The present thirteen thousand mile journey of Pre&ident Taft is the big gest ever undertaken by a Presi dent. It begins to look as if Attorney General Lyon will pu^ stripes on some of the grafters, sure enough. He has our permission. It is claimed that the sting of the bee will cure rheumatism in most cases. May be so, but we would rather have the rheumatism. The death of Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, is a great loss to the na tion as well as the Democratic par ty, of which he was a prominent member. Like all the Republican leaders, that have preceded him, Mr. Taft is an artful dodger, when It comes to making his promises to . the peo ple good. A man has been put in jail out in Missouri for marrying thirteen wives. The man that wants that many wives could hardly be classed a criminal. He is worse than a lunatic. Even The News :<nd Courier gags at Mr. Taft's tariff speech. Wonder if The News and Courier really be lieves that the President was sin cere in his ante-election promises. The Times and Democrat has re ceived a lot of new type for adver tisements, and is prepared to give its patrons the very^ best rservice in1 telling the public what they have to offer. ? ? --Hi--"- '?*. We have about come to the con clusion that no one will ever know how much money the dispensary grafters -got for their rascality while mismanaging the old State dis pensary. Champ Clark says the Republicans will nominate Roosevelt as their can didate for President in 1912. We predicted the same thing months ago. We believe it yet, and chit he will be defeated. The dreams of the great things we are going to do in the by and by not unoften keep us from act ually doing the little things now that would be a blessing to our selves and others. The former prime minister of Chi na has been sent the yellow cord? which is a polite way the Chinese have of telling him to go off and Oslerize himself. And strange to say, he will do it In a few weeks now Mars will be within 251.000,000 miles of the earth, which will be the nearest she will get to us in the next hundred years or so. If you have anything to say to the people over there, you better say it. . Since the last General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, met in 1906. death has been busy in the College of Bishops. Be tides Bishop Ward, who has just died in Japan. Bishops Coke Smith. Chas. B. Galloway. John J. Tigert and W. W. Duncan have passed away. President Taft announces taar he will make no effort at the :ogular session of Congress in December to accomplish further revision of the tariff. In his opinion that would be "utterly useless" and "greatly dis tressing to business." No doubt, that is exactly what Aldrich told M- Taft before he started upon his tour of whitewashing. President Taft says that the Payne Aldrich bill has brought about down ward revision of the tariff equal to everything he promised in his speeches last year. Mr. Payne speak ing in the House on July 30, urging acceptance of the tariff bill, argued that the measure would bring about a reduction in the tariff equivalent to ninety-seven one hundredths of one per cent. So Mr. Taft did not promise much. What is called genius and the result of genius is usually nothing more than a combination of common sense, hard work and steady appli cation. When Anothony Trollope, the noted novelist, was congratulat ed on his imaginative power and literary success, he replied, "Imagi nation! my dear fellow, uot a bit of it: it is cobbler's wax." He ex plained that enigmatical utterance by saying that it was by sticking to his chair, as wax would make him stick, and by plodding away at his work his success was obtained. It was a case of stick-to-itiveness, and that quality in almost every instance is necessary if one would win. Let's All Keep Cool. While The Times and Democrat fully believes that Dr. Cook dis covered the North JPole when he claims to have done so, it is of the opinion that Peary may have done so too. It is unfortunate that the achievements of these two men should precipitate such a war of words, wrangling and bad temper. But in justice to Dr. Cook it must be said that he is not responsible for the unseemly dispute. Peary is the whole cause of it. As soon as he reached, the ear of civilization after hiB trip he shouted that Dr. Cook was a fakir, and that his story of discovering the North Pole should not be accepted as true. Peary's action reminds us very much of the action of Admiral Samp son in claiming the credit for the victory of the American navy at Santiago, Cuba, when he was thirty miles away when the battle was fought and won by the navy under command of Commodore Schley. He claimed the whole .aredit for the great victory when his ship never fired a gun in the battle and ar rived on the scene after the last Spanish ship had surrendered to Schley. The people could not be fooled in that instance, and they