The Death Of Dope W.

No; Senator Depew's heart has
not ceased to beat; his eyelids have
not been shut down; his body is
not rigid: he is not yet to be sculp-
tured.
But the man whom the nation
has known and needed and delight
ed to honor is nevertheless dead
dead to the power he once welded,
dead to fame, dead to further USE
fulness, or happiness.
Health, spirit AMI power are
gone out of him, as light is gone
out of an extinguisllsd lamp.
All that remains j., q warning.
A people who long looked up to
Cahuncey NJ. Depew with respect
and confidence, who merely laugh
ed with him, and were thrilled by
his learned eloquence, cannot re-
press the pity that springs from
the heart at his plight today.
But pity, though generous even
to tears, must not blind US to the
vital lesson of this broken life.
We must see in it that there are
more ways to suicide than the bull
let, the poison, the dagger or the
rope-more certain ways to more
complete death.
In this poor old man, blasted
and ruined at the eventide of his
long, bright day by his own greed
God Almighty himself is preaching
to this nation one of the most pow
full sermons.
1t is sermon that every young
man should hear and heed.
We may fool the preacher ano
the priest; we may dodge the sher
# and the Judge; but we canno
get away from the supreme Law
and its. sure penalties.
The Depew we have known an
loved and laughed with is dead
suicide. The sparkle has gone
from his eye, the sunny glow from
his face; the spring of his elo
quence has dried up, and the once
budding jest has frozen upon his
cold lips.
The strength of a Samson i
shorn from him. The giant ha
shrunk to a pigmy. Only few
days ago the highest felt honor il
his friendship, and now the very
meaness of us all may laugh a
him.
Yes; there is suicide more com
plete than that of the dagger o.
the rope, and it not only break:
a man in body. but kills fame
power, honor, pride. hope. peace

Shaws Candidacy for Presi>
dent

Council Bluffs, Ia, Jan. 80
Editor rld-Herald: Several
farmer politicians were recently
discussing matters in general when
the conversation turned upon Gov
eruor (now secretary Shaw. Mr..
Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1906-02-08
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY s, 1906.

since Mr.. Shaw was entirely I'M
known in Iowa politics. Treynor
claims to have discovered Shaw.
Well. Terynor got the postofice-
great reward for a small discov-
cry. The prohibitionists and the
Methodist church showed Shaw on
to the republican convention about
eight years ago, and he was nomi-
mated for governor. None of the
big men of the party wanted the
nomination at that time. and he
went through easily, and was
elected.
He made a fair governor, ex-
cept that he was not equal to the
occasion when the Spanish war
broke out. He knew nothing of
military matters, and did not take
advice. He played gum shoe poll
tics, and was afraid of offending
some boys father. The Iowa boys
were all right, but they were not
properly handled, and it was
known beforehand that they would
not be.
WAS Iowa heard of in that war!
Was any glory added to her ban
ner! | think if Gov. jackson or
Gov. Drake had been in the chair
Iowa's record would have been
different"
II guess you're right said
Farmer Smith. After that Shaw
began to run himself for president,
and to get rid of him as candi-
date he was appointed secretary
of the treasury"
Mark Hanna said: There's
Shaw rafting around in the chair
of the secretary af the treasury
and trying to ill It," Well, he
has ratified around and played gum
shoe politics ever since.
| hear that his department sore.
ly needs investigating, not so much
for what he has done as what he
has left undone. He wants to get
out before it comes. as it might
hurt his presidential candidacy.
| noticed in the election new:
last fall an item to the effect tina
Secretary Shaw had reduced the
democratic majority in Virginia
That's important. They had al
they wanted, didn't they! And i
they had wanten few more thous
ands they would have added then
on.
The Charleston Is. c. News ant
Courier said recently: Sine,
Secretary Shaw has spoken il
Florida we do not mind concedins
the fact that he has just as mucl
chance for carrying that state a
he has of carrying any other il
1908"
/ don't suppose Shaw expect t.
carry Florida or Virginia, but h
is after the delegates to the mex
republican convention. He i
playing Secretary John Sherman
game. You know Sherman though
ne had most of the southern dele
gates fixed, but complained tina
General Alger of Michigan bough
up his delegates at the last mo
ment, and that's the way Shaw
will end up. He had better lool
after Iowa.
Gov. Cummins is not going t.
let him have solid delegation
and / don't believe the standpat
tiers are going to tear their shirt
for him; in fact, it will surprise m,
if his name ever goes before tn
convention.
MIR. Jones, what do the folk
down your way say about Shaw
running for PRESIDENT"
They don't say nuthin': the.
jest laff." Yours truly,

The Press Bureau.
Lincoln Starr


capital city just now. One ex
lobbyist has again started out to
impose upon country editors. He
sends forth laudations of prominent
men and, eventually, hopes to land
a job. He expects to be private
secretary to some governor or SEN
ator, preferably the latter. This
man conducted a press bureau last
winter in hopes of securing recog-
milton. At one time he was an
attache of a railroad, but this cor
poration has dispensed with his
political services.
1t does not matter with the press
bureau promoters that the victims
of their praise have not indorsed
or countenanced the publicity
work. The game is an old one,
and was exposed by the Star last
winter. Then there was a deliber-
ate effort to browbeat Governor
Mickey. At one time it was
planned to have hundreds of tele-
grams come to the executive Office
in order to get Mickey to approve
a certain bill. This scheme was
exposed, and the executive paid no
attention to the agitators. The
press bureau seeks to impose upon
both the victim, who is eventually
approached" for the expenses,
and the country editors. Cunning
ly worded boosts, knocks"
and ''puffs'' are sent to the rural
press. Sometimes news letter is
written. The effect is the same.
The editor perhaps prints a dozen
items, one Of which i s
poisoned" The latter contains
few ambiguous phrases and some
commentator. When this appears
in the country paper the success
of the plan seems assured. The
next step is to compile the state
ments and reprint them in order
to convince the people at large and
the weekly papers that the voice
of the people insists upon certain
man for certain place.
The endless chain process is con-
tinued day after day and week af-
ter week. The press bureau pro-
moter writes the frenzied matter.
He sends it out and patiently
watches for results. Ola hundred
items, perhaps but one is printed.
With commendable patience the
press bureau promoter sends out a
hundred more. OF these be scores
once or twice. Oftentimes the
democratic papers see the point
and, in order to avoid dissension,
print the laudations without limit.
When the notices are reprinted
the frenzied publicist takes the re.
wards of his toll and and lays them,
fruits of victory, at the feet of the
man who is being "puffed."
Oftentimes the promoter has 8
double task. He must persuade
the subject to enter the race. HI
must cause the voice of the PEG
Pile" to be heard at the same time
He manufacturers the ''taffy" ane
then feeds it to the victim. Whe1
the candidate enters the race thu
promoter is in his glory. He Cal
either land his man or sell out
for a job with some other candi
date. knocks" are landed Will
impunity, and the opposition pres
will always use them. The pres
bureau artists simply declare tina
John Smith is a candidate for 81
and so; he is not making mucl
Roadway, for this is not the yea
for a corporation candidate" O.
if the corporation subject is not up
permost, the bureau artist connect
the unfortunate one with SOM,
calamity or unpopular phase o.
state history.
Sometimes two press bureaus
will be started for the same man
