The Pittsburg Post (Dem.) says: "A
growth of socialism in the United
States will be the power, the education
and the political training of the Dem
ocratic party. 1t is anti-socialist from
its inception, especially in the South
ern and the agricultural states. In
some of the New England manufacture
ing states and in the great cities II is
making its greatest Roadway at this
time. The subject is an interesting one
for political speculation at this time,
and its developments may be aston
ishing or they may be dangerous"
The Raleigh News and Observer
Dem.) says: THE Philadelphia pa
pers are engaged in their biennial
business of showing the tremendous
election frauds regularly practiced in
that city. The Philadelphia Record
says one ward with a total registra-
ton OF IN had 675 fraudulent regis
trations. 1t says further that a
chicken coop and dog kennel were
given as places OF residence for fifteen
voters, and intimates that chickens,
dogs and fleas were voted. And Phil
adelphia is virtuously indignant be-
cause the South denies the ballot 20
ignorant negroes. If the Philadelphia
crowd controlled in the South every
negro would vote five times and every
time for tho Republican candidates"
The Columbia state (Dem.) says:
"A one-party system is not productive
OF statesmen. Yet the attitude OF the
North Is such that 1t precludes the
Souths entering with greater inde-
pendence into political contests. The
North insists upon those conditions
which force the Southern whites 20
stand as unit. There Is no escaping
from them. There are tens OF thou
sands OF white men IN the South, good
white men. who believe IN the prin-
ciples for which the Republican party
stands, yet they are never heard OF

A torn linen collar. a piece OF Lath, a
cuff and half dozen other odd OBJ
1ects hung above a certain bank clerks
desk in this city. says the Philadelphia
Press.
My collection of queer checks" the
young man said. Each of those
things is check. Each was duly hon
ored. Each has a story.
Il have been collecting queer checks
Tor three years. That piece of lath
started me. A bank honored the lath
for $3.50. It was made into a check
by the owner of sawmill, who was
out at the plant with his son, thirty
miles from any house and totally with
out paper, let alone checkbook. The
money was needed to pay off the hands.
The sawmiller wrote on the lath Just
what a check correctly drawn has on
II, and he sent his son in to the bank
10 get the money and to explain. The
lath check was honored after some
discussion among the banks officers.
The cuff check was drawn by an
actor who had become slightly intoxi-
Gated, gotten into fight and been ar
rested. He was treated cavalierly in
his cell; they wouldn't give him any
paper, and he bribed a boy to take the
check to a bank. The boy got the
money and with it the actor paid his
fine. Otherwise he'd have been failed
for ten days. Thus the cuff check
may be said to have saved a man from
prison.
The check written on the linen col
lar won bet of IS. A man bet a
woman that check made on a coll
lar would be cashed. and, of course,
he won his bet.
Your bank, if you carry a good ac-
count, VIII honor the most freaky
checks you can draw up. In such
monkey business, though 1 won't en-
courage you"

Gen. Lees Famous War Horse.

In "Recollections and Letters of
Gen. Robert E. Lee" there is much
about Traveller" the famous war
horse that carried the great Confed-
crate general through all his cam
paigns. To an artist, who wanted to
paint the horse, Gen. Lee wrote:
'If 1 were an artist, like you, l
would draw a true picture of TRAY
eller'-representing his fine proper
tions, muscular figure, deep chest and
short back, strong launches, fiat legs,
small head, broad forehead, delicate
ears, quick eye, small feet, and black
name and tail. Such a picture would
inspire a poet, whose genius could then
depict his worth and describe his en-
durance of toll, hunger, thirst, heat,
cold and the dangers and sufferings
through which he passed. He could
dilate upon his sagacity and affection,
and his invariably response to every
wish of his rider. He might even
imagine his thoughts, through the long
night marches and days of battle,
through WHICH he has passed. But
am no artist; l can only say he is
Confederate Gray"
Gen. Lee had the strongest affec-
tion for Traveller" which he showed
on all occasions. Once, after the war.
he met the children riding an old horse.
He was on Traveller" One of the
children was just recovering from the
mumps, whereupon Gen. Lee play
fully said: II hope you won't give
Traveller the mumps. What shall
I do If Traveller has the mumps?"

