our reactionary friends are against
Borah and French because they
themselves do not approve of

They condemn Roosevelt be-
cause they say he pushed off
the tariff question onto Taft.
They condemn La Toilette be-

denim Borah and French because
they know they will be fair in

are trying to accomplish genuine

FOR THE POSTUM

In commenting upon a compar-
ison made by the Portland Ore
CONAN of the relative merits,
from a democratic standpoint, of
Woodrow Wilson and Champ
Clark, in which the Oregonlan
says Clark is just a Missouri
democrat" while Wilson is "a
New Jersey mugwump with a
thin veneer of new democracy a
scholarly effigy, clothed to look
like a democrat" the Lewiston
Tribune makes the following true
to-life pen-picture of Champ Clark
which, while it may not please,
cannot but be recognized by even
his most devout admirers. The
Tribune says:
Clark is just a democrat, and
that's all Whatever the boys
of the party are for, he is for,
too. whether to go forward or
backward, up or down, sidestep
or stand still.
On the other hand Governor
Wilson wants to go forward, as
as he conceives it, and search out
new and untrodden paths. That
alienates many democrats who
do not want to go that way, or
who are not certain which way
they do want to go.
Governor Harmon does not
want to lead the party and the
people into strange and devious
ways, but prefers to deal with
solid facts in solid and decisive
manner, in the light of the album
dant wisdom and potential agen-
cies already existing for that pur-
pose. That alienates many demo-
Gratis from him, who do not want
to be thought standing still, as
they conceive it, but must be in
the swim for new and progress
sive things, in the abstract, and
without having to define or de-
fend them.
Clark suits both of these ele-
ments, and other elements, be-
cause he is not exposed to the OBJ
jections raised against going in
either direction, or in any other
direction. He is ready to fish
or cut bait, shoot or run, just as
circumstances indicate or accord
ing to the way the cat is going
to jump. OF course, too, he is
splendid fellow, useful fellow,
who has place quite as essential
to our public life as that attach
ed to the standards of Governor
Harmon and Governor Wilson.
But that place can HARDLY BE
THE PRESIDENCY, although
the man who is willing to pro-
phesy dogmatically that it is, or
that it isn't, or as to anything
else that we, the people, may
take it into our blessed heads to
do these piping days, is certainly
oblivious to the signs of the times.
