M0NARCHIAL RULERSHIp.

|
whether the American people
value self government sufici-
entity to rebuke the bold at
tempt made by President
Roosevelt to introduce a
dictatorial form of rulership
J which in effect differs but
slightly from European i'm
perialism or monarchy.
During all of President
Roosevelt's administration his
aim has been to deprive states
and individual bodies of their
rights and prerogatives and
centralize the same in the per-
son of the president. His eff
forts have been directed
towards making the office of
the president as nearly equal
to that of an emperor or
king as possible, and a mis-
guided horde of man worship
ers and blind party zea1ots
has seconded him in his ef-
forts to degree making re-
suits only too noticeable.
Then follows as natural
sequence the introduction of
the system of throne success
sion, where the retiring ruler
selects his successor, and by
means of the powers of coer-
cion centralized in the office
OF president conpels his adop-
ton.
This is the program which
President Roosevelt has car
ried out, aided and abetted by
menials and the thoughtless
on every hand. AS consequ-
ence the office of president to-
day has more of the peoples
rights corraled aud centralized
within itself than ever before;
and the man who today stands
before the people as the al
legged choice for successor to
the presidency is one selected
by the retiring president and
by him forced upon the public
by means of all the powers at
the command of the admins
trative office.
That man is VIM. H. Taft, q
person who is better known
for his hostile attitude towards
the laboring and producing
classes of the United States
than for anything else, a man
possesses no other distinction
in the world than that of hav-
ing been picked by his dicta-
torial aud arbitrary master az
successor to the rulership of
the people of the United States.
Will the American people,
who profess allegiance to a
government of, for and by the
people, stand for this encroach-
ment upon the rights and
principles which they claim
to cherish 80 reverently and
deeply? Will they, by their
aid support, encourage this
gradual introduction of mon
archism into their form of
government? Will they
acknowledge that they have
degenerated into mere party
automatons, serfs of dynasty
of self-created and self per-
petuating rulers, or will they
assert their rights as free and
in dependent citizens of great
and progressive republic and
show the world that in the
United States, at least, the
people-the common people,
all the people-are the sove-
reign rulers of their country,
and that neither imperialism
nor monarchism, nor their
fore runners-autocracy and
dictatorship-will be tolerated
in any form whatsoever?-

Another Company Wants In?

Recently representative Of one Of
the largest operating oil companies in
the United States came here to look
over the ground with a view Of sinking
a deep we'll provided block of some
$500 acres could be secured. He want
ed block south and west of town, bat
as that section is already under lease to
various parties he could not get in.
He arranged with one of our citizens
to look after his interests and went
away.
This local representative took
proposition to the local representatives
of the keystone Oil and Gas Company
that if they would turn over 1000 acres
of their leases the new Company would
sink deep we'll on it, but nothing
came of it.
Taking the fact that coal is found ia
such quantities south and southwest of
town, it seems little strange that the
company does not talk Of sinking core
holes on their leases north and north
east of town. There is large body of
land north and northwest not under
lease and these people would give sub
stantial encouragement to any RESPONSE
BILE company who would actually besia
drilling.
These people want development and
are considering the matter of employing
driller to come and make series of
tests for them. They argue that il
there is so much coal south of the city
there must be little north and they
want to find out if they are right Or
not.

while this prescription is often pre-

splendid results, he could see no reason
why it would not be splendid remedy

upon the kidney structure, cleansing

carol, with its liquid, sweet melody,
which he'd learned at his mothers
knee, and it was the American girl
across the court who was singing it:
When Christ our Lord was born
On Christmas night.
No wonder the tears came to his
eyes. That particular carol and that
particular girl made up a combination
to which he was a bit sensitive if the
truth had been dragged from him.
Just that very morning he had writ

"There's a little American girl oppo-
