Many business men in omaha are
missing a golden opportunity to keep
the public informed.
And while you may not believe in
publicity-the people do, they want to
know about your business.
Had you not better give the people
what they want?
What good is a first-class plant, sat

Roosevelt Stands with Taft.


Colonel Roosevelt speech az the St.
Paul conservation congi css is a plOOI,
II pi oof we're needed, of his close syln-
patuy WIN. President raft in the worE
Oh tHe administration, at least 80 tar
as the carrying out OF the Roosevelt
policies are concerned. Wherever
Colonel Roosevelt had occasion 20 re-
fer to President Tafts poncies or
speech, lac praised them, and in the
main issues the two men stand
squarely together, just as they have
always STOOD, uospite all the hurrah
that mas been diuned IN our ears for
more than year by persons with
grievances seeking TO create a con-
tary impression.
Much that | have to say on con
seryatlon will be repetition Of what
was SO admirably said from this plat
form yesterday said Colonel Roose-
welt, referring to the presidents speech
in his Introductory.
Again, toward the conclusion of his
address, he said
Il have been astounded and de-
lighted on my return from abroad at
the progress made while ! was away. 4"
And again
"All friends of conservation should
be in heartiest agreement with the
policy which the president laid down
in connection with the coal oil and
phosphate lands, and | am glad to be
able to say that at its last session con-
gress fully completed the work OF sep
arating the surface title TO the land
from the mineral beneath"
The fundamental proposition of the
two speeches is the conserving of nat
ural resources so as to avoid waste
and obtain the largest good to the
largest number, both in the present
and future generations. At not one
essential point in the entire policy do
the two men disagree. This, of course,
is not surprising in view of their long
period of intimate personal and Off
cial association, but it may be men
toned simply as exposing the baseless
attempt which disappointed factions
have been making to create the pub
lie belief that discord existed between
the present and former administra-
tions. Now that both men have
spoken from the same platform, it
would be only fair to the people for
those who have been responsible for
this campaign of mischievous misrep-
resentstion to devote their time to bet
ter work. .
Colonel Roosevelt dealt with char
acteristic vigor with the danger of al
lowing predatory corporations to get
control of valuable resources, and
offered some advice which congress
may well afford to heed in the way
of precluding the possibility of such
a situation. - co.,. s.s.e. E..,st

Party Textbooks.

The republicans have issued their
campaign text book, ana the demo-
Gratis have also issued theirs, The
republican book is simple record of
the achievements OF the party, while
the democrats is a mere compilation
of promises for themselves and criti-
cisms and Misrepresentation of the
republicans.
Playing, as usual, on the credulity
of the public, the democrats will be
Obliged to confne themselves to prog
nostication, since they have no record
OF achievement of late years to which
they may refer, and they will not dare
refer to the one they left behind them
the last time they were entrusted
with power" Their whole text book,
therefore, must be argumentative,
while that of the republicans is argu-
ment only as every good record must
obviously be a good argument"
Not since the civil war has a con-
gress accomplished as many actual re-
suits. as much constructive legislation
in response to popuiar demand, as did
the sixty-first congress-, and the con-
tents of this years republican text
book ought, therefore, to prove the
most impressive that the party ever
has submitted to the PEOPLE. The
book is compiled with scrupulous
fidelity to facts and details, and is a
wonderful source of political and in
dustrial information. 1t presents not
only record Of the present admins
tration up TO date. with its policies
and principles, but contains a vast
amount of useful information as to
labor and commerce in this country.

Brooklyn Eagle Qnd. dem)
A statement of the reasons which should
lead voters in the coming November cleo
ton to cast their ballots for republican can
didates for congress" has been sent from
Beverly to the chairman Of the national
congressional republican committee 1t
should be widely circulated. In fact, 1t
should be read by every voter who expects
to go to the polls, though there are those
who will be disappointed by 1t.
1t is not necessary to explain why polit-
ical literature which is not highly sea-
soned pals upon the palate of the country
Nor is the president unaware Of what it
has become accustomed to. He knows
what it has been taught to expect and
makes no effort whatever to appeal to the
acquired taste. Hence, the likelihood that
some will be disappointed.
None the less, the letter should be re-
served for use hereafter 1t should be kept
where the presidents of the future can find
1t without trouble. This in the interest of
the palate alluded to. which has become
more than a trfle jaded and which will be
none the worse for restoration to the
normal And this in the interests of the
presidents themselves, lest there be re-
lapse.
All the terms used are those of ex-
acutude, just what has been done and Just
what is sought to be done being clearly,
coldly and incontrovertibly set forth with
no suggestion of fervor, to say nothing of

SCORE ONE FOR TAFT.

Mines.


Chicago Post
The dangerous Industry Of mining is likely
TO be we'll served by the new bureau of
mines President Taft has appointed as its
head the best man for the place, DR..
Joseph Austin Holmes of the geological
survey. There was one argument against
the appointment OF Or. Holmes, a political
argument Mr. Ballingers friends felt that
DR.. Holmes should be kept out of the bu-
reau of mines because he is close friend
Of Pinchot and Garfield. That DR.. Holmes
friendship for Pinchot untitled him for Of
flee, in spite of his record as a public
servant, was the feeling Of Mr.. BalIlngers
friends. Against this partisan spirit Presi-
dent Taft has prevailed. He has given Of
flee to the man whom both mine employers
and employees are anxious TO see in the SER
vice, and in doing so he has made honorable
preference between the personal interests OF
Mr. Ballnger and the wide social interests
of American miners.

The growth of business at the
Union stock yards at South Omaha is
proof of the steadily increasing i'm
portance of the territory that is served
by Omaha. The farmers of Nebraska
and the cattle resources of the entire
section are finding the local market
facilities most attractive. One princi-
pal result of this is an increase in
business at rate that outstrips any
other live stock market in the country.
