FIVE
l GREATEST MEN
Cleveland, Carnegie. Mitchell
Bryan and James j. Hill.
Chief Executive Asks Them to Meet
in Confcr< ire to Conserve Conn
try's Resources.
ALL OF THEM ARE DEMOCRATS

Washington. April 1S.-Who are
the five greatest men in the United
States outside of public life?
According to Theodore Roosevelt
they are:
Grover Cleveland, Andrew Carne-
gle. John Mitchell, William Jennings
Bryan and James J. Hill.
The questions of the ten best SELL
'ers. and the twenty-one greatest men
that ever lived. have been sidetrackej
by this discussion.
The president precipitated ii by in
viting the five named to attend the
big conference in the white house the
week of May II, TO discuss conserva-
ton of the natural resources of the
country. There will be others in the
conference-every governor of n
state. cabinet officers. members of the
supreme court of the United States
and members of the inland water
ways commisslon-bu these five men
are singled out from the whole Unit
ed States as five individuals to be in
vited.
All Are Democrats.
1t will be recalled at once that they
are all Democrats. Not the same kind,
yet under the broad banner of De-.
mOcracy. Cleveland has never been
denounced from the white house for
any misdeed as a malefactor, unde-
sirable citizen or other culprit. In
fact, there has never been a great in
terehange of views between the pres
ent, executive and his predecessor.
Andrew Carnegie is on the "most
favored nation" footing in the white
house. While here recently he urged
the president to accept the presidency
of the Carnegie National Institute
when he left the white house. and
told him he could have all the money
he wanted to extend its scope of in
nuenee, but the president declined at
the time.
James J. Hill is a recent convert
admitted to the inner sanctuary.
When the president. through the de
partment of jusice, broke up the
Northern Securities merger. it is
doubtful If the comments of Mr.. Hill
about the president could have been
secured to posterity by publication

POsTOFFIcR DEPARTMENT
MAKES STRICT RULING

The postmaster general has an
nounced new ruling regarding Sec
ond class matter.
It Is in brief that weekly news
paper cannot be sent to q subscriber
at the cheap rate of postage II the
subscriber is in arrears more than
one year. On daily papers the time
limit is placed at three months.
The ruling was announced some
time ago and the papers Of the legiti-
mate class thought it must be joke
for such rule seemed to be beyond
reason.
But 1t Is no joke.
The rule WAS to 90 into effect Jan.
uary lst, but the postmaster general
has kindly permitted postmasters to
overlook the rule for month or two
while papers have time to get their
subscribers in line.
Now, to be frank, we do not con-
slider this rule to be fair or just.
Congress has made law placing the
rate Of postage for newspapers just
az it did for letters and merchandise.
We believe we have just as much
right to send man his TribuLe and
carry his account for year or two as
q merchant has to send merchandise
through the mail on credit. And
we fear that If the department has
the right to make such rulings it may
take the liberty to make others that
are more unfair than this.
While this rule was probably made
to curtail the lists Of the big mail
order publications which have prac.
tically no legitimate subscription
lists, It's effect will be felt In every
newspaper Office in the United States.
1t means that every man must pay
for his paper every year or the paper
will be stopped.
While we do not believe the rule
is fair we will have to stand by it for
1t has the effect Of law.

This family came here from Canon
City short time ago because the
woman could find nothing to do to
keep the body and soul of her family
together. Then they came to Flor
ence. She is not begging or throw
ing herself upon the mercy of the
kind hearted people of Florence, but
she is merely asking for work SO that
she can provide for her six little
children and sick husband who was
been unable to work for some time.
Yesterday morning they had little
II anything to eat. but after a few
callers had been to the house, the
family was made glad by donations
from citizens and associations. She
is willing to work and if there are
people in Florence who do not care to
assist otherwise, they can help the
woman provide living by giving
her their washing to do.

RETURNS ALL CAMPAIGN GIFTS.
6overnor-Elect Marshall OF In
diana Under Obligations to
No One.

