Those Who Drank Are Dead.

Senator Chauncy M. Depew said In
a talk to railroad men: twenty-five
years ago l knew every man, woman
and child in Peekskill, and it has been
study with me to mark Joys who
started in every grade of life with N.Y.
self to see what had become of them
l was up last fall and began to count
them over, and it was an instructive
exhibit.
"Some of them became clerks. mer-
chants, manufacturers, lawyers and
doctors. 1t is remarkable that every
one living Of my age. Barring a few
who were taken off by sickness, every
one that proved a wreck and wrecked
his family did it from rum and no
other cause.
"Of thuse who are church going
people, who are steady. industrious,
and are hard working men, who were
frugal and thrifty, every single one Of
them, without exception, owns the
house in which he lives and has some
thing laid by, the interest on which,
with his house, would carry him
through many rainy day. When a
man becomes debased with gambling
or drink he doesn It care-all his inner
feelings are crowded OUT"

ballot box ButcherY" is the cap
ton the st. Louis Po't-Dispatch gives
to the returns Of the voting In the
Fourth ward of that city at the late
municipal election. In November,
1900, the democratic candidate for
governor received 1,640 votes In the
ward and the republican candidate
], 3e3-a total of 1923. In the mum
icipal election the democratic candi-
date, received 8, 125, or SO votes more
than we're polled in a presidential
election, while the republican candi-
date received l64 votes. The Post
Dispatch is not a republican paper,
but, even with its democratic bear
ings, it cannot shut its eyes to such a
glazing outrage upon popular elec-
lions.

The Hon. Charles A. Towne, who
may be remembered in connection
with bifurcated nomination for the
vice-presidency of the United States,
bobs his head out of the sea Of obliv-
ion long enough to remark that he is
still democrat. And he has been
about as still democrat since the un-
pleasant occurrences of the fall Of
1900 as was the Hon. David b. Hill
during the summer of 90.

Now with the keenest appreciation
of the Southern white mans feeling
at having the ignorant black man
once his slave. setting himself up, "
so to say, can not our Southern friends
bring themselves to feel that the little
annoyances of life do not deserve
shooting on the spot" and that q
black man s rights under the Law. can
be granted without danger Of a SER
vile insurrection or social equality?
Our brethren of the South, we YER
itably believe, are hysterical on this
point. AS the younger among them
come up to the ordering Of affairs, We
trust they will not haYc this mania SO
keenly developed. For it must spb-
side and cool conduct and rational
views prevail before this eternal ques-
tion ever ceases from troubling In
dlanapolIs News.

Legislatures Of western states have
been generally active the past winter
in passing laws to drive out of exist
ence the "home cooperative, /" "dia-
mond tontine" and installment bond"
companies and others of their class.
The essential characteristic of all
of these companies is that they attract
investors on the weekly or monthly
payment plan by promising profits at
rate that can be automatically
shown to be impossible. Where they
are not deliberate swindles their only
hope Of success lies in the forfeiture Of
the contributions Of many of the SUBJ
scribsrs for the benefit of a few.

The per capita circulation Of the
United States at the beginning of the
present month, according to the treas
ury figures was s29, "a. There was a
slight decline in March, but in the
twelve months ended with March
there was a large gain. At the be-
ginning of April, 1908. the total
amount Of money In circulation in this
country was %, 351, 757, 943. This
showed a gain Of 500, 700, 900 in the
twelve months. Less gold coin is in
circulation nov, to the extent Of 3d.
600, 900, than a year ago, but more
gold circuiates IN the form Of certis
ficates, to the extent Of s64, 900, 900,
than then. Other forms Of currency

Cool-headed members Of the cabinet
declare there is no more danger OF
trouble with Germany than of trouble
with England or France or Russia.
The fiction or theory OF an impending
conflict has been nurtured in the inn
agination. They say the German en-
peror has given this country ample
and sincere proof of his pacihc and
friendly intentions and that as to the
warmth of feeling existing between
the German and American people, Of
course, there can be no question.

The lawyers in the Moses Fowler
Chase case may know what they are
fighting for and how court can help
either Of the contending parties toget
possession of the young mans prop
erty, but the public does not. The
fact that a min is insane, as young
Chase undoubtedly is, does not divest
him Of the property to which be was
legally entitled before he became in
sane. No court can divest him Of his
property, nor can he convey or be-
queatn it. Probably the wisest thing
the court could DC in this case would
be to appoint . guardian for the

A Colorado court has decided that
when an employer hires a man to take
the place of striker he must take the
responsibility Of any damage for In
jury which may be received at the
hands of violent strikers, unless at the
time of his employment the employer
notifies him of his peril. Thus does
the court seem to recognize the pro-
priety of the violence to which the
employe subjects himself by taking
the place of a striker.

w. E. Curtis, of the Chicago Re-
cord Herald, has discovered that the
democrats of the South are weary OF
Organism and desire the old brand Of
democracy. He makes the surprising
statement that "the proportion of
professional politicians is greater in
the South than in the North" and
that "the business element, generally
speaking, believe in the doctrines
taught by the republicans and vote
the democratic ticket because it is a

MARksWtLE. LOUISIANA
A Progressive Town With Many Advan.
tages and Bright Future.

