Fill or Dig.

Would il not be a good plan on
the part Of the city to use some of
the dirt on the levees in filling UP
the derperssion in St, Mary's Park AT
this time the depression is fille1
with sipe water 10 such a depth that
rowing would be possible were skifs
available. 1t would be decided i'm
provement to the park 10 have Il
permanent lake there. but a sipe
water lake would be undesirable
The city could not use the spare dirt
to better advantage than IN filling
in the depression, SO that sipe water
would not enter the park in the tn
ture OF course the sipe water will
disappear In time. but ii will return
III We are to have lake In the park
let it be a real lake, and not a sipe
water pond in which nothing but
vegetation and mosquitoes will grow
The great objection to digging la
COON in the park has been the cos.
The same objection doubtless will
be found in filling the depression,
but if the cheapest course must b..
followed why not fill the hole now
while dirt is cheap?

Office Seeking,

Senator Shelby NJ Cullom advise:
/ young men to keep out of politics
| Nor is this advice the result of tn
recent Illinois primaries, as the ageC
Illinois senator has uttered similar
i sentiments before. He adds that al
men should be ready to answer any
call for public service and duty. His
warning is against going into poll
tics as a career from which one
would expect to gain livelihood
Considering the length of time he
has been in public life, Senator Cul-
lom would seem eminently fitted Ia
speak on the subject To be sure
his advice may be like that of the
newspaper man who wanted his son
10 60 into anything else than the
newspaper business or the doctor
who urged his young friends tp keen
out of medicine Most of us think
our own calling about the most ex
acting and unremuneratiye in the
world. The greenest grass is always
In the next pasture.
Yet there is more than this. much
more, TO Senator Cullom's position
1t involves the principle of public
good as opposed to private gain. No
man should seek office for private
reasons. No man should enter poll
tics as a gainful occupation. If he
has ideas that he believes will bene-
fiji the public, If he thinks that he
can be an efficient servant to the
state, then perhaps he is justified ia
rendering these ideas and this ser
vice to the body polite. But il he
takes part in public affairs only
for the personal distinction or the
personal remuneration it will brine
him, without due consideration as t.
the obligation thus imposed, he is
following an unworthy course. He
should render an equivalent, and
more than an equivalent, for value
received. Not only so. but the
thought OF what he may give the
state rather than what he may re-
ceive from the state should be para
mount, Public good should be the
primary and personal benefit the sec
ondary consideration How many
men entering politics follow this
rule?
We have not sufficiently different
ated between public and private. "A
public office is a public trust" said
President Grover Cleveland. This is
the foundation stone on which all po-
iitlcal activity should be based
Above faction, above party, above all.
personal considerations, stands the
good OF the country as q whole. He
who cannot rise to that impersonal
height has no business In politics d.
This Is perhaps an ideal standard
but 1t Is the ideal that we should
ever keep before us
Here IL the matter in a nutshell.
He who permits private consider
alton to influence him In the nar-
Torrance OF public duty is a trait

Author of AT Good Old Siwash,"

the loved ones at home
Denver is within easy looking dis
tance of the snow-capped Rockies
and is congested with scenery and
climate The air is very rare and
healthful In fact, its rarity is only
exceeded by the rarity of boarding
houses for those who need said air.
Denver has cured thousands of in
yalids with its rare air. but the man
who goes out there with one lung
finds superior aloofness and ex-
clusiveness in those citizens who

Has Mr.. Roosevelt ever con
demned the Payne hill?" he asked
Dogs he say he would not have
signed it If it had been presented to
him under conditions that it had to
meet? He has never said that as far
as | know, and the New York 5lat-
form of 1910, adopted by the con
vention of which he was a part en-
dorsed the pending bill and APP row
ed its passage. Is it a square deal.
therefore, for him 10 charge me

all that did was to deal with the
party as II was in congress and to
get as much as | could of the lefisla-
tion promised out of that party, torn
as it was by faction? or course, /
conferred with the regular Rep7lbli-
can leaders in the senate and the
house, and through them we re-
deemed the promises of the Republi-
can platform 10 an extent that no
political platform had ever been re-
deemed.
Mr.. Roosevelt ought not to be
nominated at Chicago, because in
such nomination the Republican
party will violate our most useful
and necessary governmental tradi-
tion--that no one shall be permitted
to hold a third presidential term"
Mr.. Taft quoted from Mr.. Roose-
velt's statement in November, 1904,
the following:
THE wise custom which limits the
president to two terms regards the
substance and not the form; and un
der no circumstances will be can
didate for or accept another nomin-
alton"
He now says, although his Ian
guage does not bear such construc-
ton that he meant he would not
accept a nomination for a consecu-
tive third term" said the president
He says so in face of the fact that
the most noteworthy precedent in
which the tradition was asserted and
maintained was that of 1880, when
General Grant was denied third
term four years after he had left
the presidential office. 1t Is not for
me to enter into a discussion of the
plain meaning OF the language he
used. If he had frankly announced
that ne had changed his mind no one
would be disposed to hold him to a
promise of that sort merely because
he had made it. The promise and
his treatment of it only throw an in
light on the value that
ought now to be attached to any
promise of this kind he may make
FOR the future The important fact
IS that his declaration was the state
ment Of principle essential to the
welfare of the republic"

matter. Since debating the above
have had the telephone conversation
with you, but let 1t CO."
Mr.. Taft added that by the tele-
phone conversation and by subse-
quent correspondence he would not
publish unless Mr. Roosevelt desir-
ed. he learned that no such article
was contemplated, but Mr.. Roosevelt
said he would assist In the matter In
other ways.
Il have never given Mr.. Roosevelt
or any one else the slightest reason
to suppose that | had changed my
attitude"
AS to Mr. Roosevelt's charges of
the Shameless" use of federal
patronage by the president, Mr.. Taft
said that zoe of the federal office
holders now in the service were
appointees of Mr. Roosevelt and az
natural result large percentage
Of them favored the former president
for denomination No man, he said,
had been dism issed because he favor
ed Mr., Roosevelt and there was every
Indication that at the charge con-
yention the influence the federal Of
flee holders would be less effective
for any one candidate than ever be-
fore in the history of the party
Mr.. Taft said Mr.. Roosevelt was
not only enjoying the support of the
many federal officehoIders, but the
of a number of state gov
arnors, which was being used for
him, with businesS1ike manipuia-
ton that lacks nothing In effective

arnor Hadley in Missouri. OF Gov
ernor Stubs in Kansas, Governor
Glasscock in West Virginia, Gov
arnor Osborne In Michigan and Gov
ernor Johnson In California, all was
being used for Mr. Roosevelt.
Dealing with Mr. Rooseyelt's
charges that in his administration
Mr.. Taft had deserted the progress
iiyes and become q reactionary, the
president said that 1t was on Mr.
Roosevelt's advice that he had his
