Madero, commander of the revolutionary forces in Mexico, seems to be a man of nerve. It is well for the revolutionists that they have such a man at their head. Something like 1,100 plural mar riages'in Utah last year, bet that I doesn't prevent the Mormon t^nator from sitting in the directorate of yie Republican party. You hive laid the foundation for a successful business life, my boy, when you have learned to restrict your expenditures within your in come. Don't forget this. -* Where the government pays out $10 for the military it expends $1 for agriculture and about 30 cents for education. And yet we call our selves a civilized, Christian nation. The Oklahoman says with more than 20 applications for state bank charters it doesn't look as though the bark deposit guaranty law is likely to eliminate the state banks of Oklahoma. Good roads will pay the farmer back in cash dividends. He 9hould not hesitate to talk and vote for every good road proposition. Good roads is one of the best assets any county can have. It is advisable for our people to let ("get-rich-quick" ? scheme alone. Read the testimony in the wireless telegraph, scheme now being tried in New York, and you will be con vinced of this fact. Friends of Ambassador Hill circu lated-a story that he had been forced to relinquish his post at the Ger man court to' make room for the ?appointment of a contributor to the Taft campaign fund. Its a good thing for the country that a level headed, patriotic gen tleman is president instead of the blusterer of Oyster Bay. If Roose velt was president instead of Taft we would now be at war with Mexico. It now looks as if the loquacious Mr. Hines "put Lorimer over" too far. iWhen he is investigated the second time by the senate even Bailey will not be able to save the great beneficiary of fraud. The following germs have been found on milk and other tickets: streptococci, staphtroccicci, pneumoc occi, and the pseudo-bacillus of Loef fler. The germs must indeed be dan gerous if they are more formidable than their names. It is astonishing how so many so Called liberty loving Americans are paying fabolous sums for little spaces from where they car ?ee King George crown sd. Some such thing as this no doubt caused Puck to remark, "What fools these mortals be." The Spartanburg Journal says it is beiag suggested by patriotic per sons that the shooting of Americans across the Mexican border will event ually lead to the organization of the Daughters of the Innocent Bystand ers of the /Mexican Revolution. The Chicago News says that "if the Democratic senators annoy Bail ey, he might resign " The News need not worry on that score. Bailey will never leave the Senate until the Dem ocrat in Texas kicks him out, which they ought to do at the very fir.st opportunity. It turns out that the bloodthirsty politicians who sought the Hon. Tos. E. Watson's life were two small boys stealthily preparing to dynamite a neighboring fish pond, but the Hon. j Thomas E. continues to foam at the mouth and swear that he is on the eve of being murdered because he knows a few things. The Hon. Thos. E. is either unbalanced or an un mitigated humbug. What is needed in this country more than anything else to check the carmval of crime is a strict obser vance of all laws. Not only the laws that prohibits murder, but all laws whether we like them or not. If uv ery uian who holds an office of any kind in the State would determine to cbey all laws that bear on his office and see that others do the Sf.aie, there would soon bo a change for the better. School year in most sections of I the laud is nearing its end and a j mighty host of jubilant boys and girls I will be set free to enjoy the long summer days. To that large army of I teachers who have toiled with such J faithfulness and success vacation will be equally welcome. Probably most people do not sufficiently realize the wonderful tact, patience and other qualities a teacher normally displays, nor the extent of the nervous strain imposed by the responsibilities of his or her position. Take All or None. In writing to some of his constit uents, who wanted him to vote for a duty on a certain article, because it was made in hir. district, Con gressman Johnson, who represents the i Piedmont district, showed his fallscy of attempting to be half pro tection and half tariff for revenue, ! as_ .the. protectionists in his district wanted him to be. As he says, you must either be for one or the other. The.ce is no middle ground. Cou gre&sman Johnson/ says: "We can't, destroy a vicious system by becoming participants in it. If any man in the south sells hiB birthright for a mess of pottage, he is helpless. A man who seeks protection on one article made or grown in his locali ty, must stand for protection for all. He dare not fight any tariff Iniquity, lest he lose his own graft. The strong beneficiaries of protection be lieve that they hai e the right to the cream and that you ought to be sat isfied wit? the skimmed milk, even if you did milk it from your own cows. "The steel trust, the meat trust, the rubber trust, the