NO SECONDTERM
DECLARATION

If William ]. Bryan shall be elected
president of the United States these
words, written by Mr.. Bryan just after
he had received news of his nomina-
ton, will become among the most i'm
portant in the English language.
The presidency is the highest Off
cial position in the world, and no one
occupying it can afford to have his
views upon public questions biased by
personal ambition. Recognizing his
responsibility TO God and his obliga-
ton to his countrymen, he should en-
ter the discharge of his duties with
singleness of purpose. Believing that
one can best do this when he is not
planning for a second term, I an
nounce now, as have on former occa-
siOns, that if elected / shall not be a
candidate for reelection"
Mr.. Bryan would hardly be inaugu-
rated until the newspapers would be
engaged in discussing his successor
As his administration proceeded, with
the bringing forward of new men
through democratic control of affairs
booms would be started for various
democrats, and soon We should be in
the midst of a campaign for the nomi
nation by men who aspired to follow
him in the White House.
The Arkansas Gazette thinks Mr.
Bryan should not have made this dec
laration. Unwritten law gives a pre-
sident the unquestioned right to be {
candidate for a second term, ever
though unwritten law forbids a third
term. If as Mr. Bryan SO broadly in
Inmates, a president of the United
States can best serve his eountr!
when he is not to offer again for the
Office, the presidential tenure should
be made longer than four years, anC
the the chief magistrate restricted tt
one term.

"The Morning Journal has no per-
sonai quarrel with Mr. Andrews. In
some ways and along some lines he
is a hard worker. Were his energy
and shrewdness incorporated in a man
of different type and character he
would be a citaizen and party work
er of the highest usefulness. There
is no need to enter into any analysis
of the Andrews character or the An.
drews record. Both are known. The
vital fact is just this: that the rank
and file of republicans and the vast
body of citizens win not vote for An
drews; that only the most regular and
devoted of partisan republicans will
support him in the event of his nomi-
nation; that the support of these men,
even, will be passive and lukewarm.
His nomination means defeat for the
republican party. There are repub-
licans now opposing Mr. Andrews who
will support him in a tepid sort of
fashion, IN the event Of his nomina-
ton. There are men, sound, life
long, Woodworking, faithful republi-
cans who win deem it their duty TO
oppose him in the event of his nomi-
nation; and for the good of the ter
ritory and the future good of the re-
publican party to defeat him.
And among republicans who are
thoughtful and far-seeing and who
really care more for party success
than for personal advantage, this lat
ter class is in the majority.
Knowing the sentiment of the peo-
pie of New Mexico, knowing the santi-
ment of the rank and file of repub-
licans; knowing the feeling OF party
workers, the man, or set of men VINO
will still force Mr.. Andrews nominal
ton on the party will be assuming a
heavy responsibility.
THE call for the republican conven-
ton for the nomination OF delegate
to congress has been made for Au-
gust 18th in Santa Fe. 1t is time now
for the honest republicans of New
Mexico to wake up, to take an active
interest in the proceedings and to see
to it that their representatives to the
Santa Fe meeting go there charged
with the duty of nominating man
whom loyal republicans can support
without apologizing to conscience and
their friends"
Bisbee daily review., 1908-07-18

The people" is 2 phrase that Is
daily subjected to abuse in the dema-
gogy of politics. But when William
J. Bryan said This is a nomination
as purely from the people as can be-
he surely spoke the truth.
We don't know how nomination
could be more truly from the people
than was Mr.. Bryan's There were no
federal oficehoIders to work for him ;
the great corporations surely did not
support him; and there were various
state organizations that, far from us.
ing the machinery for him, would have
been glad to use it against him if the
voice of the people had not stayed
such a course of action.

AUTOMOBILE TOURS.


