unjustly accused, there is always this consolation: Reputation is only what
people think we are; Character Is what God knows us to be.

Roosevelt calls William Howard Taft, President of the United Sûtes, j

commanded very fine legal talent and extra strong political pull. If the

Many who never voted before. Both the old parties have been
so domineered by selfish Interests the last decade, that many, very many,
earnest men lost interest in elections and stopped voting. "There's nothing
to it, they said, and they were not far wrong. But now that an earnest
man, like themselves, has been nominated, on an honest platform, there is
something to it, and they will go to the polls and vote; and they will i
vote almost to a man for Woodrow Wilson and his platform. Not for the
Democratic nominee. They do not care a hill of beans about that. They
will vote for the man and the principles he stands for.
"Gov. Wilson has received no less than twenty thousand letters from i
Republicans, '»«ays a Seagirt news item, "many of them members of the :
National Committee, pledging their support to him. The letters come from

"battling for the Lord" would be as unthinkable from him as Mr.

Roosevelt's vulgarities about feeling "as bully as a bull moose."
No man strips his speech so bare of appeals to emotionalism, ignor
ance or passion. He will have no falsities. He will talk neither to
the gallery nor to the side boxes, but to the general Intelligence. If

Possibly there is no other farm ani
mal that can offer as poor an excuse
for his existence as the scrub hog. He
is an unprofitable animal any way you
take him. As an economical pork-pro
ducer he is a failure. Even his ability
to shift for himself does not recom

limit of his range, as he has the repu

GOOD ADVICE TO AN OLD FRIEND
From New York World.
We fear that our old friend Col.
Henry Watterson of the Loulsvill Cour- j
ler-Journal Is losing that fine philoso-.
phy and sweet serenity that once sil
vered his Impetuous nature. Listen to >
thls lllnatured snort from the bead
waters of Bitter Creek:
"Like a boy with new boots, brass
heels and toes, the New York World
disports Itself In' the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson. It Is 'A New Birth
pf . Freedom,' says the World. It Is
certalnly a ■scoop' for the longlegged

Dome. They are so pleased. Indeed,

We plead guilty to all the counts In
the Coloners Indictment. The World
feels about Woodrow Wilson as Col.
Watterson feels when he said In the

( Senator Boddie is evidently much In
earnest in his crusade, for he is de
j livering a series of speeches to the

keep away from the loan sharks.

I The scrub hog usually keeps his]
owner so poor that he is not able to
buy better stock. In fact this is the
excuse usually given for his existence.
Poor farming and scrub hogs are us
ually found associated together. They
are near and dear companions. Both
make a rapid retreat before a progres
sive spirit and there is not a better
evidence of the general progressive
ness of the people than the absence of
the scrub hog from the community.
So get busy and buy better hogs.
The fat man leads a timid and wor
ried life. He is always thinking
about thin-legged chairs and elevator
cables and when he sits down in a
street car he knows that he is being
hated by three people who are stand

free sleeper without getting tired and

1 The fat man enjoys winter, for even
the coldest days can't get through him
until about 4 p. m. But In April he
begins to melt and by July he has to
mop his face with a rubber window
cleaner every five minutes. When a
fat man become incandescent all the
way through he conslts of pure mis
ery, especially if he is too polite to
wear a collar button and carry the
rest of his neck-harness over Mb arms,
In spite of all his troubles, the fat

Wilson's opinion of Mr. Ryan.
Gov. Wilson has not changed since
Col. Watterson eulogized him as an
other Tilden, and we advise the colo
nel to readopt bis former opinion of the
Democratic candidate.
As for The World, It will continue
to support Itself. We regard Gov. Wil
son's nomination as a magnificent tri
umph of American self-government.
This man had no bosses behind him.
He had no corporations behind him.
He had no political machine behind
him. He was nominated by the sheer
power of public opinion, because he
best embodied the Issues that corn
front the American people. He owes
his nomination to nobody except him
self and to nothing except his own
mind and character. ,
It Is an inspiring thing to see a
great political party cast aside Its pro
fessional politicians to name for Pres
ident a scholar, a student, a historian,
a collegt president who has stamped
his personality upon public life and
yet has held but one. political office.
It Is a magnificent thing to see the
Republic reaching out with sure and
certain touch to the men who is pre
eminently fitted to meet a great crisis
In Its history.
If Col. Watterson had held himself
aloof from the Harvey-Wllson contro
versy he would now be disporting him
self with The World. His new boots
would be as resplendent as ours and
the Star-Eyed Goddness would be In
better company than she has been
