"We extend our congratulations to the succesf ul and our condolence to the defeated candidates in Tues day^ primary. The indications are that Mell hamp will be elected on the first ballot. Let Orangeburg County help along the good work by giving him a unanimous vote. L. C. Taft, of North Ferrisburg, Vermont, tells the World that he cast 'his first vote for Lincoln, voted last time for Roosevelt, and will cast his next vote for Bryan. Springfield, Illinois, has now, or had before the late riot, three thousand negroes, but the next cen sus will show a great falling of, as the negroes are leaving in droves. m The Republicans are not trying t? jrrise I campaign funds by popular subscription as the Democrats have to do, as they have the old fat fry ing! machine, which they are now working overtime. The first primary will be held on Tuesday. AH the candidates can't be elected, but they can all take their defeat with good grace and treat their successful competitors with courtesy, and respect. The Augusta Herald says "in Brunswicic, Ga,, they seem to have a "booze boat" where the thirst afflicted can go and secure refresh ments. That's one advantage of be ing on one edge of the the three mile limit." The Augusta Chronicle says: "If they can ever get to jailing those who patronize 'blind tigers.' as well | as the 'blind tiger' proprietors, then the'blind tigers' will close." This | would be a severe but certain rente* ?dy for "blind tigers." Admiral Cervera, who command ed the Spanish .fleet that we sank at Santiago, announces that he is pray ing for the success of Mr. Taft. This is not surprising when it is re membered that Taft stands for monarchial principles in this country as Cervera doesh'n Spain. In declining to be a candidate for re-election as Governor of Georgia Little Joe Brown exhibits horse sense. He knows that the people will find out before his first term expires the "interests" that elected him, and that his name would be "Dennis" should he try to fool the people again. Mr. J. C. Garlington, who seems to have been the South Carolina part of Independence L3ague, has returned to the democratic party. The Augusta Herald in noting the above fact says "Hearst will find it necessary to create a pay role posi tion to have a party representative in Ben Tillman's state." Alfred Henry Lewis, who start ed the lie on Bryan about refusing to vote for Confederates, is now writing for the Hearst newspapers. No doubt Tom Watson could get a job on the same papers for circula ting the lie if he wanted it. Watson kept this lie on Bryan going even after he knew it was a lie. It is given out from their head quarters that the Republican treas urer has returned several contribu tions to the campaign fund by cor porations. Let us have the names of the contributions and the amount returned and we will try and believe the statement other wise we must put it down as another effort on the part of the Republicans to *bunco he people. j Went Home to Roost. There is an old adage that chick ens will come home to roost, and the people of Springfield, Illinois, where the recent race riot occurred, are convinced that it is true. The peo ple of Springfield have wept bitter tears over the lynching in the South of scores of black fiends for assault ing white women, and denounced the lynchers as barbarians, but all this is changed when one of their own fair women becomes the vic tim of a black fiend. The leading paper of Springfield on the morn ing after the riot, in which seven people were kijled and all the ne groes run out of the city, had only a three line paragraph appealing for law and order, but it published con spiciously the following editorial on the "Brutal Outrage" that caused the riot? "Words are inadequate to express the brutal and hellish character of the outrage of which Mrs. Earl Hallam was the victim Thursday night. This iady was dragged from her bed where she had been sleeping, choked and bruised, taken to the yard of the resident and as saulted by a negro fiend. This devilish deed was not committed in the suburbs or in a disrepu table neighborhood, but in a highly respectable portion of the city and in a moderately thickly settled neighborhood. It must have been premeditated, and was in all its harrowing details so brutal as to arouse a feeling of righteous indignation among the people of the ciiy. That such an atrocious act could be com mitted in Springfield alarmed, those who have wives and daughters who are unprotected in their homes at night to the possible danger of a similar fate . for them; for if Mrs. Hallam could be made the victim of a brutal assault what is there to prevent others from becoming victims^of like outrages. Is there any way to relieve the community of this fear. That is the question in connection with this devilish crime for our people to consider. The prompt punishment with the extreme penalty of the law of those who commit or attempt to commit such crimes, would doubtless in sure greater safety. But to this should be added the exer cise of the power and authority vested in the city administration to expel from the city the scores of worthless and lawless negroes who come here if not to com mit crimes themselves to "egg on" others of their race to do so. The disreputable dives where this class (congregate should be suppressed and kept closed and the police should be instructed to compel the vag rants and lawless to leave the city. ^ The universal expression of profound sorrow and sympathy for the unfortunate victim and her family is accompanied by the desire to see the brutal per petrator of the deed brought to speedy and summary justice. As the Augusta Chronicle says in moments like chose the organs of popular opinion speak the language of the heart, and we see how the people of Springfield feel about the matter. Other evidence is still more convinc ing that the negro who lives in Springfield hereafter will do so at his peril, while there are grave in timations that even now the end is not yet. Conflicts between the races have taught many fearful les sons in the past few years, but none of them have taken stronger ho^ upon the mind and heart of the peo ple than this affair in the home of Abraham Lincoln. How it Works. When Oklahoma adopted her con stitution, which was written by Hon. V\ . J. lii'.dtt, Dc iloO a 1 ? ".. ? li date for President 11 conw?iueu a section in relation to State