Intermountain Tribune From the general support and confidence the people are giving .-M | President Wilson, it is quite evident ■ that the oldtime political prejudice t is rapidly disappearing. The»people I have at last found oubthat+because a man is a democrat or a republi can, that he may be either a good or. a bad «man; fore very body knows that there are both good and bad mem in all political parties. '■ More/ over, they have ascertained that” when good men are elected to office-, good government generally results,, and vice versa when bad. men are elected. For this reason the great masses of the republican party are giving President ‘ Wilson’ and the democratic congress a cordial sup* | port. Congress and the President I are doing the things the people have long wanthd done and which Presi dent Taft and a republican congres^ refused to do. President Wilson and congress has won the confidence of the people. Let us hope that no act, during the’ three years to corné, shall disturb that confidence. A bill is now before congress, which proposes to appropriate $25,K 000,000 to assist the Various states, in building highways. Well,^ whys not? Why may not' thé government, build wagon roads1« as well as to assist in and build railroads, build; canals and improve rivers and har bors? Certainly the government cannot spend money in a way which will advantage the masses; of the people more, than to assist the states in developing their system of highways. The bill proposes th divide the money among the states in some just and equi table , manner, providing each state will provide a sum equal to that given it by thé general government. ' The govern ment has charge of the mail-service, rural routes included. It is, there fore, merely a matter of good business for the government to en courage thè building of good roads, for the benefit of rural carriers, if for no other purpose. But, if good hard surface roads are furnished for rural carriers, other and all people will benefit as well. This is another straw indicating the purpose of the Wilson administration to benefit the people. It is the duty of voters to select PRESIDENT WILSON from this array of ■ aspirants or IS MAKING GOOD others, the candidates for the various offices at the primary election. -This President Wilson is conceded by one idea should possess the mind of the voter when he enters the elec-« all political - parties, to be honest tion booth. “Unless good capable and’is working for what «he con men or women are selected as candi- ceives to be, the best interests- of dates, good capable officials cannot al! the people. In all matters where be elected.” It is, therefore, most in the political element is not a important that every voter shall be' factor, he~ has the support of all at the polls and exercise the impor-1 political parties. But in the matter of public office wherein a republican tant duty. A candidate should not be nomi*' is displaced by a democrat, a roar is nated for office, simply because the heard. Especially is this true of man soliciting the place is an- all- fourth-class postmasterships. Presi around good fellow, or is an especial’ dent Taft, arbitrarily, placed fourth friend. He may be among the best class postoffices in the civil service of meh, yet not possess the neces list, just at the close of his term of sary qualities to make an efficient office. Whether or not he did so official. Again, a man who might for the purpose of retaining repub be> a failure' in one particular office licans in office so far as he was might be a pronounced success in able, has not been made known, another. Voters should endeavor but: the inference is that such was to select the right man for a parti his purpose. Now, as a matter of fact, it cular position, regardless of personal MYERS & ROSE, Props. favoritism. A very safe guide iff makes but little difference to the this matter is to renominate «men people in general, what a post Clean and Airy Rooms and Beds: The tables are supplied who have demonstrated, i by actual master’s politics may be.
