C If the politicians and their organs could succeed in abolishing free speech and the liberty of the press they could do anything they please. The Democracy of The Times and Democrat needs no defence. We defy pur enemies to produce one line from its columns that does not ring -true to Democracy. If the .thirty-seven Southern Dem ocrats who voted to tax lumber had , voted against taxing lumber, it would aow be on the free list, and the win ding of thfe next House would be a -certainty. " There is no doubt in the minds of ?any one now but that the tariff was revised solely for the benefit of the .trusts. Aldrich knew he was going to retire and he wanted to fix it to the liking of the trusts before he left (No doubt John Capers has the names of a good many socalled Dem ocrats in South Carolina who applied to him to help them get office on the score that they were Republi cans. These fellows ought to be smoked out. We hardly think that Congressman Lever, as a servant of the people, will claim for one moment that his official acts are above criticism by the people or the press. He is too good a Democrat to take any such Republican ground as that. We do not hear anything from old Uncle Joe in these strenuous days, through which the Republican party are passing. So many of his polit ical associates of the happy days gone by, are now on the mourner's bench that the old fellow feels lonesome. The Times and Democrat honest ly believes that if the Democrats fall to elect a majority of the next House of Representatives^ it will be because the Democrats in the present House jailed .to give the people of the West free lumber when they had a chance to do so. We have lived and labored among the people of Oraugehurg county for nearly thlrtyrtwo years. During all those years we have been the Editor of The Times and Democrat and we leave it to thorn to say if it has ever faltered in ,its devotion to Democracy and the rights of the people. ?If the "rticle we published from Collier's Weekly in reference to the effect the vote of thirty-eight Demo crats for a tax on lumber will have on the congressional election next month, does Congressman Lever an in justice, we will be glad to publish anything he has "to say in refutation of it. Some of the Republican leaders are consoling themselves with the idea that \ Democratic victory would do tbe Democrats no good, as It Is so badly split on the tariff.- They lose sigh'; of the fact that the Dem ocrats v>ted against the tariff bill almost .aanaimously on its final passage. The Times and Democrat is so much of a Democratic newspaper that it believes the official acts of any official is a legitimate subject of criticism. We have never known this right of free speech and the liberty of the press questioned ex cept by some radical Republican newspapers and politicians. The Times and Democrat takes a practical interest in 'the good people of Orangeburg County, and tries to serve them whenever It can. An evi dence of this is shown in the fact that we have contributed thirty dol lars In money and $7.50 In subscrip tions to the different corn contests. No other county news-paper in this State has done anything like this to encourage the boys in their corn ?contest Collier's Weekly did publish an article that reflected on the people of the South, for which The Times and Democrat and other newspapers denounced it. But in justice to Col lier's Weekly, we will say that as soon as the matter was called to the attention of Mr. Collier he apologized for it and fired the man that wrote it The Times and Democrat pub lished Mr. Collier's apology, which was frank and sincere. A Republican newspaper Is author ity for the statement that the failure of the Democrats to put lumber on the tree list when they had a chance to do so, will save its party twenty tive congressmen in the approaching election and as many electoral votes in 1912 in the West, where the peo ple are anxious for freo lumber. So if we fail to win the House we will have to charge it up to those Dem ocrats who made it possible to tax lumber by voting with the Republl Whereinls Our Crime. We want every reader of The Times and Democrat to turn to page two of last Thursday's issue and read in the second column of the page the article under the title of "How Their Votes Hurt," and ctell us frankly if there is one unkind word about or abuse of Congressman Lever in that article. We make the same I request of Congressman Lever him 'self. If he can find any unkindnessj or abuse of himself in that article, and will do us the kindness to point it out at once we shall take great pleasure in apologizing to him, for we intended no unkindness to or abuse of him or any one else in that article. We make this request be i cause we have been accused of doing the Congressman a great Injustice by publishing said article. Our only reason for publishing the article was to show where the I Independents, without whom it is impossible to elect a Democratic j House or President, stands in the present election. Collier's Weekly is an independent