Let us hope that the ship subsidy steal has been put to sleep for all time. Senator Simmons of North Caro lina is being called on by his constit uents for an explanation of his vote for Lorimer. 1 Bailey said he resigned because he ?was opposed to the "recall" in the Arizona constitution, but he "re called" his resignation all right. When the truth comes out, as iv wiH sooner or later, it will be founa that the "interests" were behind that army maneuvre on the Mexican bor der. The money power of the United States is behind the rush of those twenty thousand troops to the Mexi can border. It has interests in Mex ico it wanted protected. Harriman's heirs paid to the Stater of Utah nearly one million dollars inheritance tax. Every State in the Union ought to levy this tax. It is one tha t can't be dodged. The Times and Democrat believes in the Democratic party and Its mis sion, but thinks It would be of great er benefit to the people if it would rid itself of the trust sewers in its ranks. The Spartanburg Journal says it is reported that Governor Blease 'bursts into tears and reaches for a pardon blank every time a piece of original poetry is sent in from the penitentiary. . An exchange says of all the lame ducks that have been chased out of Washington, Ballinger is the lamest, the worst crippled, battered and ?bruteed. Yet it is said he threatens to sue some one for damages. 1 -* The State says "it is conceded that the record made by Jerry Moore of Winona, in the production of corn on. one acre, has given South Caro-j Una the greatest amount adver tising than has been received from any other source in years." ? The South is particularly Interest ed in the fact that vegetables and cottonseed oil are both put on the free list by the removal of rather heavy duties on both by the reciprot ity treaty proposed with Canada and which will be passed at the extra session. Charleston is to be congratulated on raising the one hundred and fifty thousand dollars she started out to raise to build a Young Men's Christ ian Association hall for the use of her young men. It Is a splendid In vestment and will pay the old city a handsome Interest in the years to come. It is estimated by those who are in a position to know, that $300.000 less has been sent out of the State for th? purchase of corn the pas., season than for the same season for years. This $300,000 was put in corn that was raised at home. We will do even better than that next season. The Spartanburg Herald says h would like to print within the com ing w;ek a series of articles upon the subject: "The Advantages of Spartanburg." That beautiful Pied mont city has so many advantages, that ve feel sure the Herald will have more articles than it will have room :o publish. The leader of the Democratic mi nority in the Senate is apt to be John Sharp Williams. He was for several years the leader of the Dem ocratic minority in the House be fore be resigned to become a candi date lor the Senate. Williams is a true blue Democrat, and would make a good leader for the Senate Demo crats. Greenville is doing a?l she can to keep up with her neighbor, Spartan Iburg, but she finds it hard work. Greenville lost her grip about thirty five years ago, when she let Spartan burg capture what was then known as the Asheville railroad. That gave Spartanburg the supremacy, which she will hold to the end. with ever increasing importance. Spartanburg should erect a monument to Major D. R Duncan for giving her this great advantage. Las: week Atlanta entertained President Taft, Ex-President Roose velt and Gov. Woodrow Wilson at the same time. They all made speeches at the Southern Congress. Judge Hillyer, who signed the li cense for Wilson to practice law in Atlanta ^several years ago, in re ferring to the speeches of the three distirguished visitor said: "Last evening we listened to a man who has been president; this evening we shall hear a man who Is president, but we have with us this morning a man who is going to be president." Young Men of ihe South. The future of the South is in the keeping of her young men. She is going to 'be just what they make her. ! This is a grave responsibility, and i every young man should strive to | qualify himself as best he can, so as he can do his full share in the great work of building up our beloved Southland. Two strong appeals have recently .been made to the young men of the South from two entirely different sources. In his address at Atlanta President Tai't said: "I earnestly appeal to the young men of the South to take up these and other political is sues from a broad and liberal standpoint, to eliminate from their consideration narrow parti sanship and sectionalism, and to come fully into our national coiu mun^on with the patriotic pur pose of stimulating the progress of our civilization in every direc tion, maintaining our country's prosperity and accumulating its wealth, but always in subordina tion to higher ethical standards, and to the promotion of righteous ness and justice." The President, of course, speaks from the view point of a Republican, and his idea of looking at political is sues from a "broad and liberal standpoint" is to accept the doctrines and policies of that party, but this he will never live to see the young men of the So' th do. Occasionally, one may be found who is willing to sell