will not be fooled now by the blus ter of Peary and his backers. But there is no need of continuing the war of words as to who discover ed the North Pole first. What good does it do? It cannot settle the question or the conflicting claims of the two eminent explorers. That can only be done, if at all, by the scien tists. The only effect of the con troversy is to evoke a lot of posi tive and strongly worded statements in every community and create bad feeling. People had better learn a lesson from the pole Itself by keep ing cool. The Battle on in England. The battle is on in England be tween the House of Lords and the people.. Lord Roseberry's attack on the British interest because of his prominence and the fact that he was once premier in a liberal administra tion. The attack has now been made and its character was much as peo ple exepected it would be. Its prin cipal effect will be to stiffen the op position of the Lords, who now will probably reject the budget. Perhaps that will be just as well as it will hasten the Inevitable trial of strength between the people and the privileged classes, who hither to have escaped their,just share of taxation, and determine for all time the dominance of the Commons in stead of that of an irresponsible leg islative chamber. As for Lord Rose fcberry himself he has from a party standpoint always been an uncertain ^?quantity who preferred, as he once said, to "plow his furrow alone." There is no doubt of the result. The people will win, and the House of lords, which like our National Senate, is composed of the friends of the classes, will be dissolved -or made harmless as a means of defeat ing the will of the people. The victory of the English people will help ua over here in converting our National Senate from a fortress of the criminal rich into a real legisla tive assembly of the people. Steadily Growing Better. We are living in an era of reform. Great problems affecting the individ ual, society, organizations of all kinds, and the state, are constantly arising and wait solution. This is well for it indicates a healthy in tolerance of imperfections and abuses and a determination to uproot them wherever they exist. Of course, the movement is not ?without its dangers, for unwise meth ods, fre^k^.Jejsislation and unreason able impatience are sometimes seen and they h1nd>r instead of help. Yet ieveh that is better than stagna tion" with its indifference and un wholesome toleration of wrongs. But experience, the common sense of the people, and the wisdom of leaders in whom the people confide, will in time satisfactorily solve these , problem, and so step by step, slow- j ly, even laboriously, yet surely, this old world is steadily growing better. 1 The movement for reform is world wide, and nothing can stop it. It i may be side tracked, as it has been ] in this country, but it will p 'avail at last and will sweep all baf'jre it. It moves slowly, but surely, and , will eventually correct all the evils i that the people complain of. The Long Evenings. The season of long indoor evenings i is at hand. The evening meal is now taken by lamplight instead of by daylight, the shades are drawn down, and, far more than in the summer time, the privacy and oneness of the family life are realized. With the world and its cares shut out and love and peace reigning within the sacrelness and superiority of home life are seen to best advantage. The easy chair, suggestive of comfort, the cherry lamp and genial warmth; the family newspaper; the interest ing book; the wholesome yet enter taining book; the pleasant conversa tion, these and many other things combine to for a scene for which men may look in vain for a parallel. Whether the home evenings are as universal as in former days is ques tionable for the numerous social at tractions of the present age make iuroads upon the family circle that tend to weaken home times. Yet in spite of this, there are many thou sand of homes in. our land where almost every evening the members meet together as a well nigh unbrok en band. "Money Cannot Buy Happiness." "Mony cannot buy happiness" is the remark attributed to Mrs. W. E. Carry. If happiness could be bought by money, she ought to have plenty of it, as her husband is a millionaire. But the circumstances attending her wedding were of such a character that no one wonders she now realizes there are some things money cannot buy. Money can build palaces but it cannot make home; it can build costly yachts but it can not make that which is morally wrong morally right; it can enable one to live in luxury but it cannot buy self-respect; it can gratify one's wish for the most elaborate and costly Parisian gowns but it cannot restore a shattered reputation. It cannot even open the way for recog nition in society, and that fact scores one in favor of society. The moral of it all is obvious. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.
