BRICKBATS OR BoQUfTS?

President Taft has been in office
long enough for the people to form
some idea as to the character and
policies of Theodore Roosevelt's
heavyweight successor. At the be.
ginning of his term he was sharply
criticized on the ground that his car
was too handy for the interests
and that, despite his appearance OF
strength. he had a weak backbone.
This last thrust has been discred-
tied. During the recent session OF
congress the president on more than
one occasion asserted himself and in
such way that there was no doubt
as to his standing.

thronged with hundreds Of drunken
and vicious people All nations were
represented in the uncomfortable
mob. Negroes from the West In

men of nearly every nation were
represented in that riotous popula-
ton.

the closing of the Civil War and the

And yet he is million miles from
being as popular as Roosevelt. who
became an idol Of thepeople because
he would take firm stand, as Taft
did at the extraordinary session.
The cause of this is found in many
things.
Taft's tariff stand hasn't made a
hit with the people:
He urged reduction of the tariff
was elected on a platform which the
people believed meant downward re-
vision, and then he signed a tariff
bill which contained a wooden sched-
ule which the president himself con-
demned as being too high.
Then when La Toilette and his
lower schedule came along, Taft
promptly vetoed it, on the theory
that the information at hand was in
complete; in other words. that con-
gress didn't know what it was doing
and that the tariff commission should
attend to the matter.
The presidents theory may have
been right but his attitude was un-
popular.
His attitude on reciprocity may
have been right but it was unpopu-
lar.
His attitude regarding Richard A.
Ballinger may have been right, but
it was unpopular.
And so it goes.
Now the president is off for a
swing around the circle.
Boquets are the nice things to
hand a president on such jaunt,
but some rude states may insist on
brickbats. -Bemidii Pioneer.

IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?

If life worth living? Ask the flowers that spread
Their summer glory DER the blushing bed.
They court the sun; and you debate if light
Were not much better swallowed up in light.
Is life worth living? Is the sun worth shining,
The sea worth flowing, the grass worth grow
ing?
The clouds worth raining your wit worth
straining?
Is life worth living? When all Nature cries
Amen to you, I'll shut both ears and eyes,
And creep for comfort where the dead man lies.
Is life worth living? Yours or mine? Inaninity
May suit your taste! My watchword is Humanity;
I'm proud to be a man, the top of Nature,
And, as a man with men, to grow to kingly
stature.

EDITORIALS AND MONEY.

The only way to make an editoria
page pay is to fill it with adyertis-
ing, is the conclusion of Minnesota
editor.
The editor is wrong.
That is the one best way to keep
an editorial page from paying.
A newspaper, like bank or a
grocery store. is run to make money
You may consider it a shame that
that this condition exists but
there is no argument, the fact stares
you in the face.
A railroad is operated for money,
and yet a railroad is a public con-
veyance, it belongs in part to the
public and the courts oblige the
roads to meet the demands of the
patrons.
A newspaper is in that class. 1t
is semi-public IN nature.
The public has right to demand
and receive certain things, as the
truth, fairness, consideration, all
the news all the time, and
Editorial conviction.
A spineless newspaper will sell its
editorial page to advertisers. When
it does that it is cheating it's readers.
The readers have a right to de-
mand of the paper expressions of
opinion, Interpretation of events
and convictions.
Humanity has not changed since
the days of Horace Greeley and
Charles Dana. Have editors changed?
If not where are the men who
think and write with the convic-
ton that characterized those mas
tiers?
An editorial page pays only when
it wins for the paper the confidence
and respect of the readers.
Don't be a jelly fish. Make your
paper stand for something.
1t is always losing game to
cringe and it always pays to be a
man.

Matamoras, Mex, Sept. 25-There

moras who remember the riotous
town Of Bagdad, which at the height
of its prosperity had a population OF
nearly ten thousand and was the
neutral port through which practi-
cally all the cotton from Texas and
other southern states was exported
during the Civil War when the
southern ports were blocaded.
Bagdad was on the Mexican side
of the Rio Grande near the mouth
of the river. about twenty-five miles
east of Matamoras. With the clos
ing of the Southern ports by Union
blocading vessels the necessity of
finding an outlet for cotton became
urgent. 1t was in response to this
demand that Bagdad came into be-
ing.
A Cosmopolitan Population
The population of Bagdad was
cosmopolitan. Thieves, fortune
hunters, bandits, adventurers and
the riffraff of the seven seas gather
ed there and reyeled in the gold that
flowed through the place. Finally
the town met the fate of it's Biblical
predecessor in crime, Gomorrah,
and was completely destroyed.
In October, 1867, Bagdad was
swept away by a combination hurri-
cane and tidal wave. More than
three thousand lives were lost and
not vestige remains to mark the
site of the town. TWAS annihilated
in one night.
Crime and Chaos Ruled
R. M. Miller, who came from New
Orleans to Matamoras in 1863 and
established a mercantile business
here, is still resident of the town.

Civil War;" Mr.. Miller said, and
Immediately following the close of
that strife, crime and chaos ruled