out his birthright for a mess of pottage, but the great mass of the young men of the South are as true as steel, and no kind of inducement that may be offered them will cause them to join the political party that has for years been holding up tne masses so as they can ,be plundered by the classes. Our young men are Democrats by birth, inheritance and tradition, and they will remain so. The other appeal to the young men came from Gov. Wilson, of New Jer sey, and was made ii a speech at At lanta the same evening that Presi dent Taft made his tipeech. He said the only safe government was one in which all the people take part and that the Republican party was ex actly opposed to that view. He said there were only two sets of men who can lead in politics, and they were the young men and the men who never grow old. He said: "As I look at the future of the Democratic party, the great need I see is of young men in tue par ty. For a good while, they have attached themselves to the win* ners, but now we have come to the point where the winning par ty is losing out, and we should take our place. I urn a Democrat by derivation and conviction. I am a Democrat because I do not believe the country should be run by trusteeship, but should be run ?by the whole people. The founda tions of Democracy are destroyed when only the substantial people take part in the government. That was the Haraiitonlan theory, and it does not apply today." Gov. Wilson is one of the coming men of the country, and as we see it, his chances for being the next Democratic candidate for President is most excellent. . What is more, we believe he will be elected if he is nominated. Gov. Wilson has been a trainer of young men for many years, and is therefore fully qualified to advise them. He says he is a Democrat, and tells you why. He says the great need of the party at the North is young men, but he says they are now coming In, which is a hopeful sign of permanent Demo cratic victory in that quarter. Luck ily for the South, and the nation as well, the young men of the South are Democrats, and will remain so. Iu the North, it was the reverse, but that condition is being changed, and the young men are now flocking to the Democratic party. They put Maine and other States in the Dem ocratic column last fall, and will hold them there, as chey have at last realized that there is no chance for a young man in the doctrine of con solidation preached by the Republi can party, which stifles all Individual effort. Bryan, the Patriot. The Springfield Republican is not afraid or ashamed to concede the In fluence of Mr. Bryan in molding opinion and in forcing Republican administrations to take advanced po sitions on several big questions. We quote: Age has mellowed William Jen nings Bryan, not to speak of the mitigating effect of the accept ance of his Ideas that were once fought with fiery bitterness. There is both humor and truth in this statement of Mr. Bryan made be fore the Boston City club: "If I ever did think of running again for the presidency?and I do not.? with these two men (Roosevelt and Taft) carrying out so many thing I have advocated, I am afraid some Republican would raise the third-term cry on me, and sa" I had already had two terms of my policies." It is just as well now and then for the un thinking to be brought face to face with the fact that the man best entitled to the copyright on "my policies" lives in Nebraska and not in Oyster Bay, L T. "No. Mr. Bryan is not a candidate for the presidency," says The State. "He may never be again, but the bitterness and injustice still exhib ited by numbers of his opponents in the East and a few of their satel lites elsewhere will not affect the es timate of history of his tremendous influence for goou. In this genera tion no private citizen has made such impress upon the American people: indeed, we might say it had not been done by another a the life of the Republic." Wanted a Fine Church. Great preachers like Wesley and Whitefield did no: feel the need 01 splendid houses of worship for their especial use. They carried on their work of religious and moral teach iug without thought of the cost of the edifices in which they changed to ta'^ie ihe pulpit. They were satis fied to spread the message of salva tion among men in the open fields or under humble roofs. Building funds and questions of architecture were the least of their concerns. A popular revivalist like Moody would speak night after night, if need he, in any available hall or old storage warehouse or freight station. Others like Torrey, whose eloquence and earnestness hnve daily swayed thousands, were content at times, if no other shelter offered, to hold their religious meetings in a tent on some vacant city lots. Their surroundings were of little importance if only they reached the people rin their ministry of the Gospel. The New York World says in set ting so great store upon a magnifi cent temple on the avenue Dr. Aked took different grounds. He has part ed with the congregation in New York city which brought him from England, because it disappointed his hopes of ereGting a huge tabernacle where every Sunday he should preach to crowded audiences. The trustees did not feel justified in undertaking the task of providing a $2,000,000 church building.

Copes to the Cir cuit Bench. Andrew C. Dibble.
