Thousands of women lead childless, love-

For the Enterprise.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.

1t has never been my DISPOSE
ton when a political campaign
was going on to sit on the fence.
| have always enrolled myself as
an outspoken partisan on this or
that side or for this or that man.
But this time | have no candi-
date; none of the men who are
running suit me.
Before the campaign opened,
when | thought McLaurin, Evans,
Maytield.and possibly Irby would
be in the race, l thought that in
spite of my dislike of his tariff
views and of some other things
about him, McLaurin would be
the candidate for whom | would
vote. But when Duncan entered
the race-or, rather, announced
himself as candidate, for he is
not in the race at ALL imagined
that | smiled a ring, or a kind Of
conspiracy and promptly climb
ed up on the topmost rail of the
fence to await future develop
ments. And now that | am up
here, | rather, like the position.
1t is good to be where you can see
things as they are, unbiased by
partisan feeling. If you get tired
OF sitting there all you've got to
do is to get down

as here AT home, as a strong man.
1t may be, however. as Irby
charges, that something besides
these things helped him to rise
that his protectionism helped to
make him popular with the con
trolling element up there. For
say what you will, McLaurin is
protectionist-a mild one it is
true but still a protectionist-a
protectionist from principle-for
projections sake. | have been
asked how could object to these
things in Mcl.aurin and still en-.
dorse Tillmah. TO this | have
replied that do not endorse
Tillman's vote in favor of tariff
on cotton, lumber, and so on.
But the ground TilIman occupied
was quite different from that oc-
cupied by McLaurin. Tillman
doesn't care how high tariff the
Republicans put on, for he be
lieves that the higher it is the
quicker the country will rid itself
of it. With this | agree, but do
not believe any Democrat should
have any hand in making it high.
He believes further that while we
have protection we should demand
our share of it. With this | do

per before, we should keep our
hands off the whole business.
Policy,if nothing else. it seems to
me, should make us pursue this
course. How can one elliectuallv
fight protection and having it all
the time thrown in his face that
he too is protectionist when he
fancies that his own State would
be benefited by it? But this is
all merely a difference of opinion;
1T is not a difference of principle.
But even if it were matter of
principle, one can look over a
wrong principle in Tillman that
could not BE- excused in any less
able and useful man.
Protection is wrong-wrong in
principle and wrong in policy {:
Wrong in principle, because it is
nothing more nor less than a spe-
cies of robbery and wrong in
policy. because though it helps a
small minority it does it at the
expense of the vast majority.
There is no possible way under
Gods heaven for it to benefit the
people as whole, and especially
the agricultural classes, and more
especially still, the agricultural
classes of the South.
Another objection | have to
McLaurin-but this is not a seri-
GUS one-is that il has always
seemed to me that since he has
been big enough to stand alone,
politically speaking, he has gone
around with chip on his shoul-
der. like to see man indie
pendent, don't like to see him
wearing any mans collar but his
own, but that is no reason why
he should assume defiant atti
tude toward the other leaders of
his party or faction.
My opinion of John Gary is
precisely the same now that it
was when he and Earle were can
didates last summer. and if that
race were to be run over now
would pursue the same course
that | did then that is, support
Earle the best knew how, but
always treating Evans with fair
ness and respect, and pleading
with others to do the same. | did
not believe then and do not be
Iieve now that there was any
truth in the charges that were
made against his honesty-believe
that they were false, and that all
that part of the fight that was
made against him was infamous
and outrageous. And I'll venture
to say that it cost many a Re
former hard struggle to smother
his partiSanship and follow his
conscience and vote for Earle
while the Conservatives, aided
and abetted by that political
mountebank, John Duncan, were
so bitterly abusing and bemean.
ing a member and leader of their
faction as they were Evans. And
I'll venture to say further that
many Il one of these Relormers
will not stand that kind of thing
again,if that kind Of fight should
be made again-for there is no
Earle In the race this time.
Evans is man of far more
ability than many people have
ever given him credit for; he is
not merely tool and "me too"of
Tillman's, as his enemies say he
is, who can do and say nothing
but what Tillnan tells him to.
