FRIDAY, MARCH 81, 1908.

GOVERNOR FRAZIER sent his first
veto message to the House of Rep
resentive Friday morning on the
bill to create dispensary for
Columbia. The bill was passed after
a two days debate in the Senate,
and as it materially affects the
whiskey question the Governors
action has been waited with consid-
cradle anxiety. The Governor takes
the stand that if it is immoral for a
citizen to engage in the whiskey
business, it is immoral for the mu-
nicipality to do so.
He says: cit will not do to say
that the sale of liquor is immoral
and Injurious and should therefore
be prohibited when it is proposed
to be carried on by the citizen, and
then to say that the State through
its municipal agents will itself
proceed to carry on and monopolize
the business and receive the profits
therefrom. If it is immoral and in.
furious in the one, it is equally so
in tie other" He expresses the
opinion that the operation of the
law would prove serious menace
to the four-mile law, and that it is
indefensible either on principle or a
temperance measure.

Col. Goodwin not an Applicant.

Col. John r. Goodwin, who has
been member of the board OF
trustees of the Western Hospital for
the Insane for the past sixteen
years, has notified Gov. Frazier,
that he can not accept appoint
ment for another biennial term, and
has recommended that John F.
McCallum of Memphis be ap-
pointed to succeed him.
The terms of three trustees of the
asylum expired on the first Monday
in February, but they hold over
until their successors are appointed
Col. J. r. Goodwin, of Memphis,
DR.. Wright, of Huntingdon, and
Hon. A. J. Coates Of Bolivar. Mr..
Coates is chairman of the board of
trustees. Col. Goodwin was one of
the first trustees appointed, and
witnessed the laying of the corner
stone of the first building erected.
He has labored ably and faithfully
for the betterment of the institution.
Immediately after the appoint
ment Of the three new trustees the
board will meet and dispose of
several important matters. They
will consider the purchase of an adj
ditional loo acres of land needed
for the asylum, and the appropri-
alton of sufficient amount to in
sure the asylum buildings.-Com-

A GOOD BEGINNING.

As far as human prescience can 20 in
this stage Of commercial development, a
very good beginning would seem to have
been made in the cure of the evils of
trusts, as far as those are durable by leg
islatiOn.
The courts have been given a law by
which they can punish the giving Of rail-
road rebates, and thus the small producer
is put on an equality with the big corpora
tons in that important particular. He
cannot be Disseminated against and throt-
tied out of business, as he has in the past
by the giant trusts.
The new Department Of Commerce and
Labor has been given quite extensive
powers to investigate the organization and
business methods Of all corporations doing
an Interstate business, and can compel
the testimony Of witnesses having knowl-
edge, and the production Of important
books and papers. The President is au-
thorized to make all the publicity that he
deems wise and needful.
Important cases, involving vital issues.
can be hurried to the Supreme Court, and
there given precedence, which will NOT
only be deterrent of many injurious prac.
tees, but speedily give US decisions that
will settle many mooted questions, and in.
dictate the need and direction Of further
legislation.

THE posr-cHEcK SYSTEM.

Postmaster-General Payne IS q strong
advocate of the poss-check system, and
said in his annual report for last year:
Millions of our people live more or less
remote from any pOst-ofIice, and 4 very
large proportion of them are not able to
buy money orders or bank drafts without
great inconvenience. 1t is not unreasona-
BILE to expect from the Government that
it will provide an easy, convenient, and
safe method to transmit small sums, say
81 or less in amount, without putting the
sender to the inconvenience and expense
which now obtains in the purchase of a
draft or post-office money order.
Il urge upon Congress the Importance
of passing some law, so that our people
may have the advantage of it at as early
date as possible. Hundreds of thou
sands of letters carrying small amounts
in silver or postage stamps are trans
mitted every year through the mails.
These letters are n constant temptation
to those handling them, rs it is easy to
identify letters inclosing currency.
"With the extension of the rural free
delivery service to the remote parts of the
country, the use of postal checks would
go far to provide the relief so urgently
demanded, as it would conveniently serve
those sections of the country not hereto
fore covered by or adjacent to money
order Offices or the banks of the country"

SENATOR Hanna seems to be an easy
thing sometimes. and one of those times
was when he introduced the bill proposing
to pension ex-slaves. He was evidently
hunting trouble for himself, and the woes
and ills he has brought upon the ignorant
blacks will pr. badly never be fully known.
The land is being raked with fine-tooth
comb, just now, by Inscriptions agents
who represent themselves to be working
for the negro. and to secure his rights I'M
der this bill. These agents are simply
coming money, and it is coming from col
ored people who have no more right to
pension under the provisions of this bill,
which can never be passed in the wide
world, than the Digger Indians. An lex
slave must have been a slave once, and
must bring the very best evidence to prove
it, under the provisions of this bill. 1t
would be about as easy to trace relation
ship to Solomon as to establish slave con-
nections at this distance from those horri-
BILE days. People who know about the
imposition that will be practised, and the
utter futility of negroes paying out money
to have their rights established, should
take pains to run down the unscrupulous
men who will simply fatten on the credul-
ity of ignorance.

The CONDITION of ex-Mayor Ames, of
Minneapolis, shows that the way of the
transgressor is exceedingly hard, in spite
of what some people may say of the sue
cess Of villany. One year ago Mayor
Ames thought that he was about the
slickest specimen in the domain of political
crookedness. He was doing pretty much
as he pleased, and he pleased to do very
badly; he had numerous confederates, who
applauded his cunning and smartness, and
the whole push were swapping their fin
gers at the indignant public. 1t looked
very much as if he and they had a lead
pipe cinch on at least that portion of the
earth within the corporate lines of Min
neapolis. Eight months ago their whole
pretentious ediice toppled and fell Mayor
Ames became fugitive from justice, and
after months Of fearful wandering and
terrified hiding over the country, has at
last been arrested in his place of conceal
ment in Hancock, n. H. His physical
and mental condition is said to be pitiable.
He has grown 20 years older, and is on
the verge of total collapse. One of his
accomplices committed suicide others have
sought safety in fight, others are in daily
expectation of the penitentiary. A man
is an eggregious fool to be scoundrel.

and was nearly 65 years of age. Col.
Pope was big-hearted, genial, companion

termaster-Sergeant of the 4th Conn.,, and
was later transferred to Battery NJ of the
LIST Conn. II. A., of which he remained the

was buried by Farragur Post at Living
