nor Johnson has announced that

doubtedly his support would in-
volve the making of a number of
speeches. Judge Gray is yet to
be heard from on the subject,
but the fact that he is a federal
judge would afford a convenient
excuse for avoiding participation
in the campaign. \
There will not be any lack,
though, of Democratic orators.

Should Secretary Taft be the
nominee of the Chicago conven-

country, and it is accepted as a
matter of course that if Mr.
Bryan is nominated at Denvef
he will make a lot of speeches.
It has been many years since a
Republican candidate for Presi-
dent went on the stump, but Mr.
Taft. believes the people will
want to see and hear him and he
doesn’t propose they shall be de-
prived of the opportunity to do
so. When James'G. Blaine was
the candidate in 1884 he tock
the stump, and though he failed
o^ election it was not the opinion
at the time that he lost more
than he gained by reason of his
speech-making. Undoubtedly
Bryan polled a much larger vote

With the President of the U.
8. and both the leading candi-
dates for President making
speeches, the people would fair-
ly revel in oratory." Their ap-
pearance on the stump would
make it difficult, of course, for
orators of lesser note to attract
attention to themselves, but that
is not a matter over which the
public atJarge need be seriously

After a continuous rise from
last Tuesday until yesterday the
high water found its summit and
is now slowly falling. It could
have gone higher1 without mate-
rial damage to the crops—all of
it was long since submerged—
but we hail its departure with
delight and hope against hope
that some sort of crop may be
made in the bottom this year
anyway. In conversation with
a number of farmers, we tried
to find out their opinion and in-
tentions as to further attempt at
planting cotton. All of r,them
were undecided on this point,
ay fearing that the boll wee-
v’ would only be given that
much green stuff to feed upon.
AU of them, however, intend
planting corn. It is thought a
good corn crop can yet be made,
the only thing to fear being the

Maynard, May 25, 1908—An-
nouncement is hereby made that

sonville, Texas, on Thursday and

Washington, May 31.—While
no official statement on the sub-
ject bas been given out, the in-
formation comes from trust-
worthy sources that President
Roosevelt has decided to make concerned,
two or three campaign speeches,
in th® event that Secretary Taft
is nominated for president by
' the convention at Chicago. There
has been no decision, of course,
as to the time and places of
these speeches, but it is under-
stood to be the President’s de-
sire that at least one of them
should be delivered in New York.
There is a twofold reason why
the President would prefer to
speak in, New York. One, of
course, is that it is his own state,
and while it is true New York is
the center of anti Roosevelt
sentiment the President has a
strong following among the
masses of Empire State Re
publicans and has not in any
s?rious measure lost his in-
fiuencswith them. The second
is that New York, as always, is a
pivotal state. The Republican
nominee might be elected with
out New York’s electoral vote
but it is essential to Democratic
success and the President could
render the Republican nominee!
no greater service than by help-
ing to hold the Empire State in
line.
It goes witbout saying that
the President is going- to be
severely criticized for making
campaign speeches, but it is fair-
- ly safe to assume that this pros-
pective criticism does not worry
Mr. Roosevelt. He bas no great
veneration for precedents which
have back of them nothing more
substantial than hoary age, and
if he ^binks it right to lay aside
the presidential dignity long
enough to speak for his friend
no considerations of adverse
criticism are going to stop him.
- There is no warrant for as-
suming, however, that the
country will be violently out-
raged in feeling if Mr. Roose-
velt makes a campaign speech
or two. He has done other
things%o other President would
have dared to do, and instead of
^rising in their wrath to destroy,
the people have applauded.
There is every prospect the
coming campaign will be one of
great writer; enthusiasm his speechesaroused. ancj jf a big cropJcould be secur-
ed it would go far toward alle-
viating the present pressure. j

Some hare said that it Is not ths
business of private men to middle
with government—a bold and dishon-
est saying, which i» fit to come from
no mouth but that of a tyrant or a
slave. To say that private men have
nothing to do with government is to
say tkht private men have nothing to
do with their own happiness or mis-
ery; that people ought not to concern
themselves whether they be naked or
clothed, fed or starved, deceived or in-
etructed, protected or destroyed.—

Emergency Meeting.
From Monday's DaUr
Pursuant to call issued in
Saturday’s paper, a meeting
mains to be disclosed. 'Gow-' WB® S«»terdsy afternoon at
the city ha’’, attended by about
seventy-five representative gen-
tlemen of the city, and the - con-
dition of the flood-sufferer® dis-
cussed. It had been suggested
that it might be possible that the
Cjity would have to look out for
some of the colored people vAio
lost all their crops, and it was
for the purpose of discussing
this feature that the meeting
was called.
After considerable expression
upon the part of several farmers,
well acquainted with the situa-
tion, it was shown that it is not
always good policy to be too
quick to offer to provide food in
such cases and the idea was dis-
couraged. It was considered
much better to appoint an em-
ploymentcommittee whose duty
it will be to look out for oppor-
tunity to place as much of the
local help as possible. By such
means it is considered that the
sufferers will become selfsus-
taining and be of material assist
ance where their services are
needed, when to feed them
would, in all probability, be the
worse thing for them.
Mayor Kirk was made chair-
man of the meeting and Ward
Templeman, secretary. The
mayor will name the employ-
ment committee whenever he
thinks the occasion ripe for it
and the meeting was adjourned
subject to his call.
From Monday'i Drily.
Miss Helen Kennard left yes-
terday for Abilene to visit her

with friends and incidentally

Miss Georgia Foster returned
today noon from Lynchburg, Va.,
where she attended school the
