Featherstone Is the nest Govern or of South Carolina. At least that is the way it looks to us. * It you don't want the news of all kinds, don't take The Times and Democrat, because we are bound to publish It. The Republican factions are still : on the warpath for each other. Un cle Joe* is among the slain, but the old sinner does not seem to recog nize the fact. We take oft our hat to the study Democrats of old Vermont, and con gratulate them on^the progress they are making' in their up-hill fight for the people. (M?st people cana agree with what Teddy says, but there are many who do not agree with what he do33. The trouibie with him is that his hot air does not materialize into acts. % The publicity given crimes by all live, up-to-date newspapers deter* a great many rascals from commit ting crime. They are afraid of pub licity and refrain from doing their rascality. (All the evils that Teddy have been-telling us about were orginated by the Republican party, many of them while he was at its head. Yet lie gets up and cusses them like be had never heard of them before. As a scape goat Nncle Joe Cannon has not proven a success. After the safe cian took him to the wilderness he refused to stay put. The old man says he is still a candidate for speak er. After a'll it looks like Ballingtr will be the only \Ictim. When a young man failed to pass Jhis medical examination, be naid, "Never mind, what is the next thing," and turning to that next thing Huxley won out as one of the greatest scientists of his, day. So If you fail, young man, try again. It is intimated that President Taft would like to annex Teddy to the Democratic party. We object to the annexation. There is entirely too much hot air about Teddy to make a good Democrat. Why.not pasture him with Uncle Joe Cannon and others. It may have been only a co-inci dence, but that special car with Ted dy abroad was met by an out-of-sea son frost in the Insurgent country. It almost equalled the frost with which he was received by the "Old Guard" of New York on his returj to that State. ' ' If the tariff law is "the best the Republicans ever enacted," as Presi dent Taft claimed, the people would like to know why he is so anxious to amend it by piecemeal? He must be trying to throw a tariff-revision sop to the Insurgents, with the hope of getting them back in the fold. While Teddy refused to break bread at a public dinner with Sena tor Lrorimer because he is accused of bribery, he hobnobbed with Sena tor Guggenheim at Denver. Guggen heim is credited by some with buy ing up all the Republican members of the Colorada legislature when he needed their votes. Henry Watterson says he is al most sure that Teddy Is a candidate for President again, and thinks he ?will spilt the Republican party wide open. With all our heart, we say let her split, the wider the better. Then may be the old adage that when rogues fall out honest men will get their dues may come to pass. Every man should do his best to win in whatsoever he applies him self, but frequently a failure is a blessing in disguise in that it diverts one from a calling in which success, if obtained, would for obvious reas ons have been incomplete, to one for which he has all the requisite quali ties for the attainment of fullest success. The usually happy Republican family of New Jersey is scrapping. Ex-Governor Stokes, who wants to succeed Kean in the United States Senate, accuses that gentleman of running a "veritaJble Sibley cam paign," which means he is making arrangements to buy up the Repub lican members of the legislature in that trust breeding State. The allme of corruption forever follows the tariff on sugar. Henry F. Zimmerman, of Lyons, N. YM tes tifies that he gave $6,000 to that eminent Republican, the late Sena tor Raines, of New York, and, $1,500 to Assemblyman Burnett, for fur thering legislation for beet sugar bounties. Zimmerman, who is also a good Republican, said he regarded this bribery as presents, and not "unusual." The Real Tariff Issue. The consuming public can care buK little about '''President Taffs Tariff Board and -what it discovers either abroad or at home. The members of the Board are, no doubt, having the best time In their lives and living in luxury at best hotels in the capitals of foreign nations with Uncle Sam as the liberal pay muster. What the American people would like to know is, whether or not there is any prospect of a de crease in the present high cost of living. Since the "best tariff bill' was passed in-August, 1909, prices have considerably advanced on many articles which makers the purchasing price of the dollar less than it was under the Dingley law. What the voters have to decide when they vote for candidates for the National House of Representa tives and for state representatives who will elect United States Sena tors is, Which party candidate will vote for real tariff revision? The Republican politicians even the In surgents, declare that they are wed ded to the protective policy, which artificially adds to the price of near ly all we buy because it prevents competition from aibroad. The boast ed, home competition between manu facturers has nearly vanished in con sequence of the tariff-fostered com bines and trusts, which, It is evi dent, are banded together in re straint of trade. The Democrats are pledged to re duce the tariff to the revenue pro ducing point, which, while It will not perhaps be low enough to great ly increase Imports, will force the manufacturers 'arid' the trusts and the combines to reduce the price of their products for fear of losing part of their trade to foreign competitors. These two propositions are the whole tariff issue as far as the American consumer is concerned, unless he wants to go into the details of the tariff tax on the 4000 articles?more or less?which is such a complicated matter that even the experts disa gree upon it. If the voters of the United States had not for so mlany years submit ted to 'be plundered by the Republi can tariffs, each higher than the former law, one would think that it would be a certainty how they will vote on this paramount issue. But the partisan spirit of the 'Republi cans is weakening under the insur gent blows, and the time for real reform seems surety at hand, and confidence In Democratic policies Is growing apace. ? ? ? Stealing Bryan's Thunder. In commenting on Roosevelt's speeches, in which he preached his "new