That Seattle woman who horse whipped a judge must believe that a horseiwhip is more effective than the recall. Nothing is more pitiful than a life that is so wrapt up in itself that it gives no thought to the welfare of others. Moral heroism is often greatest of Which the world says the least and which is exercised in the humblest spheres. ' Rome people. are just ignorant enough to realize their ignorance and stfnie are so ignorant that they don't even know it. bet's see. Wasn't there a 'fake trust buster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt who use to bluster a good deal, Wonder what has become of him? Elections take place today in a number of states.. We hope the De mocracy will not only hold its own, but will make great gains in all of them. The report that Wall Street is op posed to the re-election of Taft is the most absurd thing imaginable. Big Bill- is too- pliant a tool of the Trust for Wall Street to fight htm. We hope that the election irf Char leston today will result in the eleva tion of Major Hyde to the mayorality of the old city. ? He is by far the best man running for the position. -After today we predict that Col. J. P. Grace, who aspires to the mayoral ty of Charleston, will go way back and sit down. Major Hyde will be the choice of the people of the old citj .?President Taft will find it hard work- to get the endorsement of the Republican National Convention for President again, and he will .find it 8til> harder work to get re-elected should h? be renominated. ' .."VKoodrow Wilson seems to be strong-everywhere as the Democratic candidate for President, and if it was not for the two thirds rule in the National Democratic Convention he would be nominated on the first bal lot. .All taie farnuard have to do is to pull together under the plan pro posed by -the Farmers' Union and the price of cotton will go up as if by (magic. The whole matter is in the hands of the men who make the cot ton. ?Bryan is for Woodrow Wilson as the. Democratic candidate for Presi dent At least we infer sc from read ing the Commoner, which reflects1 Bryan's views on the matter. Bryan can always be counted on to support the best man. That spirit which says let the next generation look out for Itself and we will look after number one savors strongly of selfishness. If our ances tors .had pursued that policy we would today be minus many of the blessings we enjoy. The Times and Democrat is with the farmers first, last and all the time far a fair price for cotton. It is ready to cooperate with the Far mers Union to that end. The present price of cotton is not much if any more than the cost of production, and it should be pushed up. By prosecuting the Steel Trust! President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham hope to head the com mittee appointed by the Democratic House to investigate that biggest of all trusts. They are afraid that the Democratic committee's real in vestigation would expose the unlaw ful acts of that huge corporation, while their fake prosecution will shield it from exposure. There was a time when if a man pleaded that he was intoxicated when he committed a crime he was usually acquitted or got off with a nominal sentence. It is getting to be differ ent now. For a man to show that he was drunk is no longer accepted as a palliation, rather it is regarded as an aggravation of the offence. All of which goes to show both Che growth of temperance sentimein and a saner view of justice. What may be the result of the gov ernment suit against the Steel Trust no one can tell. But it is significant and not altogether convincing that no criminal action has been taken against the members of the trust, which probably explains the fact that no one attempted to evade service. I! :s safe to say that if a criminal suit ' 'A been instituted there would have 1 - n some scurrying to get out of the y.uy of deputies. Taft Given the Cold Hand. That despairing wail at Chicago was a clear indication that President Taft was not pleased with the result of his trip out west, from which he had just returned when he admitted in a speech at Chicago that the Re publican party might be defeated in the next presidential election. As a matter of fact the President had been given the cold hand wherever he went, and he felt 'bad about it. Take California* for instance. It is admitted by Republicans themselves that in her recent election California administered the most Impressive re buke ever received by a Republican President from a Republican State, when that State voted as it did on the initiative, referendum and recall, the latter Including the judiciary. Vice President Sherman in com menting on the President and-the California incident, is quoted as say ing that he felt that the adoption by California of the newer ideas, such as the recall, at the very moment the President was out on the coast, Indi cated that the Republicans may look for trouble In the next campaign. "We have felt and hoped," said he, "that California wlas solidly for Pres ident Taft and all of his ideas, and this recent election gives us a new light. President Taft's message up on the recall will be found to be one of the great state papers of our gov ! ernment. It will stand as a master piece in statesmanship, and the prin ciples enunciated therein will be found as time passes on, to be as sound as any ever given to the people. That his ideas were not accepted by the people of California shows mark ed disaffection, which I think all reg ular Republicans will deeply regret. Governor Johnson, of California, took direct issue with Mr. Taft, who alluded to the recall of judges as the law of tie mob. In his speeches Johnson asked "who are the mob? That's the question I've been asking all along the line, and chat's what I can't find out. Mob indeed; we are all the mob.^ As used by our Presi dent it means a great division of the electorate that is not fit to govern; that is fit to be ruled <by another smaller class, a governing class. If we've reached that condition we've reached a crisis in the history of free government. But we've^not reached it and that sort of talk arises from in dividual egotism and is a survival of traditions from the old days when you had to crawl before power. The very first requisite of the recall Is that it touches not only the govern or and the legislator but the judici ary as well and makes this judiciary responsive to the people. "I reverence and respect the courts just so long as they deserve respect and reverence., and no longer, and that's the only kind of respect that can be paid any man in our govern ment. When you create a class to govern in this country just that in stant you violate a fundamental prin ciple on which we founded this gov ernment and you strike a blow at lib erty itself. It's a survival of the old worship of power. The rabble and the mob! We're all the rabble and the mob in this country, and the pres ent design of the government of this state is that you shail all participate in it." That is the way the* Republi can Governor of California talked with the Republican President In the State feeling the political pulse. That was not all. As soon as the people of California got a chance at the bal lot box they endorsed what their gov ernor had said by adopting the re call by a vote of over three to one. After this direct slap In the face by the Republican State of California, do you wonder that the President feels shaky on his political legs and 6ees defeat staring him in the face? The Recall W'orks Well. It is claimed by some that the adoption of the recall would have a most disastrous effect on the judges and the stability of the courts. We do not see it that'way. As the San Francisco Bulletin says this amend ment would give the people power to revoke the commissions of elective judges who had proved themselves incompetent or corrupt. The special interests object to the people assum ing such power. When they get a ?tool or a prejudiced friend on the bench they would have such judges insured agrainst removal. The peo ple want a square deal. The exper ience of Oregon, where the recall has ?been in operation four years, but has never been invoked against a judicial officer demonstrates that only a wide spread belief in a judge's dishonesty would bring about the summary rev ocation of his commission, but the special interests and the slaves of tra dition who are helping them in their fight still profess to believe that the people are n?t to be instructed with ?the responsibility of deciding whether elective judicial officers are fit or un fit to wield the power which has been intrusted to them by the votes of their fellow-citizens. Plainly the special interests want more than a square deal. One Day Long Enough. The suggestion that presidential inauguration ceremonies should last a week is likely to meet with scant fav or. The motives for the suggestion are either mercenary or unpatriotic. With the business men of Washing ton the idea is financial as they would doubtless reap a big pecuniary 'har vest by its adoption. Then, there is a class in this country that is gener ally attracted by the old world pomp and pageantry and to that class an aping of coronation and court cere monies, as such an inauguration as proposed would surely be, would be very gratifying. But fortunately, the suggestion is never likely to be seriously considered. As a matter of fact, instead of introducing more ceremonies at great public functions like inaugurations ot presidents and goverm'here is probably a general feeling that there has already been too great a departure from that dem ocratic simplicity which should al ways mark republican institutions. And in truth there is far mors digni ty *amd Impressiveness In a fitting simplicity than in an overloaded pomp and costuming of elaborate functions such as an old world coro nation.
