Teddy talked so much- over in Europe that he had to lay up his jaw for repairs with a specialist. King George V, who succeeds his father to the throne of England, uaid to be a good man in the rela- j tions of life. If Brer Taft continues to read the Insurgents out.of the party, the Re publicans will soon become a very exclusive set. Teddy could not .have made any better time in traveling over Europe than he has unless he could have used roller skates in the art galleries. If Dr. Kilgo is not elected a Bish op it will not be the fault of his press agents, for they have most per sistently kept his name before the public. In his younger days, King Ed ward was one of the boys, but he sobered down after he became kin' and became quite respectable in his old age. There is a great pretense of closing up the bucket shops going on, but the little lambs need not worry. They will always be able to find a bear or ] a bull to shear them. (The Montreal stock exchange for bids gum chewing on its premises, but those poor victims, who lose their all in speculation have the j privilege of chewing the rag. One of the most distressing inci dents connected with the death of King Edward is that it will cause Poet Laureate Austin to inflict the royal family with much memorial poetry. While Teddy is over in London the Britishers might get him to set tle that dispute between the lords and commons. Teddy is the only man who can settle it to the entire satisfaction of all parties. -The meeting between Teddy and Bill Taft has been successfully pu'l ed,off, and everything seems to be moving along smoothly. We do not suppose the meeting had anything to do with that earthquake in Costa Rica. Some of the churches are trying tc prevent the Jeffries?Johnson fight in California, but they will find it uphill work. In that country jab bing a fellow under the jaw is the common method of conducting an in tellectual discussion. [President Lowell, oi aHrrard, lets the cat out of the bag, and explains why foot ball is so popular. He compares the players to trained glad iators. The ball is but an incident, and the thing that counts is the bod ily injury one player can inflict on another. If Secretary Ballinger really wants to make a complete job of riding the Interior Department of snakes, as he says be intends to do, he should not overlook himself. His slimy trail is seen over every foot of pub lic land that the land grabbers has or will steal. Most of us Methodists try to be lieve that our preaeners, presiding elders and bishops are chosen by the Lord, but the activity of the press agents of a certain gentleman who is slated for bishop came mighty near convincing up that his friends have more faith in printer's ink than they have in the Lord. The Charleston Evening Post says: "Orangeburg is now choking in tht grasp of a 'erool' local meat trust if The Times and Democrat may hi believed. And a belt r road con nection with Charleston would net help Orangeburg in its preseni plight." No. but it would give u: the touch of the elbow, and that would help some. The Methodist general conference has refused a petition of the women to be allowed to vote in the church affairs. The Spartanburg Journal says: "this is wholly illogical. The women make u,p thief-fourths of the church attendance and do nearly all the work that is done. Without them f?ere would hardly be any church's." Had the women been anything like unanimous in their de mand they would have gotten what they wanted. iWe agree with the Spartanburg Journal that the disappearance of Dr. Bi'ham, who was convicted in Georgetown County of killing 1 js wife and sentenced to s rve a tetin in the penitentiary, ought *o be a lesson to our judges in allowing ludl in homicide cases in too small amounts. Judge Watts released thia man on $1.500 hail, pen ling appeal. The supr me court sustain* d the con viction and now Bingham cannot be found Democracy's Opportunity. The Democracy lias a great oppor tunity presented to it to ssr/e the people of this country in solving the questions now pending, and which we believe i- will be cal.. ?! on to solve. As the Hon. Jerry B. Sulli van says it is not a question of parry politics, it is a question of the we! fare of the government, and the prosperity of the people. Ever, Democratic candidate for congres-3. should be pledged to carry ou; the principles o!" the platform. A pl?'. form is a contract between the can didate and the people, and its v o.:i tion is as much a wrong, as th? vio lation of any instrument is a brea 1 of contract. Therefore in tin com ing campaign, state and congression al, the platform should emphasize the following principles and require the candidate to subscribe thereto: 1. Economy in the expenditure of public funds. 2. The fulfillment or party pledges. ?3. The ?lecticm of United State senators by the people. |4. The enactment of an income tax law. 5. The..elimination of combina tion and trusts. 