C. flfee print paper" trust nave ad vanced the price of print paper near Jy tea-per cent, since the new tariff -vest into effect. ' President Taft was beaten tc a frazzle, as Teddy would say, In Ohio in the late election. The Democratic majority is now put at 104,000 in that State. The people have called the Demo cratic party to power to get relief from the tariff, and if the party failB to g^lve it to them it may expect de Xeat at the next elecion. The Press club of Des Molnes, la., gave Senator Lafayette Young a ban quet Senator Cummins and Gov ernor Carroll attended and the lion and the lamb reBted comfortably tor gether. The killing of those young lads near Bennettsville, an account of which is published on the first page, Is a most mysterious affair. We be lieve they were murdered. Like most thinzs the auto contrib utes to one's enjoyment and often profit when used aright, but with the ?reckless or unprincipled is proves too often a curse. Joy riding has been responsible for many deaths. If the Democratic party wants to lose all the advantage it won by the recent landslide all it has to do is to turn the party over to those in its ranks who have been voting the Re publican ticket for the last sixteen years. He who expects or waits upon any legislature or congress to remove all inequalities and reform all abuses is a much mistaken man. Not only that, but in waiting for political remedies for every 111 he fails to do what lies in his own power.to do'to .snake things better around him. ? Long after its present critics shall nave passed away "Home, Sweet Home" will be sung in every civiliz ed lan 3 with throbing heart and breaking voice, and Its sentiments find a lodgment in the breast of ev ery wanderer who cherishes loving (thoughts of hds far away home. It is really, wonderful what one can do; if he is so disposed, in help ing his own neighborhood. It re quires no act of congress or legisla tive action to speak a good word for his town, aid improvements, support its merchants and make his. own premises a pattern for others to copy. The Baltimore Sun, which support . ed Taft two years-ago, has-suddenly developed a passionate desire to do something for the Democratic party, bnt like most of the papers of ita felnd displays ignorance of the prin ciples of the party and proposes an undemocratic plan for helping the party.' It wants a conference of lead ers?oh the aristocratic theory that Hie leaders do the tlhnking for the people. A Massachusetts farmer, having raised about 103 bushels of corn on an acre of ground claimed the world's record for corn production as to acreage. He hadnt heard of the record of Jerry Moore, the 17-yeir old South Carolina boy who produc ed 228 bushels per acre, nor of the -achievement of Miss Hannah Plow den, the 15-year-old Clarendon coun ty girl, who raised 120 bushels per acre herself. Perhaps that educator was right ?who said that "Home, Sweet Home ' | is "a wooden song, awful, from a musical standpoint." That same charge has been made aganst 'The | Star Spangled Banner," "America," | "Dixie" and other popular son?s. i But what of it? Someway or other i in spite of their musical and other defects they srike a popular chord, appeal to sentiment, and awaken tender reminiscences. The son or daughter who forgoes long cherished ambitions to stop j home and care for the aged parents, the patient, uncomplaining wife ?whose life is full of sorrow and pain because of some drunken, worthless husband, the mother whose heart is breaking by reason of the wayward-! ness of her boy, yet who bears her > sorrow alone?these all are heroes even thou?h their actions may not be recorded in the pre?s nor thoir breasts decorated with medals. It is sirnificanL that in these days in advancing the temperance cause the business argument is presented far more than it used to be while the mor.il argument is not relatively so prominent, though still much in evidence. Of course, this is because employers as the result of their ex perience demand men of clear mind and steady hands to do their work. Many a man to whom the moral question would appeal but little be comes an earnest advocate of sobrie ty when it is a matter of dollars and $1.50 .75 .40 The Oregon Plan. Defending the Oregon plan before a Philadelphia gathei ng Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., declared the Initiative aiid referendum to be "the keystone of the arch of popular gov ernment," and set forth in detail the reason for his belief, analyzing as wtll as the other features of the Ore gon system. ?In his address Senator Bourne ar gued that the initiative educates and! develops the people by compelling them to study public questions and placing upon them responsibility for all laws. It gives every man an op portunity to submit his ideas to the people, providing eight per cent of them believe his ideas v'Drthy of Bub mission to popular vote; thus the j speaker argmed, there Is a tendency to lift all the people to the plane of the most advanced. "Laws proposed under the initia tive," said Senator Bourne, "are