Nathan, passing over the coin.

sOUTH,s BRAINS AND DEEDS.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The United States cannot get along
without the South and her splendid
sons. 1t was a Southerner that wrote
the Declaration of Independence and
framed the first measure abolishing
slavery. 1t was Southerner who con-
Quoted the Revolution to a successful
issue. It was a South Carolinfan who
drew the framework of our immortal
constitution that was adopted and fol-
lowed by the Colonial Convention. It
was Virginian that promulgated the
Monroe doctrine. 1t was another Vir-
gilman, about a hundred years ago,
who announced the cardinal principles
of civil service reform.
1t was a Kentuckian who originated
and fathered protection - the cardinal
principle of the Republican party-in
this country. 1t was a Southerner who
added to the republic the great en-
pire of the West embraced in the
Louisiana purchase. 1t was a Ten
nesseean who smashed the British at
New Orleans and crowned the war of
1872 with success. 1t was a military
genius of the South that won the Mex
lean War. 1t was a Southern who
marked out the Gulf Stream and
brought about the establishment of the
Naval Academy. 1t was a Kentuckian
who guided the ship of state through
the War of Secession and freed the
slaves.
1t was a Tennesseean who command
cd the Federal fleets during the Civil
war and became one of the three ad-
mlrals the country has had. 1t was a
Southerner who was in command of
the fleet at Santiago that destroyed the
naval power of Spain. Instances might
be multiplied of the genius, the enter
prise and the valor of the sons of the
South; but we have named enough to
prove that the country cannot do with

WOMAN, 1s4, SMOKES PIPE.
From the New York Herald.


Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 12.-Mrs.
Mary Mcdonald, an inmate of the
Home for Aged and Infirm Colored
Persons, to-day celebrated her 134th
birthday. 1t was not much of a cele-
bration, for the aged woman is con-
fined to her bed, but she enjoyed it.
Mrs. Mcdonald is an inveterate user
of tobacco, and she filled and lighted
her little black pipe to-day and looked
on her 134th birthday through clouds
of smoke. Worn by the years through
which she has passed, Mrs. Mcdonald
is scarcely more than three feet high
and weighs about seventy pounds.
She lost her eyesight two years ago,
but her memory is still remarkably
strong on events of long ago. Things
that happened recently she cannot re-
call so well.
The year of Mrs. McDonald's birth is
on record as 1770.

AS THEY no IN RUSSIA.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The methods of the Russian govern
ment have been brought home 40 a
New York woman in a curious manner.
Last August she sent Bible to friends
in Warsaw through a firm of local
bankers. Nothing was heard from the
Bible until to-day, when the firm re-
ceived a letter from their Bremen for
warding agents, in which 1t was stated
that the Bible had been confiscated
by the Russian government. About
the most curious part of the whole
business is the fact that the Russian
censor charged a fee of 81 cents for
confiscating the book. This fee in
cludes goth duty and censor fees. The
bankers believe that the seizure was
due to the fact that the Bible was not
the authorized Bible of the Greek
Church. which is the Russian national
religion.

Statistics of the worlds savings
banks deposits show that Japan, with
considerably less population than the
United States, has something more
than 100000 more depositors in the

pears that the Japanese are more

there are more Japanese depositors
than American, the American savings
amount to $685., 17S.611, against s4O,-

THE SHOEMAKER OF BROCKToN.

