have sworn to be free" still inspire
Irish hearts, but not to insane Wis
ions.
To the honor and wisdom Of the
old Irish patriots be it said that the
inspiration breathed by them under
conditions so adverse has helped to
give free America this splendid ele-
ment in its citizenship, men who are
unwilling to overturn fundamental
law for fleeing vagaries. And on
these men this government leans
today and will lean tomorrow for
much of the support 1t needs to pre-
serve itself free from the impurities
of degraded citizenship and debased
statutes.
The press reports say Boston's oya-
ton to the president surpassed any
thing ever witnessed by thousands
of those present. Surely the signi-
ficance of this day cannot be lost
even upon those who, in this hour
of political turmoil. have hesitated
to do simple justice to the head of
the nation. 1t, in itself, is a chal-
lenge and of a very different sort
than the one Mr.. Taft accepted.

The Saddest Note.

The saddest note Of the whole I'M
fortunate penitentiary affair is the
killing Of the young farmer as q
wholly innocent victim OF the con-
Wet outbreak.
Young Blunt. but recently mar
ried. compelled by threats and force
TO drive the bandits across the coun-
try. had to sacrifice his life. and
leave a widow. the brave little
woman who gave the alarm by which
the outlaws were tracked and taken.
The prison warden and his deputies
may have contributed to their own
undoing BY carelessness or reckless
ness. but young Blunt was compelled
10 pay the penalty for others mis-
deeds.
The sympathy OF the whole public
should go out to the widow. and the
legislature at its first opportunity
should do something for her In the
form OF a substantial pension allow
ance.

New Mexico's First Cloud.

One Of two things Is strikingly ap-
parent in connection with this al
legged bribery in New Mexico's legis-
lature; either the bribed and bribers
we're woefully deficient in skill and
experience, as compared with GER
tain gentlemen in older states, or
the authorities whose duty 1t is to
prevent and punish bribery are more
skilled, to say nothing of being more
determined, in apprehending the
guilty than they are in states. say
like Illinois.
But It Is q bad beginning for the
new state of New Mexico to have
such a cloud Of disgrace thrown over
its first legislature. II is still pos
sibIe that the men accused Of giving
and receiving brides may prove their
Innocence OF crime or wrongdoing,
but being caught in the act, or with
the money on them, and subsequently
preparing, as the legislators did, to
resign their offices--this Is very
strong circumstantial evidence.
Yet, OF course, there Is more In
this unfortunate circumstance for
encouragement than disbursement
to New Mexico. Perhaps 1t will act
as a wholesome deterrent at the very
outset OF statehood. tending to build
up a healthful regard for law and
clean government by its example.
The candidate for senator to be bene-
fitted by these bribed votes should
see to 1t that his title. II he is elected,
10 clear and untarnished Of such In
fluence. The government at Wash
ington needs no lawmakers of ques-
tionable standing. II is facing q
better day. we hope. when mems
titles to seats in congress win be
above reproach and need not to be
defended by statute. OF Limitation or
any other prodigious technique of q
commiserating and indulgent law.

A Tribute 10 the Irish

President Taft's praise OF Irish
Americans In his great Boston speech
Is a deserved tribute to a loyal and
worthy people. and the circum-
stances attendant upon the occasion
we're most propitious. II was timely,
In the first place. for the president
to 80 into Massachusetts, with such
an address Just as the legislature Of
that state had enacted the pre- Gden-
tiai primary into law and Just after
the president had been challenged
BY the Roosevelt third termers to
agree 20 this method of nomination.
He picked up the gauntlet In the
declaration that he favored the pri-
mary where the Law ssfeguarded
the ballot" That is acceptance
enough. Do Roosevelt and his
friends ask more than that? Does
anyone favor the presidential pre-
ference primary where the law does
not safeguard the ballot? It seems
as II the president killed two ducks
with one stone. accepting and giving
a challenge at the same time.
1t was highly appropriate to praise
the Irish. who have never bred an.
archy or preached socialism, while
dealing with the vagaries that ara
being purveyed today as the onl,
true principles Of good government
The lofty patriotism. the sane pro
gressive conservatism. which the som

Stupid Misrepresentation.