not subject to amendment, and therefore cannot be made the means of enact ing 'jokers' ao has often been done in the case of measures enacted by the legislature. Legislative black mail and grants of special privilege are made impQssibJe by the referen dum. The people of Oregon are sat isfied with their system of direct leg islation; and it has not been un reasonably expensive." Oregon has elected three United States senators by popular vote. Explaining the mann or in which a Democrat was elected senator in Ore gon, which is a Republican state, Senator Bourne said that fifty-one per cent out of ninety members of the Oregon legislature bad subscrib ed to what is known as the "state ment No. 1" pledge, in which a mem ber of the legislature pledges himself to the people to always vote for that candidate for United States senator who has received the largest number of votes for that office at the general election. In pursuance of such pledge the legislature elected a Democrat who had received the largest num ber of popular voteB. Senator Bourne advocated extending the direct prim ary to the election of candidates for president and vice president and of delegates to national conventions, thus relieving .presidents of any ob ligations to men who make and man ipulate conventions. Served Them Right. ?Two slick rascals got what they richly deserved in the court of gen eral sessions in Spartanburg on last Saturday. S. Tineburg and D. Cope I land are the names of the two men. They represented themselves as spe cialists and sold glasses and eye medicine . in Spartanburg County. I They had represented themselves as Drs. Caihoun, of Atlanta, and Gantt, of Spartanburg. It was brought out on the trial that Dr. Cai houn was dead and that Dr. Gantt was a woman. It was also brought out in the tes timony that the two me'i called at the home of J. H. Atkins, near Hol ly Springs, several weeks ago. One represtnted that he was Dr. Gantt of Spartanburg and introduced the oth er as Dr. Caihoun, an eye specialist of Atlanta. They said they heard that 'Mr. Atkln's 6-year-old son had trouble with his eyes and thought that as they happened to be in that part of the country Mr. Atkins might like to engage the professional ser vice of Dr. Caihoun. Mr. Atkins did engage the "doc tor" and the latter gave the child some spectacles and also an alleged eye lotion. After they had left Mr. Atkins told Dr. Morrow, his family physician about it. When Dr. Mor row examined the medicine he found that it was of no possible use for eyes and asserted a belief that the men were imposters. They were con victed and sentenced to one year's imprisonment and $50 fine on thai charge. Just as Bryan Said. Last June when The Commoner urged Ohio Democrats to nominate a candidate for senator, John R. Mc Lean, through his Washington Post and CincinnattI Enquirer objected and denounced Bryan for "interfer ing" in Ohio politics. The Common er stated at the time that Mr. Mc Lean objected to senatorial nomina tion for the reason that he desired to be a candidate himself and pre ferred to ri?k his chances with the legislature rather than with the peo ple. It was denied at the time that I Mr. McLean intended to become a candidate, but time has justified The Commoner's warning. Mr. McLean Is a full fledged candidate and an or ganized effort is now on foot to persuade the Democratic legislature of Ohio to elect a monopolist to the I Unlr.ed States senate. McLean is no Democrat, and the Democrats of Ohio I cannot afford to send him to the United States Senate as their repre sentative. Why He Doesn't Want Him. The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Republican, who has not learned that the war is over, in re viewing the reasons why Senator Lodge should not be elect?d, says thai, he Is "a silent favorer of the Lee statue in Rebel uniform, In sulting the Union soldiers at Wash itnion?against which, if polled, Massachusetts would vote, heavily." The Columbia Record says "down this way we have been inclined to hope that Mr. Lodge would be re tired, as he has nothing but intellec tuality to commend him to us and we are still ?o inclined. If Massachu setts really desires to bo reprosont ed by a Hoyburn, instead of Lodge, there is really no reason why the rest cf the republic, or any portion of it, should object at all." Foolish Custom. Very recently in one of our cities a newly married couple were seized by some of their foolish friends, chained, put in a cage and driven though the streets, aceomnnnied by a crowd of shouting laughing peo ple. The officious friends doubtless ccr.sldered it rare fun, but every decent peerBon must regard such ac tion as coarse horseplay, humiliating t the victims and a di?;rao t* those who indulge in? them. One can eas ily imarfne the feelings of any self respecting young couple subjected to treatment that must outrage their sense of modesty. What there is in the marriage state- to call forth such foolish actions is beyond our com prehension.^ . Certainly, those who perpetrate them cannot have a very exalted idea of it.
