The Times and Democrat, Orange
bnrg, S. C. 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'
