C. j (Democratic roosters can now crow 3ong and loud. Teddy had better go back to Af rica and stay there. New York repudiated Teddy and bia man Friday yesterday! ?Boss Teddy has not yet crawled from under the debris. He was bur ied out of sight. fThe Democratic landslide arriv ed on time yesterday, sweeping many Republicans out of office. There will be no congressional contests from South Carolina when the next congress meets. President Taft showed his good sense when he Issued his Thanksgiv ing proclamation before the election. The character of the man you honor and tie to Is sufficient to show your own character. Like goes to like. It is 'quite the fashion for some people to lay the blame for their misfortunes upon providence instead of placing it upon themselves. DIHigence is essential for business Buccess, but that dilligence must be rightly applied and with a due sense or proportion. To be dilligent over trival things and ignore those which are important will not answer. No man came out of the late cam paign more discredited that ex-Pres ident Roosevelt. He acted the slan derer and blackguard from begin ning to end. We say this in sorrow, because of the high position he once held. In these cities where the census returns are disappointing it does not usually help matters by finding fault. The one thing to do is to so resolve and act that a new spirit may be infused and the failings of tho past be remedied. fBfany a child has gone to the bad .because its parents in mistaken ten derness and to avoid temporary un pleasantness have let their children Itave their own way in everything In stead of imposing upon them re straint of a wise and loving parental authority. Many weak hearted Democrats were ready to abandon the Demo cratic party after its defeat two years ago as a helpless wreck upon the political sea, but the oli Democratic ship is-now sailing on serenely, with all sail set, bound for the port of prosperity. The great Increase in prosperity that Ireland is enjoying may be trac ed to the better land and other laws which In recent years have been pass ed for her benefit. When home rule 4a gained, which will probably be within the next year or two, Ireland's irinter of discontent will be over. Naturally enough successful can didates and their supporters are elat ed over the victories and a corres ponding disappointment is felt by the unsuccessful. But time brings changes, and this thought prevenis the elation of the ODe from being -overpowering while It softens the disappointment of the other. Every man, no matter what his politics may be, must admire the -way President Taft conducted him self during the late campaign. He ?acted the perfect gentleman from beginning to end. Wish we could say as much for Teddy because of the fact that he was once President of this great country. But we can't. Sometimes we put the cart before the horse and so make a blunder. We occasionally do this when we dwell upon the happiness of duty in stead of the duty of happiness. If people would more frequently realize their duty to be cheerful, bright and genial what a vastly better would this would be. The Boston an.l Maine railroad in New Hampshire has decided to no longer employ a lobby to influence legislation in its behalf. That is a decision that should have been reach ed years ago, but better late than never, and it is one that all other Toads should make. There would then be loss hostility to railroads and less corruption in politics. Two years a?o the Atlanta Con stitution said the Democratic party was dead and advised the Southern people to make terms with the Re publicans. This seniiment was en dorsed by ether weak-hearted Demo crats in the South. Wonder what they think of the result of yester day's election? No doubt all these jreak-hearted Democrats will now rirawl back Into the Democratic band ;w agon. j Far Reaching Frauds. The census frauuB are very far reaching, not only in the number of cities and states where the frauds are said to have been perpetrated, but from the undermining of the structure of representative govern ment Fraud in one city in a state may give that State an additional congressman and an additional vote In the electoral college. When frauds are pravalent in many state the num ber of fraudulent extra congressmen and electoral votes is magnified. When Congress makes a new ap portionment for state representation in Congress and the Electoral Col lege, it often happens that a small increase of inhabitants would add another congressman and electoral because if just enough fraudulent inhabitants are counted it would ms.ke a major fraction of what the apportionment is. The state of Wash ington may have 700,000 bona fide inhabitants, so that if the apportion ment is fixed at 205,000 inhabitauts for each congressional district the state would be entitled to three con gressmen with a fraction of 85,000 remaining. But as only major frac tions are entitled to representation, that large fraction would be of no effect as to congressional represen tation or electoral vote. Butt supposing that Seattle and Tacoma, let alone other towns, by fraud add 16,000 to the count, the* fraction would be increased to 101, 000, which would entitle the state of Washington to four congressmen in stead of three and to six electoral votes instead of five. You see the senators count as well as the con gressmen in the electoral college. it is rather suspicious that nearly all of these census frauds are in [Republican states; and knowing, as we do, that like frauds were at tempted and some of them counted on former occasions, it naturally makes Democrats fear the like agairi. There are gcod reasons to believe that frauds have been committed in Philadelphia, for there have already been numerous schedules returned more than once by the Census Office ?to that city for changes and expla nations. It is very doubtful if there has been an honest census since the war, and it Is time there was; for the Democarts do not intend to be count ed out by fraud without determined opposition. One of the first things for the next Congress to do, if it is controlled by the Democrats, will be to investigate the Census Bureau and its doings.