Westminster. Mary land. Second Class Matter. FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 12, 1908. POPULAR GOVERNMENT. As Mr. Lincoln aptly put it, “a gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people.” That, accord ing to American thought, is the ideal government. It is a form of govern ment in which every citizen has equal participation and equal interest. There was a time, and not a very re mote period either, when such an idea of government was regarded as absurd and impossible. The Anglo-Saxon race, through great difficulties, was many centuries preparing for it. And it finally came, and we do not believe that any spot upon the earth was so well adapted to the experiment as the North Amer ican continent. Here Divine Providence unfolded this system of government, and for nearly a century and a half its devel opment has proceeded, until it may be safely s:id. r.o people in the world are sc well governed and so free. They enjoy liberty without license, and are subject to law, without undue re straint. This is the country in which we, as American citizens, live, and of which we arc justly proud. And a country, i with itr- representative form of gov-' •eminent which we are bound, as good : citizens, to hand down, unimpaired. l to the generations which follow us. 1 ‘‘Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" was the warning of that pa triot and statesman, Andrew Jackson, and truer words were never spoken. If the American people wish to pre serve their inheritance, they must watch it. We deplore corruption in our politics, and it ought to be eradi cated. but if this blessed country of ours ever goes to pieces, it will not be so much because of political cor ruption as the indifference of those who never concern themselves about the politics of the country. It is the duty of every American | citizen to take his place with his fel lows in trying to make the govern ment just what it ought to be, and , thus discharge the plain function of good citizenship. TASSAR’S PRESIDENT WARNS. Says Government's Tendencies Men ace The Republic. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 7.—ln his baccalaureate sermon to Vassar | seniors today Rev. James Monroe ! Taylor, president of Vassar College, | declared that the radical tendencies i the Government at this time are men acing the republic. "A startling change has come over American political thought,” said Dr. Taylor, “in 10 years—since we became | a ‘world power.’ We were really something of a nation with some in fluence before that little Spanish War. I am not now referring to the vast increase—deplorable, indeed—of war talk and war feeling, but to the more dangerous tendency to absorb legisla tive and even judicial powers into the executive department of the Govern ment. That is the worst single symp tom in our political horizon—far more dangerous even than the threat of in creased class feeling in our nation— for it strikes at the whole theory of democratic government. "The general acceptance of a doc trine of paternalism is foolish, an un warranted faith in a government—in its power to right the wrongs that only the people can right—and it is the cessation of government by the people and for the people; and un less we turn about, as we surely shall, it is a death knell of democracy—a mortal stroke against the independ ence and the manhood of the citizen.” Do Sot All Get Married. “A mistaken but widely prevalent idea is that most women who resign the profession of teaching do so to get married,” said Prof. M. T. Leland, of Chicago. ‘‘The facts are that many bright wo men are quitting the teaching business nowadays to take up lines of work out of which they can make better sal aries. The average woman teacher has to toil at the job about 17 years before she is in receipt of a stipend much above S2O a week. Many clever wo men can make better money than this as expert stenographers, accountants, nurses, typewriters, librarians and the like after a couple of years’ experience. “So it is that they fall out of the pedagogue profession by the hundreds, leaving in the schools a big per cent, of the least clever and competent, and that is perhaps why we see in the daily press so much adverse criticism of our public schools. I for one do not blame the smart woman for retir ing from a vocation where for years her Increase of pay Is less than S4O per annum.” j BOUGH EIDERS AT CHICAGO. Old Political Leaders Staggered by Roosevelt’s Method#. iS 3. l > Old hands at national conventions £ profess themselves staggered at the s', rough directness with which the Roose 'e velt control of the party machinery is }. being exerted. What becomes of the s- 1 fine art of politics? Where are all • those nice compromises, that mag t! nanimity of the victor, that