Rowell, the putatiye editor of the paper, is out with a statement that all the "directors of the Republican save himself will support Taft. Rowell and the Republican will continue to support Roosevelt. In other 'words, the paper will support Roosevelt, but the men who own it will personally support Taft. in t- J- rli irA forin1nv nf trie nollcv PEOPLE RULE Uilil i tUJniuo no vy pursued by the Scotch nobles during the turbulent period that ended at Culloden.

lhat seems to De tne oniy piausiDie fxpianauun, of the fact that the Fresno Republican supports one candidate while the proprietors support his opponent. Dr. Chester Rowell, Fresno, and Regent' of the State Unrversity, is the principal owner of the Republican (we understand he owns. a controlling interest) and took a prominent part in or-eanizine a Taft club. His nephew, Chester Rowell, is editor of the Republican and chairman of the Roosevelt League of California.

A If the majority of the voters of the United 8tates want Theodore Roosevelt to be the next President, they can have him. He la a dangerous man far more dangerous than ever before In his pubUo life but let the majority rule. Mr. Roosevelt Is now an avowed and aggressive candidate for the RepubllAn nomination. "I will accept," he a.

nounces ri his answer to the eight Republican governors. That Is. to he will fight for It. The question Is tnus po squarely up -to voters who mate, tain an allegiance to the Republican part Tfieiraecislon will come first If th'ej repudiate President Taft and his admin IstraUon and make Mr. Roosevelt their candidate, then the question will be put beforethe entire electorate.

It Is jjeil to remember Republican party Is not the American Nor does Mr. Roosevelt appeal to the people regardless of party lines. His decision to accept the nomination will, be adhered to, he says, "until, the conven- tlori 1iaS expressed" Iti preference;" anif simultaneously comes the announcement from the Roosevelt headquarters In Washington that, "fas" he should. bee defeated in the Republican convention, he would refuseto hea any Independent ticket. It Is, of course, Impossible to place any faith whatever In any political promise he may make now or in the future, in view of his repudiation of his anti-third term pledge.

"Lest we here It Is again that memorable pledge: "The wise custom which limits the preej (dent to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no olr cumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination." With that solemn pledge now cavalierly laughed aside as of no mora con sequence than a refusal to accept coffee three times at how can we ever trust, his -pledges again? If Mr. Roosevelt should not be nominated by the Republican party, no one can be sure that he would not then be Inspired to head a "people's movement" But, I meanwhile and now, he emerges (from, the dignified and honorable retirement of a former president to answer what? The "call of the people?" Jfot at sJL The call of a party? Not even that Ha emerges from his retirement In response to the call of a mere fraction of a party. That Is what the eight governors represent. Behind them is a mere fraction of a fraction of the American people and Mr. Roosevelt thinks that speaking through them Is the voice of God.

How he came to that conclusion we cannot 'understand, unless being a spoiled darling of fortune flnaUyturns a man's head. Mr. Roosevelt should be congratulated upon the commendable brevity of his letter announcing his candidacy, and noth few weeks ago the same Chester Koweil was cnairman 01 me Follette League of California and the Republican was advocating Robert -M. La Follette for the. Republican Presidential nomination.

No wonder the Republican straddles and wabbles and side-steps like a hen with the blind staggers. Editorially paper is trying to prove that its owners are "dangerous reactionaries," enemies to progress "and servile tools of the predatory interests. Speaking in their proper persons the owners say they are for clean, capable, progressive government such as William Howard Taft has given the and for the policies and principles of the Republican party. But the paper which they" own and whose policy they direct says precisely the Such is Rowellism. Each week Dr.

George C. Pardee, writing over his nom de plume, Wayfarer," -pours out the vials of his wrath on Thomas B. Dozier, former.district attorney, of Shasta county, whom he 'calls by a variety of hard names. The cause of Dr. Pardee's animosity is well kijown; but he would add ta the interest of his persistent denunciation bv explaining why he appointed the said Thomas B.

as Dozier Superior Judge. Dozier declined the appointment, but that does not matter Pardee appointed him. Yet Dozier's political affiliations were as well known then as they are now.

The concert was patterned after the English ballad concert. the board of works awarded contracts today for the supplying of goods to be ments with ease. Neither Peary nor Cook gave such exact details. All the world no'w believes that Cook faked the story of his alleged to the North Pole, but it is a singular "fact that his story of the last! stages of his mythical journey coincides closely with Peary's. In both narratives there is a hazy lack of essential detail.

Amundsen appears to have guarded against criticism, on that score. He took five men with him to the pole, and stayed there three days taking observations. Apparently, he accurately verified the location of the and provided himself with data that would fully bear out his story of the discovery. As he found no traces of Captain Scott and his party, it is fair to presume that the English explorer had not reached the polemp to December 17, the day tjiat Amundsen set out on his return journey. Had Scott discovered the pole prior to Amundsen's arrival he would have left unmistakable evidences of his visit, erected some memorial to signalize discovery.

The absence of memorial confirms the Norwegian's right of original discovery. It is to be hoped that Scott reached his goal and will return iff safety. 'RflACDONOUGH IKE TONIGHT AND ALL THIS WEEK.