Columbus City, Ind, Nov. 6.-Thomas
r. Marshall, democratic governor-elect,
will go into Office in January under obli-
cations to no man for financial assist
ance in the campaign. After he was
nominated he announced that he would
pay all expenses and under no circum-
stance would he accept financial aid.
He paid the political assessment and,
though he visited every county and al
most every hamlet, he paid railroad fare
and hotel bills.
Letters containing moneys and checks
began to reach Mr.. Marshall's Office two
months ago, and when he closed his
campaign the amount thus represented
aggregated nearly $500. He caused
the letters to be fled and did not reply
to any, as he felt that he might estrange
some friend if he refused to accept.
Today he went over all these letters
and Dictated replies, thanking the
donors, but inclosing the original offer
ings.

GARST WILL BECOME GOVERNOR
OF IOWA.

Warren Garst will enjoy the most
unique governorship ever known in
Iowa or the middle west. His term Of
office will extend over about six weeks
and yet in that time he will have some
Of the most important duties of an
administration to perform. Among these
will be the preparation and delivery of
the biennial message to the new legis-
lature to be convened early in January.
Mr. Garst will become governor short
ly after the election of Governor Cum
minis as United States senator by the
special session of the legislature, Nov.
"a. Governor Cummins will then re-
sign as chief executive to go to the con-
gressional session in December.
The new governor will be sworn in
as chief executive by Chief Justice
Ladd of the supreme court.
1t is extremely probable that the new
governor will make no change in the
administration whatever. He will prob
ably maintain all the present depart
ment employees during his short term of
service. Whether John 9riar, private
secretary to Governor Cummins, will
remain in his position is not known.
Mr.. Briar has been desiring to leave
for a vacation and may seize this oppor-
tunity to take it.
B. r. Carroll will be inaugurated gov
ernor by the legislature sometime in
January and the reins Of the state gov
ernment will be placed in his hands
by Mr.. Garst.

BRYAN is NOT BITTER.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. CIV. j. Bryan
has issued the following statement:
1.-THE election has gone against US by
a decisive majority. The returns are
all in, and it is impossible at this time
to say what causes contributed most to
the republican victory.
"We made our fight upon platform
which embodies what we believed to be
good for the American people, but it is
for the people themselves to decide
what laws they desire and what meth
DDS of government they prefer. have
faith that the publicity which we asked
for will yet commend itself to the
American people, that the election of
senators by the people will be secured,
that the iniquities of the trust will
arouse an opposition that will result in
the elimination of the principle Of pri-
vate monopoly. l am confident that
people will see the necessity for the
labor legislation and the tariff reduc-
tion which our platform demanded. l
am confident that the educational work
done in this campaign will result in Sc
curing greater protection to bank de-
positors.
"The above are the most prominent
reforms for which we labored, and
believe that these reforms will yet
come, together with moro effective reg
ulation of railroads and independence
for the Filipinos.
81 desire to commend the work of our
national committee: am entirely salts
fled with Mr.. Mack as the chairman and
with the work of the members of the
committee. l do not see what they
could have done more than they did,
and as for myself, put forth every ef-
fort in my power to secure victory for
our cause. The nomination came from
the hands of the voters; l have obeyed
their command, and have led as best
could. Words will not express my
gratitude for the devotion which has
been shown by millions of democrats
during the past twelve years. Neither
am l able to adequately express my
appreciation for the kind words which
have been spoken since the election.
"If could regard the defeat as purely
personal one would consider it a
blessing rather than as misfortune,
for am relieved Of the burdens and
responsibilities of an Office that is at
trsctive only in proportion as it gives
an opportunity to render large public
service.
"But shall serve as willingly in a
private capacity as in public one.
God does not require great things of us;
he only requires that we improve the
opportunities that are presented and I
shall be glad to improve the opportuni-
ties for service presented by private
life.
Sin this hour of national defeat I find
some consolation in the cordial support

JAMIEsON is THANKFUL.

