Strauss and the Wind

Despite the almost universal condem-
nation of Colonel Roosevelt by the press
throughout the country and the failure
of men of first magnitude to accept his
viewso on the solution OF vexed questions.
it is a remarkable fact that whenever
there is a chance for the people TO show
a choice between Mr.. Taft and Roosevelt
the latter is given a marked preference.
For the explanation of this condition
we must conclude that the mass of the
people, whether Republican or Demo-
cratic. favor that class of ideas and
leaders who are termed, whether rightly
or wrongly. progressive" Mr.. Taft
has not kept on a middle ground. He
has taken an extreme ground and a con-
other extreme not only obvious but
necessary. The people now want some
q who claims at least to represent the
progressive side. The masses of the
Republican party want a progressive
leader and progressive ideas in the plat.
form. Whether they will get it in the
nominations is quite another matter.
Whether their desires will be stitied in
machine conventions is beside the mark.
but whenever they have a chance to
choose between the conservative label
and the progressive or even radical label
they will reject the conservative.
1t makes very little difference with
the existence Of this sentiment whether
Mr.. Taft or Colonel Roosevelt is the
nominee. The sentiment will remain
and will find expression at the election
in November. But it makes consider
able difference to the Democrats. II
Roosevelt is nominated the Republican
progressives will be satisfied in a meas
ure, but he will have the antagonism of
the conservatives in the election. II he
is not nominated. Mr.. Taft will have
the antagonism of the progressiyes in
the election. The Democrats will in
either event get q part Of the Repabli-
can vote. with more of it il Taft 10
nominated.
This is Just the proposition the
Roosevelt men will put up to the con
~servatives at the convention. 1t will be
Roosevelt or Republican Retirement"
In the face Of such a threat. accented
daily by straw votes for Roosevelt, the
Republican convention will have a very
difficult problem to solve. beside which
the riddle of the Lady or the Tiger will
seem trivial-Reno Journal.

The first pruning job ever performed

the pruning fell in the right place but

Should Collect In Advance
The lesson taught editor Montrose of

1t is safe to lay a bet that every man in

litical game. Political promises are as

White Pine Cracks No Joke

Certain western papers are disposed to
make merry over the reported cracking
of the earth in Jake's valley in this
county. The Salt Lake Tribune lays
the cracking to the smiling Of Nevada
over the present high prices of silver and
copper. Other papers scent scandal in
the bill introduced by Senator New!ands
to fence that portion of the public do
main where these cracks occur. To. our
facetious and muck -racking brethren,
we would say that the aforesaid cracks
are anything but a joke to the cattlemen
who have lost mnch valuable stock there
by, and furthermore that no one will be
injured by the fencing to be authorized
by Senator Newlands' bill.-Ely Record.