magazine, and its support of the Democratic candidates for Congress in close districts might influence enough Independent votes in those districts to insure their elec tion. This being the case, we re garded the opinion of Collier's Week ly as being valuable as indicating I the trend of the Independent vote, and for that reason we published it, and none other. Collier's ? Weekly has a very large circulation and its influence with Independent voters iB great. ' For that reason we thought our readers would like to read what it has to say. about the election. Mr. Lever's name is not mentioned I at all in that article except once, Und then it was mentioned by Col 1 lier's Weekly and not The Times and {{Democrat. We cannot see where [ there is any injustice to Mr. Lever in mentioning one of his official acts I in connection with his name. He is a public servant, and we do not think that he would claim that his official acts are sacred and must not be mentioned by the people or the presB. Any, one. who puts him in that position does him an injustice. We hope that we will elect the next House in spite of the defection of the Independent voters as indicated by Collier's Weekly, but there is no question but that the position of the Democrats on the tariff question are going to make it much harder for the Democrats to do so than if all the members of the party had stood squarely up to old Democratic doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Two Brands of Republicans. \A standpatter used to be a bold and loyal Republican who was satis fied with the traditions and princi ples of his party,-?the highest meas ure of protection for the benefit of the few to plunder the many. Now the standpatters are on the defen 18ive, or have crawled into their holes and are waiting until the political cyclone blows over. On the other band, Teddy and his progressive Re publicans are very much in evidence and proclaim themselves favorable to tariff revision downward, but they also declare they believe in' "the principle of protection" with a dash of the RooBevelt "New Nationalism" thrown in to give the protection principle a more popular flavor. Judging from samples of the two |brand8 of Republicanism now before j us, there is not much to choose be tween them; but if obliged to take one or the other, the Taft brand J I seems to have the better taste fori Taft has tried to do something? jeven on the tariff?Teddy did noth ! ing but tell what he was going to do. Always big things promised for the future, changing as 'the political weather vane alters, is the CoIonei'b j plan of campaign. Whither would. Roosevelt lead ub with his New Nationalism, that means one thing in Kansas, a differ ent 'thing in Indiana, and still differ ent things In New York? There must ' be stability about political' principles, or we would ever be on an unknown sea with a crazy pilot, which means a shipwreck of our hopes of reform. For seven long years was Roosevelt) President of these United States and he kept the country in a turmoil, so much bo, that business was disturbed and the worst panic on record was the result. Not a reform was ac-1 compllshed. Not a trust was pre vented from plundering. Not one malefactor of great wealth was near | er a jail for all of the Roosevelt raving. If you hire a man for a certain 1 work at which he professes to be an (expert, and he shows no good results In seven years, who do you do? You bounce him, and do not care to act upon his advice thereafter. That is ! what sensible people have done with 1 Roosevelt. He is too eratic to follow, he preaches to much, but his deeds I do not match with his words. Knifing One Another. There seems to be an irrepressible conflict going on between the mem bers of the two factions of the Re publicans. The Isurgents charge that the Standpat Republcans of the Cannon brand are secretly trying to defeat the Insurgent nominees for Congress. The Washington corres pondent of the Baltimore NewB says: '^Several of the most prominent in surgents in the country are confident that at the proper time they will be in a position to charge peaker Can non and several of his lieutenants with treachery to the Republican party." It is also stated that Re publican members of the House have offered financial assistance to elect Democrats. There is probably this much truth in the report: That both the stal warts and the insurgents have their knives out for each other la some districts where the feeling between the two factions is fierce, but that an offensive and defensive alliance j has been arranged between either of j the two Republican factions and the; Democrats is improbable, and is merely an exaggeraCn of the known \ attitude of tbe hostile factions. fTais report admits that the Demo crats will elect a majority of the next House, and we are pleased to say that from all that we can gath er that -will be the outcome. Then, if the Democrats manage their vic tory discreetly they will stand a splendid chance of electing their president in 1912. This is the way it looks to us.
