Entered at tho poatoilicc, Greenfield, Iiul., as second class mutter.
NEWTON R. SPENCER, Editor and Proprietor.
WISE POLITICAL PROPHET
"I told you so."
"I told you so." "I told you
SO."
The pleasure of political victory is sweet, but with the promotion to political positions go tho grave responsibilities of administration.
Can the Republican party "come back" in 1912? is a question that will be asked many times. Tho victories of the Democracy this year will greatly strengthen that party for tho campaign two years hence.
There can be no doubt but that the great Democrotic landslide wtaioh occurred Tuesday was the work of Republicans. Much of it was due to hostile factions within the party,while the discontent of the mas sea led many to vote for a change.
Few men have lost so much prestige in a life time as Col. Theodore Roosevelt has in the past few months. There are many people who greatly admired him who have deeply regretted to see him make what to them seemed a very grave mistake.
Judigng from the past there will be no National Legislation of any importance written the next two years. A Democratic House and Republican Senate should if statemenship instead of politics prevailed, accomplish wise and beneficient legislation, but such is not the case. The nest, two years will be passed in playing politics for an advantage in the next presidental election. The public will suffer as a result, and people will pay tho price of a game of politics.
The country probably uover was in bettor shape for Democratic victory. In 1890 property was at high tide—in 1893 it was at a low ebb in distressing financial and industrial conditions. The same ideas on the tariff question is now advocated which produced tlie panic of 1893 to 1897. If a political party connot Ioarn wisdom by the sad experience, of that period, it is perhaps now opportune for another example by contrast from the present unprecedented prosperity to the sad conditions of panic and financial disaster. But if it must, let it come. It is coinnnn for learners to have to "ifet" iheir lessons twice.
The mere partisan Republican will look iIh dismay upon tho sweeping Democratic victories thoughout the country, but the sincere student of political evenly will see in them an attempt of the people lo right political wrongs. It is a manifestation of the owlt of the people, and the fact that they have broken away from such long-established party anchorings in many places demonstrates that they are awake—that they are neither dead nor sleeping. They yet hold the ower snd have the courage to exercise it. They bave eutrusted it for a seas...n to a new custodian in many places. The tenure of that trust wiil depone largely upon the faithful discharge of duty. Tho ehange has apparently placed many new and able men into official political position. Such officers, receiving the commission of trust at the hands of voters of different political parties, should be, and no doubt will be stimulated to greater official efficiency. If these new public servants make good they will find a ready and hearty approval at the hands of their intelligent voter constituents, if they fail the same power which promoted them, can and will retire them. In addition to stimulating the new officers by the exercise of non-partisan political grace, the rebuke administered to the defeated partisans will reimpress upon them the real source of political power. So,no matter from what stand-point one may view the results, there is the inevitable conclusion that the people are simply working out the perplexing problems of their self-government at a oritical period in party history.
Miss Edna Pierson has returned to her home in Grant county after a visit here with Lew Dixon and family.
