The Harvest.

Nearly all the wheat has now
been cut and threshing in this
vicinity started yesterday. The
yield will be much better than
was at first anticipated, and if
the price still remains at the
top notch, our farmers will be
literally rewarded for their
years work.

ing at heart the great social aud

rights Of the masses be prOtt CIT d
and tha, national La mony 'e pre-
s, rived. deem II imperative that
Theodore Roosevelt br re- elected to
the Presidency in 1908.
We hav. come upon days in our
social aid political life, rmentins
with distrust aud requiring firm
control.
We view with alarm the evils
already grown from the abuse OF
corporate power and see in these
evils a fertile field for the damage
que, from which might readily spring
a political and social revolution. and
believe that nothing short o. tenn
perate and prayerful solicitude. on
the part OF of the people, will hold
our political and social structure
intact.
To the people irrespective of patty
lines is due the credit that their
President, to-day, is Theodore
Roosevelt, A new era of real free
dom and vitality in our institutions
of 9, vernmer am politics was de-
mandcd, and they wisely saw in
him means to attain it.
So valiantly and wholeheart edly
has this man reflected the wishes of
the people, that his personality has
entered into and become part OF
every department of onr national
life.
He has won the confidence of the
people; and this fact alone, makes
him the most potent factor in the
solution of the present disturbing
conditions. TO eliminate this per-
sonalty-which is to eliminate that
confdence-at a time when the peo-
pie, as a whole, are FESTIVE and
trembling with apprehension, is to
invite a'iopal disorder.
So closely woven is this bond be-
tween the President and the people,
that he has become to them a public
necessity, an essential part of things
in the social and political fabric.
Therefore. Theodore Roosevelt is
not Only the one logical candidate
for nomination, but manifestly is
the only logical President for the
people.
Already has it been demonstrated
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1907-01-10

that the frightened and vengef ul
wealth controlling forces of the
country, will resort to any means to
defeat his nomination for Pre>ide
tial Third Ttrm. We, therefore.
must be on the alert and quick to
actor if we would save that which
has already been accomplished by
our illusn ious President
We are not unmrndful of the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt himself de-
clared in 1904, that under no DIR
Gums tances would he be a candidate
for. or would he accept another
nomination"
We CHALLENGE, however, his right
to refuse 10 accept the Presidency
Of the United States for a Third
Term, in The face of the peoples de
mand, especially at time when so
many undertakings of the highes
importance ave been brought
about and set in motion by him,
and so subject them to the danger
Of an united and improved successor,
to whom public confidence would be
reluctantly extended, if at all.
Manifestly, the selection of it's
President rests with the people.
The public, alone. is Judge. No
man NAV Say he will not accept. It.
is not the province of Theodore
Roosevelt to say he will or will not
br the President. He, who acts as
President, act> solely as a servant
of the people, and when called bv
them, must come.
We further hold, that in point of
fact his reelection in 1903 would
not constitute Third Trrm, He
HIS Been Elected To The Presidency
But Once. Inasmuch, however. as
the issue has been so generally
50 ken of as Third Term, the Lea

THIS city is in need of a gener-
al "house cleaning" from one
end of the town to the other
The mere talk of the Organiza
ton of civic league has had a
salutary effect on the condition,
but there must be something
else done. The day after the
league was organized all slot
machines were removed from
saloons, all gam bling was stop
ped, and it was apparent that
the operators of all unlawful
places of business were scared.
The members of the organiza-
tion were not delu ed by this
apparent submission but conf
IDENTIFY expected THAI gam bling
outfits and slot machines would
be restored as soon as the first
opportunity presented itself.
There is a rumor in circula ton
now that gam bling is carried on,
but wi ether this is true or not
we are unable to find out, if it is
something we'll happen soon.
There are other things that
should have attention. Men
who want this movement to grow
in strength, and who are inter-
ested in preserving a clean at
mospbere in the city have the
sympathy of all good citizeps.
Men who have any respect for
their families are bound to lend
their aid and when the mighty
wave strikes. they will not be
content with a mere removal of
gam bling and slot machines, but
they will demand that saloons
close at the proper hour at night
and remain closed during the
Sabbath. These questions are
bound to force themselves to the
front. We have had a splendid
opportunity of witnessing the
degradation of men. Not only
private individuals but men who
occupy high positions. IS 1T not
a splendid thing to think about,
that the children of the street
witness the actions of a man who
