The Democra- s and Insurgent Re
publicans have ' -tit President Taft, in
a deep hole, by passing the wool bill.
Should he veto that and other bills
reducing the t?r,ffs on many neces
artes, !he will convert the hole n
Ms politcal gra> 3.
According to o.Ticials who have ex
amined the wre >W of the Maine, sunk
?!n Havana harbor, the battleship was
blown up by an explosion on the out
side and undei -.he hull. We have
never believed that the ship was
blown up in a? y other way.
Railroad Co .i nissioner Richards
has already slkd his castor in the
political ring and the indications are
that he is ben.j groomed to walk
Gow. Blease's jolitical log next year.
If he attempts it there is going to be
a red hot fign:, with the result, in
our opinion, d< ubtful.
'"We would s..y that Kentucky poli
tics- are warming up, if we judge by
the Louisville >>urier-Journal, which
speaks of "O'Rea and Iris fanatical
crew of offlci-sieeking potwallopers
and self-annoi ried Saii-ts!" O'Rear
is the Republi .-an candidate for Gov
ernr, and a gfod man.
The reference of the Reciprocity
pact by the Cuiadian government to
the people of that country for solu
tion ought tc strengthen the lhands
of the advoca:es of the iniative, ref
erendum and recall in this boasted
land of the 't rave and home of the
free. Canada In possession f a kiing,
but the people rule all the same.
Suppose Canada was parted from
the United 3r.ates by a mountain
Tange, would anyone oppose the con
struction of tunnels? Mr. Bryau
pays those t'jo oppose a reduc
tion of the tariff oppose tunnelling
of an artificia I mountain range which
legislators in their folly, reared be
tween us and o ir northern neighbors.
We agree vrith the Spartanburg
Journal that President Taft will
have his net vi> with him, If he ve
toes a bill re hieing the cost of living
by lowering the wool tariff duties,
which he hiimelf has denounced as
"indefensible "" If he des The Jour
nal things tl at will be the last ever
hercrd of Mr Taft in American pub
lic lite.
Over here in the United States
wfbere the p jople are said to be su
preme, the R Hiiprocity pact, with Can
ada was decrded on fn a secret cau
cus of the Democratic members of
Congress, v hile in Canada, where
the people a *e the subject of a king,
thej are called on to say at the bal
lot box by "hudr votes whether they
?want the reciprocity pact or not.
"Which is th j most Democratic coun
try? i
Mr. Brya i holds that a secret cau
cus of Con rressmen is undemocrat
ic and adnt erous. He says "the se
cret ballot i; ??ill riirht for the individ
ual but not 'or the legislator. The e
cret ballot protects the individual in
his right t? vote as he pleases be
cause he i c:s for himself. But a
Congressmi n does not act for him
self?he ac is for others." As usual
Mr. Bryan s on the side of the peo
ple and tht refore right.
Congress nan Hull, of Tennessee,
in discuss! jg tariff revision in the
House, wh: ch of course, he favors, as
all good D niocrats should, predicted
that with Republican promises for
re-sloraton of prttection rates,
Oi^re will be the greatest fat frying
next year 'n the history of the coun
try. He s.-.ys Republican promises to
re-raise th i tariff, if restored to pow
er will ai ain be made a pawn for
millions to buy the American elect
orate if possible.
The so-'ailed tariff board is noth
ing more than a political hypocrisy,
desimed o delay tariff revision as
demanded by the people and the
Democrat: are right in not paying
any attertion to it. As Congress
man Hull said in a speech advocat
ing tariff revision, former President
Roosevelt stayed the tariff storm by
"Orowin;. firebrands into the air. so
that the people would not notice
ibose fal iiig on their heads." But
the people can't be fooled much
longer.
The Columbia Record seems to
think that the organization of a
strong R spublican party in the South
would hi vc? the effect of solving the
raco question. We beljve it would
have jus the opposite effect. White
people iroing into a Republican party
In the S >v.th would go into it for a
-purpose, and the purpose could only
*>e acco unlished by carrying the
electins and the elections could
only le carried by the
"built of the negroes voting the Re
publican ticket, which they would do
If they : ot a chance, and the white
"Republicans would do all they could
to give ? hem that chance.
Turn in the Cotton Crop.
