WHILST WE WAIT.

Wh4AOA WI W ALI
Whether the President be the
candidate of his party for re.elec-
tion in 1908, or not, from now on
ward the play Of party forces in
the United States will become
largely duel between Theodore
Roosevelt and William Jennings
Bryan.
''He hasn't stolen all my wear
ing apparel" Mr.. Bryan said the
other day of Roosevelt, ''and those
pieces he has stolen don't fit
him."
Among the practical politicians
of our time Theodore Roosevelt
stands easily the foremost. He
joins to the knowledge of political
machinery knowledge of politi-
cal philosophers, and is possessed
by keen sense of the operations
of public opinion. He is an in
telligent opportunist. He is an
intrepid navigator. The dare
devil in him appeals to the popu-
lar imagination. The absence of
conviction removes from his sea-
way all theoretical and conscien-
tious distractions. He steers East,
or West, or North or South, as his
fancy lIsteth, or his eye and ex-
perience point the way; but, his
fancy is not made up out of the
cobwebs of the dreamer, whilst.
he brings to the helm the accre-
tions of twenty years in rough
riding politics.
Tyrannous in the exercise of
power, when he thinks he has it,
keeping faith only where it is
profitable and convenient, he bears
all the familiar ear marks Of the
Egotists of History, who con-
ceived their will to be the law and
saw nothing except through the
selfish medium of their own am
bition.
Men like this make good, or bad
rulers, IL the proportion that they
are held in check, or given loose
rein. Thus far, in the main, the
influence of Theodore Roosevelt
has made for good, not bad. He
is clean, an able and brave man,
who loves his country only second
to himself, and, for righteous ends,
would create the public service
after his own image. The people
in general like that kind Of q man,
and hence the President retains a
very large measure of his popu-
larity.
With the unerring instinct of a
genius for affairs, Mr.. Roosevelt
saw, after the last National cleo
ton, that the Republican party
must, as the saying is, ''loosen up
a Bit" 1t could not afford to go
the gaits it had been going. 1t
could not afford to stand pat on
certain abuses which were becom
ing too obvious as well as too OPP
pressive. The party had been the
friend of corporate wealth, the
beneficiary of criminal wealth, the
organ of organized rapacity. The
Tariff Schedules, tn 9 Railway
Service, the Insurance Companies,
all welded together in community
of interest al a q common sys-
tenn of pillage, were adjusted to
play High Finance while they
piled up Republican maiorities.
Having used the ladder of mo-
nopoly to climb to the top, just as
he had used the ladder of Civil
Service Reform to command the
party machinery, he thought him
self strong enough to kick the lad
der away and to get down again
upon terra firma. First, he began
to play to the galleries. The gal
Ieries applauded. Then he began

Mr.. Z. L. Kincaid, postoffice in
spector, here this week to establish
free city delivery, wishes us TO re-
mind the citizens against fakirs
with mail boxes and other equip
ment for sale. Tho boxes are not
required by the Government, 50
Mr.. Kincaid authorizes US to say,
and hence he advises the citizens
not to be victimized, The only re-
quirements to be made of the citi-
zen are that he have his residence
numbered, and this can be done by
any local mechanic. Free city mail
delivery will give us d new pres
tige. 1t is what we are entitled to

ing. This has been neglected. The

lied and this matter looked after.

VERDICT FOR DAMAGE.

VERDICT FOR DAMAGE.
The Walker Edwards case has
come to a close and the CONNER
cial is heartily glad of it. We be-
lieve every reader of the paper
and everyone who prefers a moral
atmosphere to the sickening de-
tails which have held high car
niyal in the Obion County temple
of justice for the past four weeks
are glad to see its close.
A large volume of the testimo-
ny we published. Much of 1t was
curtailed, and yet we hesitated to
print it. A similar case of the
kind will hereafter find no room
in these columns. There is no
permanent benefit to be gained,
and the adverse effects upon ris-
ing generation are sufficient to
prevent the publication of such
things. Even the Courier. Jour.
nal and others of the better class
of morning dailies are advocating
the suppression of this character
of news. Many fathers and moth
ers will not permit their children
to read it and we don't blame
them. We do not undertake to
justify our conduct in printing
this case, but simply offer our
apologies to the readers with the
pledge that it shall not he repeat
ed.
AS far as the verdict is concern
ed we have no comment to make.
There is no doubt that there is a
very strong feeling on either side.
Whatever the merits of the case
are one question has been settled
in the mind of everyone, and that
is that Judge" Felix Moore has
established himself as one of the
greatest lawyers we have. The
other gentlemen are good lawyers,
but we speak of Mr.. Moore be-
cause he led the fight for plaintiff,
because he was largely responsible
for collecting the evidence. In
fact he managed the suit for plain
tiff. Mr.. Moore has verified the
fact that he is an attorney. He
has also established the fact that
he is an advocate. People sympa.
thizing with both sides have
classed his speech delivered at the
courthouse this week as one of the
greatest efforts ever heard in I'm
ion City. From legal standpoint
the suit resulted in victory for
Mr.. Moore and his associates, and
they have earned it. Counsel for
defense comprise some of our best
legal talent, but-they will not CEN
sare us when we say that Judge
Moore has given the case closer
personal and professional atten-
ton and accomplished more than
any other attorney connected with
it. 1t was legal victory from
the fact, we believe, that Mr.. Moore
took up the case against odds and
led it to a successful termination.
In these comments we are not to
be understood a s speaking of II Q
verdict from a standpoint of JUS
tice. The scoundrel who robs an
innocent, minded woman OF
her chastity should be hanged.
On the other hand, the dirty,
villainous schemes of the black
mailer, adventures and crook
should not have countenance
among intelligent people. There
is no compromise in our opinion.
