In voting for tbe recall of judges by a large majority, California re pudiated Taft as au enemy of the people. ?if. Woodrow Wilson is a radical, and that is why -he is going to succeed Taft. All reforms are brought about by radicals, and the people want re forms. California has voted in favor of the recall of judges and all other officials by a large majority. This law will be eventually adopted by all the states, 6impiy because it is a good law. There wir. be some lone; editorial sermons preached on the Honea Path lynching, but they will do no good, j The very next time a. f ieni forgets himself he will be strung up, just like Jackson. Governor Woodrow Wilson may talk too much to please his critics, but there is no denyiDg the fact that when he does talk he knows what he is talking about. He -is no respector of bosses, and hits Democrat as well as Republican. A staff correspondent of the New York World, who is traveling with President Taft, writes from Hastings, Nebraska, to his papeir that "the general opinion among Republicans is that the state is ready to go Dem ocratic next year, if Woodrow Wil son is the candidate." Woodrow Wilson does not put his trust in political bosses, but in the people . He says he is for a'nything that will give them direct control of their own affairs. Yet tbere are many who call themselves Democrats who are oposed to the people calling down a corrupt judge. If is stated that Governor Please is absolutely opposed to the recall of judges. Is the governor among those who are afraid of the "caprice of the majority?" He should be the last man in the "State to take such a posi tion as that, because the "caprice of the majority" elected him Governor, and he should be willing to trust the people. The "Tillmanite" who wrote to the Augusta Herald that Blease will be re-elected governor, later on sent to tbe United States Senate, and that "we are going to draw the lines again and fill every office from coroner to United States senator with true blue Tillmanites," will not be such an en thusiastic Blease man probably when he hears that tbe governor accuses Senator Tillman of telling falsehoods. The Newberry Observer says:"" 'df Governor Blease wants to get even with the editors, let him advocate a law to prohibit the railroads from is suinr free passes to them. That will be a solar plexus, if he can just get the bill through." At the sametime he would bring joy to the hearts of two of his most bitter editor opon ents .In the State, who use to ride on fr^e passes, but who have re formed. Strikes and lockouts are out of place in this twentieth century. It ought to be possible for the states man and sociologist of the present time to evolve some pacific and effec tive method of dealing with labor troubles. As it is. not only do work men suffer privation and employers loss of business in every dispute but the public too often gets ground be tween the upper and nether mill stones of capital and labor. The good bock says that, "the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth." which is an emphatic if not euphem istic way of saying that there are lots of people who always believe that things are better somewhere else. 'Such people are ever ready to glorify some other town at the ex pense of their own. Their home town they love to run down; they find fault if progress is made and they do the same when it is not made. The mother of the fiend that was lynched at Honea Path Tuesday night refused to receive his body because of the horrible crime he had commit ted, and the respectable colored peo ple of the community refused to have it buried in their cemetery for the same reason. If all fiends of the Jackson stripe were treated as he was by the better class of colored people, it would make such crimes as Jackson was put to death for more rare. An ordinance has been introduced in the city council of Atlanta making it an offense to ap ply any form of corporal pun ishment in the schools of that city. \\ e have long since believed that corporal punishment does very little good as a corrective either in the home or the school, and for that v&son we have practically raised -.hree boys withcut tha use of the rod, notwithstanding King Solomon's ad D.ouition as to :.ts po-.c-ncy. * Trying the Same Game. The Wall Street crowd will try to work the same game on the Demo crats in the next Presidential election that they did when they pretended to desire Mr. Parker's election over Mr. Roosevelt. They spoke well of Mr. Parker and abused Roosevelt, until after the two nominations were made and then they come ovt and threw their influence for Roosevelt, furnish ing all the money he reeded to fin ance the campaign. That they will try to work the same gc.me next year is now beginning to crop out. But it Will not succeed. Recently a dispatch was sent out from Washington in which it was asked "will Wall Street withdraw its powerful financial, industrial and commercial influence from the Taft re-election .boom?" The dispatch then goes on to say "that is a question that has been agitating the Taft political boomers for months past. There is fear that the financiers will forsake the president, owing to the activity of the administration in its anti-trust campaign." It is further stated