The idea of anyone trying to bribe

The Atlanta Journal man, who has

?State legislatures axe now ad

some cases, at least, there is a gen

Diaz is pretty well acquainted with
the Mexican people, and probably
knows that he is safer in Spain than
he would be in his own country.
*We have laid aside the pencil and
pastepot and hied ourselves off to

The sickly, sentimental talk about
taking away a man's liberty by the
enforcement of the prohibition law
is not only nonsense, but it is an
argument without logic or fact.
A Philadelphia doctor had to have
his eye operated -on because a woman
stuck a hatpin in it. If this thing
keeps on, hatpins will have to be
legislated out of women's hats.
Some physician is credited with
saying that if people will sing an
h-cur or two every day they will nev

us that the neighbors would have
something worse than indigestion.
Six cents was awarded to a Macon,
Ga., woman as damages because she
was forcibly kissed by a man. The
jury that awarded that verdict evi
dently do not think that stolen kisses

Felder knew what t?i was doing

There Is no telling what cotton will
sell for next fall, as from estimates
and reports that have been issued
from several sources, it appears that
the supply of raw cotton will be prac
tically exhausted by the time the 1911
crop is placed on the market.
Wisconsin has got tired waiting on
the United /States Congress to pass
a law providing for the elections of
Senators by the people and has pass

