As usual after every election the politicians are busy explaining why 6ome things happenoi and other things did not. It is not necessary to eat the whole 1 of a tainted joint of meat to know j that it Is tainted. Neither is it neces-1 sary to be familiar with all kinds of iniquity to know how bad It is. Tho ~- Imperative need is to get rid of It. j Thrift Is usually a most excellent ?faality, but no man has a right to ex?rcliio it along the line of neglect iifc his children's education and prap? ttration for future life. Thrift of that Character is a curao. ' Just as tho eoucttlsBs rajs 'of light come from one central sun. and the countless rain drops from some groat sea, so the oountloss rays and drops of goodness which bless this world come from som? ersonal honor, break hie word and betray his friends no mat ter what the rsward. The State does not know Roosevelt. He is ono man that would allow nothing to stand fn the way of his ambition to be Pres ident-of the United States again. His whole life is ample proof of this. | The resignation of Arthur J. Bal tnur as the loader of tho conservative party in Great Britain waa not unex pected. In spite of his brilliant gift* he has, through no fault of his own, not been a successful loader. Three times he has led his party to defeat at the polls, and the party itself is so shaken with Internal discord that no man can successfully lead it. Romar Law, the man chosen to succeed him, will flnjd the position no sinecure. The war in Tripoli and the revolu tion in China. In the barbarities that are taking place, recall General Sher man's familiar phrase that "war ia hell." Among really civilized nationa the horrors of war are to some ex tent mitigated by the humanity shown to prisoners and wounaed, but when the passions run wild and en mity is Intensified by religious fanati cism there are no alleviating circum stances. From this distance it looks as If the killing of Policeman Patterson In the streets of Aiken by James Seigler was murdor, pure aud simple. It re mains to be seen what an Aiken jury will do about it. In the meantime we would commend the action of two Orangcburg juries in protesting against tho wholesale killing going on in our State by convicting two wihite men for killing white men and sending them to the peltentiary for their crime. Italy seems to be having her hands full In Tripoli and but small sym pathy will be given her by other pow ers. As a matter of fact, In spite of all tho sentimental talk about the Cross displacing the Crescent, and the opportunities that will now be open for Christian work, the seizure of Tripoli was not made In the in terests of humanity and religion, but as a part of the vicious system of grab to which most of the great pow ers aro Indicted. The Rev. John Haynes Holme*, pastor of the Unitarian Church of the Messiah in New York, must be all sorts of an ass. At a recent, meet ing of the National Association for tho Advancement of the Colored Peo ple, he said, "The time has come when the North must do its duty and save the South again. The negro now more than ever is entitled to his freedom, and a battle for liberty must be fought over again." Holmes is evidently a rare specimen. He should r ? caged and exhibited for the ben c'C of lunatic asylums. I History Will Bepeas Itself. The Hon. James Smith, Jr., bos* of Essex County, New Jersey, at the recent election in that State, tried to kill off Woodrow Wilson by sending a Republican delegation to the legis lature from his county, thus giving the Republicans a majority in that body. Smith was sent to the United Staites Senate some year* ago, when New Jersey was knowD as the mother of trusts. The trusts took up the Republican party, and Smith having labelled himEelf a Democrat, the trusts refused to continue him in the Senate, so. he became the Democratic boss of the State, and helped the Re publicans elect trust men to the Sen ate. Smith mada the Democrats of New Jersey an annex to the Republican ! trust machine of the State, for which he was well paid as a sugar trust at torney. This was the status of poli tics, when Woodrow Wilson came along and swept the State into the Democratic volnmn. To the great surpriee of Smith the Democrats car ried the legislature when they elected Wilson governor. Then Smith want ed to be elected to the United States Senate, but Wilson said nay, and in tisted that Martine, a. real true blue Democrat, be elected to the Senate, which the legislature did when it met. Then Smith and his henchmen de ;termined to do Wilson and the real j Democratic party all the harm they could. Their first chance came in the recent election. He determined to throw his influence to the Republican party and help them elect their can