The new constitution does not get rid of fraud. It in no manner promises us the boon of honest elections. The same conditions remain and the same methods must continue. The incentive for fraud Is not removed but remains in more dangerous and centralized form. The ne- groes eligible to registration out number the whites in all black belt counties, ac- cording to the last census. We will never get rid of election frauds. even approxi- mately, until the incentive, the necessity for fraud is removed. This devils night mare, this grievous necessity put upon us by the cruel hand of war must be stricken with death blow.

WAS AGGY A REBEL1

TO De rebel a man must be in re-
/ volt against his own country JEFF Davis
and his associates were at the time of
their revolt citizens of the United States.
Two things were essential to bring
them within Websters definition of a
rebel. They must be in revolt, and their
revolt must be against the country to
which they owed allegiance; in brief
they must be in revolt against their own
, country
TO illustrate: jeff Davis was an Ameri-
can citizen in revolt against his
government.
Few, II any. of those people who have
| been pleased to call Aguinaldo rebel
would be willing to concede that he was
ever an American citizen.
II he has never been an American citi-
zen, it would seem difficult to explain
just how he could rightly be considered
a rebel. He has undoubtedly been in
revolt, but not against his own country.
His country is the Philippine islands,
and he has never revolted against those
islands.
Viewed from British standpoint. the
United States in 1776 were in rebellion.
we were all rebels, but the distinguish
ing feature that marked us as rebels was
the unquestioned fact that up to that
date we had acknowledged our allegi-
ance to Great Britain.
Aggy has been dubbed a rebel by the
dominant political party in this country
to create public prejudice against him
and his followers, and furnish excuse for
perpetrating outrages upon him and his
people, nowhere tolerated in the civilized
world except as against rebels, traitors
or spies.
! The world recognizes a wide distinc-
ton between. the treatment due citizens
OF two nations at war with each other.
where both are entitled to equal and
well recognized rights of war, and the
! treatment usually meted out to rebels
traitors Or spies. These latter classes
are regarded as outlaws, entitled to no
rights; may be hunted like wild beasts
captured and hung or shot without cere-
mony.
This is the reason why Aggy and his
followers have been called rebels. It
mas been done to induce the American
people to wink at shooting niggers on
the run" in the Philippines.

Some suggestions Concerning Farm

Editor Representative: Those who
take interest enough in farmers organi-
cations to read the plan outlined by the
constitution and bylaws of the North
western Grain Growers association

primary or educational move, and
through it's success will spring up other
and more complete forms of organiza-
ton. Once let the farmers be educated
to see the direct benefits to be obtained
BY cooperative effort in disposing of
their products, and they will be able to
formulate plans of action that will make
them masters of the situation
While l firmly believe all redress for
wrongs under our intended form of rep

perience that it is dangerous to allow

Now, we must try and so shape our

Democrat. We the inclined to a differ.
ent view of this important change 1t
seems more reasonable to us that Mr..
Abbott found himself subject too much
tc dictation from high-up Democrats,
got disgusted with the company he was
forced to keep, realized that his brain
was playing second fiddle to Hearst's
dollars, and concluded he preferred in
tellectual independence even if accom-
panied with smaller salary. In our
opinion Mr.. Abbott's change means a.
defense of his own manhood and we re-
joice that he possessed the requisite
nerve to prefer manhood before salary.

BASIS Of THE MONEY QUESTION.

BASIS OF THE MONEY QUESTION.
In recent issue of the Commoner
Mr.. Bryan says:
The readers, of the Commoner are
we'll enough acquainted with the money
question to know that the quantitive
theory is the basis of the science of
money Other things being equal, the
value Of the dollar depends upon the
number OF dollars, an increase in the
volume OF money increasing the prices,
and decrease in the volume of money
decreasing prices"
Mr.. Bryan has here stated the belief
of every Greenbacker. Every one who
advocates scientific money stands firmly
upon the identical principles here laid
down.
1t seems to us extremely illogical and
inconsistent when Mr. Bryan adds:
This is the foundation of all argu-
ment made in behalf OF. bimetallism"
1t would be interesting to know lust
how any of these hard money men ex-
pect to keep the volume of money con-
stant when the production of both gold
and silver is purely accidental. With
the production of the money metals
sometimes increasing and sometimes di-
minishing, they expect the quantity of
money to remain constant and preserve
prices. Is there anything scientific
about such theory? Could ANYTHING
be more absurd? They expect the meas
ure to swell and contract by chance
discovery of every mine and still al
ways measure the same. This is the
ideal, the expectation, the hope of all
bimetallists, as we'll as monometallists.
The only possible difference between the
advocates of those two standards Is
difference Of degree. Both are alike if
not equally subject to chance The pro-
duction of all metals is a variable uuan
tity and therefore unreliable as a basis
for money. If the quantative theory of
money is sound. as Mr.. Bryan here
states, then the only way to put the
theory into practice is to cut loose from
all metals. cut loose from all chance. use
paper and keep in circulation by law
uniform per capita number of dol

Scientific money is the only kind of