The Columbia Record seems de
termined to change the name of the
Editor of The'Times and Democrat
to MIms. Such a mistake, repeated
two or three times, might be excus
able In a little obscene country news
paper, but not in a great afternoon
dally like the Record.
The Times' and Democrat congrat
ulates the boys and girls who will re
ceive their diplomas tomorrow eve
ning- from the City School. We wish
every one of them a long and happy
life, wi:h Just enough thorns to re
mind them of the beautiful flowers
blooming along its pathway.
Mrs. B. G. Herndoh has again as
sumed editorial control of the
Branch^'ille Journal, after being out
of harness for about two years. The
Times md Democrat extends her a
warm welcome back to the fourth es
tate, and wishes her a long, pleasant
and profitable connection with the
Journal.
The President of the American
Paper and Pulp Association told the
Senate committee recently that the
newspapers are "not fit to read half
the tine." Thus we perceive the
great moral function of the Paper
Trust. Its service to humanity is to
punish the newspaper! for their sins
by taking as much money away from
them as possible in the way of char
gee for white paper.
An English novelist says "the Ideal
woman doesn't exist." This may be
true as to England, but not of Amer
ica. We can stand on our porch any
fair day and count a dozen or more
ideal women, and there are others.
The Journal says "Branchvllle de
feated Bowman Thursday afternoon
in a very slow game of ball by the
score of 19 to 3." We can't see how
a gam*' in which one club is credited
with nineteen runs could be a slow
one.
The Children's Welfare Exhibits
already held in New York and Chi
ago, and which probably will be tak
en up by other cities, are of great
public benefit. Not only do they call
attention to the bad, unwholesome
conditions in which multidudes ex
ist.but they show how to better those
conditions. Many thousands of chl'l
drm die in their first year, because of
inuuffioient or unwholesome food.
TtAt is a veritable "Slaughter of the
Innocents!' due to ignorance dirt,
dtueaso and impure milk. And the
f range thing about it is that so
o^uiy are indifferent to it all.
Prices Fixed by Truist.
Last summer during the discus
sion of the vote of certain Democrats
for a duty on lumber, the charge
made by The Times and Democrat
that there was a Lumber Trust that
regulated prices was denied on the
stump and in some newspapers. A
big lumber dealer in another State
said if we would prove to him that
there was a Lumber Trust that at
tempted to fix prices he would pre
sent us with one thousand dollars.
We hope he has carefully read the
t >stiiuony given before the State court
of Missouri at St. Louis a few days
ago by Geo. K. Smith, secretary of
the Yellow Pine Manu facti-ing As
sociation.
Mr. Smith testified that (he price
list committee met in executive ses
sion in conjunction with the regular
serai-annual gathering of the associa
tion, and that last year this commit
tee reported that lumber was being
cut faster than it was being shipped;
that a large surplus resulted and that
so long as the surplus should con
tinue "staple or advancing values
world be impossible. A way must
,be found, the committee said, to re
duce the surplus and keep the supply
in proportion to the demand. When
testifying to the above facts Secretary
Smith had the minutes of the meet
ing before him and he could not be
mistaken about the matter.
Secretary Smith went on to say
that it was thought advisable to rec
ommend to all manufacturers a re
duction of 33 1-3 per cent in output
of all saw mills until such time as the
demand should more nearly absorb
the supply. He said notices were
sent to all members to reduce their
output for 90 days and that again
before the expiration of the 90 days
period, he sent a notice that curtail
ment Bhould continue for 90 days
longer. If the organization that fixed
the price of lumber was not a trust,
we would like to know whr.-e it got
its power to fix prices? It certainly
did everything that trusts usually do
to restrain trade, whatever name it
might call itself by.
What Makes the Difference.
When Russians want to indulge in
the cruel sport of Jew baiting, which
is quite often, they can always find
an excuse to stir up evil passions by
sproading a false story to the effect
that Jews have murdered a Christian
iboy and offered him up for a sacri
fice. In Russia among the orthodox
I ignorance, superstition and devotion
go together and as a consequence
they are always to rob and kill the
Jews.
What a contrast to such treatment
is that acoorded the Jew in this coun
try. It is because the people are in
telligent and, as a matter of course,
their religion, both of belief and life,
reflect that intelligence and corres
ponds far more nearly to the teach
ings and acts of the Nazarene, who
hated narrowness and bigotry ana
commanded his followers to show
love to their fellowmen. To be sure,
even in America there Is not absolute
freedom of prejudice against the
Jews. Now and again in so-called
high society and in clubdom there
is an ogensive snobbishness, but that
spirit does not characterize people
generally.
And the Jews are quick to recog
nize the difference and to show their
appreciation. The other day one of
the wealthiest Jews in Chicago, a
leading merchant, offered $50,000
toward the erection of a Y. M. C. A.
building, and in so doing was but
duplicating a former gift for the
same purpose. In his address he
spoke eloquently and feelingly of the
work of the Y. M. C. A. Such true
cathollty of spirit, reflecting the same
spirit which the Y. M. C. A. and
other institutions display towards all
races and religons shows how great
ly the spirit of brotherhood and of
true religion is spreading throughout
the lands.
Will Try New Plan.
Everybody recognizes the evil of
the depletion of the country districts.
Political economists have pointed out
the bad economic and social results
that follow this loss of population,
and plans and sug -stions of all
kinds have been made to remedy it.
So far these efforts have had but
indifferent success or no success.at
all. for the drift citywards goes on
with undiminished force. Neverthe
less this failure hitherto does not
mean that failure will always fol
low. The way out will be discovered
in time and the flow be towards the
land even as it is now from it. Only
by experimentation can the solution
be found. For this reason every well
considered proposition should be fav
orably received and thoroughly test
ed. The plan that Minnesota is about
to try with community schools thor
oughly equipped and with able in
structors who will make a specialty
of giving instruction in manual train
ing, home economics and agriculture,
may or may not bring about the de
sired end, but it has many points in
its favor and its operation will be
watched with keen interest by all
who seek the welfare and repopula
tion of rural communities.
For His Country's Good.
Ex-President Diaz's withdrawal
from Mexico is, in the circumstances,
both prudent and patriotic. It is an
act of good faith to the new Govern
ment, which is thus left free to es
tablish itself unembarrassed by influ
ences which his presence as the rep
resentative of the old regime would
inevitably foster. As some paper puts
it Diaz belongs to a past era in the
republic's development. His work is
done. There is no need for him un
der the new order of things, and his
departure should expedite the exist
ing Government's task of confirming
its authority by harmonizing conflict
ing party interests. By going vol
untarily into exile he takes the best
possible means of assuring his event
ual return or recall with public hon
ors. Whether he saw it that way or
not we do not know, but In leaving
Mexico Diaz did the very best thing
he could do for the welfare of his
country and himself.

we say, "We have it now."
