President and Mrs. Frost who have

county, Kentucky. They were welcom-
ed by Elijah F. Dizney. Superintend-

kTHlS WEEKS ISSUE

The contract of The Citizen with
Berea College calls for 3 or 4 ad-
yertising issues each year. Last week
most of our space was taken up by
articles in interest of the College,
setting forth the advantages Of
fered at Berea and pleading for edu-
cation in general.
Again this week the College us
es most of our space. and we believe
that, while much of this is in the
nature of advertising, it will be OF
interest to many who have no chill
dren to send to school and will ap-
peal on its merits as educational mat
ter.
We call special attention to Pres.
Frost's Harlan Address. which is
worthy of entrance into every noun
tain home and will be pleasing and
instructive to every one who will
take time TO read 1t.
The article entitled Health Hints
for New Students" is just as ap-
pealing TO non-students and should DO
OF interest.

NICARAGUAN SITUATION
A state OF anarchy still exists in
Nicaragua. Pres. Taft late last week
rescinded his order dispatching troops
to assist in Quelling the disturbance,
having been assured that the marines
would be sufficient. The government
finds II difficult TO keep in communi-

Mangua, but the two thousand or
more marines are relied on to be able
to protect American interests.
THE VICTIM OF A PLOT
The Cuban minister at Washington
virtually acknowledges that the at
tack upon the American in charge OF
the legation at Havana last week was
the result of plot which had for
its purpose the interference Of the
Washington government with Cuban
affairs. The demand has been made
from Washington that the offender
be summarily punished.
WILL DEMAND ARBITRATION
Official announcement has been
made in London that formal de-
mand for Arbitration OF the Panama
Canal question between the United
States and England is to be made,
and II is believed that instructions
to that effect have already been for
warded TO Washington. At the same
time II is unofficlally stated at Wash
Ington that the request will not be
granted, and a middle seems i'm

The question at issue, is, Shall
the United States operate the canal,
her own property. SO as to benefit
her own citizens, or shall she put
them upon a footing with the English
and other foreign shipping interests?
The canal bill signed by the President
discriminates in favor OF American
shipping in the matter Of tolls as
against all foreign nations but not
between them.

CORPORATIONS MUST PAY

The failure of the Legislature in
its last session to pass the Public
Utilities Act and th;- great drain up
on the states resources resulting
from the pensioning of the confeder-

pective deficit in the state treasury
of million dollars, and produced a
crisis in the state financial system
which the government has been strug-
Cling for a number OF months to
meet. The only way out that appear
ed was to force the corporations to

POLITICAL WEATHER vANE

For the first time in the history
Of vermont the Republican candidate
for Governor failed, Tuesday, to OBJ
tain a majority of the votes. This
causes the selection of the chief ex-
cutive to be made by the Legislature.
The returns from all but IA small
towns gave Fletcher, Republican, 25,-
072; Howe, Democrat, 1912; Metz
ger, Progressive, 5000.
Altho there was a split in the Re-
publican party, the Progressives
failed to pole as many votes as ex-
pected. Gov. Wilson is much pleas
ed with the fact that the Democrats
more than held their own and says
Il means business thruout the coun-
try.

THE HOT WAVE


AS usual, September is holding
her record for making up for any
thing that the other summer months
may have lacked in the way Of heat,
the hot wave spreading over the coun.
try the latter part of last week and
this, in many places, having broken
ell the records this summer. So far
Columbus, Ohio, seems to have been
the heaviest sufferer. Many chill
dren and even soldiers and beasts
of burden, having succumbed to the
ntolerable heat.
TORRENTS KILLED MANY
Heavy rains in West Virginia flood
ing mountain streams are reported
10 have caused the death of twenty
persons in the Panhandle district of
West Virginia, Sunday. Many houses
were washed away and great proper
ty damage was done.
MICHIGAN PRIMARIES
In the Michigan primaries held
last Tuesday, the vote of the Pro-
gressives was only seven per cent
of the normal Republican vote, while
the democrats polled a heavy vote
as did the regular Republicans.
This is taken to indicate that Mr..
Roosevelt's following is not so strong
as before the Chicago convention,
when he was Republican, but OF
course the entire country cannot
be judged by the sentiment of one
state. and Michigan gives the ex-
presidents opponents but little
ground for cheering.
MR. ROOSEVELT IN VERMONT
Mr.. Roosevelt spent several days IN
speech making in Vermont last week
In behalf of the Progressive candi-
dates for state offices. His speeches
in the main were not very different
from those made in the preconven-
ton campaigns. their real aim be-
ing to advance the interest OF the
new national progressive party and
his own candidacy. He dealt many
heavy blows to both the old parties.
Just how effective they will be will
be told by the balloting, Tuesday.

"PLAYiNG THE GAME"
Truly, President Taft Does Not Follow
System Politically.

That is a criticism often heard of
President Taft. 1t is the professional
politician usually who voices it, but
often it is repeated by those who are
accustomed to take their estimates of
public men and their political opin-
ions from others.
Playing the game has been the oc-
cupation Of time serving politicians
from time immemorial. Men who re-.
gard politics as a game like to see it
played deity. Other men without
fixed ideas on the subject parrot the
criticism passed by the experts.
Playing the game in politics neces-
sarily has deceit as its fundamental
principle. ,y
The public man wSh6 sees develop
ing an issue might prove embarrassing
to him personally, and who manages,
by guile, to divert public attention to
another, a lesser, but a perfectly safe,
issue, plays the game.
The public man who makes public
pr~otestations of his enmity toward
swollen wealth and then holds secret
conferences with the representatives
of that wealth, plays the game.
The public nan whe. breaches one
code of political morality and prac-
tees another plays the game. ..,
The public man WHO ,utters sound
ing but empty phrases, no matter how
delightful his diction,. or how superb
his eloquence, plays the game.
The public man who makes prom
ises impossible of ful6llinent plays the
game. g., . g
The public man who puts the ac-
Quiremcnt of public favor above ideals
Of public service plays the game.
Truly, President Taft does not know
how to play the game. q.
He has been reared in at atmos-
phere Of service rather than politics,
as we have corlc, ia know politics.
The thing that has always concerned
him is the doing OF an act, not the
spectacular staging of it, nor the ex-
ploitation Ct it, nor, on the contrary,
The concealmcrt OF it.
To serve has always been his ideal,
not merely to acquire the appearance
of serving.
1t has been impossible for him to
look upon public service as a game,
The puhlic's business, as he regards
it, is serious business. 20
There is reason for the belief that
the American people as a whole share
with him this view. The growing in
telligence OF the nation is rejecting
the idea that the selection of their
public servants is merely a sporting
proposition.
