J The frequent revolutions in Cen tral America show that the air down there must be heavily charged with ?political electricity. I The man who is above his busi ness and the man who is below it may be widely apart but they attain the same end?failure. Texas could not have pulled off that double lynching and burning in a more up-to-date style than the people of Cairo, Illinois, did. The West is catching oh. Some people have so high opinion of themselves and so little of the ability of others that they make the mistake of thinking that what they cannot do no one else can. Thoughtlessness is no excuse for wrong doing. Many people because they say "I didn't thiak," in explan ation of some injurious act they have done, imagine that such a statement relieves them of all blame. It very much looks as if the Astors 1 .do not intend to let the Vanderbilts ?aud Goulds have a monopoly of scan-1 dal in high society. The idle rieh | seem to take as naturally to wrong K.ing as a duck Lakes to water. I The lust for wealth often leads people to fall a prey to gold-brick men. green-goods men and other knaves. That is one of the penalties they pay for wanting to make money j too fast and without regard to hones ty. It is amusing to see the Repub lican leaders /trying .tjo cut loose from the negro in the South, while trying to swing to him in the North. This shows they care nothing about the negro except to get his help about election times. It is a great mistake to molly-1 coddle the boys. To allow them to ?escape their just share of labor and responsibility and to do for them: what they might better do for them selves is the worst possible training for their after life. I "How can you blame communities like South Carolina and Mississippi.: for instance, for voting the Demo-; cratic ticket where in some sections the proportion of colored population j is ten blacks to one white?" asks: Senator Cullom. It took this old j hypocrite a long time to find it out. "The whole truth of the situation," j says Senator Cullom, "is that the j South believes in and really needs the enforcement of the Republican doctrine of a protective tariff." A j large majority of the people in tbe South are farmers and. small mer- j chants, and we would like for the ? old stand patter to point out to usj how a protective tariff helps them. It would not surprise us to hear j of the peopte of Cairo, Illinois, try- j ing to run all the negroes out of that town simply because one or two 1 of them ha.ve committed an awful crime. Down South we promptly . punish the guilty when caught, but the innocent have nothing to fear. We recognize that there are good j and bad negroes, the same ?s there are good and bad white men, and act accordingly. Mr. "Soakum" says "no section j of the country has experienced such j a growth as will be developed in the rich South within the next few years if its strength is pushed forward and allowed to follow the rules of sound business judgment." Sound business judgment, according to Mr. "Soakum" would be for the South to join hands with the Republican p^rty and help it hold up the people I so as he and his frieuds could con-j tinue to rob them. A learned sociologist assures the American people that life is not so rushing as it was ten years ago. His assertion might carry some weight if it were not for the over whelming proofs to the contrary. It is true that in some things labor saving devices have made business and domestic conditions easier, but on the other hand the increasing number of waits and desires, with the growing mania for haste in everything makes life more intense than ever. Senator Cullom seems to think that Brer Taft has converted us all to the Republican doctrine of hold up and rob your neighbor if you can. He says he is satisfied that if the negro were not a factor in poli tics in the South, there wouldn't be a State in that section which would not support our candidates and their principles." If the Repub lican party has any mission outside of holding up the public for the bene fit of tbe trusts we have never been able to discern it. Then why should the South embrace Republicanism? He Wants to Soak Us. It is said that one B. F. Yoakum, a big railroad manager of the West, has been down and looked over the South, and thinks that politics and politicians have retarded progress and development down this way no little. He says he has exchanged j views with leading merchants, manu facturers and farmers and fron them he gained the impression that repre sentative people of the South are! j tired of elevating to public life men j who devote their time exclushely j to politics, and that they are very' much in the mood now of sending to congress and placing in other po sitions of trust public men whose ! interests are more centere i in the development, advancement and im provement of the South. Mr. Yoakum lets the cat out of the bag when he says "strong Fed eral support always has been given to the development of the Nort.h I western States. . Administrations have not in the past looked to the South for political support. The public