A small coterie OF little news
papers, whose editorials are ground
out for them In joblots. In the mis-
taken notion that It Is popular TO at
tack the president, have been snap
ping at his heels with a syndicated
article on the supreme courts patent
right decision. entitled. "The Need
Of the Recall" In II appears this
statement:
And the prevailing opinion against the
people was rendered by Tafts intimate
friend and appointee. Lurton. There ia
only one way to cure such fossiliEed
judges as Lurton and that Is to recall
them.
Now, the fact is this decision
was concurred In by Lurton, APP
pointed by Taft: by vandevanter,
appointed by Taft; by McKenns. ap-
pointed by Mckinley. and by Holmes.
appointed by Roosevelt. while the
dissenting opinion was rendered by
Chief Justice White. appointed by
Cleveland and promoted by Taft;
Lamar. appointed by Taft. and
Hughes. appointed by Taft.
Except for Its arrant stupidity In
pfesuming upon the intelligence Of
the readers. this is a fair sample Of
the studied Misrepresentation being
laid to the presidents door in this
campaign.

Mr.. La Toilette also will be helped by
the Endorsement which William Jennings
Bryan gave him yesterday. The North
Dakota law permits democrats to vote
in the primaries for a republican, and
this they can the more readily do on
Tuesday because there is no contest over
the democratic candidate--Chieago
Tribune
When the returns from the presi-
Dental preference primary in North
Dakota come in, do not overlook
the facts contained in this little item.
Remember that the North Dakota
primary is an open primary in which
any one may freely vote the ticket
Of any political party he pleases.
Remember that in North Dakota,
too, the democrats by agreement
have kept the names OF all their
presidential candidates off the ticket
in favor Of Governor John Burke, who
is to have the national convention
delegation uncontested for promot-
ing his own candidacy for vice presi-
dent, and that the democrats. having
nothing to accomplish by voting their
own ticket. are thus invited to go
across into the republican column,
and name and instruct the republic
can convention delegates.
What significance primary
choice OF republican delegates by
democratic voters has Is yet TO be
disclosed. In this connection 1t
should be noted that the primary in
Oregon and the primary in Wiscon-
sin are also to be open primaries,
with absolutely no way of combining
the expression Of preference within
each party to the rank and file Of
the party.

AGATE. Neb., March ITO the Editor
Of The Bee: When a president shows
both ABILITY and honesty 1t has invari-
ably been the rule Of his party to give
him g denomination. and as no presi-
dent since Lncoln's time has shown
greater inclination or more ability for
the handling OF problems Of vital I'm
portance to the welfare Of the common
people than President Taft, he should
receive the nomination OF his party. He
has deep sense OF justice. appreciates
the opinions OF all thinking men. no mat
ter what party they may be affiliated
with. and when he Is convinced that he
Is right, no amount of criticism or abuse
can swerve him from his purpose.
All presidents have been criticised,
even Washington was called a traitor
BY prominent men and newspapers.
President Mckinley was censured and
called q coward because he did not at
once declare war against Spain after the
Maine disaster. but he showed his
sound business Judgment by waiting until
he had his army and navy In readiness.
President Roosevelt's administration
was severely criticised and especially
his course In the Panama canal project.
but in my opinion he did the right thing.
President Taft has been criticised by
many because he favored reciprocity
and opposed the judicial recall idea, but
our ablest men. both church and political,
believe he is right on both these ques-
tons as well as on many others he is
striving to have enacted into law for the
benefit of the common people.
President Taft has had more expert
ence In constructive problems OF the
world than any man in public life to-
day; he has never lent himself to any
demand for revolution or retrogression,
but stands firm for steady and enduring
progress. respecting the rights OF both
rich and poor. lie has never insulted
the copamon people or encouraged the
rich by promising either immunity from
the law. but declares that all should
have Justice. He Is working for the
prosecution OF all lawless corporations:
he Is working for scientific tariff re-
vision; he Is working for more simple
and cheaper procedure at law; he Is
working for reduction in the cost OF
living; he Is working for international
arbitration and peace. and declares he
wouid rather be instrumental In bring
Ing about International peace than to
have won all the battles that were ever
fought. and i believe the millions of
mothers. wives and sweethearts OF this
country will say ampn
With such record Of endeavor In the
interests OF the people as whole, ought
we. as fair-minded American citizens.
