"IDEAL1STS."
Est. Louis Republic.)

The democracy of the present hour
is being reproached by the practical
crowd of idealists.'
stand-pat republicans as being "a
The word "idealist" isn't new. It has
had a familiar place in the arsenal OF
political word-warfare for more than
century. Il was thrown at Washing
ton at Jefferson, at BENTON in that
last wonderful campaign Of his for the
Union, at Lincoln. And in each of
these cases ii meant the same thing.
The man who, in a time when many
things are yisibly out of joint. decides
that justice and honesty in public life
are worth all they cost is an "idealist.'
That is Woodrow Wilson's position
today. This is the fact that has made
him the nominee OF the democratic
party for president. That is the key.
note of the democratic platform.
The republicans have been busy
telling us that things in general are
settled forever, that our government,
administered as much for the public
good as the Paynes and the Dalzells,
the Canuons and the Aldriches, the
Lodges and the Penroses found con.
yenient. is the best government posi-
BILE. And the denocracy's position in
view of that is shaped by the deep
conviction that certain changes will
be worth all it will cost to make
them.
President Taft declared that the
Payne Aldrich tariff bill was the best
tariff measure ever passed. The dem
ocrtic "ideaiists" rejoinod that it
might be, but it was not good enough
for them. And the response of the
country in the elections of 1910 is a
part Of history
President Taft is pointing TO his
enforcement of the Serman law as an
argument for continuing the present
order. The democrats look at Stand
ard Oil selling at 1000; they read
the statistics of the express compa-
MES; they scrutinize the testimony in
the Sugar Investigation And they
highly resolve" in the name OF jus
tice and liberty, that these things
shall come to an end.
Your practical man-in the Roose-
velt-Harriman sense-will never I'M
dsrstand such foolishness. He didn't
when he was a Tory in the days when
Jefferson wrote the Declaration OF
independence. He couldn't see what
all the fuss was about He didn't I'M
dsrstand in the sixties why the sec
tons should fight. instead of attend.
ing to business. He is equally dis
gusted and equally in the dark today
But in the retrospect We see that II
has rested with the idealist to speak
the determining word. to shape the
critical act, at the turning nQints Of
American history.
The old stock mas not run out. The
old traditions still 1--we. The demo
cratic party is preparing once more to
do the Enthusiastically American
thing. to right certain notorious injus
tees in our public life and bear tbs

DEmocRAcYs OPPORTUNITY

Would the man who threw his hat
in the ring and sought to slug his oP-
ponent over the ropes in his fight for
a third term rest satisfied with its
achievement? Clearly his lust of pow
er would have brooked no such limi-
tation A third term would but have
Twhetted his desire for mere and as
the terms slipped away each renewal
would discover greater injury to our
constitution, to the form of govern
ment established under il and to
every legal curb on his imperious will.
This is the man who menaced us with
an increase of federal power BY usur-
patton Of states rights and without
authority of constitutional amend
ment; the man who took the Isthmus
of Panama -and let congress debate
about it afterwards" the man who
having enough money TO send the
fleet on its famous cruise 10 the Pa
cific, sent it without sanction of con
gress leaving il 20 appropriate the
money for the return when congress
deemed that necessary. This is the
man who advocated federal incorpora-
ton for the increase of power at
| Washington and the tightening of legal
burdens on the corporations; the man
who authorized the absorption OF the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company by
the steel Trust; the man who, by
many such drastic acts. and by I'M
numbered words has sought to batter
down our statutory and constitutional
safeguards.
He who runs may read the danger
that threatens the country ruled by
such a man. DO we envy Mexico her
thirty years of welded life or the var

of terms is to prevent the present at
tempt to capture the once for a third

this campaign is to lead the fight
against a third term. That opportuni-
J " should appeal 10 every drop Of pa

Unquestionably we have been
wrong in assuming that tradition

Los Angeles TO Phoenix they can af-
ford to help the race along the Dor.
derland. The Republican says re-
garding the matter:
Money could be more foolishly
spent in many other ways than In the
encouragement of a road race from FL
Paso to Phoenix at the time of the
state fair. Such a race would touch
all the towns of the southern part
Of the state. in which respect, as a
writer for The Bisbee Review points
out, It would be of greater interest
TO Arizona than the race from Los
Angeles to Phoenix. which touches
no town except Yuma. That is a
contest of endurance, and is invalua-
BILE to Phoenix as an advertisement.
A race from FL Paso to Phoenix would
hardly be less valuable as an adver-
tisement, and besides. its benefits
would be shared with Tucson, Bisbee
and Douglas.
The Republican feels a personal in
terest in the Los Angeles-Phoenix
race. for II offered the first prize
hung up for that contest, a handsome
silver cup. in consequence of which,
until the prize was permanently 10
Gated. the annual contest was known
as The Republican Cup Race"
We believe that Phoenix should be
made the terminus of another inter
state race. The road from FL Paso
to Phoenix is an excellent one. and il
runs through the most delightful part
of the state. Such a race would bring
all the larger towns together by max
ing the distances between them seem

ORATOR NEARLY LOST HIS PANTS

In the September American Maya
zine appears the following about a
delegate at the Baltimore convention
who made a speech:
The crowd listened approvingly to
frenzied speech from a Southwest
ern statesman who introduced an en-
tirely new gesture. With his right
hand outstretched he made Wild
clutches at his shoulder with his left
hand thumb. IL turned out that
this was NO mere affectation to en-
phasize his rhetoric, bat that his gal
iuses' were slipping. He remarked to
a fellow delegates as he came down
from the platform: I durn near lost

Governor Wilson time and again de-
parted from the text to set IN some
quiet side thrust in the humorous
tone for which he is becoming famous.
Once, while speaking of the tariff, he
reached down to the realms of near
profanity and caught up a word that
censors of stage morals sometimes
have objected to on the part Of act
ors. "The tariff" said Governor vii
son, is a dam; and you can spell

The Arizona Republican takes q
very reasonable view of the matter OF
a road race from FL Paso to Phoe-
nix that has been discussed and
urged by the towns along the Border
land route. II the Phoenix people
are wise they will do what they can

to get patronage from the towns in
the southern part of the state to help
along their fair. and they should be
broad enough TO help with the pro
posed road race. II they can AFFORD

Clarence barrow has been cleared
of the charge placed against him,
that Of bribing a juror. Few people
believe that barrow bribed the juror.
Many people believe that he is too
honest to attempt such work and
others believe he is too wise. The
evidence against him was very weak;
that of confessed criminals. The case
is ended, and every person is thank
full for that. and they would be sorry
If another case. on the same evidence,
should be started. The case brings
out clearly the old teaching that q

TAFT MAY CARRY
THREE DISTRICTS
In the State of West Virginia
AS Shown by Primary
Returns.

Saturday twenty-nine counties in
the state named delegates to the Re-
publican state delegate conventions
The selections by no means definitely
decided whether Roosevelt or Tat
men shall control the convention that
will select six delegates-at-large to
Chicago. Some of the largest couu-
ties In the state are yet to act, and
until they say the matter of control
will be in doubt.
OF the FIVE districts, that elect two
delegates each to the national con-
vention, it is practically determined
that Taft will control three. In the
Fifth district Taft is leading by nice
majority in the selection of delegates,
while IN the Third district with
Kanawha county to act within the
present week 1t is expected with the
vote for president has In Fayette,
that he will control the Third district
convention. Tie result in the First
district, with Ohio, Brooke, Harrison
and Hancock counties to act is ex-
pected to see Taft with at least six
of the sixteen delegates from this
state to Chicago, regardless of what
the state convention may do.
The result so far is appended:
