far as he is concerned. Indeed, in
all circumstances. Mr.. Taft evidently
is determined to be cheerful-win
or lose.
On the other hand, having in
mind the Bible quotation herein
before set down. the presidents
first year only has been concluded
his initial term, as it were, is just
one-fourth gone. Or, to speak Ken
lucky wise, the game is yet young.
If a man be vouchsafed three years
to regain that which he has lost, or
imagines he has lost, in one, surely
he is justified in refusing imme-
diately to grow pessimistic and faint
hearted to any great extent
No complaint is registered in any
quarter that Mr.. Taft is lacking in
real and aggressive patriotism. At
worst, he is set down as a doubtful
strategist and political tactician,
which is precisely what his dis
tinguished and amazingly popular
predecessor most surely was not.
But the American people usually
are fair and square in their final
appraisements-
1t may 50 come TO pass, say two
years from now, that the American
people will be whooping things up
for Taft Ito beat the band"-which
is the way they whoop up things in
Indiana-and second term talk may
crowd the air to a positive elimin-
alton of all protest. Even then we
opine that Mr.. Taft still will be
good natured about it, and believe
it the peoples business more thu
his, a~nyway.-Washington Herald.

YERINGTON CHILD IS
DROWNED IN DITCH

While playing around in the yard
of the Fox home in Yerington on
Saturday afternoon the little two
year old daughter of Charles Fox. a
prominent merchant of Yerington
fell into an irrigating ditch and
was drowned. The child had been
in the yard for some time before
the mother went to call it. She
then found that the little one had
disappeared and on searching found
the body of the child lying in the
ditch dead.
Nearly overcome by grief the
mother grabbed the baby from the
water and carried it into the house,
where every effort was made to
revive it, but without success

TEDDY, The ONLY

What will we do with Teddy
when we get him back? Watterson
thinks he may be dictate, of the
American Republican American
plutocracy, to be exact. The in
surgents look upon him as their
natural leader-so do the ~conserva-
tonists. The standpat crowd look
TO him hoping that the force of his
name will pull the Republican
party out of the mire in which they
have put it, long enough to place
them in power again. What will
we do with him?
Or, perhaps more appropos, what
will Teddy do?
Is he coming back a progressive
or a standpatter, or will he try to
please both factions or attempt to
make enough noise to silence their
chickering's? He'll make the noise
sure.
Roosevelt is the greatest politician
of the age. He understands the
Americans natural love for frank
ness. He knows their admiration
for dashing courage. He plays up
on these two characteristics.
Naturally we do not associate guilt
and chicanery with noise and
buster, so the average American
thinks of Roosevelt as the quint
essence of outspoken honesty. Yet
he was the man that wrote Harri-
man letters, and boldly denied that
he used any Wall street money in
the campaign of 1904.
He was the man who with flourish
Of trumpets instituted a libel suit
a government suit, if you please
against the indianapolis News and
the New York World right in the
midst of the campaign of 1908.
When he knew those suits could
never be brought to trial-when he
did not want them brought to trial
under any circumstances.
Yet in spite of all these things,
in spite of the fact that no one
predatory" interest was ever re-
strained during his administration,
the people have continued to pin
their faith to Teddy-that is, the
Republican part of the people have
done so. Nor is it much wonder.
The peculiar nature of his years
hunt in Africa, the continued
ovation accorded him in Europe,
and the general high-light nature
of his performance have kept
attention focused on him.
But what will he do in American
politics7 Taft was his man. His
influence nominated - yea, and
elected the present occupant of the
White house. Will he support
him? His friend?
II he does so, he breaks with the
people. During the past year they
have learned to think. They have
begun TO see the truths which
Democracy has pointed out for
years. They have experienced the
blighting effects Of trust and tariff,
and they are determined to over-
throw the one and reduce the other.
Roosevelt may return from Elba
or another place, but he can no
longer lead the people back into
the arms of plutocracy.-Baker

when he had heard rumors that the

cuse. that the dates we're so faint in

look at the original draft The
date at the top, as you see, is in

i peed not say to you that the in
Gebtednes for which this draft was
drawn was incurred several years
before the present members of the
city government were elected, and
was audited and made a fixed and
legal obligation of the city before
we took Office, instead of any of US
fixing the award as this article
says. Probably ! never would
have seen the publication of this
draft had not an official brought it
to me last Friday and pointed out
the draft TO me. mentioned the
matter to you because right here
is where it should be mentioned.
And let me add that it concerns
you. the publishers and editors of
decent newspapers far than
it concerns me. If you can stand
such thinds in your great profes-
sion, the rest Of US can stand it, or
will try to stand it, until the hour
arrives when we shall make up our
minds to utterly destroy it and
take effective measures to that end.
1T is high time these forgers
and libelers were in states prison,
and the time is not far distant
when some of them will be there.
And just think of a man who is cap
able of doing things like this, being
possessed Of the notion he is Fl. to
hold any Office from mayor to pres
ident Of the United States. Nor
ally speaking. his mind must be a
bowling wilderness. Never will
the voters any where put such a
man in Office.
Now feel | am entirely right
in mentioning this matter to you, !
and that it will promote a proper
understanding and ID good. We
have stood here in New York City
for a long time, and the respectable
editors and publishers want, of all
things, to get rid of it. They
know the perpetuity of our insti-
tutions depends more on a free and
honest press than on all other COM
bined.
''The relation of public officials
and the press should be one of good
will on both sides. Public officials
can attest that the press of the
country is in the hands Of gentle

in a broad sense. We have also stated
that the times and chances are re-
markably propitious for entering upon
this last named career Why?
First. throughout the middle west
and Pacific coast region there are an
extraordinary number OF opportuni'
ties for starting new businesses and
growing up with them. or for break
ing into young businesses with surety
of securing proprietary interest there
in. In this We include opportun'
tiles TO acquire part OF the
millions OF acres being opened
through irrigation by the government
for cultivation.
Secondly. now is the time to Dor
row money: TO bet on ones own
brain and grit.
In the past decade the supply OF
gold (our standard OF valuesl has al
most doubled. Experts estimate that
the supply is now increasing steadily
az the rate OF approximately 8 per
cent per annum. And the increase
must grow Thus far only the skim
mings have been taken from the Alas
kan deposits The mother lodes are
still practically untouched. The same
is largely true of the Australian ter
ritory Mineralogists are expecting
Canada to soon add vastly to the pro
duction. The annual increase In pro-
duction OF gold must run up TO 10 per
cent before many years.
This all means that gold is depreci-
ating rapidly. Think for a minute OF
the mighty significance OF this.
The creditor class in this country
is not composed mainly OF the rich,
but OF the smaller bondholders, the
depositors of savings banks and
patrons OF insurance companies.
These are the real holders OF the gold,
this commodity which is already de-
preciating at the rate OF perhaps .
per cent per annum.
The poor fellow who 90 years ago
paid his first premium on a 20-year
endowment policy and has been de
voting his savings 10 annual premiums
can today receive only an amount 81
gold. which has a purchasing power
OF half OF that he paid to the insuf
ance company.
The man who today buys a 4 per
cent bond will in the future receive 4
nominal { per cent interest, but he
may actually during the next 10 or II
years receive no interest at all. by
reason OF the depreciation in purchas
ing power of gold. our weakening
standard.
To put il in a homely way, banks
bond sellers, insurance companies. AL
borrowers. are borrowing on a basis
that will not be half as big, or quar-
ter as big, when time for liquidation
comes.
