Politics or People Which?

LiiO Oi tIlO pCO- pie ruler
 Shall the machine or the mem- bers of the republican party nomi
 nate the presidential candidate of the republican party?
 Such are the issues that are pre- sented in the national campaign now in propress and such are the issues Mir. Taft and his managers would stif1e by their formal declar- ation that the nomination of a president is "game" the rules of which they do not believe in chang ing, says the Los Angeles Tribune The reason for their hostility is plain. The people may be fit to rule, but they are resolved not to give the people a chance to rule, because they are afraid of the peo pie.
 Should they succeed in nominat- ing MT. Taft by preventing the peo pie from expressing preference, how can they expect that the peo pie thereafter will elect to be presi- dent one who refuses to let them vote on his candidacy? Surely if the people are competent to choose between opposing nominees in No vember they are competent to choose between opposing candidates now. Should MT. Taft persist in his attempt to become the candi- date of the republican party in op- position to the preference of the -e publican party, he will have none to blame but himself for the defeat that inevitably will follow and he will be responsible for the defeat and humiliation of the party upon which he would force his candi- dacy against it's wish.
 Commenting on the declaration of one of Taft's managers that this contest is game" and the impu. dent declaration of another that no appeal to the bleachers will be per mitted, designating the people as the occupants of the bleachers- commenting on that Roosevelt says: It is astounding that men should venture to take such a po- sition; and it shows that these men and those for whom they speak and whom they represent have wandered far indeed from the ground held by Abraham Lincoln, when he declared this to be gov ernment dedicated to the welfare of the common people and to be man aged justly and honorably by these plain people for their own welfare in accordance with the immuta ble law of righteousness"
 For whom, refusing to trust the people. do these men speak2 Whom do they represent, in their refusal to let the people rule? They speak for Taft. They represent Taft, fropo ubop, hoe oo,oo ,ok o.o .l in repudiation of their utterances, not one word in acceptance of the challenge to submit his candidacy to the people and abide by their decision. As MT. Roosevelt says: There never was straighter fight waged by the people for popular rule than that which we are now waging. We are fighting against entrenched privilege, both political privilege and financial privilege. We believe that if given a fair chance the people will declare against both political and financial privilege. Therefore, we. demand that they be given the fair chance" "I
 How preposterous it is that the reactionaries in California, who are opposed to presidential preference primaries, should urge republica ns to vote for a candidate who, could he have his way, would deny the people any voice whatever in the selection of a candidate.

DEATH OF MISS BESSIE HORNsBY.

News came on Friday of the death
the previous night at her. home at
GAINESVILLE, St. Helena parish, La,
of Miss Bessie Hornsby, sister to
Mr.. B. F. Hornsby of st. Joseph.
Miss Hornsby was well known in
St. Joseph, having made her home
with her brother some years ago,
and while living here she was first
attacked by the dread malady with
which she battled so patiently and
heroicly for four years, and when
death did come to her relief it was
as the sunset dies along the bills as
the day is over. She was a truly
noble girl and sweet Christian char
acter. She lived a consecrated, Christ
ian life and died a happy and tri-
umphant death. She ran the journey
of life in 25 years. 1t is a path marked
with deeds of kindness and cheer
Flowere not thorns, sunshine not
shadows, did she scatter everywhere
Her friends loved her for her sin
cerity Of nature and her lovehnes:
of character. Her greatest delight
was in contributing to the pleasure
and happiness of others, and friends
in St. Joseph grieve with her loved
ones and fervently pray that he
pure and beautiful soul may hav'
that peace that passeth understand

To the Honorable Board of Commission

The works most pressing and which

Another Item: The allotment to close
the crevasses in the Third District was
SAC, OOO. 90; all of the bids were rejected,
being considered too high and because
the allotment was not sufficient; the bids
received at the letting on June Srd
amounted to $500, 10000. Fifty thousand
dollars of the $3.50, 10000 shortage is APP
proximately the proportion of the short
age for building the Salem levee, and
Salem must be closed. (This work, which
was rejected on June 3rd, has been re-
advertised and bids viii be opened on
July 18th, 1922.
Bond Issue.
The constitution required notice of in
PRODUCTION to act to issue bonds TO be adj
yertised thirty days; there is a misunder-
standing by some Of taxpayers as to the
necessity of the bond issue. The lateness
of the introduction Of the act in the Leg
islature and the probable opposition to
the issue may be fatal to the act, there
fore, to prevent the possibility of their
being no funds to do absolutely necessary
work, / recommend the assessment Of
taxes, and if the taxpayers are unable
to pay the 1912 taxes time warrants
against the taxes assessed payable in 1915
can be issued and the money borrowed
on them.
But should the money from the bono
issue become available 1 recommend the
levee taxes be RENTED for 1912 and only
% per cent assessed in 1913, thus giving
time for recuperation from the diaster o
1912, and allow time for campign o
Education to bring the general govern
ment to realize its duty to take entir
charge Of the levees.
