HOW 1T FEELS.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.-Do you
a newspaper staff? n you do summon
to your mind the thought of small
town fire chief at the burning of a
woodshed; a dog with three RABBITS to
take care of; circus ticket seller ten
minutes before the tent opens; Jug
gler with nine double-edged swords in
the air; a pedestrian lodging snow
balls in front of ward school; a no.
vice with a brand new automobile; a
green clerk at a bargain counter; a
railroad official when you want to buy
ticket; man who has twenty min
utes to lress and catch train; get
all of these situations to your mind,
combine them and undertake the ANAL
ganated job by yourself and you will
realize to a slight degree how busy a
newspaper staff is on election night.

CHARACTER AND clRcUM.
STANCES.

New York Times. John d.
Rockefeller, jr. in his address to his
bible class on Sunday, counseled tenn
perance in the judgment and charac-
terization of men, and clinched the ar
gument with a question which admits
of being classed as an epigram: How
do you know that the man you arc
Judging today is not vastly better in
the circumstances in which he finds
himself than you would be in the same
circumstances
We do not know that this remark
was suggested by previous reading
of "Frenzied Finance" but it might
have been. Men are largely the result
of the circumstances in which they
find themselves placed. They NAV be
extremely bad and merit characteri-
cation as dangerous from ever point of
view; but that they fit their environ
ment is shown by the fact that they
remain in it, and are not constantly
displaced and forced to seek new re-
lations. The environment may not be
admirable; to avail ones self of its
opportunities and discharge its COM
pick obligations may require that he
make his heart as a milestone and set
his face as "a flint, cheat and be
cheated" In characterizing such men
and describing their doings it will not
manner
of man one would be and how one
would act If he found himself so sit
uated and in such an environment of
utter selfishness, possessed by the lust
of gain, which Is as controlling and
almost as maddening as the blood OF
lust.
1T may also be profitable to reflect
that when the enterprising burglars
not a-burging,' or his Wall street con-
gener planning frenzied finance he has
a human side which is amenable to
good influence and that he is often
moved to do good with the wealth he
has acquired by means which those
who do not acquire it deem extremely
questionable or worse. 1t may be that
the endowment of an exceptional ca
pacity for acquisition has for it's nor
NAL corollary genius for the employ
ment of great wealth in schemes OF
larger public advantage than would
commend themselves to less endowed
and less dangerous to those who COM
pete with them, in money getting
However this may be, temperance in
language and moderation in Judgment
are likely to follow the effort to put
ones self in the place of one Judged
and to determine what effect upon
character a given set of circumstances
would be likely to produce"

THE PEOPLES HOPE

Z, The election of q republican presi-
dent and a republican congress car
rtes with it a great responsibility. for
at no period in this nations history,
have there been greater economic
problems to be settled and settled
right, than at the present time. The
people voted for Roosevelt almost en-
masse. because they believe in his
honesty and his courage. and because
in their minds he is the hope of the
nation with reference to a proper set
Element Of the great trust problem, so
far as it can be brought about by a
national administration. The trusts
are in the saddle and some of them
are riding ruthlessly over the rights
and liberties of the people. Some of
them have stifled competition and are
pursuing a policy that is simply intol-
cradle and which the people Of this
country will not stand for any length
of time.
1t was largely because the people
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt has the
courage. the will and the ability to
tackle this problem and to settle it
once and for all, that they gave to him
and his administration the magnificent
and overwhelming endorsement of last
Tuesday. "a square deal for every
man" is a sentiment, enunciated by
Mr.. Roosevelt. that should be the
guiding ideal of republican legislation
and republican policies during the
next four years. Great corporations
should not and must not be permitted
to stif1e competition, Cypress the pub.
lie and ruin their weaker competitors
by such means. The present law
against illegal combines and monop.
olies. should be vigorously enforced,
and if 1t is necessary, additional legis.
lation must be enacted.
We regard the trust problem as the
greatest one before the people of this
nation today. The hope of the nation
in solving this problem and settling
it on right basis is President Theo.
dore Roosevelt. We believe that he
will do it and that the benefits inuring
to the people of this country will be
felt not only by the present generation
but by generations of free American
citizens who, are yet unborn.

than they can easily afford to lose
without detriment to their business in
terests or to the welfare Of their fam
lily. Andrew Carnegie has during all
his life applied this rule to the matter
of endorsing for others, declaring that
men should never endorse for more
than their cash surplus, which they can
lose without injury to their business
interests. Betting is certainly more
hazardous than endorsing, and is re-
garded by large numbers of people as
a moral wrong. Certainly it is most
deplorable evil when carried beyond
the limit above noted and by far the
best rule to follow, is not to bet at all.
