lie, u. Fith, in Peace

No man should be judged BE-
cause of his opinion of things and
measures. Let him have his way Of
thinking. Argue with him if you
will, but do not get club and pum-
mel his head because he cannot or
will not agree with you. That would
be enforced argument. If this
paper has an idea on certain meas
ures, it has the right to talk along
those lines. If you take issue with
the ideas expressed, then that is
your privilege. There should be no
hard feelings in the matter. There
will be none so far as this paper II
concerned. We have long since
come to the understanding that ev-
cry man has right to do and think
about as he pleases, so long as he
does not interfere with another's
personal rights.
If we believe irrigation is the
best method Of farming, that is our
privilege, and it is our privilege to
talk that way and to farm that
way. If you believe dry farming is
the thing, then go and do dry farm.
ing and talk dry farming; but we
are not going to force you to wet
your ground, and you have no right
to force us to turn on hot blast
from Kansas to dry our farm out.
We may both have good chances if
we carry out our ideas. We are
free moral agents, and there you
are.
If this paper sees it for the best
interests of the country to support
William Jennings Bryan. it is 60

be questioned by any one. We are
not going to maliciously tread on
any one s toes, and when we arrive
at a measure, either for or against
it, we are not driving at the indi-
vidual who might support or OPP
pose the measure. 1t is the princi-
pie involved and not the individu-
atty that is to be assailed or de-
Tended.

Every Man His Right

It is not the purpose Of this pa
per to dictate to any man what he
shall or shall not do, so long as he
does not interfere with the rights
of American citizenship. God ere
ated all men equal, SO we are told,
and He did not intend that any one
man, OF set of men, should domi-
nate the balance. The American
idea is free thought, free speech
and free action. This applies to re-
ligion, politics, business in all its
phases. You are not to dictate to
your neighbor what church he shall
belong tot is none of your neigh
boris affairs what political party
you belong to. If man sees fit to
live on herbs and grasses and fruits,
that is his privilege; but he must
not try to force his foliage diet
upon you. IF you eat meats and
bread and chopped breakfast foods,
You must rot presume that your
brother in the woods is breaking the
laws of God and man because he
cannot digest your manner of food.
If you prefer to drink rain water,
that is your privilege. If your
neighbor prefers a beverage some
stronger, let him have it. His appe-
tite requires this system requires
it. 1t does not hurt you-it does
not lessen your supply of rain
water, and it does not rob the fish.
Just come to the plain, sensible I'M
derstandiny that there are no two
persons in all this great world
physically constructed the same,
and because one man out of the mil
lions dislikes fine juicy porter
house steak, is no reason why the
others should forego the palatable
cut.

20, See What l Did, 50

Have you noticed the tactics Of
the Rocky Mountain News in try
ing to get in for the lion s share of
the 81 demanded it, and it was
sol" For years the News has tried
to dominate any and all parties
where it saw fighting chance. But
that part OF it is all right-that is
politics. Yet there is one silly thing
the News ought to get away from.
1t ought to get away from the habit
of lying around in the tall grass
watching for the coon to come out
of the tree of its own volition, and
then jump up and yell: ooh, look
l smoked him out!" Now, every
one knows the coon came down out
of the tree of its own accord, and
the zip of the grass moocher had
nothing to do with it. And by the
way, this applies to the recent
boast of the News that it had
smoked out" Milton Smith and
forced him to call meeting of the
executive committee. Fact is, Mil
ton Smith acted upon the wishes
of the Democratic party and upon
his own better Judgment, and paid
no attention to the "call of the
Wild"

o, consis,encyl

There is a whole lot Of inooo-
sistency in this old world after al!
and among men and women who
pose al being most consistent. For
instance, there is the quickest who
says ''Coffee is poison. You shall
not drink it," Did You ever hear
of any one dying from an overdose
of coffeef Did you ever hear Of
any one saying to the coffee alb
stainest: "Drink coffee. If you
don't you will surely dief' Did
youf No; the person who drinks
coffee never tries to force it down
any ones throat. There is the in
consistency Of the man who says it
is poison.
Then we have the man who says :
"You shall not drink liquor. 1t is
poisonous. He is inconsistent. The
man who sees and feels no harm
from the stimulants never says to
the man with a dry appetite
"Here, you take this whisky and
swallow a quart of it-you are So
Der and you must drink. 1t does me
good and you will die if you don t
drink it" He is consistent. To the
broad-minded, thinking person, the
man who does not drink has no
more right to demand abstainence
than has the man who does drink to
demand that his cold-water friend
drink gallon of forty-rod whisky.
The whole thing resolves itself Ia
this: "a government by the peo-
pie, of the people and for the peo.
ple." That is what Abraham Lin
coin said. If the majority Of the
people want a glass of nice cool
beer on hot day, let them have it

Why Not7

Mr.. Taft, Republican nominee
for president, says that the guar
anteeing Of bank deposits puts a
premium on honest bankers.
Why should the depositors care
anyway what the bankers want I
What the depositor wants is assur-
ance that his money is safe. There
is not bank that dares guarantee
its depositors; yet, if the depositor
wants to borrow dollar he must
guarantee the banker Rest assured
that dishonest bankers will be on
the earth as long as it stands, and
80 far the bankers have not helped
to make men honest any more than
any other class of people. What
the people want is to be sure al
ways that their money is safe. Mr..
Taft made serious blunder when
he inferred that the depositors did
not need protection. Every voter
should think well of his own inter
ests this year and let the banker
alone. This state will pass such a
law if Democracy gets in power this
fall.

Now, just to come right down to
it from business standpoint, who
is it that furnishes the big end OF
the money it requires to run the
average town! 1t is the men who
like, now and then, to take q
drink of cool beer. and the men who
are given the license to sell it.
There is many a town kept up in
fine metropolitan style just off the
licenses from saloon men. Other
towns beside them, where saloons
are prohibited, have mudholea in
