Walison. He has not even chirpel since the Georgia election, which buried him iu a political-avalanche. While Roosevelt is proclaiming , his "new nationalism'" in the South and West, the Republicans of his own Slate are repudiating iu in creasing numbers each day. ? j Seeing defeat ahead for his tick et in New York, Rooseveit is charg ing the Democrats with having sold out to the trusts. No one pays much attention to Teddy's ravings. That was a great speech Gen.^Carr made to the veterans on Wednesday afternoon last. We wish every old veteran who followed the starry cross could have heard it. It would warm him up and make him feel good. Senator Root is not sanguine of Republican success in New York, as the most he can say for Stlmson is that he has a fighting chance. Such a a admission from such a high Re publican authority is not very in spiring to Teddy and his ticket. Betting id New York is seven to .ten in favor of the Democrats. This is what makes Teddy rave about a deal betweeu Tammany and Wall street. He sees the handwriting on the wall, and he is casting about for un excuse for his repudiation by the people. ?Because the moneyed men of Wall street refuses to finance the Repub lican campaign in New York as they have done for lo these many years, Roosevelt is abusing them like pick pockets and charges them with back ing up the Democrats. Teddy, no i doubt, misses his friend, Harrimau. ?* ; i ? " ' The New York Press, which is Re publican through thick and thin, is publican trough thick and thin, is afraid that the commendation of the Republican ticket in New. York by Hearst will hurt the Republican pros pects in that State. It is a toss up as to which is the greater hoodoo to the Republicans?Hearst or Roose velt. - The chief-of-police of August. Ga.. is an autocrat. He threatens to lock up newspaper reporters who publisb the criminal news of that city unless they get his permission to do so. Some reporter ought t? take him in the courts where \e would be taught that he is ?io' one tenth as greater man as he thinks he is. We see it stated that some of the Standpat Republicans are so incensed at the Insurgents that they have of fered the Democrats financial assist ance in some of the congressional districts where the Insurgents have wou. All such help should be re fused by the Democrats who should let the two wings of the Republican party fight out their own battles. ."The wave of Republican losses is uot due to any popularity or strength of the Democratic party,"- says the Spartanburg Journal. If more peo ple vote the Democratic ticket than vote the Republican ticket in any election the 'Democrats must be pop ular, otherwise the Independence League to which, we believe, the Journal pins Its political faith, would get more votes. Jt would be a mistake to suppose that the dishonesty and political crookedness of so many legislators throughout the land reflects tue character of the American people. Al most without exception they are hon est, straight-forward and reliable. The most that can be charged against, them is a good natu red tolerance of evil on the part of their represen tatives which too often turned u> indifference. The Spartanburg Herald says "a farmer in east Tennessee sells his farm to a new comer for $4700. and thinks he has caught a suckev fo' Iiis wornout. ??h! p'a.- \ The new ??Omer, however soil's ?V? -fear rUls off that place to penc. makers for ?$7,200?which goes to show that ce dar wood has become rare and valua ble and that it pays to keep a wide open eye on all that's going on." The shrewd business man has no use for the slangy, sporty, drinking ?tnd gambling young man who prides Himself on "knowing a thing or two" ind who turns night into day. The young man whom the merchant, banker and others have room for is sober, honest, self-respecting. Indus trious and obliging. One man, un less he makes a radical change in his habits, degenerates into a blear ed-eyed street corner loafer, but the other strikes twelve every time and has the confidence end esteem of his fellows. Getting Heady for the Empire. /There is a scheme on foot in the West to place the national guard on the army salary list at rates of from 5 to 25" per cent of the regular wages. To that end a conference "of national guard officers has just been held at St. Louis. General Leonard Wood was present and declared: "I would out-German the Germans by institu ting compulsory, military education in all of the schools. Every boy 13 years of age or more should be com pelled to learn to use a, rifle as a part of his school course. ' This militarism is the natural result of the large increase in the army under Repubiican legislation, and it is time to nip in the bud any further in crease unless we would be a'nation of soldiers and saddled with the* sup port of an army .that would exceed even that of Germany. But General Wood was not satisfied with turning all the boys of the country into sol diers, for he further declared: "Our standing army of 8^,000 men is far too small, and Congress should, pro vide for its increase to at least 140. 