This will be in thenature of an
open letter to the people, {and, per
"incident, to President Roosevelt,
^Following his" nomination '6y a
i. nandful of days, Mr. Rooseveltan
^nounced that he would notaooept
1 another term."" At divers times
"since then, by pen and by word qI
mouth, he has re-asserted such de­
termination.
As recently as last month, in a
-letter, to Mr. Conant, of Colorado*,
Mr. Rooeevelfc—if one may believe
the press—declared by his secretary
that "You will have to vote for
some other Republican next time."
j^-is of mora than pas ring moment.
., The White House is the heart of
national concern. If ever the Re
public be slain,it is there that a
sinister Fate will plant the knife.
Wherefore the people should jeal
iously scan whatever is to affect that
straoture in its occupation, or sub
tract from their dominant right to
__ name its Presidential tenant.
It may De regarded as axiomatic
that, in picking its Presidents, the
public alone is judge. No one may
stand at the popular elbow and di­
rect the popular choice. No man
may say he won't be .President.
Tho&e are not questions for the in­
dividual. The White House-is pot
a tov.t"" Its bestowal shoulcTTLot be
looked upon in the light pfa oom

interest, the jtt*eJ:ereftce,~ the modes-

The puollQi. wiien it c^Il^d hina ro

reasons for the hopes wiMnu it Th'"
'powerful forces' ot a nialignafct,
piedatory wealth were abroad. Vcift
combrnatioBS of ^pirate capital had.
milifted'thon.seives, and ware'"cast­
ing a shadow fill acros#
fthe
land.
This pirate e-vil, Money, coulcKlie
seen asserting iteelf in tlie iegiste-'
tive and executive btoiruShes '0t the
^overnfiie-it and. ev^n the conrtr
were not froa oil its joiaeb icfluences.
Might—the ruight oi! money—'was
lw#!otn3iafi right. The public's own
oCEioers acted as moHey-h6rdBra,-"to
-fjrjve the Socks ot public iatereafc
to the 'shepring.^sh^ds. It wfe.3 a
cri^i':, one that demanded a re vol u-
$ tion not of -45^yoitet' and cartridge,
possessed the measure of his coarage
his honesty^ his intelligence,. his
power of initative. &
Knowing him, ani knowing the
work in hand^ the people made him
President. Nor has he fallen short
of general expectation* Rather he
has gone beyond, and where the
people hoped for an inch he has
given them an $11.
It was no marvel the people de
manded Mr, Roosevelt. Every age,
since the morning of time, oould
have used one. Politiot never
change8/44t is the same today as
when Moses led his brickmakers out
of Egypt, or Wat Tyler brought the
men of Kent London town. Politics
is only a name forthat irrepressble
oonflict which rages, has ever raged
and will ever rage, between property
and perohing flesh and blood—the
Men with the Dollars against the
Men with the hands, It is the tame
old dogs over the same old bones,
is politics—Money against Mankind
and government,, with its presidents
and congresses and courts of justice,
was born to see fair play between
them. The people in their fight
with that pirate Money, were being
overborne They were not, as they
saw the right, receiving fair, play.
And so they swept Mr. ^Roosevelt
into-the White. House. Also, it
should be noticed that, if those pi?
rates ot gold could nave, prevented
his Whtie House coming, they
would have beta Withe' fOr its
ucwojssp^fefaant/i B^iiicd

telling the. world ever since taat it:
is his friend. I think it fools lieitBer
the people nor M-r. Roosevelt—that
hypocritical Mouey. status to­
ward the Adniinistratioii is under­
stood. It is a captive, not a' friend
a prisoner, nxfc an ally.

Complete surprise, and was as unex

one, 'was .consumated on Wednes­
day of- this weok-, when the man
agement of the Hotel Worthington
was turned over to R. P. Dorgan
recently-of the Golden" West hotel
of Minneapolis.
Mr. Dorgan visited this city a
,'couple of weeks ago on a.prospecting
trip. After looking tho field over
decided this was a good location, and.
made the Lear Bros. an offer for
the. ffotiel Wortington, which was
accepted. Mr. Dorgan -has bought
Wf A ..WW:
ing from Got. G.
owns the property.
Mr. Dorgan is an experinoed hotel
man, and we are confident he will
make the Worthington one of the
most popular hoetleries in this part
of the state. Mr. Dorgan was at
one time located at Barron, Wis.,
and the writer can personally vouch
for him as a model landlord and
careful and upright business man.
The Worthington enioys an exten­
sive patronage and if there is any
possibility of increasing the busi­
ness Mr. Dorgan is the man to do it
Mr. Harry Lear will remain with
the hotel as day clerk. The rest
of the Lear family will remain until
fall, when they expect to go south
for the winter. Beyond that they
have no definite plans, but rather
expect to remain in Worthington,
a fact which will please their many
friends. .'
