FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1913.
AT THE FOOT OF THE CLASS.
Mr. Taft takes defeat, amiably
indeed, bid is mil instructed by
j(. “The American people,” he
says, “will have lo he educated
over again in the lessons of liber
ty and will have to he taught
again the value of I he rights we
now have and the restraints un
der which we enjoy them.”
These are solemn words, but
before the President gives up
hope for his countrymen he
should consider the fact lhal they
are as philosophical about their
future as tie is over tiis own. A
great party, a host of politicians
and a well-meaning chief mag
istrate are humiliated today not
because the lessons oi iiDcri>
have been forgotten but because
they never before were taken b
heart more profoundly.
The rights that we have are o'
no value unless public opinion
can be made effective. We do
not enjoy true rights under
needless restraint but l)y their
free exercise. Mr. Taft, like most
ultra-conservatives, cannot dis
tinguish between what is called
progress and what is called vio
lence.
Both terms have been great
ly abused. Democracy is pro
gress Resistance to Democracy
is violence. Mr. Taft failed as
president and as party leader be
cause he exaggerated the re
straints with which .-Democracy
has been safeguarded and belit
tled the intelligence, power and
authority of Democracy itself.
It is the president of the United
States who must be educated ov
er again, not the people.
THAT UNNECESSARY STAMP.
Through a discovery made, the
federal postal authorities have
issued a hurry call, cancelling
the provision of the parcels post
regulations which require special
stamps for postage. The inter
national postal union regulations
provide a separate color for each
denomination ot stamps. me
pare’Is post stamps are all ot one
color and cannot. Ihe'refore. be
used in different denominations
on packages addressed to coun
tries in the postal union.
The discontinuance of the use
of these special stamps on par
cels post packages for foreign
countries should be followed by
their, discontinuance in the do
mestic service. The requirement
of the special stamp simply op
erates as an inconvenience and
annoyance to the class of pa
trons to whom the service was
designed to be a convenience.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Evidently Clarence Harrow is a
man of many trials.
The average London policeman
is paid but $9 a week. Evidently
the London policeman is not a
politician.
The more New York’s internal
workings are examined t he more
certain it becomes that moral
mortification has set in.
Judge Colt has been elected to
the United States Senate from
Rhode Island. The calibre of Ibis
Colt will be determined later.
“The mother-in-law is omnip
otent in China,” says Ella Wheel
er Wilcox. Move to amend by
striking out the words “in Chi
na.”
We refuse to answer Ella
Wheeler Wilcox’s impertinent
question: “Hid you ever know
one man who was really afraid ot
his wife?”
Even a federal judge down in
Texas protests against the inter
ference of the attorney general in
matters which properly belong to
the court to adjudicate.
The frost is now being blamed
for the increase in the price of
lemons. The frost is taking the
place heretofore held by the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
More than 6,000 bottles of near
maraschino cherries have been
condemned at Kansas City. I hat
town will have to switch from
Man ha l tans to Martinis.
Mr. Rockefeller says his wife
amassed all that fortune and
liuill up the Standard Oil mil
|lions. This is not the first time
the blame has been placed on the
woman.
••Dr. Oil of Philadelphia, pro

must he a total abstainer if he
Tan pronounce a name like 11»a(.
There's no accounting for
tastes. Some men are facing cold
weather and the danger of arrest
by robbing freight ears on run
ning trains, while others are just
lobbying for hold up hills in the
legislature,
it isn't fair for the Hnigars
and 0reeks combined to tight the
Turks from front and rear. It is
a violation of the Marquis of
Queensberry’s rules: bn fact it
doesn’t, come up to the London
prize ring rules.
The picture of (he United Stales
Steel corporation pleading for the
retention of the tariff on steel in
order to protect the independent
manufacturers, should have a
companion piece by a picture of
a wo 7 pleading for I he protection

A Seattle reception: “Clarence

It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
