AS WE SEE 1T!

A man is a man to our mind ir-
respective of his occupation, wealth
or social standing. And contrary
wise a rascal is a rascal to our mind
in spite of the cut of his clothes.
The big guns of Falls city have no
more occasion 10 raise a howl when
some of their dirty FRANKS are given
publicity than the little fry. Prom
inenee is too often permitted TO cloak
the rascalites of the upper set. The
under dog is expected TO do penance
for beth sets just because he is down
and at the other fellows mercy. The
Tribene, however, refuses to be part
ner to anything SO mean and despic-
able. News, that to our mind ought
TO be known. will be published no mat
ter whom it may oncern. We hold
ourselves responsible for the publica-
ton of the facts, not the results. We
confess to being new ON the ground,
and keenly feel our limitations. But.
as We get next to the actual facts
our readers can rest assured that we
will deliver the goods, without fear
or favor. The %wickedness higher up,
will be unearthed and exposed. We
want to be fair and true to fact. We
do not consider it in our province to
go beyond the matter of giving pub
licity to things as they are. 1t is
for the officers and the people to
deal with the conditions.

THE DUTY.

There is a short cut to good mum
icipal government. Good government
is the product of good citizens. If
otherwise good men neglect their
duty as citizens, bad men stand
ready to take the reins and drive
speedily to bad government. In or
der TO render proper service to Cae.
sar. (the government, we must first
render to God that which belongs to
Him.
The man who climbs into office be
cause he has first crawled through
the saloon, the dive. the brothel and
the gambling den, will not regard his
oath of office when he ONE to take
the office, His oath is nothing to
such a politician. He glibly swal-
lows the oath and Immediately for
gets it, because he has first forgot
ten God. He takes his oath, affirm
ing in the most solemn manner, that
he will execute the law and obey
the constitution of his city, state and
nation. This is done as a matter of
mere routine. 1t has little or no
meaning to an irreligious, ungodly
man. His oath serves as a mere
blind for those citizens wha are old.
fashioned enough to believe in an
oath of affirmation as an end of all
question or controversy.
Bad government soon follows. The
things begin to so wrong in civic
affairs, The police department is
inefficient; unsanitary conditions pre-
vail; wealthy corporations find favor
as against public interests: saloons,
gambling dens and vice become de.
fiant; taxes increase, but the funds
are m~isapplied or squandered, and
the taxpayer is helpless.
All this and much more, has be.
come possible in municipal govern.
ment, because ungodly. irreligious, de
PRAYED men have been handed the
reins of government. Do these con.
ditions surprise anybody? Does any
one expect a man to serve his
fellowmen who does not obey MOI
serve God? AS long as good men
religious men. continue to show
themselves to be bad citizens by
refusing to put their religion into
local politics, the evils that besei
municipal government will prevail
There is nothing obscure about it.
The cure is plain, If Christianity
means anything it has the power tC
regenerate the city. A timid, half
hearted faith, a religion of fear and
doubt will not save the city. Religi
on,-even the religion of love, is 8
rugged, stalwart, courageous thing
The religion of Christ is the religion
of love,-that love that conquers sir
and wrong everywhere, 1t ventures
much, hazards much, dares to be
true. 1t hesitates not because it is
sure the good is stronger than evil
The religion of love is willing to
undertake large tasks. Infinite love
in action is the meaning of the cross
We Christians ought to know that
if we are to save others-the city.
the state, nation or race,-we must
give ourselves to the task. That is
Christ's way of saving this world,

ToeEY's CARD TO THE PUBLIC

George E. Tobey, candidate for

ing the vital planks of his platform.
An inspection of the platform will
convince the most fastidious that it
contains no suffering notes. 1t is
as follows:
Il stand for the declaration of
the last national republican platform
and the pledge of President Taft, and
the tariff should be revised down

Il believe that pledge should be
kept and that there should especially
be a revision downward on trust-con-
trolled articles and on those things
which are so rapidly increasing the
cost of living.
Il am for a permanent tariff com

gate schedules and abate abuses

Dr. Yates Last Word.

Not having finished my reply t.

that have imposed upon me dOub-
le duty this week in having to finish
that reply and also a reply to my old
friend, Mr., CowaIt, fr friends we
are, though we differ on this point.
/ proved last week that the Sea-
board railroad has and will continue
to pay more money into the county
@ than we have paid on the railroad
bond and in the meantime has so
developed the county as to cause
three other railroads TO come In which
are also paying taxes. The combin-
ed taxes paid in the county w the

Of this goes into the State funds Ia

county for $4,000, and Just appro.
pirate our county's part Of the rail
road taxes to paying the interest
which would be g. 800 for the first
year, say our partof the railroad tax.
es on a conservative estimate would
be 81 900, YOU see it would leave us
only sc, 800 to dig up of the inter
est on the whole issue.
Mr.. Cowart and Mr.. Farmer both
seem to think that this bond issue
will work an awful hardship on the
poor man and the day laborer, while
can see in it the only good thing
