ROCKEFELLER. JR.
Grand old Dixie !

This young man is only 81 years old
and yet we are told that he begins to
give evidence Of premature decay. He
began making money at six years of
age and in this way. His father told
him to examine the posts Of a certain
fence and that he would give him a
cent for each one he might find out Of
order. He reported II and received y
cents, his first earned money. Now
be controls, it is said, $1,000, 900, 600, and
this being so could corner the grain
market OF the country, make or un
make general panic, dictate legislation
and actually involve the nation in war.
If this isn't frienzied finance what are
you going to call it? He is said to be
q young man of exceptionally good
habits and has always been so. Goes
to bed at 10, rises at $50, reaches his
office at 8, lunches at 8, and leaves of
work at 8. Those are sensible hours
for work snd rest, and we don't know
where the strain that's breaking him
down comes in. But we never man

itmeans to look after billion we have

ing that the care of dollar requires
more Of mental exhaustion than of

with dollar anyhow but spend it?
This young man could hardly spend
his dollars if he should try even hard
TO do so.

"THEODORE ROOSEVELT.h

"The time Is fitting. The blight OF
half a century is of the South. You
have your manufactures, your mines,
your agriculture, your railroads, your
steamships, your schools, your happy
homes, your Christian spirit-you have
all we have and more, because you have
our respect and sympathy to greater
degree than We have yours. We ask
you to take up the ark Of the covenant
and bear II to victory as Of old. We
seek now TO follow, requiring only more
forbesrsnce, which is the first attri-
butte Of brotherhood. ="
The above was said by a Northern
speaker to an audience in Charleston,
S. c., and it was we'll said. Beautiful
in theory but in these modern days a
dead failure in practice.
The South is leading in the growing
Of cotton, but not in politics The time
may come when she will resume her
ancient and honored place in affairs
National, but as yet we catch no signs
In the East, or even the dawn Of day.

CONGRESS- AGAIN.

This august bOdy:is In session again
the message Of the President has been
received snd read, and now the speaker
will dictate the rest. The minority
will Of course watch and not much else.
The Southern contingent needn't waste
time in speech making. They may
entertain the galleries, but the galleries
have no vote. AS we have before ad-
vised we say again, stay about the
post office department and work for
rural delivery routes. You can hope
for nothing better and you needn't
spend your time chasing shadows.
And you can draw your pay just as
though you belonged to the great ma
iority. la the mean time the South
will go on making its more than usual
cotton crop, keep the balance OF trade
IN favor Of this country and pay annu-
Ally 100000 to swell the pension

This important document ~ readable
The fact Is mos; politicians, from Pres
ident down, talk and write we'll enough
and when you listen to them or read
after them there is not very much to
find fault with.
No one will be surprised to learn
from thu message that Mr.. Roosevelt
is friend Of capital and labor, Of the
trusts and the people, Of peace and
war, Of economy and extravaganza.

dence as we feared and there Is
only one allusion to trace preju-
dice"

and stronger navy, is ready TO live at
peace with all nations, provided they

please accept our thanks:

THE political situation is clearing.
Certain republican newspapers and
certain trust magnates, like Rockefel-
Ter and Morgan, who have been scowl-
ing at Roosevelt, begin to look pleas
ant again. The rough rider has become
a gentleman, for the time being, any
way, and moreover has agreed to say
nothing during the campaign. Evil
IDENTIFY he has found that the question
whether he is to DE elected does not
depend upon anything else than upon
the same factors which have hitherto
won for his party, and he fears that
further Offense to the moneyed inter
ests and the trusts would result in his
defeat. Hence Morgan, Rockefeller,
ct. al /, have made it up with Teddy
And Judge Parker, in whose candidacy
at the st. Lonis convention they took
such deep interest, is no longer of
any account to them.

Campaign Statistics.

The chairman of the democratic ma
tlonal committee is after Commissioner
wright and his labor report gotten out
Tor republican campaign purposes. As
an illustration of the way Wright makes
hgures lie to help his party by showing
that prices of necessaries have not kept
pace with wages paid to labor, it will
suffice to mention that by Wright's
method of figuring the decrease in the
wholesale price of nutmegs more than
balances the increase ia price of sugar,
eggs, milk and beef Now this can
easily be done, thus: Suppose three
years ago you could get certain
quantity of nutmeg fer a dollar and a
certain quantity of the other four ar
ticles ABOVE named for a dollar Now
suppose that, at the present time, you
can get that same quantity of nutmeg
for seventy cents, and that same guam
tity OF sugar, eggs, milk and beef for
$l.20. Then, according to Wright,
there has been a total reduction in
prices of nutmeg, sugar, milk, eggs and
beef OF five per cent. Do you see it :?
You get today for 81 80 what you would
have had to pay 81 for three years ago
But this is deceptive figuring, be-
cause we use very little nutmeg and a
great deal of the commodities that have
increased in value. Suppose, Tor in
stance, that a family used three years
ago ten cents worth OF nutmeg in a
year.-an ample allowance for the
average family. The same amount can
be got today for seven cents-a saving
of three cents. The same family paid
out three years ago $3.50 PEI year for
sugar, eggs, milk and beer, and the
same quantity of these supplies costs
them now SlS0-an increase of $780,
Now these two results come from the
same figures, yet one result is lie, the
other truth.