didates to the legislature, and thus enable the Republicans to capture that body. The defeat of the Demo cratic candidates is recognized as a Smith victory. By giving his infiu? ence to the Republicans, he has robbed Go von or Wilson of tho sup port of a Democratic legislature, hut otherwise the result did not hurt Gov ernor Wilson. "But," as the Spartanburg Herald says, "Smith will be fortunate if his 'triumph' deeii not provt a boom erang. The people know more about Now Jersey politics in tho past year than they had learned sine* the civil1 war, and the people ex* doing ?. little thinking for themselves, as the re cent elections show. Smith's reputed object is to prevent Wilson from se curing th* nomination for the presi dency next year If possible, his first step being-ian effort to prevent the New Jersey delegation from support ling him, and to make the Impression I that Wilson is discredited at home. "In 1892 David B. Hill, bosB of New York, decreed that Grover Cleveland should not have the great strength of Now York's delegation in the Democratic convention. He succeed ed In preventing Cleveland's own State from supporting h'm in the con vention. But Cleveland got the nom ination without New York's assist ance, largely because of Hill's action. It 1b by no means impossible for Woodrow Wilson to get the nomina tion without New Jersey's support, if that delegation is dominated by Smith. Smith's opposition is fine support for all that Is honest and up right in politics." Results Point to Harmon. If the next Democratic Presidential candidate is to be chosen by the re sults of the late election in the sev jeral States the choice would undoubt jedly fall on Governor Harmon of j Ohio, as he certainly mor* than held I his own. In addition to the Demo cratic victories in ColumbuB, Cleve? land and Cincinnati, the three largest cities In Ohio, another very significant index of the public pulse in that State is the result of the election just held for delegates to a Constitutional Convention, which is soon to meet. These delegates were elected from the same legislative districts as were the members of the Lower House of Ohio's General Assembly were elected last year, when Harmon was elected Governor for the second time. Last year the Democrats for the first time In twenty-one years carried the House of Representatives. The respective party Btrength in that booy as re turned by that election was as fol lows: Democrats.69 Republicans.49 Independents. I The respective party strength in the new Constitutional Convention as elected two weeks ago is as follows: Democrats.70 Republicans.45 Independents. 4 This shows that Ohio Democracy has made even a better showing in 1911 than the unprecedented victory of 1910. This result is pretry tough on President Taft, as it indicates that 'Ohio is ready to transfer her prefer ence for President from him to Gov ernor Harmon. That the result of the election in Ohio strengthens Gov Jornor Harmon for the Democratic j nomination is undoubtedly true no impartial observer will deny. His ability to hold Ohio in line for next year can hardly be doubted in the face of what he has already done in his native State. Should he be nominated. Ohio is certain for the Democratic column. To the grea for years to come. We are for Wil> ?on as the Democratic candidate for President, but at the same time we are free to confess that Governor Harmon would make a strong candi date all over the country. He has to bo reckoned with. Taft is a Dead Duck. About the only thing that the late election definitely settled is that President Taft will be defeated should he again he nominated for the Pres idency by the Republicans1. Cincin nati, where he lives when he is at borne, repudiated him by electing a Democratic city government from top to bottom, and his Slate, Ohio, has declared her opposition to him by electing seventy Democrats to forty five Republicans to the Constitutional Convention, which assemble;; soon. Looked at from a party sta.lpoint the resultB of the elections produce mixed feelings In both great parties. De feat in so? secticn, and consequent gloom. Is offset by success in some other section, and corresponding en-' couragement. Still, one thing stands out clearly, which is that within and without party ranks the independent voter is coming more and more to the front. This does not necessarily mean an actual lessening of party loy alty or of the party system. But it does mean that voters think more than they used to and that with a higher moral sense they demand not only able men but able men of clean life and superiority to boss dictation and political temptations. And mat way lies the permanence of popular institutions and representative gov ernment.