^ The Farmer's Wife. Few realize the important part that the farmer's wife has taken in the country's development, says W. C. Palmer, of the North Dakota Ag ricultural College. Her work, her patience, her. encouragement, her children, have made possible the splendid development of today. When the farm was started, and likely on the frontier perhaps with but little to start with, she helped her hus band, she managed the home?cook ed, sewed, mended, for family- and at times for the hired men. In busy times she often helped with the milk ing, cared for the milk, made butter, raised chickens, managed the gar den, often supplying the necessary groceries and clothes with the egg and butter money. When hired men were scarce, she even would take a hand in the field work. No work too hard, no trials too severe. When husband was discouraged, she fur nished the hope, the cheer, the in spiration to go on. We hear much about what the boys from the farm have done and statistics show that 92 per cent, of our presidents have come from the farm, and as only one-third of the people live on the farm that me"ans that the farm wife has furnished 25 times as many pres'dents as the wife in the city. She also has to her credit 24 times as many governors, 18 times as many cabinet officers and so on d rough the civic and industrial life. Go to r:ny business '"lerprise an ? the boy from the farm is usually in charge. So the farmer's wife has been mother of most of the leaders. AJ1 honor and credit to the farm er's wife. She ought to have a statue in her honor, that we may be reminded of the great work that she has done and is doing. Not that she needs it, but that the rest of us do. Her work, her sons and daugh fers are her great monument. Lessons of the Election. No more impressive spectacle Is ev er seen than that of a great natim registering their unfettered will at ?"re polls. Whi1 ? '?his year tue int.'? sity of a presidential campaign was wanting, yet the same principle of representative government was as serted and it was that which gave impressiveness to the scene. The result of the election shows that the people will rule. Of course the working of this principle reveals some defects in the machinery, but in the agitation for primary elections, popular election of United States senators, corrupt practices acts, and in oilier ways, there is seen the determination of the voters to get rid of defects that the machinery may work more smoothly to the ultimate benefit of the nation and its component parts. All these reforms will come sooner I or later. ! It is not. unlikely that many peo-1 pie whose hopes were not Immediate ly realized at the election may have had temporary doubts as to the wis dom of our political institutions, but all such doub:s speedily vanish.- As a matter of fact everyone, even jn the moment of bitter defeat, grate fully recognizes that our representa tive principle, even with its imper fections of working, is infinitely su perior to any other principle. The impeilections are anciden* and can be remedied one by one, but the principle which our fore fathers won remains to be ??ver cher ished by a free people, and it is nev er more cheerlshed than on the day and morrow of some great political contests, such as took place Tuesday In nearly every State In the Union. The result of the contest assures that our institutions will endure. The Tariff Law. Secretary Wilson, of the Depart ment of Agriculture, who had been campaigning for the Republican par ty up in New York and other States for ten days preceeding the election, defended the -tariff law. He said "the department of agriculture is In touch with all sections of the J country. It has 3,000 specialists | making research into conditions wh'ch Interest the farmer. A few years ago nearly all our rice was im ported. Along the gulf of Mexico we now raise the equivalent of all rice used in the United State. W? import some but we also export some. Along the northern border states we make 500,000 tons of su gar from beets. Our last beet su gar crop was worth by products and labor nearly $100,000,000. From California 42,000 cars of citru; fruits were shipped East last yeai Take off the duty and we will get the fruit from Mediterranean coun tries where cheap labor prevails. According to Secretary Wilson the farmers who make cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other staple crops must be taxed so as the farmers who plant sugar beets, rice and sugar cane can make money out of theli crops. Is there any justice in that; If there is we would like some one who Is In favor of the protective tar iff, point it'out to us and the taxed farmers of thiB section.