The cotton crop, says the Weekly
Augusta Chronicle, is now in the
uncertain period. Bulls and bears
are making it up to suit their own
purpose and millions are beng fleec
ed from one side or the other while
nature goes on with its unswerving
plans. The cotton crop of tho South
has ^unquestionably been up to the
t?p-notch during the past two months
but now it is. beginning to sh ? w yel-1
low- leaf and the first bolls are open
ing, betokening the end of the grow
ing season. All arguments of bulls
and bears will not affect the nation's
output and in the end the price will
be governed by the supply and the de
mand. It is perhaps an inexorably
hard thing that supply and demand
should govern things in general, for
there are some people who believe
that supply should be limiteu to de
mand and others who are of the op
ion that demand should equal sup
ply year after year, not only in cot
ton, of course, but in all things.
The farmers, however, should be
virtualy masters of the situation in
cotton. .They should tiffing them
selves to realze that farmr.g is an
occupation that is just as independ
ent and as much a business proposi
tion as anything else. You cannot
get a s-upply man to furnish the ma
terial for less than it cost him. Con
sequently why should anyo:;e ask a
farmer to supply his products for less
than they cost, especially if he be a
good farmer and grows his crops
along the Tight plans.
If sysem was nstalled in farm
I ing just as it is in many business
enterprises today it would show a
vast difference in the result to the
South. The land of the farmer is
valued too cheaply in the South and
if it were up to the high figures of the
Middle West there would be a big
balance on the wrong side of the led
ger. And did you ever stop to figure
too, that if the right kind o\ farming
is followed in the South the ultimate
result will be as good as tha any
where?
It is only where the wrong kind of
agriculture is pursued that the wrong
kind of results are obtained. If you
diversify and plant the crops needed
at home you will be in position to
withstand any kind of weather, so
to speak, that may come your way.
But the great lesson to be borne in
mind is that farmers throughout the
cotton belt are the ones whom the
world has to depend for clothing and
they should receive a proper price for
it or hold on until it is paid.
Admitting that the country does
make a good cotton crop this season
there is no reason why the crop
should be sold cheaply, for the mar
kets of the world have been depleted
and the supplies exhausted . It
may he years again before another
big crop is made and if that be the
case it will be a good idea to store up
some for the next season and don't
go downward, for it is cheauer to do
that than it is to sell it at a price be
low the cost of growing it. It wilt
certainly be better to do that than
to go ahead';and raise an expensive
crop next year. Just simply save
some for the nexxt season and don't
pay any attention to the demands
made at low prices. (
There's another phase to the situa
tion too now that is the real results
of the crop. While it must be ad
mitted that crops have turned out
well to date the critical time is just
at hand and the latter part of July
vastly different tale when the plck
and the month of Angiuet may tell a
ing is finished and the ginning is
over.
Cholera Will Be Stopped.
The cholera situation is well in
hand at New York, and there is no
cat- e for people to become alarmed
about the spread of the disease. No
new cases have occurred in several
days and those under treatment are
doing as well as could be expected.
Of course wherever thc.^e is disease
there is danger, but that is true of
other diseases besides cholera.
The best personal safeguard
against cholera, and for that matter
against most diseases cleanliness,
igood habits, c re of diet and absence
of fear. Perhaps there is nothing
more calculated to make a person
fall a victim to disease than fear,
and when the community gives way
it an outbreak of cholpra or plague
there is usually a great havest of
death.
It ought to reassure everyone that
sanitation and medical science have
made such progress in recent years
that in civilized countries yellow fev
ed to those cases. With these facts so
tirely stamped out, and that, if per
chance, a case or two occurs the
outbreak is almost invariably con fin
en t those cases. Wth these facts so
patent and with the strict quarantin
ing of ships coming from suspected
European port the ofncser in New
York will with out doubt, control the
situation.
Menace to Liberty.
Something over one hundred years
ago our forefathers would not bend
to the arbitrary rule of George the
Third, and the present day sons of
those fathers have to see to it that
they will not submit to another yoke,
which though different in iharacter
will be none the less galling and of
fensive. That possible yoke lurks
in the control of well nisrh fabulous
wealth by few individuals. Such
ionrentrated power is a menace to
government and to real liberty. To
be sure the people generalh* nnd
some legislatures art? awakenin:? to
that fact and it is also true that
something has already been done to
curb these gigantic monopolies. But
still more needs to 1 ?? done in order
that the true interests of the nation
may be safeguarded. That this will
eventually come about is beyond
question, but the struggle will be
hard and keen, and the longer it is
put off the more difficult will be its
accomplishment.
We don't blame Gov. Blease for
not wanting to open up the campaign
more than a year In advance of the
election. A few cxonths campaign
is plenty long enough for all practi
cal purposes.
