Remittances should ho made by reg istered letter, check, money order or express order, payable to The Times and Democrat, Orange burg, S. C. _ Gov. Foss, of Massachusetts, goe? for Senator Lodge with gloves off. Lodge will have to call on his friend, J TeJdy, again. The circulation of The Times aud Democrat hovers around the thre* thousand mark, but we have not quite reached the goal yet. ?Teddy is very much sobered by the result of the election. He real izes that he Is not one-half as Im portant in the affair:*, of this coun try as-He thought'he'was when he whipped the standpatters to a fraz zle. (The boys who spend their even ings at home with good books as their companions' are the future hope of the republic. They are the ones who will rule the country, while the boys who run thEi streets will be the hewers of wood and drawers of | water for them. The Democratic majority in Ohio in the late election reached nearly one hundred thousand.. They re-el e?ted the governor, carried the leg islature and elected two-thirds of the congressmen. This signal .vic tory makes Gov. Harmon'prominent as a presidential possibility. Tolstoi, the great Russian reform er, is dead. It is doubtful if hu manity ever had a better friend than this good man, who gave up wealth, position, and the pleasures that these things bring, to serve the poorest of his fellow men. The world has hid too few such men as Tolstoi in it. Tiie conviction of Slack is all right, as far as it goes, but we can not" grow enthusiastic over it when we know .that there are worst dis pensary boodlers than he is who will never be touched by the law. ?Still that does not excuse Black, who will have to pay dearly for what boodle he got out of the whiskey rebates. The placing upon the list of he Toes tho names of thirteen men who distinguished themselves in the dreadful Cherry Valley mine disas ter In Illinois a year ago, is a re minder that in every town, there are people whose daily life year !n and year out is one of patient hero ism. Some of the people who rhapso dize so much about the pearly gates and golden streets of the heavenly city miight well do something to make the streets of their own city more clean and sightly. There is altogether too ,mucli of the by and by with some folks and not enough of the present. The wor9t habit that boys can fall into is that of loafing around on the I streets at night. It is then they cast their lot in slippery places wh3n at any moment they are likely to lall fram grace. All good and noble les sons taught them by their mothers are there counteracted and nullified. They learn nothing that Is good hut everything bad. iGov. Foss, in his challenge to Sen ator Lodge, says the issues on which the fight in the ecection was made were "honest tariff revision down ward, lower duties on the necessities of lire, free raw materials, an un taxed food supply, reciprocity with Canada and more Democracy In our form of government." Let the Dem ocracy make a note of this. There is really not much differ ence in the two brands of Republi canism. Both wings believe in a protective tariff, which1' means tho plundering of the people for the ben efit of the 'trusts. If it was possi ble for the Insurgent Republicans to get in control of the government, there would be very little change in those matters that bear on the peo ple, the heaviest. Nations may well learn from each other. In fact there is a virtual rec iprocity going on all the time. One nation gives to another nation some thing of benefit and in return re ceives from that other nation that which is of benefit to Kself. Euro pean countries gain much from this country along certain political and business lines, and on the other hand we gain or may gain from the better order, respect for law and other things that prevail in lauds across the sea. Some people in their citizenship are altogether negative. They com mit no wrong bul they are not ac tively good; they do not vote for bad men, because they do not vote at all. but they do not vote to defeat bad men; they do not oppose movements designed to prosper their communi ty, but they do nothing to help them. They are' Individual negations bel ter, It is true, than people who are bad, but not nearly of so much ac count as people whose positive char acter and influences make for moral uplift and material progress. The Good and the Bad. One of the absurd charges made by Roosevelt against the New York Democracy in the late campaign was that It was In league with Wall Street to defeat him and his poli cies by buying up the voters. If there was any gnu.ud for such a change, which there was not, It would have come In bad grace from a man who had done that very thing once; add then told a falsehood about It. It.,will be remembered that it was Mr. Roosevelt who, di vided the trusts into two classes, the good and -the bad. The good trusts were those which always supported Mr. Roosevelt, and furnished him money when he needed it to buy up voters in doubt ful "States. The Harriman incident, no doubt, is well remembered. Roosevelt needed a big sum of mon ey to carry New York his way. So he sent for "My Dear Harriman, ' who, like himself, was a "practical man,"- io visit him at the White House. He frankly told Harriman that he needed at $250,000 to put where would do the most good in New York or that State was lost; Harriman, who was-a great Wall Street and railroad magnate, called on the trusts, the railroads; the in surance companies, and, the Wall Street crowd generally, to supply Roosevelt's wants, and the snug Ht ?tle sum of $260,000 was soon raised and turned over to RooBevelt, who it is said used it to buy up 50,000 votes in the city-of New York, and saved the State 'to the Republican party. Roosevelt was himself the beneficiary of this debauchery of the voters of a great State, because he was the Republican