that no feelers have been put out by the Taft forces in this respect yet. Then it is further alleged in the dispatch that retaliation on the pres ent administration by Wall Street is looked for by a number of politi cians in the Democratic party as well as in the Republican party. Resent ment against the anti trust zeal of Attorney General Wickersham has been at a high pitch for a long time. Wickersham, they say, has been per sistent in his warfare against what President Taft has termed "bad trusts." Other trusts that were not so designated were brought to the attention^ of the department of jus lice and either suffered through pros ecution, or were dissolved or com pletely put out of business. This is said to have engendered a spirit of unrest and Wall Street pre pared to bluff out the president and his attorney general. Wall Street did not succeed and the American Tobacco and Standard Oil company were proceeded against. This brought the whole matter to a climax. The administration hit two powerful con corns as well as a group of very powerful financers. It is now a ques tion of supporting a Democratic pres idential nominee or getting a private word from the administration that trust busting and corporation dises tablishment will be discontined as an official pasttime. This bait for the Democrats is now brought out and dangled before their eyes, as will be seen by what follows. It is reported, says the dispatch, that the interests represented in Wall Street, .believe they have no hope In the Republican party, and that if they should unload Taft it would nominate only some other Republi can even less satisfactory to business. Therefore the Democrats would ap pear to be the only party which af fords a reasonable chance of taking the more moderate view of the rela tion of the government to big corpor ations. The next paragraph shows how they expect to get the Demo crats to take the bait. It is claimed that according to the gossip in political centers, the prob ability is that Wall Street will drop Taft. According to one of the mem bers of a certain political following Wall Street is now seriously contem plating what its move will be in this direction. The president's addresses cn his western trip will be followed closely as well as the activities ol Attorney General Wickersham this fall. This condition of affairs has started tongues wagging, and the opinion seems to be that Harmon will get Wall Street to support Taft is repudiated. The Democrats, as we said above were fooled once by Wall Street, but they will not allow themselves to be fooled again. Wall Street wants Har mon nominated by the Democrats, but it has no idea of supporting him if he is nominated. Wall Street is well satisfied with Taft and his way of trust busting. Wall Street knows that the trusts never had a better friend or more pliant tool in the white house than Taft, and the talk about his being opposed by Wall Street is a subtefuge to fool the Dem ocrats and the people, but tho scheme will not work this time. Orangr.burg and That Invitation. j The report that Orangeburg had invited the Confederate Veterans of the State to hold their next reunion here was a mistake, as we intimated it was. The Orangeburg Confederate Camp of Veterans attended the late reunion at Columbia in a body, but 11hey did not extend an invitation on 'the part of their camp nor of the city for the veterans to hold their Ireunion in Miis city next year. It is all true that a man from this city who is not a veteran called out one day In the meeting that the veterans must meet next year in Orangebip-g, but he represented no one but him self, and little or no attention was I paid to what he said by the Oran.'c | burg veterans who were present. Xo place in the South holds the Confed erate Veterans in higher esteem than Orangeburg, and no place would feel j more highly honored in entertaining I them than Orangeburg, the only trou ble being our lack of resources to entertain them as we think they should be entertained. However, the i veterans may rest assured that Or i augeburj! will never shut her doors in their face, and if they are not in vited to meet at some place wh.r they could get better entertainment I than we may be able to give them, j they will be doubly welcome to meet : at Orangeburg next year. Wrong Way to Boost. The booster train that was run by some of the business men of Rich mond through Xorth Carolina seems to have done the city it went out to boost more harm than good. It has been roundly roasted by many of the grcd people of the Old North State, end justly so. It seems that in the baggage coach ahead representatives of Rich moid whiskey houses had sample bot tles of ' fire water" which they threw out at every town in which the train stopped, with the resu't that the whole thing became dispusting to a I very large number of people. Spea.k ;Eg of the stop f.i the train in Mon i roe the Enquirer says: "The giving a*vay of liquor to a labble who scrambled for it like pigs ever a slop through was not in keep ing with the advance advertising of the affair, and while the givin.; away of liquor and distributing liquor liter ature was not all there was to t, here was so much of it that it made the whole thing a pretty tolerable sorry affair."
