ROAST PORK AND rAsAsco SAUCE.

same llgnV aS well conducted hotel table: It caters to many and varied tastes, and it should en- deavor to have viands to suit all tastes. No one is expected to eat everything that is on the bill of fare at hotel table. Nor is any one privileged to object to what is served for others who like such dishes, when he gets what he wants and likes himself. At a hotel ta- ble no guest or boarder does any kicking because his neighbor is served with pork and tabasco sauce, a viand for which he has no use himself. He is not expected to eat what he don't like, but he passes it up to the man who does like it, and confines his atten- ton to those dishes which fit his own tastes. Now that is the rule which should be observed by the readers of newspapers. Each read CT should read and enjoy those features he may like in any partic- ular newspaper, and pass up to those who do like them the feat ures that he dislikes. He may de- pend upon it that the editor has readers who do like them, or they would not appear in the columns of his paper. When the editor, upon his literary table, has "roast pork with tabasco sauce," the read CT who likes it not may depend that some of his fellow readers do like such dishes and want them; and he should leave them to the enjoyment of what suits them, en- toying to his own hearts content the things which suit him. Yet there are those who find fault con- tinually with some features of newspaper they read, without ever stopping to consider that there are others who like to read in that pa per the very things they detest. They would deny his favorite dish to the lover of ''roast pork with ta- basco sauce," and repeat as far as they can the fable of the dog in the manager.
 The foregoing reflections are the result of remark of citizen of Nogales to one of the friends of this editor, passed one day this week. The remark was that he "enjoyed greatly Birds descrip- tions of the country through which he travels, and his articles on gen. eral topics, but he does detest the way he roasts some people," The remark of the gentleman was made in good faith; and that is his hon. est opinion no doubt. But he don't realize that there are hundreds of readers of THE OASIS who do like those very roasts. They like the literary 'roast pork with tabasco sauce," and particularly do they like it when they know the hog who is roasted. There could be e l

nal may be able to see the leaves Of
the olive branch on this, but we can
not. Here is what the Mail says:
"The 'Teter Republicans are the
ones that have borne the; burden Of
the party battles for many a year.
Few Of them are numbered among
the Office holding class, and for the
most part the rest OF them DO moi
want Office. They are content to give
majorities to the Republican ticket
and all that they ask in return is sensi
bic and unprejudiced government
They believe in equal taxation in fact
and not by false pretense. They dc
not believe in party nominations
through the devious processes Of par
ty committees, and where they have
control have never abolished com
mittee on credentials"
Now isn't that lovely and sweet Of
the Mail? oughtn't we to get down
on our hunkers and beg its pardon fol-

Secretary Taft and a Supreme Court
Seat.

Seat.
Taft was thirty when he became a
Judge of the Superior Court in Cincin'
natl and only thirty,hve when he was
appointed Judge of the United States
Circuit Court. His ambition had tenl'
ed to the federal bench, and this Of
fee appeared to pave the way for the
realization of his wish to be a mem
Der of the highest tribunal. The world
knows how, when offered an appoint
ment as an Associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, which
meant the fulflIment of his hearts
desire, he placed duty ahead of every
thing else and declined the tender. He
was then in the Philippines and he
preferred to stay there at the sacrifice
of personal comfort and individual
taste, because his departure from Ma
Mia would cause lack of confidence
among the native people and interfere
with the work he had set out to do.
The real Taft stood out in these words
telegraphed 10 President Roosevelt:
Look forward to time when l can &C
cept such an offer, but even If 1t is
certain that 1t can never be repeated,
/ must now decline" And when the
President insisted that ne, as Press
dent, saw the whole field" and in
tended to make the appointment, Taft
came back with reasons which con-

Senator. III. s~isher vas Of great val.
ur in the shaping Of legislation and In |
the councils Of bic party associates
It could never be said Of him that
be would not follow the leadership Of
the older heads. ana hence his coufse |
won the admiration and approval OF
al the older leaders:
But perhaps me most rentar kapleI
achiyement 81 sir. swisher occurred
when he received the nomlnati for
the very responsible once which he
now holds, that Of Secretary q State
At the famous wheeling convention.
Of 1904, when Governor Dawson was g
nominated after one Of the fereest
forensic battles ever lwaged IN q pos
littc.,l contest Il was wen known that
Hon. Thomas g. Miller, the then State
Superintendent Of Schools, and q resi-
dent Of Marion county, the home couns
ty Of senator swisher, was g candi'
date for denomination to the ONCE he
held, and there we're most excellent
reasons for his selection. The com:
mite. on order Of business had re
ported a programme which made the
nomination of Secretary Of State the
last thing before the adjournment o.
the convention and put Prof. Miller's
fate well up in the front. swisher had
not approached the committee in any
way. Neither had Miller. AS honora-
BILE gentlemen they we're willing to
submit their claims to the Republicans
in convention assembled and take the
consequences.
Result, the splendid record made by
Mr.. Miller secured his endorsement
and re.aominalion by the convention,
and it came almost in the nature of an
ovation
This result presented a situation to
senator swisher that would have chill
ed almost any other man, Senator
swisher simply said to the devoted
band about him that the Republican
convention had nominated one good
man from Marion county; and now
they couldn't do a better thing than
to nominate another one.
Like Trojans of old his faithful fol-
lowers rallied to the fray, and in the
finish Of that memorable convention,
senator swlsher was nominated for
Secretary Of state, amid scenes al
most lndescribaDle.
AZ a member of the common council
Of the city of Fairmont, Mr.. swisher
was ever watchful Of the Interests Of
the people; as a member Of the lower
branch Of the legislature he was at
tenti,e, resourceful and an able mem
ber of that body; as a member OF the
state Senate he easily became a lead
err in the councils of the party and in
the shaping of the legislation that has
proved CT such great value to the
State.
AS Secretary of State. Mr.. swisher
has met every requirement and by his
uniform attention to the business Of
Tao Stice, and the efficiency of those
under him, has further convinced Re-
publlcaus at least that he is fit and
able for any post Of duty to which
he NAV be called.
AS the Republican candidate for gov
eru,r he would at once inspire conf
dence in the rank and file, since COM
ing from the ranks himself, he would
be able to always keep his ear to the
ground.
From the Republican view point it
looks nightly like swisher. If NOM
mated he would be an inyincible can.
didate and the campaign Of the Democ
racy would be merely perfunctory.
