ONLY WELL PEOPLE
FIT FOR LAKEWOOD

resent the clamor raised against the benefcence of Nathan straus
and the Preyentorium Society. There are others opposed who
would also expei the private sanatoriums that are run for a profit
at Lakewood, and these extremists are more logical than those
who simply oppose the preventorium because it is intended to care
for the children of poor parents. If Lakewood is only for the
healthy, II doctors shall not send their sick patients there. if there
is to be a ban upon all who need the air of the pines. and a vel
come only for those who don't need it, Lakewood will earn d UNIQUE
character. But what can we think of healthy people settling down
in one of the most naturally healthful sections of the State and
proclaimirg a ban upon the sick and suffering and upon the bring
ing there of well children to prevent causes for sickness?

WHERE PRESIDENT
TAFT STANDS

yeloped natural resources. On these subjects the President spoke
at different times before the election and afterwards, but he left
doubts in the public mind, especially as to conservation. Tomor.
row his special message on trusts and combinations, already pre-
pared, is expected to be sent to Congress, and a little later a special
message on conservation will make its appearance. Every line Of
these messages will be well scrutinized. If they are received with
favor by the country, President Taft will regain the prestige he
has lost since the special session last year, and the growing feeling
of distrust of his administration will be dissipated. Such a result
would be fortunate for the country, as well as for the administra
tion. Faith in the President, belief in his entire loyalty to the
popular interests and of his frmness in opposing those influences
that seek to exploit them should never be impaired. Ii is the sin
cere and earnest wish of every patriotic ma that the Presidents
attitude will be so well and satisfactorily explained that there will
be no ground for any honest criticism of his course.

A Versailles paper charges the mer-
chants Of Versailles, by inuendo, Of
the following: They do not advertise
because they have NO bargains to Of
fer. They want to pocket every
thing, without expense, so do not adj
vertise. They have entered into a
combination to pay the same prices,
and sell at the same prices, so never
pay the market prices Tor produce,
and sell their goods 50 high as to
force their patrons to patronlze mail
O,!e! houses. These accusations
would be serious if true. but the pa
per referred to is more an exponent
of Slower than it is of Versailles, and
due allowance must be made for its
effort to tear down the home town in
order to build uD the ether. Cu..
merchants take it good natu,cdly, as
evidenced by their patronage, and
apparently enjoy the game.

The Need Of Big Men.

the United States is vastly more diff
cult than that Of a kingdom. A king
dom a get along with a small mar
as king, for he is for the most part &
mere figure of speech; but a republic
must suffer if it is governed by little
men. (Inasmuch as you cannot very
well breed big men to order, many
kings must OF necessity be little fell
lows.)
Perhaps VIC had better define the
phrase big man A man may be
physically Zig but a dwarf mentally
or morally. He may be big mentally
and be deficient or dcpraved morally.
He big be big morally and deficient
mentally. He may be big mentally,
physically and morally, but may be
So narrowed by lifelong p~rejudices
and training that he is useless to his
generation. By a big man We
mean a man OF clear intellectual
vision, of keen moral perceptions and
who belongs to his age, without the
slightest reference to his physical size
and proportions
We need big men in every depart
mcnt Of the government from school
director to president Vi the nation.
and Of a largcncss proportionatc to
the duties they have to perform. We
need 4 big man for rural school dircc-

children with the spirit of the farm
and teach in farm terms, a school
director who will v;si, the Scitool ire

CT whom he has chosen.
We need big men for the county
supervisors, men who can see over
the whole county and eNpend the tau
6 wisely, whether in building good
bridges, or making good roads. and
who will provide for the poor with
ont encouraging paupcri,m.
We need very big men to conduct
our county, state and metropolitan
papers: for while not chosen bv the
people, they are an essential PAT 81
democratic or republican government.
They need to be men who have hon
est convictions, the ability to state
them and the courage to fight for

mixed up with the details OF politics.
ror the slaves Of parties; men who
are not to be bought by a pos.oaice

We need big men for legislators

or party; statesmen, not mere poll