More than half hundred touring
cars on the road in the fifth annual
contest under the auspices of the
American Automobile association
There is a commercial interest attach
ing TO these annual runs" The ma
chimes are carefully watched from the
standpoint of manufacturers. There is
desire TO ascertain the weakness
and the lines of strength Of the many
makes" which are offered to the
steadily swelling company of automo-
bile buyers.
But there is another aspect which
has much greater interest to the un-
commercial traveller. The automobile
tour is. becoming an increasingly pop
ular form of'summer outing. The parts
Of the United States where roads
are fairly good are being revealed to
Americans as never before. The hasty
glimpses of the country one gets from
the car window as one flies along a
transcontinental railway line tell com
paratively little of the real life of the
people. It is the main travelled road
from town to town which shows the
homes and the prevailing types of cit
izenship, says the Chicago Tribune.
The monotonous hours which must
be spent on long railroad trips. upon
specially constructed track graded to
level cannot be compared with the
l'exhilirating experiences of country
road travel, up hill and down, through
village and town, with the greater
freedom of stopovers and the oppor-
tunities for rest and refreshment.
The route laid out for the fifth tour,
starting from Buffalo, passes through
Cambridge Springs to Pittsburg'
thence eastward through Bedford
Springs and Harrisburg to PhiIadel-
phia. From<the Quaker city the tour
/ list goes to Albany and Boston, thence
to Poland Springs and Rangely Lakes
in Maine, and thence, turning west
ward again, to Saratoga Springs.
| The names of the places sufficiently
indicate the pleasures in store for the
participants. Five mountain ranges
will be crossed. The best scenery of
the eastern states will be viewed. The
roads have been mapped and their
relief stations" plainly indicated in
convenient, up-to-date automobile ga.
zetteers which leave nothing of de,
sired information unsupplied.
The contestants in the tour for a
promised trophy are but few. But oy-
| er the whole route OF 100 miles, or
over shorter sections of it, and here
and there and everywhere in the older
states, the automobile tourists are to
be seen. They follow the pioneer road
hunters. They are revolutionizing
summer travel. In a comparatively
few years they have become notably
numerous and conspicuous. These
trips bring to their participants pleas
ure, rest, and health, and added knowl-
! edge Of the country. The last is some
| thing of which most Americans stand
in great need.

increase of four mills in the city taxa
ton, which has been rendered neces-
sary in part by the maintenance of a
paid fire department, citizens should
take into consideration that they now
have real fire department and that
through its agency there will be a
saving in insurance of about $4,000
a year. The cost of the fire depart

n1nG1N1A,s FORESTS.

The Legislature has passed the Ster-
rett bill. providing for the taxation
of the timber trees of the State, which
is destined, we fear, to have n serious
effect upon the States interests.
Lands arc already included in the
assessment for taxation, but this bill
proposes in addition that the trees
shall also be taxed. No Intelligent ma
ton of Europe or the world would thus
place a premium upon the destruction
OF ifs timber
The streams OF the state are depend-
cnt upon tho forests about their head
waters for the regulation Of their
flow. The springs which feed these
streams would soon be destroyed If the
forests should be removed. The down.
pour OF rain quickly washes away the
rich surface soil when tho protection
afforded by the shrub and tree growth
has been lost in forest removals.
The climatic effect of forests is well
known TO students of every land, and
Germany Switzerland, France, Japan
and other nations encourage and pro-
tect their forests by stringent laws, In
stead of encouraging their speedy re-
moval.
Pennsylvania and New York have ex-
pended much money in the purchase OF
forest lands about the headwaters OF
the rivers of those States, and are
carefully guarding them from fires and
the ak.
Massachusetts probably is foremost
in the protection of her forests.
| In ten years, at the present rate OF
forest removals. the forests throughout
the Southern States will be practically
extinct, and in seventeen years tht
great forests Of the United States vii
have passed away.
When land is taxed beyond its pro
ductive capacity, as in long time crol
of timber, the farmer or owneI
must in self protection cut down .th'
trees and convert them into lumbe
or fuel.

Hubbard on the Inflated expedition into
Labrador, which resulted in Hubard's

over the Same bleak trail, came as close
to death by starving as men who miss

Rhea certainly stands very high In the

Rhea and his appointment, and shows
the injustice that has been done him
as a mans neighbors and daily com.