We are in possession Of copy of
the New Orleans Picayune, of Mon
day, April Is. giving description of
the growing town of Marksville, La,
where Leroy Staley Is located.
The town has 1000 inhabitants, a
large number of business houses, good
schools and churches, lodg yes of Masons.
Odd Fellows and other benevolent So
cieties, good bank. good newspapers,
a cotton gin that handled 1900 bales
of cotton last season, and another that
handled almost 900 bales. a large
brickyard. prominent physicians, law
yers and other professional men and
intelligent. progressive and courteous
ly disposed people in the city and sur
rounding country. The Picayune
says:
Marksville is ranked among the
most progress. i've towns in the state,
its advantages are inferior to none,
and its future possibilities are most
flattering. To cite complete list of
the many attractive features of the
town would involve many hours Of
hard labor.
Marksyille is the county seat of the
Parish of Avoyelles, and is situated on
the Marksville branch of the Texas
and Pacific Railroad.
The town is in the midst of one of
the finest cotton-producing sections of
Louisiana, and thousands of bales are
handled annually by her merchants
and cotton factors. The parish has
some of the finest timber lands in the
country.
Marksyille has made rapid strides
in progress during the past few years.
They have erected a handsome, new.
two-storv brick courthouse, also new
Jail with all modern, up-to-date ap-
pliances.
Two large cotton gins, brickyard,
also an electric light plant, are among
the many advantages to be found here.
The MarkSville Electric Light and
Power Company, Limited, have erect
ed an up-to-date plant here at a cost
of $1,000. The equipment consists of
two Bullock direct current generators,
one Skinner engine, and one 100. horse
power boiler. This plant furnishes
light and power for the town.
Here is located the main Office of
the Avoyelles Telephone Company,
Limited. This company operates
long-distance metallic circuit lines in
Avoyelles Parish, connecting with the
Cumberland Telegraph and Telephone
Company to New Orleans. and all
cities In the north and east.
The Avoyelles Land Company have
magnificently appointed offices here.
This company has purchased 109, 900
acres of land in this Section, which
they propose dividing into sections and
selling to farmers at a small figure.
The land is adapted to the cultivation
of cotton, cane. corn and every va
riety of vegetables. Mr.. Leroy Staley.
the reeident manager, is from Plym-
outh, Ind, and practical agricul-
turist of the hustling kind. The
company is to be congratulated upon
its engagement of a man so thorough
ly competent and active.

The national capital is known as "a
city of night universities. It's esti-
mated that 1000 young men and
women are in Washington working for
the government from 9 to 4 O'Clock
every day and going to universities or
colleges after the close Of the govern
ment offices. One of the largest edu-
cational institutions in the city is
largely dependent upon students OF
this class.

AS a result of the recent riots In
Joplin, Mo-, more than five hundred

of her home having been smashed and
the doors wrenched from their hinges

The South Bend papers are unan-
imous IN supporting Mayor Fogarty
in Ibis veto OF the Franchise granted
the Chicago & Air Line railway. No
compensation, the use of too many
streets for electric lines and failure
to guard the city's interests, because
of the loosely drawn ordinance were
the principal reasons given by the may
or for his veto.

Why does Lieuteaant-G Governor Lee
object to appearing before the St.

good citizen is eager to aid in the en-

IT'S passing strange, but meantime
Mr.. Lee stays out of the courts juris-

The elections by the Legislature
at the approaching session are not
many it is true, but they should be
disposed of as early in the session as
possible SO that the members NAV
get down to business and get
through. The dispensary commits
sloner and a chairman and two
members of the board of directors
are to be elected. A State librarian
IS also to be chosen. The others to
be elect d are members Of the board
OF directors of the penitentiary.
Mr.. II. H. Crum. the present com.
missioner, will not be a candidate
and 1t IS understood that MIR. w. O.
Tatum, of Orangeburg, and Mr.. w.
y. Black, of Barnwell, will be can-
dldates for the position. Mr.. J. L.
Williams will not be candidate for
reelection as chairman of the board
OF directors, and Mr.. Willie Jones
was appointed with the understand
ing that he would not be a candi-
date. That leaves only Mr.. II. II.
Evans, of the present board, a call
didate, land he will run for chairman.
We have heard of no opposition to
MI. Evans, as chairman, but for
members Of the board several candi-
dates have been announced.
We had hoped Miss La Borde, the
State librarian, would have no op-
position, as she is efficient and has
served only one term, but we learn
there will be several young ladies
aspiring to this position. 1t may
be they are getting in shape to run
the next time.
We hear that Gov. Hayward will
recommend that the salary OF the
dlspcnsary board be increased from
$500 to $500 per year. That
scarcely seem snecessary as there are
always plenty Of candidates although
$500 is merely a nominal salary and
totally inadequate to pay men to
handle and look after three million
dollar business.

THE SOUTHERN'S SCHEDULE.
+. II. AUI.I., EDITOR.

The Herald and News has re-
marked before that the change oi
schedule made some time ago was
the best the Southern had given us
in a long time. 1t gives the people
an opportunity to go and get back.
The only possible objection which
could be urged to it by any one in
this community is that the morning
mail from Columbia and Charleston
is delayed few hours, but this is
not to be compared to the advantage
which this schedule affords those
who travel, and that after all should
be the chief purpose in arranging a
passenger schedule. The conven-
ience of passengers should not be
made secondary to the despatch Of
mail from few points, especially
when the mail is delayed so little.
Mr.. Welles says that the figures OBJ.
tanned show that the present sched-
ules are more satisfactory to the
travelling public. Then why talk
or think about changing them? We
believe the statement is true and the
schedules have not been in force
long enough to be given fair test
or to tell whether or not the kicks
which come are we'll founded. Let
them stay OH long enough to be
tested. GreenviIle and Columbia
should certainly favor these sched-
ules, and we can see no reason for
Greenwood to enter protest Let
the present schedules stand.