harvester'trust, and all that horde that have grown fat will give you a few crumbs if you will stand for their graft. What lit tle the south has gotten or will get from protection can best be illustrat ed by my boyho experience. When they; cooked po- d cake (the real article) I stood around with open mouth to catch tho crumbs from the bottom of the pan when the cake was taken out. The southern man who will help these great influences to get the cake wlU be permitted to scratch the crumbs from the bottom of the pan." That is good, sound, Democratic doctrine, and our people should .re member it. A congressman has no right to ask for protection for any thing made in his district, unless he is willing to vote to protect things made in other districts. That is only fair. Therefore, when a con gressman votes to protect an article because it is made in his district, he commits himself lo the whole thiev ing tariff system,- and cannot con sistently deny protection to the things made in other congressional districts. Takes the i\ight View. Congressman Joseph T. Johnson, of Spartanburg, takes the right view in reference to the duty of a man holding the office he does. In answer to some of his constituents who wanted him to vote for a duty on certain things that they manufac ture, and who wrote to him to that effect when they iearned that he was going to vote to put them on the free list, he said, "If you were to con vince me that I am wrong I would do the honest thing. The honest thing would not be to vote for pro tection, but to resign my seat in con gress because r.iy views on funda mental governmental questions are as well known to my constituents as is my face. I belijve that campaign assurances and pledges, when fol lowed by election, become binding and solemn obligations, which must be faithfully observed in letter and in spirit. If I should become con vinced that as a candidate I was wrong on a fundamental proposition, like the one now in hand, I would be honest enotu;h with myself and honest enough with my constituents to surrender my commission." That is a high position, but is one that every congressman and senator should occupy. They do not repre sent themselves, but the people who sent them to congress, and they should vote as their constituents want them to or resign. Stolen All But the Roosfcv. The Indianapolis New Era says those who have memories encompas sing the campaign of 1908 will re member that during Air. Bryan's memorable speaking tour he took occasion to advocate the limiting of any concern to fifty per cent, of the country's production in any line. He proposed this that monopoly in that line might be prohibited. The prop osition was received with ridicule by our business guardians. Now, E. H. Gary, of the Ur.ited Stages Steel Cor poration, comes forward with the same plan, but puts the percentage at 60. His crmpany now produces 55 per cent, of the steel products of the country. His proposition will be received by those who scoffed at that offered by 'Mr. Bryan as a good bus iness regulation. If this purloining of Democratic doctrine continues during the next decade as it has dur ing the last, the Democratic party will soon have nothing left that it can call its own but the rooster. Judge Blair Knows. Judge A. Z. Blair, of Portsmouth, O.. who fined 1,000 men in West Union county, Ohio, for selling their votes and disfranchised the entire number for five years, is visiting in Denver. Speaking to a representa tive of the United Press, Judge Blair said: "I am in favor of the initia tive, referendum and recall. I am firmly convinced that the adoption of these measures of popular gov ernment throughout the country will do more, perhaps, than any other one thing to put an end to corruption in politics, and particularly to the buy ing and selling of votes." Judge Blair knows what he is talking about. He has come in contact with the real article, and he feels the need of a remedy. Illinois in Bad Shape. Illinois, once the home of great men and statesmen, has certainly de generated, and is now a most degrad ed commonwealth. Members of its state legislature, in return for cash, gave the votes which sent William Lorimer to the United States senate. Its legisla'.'ire has now defeated the initiative and referendum. And the Chicago Inter-Ocean, comment ing upon the fact, says that the twenty-nine members who enabled jthis to be done "deserve the thanks land honor of every patriotic Ameri can citizen." May we not expect next to see the Inter-Ocean accrediting the murderous Italian Camorrists .with sainthood? We agree with the Oklahoman that if there is a state in the Union that needs the initiative, referendum and recall it is Illinois. That it needs the recall is shown by the action of an Illinois court in liber ating a trust magnate charged with participation in the conspiracy to debauch the legislature and purchase a seat in- the United States senate. Not since the Borglas ruled over Rome has there been a more putrid' political regime than that which now exists in Illinois. The nation holds its-nose..
