The People Rule.

philadelphia Inquierer)
When any campaigner goes around
the country telling the people that they
do not rule he is enacting the part OF
demagogue. If the people do not rule,
who does? The people go to the polls
and vote. 1t is within their province.
especially since the so general adoption
of the primary system of making NOM
nations, to choose their own candi-
dates. Having done this, they proceed
to elect them. 1t is the height of alb
surdity to say they do not rule when
they do all the electing. The people
are all powerful. They make any gov
eminent precisely what they see fit
True, public officials sometimes disap-
point those who have put faith IN them
but all elective terms are grief and the
remedy can always be applied at the
polls in due time.
Corporations cannot carry elections
Trusts have only their own particula.
votes. The masses Of the citizens OF
the country are not bought nor are
they sold. They stand in their OWL
rights and exercise those rights as free
men.
Mr. Bryan has been chosen by the
delegates to the Democratic convention
to the leadership of the Democratic
Party Did not those delegates rule:
Mr. Bryan would resent any implica-
ton that they did not. The Republican
convention nominated Judge Taft. Not
even Mr.. Bryan will claim that he was
not honestly nominated. Between Mr.
Bryan and Judge Taft the people viii
fhnv ,1Nync n vye
the next President of the United States
They will call one or the other to dc
the ruling. Does Mr.. Bryan contend
that the people will not rule if Judge
Taft is elected? Will only rule in case
they elect him?
There is always a good deal of fab
bergaster about the demagOgical cry
that the people do not rule. They do.

Taftward the current Of inde-
pendent political opinion takes its
way. The recent declaration in Mr..
Taft's favor by the Springfield Re-
publican is generally interpreted by
the press Of the country as a sign
of the times that Is of more than
ordinary significance. So, also. will
the announcement that Col. T. w.
Higginson, former ardent supporter
of Bryan, now prefers Mr.. Taft on The
ground Of larger capacity for the
work of the presidency. 1t is evident
that in Mr.. Higginson's case. as in
those of many other men, the deter
mining factor has been not so much
matter of Endorsement of the Re-
publican platform as a superior con-
fidence in Mr. Taft's ability to deal
with large problems at critical time
in national history, a confidence due
to study of the candidates record
The known is preferred to the I'M
known. the proved to the prob
lematical.

Scott.
Burglars entered the cellar of O.
r. Scott last evening and stole about
a dozen Jars of fruit.
The cellar door was locked. but the
key had been left hanging on the
casing of a door leading from the
porch into the house. II IL thought
that the burglars In searching about
the house for an entrance discovered
this key. found that It could be used
for the cellar and In this manner ef-
fected an entrance. After gaining
an entrance. the door to the cellar
had again been secured and the key
returned TO its place on the door cas-
ing. Another theory advanced is
that the theft was committed by
some one familiar with the premises
and the location Of the key, and that
the sole mission was 20 obtain the
fruit. Several kinds OF fruit are con-
tanned in the cellar, but only peaches
were taken.
No clew or suspicious have been
advanced as to the identity OF the
burglars.

WE NEED TO PLANT TREES
Mayor Pace Says W. Should Plant
Trees. A Few Hints About
Planting Trees in Quay
County.
Beautifyins the Homes OF Our
City.

Mayor John Pace says we
need to plant trees.
And the mayors statement
makes a paragraph all by itself.
The news interviewed the mayor
this week on the question of inn
provements for our town. Per-
haps the restlessness of coming
spring was upon him, perhaps the
memory of green fields far away
perhaps a scene of leafy aisles OF
some woodland haunt of those
priceless days of his boyhood were
recalled-at any rate he says:
PLANT Trees"
He says: Il wish the people
here would take more interest in
fixing up their yards and setting
out trees. There is nothing in the
world that will help the town so
much as to set out shade and fruit
trees. | want to see the good peo-
pie of the town take more interest
in their homes. Ike earlier set
tiers here found little time to give
to the cultivation of trees, with a
population made up chiefly Of
those who were striving to make a
living, little attention was given
to identifying the homes. But
the times, and character of the
population has changed. The
planting of shade trees in our town
has been only on a very small
scale and what have been planted
have received little attention. On
cannot help but be impressed with
the scarcity Of shade trees in the
surroundings of our homes. While
a shade tree growing beside q
drive or in the home grounds, i.
not generally a source of income
to the individual or community, i
properly placed and trained, i
may be a thing of beauty ant
comfort. 1t will help the towI
wonderfully in a few years, ane
will increase the value of property
greatly in proportion to the cos
of planting and taking care of tn,
trees. Let me urge our people t,
set out all the trees they can car
for"
