1t likely that similar efforts will
ever produce important results.
OF course. everybody Of mature
years and sound mind is averse to all
this racket, and doubtless every father
would be glad to check the noise-mak-
ing propensities Of his excited off,
spring if he felt that his neighbor
would do the same thing. But what is
the use when the boy next door is
armed with all the noise which his six
months savings and possibly the gen
crosby Of his tndulgent dad will buy?
It has been suggested that place
ought to be set apart, somewhere re-
mote from the habitations Of men, to
which the small boy and the big one
with their crackers and bombs could
be deported on the Fourth and cor
rallied during those hours Of frenzy
which endure as long as the fireworks
last. That we shall succeed in effect

The PEOPLE Rule,

Occasionally, quite frequently in
deed, some cynic arises to tell us that
this country no longer enjoys self-gov-
eminent, that we are ruled by a boss
archy. The cynic usually states his
case so we'll, and so many OF us de-
liberately disfranchise ourselves that
we accept his remarks as law-espe-
cially as he is able to fortify them with
many instances and illustrations. We
have been told that a handful of men
determine who shall be the presiden-
tial nominees, and that the great mass
of delegates to conventions move this
way and that, say aye or no, speak or
keep their seats, accordingly as the
strings are pulled.
If the cynics are right, the last re-
publican national convention was an
exception, and perhaps it goes a long
way to prove that the cynics are
wrong. Those who rejoice in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's ascendancy and those
who deplore it join in saying that the
Chicago convention was q boss-rldden
convention-and the bosses were the
people. Such a severe critic of the
president on the one hand as Harper's
Weekly, and such a friend on the
other as Francis e. Leupp, the Wash
ington correspondent, agree that there
was comparatively little enthusiasm
among the leaders in the convention.
They did not feel so very happy. They
found that history was being made
and that they did not have much to
do with it, They were there to NOM
mate President Roosevelt not because
| they wanted to see him president
again, but because they had the man
date Of the people to give him another
term.
President Roosevelt does not suit the
average practical politician. He is not
their kind of a man. Naturally, when
the people whom they usually expect to
manage, direct them to nominate for
president a man they know they can
not manage, the politicians are not
happy. AS Mr.. Leupp points out, the
situation was rubbed into the sensi-
tive skins Of the leaders out Of a job
the undirecting directors. Mr.. Cot
ton Of Minnesota told them the party
needed the president more than the
president needed the party, and Mr.
knight Of California, told them that
they were there to do the will Of the
people by nominating Theodore
Roosevelt.
The moral of all this is that when
ever the people want anything in this
country they get 1t; that when they
want to rule, rule they do. When the
bosses boss, the people are Indifferent
or satisfied. The machinery of the
state Is still In their hands, and they
have not forgotten how to press the
animating button just because they
sometimes leave it alone until it il
covered with dust and hidden b!
cobwebs.
