Trusts seem to be having a quiet
time of it these days. Is it the calm
before the storm or does it mean that
the Sherman Act has no terrors for
them?
He who takes the world as he finds
it and helps to lift it into a higher
state, and carries heavy loads with
a light heart is a benefactor to his
fellows.
We would heap rather be poor
like we are, than have the great
richles some men have and assume
the responsibility morally for the way
they made their riches.

The pertinacity and ingenuity dis
played by many bad men in breaking
the law ought to shame many good
but exceedingly weak men who make
no effort to keep the law from being
broken, t
The Times and Democrat advocates
the recall for judges and all other of
ficials, as it doe3 not .believe that any
servant of the people should be plac
ed above their reach in a republic
like ours.
?Fools who rock boats and drown
people by his foolishness will soon
give v?ay to the shooting season and
the fool who shoots people and then
claim that he did not know the gun
was loaded.
It may be truo, as some people
claim, that it is impossible to make
a man good by acts of legislature,
but such acts can make it decidedly
unpleasant, for him to do wrong, and
?that is no small gain.
The ipeopie in this country are do
ing more thinking politically than
they have done in a long time. That
Is a good thing for the more people
think and act for themselves the less
will be the power of political bosses
and the purer will flow the stream of
political life. \
It is a sad thing to have your con
fidence rudely shaken in a man that
you regarded as a true and tried
friend. But such tragedies have tak
en place in all ages of the world,
and will continue to take place as
long as selfishness and ungratitude
finds a place among the children of
men.
An exchange says it may be but a
mere coincidence that the price of
sugar has gone up just at the time
that housewives are making pre
serves, but the same thing happens
every wear. Of course the sugar
magnates and all who deal In sugar
can give reasons in plenty to their
own satisfaction.
We could never understand why
United States judges are pensioned,
while all other civil officers of our
government are not. Judges have no
more right to pensions in a republic
like ours than the janitors who look
after the public buildings in which
the courts are held. The pensioning
of judges should be discontinued.
Illinois is to have a "Fire Preven
tion Day," which will be celebrated
by fire brigade drills, school drills,
thorough investigation of public and
other premises, and instruction as to
preventing and fighting fire . Mil
lions of dollars worth of property
are destroyed each year by fires care
lessly started and because of defec
tive methods of dealing with fires'.
Every once iu awhile someone
prophecies the second coming of
Christ to the earth. It is easy for
anyone with a keen imaginative mind
to so juggle with figures and dates as
;.o honestly deceive himself on this
Question. Instead of wasting time on
sue!; calculations that cannot be ver
ified, it is better to devote one's time
to advancing the spirit of the Christ
among men.
Russia has iaid her strong hand
on Finland and taken a part of that
country and added it to the province
of St. Petersburg. This no doubt
meaui the dismemberment of Fin
land. Russia has no love for liberty
and its whole policy has been consis
tent in crushing out every effort for
true f.C' dom, aiul in annihilating the
inderead nee of nations it has con
quered. In all probability Finland
is to havs the experience of unhappy
Poland.
The Id a held by wrae snobs that
country life is inferior socially or in
any other vay to that of the city is
simple foolishness. It should be in
stilled into :he minds of young peo
ple thajt not only is country life hon
orable, but that in many respects it
is the most honorable and fascinat
ing of occupations because it brings
one-close to nature and, oftentimes,
CiO.-e tu nature's God. The poet was
about right who said that "God made
.the country and man made the town."
Democracy Goes Forward, j
The exeprience meeting recently
held by the governors of twenty
four states up In New Jersey reveal
ed the characters of those who at
tended in a most striking manner.
Some of them seemed to forget that
they live in a country where all po
litical power is lodged in the people,
and that they themselves were indebt
ed to the people for what offices they
held." Among the worst offenders
along this line were Govenor O'Neal,
of Alabam, and Governor Mo.ris, of
Montana, each of whom read dis
tinctly reactionary papers on the ne
cessity for granting more power to
governors of the different States.
"There is a movement that seems
to be gathering strength in certain
sections of the union," said Govern
or O'Neal, "which tends to weaken
] rather than strengthen executive au
! thority, and that is the system of
initiative, referendum and recall. The
governor has no power to veto or
amend law initiated by the people
and adopted -by referendum. If the
law is in violation of the constitu
tion, invades vested rights or de
stroys individual liberty the only
remedy can be found in the courts;
and where the system of recall of
judges prevails, overthrowing as it
1 does the independence of tho judici
ary, .the courts would degenerate in
to tribunals organized chiefly to reg
ister popular judgment on all legal
questions."