men of the 'South give so much of their time to politics that they have no time for helping the development of their districts. With too many it is all politics. If the Republicans in congress have a row among themselves, they can always depend upon the support of certain j Southern congressmen to aid them ? in their efforts to disturb the busi I ness conditions of the country." In other words, Mr. Yoakum wants the South to change her political faith, and elect Republicans to all the offices so as he and his pals can pounce down on us as they have done in the Northwestern States, where the Republicans have absolute control. Democratic governors, Democratic legislatures, Democratic senators and Democratic congress men are not to his liking. They keep him and his kind from exploit ing this section as they have done the Northwest, and, of course, he does not like them, and want them displaced and men put in their plac es who will let him and his gang rob this section. Southern congress men who will vote to allow the lum ber trust and other trusts to tax the people' through the operations of the tariff law and other in fame us .schemes of the Republican pa.iy he J would class as progressive states men, ljut the true and honest Demo I crats, who refuse to allow the big \ corporations to rob the people, he I thinks are disturbing elements. So they are in Mr. Yoakum's case. He wants to come down here and ex ploit this section as he has the Northwest, but he finds Democratic governors and legislatures at their post guarding the people s interest, and therefore he turns away in dis gust. Talking Through His Hat. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who wants the Southern negroes disfran chised, so as the South can be in duced to vote the Repubi'can ticket, says President Taft "is showing I wisdom in his Southern tour, and that he is a big good-natured, whole souled, patriotic and generous states . man to whom the South or any other section may well and implicity trust its absolute destiny. Mr. Taft is just now mingling with the Southern people in order that he may get bet ter acquainted with them and they with him. They will find that he Is the right man for his place. Of course, the president doesn't in tend to surrender any principle, but at the same time he is willing to make concessions to the Southern people commensurate with any fair sense of justice. And likewise does he intend to eradicate the Mason and Dixon line. In my opinion, he is just the man for that task and if he doesn't accomplish it, to a certain degree at least, I shall be sadly mistaken. That line must be wiped out at some era or another; that much is a certainty, and I can't see why there should be any logical reason why the proper action shouldn't come right now. There are several States in the South simp ly ripe for falling into the Repub lican column." Senator Cullom is talking through his hat. In th* language of the Philadelphia Record "the South will eat possum with the President and drink ice water with him; it will decorate its streets when he arrives, and march in procession behind his automobile. It will throw bonquets to him and receive with deep bows and blushes of pleasure those that he tosses, back . It will meet him in every social diversion. 1 But it will not vote with him. The election returns in Virginia show that not the least progress has been made in Republkanizing the Old ! Dominion." An Off Year Election. It was not so many years ago that the first week in November was a period of tense excitement in the newspaper offices in most States, even on an off year. The general move ment to lengthen terms of State of ficers has either entirely removed J the off year election from the po | H?cal field, as is now the case in ! about two-thirds of the States, or as in some cases, limits that contest to a struggle for minor offices. Mas sachusetts and Rhode Island are the only States electing governors every year, and Massachusetts, New Jer sey. New York and Rhode Island 'he only States that elect the lower house of the legislature for one year ! i.*;ns. The change has been a wise one. It hampers the tendency to a rota tion of office among the minor politi cians, who under the old annual ar rangement keep the plums of office j moving so rapriiy that <ne bulk of the legislators are first year men. too lacking in parlimentary experience and personal acquaintance to be more than a nonenity in law making. Will lie Forced to It. The growing pest of weeds will force American farmers to go into sheep. There is nothing that will control weed growth so easily as even a small flock of sheep on the farm. If the farmer has a small flock of sheep he is not bothered I by a rank growth of rag-weed in! blue grass pastures. The lambs that are to be fattened this fall have gleaned the stubble and taken care of the weeds. Many of them are now being fattened in the cornfields, | where they are cleaning out the weeds, eating the lower blades, tak ing care of the down ears or the care that lean over, and that without any waste of grain.?Wallaces' Farmer.
