HUMILIATING THE PRE8IDENT
I
So nil! of (lie more enthusiastic
supporters of President Taft are
very bitter against Colonel
Roosevelt because, they allege, he
has been humiliating the Presi
dent and has not given hint a
square deal. The question is not,
in fact, whether Mr. Roosevelt
lias given Mr. Taft a square deal
.»r whether Mr. Taft has given
Mr. Roosevelt a square ileal, but
whether.* Mr. Taft has given the
eountiy a square deal.
Whati.-ver answer the w-'ers
may give to Ibis question, Ihe
fact remains that, it is not Col
onel Roosevelt who has humiliaU
«m| President Taft. II is quite
true I bat President Taft is be
ing humiliated, 1ml his managers
are responsible f<»r most «»f I he
humiliation.
Manager MeKinley yoked Pres
ident Tnl'i and William Lnrimer
together in Illinois. Humiliation
followed. Mi-. MeKinley yoked
President Tall and Senator Pen
rose together in Pennsylvania.
The people liave repudiated I hem
!•<>1 li. Tli roughout I lie campaign
Mr. .MeKinley has consistently
followed I he policy, nof of try
ing lo prevent alliances between
Hie "resident and discredited
bosses and corrupt political ma
chines, but lie has in every stale
encouraged such alliances. So
have, all the political lieutenants
and flunkeys about Ibe "President.
The President himself bad noth
ing but sneers and denunciations
for the progressive leaders and
voters in I he Republican party.
He has exhibited such friendli
ness to the reactionaries that
Manager MeKinley has found no i
difficulty in getting him lo line
up wilb Ibe reactionary leaders
and their discredited organiza
tions.
What is happening?
Simply I his, the people are
striking al the bosses, the nia- I
chine ami the President, wher
ever the presidential primary;
makes it possible for them lo put j
1 heniselves on record.
The results, of course, are hu
miliating to the President. I hey
are h u 111 i I i a I iug lo Mr. MeKinley,]
they are painful and abhorrent j
lo l.orimer. Penrose. Smoot.l
Crane and all the rest of the ma-j
chine Irihe.
For this, nobody hnl the Pres- I
ident is lo blame himself, the men !
who have misled him. The coun-I
try will not take seriously the'
notion that there lias been any j
humiliating of the President ex-1
cept the h 11111 i I i a I iug that lie and'
his leaders and allies brougHt nit
on him.
MAKING BUSINESS FRIENDS. !
l
Wlh'ii oiii* desires business aid; i
lli<* sound nd\ ice i>r si friend. a j
In>ii«I hi* a recommendation. floes j
in* hoard a steamer ami seek j
I hose things in some distant city, j
Nol often. lb' .j«I —! Jim's down 111 «•
street, railing on his aciputin
lanri's for whatever aecommoda
I ion In- may ili'sirr.
Ami yi'l 111 < • i*i • an' nianv who!
ask for busim'ss fa\ors of home j
people, ami will ask foe I h ■ * 111 {
again, who i|o mil hesilali* loj
spend money freely and needless
ly in palroni/iiiK merchants of
oilier cil ies, ol'leii |o disadvantage i
and regret.
Il is an exeellenl principle in i
business lo slanil by I lie people
who slick by you. The man who
buys everything possible al home
creates a circle of business
friends who appreciate his loyal
ly and would like lo relurn il in
so far as I hey can. These busi
ness relations lead lo personal
friendship and Ihey brinK returns
not from self-interest alone, but
from lies of ncighborliness and
pood fellowship.
A great many things in life go
by favor. When two propositions
look about alike, you choose I lie
»»ne that is backed by tin' man
with whom you have had some
friendly relation. Every time any
ono buys al home lie creates that
relation ami the fruitage is like
ly to come back with a surpris
ing amount of compound inter
est flonin day, and it often coincs
from unexpected quarters.
The person who purchases in
nomo distant city gets nothing in
the way of reciprocity in return,
lie has not only set his dollars
rolling afar, but he has east his
broad upon waters which never
return. Who in the big: mail or
der house knows or cares about
him, save as one cog in the vast
mechanism of distribution, to bo
ground through the day's work
without the slightest feeling of
personal friendship or reciproc
ity. The moral is to trade at
home.
EDITORtAL NOTES.
Life is getting to be just one
primary after another.
Wireless heroes at $25 per is
not a sinecure by any means.
The roller towel has nothing
to do with the Taft campaign.
Lots will sell hotter if they are
covered with white or red clover
instead of tin cans and debris.
The man who insists" he can
not live within his salary usual
ly cannot live without it.
The only job at which a man
is willing to work for nothing is
at one not worth doing.

The Tafl-Itoosevell, campaign
has degenerated into "your ail

which lias caused Tafl*s opposi

II appears I hat Tafl's judicial
temperament has been subjected
to the recall.

placed itself squarely in the
(Hark column.

People would think more of
I heir local paper if they knew
how many columns of political
ship they refuse to print to please
some politician.
According to consular reports
there "are openings for dentists"
in several Canadian towns. Bus
iness cavities awaiting filling, as
it were.
There are citizens of San Fran
cisco kicking against the accept
ance of $750,000 from the Lftlrd
of Skiboo for a public library
because the money is tainted. And
this from the bay city!
Even the calm and judicial
mind of President Taft occasion
ally koch wrong. This lime it is
in his letters lo Roosevelt, where
in he says the United Slates was
getting much the best of the bar
gain in the Canadian reciprocity
treaty. The incident may cause
the recall of Ambassador Bryce.
Most of (he senators who re
cently supported Lorirner will
probably follow in the footsteps
of I heir predecessors.