6. Reduction of the tariff and u! pecially on the necessaries of life. These propositions are crystalize' this hour in the mind of the voter: of the nation. The nominee who sin cerely believes in these principles, will carry out the platform declara tions and will seek election because he believes these propositions should be enacted into law. IThe Democratic party is not en titled to power or confidence if its candidates are unwilling to be in trusted by the party. A refusal tt >bey the party platform; opposition to the election of the United States senators by the people; opposition to the voter having the right to ex press his choice at a primary elec tion; unwilling to destroy combina tions that control prices; uuyillin: to give to the interstate commerce commission the right of initiative as ".o rate3 of transportation on tin lighways of the nation; unwilling to reduce the tariff on the neces saries of life, such men should not >e nominated and if successful at the primary should be defeated at the polls. The party that believes in these fundamental truths and will seek heir enactment into law without I fear and without favor, will receive the confidence of the people at the November election, 1910. The Re publican party as now considered, has iolated that confidence. Democracj must arise to the occasion and place 3 its candidates only those who are . Illing to able"* by the party plat I .'orm. Unless it does it will not have the confidence of the people, nd if received, it will not be con cinued. The Democratic party must be iemocratic. It can not become the oarty of vested rights. The issue is clearly defined, it is system and priv ilege on one side and opportunities and equal rights on the other. Un ity of thought and purpose should ?uide those of the same opinion int( one party. The party that gives the ,'reatest .hope of the success of thes. irinciples, is the Democratic party, ts success means progress, its de iat the triuni'ph of privilege am I ested rights. The forces seekin: I to control prices, enacting legislation in the interests of privileges, wh( I ?elieve party is superior to princi le. can not find a home in the Dem I ocratic party. Those who favo I iiuat ri^.ii.0 oelieve in equal oppor inities can. This class Is sufficien to control legislation. They now hav. .6 opportunity by assisting in th I .-lection of Democrats to congress ..et the Democratic party be worth. >f their assistance, that ultimate mccess will not he for a day. but or all time. Malaria Bearing Mosquito. Sir. James Crichton-Browne, ai iininent English scientist, -has beet studying conditions in the Mediter :anean basin at first hand and in the light of ancient history. He h;u rome to the conclusion that Greece ell, not before the arras of the in ading armies cf the Orient, nor it orrupting vi-;ps, bur because tht nosquito got lodgment there and supped the vital forces of these here ?s by injecting the germs of malaria. We presume that it must be true i1 scientific man says so, although we ?hould like a little more demonstra ion. It is .hard to accept everything n faith in science as well as In r igion. Of course, all know that the Greece escribed by Herodotus and Thucy-j ides and Xenophon is not the Greece of the present or even of the third century B. C. Every school 'ov who .has beeu roused to enthus iasm over the battles of Marathoi. nd Salamis, or Plateau, Thermopy lae and even those during the inter necine Peloponesian wars; who has vaxed enthusiastic over the Athens of Pericles and Plato, of Aechylus and Sopocles. the Greece of the Parthenon, and of the Olympian games?every such boy has always] elt a dull aching of .his heart as he :'rad of the sudden decline of all this grandeur and the fall of Greece into the maw of the Macedonians. He has often wondered why and per haps ncne of the explanations offer ed .has satisfied him. We all know now, for the first time, that it was the mosquito and not a lack of brave men on the fight tug line. No soldier could be ex pected to handle a sword or spear with several billions of malarial bac !li working in his interior economy. T'-.o explanation, however, leaves much to be explained. W.hy didn't the mosquitoes go farther north an., destroy the Macedonians as well? How does the learned scientist know the mosquitoes came from Greece on a shin sailing fram the marshes along the Nile? If we may trust the records of Crete there was com merce .vith Greece a thousand years before the use of Pericles. \\ hy I didn't the mosquitoes emigrate ear lier? What the mosquito did for Greece, ' it can do for this town, and will do J if it is not checked and destroyed. I Apparently, the mosquito is a very insignificant little insect, but when we consider what he did for Greece dnd will do for us unless he is de stroyed, he looms up as a formidable enemy. Yellow fever, malarial fever, and some other diseases are caused .? the .me of '.he uifferent species of the mosquito, and hence they are all bad and should be utterly de stroyed. What are we doing to rid this city and county of them? Ty phoid fever and malarial fever are two diseases that we should not have among us, and we would not have ihem if we made diligent war on the mosquito and the house fly.