candidate for President. Raising this large fund to de bauch the voters of New York for Roosevelt's benefit, made him feel very ? kindly to Harriman, who he then looked upon as a great cham pion of the right and a most des'r able citizens, but, later, when Harri man told of this debauchery of the electoral vote ;of New York for Roosevelt's benefit, he was denounc ed by him as a liar and a "malefac tor of great wealth." Luckily for Harriman, the investigation of the Insurance frauds in New York, ver ified his statements and proved Roosevelt to be the liar. That Is the way that Roosevelt classifies the trusts. Those that will put up the money when he needs it 'to corrupt the voters are good trusts, while those that refuse to do his bidding are the bad trusts. So, because Wall Street refused lo raise him a big corruption fund to use in the late election, be at once denounced it and said it was In league with the Democratic party to defeat him. He knew this was false, but he and his satelltes all over the country kept it going, but they could not fool the -people, who snowed him under to the queen's liaste. Signs of the Times. The political signs of 'the times points to the election of a Democrat ic President and both 'branches of Congress in 1912. The two leading candidates for the Republican nomi nation for President 'two years hence are Senators LaFollette , and Cum mins. They are the leading Repub lican Insurgents, and the rosult cf the late eleotion will give thern great strength In the National Re publican Convention. Neither Taft or Roosevelt will be in 'the running, as they were both knocked out the box in their respective State6 by the Democratic laudslide, while LaFol lebte and Cummins held their States in the Republican column in spite of It. With the late Republican defeat in the Tastern states, the strength of the Insurgent leaders of the West will be enhanced as 'the faction that can bring victory out of defeat. But .the Insurgents will, find that the business element of the Republican party will fall to support a radical candidate of the Cummins or LaFol letrte type and without such support the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, Maine, and prob ably some other Eastern states would jawing towards Dem)ocracy on the state rights and tariff issues. This was indicated very plainly In the late election, when they all went Democratic by large majorities. Roosevelt said during the cam paign that if he was defeated he would continue to fight for his new nationalism, which, according to Mr. Plnchot, will be more radical in fu ture than it is now All ttils will have more or less effect on 'the Re publican campaign for the presiden cy. In any event new lines will have to be constructed during the coming year, for the New Nationalism and the Old Guard will still present two factions that canno* be brought Into sympathy for any probable candi date. It is not too much to expect an open schism In the Republican party with two presidential candi dates in the field. With the Democrats, victorious In the late election, there will be a more complete organization of tar party and much less opportun:'v for Eacttions to develop. Victory and power help to establish unity, unless some great issue arises to divide a party, which does not appear prob able as far as the Democracy :s now concerned. The outlook, there fore, is bright for Democracy. 'f t will only he true to the people.w'.i are looking to It for relief from the burdens imposed on them by the Republicans for the benefit o" the i trusts. The Democracy has had a I sacred trust committed to it. and i: Ishould not falter in its duty. Need of Good lluuds. There is no question of more Im portance lo all the people of a stale than good roads. Dad roads are a continual tax on all the necessities of life that are raised on the farm by increasing the cost of hauling to market. City people as well as the farmers are therefore interested in good roads, for good roads will de crease to* costs of getting to mar ket farm produce. The main roads should bo built by the state, and the county roads should be built by the counties as feeders to the main road, so that eventually there ^will be a good road from each farm to its chief market town. The state of Maryland is building state roads with the prceed8 of $g,000.000 of bonds; and Governor Crothers will recommend <the legislature to pass a bill for a further issue of the same amount. . ? ':,' Governor Crothers is an enthusi astic advocate of good roads, and is urging a Federation of the County Commissioners of the state to work in unisoa with the State Board. Sometime) ago he recommended the employment of engineers by the county commissioners, and this ad vi?oe has been generally foilfowed. On 'this subject he lately said; "The employment of engineers In so many counties, following in many instan ces upon the step taken by the state for an improved system of highways, illustrates 'the awakening brought about by the love, on the part ot the state. This awakening is most gratifying. It indicates that the counties realize the value of good mads; that they are determined to have business principles in force in getting them." Already the state of Maryland Is ahead of most of the states In the effort for good, roads, and in a few years will have more good roads in proportion to the population than any other state, and the result , will be a great saving in time and, in wear and tear on all travel and hauling. Other States should follow the erample of Maryland. Good roads will do more to advance the prosperity and conveniences of the people of c State than anything that we can think of just now. Tbey will bring a prosperity and happiness to the people who live on the farms, and whatever does that is a bene fit to all. OASSMED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.
