C. With base ball and the campaign going on we will have a lively time this Summer. With 88,000 men out of work in Cnicago and 90,000 in New York the full-dinner-pail argument is likely to be badly battered up be fore the next campaign opens. C. W. Morse, of New York, anoth er eminent "defender of the nation al honor" is now engaged in a tus sel with the sheriff and a bunch of legal wits. The idols continue to fall. The three most popular and most thoroughly trusted men by the mas ses in the United States today are "William Jerinings Bryan, Theodore Hoose/elt and Benjamin Ryan Till - man. Speaker Cannon's little presiden tial boomlet has met with great encouragement by being endorsed by the republican committee of Guil ford county, N. C. Mr. Cannon was born in that county. Some of the hopeful souls over in Calhoun who are running for office wont be so hopeful after the votes are counted, but they can try again in a very short time as there will be two elections in Calhoun this year. Some papers are finding fault be cause too many candinates are com ing out. This is a free county and every man who feels like it can run Jor office, and we don't think the gentlemen of the press should ob ject. Owen Wister, the novelist, was defeated for the city council in Philadelphia. Wister was an inde pendent candidate, but the republi can majority was too large. The author of "Lady Baltimore" eould not have done worse in "Charles port." _ A white man was acquitted in Barnweil on the charge of murder but, The State says "now he is in xeal trouble, being charged with at tempting to steal from the treasury. Murderers and scientific grafters j need not worry, but the white thief | is frowned upon." In a speech made by Bryan at Jackson. Miss., Saturday, the Ne braskan declared that money is being used by interests representing the trusts and the railroads to secure he election of delegates to the Den ver conventions opposed to his nora ination for president. Those subscribers who do not pay up their subscriptions on or before April 1 will miss sheir papers after that date as we are compelled by law to drop them from the list. So come up friends and pay what you can and we will arrange it somehow | for you to continue the paper until next fall. In reporting a speech of Dr. John C. Kilgo, president of Trinity Col lege, N. C, the New York Sun says: "He pitched into the South good and plenty." The Greenville Sun says: "We always had an idea Dr. Kilgo was not averse to tickling Mr. Duke, but didn't think it was as bad as that." The News and Courier says: "The Hon. William j. Bryan recently vis ited Frankfort, Ky? in the interest of Candidate Beckham. At least he thought his visit was in Mr. Beck ham's interest." This is a mistake. Mr. Bryan visited Kentucky in the interest of the Democratic party and not Mr. Beckham. A Washington lettet to 'the Au gusta Herald says "there is no get ting around the fact that Senator Tillman is a very popular man among the people at large, if one may believe one-half of what he j hears concerning the South Carolina j senator from men who are gathered in Washington from all parts of the| country during the sessions of con gress. Should Be Instructed. Herman Ridder, editor of a New York paper, recently traveled through the South urging, so the the New Orleans Times-Democrat says, the Democrats of this section to see to it that Mr. Bryan is not nominated at Denver. In an inter view with the Times-Democrat Mr. Ridder says: C*I am convinced that Mr. Bryan can not carry a northern state, and I would like to suggest to our southern friends that they should not instruct their delegates for Mr.JBryau, but that they should go to Denver uninstructed, so that the Democrats all over the country may consult and advise together in regard to the best man to put at the head of the ticket? Perhaps by that time Mr. Bryan himself will come to the conclusion that by his public utterances he has made him self impossible and will agree with the other Democrats in nominating a winning ticket." But why should the rank and file of democracy leave to their repre sentatives the duty of doing what the rank and file should do? The men whom Mr. Ridder represents would, according to the'Philadelphia Press, be satisfied with "anybody but Bryan." Why not trust the rank and file to say what the party's course shall be? So far as Mr. Bry an is concerned he has not asked and will not ask for the vote of any man or of any state. He does say, however, that it is the duty of Dem ocrats in precinct, county and state convention to instruct their dele gates as to the choice for the Dem ocratic nominee. The New Orleans Times-Democrat puts it well when in referring to Mr. Ridder's "no instruction plan" it says: "We think that the will of the constituencies can not be made too plain. An uninstructed convention would present bouudless possibilities of chicane. No candidate should be considered, unless his record will stand the probe of popular scrutiny. Under our primary system, we have earned to judge candidates on their merits and have forever foregone the assistance of the middlemen who used to pack conventions and thwart the people's will. We once labored under the delusion that United States senators could not be choosen without days and weeks of wrang ling in state legislatures. But, hap pily, all that has been changed and we can not see why the democracy's standard-bearer should not be se lected in like fashion. Whatever is done, let it be done in the open. The dark horses should be kept in the stable?and so should the jock eys who are so eager to mount." Democratic Opportunity. "We are not likely to have a walkover in 1908, and this is not the time for dissensions within the par ty ranks."