In last Fridays Shenandoah World,
Congressman Jamieson's paper, he ex-
pressed his appreciation of the honor
which has been conferred upon him in
the following editorial:
OF course the result in our congress
sional district was most gratifying to
me, and appreciate not only the mere
matter of being elected to this very
honorable and very desirable office, but
TO much greater extent l appreciate
and feel the duties and the RESPONSE
biIities that the place carries with it,.
1 do not hold them lightly, and the only
promise have made myself was that if
| were elected would devote my whole
energy and my best effort to serving
the people we'll. While l was elected
as democrat, yet feel that now l am
this district irrespective Of their parti-
sanship and l am anxious to do the best
that / know how for every one-demo-
erat, republican, socialist and all. The
victory was not to a very large extent
q personal one to melt was protest
against some of the things that Mr..
Hepburn was and that he had stood for
and an endorsement of some of the
things that stood for. While gave
all my time to the campaign, yet l was
only one of 5000 or more democrats and
independent republicans and members
of the other parties both men and
women, who worked earnestly for this
result, and to them l give my hearty
thanks. / hope all of the people of this
district, democrats and republicans and
all, will look upon me as personal
representative, and will recognize the
fact that am anxious to serve every
one to the very best of my ability.

Congressman-elect Jameson

Congressman-elect Jameson left
Wednesday evening for Columbus juno
tion to visit his mother, receive her
congratulations and to take rest after
the arduous labors of the campaign. 1t
shows good trait for a boy to turn to
his mother first in the day of his ex-
IRENE success. 1t is common enough
for man to think of his mother when
misfortune or adversely strike him, but
not SO common in the day of triumph.
Some evening next week, after his re-
turn, there will be ratification and we
may feel assured that his friends, who
are many and enthusiastic, will get up
rousing demonstration. Let us hope
it will not be all noise and confetti.
There is something more serious.-Shen-

WHERE THE DEMOCRATS SHOWED
STRENGTH.

Although weak in it's national cam
paign, the democratic party developed
surprising strength in the most imp or-
tant Of the recent state elections.
In Ohio and Indiana the democrats
elected their candidates for governor
and may be fond in control of the legis-
lature. In Minnesota they were prac-
tically conceded the governor. In ILL
nois they nearly secured the governor,
and in New York they failed by COM
paratively narrow margin.
Mr.. Stevenson failed, and Mr.. Chanler
failed, chiefly because of the default of
idr. Bryan. Thousands could not feel
the confidence in Mr.. Bryan they felt in
Mr.. Taft. Their prudence moved them
to vote for Mr.. Taft. And in colloquial
phrase, "the tail went with the hide"
A notable feature of the democratic
successes within state lines is that the
successful, and nearly successful, demo-
cratic candidates are known to the ma
ton at large as democrats who are not
radical, who are rather Of the Cleveland
school, who do not sympathise. with
Organism.
Mr.. Harmon in Ohio and Mr.. Steven
son in Illinois are everywhere recognize
ed as fine types Of the historic democ-
racy, of the democracy of Tilden and
Cleveland, which, whatever it's faults,
was admitted to be capable of managing
national affairs. And Mr.. Chanler and
Mr.. johnson, though much younger, and
differing as new generation must from
an older, are distinctly of the same type
From all this it is evident that the
democracy is bankrupt only as nation
al party and as Bryan party. Within
state lines, and on state issues, it COM
mands respect and can win success on
it's merits.
And it follows that to become again a
strong national party, with a fair chance
to win on it's merits, the democracy
must show national leaders of the same
type as Harmon and Stevenson and
johnson.
That it may be able to do SO is the
sincere hope of every thinking and pa
triotic American. For it is incon-
venient, and it is even dangerous, for q
nation of popolar government to have
only one party which sober-minded men,
when the hour comes and the decision
must be made, are bound to feel can be
trusted with the great business Of gov
srnmsnt. Chicago Inter Ocean.

One thing which will not worry Con-
gresham w. D. Jameson, is the distri-
button Of federal patronage, which has
caused Congressman Hepburn consider
able grief. Mr.. Jameson will have
nothing to do with the naming of post
masters or other federal officers and
therefore will make no enemies in his
own party. Had Bryan been elected he
would have control of the Offices in his
own district, but as it is the republicans
will continue to select the appointive
officers.

There must be some magic in the name
of Dougherty over in Taylor county.
Taft had a majority in that county Of
s97, but J. H. Dpugherty, the democratic
191 votes, and 7. M. Dougherty, the
democratic candidate for county at
torney was elected by 81 votes. Miss
Mary Osborn, the democratic candidate
for county recorder was also elected by
majority Of 81 votes.

The defeat of Col. Hepburn in this
district attracted national attention and
Congressman Jameson has sprung into
the lime light and acquired national
reputation as the young man who de-
feated the distinguished William Peters
Hepburn.