nationalism," as he calls it, the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot says "there is not a detonation of Bryan's political thunder which Roosevelt did not decry as claptrap, and not one which he is not fulminating now as a 'bolt of his own forging. Not only does he owe to the creative mind of another every remedy he now prescribes for public evils, but without exception he denounced as dangerous quackeries each one of the remedies he now exploits as specifics. And he would now climb hack to the presidency on a ladder "built of the very issues for cham pioning which he declared Bryan a foe to law and order; and he still belittles as a visionary and empyric ?the pioneer who blazed the trail along which he is now marching with all the pretensions of a dis covery. If such shameful and trans parent trickery Imposes on the Amer icanp eople, they deserve no bel ter fate than is sure to overtake them should they place their desti nies In Roosevelt's keeping." No one who is acquainted with the facts can deny the truthfulness of the indictment against Roosevelt or fall to agree with the conclusions reach ed by the Virginian Pilot. More Republican Whitewash. The partisan attempt of the Re publican members of the special con gressional committee investigating Indian land frauds and bribery to whitewash Congresman Bird .Mc Gulre of Oklahoma Is denounced by Congresman John H. Stevens, who says. "I desire, as a member of the special committee of investigation to dissent from the opinion of my Re publican colleagues and to enter my protest against the plain and mani fest effort to whitewash a Republi can Congresman, now a candidate for reelection. It would be a re flection upon the intelligence of the voters of Oklahoma to believe Bird McGuire did not wilfully and know ingly put before the House of Rep resentatives and endeavor to secure the passage of the amendment that would have validated these individ ual MeMurray contracts. This is shown by tho Congressional Record ?beyond doub..." Comment ia unnecessary, as Mr. McGuire's case is refered to his Ok lahomma constituents but the action of the Republican members of the committee in that case casts grave doubts on all that they have done, and on their forthcoming report to Congress, which it Is evident may be of the same partisan nature. Democratic Gospel. A very instructive book on the tariff has just been issued by Chair man Lfloyd, of the National Demo cratic Congressional Committee, that contains a classic on the principles of improvement In the revenue law, ?being the report of Robert J. Wal ker who was Secretary of the Treas ury of the United States in 1846. What Mr. Walker said then is just as applicable now &b it so admirably states the Democratic policy on the tariff of his day as It does of the same Issue of our day. The pamph let also contains extracts from the speeches of other great Democratic leaders on the tariff which will be of the greatest help in confirming the faith of the Democrats in the principle of a tariff for revenue and In confuting the arguments of Re puMicans for a continuation of a policy of protection.

Robespierre of tho French revolu tion, the man who was destined to deluge France with blood, was, not long before his frightful career of power began, ons of the most strenu ous opponents of capital punishment. While he was still an obscure advocate at his native Arras he threw up an appointment because dt his opposition to this form of penalty. And just when his star was in the ascendant be boldly harangued the national assem bly to prove "that the punishment of death is esentially unjust; that it has no tendency to repress crimes, and that it multiplies offences much more than it diminishes them." Briquets of New Zealand. The briquets which the Btate coal mines department of New Zealand in tend to manufacture at Westport will be, in two shapes: One will be an ob long block about two-thirds the size of an ordinary brick and will be egg shaped, weighing only a few ounces, and will be suitable for household use. The state railway department has an nounced its readiness to use briquets almost exclusively for keeping up steam in the boilers on the locomo tives. Provided Well For Their Poor. In the records of St Thomas' hos pital, London, is an entry ol the year 1570. to the effect that "in considera tion of the hote tyme of the yere," the poor be allowed "every one a daye three pyntts of Bere for two months" ?a quart at dinner and a pint at sup per?and at the end of months ! return to "there olde ordinary allow ance, wych Is one quarte." The food at this ancient workhouse was to be I dealt with as liberally as the drink. The almoner and steward were to "bye no by He but of the best, without bones and in speciall without the marybon, and none other to b* aowghL" Where Water I* Scarce. Water is sometimes very scarce antf precious on the South African veldt, according to a writer, who says: "In our veldt cottage we uaed no well, only large tanks, and about August our condition usually became desper at*. If you washed your hands you carried the precious fluid out to pour it on some thirsty plant or vegetable, the bath water the same, part of it be ing first saved to scrub floors with, Cabbage and potato water were al lowed to cool and thou used for the garden or to wash the dogs in first, so that these waters did three duties." Streets in Gain Dress. The streets of Peru, especially oa gala days or when they wers the spe cial dress of some celeoration, art said to be among the,most picturesque in the world. In their narrow propor tions they resemble somewhat the streets of China, and the variety and contrast of the colors used in decor ation may be compared with the Chi nese. There is, however, a distinct Latin character to the decoration, which lends them an atmoap?era en tirely their own. Where Coal Mining Began. The bituminous coal mining in this country began In Virginia, where tho output as early as 1820 was about 50, 000 grosB tonB. In 1840 the American output had reached nearly 2,000,000 tonB. In 1850, with an output of about 7,500,000 tons, this country had al ready passed Belgium, France and Germany. Great Britain was then producing about 54,000,000 tons. Dissppearanoe of a Custom. A picturesque figure will van .ah from Paris, owing to the decision of the municipal council to abolish the office of "organiser of funeral pomp" at funerals.
