THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Let's Get Back to Earth.


Editor Grant County Herald: Some
two hundred American lives have
been offered up to the false god
Idealism. We have waited two years
for that to come out Of Mexico which
is not Mexico, and now we start
when we should be done.
American life has been cheaper than
the national currency south of the
Rio Grande. Our lofty example has
so inspired the best young men OF
Mexico that our flag has been drag
ged in the dirt and our citizens rob-
bed, assaulted and killed.
There is nothing in sight to afford
the slightest hope, but we continue
to pamper a First chief" who knows
not the relation between words and
deeds. We may as we'll now realize
that respect (Mexico) can only be got
ten at the muzzle of a gun. We
might also realize that this is a
world of things as they are, instead
of things as they should be. G. K. M.

An All Around Big Man.
Estabrook is a biz man physically,
mentally and politically. Quite six
feet in height. erect, rugged. he would
be a man Of commanding presence III
any gathering. Ills mental attalnments
are attested by his signal success In
the practice of law and by the WIDE
spread interest in his every public ut
torrance on governmental, economic
and social problems. lie has always
been a student and when he discusses
a subject he speaks with the author-
ity of one who has mastered II. Ills
conclusions are invariably sound. and,
once he has arrived nj them, they are
proclaimed frankly and fearlessly, Tor
he is essentially n man with the cour-
age OF his convictions.
For instance. he has been one or the
most drastic critics Of President Will
son and the present Democratic adj
ministration, arraignlng them for their
tariff law which bankrupted the fed
eral treasury and which places the
American farmer. the American manu-
factnrer. aud the American laborer at
the mercy of foreign competition, ana
for n foreign policy which has destroy
ed the respect that the American flag
and American citizens onee command
ed in every quarter of the globe.
A Preparedness Pioneer.
Likewise Mr.. Estabrook was the first
man prominently before the public to
outline a concrete program of national
defense. which he presented in an adj
dress before the American Bankers
Association September Sth last at Seat
tie. characterized by the Seattle Times
as 'one of the most remarkable adj
dresses ever delivered in the North
west" and he was the first Republican
leader to point the way TO the reunion
and harmonizing Of all elements OF the
party, his "Get-Toeether' plea before
the Mckinley Club Of Omaha. Nebras-
ka, last October. having attracted vide
spread attention.
From the time MIR. Estabrook open
ed the Republican National campaign
In Chicago in 1896 he has been recog
ntzed as one of the ablest campalgners
in the United States, and there nav
been few speakers In greater demand.