banK deposits. Under this section1 the State charges the banks a very small tax and insures all the deposi tors in these institutions against loss. No matter what may happen to the bank, the depositor is safe. If the cashier steal all the funds and escape with them, the state will promptly pay each depositors v ith in a few days. If the bank direc tors make injudicious investments and the bank becomes shaky, there will be no run on the bank because the depositors know that in any event they are safe. So far the law has worked splendidly, and has had a good effect on the banking business of Oklahoma. The feeling of absolute security has stimulated bank deposits, and not only are the people of Oklahoma using the banks more freely, but the citizens of neighboring states are using Okla homa banks, where they can, in preference to their local institu tions. This state insurance feature ap plies of course only to state banks. National banks are not included, that is, under the state law the in surance of deposits was not com pulsory on them, but they were to be permitted to avail themselves of this feature if they chose. Almost immediately upon the law going in to effect depositors began transferring their deposits from un protected national banks to the protected state banks, and the for mer applied for the extension or the state guarantee to them: but At torney General Bonaparte ruled that this could not be permitted un der the federal statutes. Then the national banks began to surrender their charters, to contin ue the banking business under state charters, in orri^r to be permitted to get the benefit of the state guar antee, The first of the national banks to take this course was the Enid National bank, one of the lar gest banks in the state. Ten other national banks are already prepar ing to make the same change, and within a few months there will prob ably not be a national bank in the entire state of Oklahoma, except perhaps such as do not expect to do a general banking business. And all the time the business of the state banks will increase, stimula ting the business of the State and promoting its general prosperity. The Augusta Herald, from which paper we get the above facts, says "otljer states will doubtless follow the example set by Oklahoma in this matter. As the good results of the Oklahoma system become become more apparent, other states will be almost compelled to fall in line, and the system become gener al throughout the country:" This is the same law that Bryan demands for national banks. Its successful I working in Oklahoma is a vindica tion of Mr. Bryan's ideas on the subjeet, which we believe will be adopted sooner or later for all the banks in the country National as well as State. Bryan's Way the Best. The Springfield Republican, an in dependent Republican paper of Massachusetts, which supports Taft, says ''one of the most wholesome and successful phases of the Bryan campaign thus far has been the handling of the question of cam paign funds. That the /decision to have publicity before the election is popular and will tend to sustain the Democratic tick, t in October's crit ical weeks can n >t be doubted, It is to be regretted ttiat Mr. Taft left this matter to hi* New York advis ers, or accepteo their view of the question, for it is folly to suppose that the New Y- rk law much im presses the people of the West. There is also und mbtedly an atti tude of frank dependence upon pub lic support, in the appeal of the Democratic managers for popular contributions, that gratifies the masses of the voters, however dis inclined the great bulk of them may be to "chip in" a dollar. The ac tion of the Oklahoma Republican State convention in declaring that the popular appeal for subscriptions is "undignified" is, of course, used by Mr. Bryan to his advantage. It is better to be honest than dignified, he promptly points out. If the Democratic presidential canvass finishes in this respect as well as it appears to have begun, a real ser vice will have been performed for the country. There are abundant reasons of the strongest civic na ture for hoping that the rank and file of any party whatever' will re spond to the appeal of its leaders for legitimate campaign funds in a manner emphactic enough to make inexcusable a future relar.se to the old demoralizing methods of allow ing the corporations and the mil lionaires to finance our electoral struggles." The Republican is not the only Republican paper that takes this view of the campaign fund mat matter, a matter that has worried Taft and his managers no little. hid i in . i :. .' ! "<?.-.!*. Nubu?y na tue r*nmdeipiuu Rccoiu says, can tell what the tariff costs the people or the country. The on ly record is of the government col lections on the goods imported. There is of course no record of the domestic goods whose prices have been marked up under the "protec tion" of the tariff But every man knows^rfectly well that the object of fixing a high rate of duty, higher than the revenue requirements would justify, is to permit the prices of domestic articles to be raised. The government might, for ex ample, levy a duty of 20 per cent, on an article under which there might be consiberable importation and proportionate revenue paid in to the treasury to support the gov ernment and pay for battleships. Or it might levy 100 per cent., un der which rate there would proba bly be no importation and no reve nue for the government and the domestic prices could be raised as high "as the traffic will bear." There is a steadily decreas ing domestic competition be cause more and more industries are dominated by combinations or trusts, Frances E. McGovern of Wiscon sin makes a rough estimate that the Dingley tariff takes half a billion dollars a year?or has taken so far five and a half million in its whole career of spoliation?out of the con sumers that the government gets no benefit from. As the domestic com merce is many times greater than the foreign commerce, this is an ex-! tremely low estimate; it would prob-1 Copyright 1906, br The Mantun Co.

But the interesting thing about this computation is that Mr. McGov ern is a Republican aspirant for the United States senatorship, and he is making speeches for tar iff reform. That shows which way the wind blows in Wisconsin. But if* Mr. McGovern's party shall be success ful this fall there will be no reduc tian of duties.