He went on to say that the recall
; would "convert the public officer in
to a spineless and servile hireling,
stirred by every passing breeze of
I public opinion, obeying every popular
I impulse and yielding to every wave
of popular passion of prejudice," and
spoke with contempt of the "caprice
, of the majority. He said he would
rather stand with Hamilton and Mad
ison than with some of the prophets
our states are turning out!" he cried.
Let us not forget that the purpose of
government is to limit the power of
; the majority, and of constitutions to
protect the minority from the tyran
ny of the majority. Leaving aside
the initiative and referendum, vhe re
call of judges would surely institute
mob rule." /
Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, led an attack on Governor
O'Neal's position, in which. Governor
McGjvern, of Wisconsin, Governor
Aldrich, of Nebraska, and governors
of other Western States joined: "I
have never seen an instance where
I the registered will of a majority
, could properly be called a caprice,"
I retorted Governor Wilson. "Nor is
the verdict of the majority 'mob rule,'
as it is described by some. A mob is
one thing; thousands of people voting
I in a thousand precincts quite another
thing, and there is no chance for
j confusion of terms. The initiative and
referendum, so much discussed, are
not designed to change our form of
government, but to rejuvenate the
methods of it. Any governor is dig
nified and glorified by goiag to the
' people as the source of his power."
Governor O'Neal as the executive
of a Democratic State is out of place,
and he richly deserve the rebuke ad
' ministered to him by Governor Gil
christ. of Florida, who reminded him
that the caprice of a majority gave
him his job. The confidence of the
people in themselves is increasing;
they are demanding and securing a
firmer hold on their government.
This trend is apparent throughout
the world and it is permanent. Many
men fear that evil will come from
j a nearer approach to a pure democ
, racy, ibut these fears have been ex
pressed every time a step in advance
has been taken?they have proven
groundless before?they will be
again. Men may come and men may
go but democracy goes on forever.
Its principles are becoming more
widely understood each year here
and throughout the world.
Plant More Grain Smith.
The result of the recent election
in Canada made reciprocity a thing
of the past, and, as a result, the
things that were to have benefited
the buyer of grain and the consum
ers of flour and meat will not come
to pass. The defeat of reciprocity
in Canada gives the whip handle to
; the trusts in the United States, and
will cause higher prices for grain,
liour and meat in this country. In
the face of these conditions, as the
farmers of the South consume much
more wheat and other foodstuffs than
they produce, it is essential that they
change tactics and start a new re
gime in farming.
This is an old song, we know.
One that the tanners of the South
have heard over and over again. But
it is true, nevertheless, and the far
j mers of this section will never be
come truly independent until they
adopt it. The Augusta Chronicle,
, in discussing this subject says: "The
fall-time?this fall?is the best time
to begin the work. Plant heaviiy of
joats, especially selected seed and best
I varieties, plant some wheat, some rye
[and barley to help along the live
stock, for they will need it during
the coming winter, and spring and
they will save grain and hay. This
is a lesson that should be easily
learned by the fanners of the cotton
belt, for no matter what the price
of cotton they cannot buy hay and
grain cheap enough to warrant them
i:i buying it.
"it is getting to be a common prac
I tice among the most progressive far
mers to improve their fiHd crops by
I selecting their seed from the most
promising plants. And this is the
only radical means of securing a
gi eater yield per acre and the sooner
this plan is put into universal prac
tice just so soon will our farmers be
come self-sustaining. The land they
cultivate should produce more cot
ton and grain to the acre, and this
can be accomplished only by proper
seed selection, and thorough culti
vation. As soon as the fanner be
gins to pay attention to what he
might term the small and insignifi
cant things that come before him
from day to day, there will open up
an era of prosperity such as he Jjfs
never known before: it has opened to
thousands and the wa; is open to
thousands more. A better day is his,
P is his birth-right, and the sooner
lie takes possession of what is offer
ed the sooner he will become pros
perous and happy.
"The propriety of seed selection
and proper cultivation is being de
monstrated daily by many of our
.Southern farmer wants to do is to en
their yield jup beyond their expecta
tions by following sound progressive
methods in their work. And what
they have done "is; possible for every
farmer to accomplish. What the
Southern farmer wants to d is to en
large his production in the way of
grain crops, thus enabling him to
keep a large number of live stock
which will bring him greater returns,
than trusting to his cotton crop alone.
His salvation lies in a greater diver
jsification in everything that he pro
Iduces." No better advice could be
j given the farmers than the Chronicle
I gives above. If all the farmers of
! the South would follow it, this would
soon become the richest and most
! prosperous section of the South.
