Teddy and his friends may not think so, but he is politically dead in this country. /h ey there, Teddy! Send us a Insk of your hair before you start to your long journey up Salt River. "Tennessee is as staunchly Dein ocrr.tic at heart as ever," announces the Rome Tribune-Herald. We agree with the Augusta Chronicle that be ing Democratic at the polls is more con rincing. Senator Tillman has declared for <5ov. Harmon, of Ohio, as the next Democratic Presidential candidate. He says Harmon is mighty strong and the man who defeats him will be the next' Democratic nominee. Out of Republican Pennsylvania -will be sent a congressional repre sen-ba'th'e named Robert E. Lee. The .Augusta Chronicle says there is ?enough in his name alone to gain hiat the allegiance and support ol the South. The census report gives Augusta, Ga., a little over sixteen hundred less jjorulation now than she had ten years ago. This is evidently a mis take, and we don't blame Augusta for wanting a recount. Ju the nature of things aviation ?will always be extra hazardous as compared with traveling upon sea and land. While this increases its ?fascination for those who love to take risks it will probably operate against its popularity as a mode of travel. A man's burdens are always light er H he sings while carrying them. 3n truth many people create burdens because they are so melancholy aud so easily discouraged. What is need ed is, as Carlyle well said, "Men that .sing over their work." 7 ' 'The enlargement of the fields of research necessarily, makes this an age of specialism, and that means greater thoroughness in the study of any one department.. But for ail *hat no one should be dogmatic, for the end of all knowledge has not yet been reached In any sphere. We are glad to hear that Teddy proposed to continue the fight for the purification of the Republican party. He has cut out for himself a hopeless job, but he will help elect a Demo cratic President in 1912 if he keeps up his fight on the standpatters. Soirn? of the people who rhapso dize so much about the pearly gates and golden streets of the heavenly city miighrt well do something to mako the streets of their own city TUjoro clean and sightly. There is altogether too much of the' by and by with some folks and not enough of tin.' present. The expeditious andthoroughly sat isfactory trial of Crippen is another instance that proves that in legal and judicial matters England gives us an ?xami)l>? that needs sadly to be fol lowed in this land. Our trials and ??ourt proceedings with their innum erable and absurd technicalities of various kinds are a reproach and of tentimes a scandal. The i>cople who are to pull off the Ben Hur show in Columbia must think country newspapers are pub lished for the exclusive benefit of such showmen as they are. They wanted us to do about twenty dol lars worth of advertising for several dollars worth of tickets. Of course:, we roi-.pec'.fuUy declined. Them is no such thing as a men- [ ial otf'ee if you put a true man into i it, for every public office, however lowly, represents in some degree the majesty, dignity and power of the stale. Bui bad men in office degrade rhaL office and in so doing injuriously affect the state: and it makes no! difference whether it is the highest ; office i?i the state or the lowest. j Tin* several hundred school boys' who voluntarily helped clean up a portion of Kansas City probably ^ot ?as much fun out of it as they would have k<h from some pastime. Any-, way they did lots of good and they and their pareuts have the satisfac tion of knowing that there were no) twisted backs, broken bones and ugly j slashes such as might have resulted from foo'bail or hazing. ?Marriase would be less of a fail ore and divorces v ould show a very gratifying decrees.* if fewer foolish marriages were made, and if in the associations connected with weddings the sacredness and solemnity of the occasion were more fully recognized; The extremes to which guests often resort in their hazing of the bride and groom and the light and thought less way in which many people ent?r ?pon marriage are calculated to weaken instead of strengthen the marriage tie. I The Leopard and the Lamb. I "No polities in the new tariff ? board" is the way that President Taft says he will run it. The pres ident may be entirely honest in thus j trying to eliminate the tariff fxjru 'politics, but such a Utopian idea is as unattainable as foretelling th?. ? way the wind will blow. The fact i that President Taft signed the tar.lf? .bill because his party had passed it, j although it did not redeem the prom ! ises tbat he made previous to his election, shows how partisan a mat ;ter the tariff is and always will be. j Taxation is ever a partisan politi cal matter as long as the tax payers are plundered for the benefit of the few, which- is the design and intent of protection. Our civilization, ad vanced as it is, has not yet evolved a plan of taxation that would be equit able to all citizens. If the president believes that the can make the tar iff leopard lie down with the bleat ing and taxed lamb while the prin ; ciple of protection prevails, he will soon be undeceived. The lambs are, of course, helpless