I do not affect to deny the satisfaction I should feel, if, after casting up the totals, pro and con, and striking a balance, they should decide that my first term had been fruitful enough of good to warrant their enlisting me for another. Any man would be proud of such a verdict. "But I have not been willing, nor shall I be, to purchase it at the sacrifice of my freedom to my duties as I ccc it. "My happiness is not dependant on holding any office; and I shall go back to private life with no heartburnings if the people, after an unprejudiced review of my administration, conclude that someone else can serve them to their greater advantage." Mr. Taft is an honest, brave chief executive always doing his duty as he sees it.

He has accomplished much during the past three years and will accomplish more during another term. THE LABOR UNIONS. Nothing has stirred the whole United States in months as did the confession of the McNamaras at Los Angeles. Now they have gone to San Quentin to begin their terms of sentence in the penitentiary but the effect of their confessions is yet to be determined on the labor unions, the organizations most closely connected. Of the labor unions Goodwin's Weekly says: As it seems to us the labor unions are standing at the parting of the For a long time in the Western Federation of Miners, the violent and conscienceless men in the organization were the leaders and directors, and they perpetrated many outrages in several states.

A bad lot has been in control of the Iron men. The I. W. W's we do not include In any legitimate organisation. It was organized by men who were not only determined to have something for nothing, but to have the lion's share.

But the great majority of men in labor unions in our country are as good men as live in any country and only demand a square deal. When we say the unions are at the parting of the ways, we mean that since the unmasking in Los Angeles, the unions will have to decide whether they will elect their wisest and most conservative men to fill their offices or whether they will elect the loud mouthed and vicious element which has crept into their associations. If the former, they will grow In strength, usefulness and standing right along; if the latter, then the time will come, and come soon, when no man known to belong to a union can obtain employment, for the public will not long live with the feeling that there is a lawless force in the country which they must cater to and obey, or be treated as the ordinary hold-up or treats his victim. The men tried for the murder of the Governor of Idaho were acquitted and that ends the case with them, but the whole west knows that he was killed because, as the executive of the state, he performed what he believed to be his duty. The whole west knows that killing of men in the two or three years of violence that ruled in Colorado, was all due to a determination of the Federation there to rule or ruin.

All that will have to stop or the unions will have to go. It is up to them to decide. POSTAL REGULATIONS. This is the time of the year when Uncle Sam sends out instructions as to what can and what cannot be COLFAX GAZETTE, COLFAX, WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 15, 1911. done in mailing Christmas presents.

Each year the post office department has been growing more strict until this year it is not even permissible to write on several presents, wrapped in one big package: "This is for John" or "This is for Mary" or anything else. No writing of any kind is permitted to be included in anything but first class postage. If there is writing then it goes On top of this the department hai ruled that all typewritten matter it the same as hand writing or first-class. If anyone happens to have a mimeograph he can get his package! through with the desired announcements but all others must pay firstclass. The postal department want packages plainly marked with names and addresses of the person to whom they are sent.

Likewise a return address Is wanted on each package so that if it goes wrong for any reason the sender can recover his gift. CUTTING IT SHORT. The Southern Pacific railroad has decided to save time and ink by omitting from all letters the formal introductions and endings. There will be no more "my dear sirs" and "your obediant servants." At first it will look a little cold, but as the habit spreads it will become less objectionable. In the past 20,0 years great changes have come over letter writing.

The flowery beginnings and endings of Gov. Winthrop's day are heard of no more. The demand is for brevity. Wasted words is wasted money. That Governor Hay will refuse to call an extra session of the legislature is almost certain.

He has not said so in so many words at this writing but those close to him have said his mind is fairly well made up. The belief that a majority of the citizens of the state do not wish the legislature to convene in special session appears to have been confirmed by the conference at Tacoma last week between the governor, members of the legislature and a few leaders. Insurgent leaders told the governor they believed he should get the lawmakers together to make it possible to enact a statute providing for a preference presidential primary. To all appearances little headway was made with the governor and as a result he has been threatened with dire results next year. One thing Is almost certain, that M.

E. Hay will not have the insurgent backing for renomination. Of the 23 members of the legislature who attended the conference In Tacoma, 19 opposed a special session. A special session of the legislature each year would be fine for the politicians but a little hard on the taxpayers. It is enough to see who is urging an extra session.

'Tis said history should never be written with a whitewash brush. For Wife Desertion. Deputy Sheriff William Cole was in Spokane Wednesday and arrested Phil Hayfield of Farmington, wanted on the charge of wife desertion. Prosecuting Attorney Paul Pattison was in opokane at the time and consented to an arrangement whereby Hayfield made a property settlement giving his wife about $1500 and the case was dismissed.

Basket Ball. The Colfax High School quintet won a featureless game of basket ball from the Steptoe five Wednesday evening by the lop-sided score of 64-2.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.
