The sorry spectacle of a president of the United States
debauching the dignity of his office in order to lend his
support to a favored candidate has been presented during
the past weeks of the campaign, and as a result many of
those who have been warm admirers of Theodore Roost
velt, and still admire him for ilie good he lias accomplished
are' turning in disgust from the man who lias stooped to
adopt the tactics of the mud-slinging ward-heeler.
The latest insult which Mr. Roosevelt offers to the
American people, in his frantic efforts to force upon them
an unpopular candidaie, is found in a letter penned by him
to P. IT. Grace of Binghamtoii, X. Y., a member of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, who wrote inquiring
about Taft's record in respect to injunctions and labor
matters in general. After replying in detail, Mr. Roose
velt concludes with :
"If Mr. Taft is not elected a period of industrial chaos
and business bad times will result in which the working
'11 H (I 11 it 1 nil
man win suner tar more man anv omer class, xncy are
the people more than any other who will pay the penalty
For their own material interests, I believe that they should
support Mr. Taft."
Such words from an American president arc an insult
to common intelligence, and unworthy of his of fice. Theo
dore Roosevelt in uttering them has forgotten the place lie
holds in the eyes of the world as the representative of all
the people.

nucii siaiemenis are not true, wiien ilie time comes
that the election of any man to the presidency of a nation
means panic and ruin, then will he the time to wipe that
government ironi the face of the earth; for it will not be
worthy of the respect of its people.
Mr. Koosevelt practically says that those policies to
which William Jennings Bryan is pledged are such as will
result in "a period of industrial chaos and business bad
times," and yet it lias been shown that the so-called "Roose
velt policies" originated in the great brain of the "Com
moner. They were conceived in honesty, and Mr. Roose
velt became only a Bryan in office. Now, in his latest out
burst he repudiates all for what he has stood. It was not
long since he wrote, in a message to congress:
"If it were true that to cut out rottenness from the body
politic meant a cheek to an unhealthy prosperity, I should

"The business which is hurt by the movement for lion
esty is the kind of business which, in the long run, it pavs
tne country to Jiave hurt. It is the kind of business which
has tended to make the very name 'high finance' a term
of scandal, towhich all honest American men of business
should join in putting an end."
Roosevelt's interference to force the election of a suc
cessor will prove of no avail, for it remains as true todav
as when Job chronicled it that "the hypocrite's hone shail
perish.'

, There are many North Dakotnns in Medford who will
be interested in the news that .lames K. Page, chairman of
the Taft Republican club of Valley ( 'ity, has issued a state
ment in the Times-Record declaring for I'.ryan and Durke.
The reasons he gives are as follows:
"Looking the present issues squarclv in tin' face, we,
who are proud to sail under the banner of the grand old
party, must pause and find reason for (he growing senti
ment of many Valley City republican who have a.ub.uu,
cd their intention to vole for Ihirke and Bryan. Thr en
elusion of the whole matter regard wS the wtdin i
favor of Governor Burke is, ( RP w lwva,.t jdmisc,
"Ho has made good," and the people want more of such
policy. He has done all that one man can do to enforce
the laws of the state and has given us a clean administra
tion. Why the sentiment for Bryan?
"The reasons are obvious to the thinking man, no mat-
ici under what party banner he may be marching. The
platform of the national democratic 'pa rtv suits mam- re
publicans better than their own narfvV i.l.-.i r... Ji..;.i
down by the bosses at Chicago. The declared intention
of the republican party lo revise the tariff after the partv
is in power gives little comfort to those favoring revision
in view of the fact that nothing was done bv the republican
party during the last session of congress, when it had full
power in every branch of (he government. Manv repub-i
licans are in favor of ilw m, .,..,,,(, 1 i. , -1. , .,
the leaders of the republican party are strenuously endeav-
"uiji io cmiimaic me issue Jrom the campaign. This is
one ot the issues which has gained a hold upon the thoiHits
of progressive, thinking people and like Ranmio's chost
will not down.
"Then the proposition of the democratic party to make
public campaign contributions before the (lection finds
many republican supporters and appeals to many as more
logical than the republican party's promise to publish the
contributions after election.
"I will allow no one to be a more ardent supporter of
the principles of the grand old party than myself, but the
foregoing statements are facts which are before us and
must be squarely met. if we wish to retain the confidence
of the people. When the republican party gives people
what they are clamoring for, then victory will perch upon
its banner and all of its adherents will be satisfied to re
main loyal to its principles. But the great question is
this: "Is the grand old party giving the people what they
are requesting in this campaign?"
I-adics of this town and vicinity will
be interested to learn that Mr. acid Mrs.

IT DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH.
The Mail continues to protest its virgin-like purity on
the water question. Like Royal baking powder, it is abso
lutely pureprobably the effects of the immunity bath
upon its editor. In black face type it proclaims its honesty.
"No money considerat ion" actuates it. Is it so unusual an
occurrence that the editor must proclaim it? Does it hap
pen so seldom that the editor feels it necessary to publish
as a news item the fact that there is one time when he is
not bought?
No one accused the Mail of being bribed, but too fre
quent protestations of purity arouse a suspicion. In fact,
it "protests too much." Is there something doing behind
the scenes to occasion this fierce burst of self-approval?
J he Mail asserts that it is not paid one penny for mat
ter printed favorable to Mr. Hamilton, yet it coyly admits
that Mr. Hamilton is buying a few copies of the Morninsr.
Mail erf day. and is having them taken to the homes to
which the paper is not a regular visitor." Three hundred
papers a day at five cents each is iflo a day, but of course
this little item does not in the least influcnco the Mail to
have a feeling for Fish lake. Once, though, it had a feel
ing for Dinger Hermann, for less than $1') a day, too.
The Morning Mail continues its unwarranted and un
fair attack upon Congressman llobson, a national hero.
whom it berates because ho hails from Alabama and the
south a section that produces the purest strain of Amer
ican blood. The Mail champions the Japanese scholars
of San Francisco against those of American strain, and
thinks the claims of the mikado's subjects superior to those
of Uncle Sam. It concludes its senseless tirade with the
following scintillating remarks: "If Hobson was elected
on account of his learning and ability, it is safe to say that
any boy in Medford over seven years of age is more worthy
of the position (of congressman) than is Captain Hobson.''
I ho Mail must be edited bv one of these seven-year-old
bovs.

Through a typographical error yesterday The Tribune
said that Lloyd's charged a 9 per cent 'premium airainst
business losses in case of Bryan's election, when it should
have read one per cent premium airainst, loss in case of
lemocratic success, and nine per cent premium against loss
in case ot la Its election, showing that the chances in
Lloyd's estimation are nine to one for business loss under
I'lift compared with Brvan.

The supreme court's decision on the Medford charter
ise is a vindication of Judge II. K. Ha una and his deci
sion, lor which he was roundly Abused at the time bv the
Mail. Had Judge llaiuia been a man easily swayed bv
popular clifiuor, he would have based his decision upon
something besides the law. as manv of our ,l lln
ould not have decided other than he did. as events have
proved, anil followed the law.

always find a desirable tenant before a good
building has been "to let" more than 24
hours, and land owners know we can always
find a purchaser if a reasonable valuation, is
put on property. Consequently Medford
does not impress the homesesker as being
"under the hammer." This is as it should -he.