as long as the Re publican party is iu power, but they will never, stop bleating until the i leopard is muzzled and his claws are cut. In this matter of the tariff we must be practical-, Mr. Taft, and you will find it not possible to eliminate j politics from your new tariff board, i Doubtless you can appoint men who will do your bidding, but, with all due deference, that would bring them to your level which is of neces sity quite partisan. The tariff cannot be revised very far downward by those who declare that protection is a cardinal prin ciple of the Republican party, and that Is what even the insurgents say they stand for. If the tariff taxes ended with the collection of duties at the custom houses there would be a possibility of finding enough com petent men to act as the tariff board and to agree on fair rates. Any tariff tax is protection to the home producer, even on articles that are on the free list. The transportation and other charges for shipment from one country to another protect the home producer from competition to just the extent of such charges. Hut a very small proportion of the articles consumed in the United States is imported, yet the price of the home products keepB closely to the price of the imported goods on which the tariff tax has been paid. Competition between the home pro ducers has been eliminated on many products by trusts, combines or "gen tleman's agreements" to keep up prices, so that the price of the home product almost reaches that of sim ilar imported articles. That Is what the people are complaining about, Mr. President, and from which they seek relief. iFor fifty years, with only a very short interim, these high protection tariff taxes have been imposed, and the amount collected last year was $294,667,054. How much indirect tariff tax was on home products in consequence of protection is a mat ter of intricate computation. Ex perts estimate that each family in the United States pays directly and in directly in consequence of the tariff an average of $98 per annum, of which only $16 per family goes to 'the government, while $82 goes to the trusts, etc. {How can there be no politics in . the tariff issue as long as their plun dering of the many for the benefit of the few continues? Before the elec tion nearly every member of the Cabinet was on the stump defending the Payne-Aldrich law in the most partisan manner; surely that hardly indicates "no politics In the tariff board." \ A Humanizing Influence. ?Hut a few weeks ago Florence NM gh ten gale, the "Angel of the Crim ea" passed away, and still more re cently Henri Duuant, the founder of the International Red Cross So ciety. In a certain sense the work of Dunant was complementary to that of Miss Nightingale for what she did in the Hospitale that he made possi hle on the field of battle. Through his efforts all civilized nations have agreed to recognize as neutral all .sick and wounded, and all engaged in succoring them, and to seek the "amelioration of the condition of wounded in armies in the field." The growing humanity which this expresses, and which is more read ily recognized as one thinks of the terrible condition of sick and wound ed soldiers, and the crude treatment accorded them in bygone days, is one of the most beautiful proofs of the humau'zing power of the spirit of Christianity. Men differ as to theories and doctrines but with all the practical side of religion displays itself in acts of mercy and in kind ness to the sick, wounded and aflliet ed. The readiness with which individ uals and nations responded to the message of Florence Nighlngale and Henri Dunant shows that the spirit of mercy existed and that all it need- j ed was someone to give it organic shape and direction. Very appro- j priately the red cross on a white ground was adopted by the Red Cross 1 Society as its emblem In compliment! to Dunant and his native country.' (Switzerland, whose national Hag j bears the same emblem, only with ! colors reversed. The Panama Canal. it is all nonsense lor foreign gov ernments to object to our fortifying! the Panama strip. What are we spending nearly a half or a billion of money for if we are not to be [allowed to concentrate our navy in either the Pacific or the Atlantic oc ean? We bought the Panama strip and have the right to protect it for our own uses, especially in case of war. If the Pauama Canal is to he neutral in time of war. those joining in the use of it at such time must pay their share of the cost of build ing it. If Eugland and Japan want the right of way through the canat I for their Hhips in case of war, they certainly should be required to help pay for the building of that expen sive undertaking; and in time of ! peace pay the tolls for using it, as j the ships of all nations will have to i do. We are not building the canal !for exhibition purposes; but for use j and to keep down the cost of trana [ portation from the East to the West, (and to aid our merchants to control [the commerce of the Pacific. The next Congress if It is Democratic will vote the necessary money to fortify the canal, and will not say "by your leave" to any other nation. One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.