?Leslie M. Shaw. The Washington Herald says this obvious truth, uttered by the recent secretary of the treasury, and refer ring especially to the republican sit uation in Iowa, is equally applicable to the country at large. Party lines are broken everywyere. All well informed republicans like Mr. Shaw keenly appreciare that no "walkov er" is in prospect for 1908. Dissensions are the rule, not the exception. A great party is work ing at cross-purposes. It is at log gerheads as to men, wide apart as to measures; uncertain, undeter mined, and afraid. It is as a house divided against itself. Six months before Harrison's ov erwhelming defeat in 1892, possibly party conditions were as bad as they are today, but certainly no worse. Rooseveltism is almost, if not quite aa strong as ever it was, in spite of adverse material conditions; but Rooseveltism, as everybody knows, is not republicanism, and the only republican who, apparently can keep alive the whole of this Rooseveltian sentiment?Roosevelt himself?has eliminated himself from the presidential equation. Mr. Shaw puts it mildly enough when he says "we are not likely to have a walkover in 1908." Repub licans of somewhat less prominence are saying, "We shall be lucky if we escape defeat." They are fast com ing to believe, in fact, that but one of their number?Hughes, of New York?cen safely insure the party' salvation, and Hughes, of New York, strange to say, is not to be permitted to have the nomination, if the administration can prevent it. Hence the clouds now hovering over the g. o. p. If the democratic party is really lacking in optimism at this momen tous juncture, as it seems to be, we can account for it only upon one of two theories?either it does not read the signs of the time aright, or made sick at heart by hope long deferred, its pessimism is become chronic.1 And the most hopeless type of pessi mist, we may add, is that still too ubiquitous democrat who obstinate ly refuses to see in William Jennings Bryan the man of the hour?the democrat cf all democrats to whom in 1908 the presidential nomination will be least likely to prove a forlorn I hope. If Rooseveltism passes, be prepar ed for Bryanism. It is a pity that the work of the dispensary commission ha?? been in terrupted by the United States Court, and we hope that the matter can yet be amicably arranged so as the good work being done by the commission can be continued. Frank H. Hitchcock has resigned as first assistant postmaster general. He will be succeeded by Charles P. Granfield of Missouri. Mr. Hitch cock will take charge of the Taft boom, and see that the colored bro j ther is kept in line for his man. Notice.

The plan of guarantec'l bank de posits has probably fi-iind favor, among a;l via&-es >-t i?? ? ,?? ? ;.'nd i :e SpttCUV? . . l> il.IV?. .IM.*.". ? I'K rapidly tutw any oi^er , ablic ques tion. The new state of Oklahoma has already enacted a h.w t axing state banks, the fund thu.. accumulated to be used in paying the depositors of any state bank that :rom any cause becomes unable to nieet its obliga tions. A special senior of the Kan sas legislature has been called for the purpose of enacting legislation similar to the Oklahoma plan. The governor of Nebraska i.-* considering the advisability of calling a special session of the legislature on account of the growing belief among the people that protection to bank depositors in the form of state or federal guarantees of their deposits will stop the hoarding of money, bring into circulation srfficient cur rency to conduct the bu iness of the country, and prevent a recurrence of such disastrous panic? as the one through which wr are now passing. Mr. Bryan has leen an advocate of a law guarani? ein;; deposits in state and nationa. uacks since 1893. The legislature ->f Ohio adopted a joint resolution inviting Mr. Bryan to address its members in joint ses sion February 18. 190S, on the sub ject of Guaranteed ?a' k Deposits. Mr. Bryan, in c!iscuh..;ing the tariff question, insists that residents of the United States should be permitted to buy ?< n\<* mado goods at homo at as io.v a prici as the foreigner can buy American made goods abroad. Hp also insists that our govern ment should be by and for the peo ple as a whole,rather than by and for the trusts.and administered in the interest of a few beneficiaries of the trust system. He believes that na tional legislation for the purpose of better regulation and control of in terstate commerce and common car riers should supplement state legis lation, and not be a substistute for state legislation.
