NO one today is at the same time so close an observer of political tendencies and so brilliant a writer about them as William Allen White. In a remarkable article in ihe April American magazine Mr. White appears in both apaeities at his best. lie writes: ' "But the line of division between the sheep and the ;'oa(s of politics is not between the Socialists and the rest of the world. The line is between the obstructive and the onstructive forces of politics. Their differences arc not jf party, nor of section, nor of professed, creed; between hose who look forward and those who look back there ire fundamental differences of temperament. These tem peramental differences make the lines of cleavage, separa bly members of the same party into progressives and con servatives, reactionaries and insurgents. Now look around 'n the world, all over civilization, and you will find no jreat reactionary leader. "(Jo through history with the same quest, and you vvill find none. Conservatism does not lead it follows, Iragged by the scruff of its neck! Today in our own poli rics the men whom the people follow are jiot the conserya ives. Our leaders are progressive most of them mili tant and insurgent. And all this is because the conserva tives have nothing to offer. AVhat program, for instance, is Mr. Cannon offering the American people? He will an swer probably that he is standing upon the Republican olatform of .1908. But if you ask him what certain of its blanks mean, being translated, he will interpret them into i declaration in favor of letting well enough alone. Mr. ldrich has a similar attitude. They have the political deals of the campaign of 189b"; they have learned noth ing and forgot nothing since the days when it was suppos- Jd that it we kept the nation prosperous we would be keep ing it righteous. "Mr. Jlarmon, in the Deinoeratic party, is of the same tvpe of mind. Mr, Murphy and Mr. ' Fingy' Connors stand with Mr. .Harmon for what gland group of senators represent in the Republican party. They are all busily engaged in stamping out the blaze in the powder-mill. That is their program in politics; it is hardly necessary to add that it may be regarded politi cally as 'extra-hazardous,' for the fire has gained a good headway, and soon tho places that knew these gentlemen will know them no more, and the historian will be dry loaning the landscape to identify them." PEOPLES' PROPERTY NEGLECTED. N1CED for a eh;uij;e in the nmnagemont of comity affairs is proven hy the condition of the road building ma hinery owned hy the county. A Vat or was left in the hoilers uid pipes of the throe steam rollers, which were wintered ut the poor farm, with tho result that the tubes broke when cold weather arrived and repairs costing $500 have boon thereby necessitated. In one of tho rollers, fourteen flues were cracked as well as steam pipes, and two weeks steady work by machinists has not finished the needed repairs. The public's business is very apt to bo no ones business. Cosily equipment is left to deteriorate and depreciate, if owned by the people. Nonce the employment of a road engineer whoso business it will be to safeguard those in terests, is universally approved as sound business policy. In tho purchasing of supplies, in the distribution of road funds, in Inany ways, there has been a looseness of methods which has proven expensive to the taxpayer. In many instances the policy has boon penny wise and pound foolish. The change inaugurated by the county court is 'hailed with satisfaction as the promise of a wiser admin istration of count v affairs.
