When the Republicans boast
of the things protection has
accomplished, ask them what
it has done for the Coal
Trust, the Food Trust and
the Steel Trust, and the thou
sand and one other Trusts
which are gripping the throat
of the American people to.
day. Remind them that Mr..
Shaw has admitted that the
protective tariff is the parent
of conditions which made
Trusts profitable.

The letter frou, Rutherford
county published in The Post
Of yesterday morning mens
toned the rejection by areg-

he could read and write we'll,
misspelled a word. Thiseri Or
on the part Of the registrar
was so obviously contrary
10 the letter md spirit OF the
law that Chairman Simmons
wrote q letter calling atten-

may he termed an interpret>
alton Of the law for the ben.
eft OF all registrars. Errors
equally as glarmg as that
reported from Rutherford are
stated TO have been made in

There is no need wha tever /,

from any point of view. any

fowelnent to the extent OF
doubtful construction. little
applicant "can read and
write" in a manner equal to
the ability in that respec. of
the ordinary citizen, he is
eligible within the meaning
OF the amendment.
This amendment was pro-
posed, framed and adopted
by the white Democratic
voters OF the State, even
against the organized oppo-
sition OF the Republican par
|ty. This qualification is de.
manded by the public welfare,
but the possession of it en-
titles the person to the privi
lege OF voting, according to
this Democratic law Gnd Dem
ocratic promise. 1t should
be executed in good faith,
not only because it is law
and involves a Democratic
ptedge, but- -0nd this Is OF
vital importance-upon it's
just execution depends the
validity and permaneney of
the constitutional amend
ment itself as a whole.
Chairman Simmons, in his
letter, shows his full regard
for law and for Democratic
integrity, both of which are
involved in and both of
which demand faithful and
intelligent execution of this
amendment. Every registrar
IN the 5 ate is requested to
read Mr.. Simmons letter and
be governed accordingly.

FRIENDLY NEW ORLEANS.

Do you know think the people of New Orleans are the most affectionate- ly disposed lot of psople ever saw" said a man who drops in one the city occasionally from an adjoining State, and 1t is one thing which makes me love the dear old town. should say it is one of the things, for there are many love-inspiring things in this quaint old place. It seems to me that the injunc- tion to love ones neighbor comes near CT being in force here than in any other place with which I am familiar. Men see into be more considerate of each other. They like to make each other feel well. They smile more at each Gth- CT and the smile is not that offensive smirk of hypocrisy we see in other places. It is an honest beam of good nature and an expression of fine fellow ship, and passes at it's full value. It is worth what it is on its face. It is just a good square, honest smile. Men have a more freindly and more cordial way of greeting each other here. They have net allowed the sordid spirit of business to rust and rot the finer virtues. Com- mercialism's corroding influences have been checked by uniform refinement which may be looked upon as a part of the common heritage. I have observed so many little things which indicate finer feeling of fellowship here than you find elsewhere. Men always have time to be gentle and ronsiderate of their fellows. Go where there is more hustle and more rush. and you will find de- piorable decadence in the little ameni- ties which sweeten life so much. Here We will find men and women saying good morning and good night to the street car conductor. The man of busi- ness will tell his barber Go0d-by with show of affection worthy of his own child. He will treat the bark5 eper after the same affectionately polite fashion. Do you find these things in other places? Not as far as my experience goes. They are too much absorbed in the coarser things of bosiness in other places. They haven't time to be gentle. They must go away in jiffy. Yet one may find these little things wound into all the wool and warp of this dear old city's life. and reasoning a priori, we see the spIendidly refined inherency which thus daily manifests itself in so rnany charming little pleasantries. There is no way of telling how much :Lese little things add to life. It makes tho world better to observe these things
 A little affectionate ring in the tone of ones voice when enc says goodnight, or good morning, or good-by. may hep somewhat in cheering a dropping spirit. and, indeed. it often changes the whTe aspect of life for the while. The pity is that the custom is not more univer- sa!."-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

EngIand's King.

From OCT the blue green shining sea
 Where gray mistS gather OCT the sandss And shore-waves foam in widest glee, Glad echoes come from BritaiR'S lands. Dread fear had raised it's darkened wing; The hours have cast their weeping down, But glad hopes gather round the king; The king fair England waits to cr0wn. From shore to fields where hedges bloom, With hope again the echoes ring The glad cries blend with oceans moan. While boatmen shout for AlbIOn'S king. From sanded shore to inland town
 The floating echoes drift again;- Where crowds have cast their labOrs down To list the tidings of the king. From gilded home; from palace walls, So faint but glad the tidings come; The king has passed from dangers thralls; The king may live to wear his crown! Faint are the words the heralds bring, But strong the hearts that hold the strain; In gladdened ring. the people sing, For AlbtOn'S king; fair Englands king. And glad and bright the red fires glow From COrnwall's rocks to LOndOn's town; While people shout the words they know;- The king may live to wear his crown! Der the towns where the glad words come, The night holds day while red fires gleam, And people shout till roseate morn,
 God save the king! Long live the king.