AAAAA AMIN OE
Some of the admirers of william l..
Douglas, the shoe manufacturer of
Brockton, who was elected Governor of
Massachusetts, BY about $4,000 major
ity, although the state is Republican
and gave Roosevelt a majority of &c.
600, are so jubilant over his success
that, if they are to be believed. he is
the man who is to lead the Democratic
party to victory in 1908. They are call
ing him the second Lincoln, and are
saying that as Lincoln saved the
Union, so Douglas will emancipate the
nation from the grasp of the tariff
barons. In their opinion he is a man
who is able to get into touch with
what is in the minds and hearts of
the people, and at the same time can
think so clearly as to be a safe leader.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Douglas
won notable victory, but it doesn't
follow that he is qualified to lead in
great national contest. He may have
the ability for such leadership, but it
remains to be proved that he has. AS
far as known he is simply a shrewd
business man. He believed that If the
people were informed in regard to reci-
procity with Canada and some other
phases of the tariff question they
would support tariff reform candi-
date. He, therefore, spent money free
ly advertising his reciprocity views,
spending as much as $4,000 in that
way. And he talked to the people
chiefly the wage-earners with whom
he is popular, because he sympathizes
with them. Although he is one of the
largest manufacturers in Massachu-
sets he has never had a strike in
his factory. The results of his efforts
surprised both him and his friends.
Republican leaders in Massachusetts.
however, say that the question of reci-
procity with Canada played but an in
significant part in the campaign; that
the real reason of Mr.. Douglas sue
cess was the unpopularity of Gov.
Bates, the Republican candidate. No
doubt Gov. Bates is unpopular with his
party, but the dislike of the Republi-
cans for their own candidate doesn't
fully account for the victory which Mr..
Douglas won. 1t may account for
some of the Republican votes he re-
ceived, but the fact that he turned a
Republican majority of $4,000 for Mr..
Roosevelt to a majority Of $4,000 for
himself must be taken into account.
There wasn't $4,000 or more Repubu-
cans who were dissatisfied with Gov.
Bates.
There is no objection to talking about
Mr.. Douglas in connection with the
Democratic nomination in 1908, but the
chances are that he and his phenome-
nal victory will have passed prAoti-
cally out Of the public mind before
the time comes for selecting a candi-
date for the next presidential contest.

JUDGE TAFTss MISSION.

Judge Taft is on his way to Panama
to adjust the differences which have
cropped out between the natives and
our rulers of the canal zone. and to
nip in the bud, as it were, the revolu-
ton, signs of which have been appar-
ent for several weeks. The fact that
he is the War Minister of the govern
ment and carries with him pretty big
company of senators and their wives
is expected to have a favorable inn
preston upon the Panamans. The be-
lief is gaining ground in Washington
that before many months Panama will
be a little province Of the United
States On what this belief is based
doesn't appear. 1t is thought, however,
that annexation is the inevitable out
come of the condition of affairs exist
ing on the isthmus. 1t is said there
would have been a revolution before
the election If United States gunboats
had not been placed in such a position
as to convey warning to keep the
peace.
1t is not probable that a revolution
would amount to great deal, because
we have troops enough on the isthmus
to put a stop to any disturbance
quickly, and there Is no doubt there
would be no hesitation to use the
blue Jackets to restrain the fiery i'm
petuosity of Panama patriots who are
eager to get their hands on the &c.,
100000 which this country paid for
canal concessions.
For a while the United States will
hold up the infant republic for the
sake of appearances. but the condi-
tons are bound to be such that, long
before the canal is completed, it will
be to the best interest of all parties
for the United States to annex the
infant republic. 1t is practically GER
tain that the republic will make little
or no progress as a separate state. Its
people are not of the progressive kind.

One of the biggest blow-outs ever
witnessed in Washington will occur on
March next, in connection with the
inauguration. It hasn't been hun
dred years since a successful candidate
for President rode horseback down
the avenue, hitched his horse to a
sapling and took the oath Of office in
Democratic simplicity. But the Roose-
welt Inauguration is to be nothing of
the kind. Arrangements are being
made for one of the most elaborate mill
tary displays ever seen on this con-
tinent in connection with civil func-
ton, when Col. Roosevelt takes the
oath. Both the regular army and the
militia Of neighboring states are to
be called on to furnish some thousands
of soldiers to give the strenuous Pres
ident a proper setting, while he swears
allegiance to the constitution.
