There is some talk of the Hon. C. C. Featherstone opposing Gov. An sel this summer. If he does Ansel will have to hustle. Why not make the lien" law an is sue in the cam^aig-n this Summer, und find out exactly what the peo ple want done with it. Mr. Bryan believes in the integri ty of the common people and that is why he is williEg to trust them to elect United States Senators and all others. The tariff that protects and fosters the trusts may not have caused the panic, but it certainly did not pre serve prosperity as our Republican friends declared it would. The boom launched up there in Pennslyvania somewhere for Judge Gray will never get beyond the con fines of the section in which it was put afloat. It died aborning. Many prominent Democrats as well as Republicans in Washington believe that Bryan and Taft will be the nominees of the two big parties and that Bryan will beat Taft at the polls. Two more circuits have been cre ated to relieve the congested condi tion of our courts. Will it do it? Not unless the present method of dis patching business by the courts is changed. Teddy says he has not been "fix ing", appointments to office to help along the Taft presidential boom. This may be true so far as Teddy is concerned, but how about his "wick ed underlings? The Republican party which used to boast that it "did things" has been considering in congress the question of emergency currency for ? nearly three months and has not ar rived at a conclusion. J The Representatives from the i Phillippines can now sit in Congress! and draw salaries, but cannot vote, bot the> Sugar Trust and the Tobac co trust have lots of votes there that will pravent the Filipinos getting their just dues. Col. John C. Haskell wants the Democratic party to surrender to the money power of the North and nominate a candidate like Judge Gray, who will be acceptable to it. We assure the Colonel the Democrat ic party is net quite ready to com mit suicide. There were during January com mercial failures aggregating $57, f' 639,514 while for the same month last yearathe amount was $13,638, 126. This evidence of Republican "prosperity" would indicate that al though the tariff protects the trusts it does not help general business. The Newberry Observer says "it is sincerely to be hoped that every man, high or low, who has been guilty of grafting in connection with the state dispensary will be exposed and called to account before the courts as well as before the bar of public opinion." To which we most heartily s*y amen. Mr. Bryan spoke at Jersey City, N- and referring to his meeting an Associated Press dispatch says-' "An enthusiastic reception was ac corded William T. Bryan at the Ma jestic theatre this afternoon.* He was introduced as 'the next presi dent? of the United States, which evoked applause from the large audience." After pointing out that a presi dential victory for the Democrats would still leave the Republicans in absolute control of the Senate, the administration organs tell us that so many men arc out of work because a fear of Democratic revision of the sacred Dingley tariff. The ad ministration editorial force ought to get together. Agrees With Bryan. The Charleston Post says those who advocate the election of United States Senators by direct popular vote will find g^od argument in fa vor of their position in the Kentucky Legislature's deadlock, over the choice of a senator. The Legisla ture has been in session for a month and the term of its sitting is half over; a ballot has been taken every day for Senator, and no choice has yet been made, the rela tive positions of ex-Gov. Beckham, the nominee of the Democratic pri mary, and of Ex-Gov, Bradley, the Republican candidate, being un changed at the end of the month's contest; only one measure has been enacted into law, that providing a stenographer for the governor, though important legistion is desir ed by the people of the State, affect ing their material innterests. The whole time of the session has been given to political play, and that without any result, and the end is not yet. The deadlock seems to be complete and it is not impossible that the Legislature will adjourn without making any choice of a Sen ator and without accomplishing any thing of the people's business for which it was elected, If Senators were elected by direct popular vote that condition would be impossible. It is impossible now in many States---South Carolina, for exam ple? in which the primary system of nominations is the established or der in politics, the choice of the pri mary being, in effect, an election by popular vote. In Kentucky the Democrats submitted the Senator ship to a general primary and Gov, Beckham was nominated by the par ty at the polls, but the nomination has not been accepted as binding by some of the Democratic members oi the Legislature, who hold that Mr. Beckham employed methods to ad vance his own interest which have brought injury to the party. While election of a Republican Governor gives support to their contentions yet the light of the primary system as it is accepted in South Carolina and some other States, the argument is spacious, and undoubtedly a danger ous precedent is established by their attitude, which may arise to plague them in future. Gov. Beckman may not be the ideal Senator for Kentuc ky but he was the choice of the State for the office and it is not so easg to dafend the position of the protesting members of his party in the Legislature, If Senators were elected by popular vote there would be no chance of deadlocks and no State would lack its full representa tion at Washington, as many have lacked in times past, and the Legis latures would be able to devote their time more completely to mak ing laws desired by the people, Work Will Begin. Regarding the probability of Con gressional action on the Appalachian Park bill, Governor Smith of Geor gia, who recently returned home from Washington where he with a number of other leading men from many sections of the country went to 'appear before the committee which has the measure in hand, had this to say in a published interview: "I know we have made a strong showing from a purely argumentive and business basis. I believe that the committee will take up the matter with earnestness and I have a strong ?reason to hope that the present Congress will start the work. It is necessary, it is urgent, it is vital, and it will be acomplished. The people are becoming aroused over the demand for the preservation of a large part of their forests, and are understanding the questions as they have never understood them before. There can be no doubt of the movement." It is most gratifying to know that Governor Smith feels so encouraged over the prospects of getting the foresty measure through Congress. Governor Smith was the chairman of the committee that went to Washington. He made one of the three addresses delivered before the committee of Congress. .Final Notice. . We beg to call the attention of our subscribers again to the ruling of the United States Postoffice Depart ment, in reference to the mailing of newspapers, made Dec 4,1907, which goes into effect April 1, 1908. The ruling says that unless subscriptions are renewed in a few months after the term for which they are paid they shall not be counted in the le gitimate lists of subscribers and copies mailed on account thereof shall not be accepted for mailing at the second class postage rate of 1 cent per pound. It therefore becomes absolutely neccessary that all subscribers who are in arrears to pay up and advance their subscription in accordance with the above ruling. If they do not do so we will be compelled to take their name? from our list and discontinue the paper. We have no discretion in the matter. This law applies to every paper.
