THERE 13 QUITE A DIFFERENCE.
We hear much In the speeches of
President Taft on the necessity of
"compromise." There Is great euipha
sis on that word. The evils of a tar
iff. the lax administration of the land
laws, all ko back to the need for "a
concession here and there," the nec
essity for "yielding something In work
ing out a compromise."
We hear little of what is "right"
?nd what is "wrong." We hear no
thing of the need for fighting for the
light. There is no suggestion that
there are enemies of the common good
or bad practices or bad men, against
whom the man who loves his coun
try and his liberty must wage an end
leu war.
Oh. no! All are friends. Everybody
really loves his neighbor, and is anx
ious that his neighbor have as large
a share of all good things as come to
him. Differences are merely those of
Judgement. A "little yielding." a "lit
tle compromise," will bring all things
right.
It la the abaence of any moral note
which makes the President's speeches
mm ^Iffurxntlv lilOSe of
hia predecessor. Roosevelt's speeches
always struck a moral note. Fairness
honesty, the duties of the decent cit
izen were the texts from which he
preached. There were "thou shalt
nots" until his enemies sneered that
he had rediscovered the ten command
ments.
In all he said he preached the ir
reconcilable conflict which must go
on forever between what is right and
what Is wrong.
In this. It seems. Ilea the great dif
ference between Taft aud Roosevelt.
The spirit of the Roosevelt policies
was the necessity for a never-ending
war against the wrong. He saw unsc-ru
puloua wealth, mercllesa power and
cunning greed as enemies of the com
mon good. He believed in putting
abackles on flu'" powers. He preach
ed the poor miu't right to have a
voice in government, and urged etern
al vigilance against the predatory.
In the place of which we hear now
only talk of "compromise." If the
special Interests lay an unjust tariff
tax upon the people, the remedy is
"compromise;" If the railroad corpora
tlons grab the people's lands, the rem
edy is "compromise;" if a venal con
gress flouts the wishes of the people
who elected It, the remedy is "com
promise " ? Seattle Star.
\ BETTER THAN BOODLE.
If you help a busted pilgrim, who's
been out of work a while, if you stak
him with a dollar and a stogie and a
?mile, and you see his haggard feat
ures light up with a glow of Joy, and
you hear him try to murmur that you
are a buppy boy. then you'll get a
lot of pleasure from the life you're
leading here; there are bettre things
than boodle in this little whirling
sphere. If you write a friendly letter
to some fellow far away, who's so
weary and so homesick that his hair
U turning gray, he will feel a whole
lot better, and the cheerup smile will
come, and he'll sail Into his duties
In a way to make things hum; then
you've done a thing to help you when
St. Peter calls your name; there are
better things than boodle in this lit
tle human game. If you see a man
a-?truggllng to regain some ground
ht's lost, some one who's been up
against It, knocked about and tempest
tdtoed. and you turn around and help
him to his place with other uien, cry
ing shame upon the knockers who
would tlrag him down again, then
you've shown that you're a critter of
a princely strain of blood; there are
better things than boodle on this llttla
ball of mud.? Walt Masou.
BUY AT HOME.
When you want any article of mer-|
chandlse buy it of a reputable home
dealer, that the profit may remain to
enrich the community. Send your
money abroad only for what you can
not purchase at home. Home talent,
home labor, home Industry, home cap
ital and home pleasures are things
to be fostered, encouraged and patrol*