desire for sr conciliation and harmony which we ! have always understood to be the full Sd flower of political management? Mur >e phy and Conners could scarcely be f’ | more frankly brutal than the Taft as i managers have thus far shown them selves at Chicago. They mean to let re nothing get away. To ride rough-shod 18 1 over Senators and Representatives and >e| protesting committeemen and dele | gates, appears to be their conception of the height of political wisdom. • And - when the result of their strong-arm tactics was reported to the White ’ House, he that sitteth in that heaven held his opponents in derision. “Just see them squirm!” A decent regard for appearances | would have dictated some other i course than having three of Taft’s hir ’ i ed men turn up with proxies for seats e in the National Committee. It would 1 have been perfectly easy to reach the - ; desired end without resort to such uu .l blushing methods. Surely, there must have been some Senator other than " Lodge willing to take a proxy in Taft’s 1 ! behalf. Among all the well-known Republicans favoring the Secretary’s | candidacy, it must have been possible - to find two or three who would have ; used the artfully provided proxies, and 1 thus spared the committee and the 1 party the affront of having three men i who were known only as paid out of ’ the Taft campaign fund step forward i to pass judicially upon credentials, which they themselves had secured. 3 1 That would at least have been to , | keep a very thin velvet glove over the iron hand. But it is too hot to wear gloves in Chicago! I The whole incident, with its violent break with party traditions, and the ; ’ j disagreeable effect it has produced I upon the older Republicans, is but one j evidence more of the great change 1 j which has come over political man • tiers and political methods since Mr. Roosevelt came to look upon the Re publican party as his personal prop .; erty. To him, the possession of power without using it to the utmost, is sheer ‘ folly. The nomination of Secretary Taft is his doing. He ordered it. He j set the whole Federal machinery to | work for the purpose of bringing it j about. All the other Taft managers i were putty in his hands. As for the ! party, what does it exist for but to take instructions from him? Disci i pliue must be maintained; and if any left-over Republicans of an epoch be fore the age o? brass think that the j: delicacies and the decencies ought to i be observed in running a national con- ( i vention, it is time that they learned i their mistake. This is the day of ’ Thorough. 1 i It is clear that the President re-; i gards the Chicago Convention not only as a body with no other reason for j j being except to do his will, but also j as the beginning of the vast plebiscite which is to justify and glory himself, i Like Louis Napoleon, he thinks of the ' appeal to the people as merely the - means of confirming his wisdom and heightening his power. Also like Na- . poleon 111., he believes that no gov ernmental authority can be respect able. or feared, unless it is both single and strong—“un et fort.” Hence the entire reasonableness, even the neces sity, from his point of view, of round ing up and branding delegates as if they were cattle. Protests at Chicago against the | 1 cowboy plan are taking the form of J a warning about the result at the j - polls. Senator Crane has gone to the £ Taft rough-riders with a reminder s that an election comes after the nomi- ; nation, and is even more important, j, But this only provokes fresh laughter c in the White House, and renewed in- | ‘ 1 structions to yield nothing. When the j J ! election comes, the President will at- j I tend to that. In his most skilled and j "practical” way, he will see to raising . (the necessary funds; and if speeches i and telegrams and battlecries are j I needful, Mr. Roosevelt will stand | ] ready to provide them. The obvi- | , ous fact is that the President believes I all that he is told about his absolute | ' hold upon the people of this country. \ He can do what he likes, give any or- ■ ders that suit him. It is just as easy, | in his opinion, to cram his candidate |; down the throats of the electorate, as ‘ it is to force him upon the Convention, i , So the protesters at Chicago may rest I well assured that no alarm which they j, raise about the danger of dissensions ; ‘ \ in the party and possible defeat in the I election, -will have the slightest effect ( upon the man who rules them with; a rod of iron. He remains serenely j confident that the people will give back to him every power which he chooses to exercise. The Chicago j Convention may protest and make : faces, but it will have to resign itself}; to being “personally conducted.” —N. Y. Evening Post. The Maryland Colt Show.
