support Harry B. Halves for Gov
ernor the Folk crowd brought out
F. M. Carter to oppose Talbert.
And the gang tried with might
and main to defeat the editor can
didate; even, it is said, using
whisky and money freely and
openly in the purchase of negro
votes for Carter. At least one
negro got suit of clothes for his
vote, and the assertion was quite
freely made that the colored popu-
lation was offered as high as five
dollars a head for their votes.

However, Mr.. Talbert's friends

place the "Rev." stands for right

THE Charleston Enterprise, aping
the Globe Democrat, is very caustic
in it's remarks against "the ma
chine" All the same, after the
nominations are made, "the ma
chine" will be in demand by the
fellows who are now bowling
loudly against it. If "the ma
chine," which gives organized
force to the party, and directs that
force against the common enemy,
had meddled between the candi-
dates for nomination to the various
Offices, there would have been just
cause for complaint; but it did no
such thing. AS for the present in
cumbents of State offices, no one
is so conservative as a candidate
for denomination, and excepting
Gov. Dockery, who cannot sue
ceed himself under the law, every
member of the present admins
tration is candidate for re-elec-
ton. Not one of them took part
for or against any of the various
candidates for goveror. They had
their own wood to saw, and took
no note of their neighbors' wood
piles. But either the lying claim
of Folk that the administration
was corrupt had to be dropped, or
mud must be hurled upon all the
men at present in Office. So the
Holy Crusade of Reform and Re-
generation was inaugurated and
soon its ranks knew the presence
of all who had a past or present
political grievance. The cry of
"boodlers!" was raised against all
who dared insist that the half
dozen men who were charged with
crime should be left to the law and
the courts; that the present and
past administrations had been and
were honest and faithful in their
trusts; that the Democratic party
was not a den of thieves. "Thief!"
and "Boodler!" were made the
watchwords of the Folk promo
ters, and under these signs they
must 60 forth to conquer, or fail
in their selfish aspirations. So
they are plastering the whole Dem
ocratic household with foulness
such as, if it did exist, must bar
any honest man from asking honor
at it's dirty hands.

1T is stated that Folk says he has

man GO on it who is not ready to
fall down and worship the beloved
head. No halfway measures! If
the Democratic party is corrupt;
if there is a corrupt machine at
Jefferson City, all the members of
the present administration must be
taken as forming it's component
parts. No one member of the ad-
ministration has charged another
member with wrong-doing: ergo,
they are all tarred with the same
filth; if one is a thief they are all
thieves Dockery, Cook. Allen,

Colombia's Sovereignty Modified by the

Chicago ILL.,, Feb. 23-A cogent argu-
ment justifying the course of the admin
istration in the Panama affair was made
yesterday afternoon by Elihu Root at the
Auditorium. The ex-secretary of war,
who Was the Washngton's birthday ora
tor of the Union League club, made, in
substance. the following points in his de-
Tense of President Roosevelt and Secrc-
slry Hay:
BY all principles of justice among men
and among nations that we have learned
from our fathers. the revolutionists in Pan
anna were right.
We will dig the canal not for selfish
reasons, not for greed Of gain, but for the
worlds commerce, benefting Colombia most
of ALL
We shall not get back the money we
spend on the canal any more than we shall
get back the money we have expended to
make Cuba free and independent republic.
we could not play dog the manager on
the isthmus
The duties assumed by the United States
to maintain neutrality and free passage
were undertaken for the benefit of all the
world.
Colombia could not maintain order on the
isthmus, because she did not seek TO main
tain justice.
The sovereignty of Colombia over the
isthmus was qualified by the right of the
nations to the advantages Of canal
If the canal Is to be built the United
States must build it,
Colombia INSTRUCTED the negotiations with
the motive of getting: money from the
American government.
Panama is entitled to its independence,
and is the real owner Of the canal route.
America had no part in melting the revo-
luton. but it would have been shameful to
return the Panama people to their servi-
tude
With the consent of a Justly free state
America will dig the canal for the benefit
of the world.

VARIETIES OF TYPE WRITER'S.
Machines Now Made to Write More
Than 25 Languages.


It Is not generally known that type
writing machines are now adjusted to
the needs of more than twenty five
languages. The latest evidence of the
ingenuity of the American manufact
urer is the machine that will write
Arabic. At first thought it would be
deemed improbable to furnish such a
typewriter but when it is considered
that Arabic is the language not only
of those who live in the country
known as Arabia, but of millions OF
people in Western Asia. Northern
Africa, many parts of India, thickly
populated districts along the Red Sea
and elsewhere in the Orient, it will be
seen that the field for a typewriter
having Arabic characters is wide.
The Arabic machine does beautiful
work, for the Arabic script is much
more ornamental and decorative than
the practical type used in England and
America. The keyboard is no larger
than the one in use in America-that

AM BiTION.

.e luxuries this life affords
Which few can understand
IS gold one person hercely boards,
Another seeks command.
But he who most, since earth began,
Has been beneath the sway
OF one idea, is the man
Who wants to have his say.
He gives small thought to raiment fine,
Nor asks where he shall sleep,
For Providence, he doth opine,
A special watch should keep
Ger him. He hurries forth to speak,
Or writes both night and day.
No other pleasure does he seek
He wants to have his say.
Perchance the hearth is dark and chill,
Perchance his coat is thin;
Perchance the larder fares but ILL.,,
And coal forsakes the bin
He still will scorn the marts where gain
Directs the toilers way.
He smiles at hunger and at pain,
For he has had his say.
And if mankind should hear his word,
With feeling so intense
That earth to tumult would be stirred,
And deeds of violence.
He'll sit upon some burnt out pyre
And sigh without dismay-
at isn't quite what | desire,
But | have had my say"
