Roosevelt In 1904 and 1908

In one of the most interesting of
his recent campaign manifestos,
Mr.. Roosevelt speaks with the
most indignant contempt of "the
sinister moneyed interests"-
those men who were behind Mr..
Foraker, the opponent of Mr.. Taft
within his own party. and who are
now behind Governor Haskell and
his associates in the opposite
party"
In later paroxysm of virtue.
he said: Il regard it as a scandal
and a disgrace that Governor
Haskell should be connected in
any way with the management of
any national campaign"
To the unthinking and the short
memoried among our Republican
friends, these observations have
doubtless appeared impressive and
altogethermagnificent. Yetothers,
more thoughtful, will hesitate to
accept Mr.. Roosevelt at his own
valuation, as the apostle of self
abnegating independence, the Bit
ter foe of the corporate influence
IN politics, the uncnmpromising
exterminator of the tainted cam
paign.
-Four years ago next month f..
III. Hartman raised S260,OOO in
behalf of Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign
for reelection. through which sum,
Mr.. Hartman says. $4,000 votes
were turned in the city of New
York alone. " Hartman perform
ed this service at the special re-
quest of the President of the
United States. MIR. Roosevelt's s
political correspondence this year.
vivid as ltlt, Is not To be compared
in interest with that Of 1904. The
famous letter To My Dear Harri-
man" will always bear reprinting:
Now, my dear sir, you and
are practical men, and you ale on
the ground and know the condi-
tions better than / do. If YOU
think there is any danger Of your
visit To me causing trouble. or if
you think there is nothing special
| should be informed about, or no
matter in which | could give aid ,
why, of course, give up the visit
for the time being, and then few
weeks hence, before | write my
message, / shall get you to come
down to discuss certain govern
ment matters not connected with
the campaign"
Roosevelt, the mortified homilist
of 1905, is rather different from
Roosevelt, the worried campaigner
of 1904. A whole lot depends on
whose OK is being gored.

Roosevelt DiSsuStS Civilized World.

Theodore Roosevelt, the first
Emperor of the Uuited States,
would "dishonorably discharge"
any little Second-claSs Postmaster
or Departmental Clerk who might
evidence a desire to take an active
part in the campaign; but when it
comes to using the high power of
the Presidency, combined with the
action of his Cabinet, for the pur-
pose of filling the newspapers with
his Opinions and expoSitions of
his policies. that is quite another
matter. In reproducing an article
from the New York Sun. the
Petersburg IndeX-Appeal says:
Even the Republican New York
Sun gags at the outrageous course
of Theodore Roosevelt in the pres
ent campaign. Here is what it
said last Friday:
Let self-reSpecting Americans
of all political faiths unite in the
fervent prayer that the unexampled
frenzy or spaSm of Self-exhibition
which is now degrading the office
Of President of the United States
may end before the scandal invites
the attention and excites the dis
gust of the whole civilized world. >,

The Best Advertising Medium.

