but a valuable privilege. It would seem, how
ever, to the reflective mind that if an Indian
has any rights, it is that of keeping his
children with him, if he so desires. IF they
must be educated, let the teachers be brought
to the pupils. And, by the way, if com
pulsory education is found by the government
to be indispensable among the Indians, why
should it not be equally desirable in regions
nearer home and among the foreign immi-
grants scarcely more civilized than the alb

A lot of rot, North and South. has been writ
ten concerning the late Robert Toombs. 1t Is tor
be expected that the Atlanta Constitution and
other Southern papers would gush over the death
of the unrepentant rebel, but it is disgusting to
find an echo Of the same sentiments in the
North. When the truth has been told Toombs
will be shown in his true light-a hard, narrow
minded s%lave-owner. lacking in those qualitiest
which made his kind great, and far from possess.
ing personal courage. Many very defiant THINGS
are quoted as his sayings. but it is significant to
notice that they were not accompanied by COR
responding action on his part. He waited until
he was safe in Europe before he uttered them.
The simple fact that he returned to this country
and held to his defiance of the general govern
ment is no virtue. 1t simply illustrates the truth
that republics are not only ungrateful but for
getful as we'll.

ers causes hard times, but who is to blamef
Hard times come from still another quarter.
Within the last twelve years many an old
farmer, or mechanic, or merchant, having all
along been counted an honest man, has taken
stock in some gambling enterprise; has in
vested in margins, bought wheat or pork that
he never saw nor expected to see, or has in
vested in town lots that he has no use for, but
on which he expected to double his hard
earned money in a week or so. But wheat,
and pork, and real estate took the other direc-
ton, and his hard-earned money is gone, gone
forever, and he sings hard times. Of course
times are hard with him, but who is to blamef
But, after all, are times hard. except as it is
hard at all times to make a livinge There are
more carpenters and b~ricklayers in every To-
cality than can find steady employment at So
or even So a day; there are more lawyers and
doctors than can find profitable clients and
patients, unless men get sick and 90 to law
just to accommodate the profession. There
are more unskilled laborers in the towns and
cities than can find employment at So or even
81 per day, unless the lawyers or doctors and
others create work for which they are unable
to pay. Yet, after all. most of these find money
enough to attend the circus, or the dime mu-
scum or fancy ball, or to buy tobacco, or beer,
or other personal Injuries. Provisions are
abundant and cheap, 80 that no one need
starve. Times are hard. just as they have
been hard for a thousand years; yet not hard
as they we're twenty to twenty-five years ago,
when a million Of men were engaged in de-
stroying property and lives, and a million Of
women were compelled to live and care for
families without the help Of their husbands
and grown up sons. There is now no occa-
sion to cry hard times beyond the inevitable
decree that a man must work or not eat, and
everybody cannot live in the town or follow
some lucrative profession.

A SPECIAL to the Cincinnati Enquirer re-
ports Postmaster Jones as saying: ri am
faithfully endeavoring to do my duty. 1 am
anxious even to carry out the civil-service
law, although, as a Democrat, l despise it, be-
cause undemocratic. I want to organize my
Office, though, in a way that I will not be re-
quired to speak in a whisper while in it. do
not see that the Democratic party is either ad-
vanced or encouraged by retaining in Office a
class whose sole duty seems to be in the line
of spies and informers." He would not be a
Democrat if he did not despise the civilserv-
ice law. And he and his coparceners of the
Democratic success will continue to despise it
until all Republicans are displaced and Demo
Gratis substituted. Then the law will become
a righteous enactment and all who dare ques-
ton it will be denounced for having denied
the faith. The idea that Mr.. Jones
should swell, and strut, and posture
as anxious to carry out the civil-service rules
is absurd enough to make even Democrats
smile. 1t is quite surprising that one so very
virtuous and charitable should want to whis-
per anything that might not be proclaimed
from the housetop. His reference to spies
and informers, in view of the studied en-
couragement he has given such persons, is
unfortunate. thas been through the services
of spies and informers that the Indianapolis
postofice has been filed with Democrats.

is now nearly eightyyears old" Considering
the amount of business which really needs
attention, it seems hardly worth while for
Congress to waste any time over a measure to
benefit an ex-rebel who is unrepentant though
an octogenarian, and who, if he live to be a
hundred, will be, at heart, as bitter an enemy
to his country as at sixty.

THERE is not a Democrat in the city OF
Cincinnati but knows that the returns from
Precinct A, Fourth ward, were fraudulent,
and in more than one feature. But by the
changing of the total Democratic vote, after
the election, by altering a ''7" to a 49," so as
to make it read 1926 instead of 1926" The
Democratic candidates for the Legislature
were returned elected. The Circuit Court
decided that this rascally trick, by some fell
low who ought to be in prison, must not be
allowed to defeat and reverse the expressed will
of the majority. Taken to the Sapreme Court,
on appeal, a partisan majority on the bench
still, by a conspiracy to hold back the returns,
decided that this fraud, acknowledged even
by the Supreme Court judges, must be count
ed. In his dissenting opinion, Judge Johnson
says:
'The theory that where returns bear the
impress of being false, forged or fraudulent,
when the canvassing board knows they are
stained with crime, and that the courts have
no restraining power, is monstrous. It sub
verts all the powers of al honest vote, and
gives the clerk absolute control. II is a
fundamental principle that every honest citi-
zen and every public officer, however high in
grade, is amenable to judicial control. There
is no remedy at law for a candidate who is
deprived of a certificate of election. His
right to this certificate, if he is legally elect
ed, is clear. A contest is to try the title to
the Office. Mandamus is the remedy to de-
termine the title to the certificate"
