Blake's Farewell to His Party.

Attorney Joseph M. Blake has an
nounced that he intends to follow the
fortunes of the Republican party here
after for the reason that there is no
difference between the parties except
upon the tariff question in which he
agrees with the Republican view
This position of Mr. Blake is testi-
mony in aid of the contention that the
old issues between the two great par
ties Of this country has been lost
sight of in a maze of minor matters.
The vital issue between the two great
| parties always has been and is today
the principle as to whether power de-
scends from the individual or ascends
from the masses, whether labor de-
pends upon capital or wealth upon
Drawn. In fact whether the principles
of monarchial or Republican govern
ment shall prevail.
From the time of Hamilton down the
Republican party has been dominated
by those who believed in the taking
care of the classes and the classes
should take care of the masses. The
tariff theory of the Republican party
was designed to give protection to
wealth and that the beneficiaries
would provide for the people. The
dinner pail argument was used and
starvation threatened IL the policies of
the party were not upheld. Opposed to
this has stood the Democracy, a
party composed of individuals bound
together by a common desire to resist
the encroachment of wealth upon the
liberties of the people. The time may
come when the sacrifices made by the
individual members of this great or
ganization will be appreciated and
their Affiliations to principle as
against the allurements of gain win
cause them to leave heritage great
er than that which money could pur-
chase.
If Mr.. Blake believes In a
strong central government he could
not have chosen a more opportune
time to change his politics. President
Roosevelt has revived the creed OF
Hamilton in a way that has surprised
the most ardent Of his followers, CIV
ing new life to dangers the country
had hoped to know no more and Of
fering new dangers not dreampt OF
through all these years of repose His
conduct in the floating" of the Pan
anna republic. his ruthless disregard
of public sentiment In the south, his
dictorial assumption of authority In
every department of the public service
have sufficed to show the people that
his idea of government is Imperialism,
thNt he regards brute force as the
equivalent Of right and his will as the

The Harrison county Democrat, COM
menting upon the burning of the in
firmary in that county as the result of a
defective flue, says some pretty good
things. The building was a new one.
After advocating the rebuilding of the
structure, the paper says;
but We would be in favor of
hiring a man to stand over the masons
with a club to see that they build
chimneys without defective fues."
That is one of the principal troubles
in the erection of public buildings. AS
a rule there are no inspectors ON the
work, and IL they are there is too often
collusion between contractors and the
inspector, and not infrequently the pub
lie servants who let the contracts are
in the DEAL The result is that any
kind of workmanship and material goes
and the public in the end is the one
that suffers II is source OF constant
wonderment why 1t is that men who
are honest in everything else fall into
temptation when 1t comes to doing
business with the public. Contractors
seem to think it religious duty te
shirk as much as possible. and the
thing has become SO common that peo'

That Jonas Cook, of Oklahoma,
should announce himself an an In
ventor of a flying machine is a sur
prise to the people in this vicinity who
know him. He was of a serious, dig
nified turn and little given to chatting.
He was formerly from the vicinity of
Oneida, down on the edge OF Carroll
county and one of the most prominent
educators in the section. The proba-
bility is that he is the victim OF some
newspaper correspondent. However, if
Jonas says he can fly, the probabilities
are that he can. He is brother of At
tcrney Allen Cook, of this city, who
has too great an avoirdupois to soar
except oratorically, or when he goes
up in the air in a game of base ball.

The Russian government is reaping
the reward of ages of oppression of
its people. No country can persistent
ly oppress its subjects and then have
them loyal in time of trouble. The as
sasslnation of rulers is the natural re.
suit. The only surprise is that the
anarchists of the cars dominion have
not gotten busy sooner.

The American public is nothing II
not critical. 1t seems to be one of the
prerogatives of the people to criticise
everything and everybody. That old
Latin saying, THE voice of the peo-
pie is the voice of God" if adhered
to would place the Creator in the
light of condemning many things
that are good. A hero today is con-
demned tomorrow A trained athlete
while he holds the championship is a
demigod. If he loses in a contest by
hairs breadth, he is cast away and
the praises of the man who vanquish-
ed him are sung. Nothing secondary
is wanted in the popular acclaim. A
ball team wins and is cheered until
the air is full of salvos. 1t loses,
and Kisses and catcalls are its por-
tion. A man rides on the top wave
OF popularity He makes one misstep
and he is undone forever. A wise
horseman once said, Keep your eye
on these horses that are coming in
second all the time. Some day they
will be cut loose and then look out for
the pool boxes" He was wiser than
his generation. The public kept right
on backing the favorite until one day
the second horse was first and the tai.

Cleveland, o., July 2S.-The common

Judge Phillips held that a baby buggy