The local newspaper is the pr,at-
est thing the retailer has if he will
use 1t right, but u large proportion
are too prone To believe that the
editor will take care of their in
terestS whether they look after his
or not This is wrong. Ifmerch-
ants ms class would only take ad
vantage of the opportunities that
the local newspapers afford them
they would reap rewards far be-
yond their fondest dreams.
While self preservation is the
hrst law Of nature. editors of local
papers have a habit of letting self
interests go TO the limit when il
comes To a question of serving a
community. For this they are
entitled to recognition. which they
rarely receive.
No doubt the retailers have en-
couraged them as far az sentiment
goes. They have undoubtedly said
that they approved the editor s
methods and called him a good
boy, but in how many cases have
they fallen short in the real en-
couragement that countsl How
often have they neglected to use
ms column thinking that they
were clever in ii! In failing to
patronize him they have often
killed the goose that laid the golden
egg.
You must get behind the local
editor and push for all that you
are worth. He gives YOU 81 back
for every dollar you invest with
him. He furnishes for YOU at his
own expense one Of the biggest
assets Won pOSseSS-the medium
through which to let the people
know what YOU have tosell. With
IN recent years the mail order
proposition has been somewhat
bothersome. The editors Of the
country papers have done more
than all other influences combined
To win your business back into
normal channels and to reconvert
the farmer to the logical belief i'm
home trading.
Do not let it be said in your com
munity that you have let your
editors work go unappreciated.
Use his paper. Make him pros
porous and yourself rich in doing
it. IL you have foolish ideas about
the nonproductiveness of news
paper Advertising, throw them
off and try it out. One try will
prove nothing, but the constant
use of the paper in an intelligent
manner will produce results.
The best friend the business man
in the world has, next TO his wife,
is the local newspaper, and if he
doesn't get full value for this
friendship it is his fault, not the
EDITORS. The editor of the average
so called country paper has done
more to upbuild his own town and
the retailers in it than all other in
fluences combined. and it also
follows that as an almost unbroken
rule he is the least appreciated
person in his community.-Office

The Newark journal. (Newark, Ark.) 1901-1959, 1908-03-27

The trouble with the farmer all the
time is a lack of confidence in other
farmers. While he Is willing to trust
everything to the slick politician.
When is the day coming that the man
who, for the sake Of the loaves and
the fishes of political fortune, is not
allowed to carry away the peoples
votes by the ardor of his defense of
the old soldier, or some other thing
of the past, just then the light will
begin to byeak, and the day of hope
will have come to the farmer.

TO trade conditions Trade, like light
ming or like water, follows the lines
Of least resistance. Citizens and towns
exist upon economic foundations. On
the virgin western plains a small col
ony of settlers seek homes. The
wants and necessities of these set
Tiers must be supplied. The result is
trail point in the new colony. This
store becomes the nucleus of town
city in embryo. AS other settlers
come in, the town grows more impor-
taat, new industries are established
local government is organized, roads
fadiate from the place, banks and
other financial institutions are estab-
hshed, and here we have a thriving
town created.
This town exists because there is a
necessity for its existence, and this
necessity is the working out of
economic laws. Wherever communi-
ties exist, tradesmen will exist They
are a necessary part of the social and
business life. They are necessary
agents in the distribution of com
modities. They are the outgrowth
of thousands of years of CONNER
cialism, and they cannot be sup
! planted by any other system. Large
stores of the department kind
may grow up. They are also a neces-
sity and are revolutionary in char
acter, but there will ever remain a
place for the small store, it matters
not how large the city or how small
the town.

There are pessimists WHO view with

OF narrow views solemnly announce
that within a few years there will be

the so-calIed country merchant Will be

have the trade which is now divided
among a dozen or more small stores.
Some of them go so far in their dole
full predictions as to predict that the
business of the country will be trans
acted in the larger cities, and that
the country town shall become
thing of the past.

VOTES AGAINST HIMSELF.
Fort Dodge Mayor Defeats His Own
Saloon Petition.


Fort Dodge, Jan. 15.-Mayor Dun
combe voted against granting him
self and brother a saloon permit
William Connolly asked the council for
a license to run bar in the Dun
combe hotel belonging to the Dun
combe estate, of which the mayor is
heir and brother proprietor. The vote
in the council was tie and the mayor
voted against the license.
Fewer saloons and better ones,
was the sentiment expressed in the
council meeting when the matter was
taken up. Two men, Joseph Lmpof1
and William Connolly, asked for sa-.
loon permits. When the vote came on
the question it was tie. Mayor Dun :
combe wanted the whole matter post
poned whole week. but the vote on
that question was a tie, and the mayor
voted in the negative. The motion
was then made to reject the applica-
tons. The tie resulted again, and the
mayor settled matters, and seemingly
voted against himself and his brother
when he cast an affirmative vote on
the proposition to reject.