000 men. .General Wood, who is now the commander-in-chief of the United "States army, is the puppet of/Roose velt, having been forced to his pres ent position over the heads of scores of more accomplished officers, and would do Roosevelt's bidding, and should Roosevelt attempt to establish an Empire in place of-the Republic, Wood would be the very man that Roosevelt would want at the head of the army. Roosevelt and Wood may be dreaming of an Empire, with the former as the strong man at its head and the latter as the strong man at the head of the army. That may be the reason of Wood's advocacy of turning all of our schools into mili tary schools, where our boys can be made familiar with the arts of war and for wanting to double, our army, when we have no use for the army we now have. Who wants to see the United State an armed camp'' What, service or help to tte people' would such an aTmy be? Who would it fight? Con sider the' expense: It now costs $101,195,883 for the support of the present army, and it is proposed to more than double that enormous sum. if the scheme to pay the offi cers and men of the national guard is added to the cost of nearly doub ling the regular army. It is time fdr the mothers and the fathers of the United States to decide "whether they want their boys to be enlisted in the army without their, consent, and that of course means their beii. subject, to the call for service.. It is unlikely that the ranking Major-Gen eral of the Army would publicly ad vance this army program unless the President and the War Department were back of it. Just fancy the people of the United State voiutarily doubling their tax burdens and giving all tneir sous as. possible food for powder, to sat isfy the craze of army officers, and Republican officials for. militarism. ?nce installed here, militarism would endure, and as In Europe, abou'c every taxpayer would have a soldier on his back'booted and spur red to force the taxes out of him. The people of the United States can do themsetve? better service by striking a blow at militarism when ever or whereever it raises its hid eous head. Proctor trully said: "Sol diers always live in Idleness or peril; both are bad." This is true, and people of the United States should let it be known that they are not in favor of either of Gen. Wood's prop 'osltions. If Roosevelt imagines that j he is the man on horseback that we have often heard of. he should be taught better. That he has dreamed of an Empire with himself as ruler in place of our Republic we have not the slightest doub'L, but lie would have a rude awakening should he attempt to realize his dream. Shrinking Savings. Nothing shows more clearly tlie strain on the resourses of the people, caused by the increased cost of liv ing, than the shrinkage of savings reported by the Savings Hanks. High prices?caused by tariff protection, which fosters trusts and combinations and creates monopoly?if they do not in every case force the withdraw al of savings, certainly prevent add ing to the store. Those who have been self-denying enough to save will rarely spend their savings except through an extreme necessity. What a crime it is. therefore, to tax nec essities?that should be free?to en able the protected few to profit at the expense of the many. This high protective-tariff tax is a two-edged sword. If decreases im j portations that would compete with the products of our trusts and com bines, and allows the prices of home products to be increases to the same, level as the imported articles. ff the tariff tax were reduced, the price .at which imported" articles could he sold would be relatively lower: and to preserve their trade, the home manufacturers would have to also t ed nee the price of their products. The protectionists declare that to 'reduce the tariff on manufactured '. products would make paupers of the j workmen employed, because they 'would have to compete with the pau per labor of Europe and elsewhere, i Ftnr expe.rion'ee in England shows . that since the free trade era began, ? the wages for all kinds ot labor have , risen over 100 per cent, and the gov ernment savings banks have more dui>osits year alter year. Then. there is the further experi ence of Germany and France since these countries adopted high pro tection as their policy: commodities have so advanced in price that there is groat unrest among the working men and those with small salaries. I and demands are being made to re duce the tariff taxes, which, as iu the United States, protect the manu j facturers at the expense of the con sumers. One can hardly wonder, therefore, that with savings decreas ing and the price of necessities con tinually increasing there is a strong trend toward Democracy, which stands for tariff for revenue Instead of tariff, for protection. v' ?_m CLASSIFIED CO?
