SNUBBING THE PRESIDENT.

The Minnesotans who have declined
to be present at a banquet to Presi-
dent Taft when he reaches the Twin
cities because Of their opposition to
his candidacy for a SECOND term. are
following a wrong course. While
their destinations were couched in
that they did not care to be present
at an affair complimentary to the
chief executive.
1t is true that the president is on
practically a campaign tour, but that
does not change the fact that he is
the head of the nation, and that the
highest courtesies are due him in that
position. This is true whether we be-
lieve he has made a mistake in a pub
lie policy or not. We can not as a
people neglect to honor the position
even If we do not endorse the man.
This Is even tru of the man
who has been named as a candidate
for the position. Were Il Democratic
candidate for the presidency to visit
this city. it would be the duty of Re-
publicans as we'll as Democrats to
see that he received every courtesy
due him as A prospective president.
There a be no difference between
such a candidate who has not been
nominated and one who has.
President Taft's reciprocity scheme
met with a more vigorous protest
from the people of North Dakota
than n other state. Yet as a WIS.,
itor to the state he would be entitled
to the cOurtesies and consideration
due his position. Those who sat with
him at the banquet board might not
support him in his campaign for re-
nomination and even for reelection.
Nor would their attendance bind
them to such action. Senator Cum
minis. one of the strongest anti-Taft
men in the country. was one of the
committee which welcomed the pres
ldent to Iowa. And he lost nothing

in the estimation of his friends by
doing SO.
The greatest political reform this
country needs is to have its elections
settled by cool. deliberate Judgment
rather than no and hasty prejudice.
1t is time for campaigns to be based
on appeals to reason rather than on
those to the passions. President Taft,
no matter what other faults no may
have. is broad enough to accept the
verdict of the people ON his acts.
He is submitting his Ease and present
ing his brief. and If the great jury
of the public renders u verdict
against him. he will not complain.
That is the spirit Of the true fighter.
That is the spirit which commends
itself to the man who believes in a
fair hearing and a square deal. To
refuse to attend a banquet in his
honor is not showing the ann spirit
of fairness that is shown by the pres

The death list caused by the burst
ing of the reservoir dam at Austin.
PENNSYLVANIA. last Saturday is far be-
low the first estimates. yet it is large
enough TO make the calamity an APP
palling one. That the onrushing wall
of water did not lay a heavier toll of
meerly an accident. True, the disas-
ter did not approach the dimensions
Of the Johnstown flood of 1889 when
weston when the death loss was
enough call to serve as a warning.
The dam was examined two years
ago by it's designing engineer and
pronounced unsafe, recommending
extensive alterations and repairs. The
which owned the dan1. the
power from which was utilized in op-
Grating their mills, We're constructing
a second dam above the one which
broke, the purpose being to take ::
part of the pressure from the owe
dam. In January of last year a
workman employed in h mills. who
was passing the dam saw it buckle
and slide forward nearly four feet on
its foundations. He gave the alarm
and the people living below the
structure fed to the hills. Workmen.
at the risk of their lives. went be-
low the dam and with dynamite blew
a hole through the structure and the
dam was emptied through this aper-
ture. This saved a calamity at that
time.
The design of the dam was defec-
tive, the concrete breast which was
opposed to the water in the lake was
perpendicular instead of slanting to-
ward the water the better to with
stand the pressure. There was a crack
in the structure one-siXteenth Of an
inch wide and extending from top
to bottom. These conditions were
known and yet no effort was made
to make the structure safe and the
people living in the narrow valley be-
low slept peacefully on. 1t was the
story of Noah warning and the peo-
pie not needing, only the evidences of
the impending disaster were visual in
stead of oral.
People living in a prairie country
can not comprehend the consequences
Of an incident like the n at Aus
tin. Inc lam was Dullt across Il
narrow valley hemmed in on either
side by steep hills. When the great
lake of imprisoned waters broke their
bounds they rushed down this mar
row valley wrecking and crushing
houses and loaded with debris which
became death dealing missiles
to those in the path of the flood.
Probably few were drowned. The
majority met death in the crash of
wrecked buildings and the timbers
floating in the mad maelstrom.
An official investigation will likely
lie made to determine whether or not
the company which owned and utiliz-
ed the dam were criminally negligent.
If it is found to he SO, there will
probably be criminal prosecutions in
stituted TO punish those directly re-
sponsible. Meantime. it looks as if
those who continued to live below
the dam in utter disregard of its dan
gerous conditions and in defiance of
the consequences were almost as
guilty as the owners. There might
have been circumstances which in a
way forced them to reside in the VIII
lagos that were endangered, but GER
tainly they were not such as would
Justify the risk of life.
