The September Review of Reviews

The Review of Reviews, in the Presi-
Dental campaign, fills place in maya
zine literature that no other publication
attempts to fill. 1t is a complete and
accurate record of all the strategic moves
in the game of national and State poll
tics. The July and August number deals
with the careers and personalities OF the
candidates; the September num- Der treats
of the plans and methods of the mana
gers, the personnel of the national COM
mittees, and the actual work OF the can
vass. The complex situation in Mis-
souri, and Colorado, as we'll as the prob
lens of national party organization in
the opposing camps, are discussed edl-
torially while an illuminating article on
Chairman Taggart and the Democratic
committee organization is contributed
by James P. Hornaday, with similar
study OF Chairman Cortelyou and the Re-
publican campaign plans by Albert Hal
stead. A unique addition to the litera-
ture OF the campaign is the interesting
summary OF European press comment on
President Roosevelt by Louis E. Van
Norman, with reproductions of foreign
cartoons. Elsewhere in the magazine
appear many American cartoons depict
ing various phases of our great quad
rennial battle for votes. But no one
should get the impression that the Re
view of Reviews is wholly given up to
politics, even in this campaign year A
good deal more than half of the Septem-
Der number is devoted to non-political
topics. For instance, Herbert Croly
writes about the effect on metropolitan
interests of the opening of the New York
rapid-transit subway next month; Presi-
dent Butler, of Columbia, sets forth the
educational worth of the St. Louis
Worlds Fair, with especial reference to
the great September congresses of science
and art

Our Greatest UndeveIoped Resources.
Hon. John H. Small.

Hon. John H. Small
We are now talking less OF our nat
ural resources, our streams, our for
ests, our soil, our minerals and our
climates and more about the devel-
opment and training of our greatest
resources and assets, the children OF
our people. We have learned anew
that without trained men and women
the resources of nature will remain
locked in the embrace of ignorance.
We are enjoying a reviving con-
seriousness of the truth that we owe
duty to these children and we have
made them a pledge which is as yet
unredeemed. We now know of q
truth that these children of ours have
rights, that the poorest and hum
blest OF .nese may demand OF his
community an opportunity for light
and knowledge. Wenow realize that
for every unframed child the State is
deprived of a skilled wage Garner and
perhaps burden imposed upon the
community We are now year by
year lowering the percentage of illit-
eracy. May the good work go on
until there shall he added to the
civic virtues of our people-their hon.
esty, courage, independence and love
of iberty-the skilled hand, the dis.
ciplined brain and well-stored mind.

PROVIDED, ALWAYS.

The next Legislature ought to be

is behind us and nobody ought to
open his mouth about it from begin
Ming to end. 1t had itsgo two years
ago, and if the legislation, or any
part OF it, is defeo tive, it's too soon
to remedy it. Our educational insti-
tutions are provided for, and thepub
lie school fund only needs to be sup
plemented in some sections by special
tax Ievies. What we want is to ap-
ply every dollar of the surplus funds
over and above what we have hereto
fore received, either to the lowering
of taxes, or to the permanent i'm
prOvement of our streets and roads.

vagrancy.
Danville (ky.) Advocate.

After having given the idlers d
weeks notice to either procure work
or leave town the local authorities
have begun the enforcement OF the
vagrancy law vigorously at Versail-
les and without fear or favor. The
police locked up twelve Migrants III
one bunch. Six of them agreed to
leave town and were dismissed. The
other six have been sentenced to
work out fines of $40 each and costs
on the city rock pile. 1t is believed
that within another week Versailles
will be entirely free from loafers.-
Louisville Times.
Lancaster, HaEodsburg and other
surrounding towns have begun the
enforcement of the recent law against
vagrancy, and before the refuse OF all
the other towns in this section is
dumped into our midst it would be
we'll for the Boyle county officials to
inform some of the idle, dissolute fell
lows, both in Danville and Boyle
county, that they must either 60 to
work, move, or be arrested for va
grancy.
The law is plain on the subject and
provides that any able bodied male
person who habitually loiters, or
rambles about without means to sup
port himself or loiters On the streets
or public places in any town or vii
lage and who refuses to engage in
honest labor, either for the support
of himself or family. may be arrested
by any sheriff, constable or marshal
and tried for vagrancy, the penalty
being both fine and imprisonment.
Such persons infest every commu-
nifty, and this, while probably as free
from it as many other communities
throughout the State, has it's full
quota If evidence is wanted, let a
farmer come to town and approach
many of the idlers on Main, Second
street or the creek and see what sue
cess he may expect toward securing
farm hands. Here they are, idle,
ragged and lettering without work
and without Il desire to work, and
still living. This living must be
reaped off the community, and if not
in the right way OF course it must be
had by questionable means. Occa-
sionally we hear of store being
robbed, hold-up post-oftice looted,
sneak-thieves going into peoples
houses at night and helping them
selves. This is not the work of la
boring people who are busy every
day making an honest living
Vagrancy, want, idleness, burglary
and theft go hand in hand, and it is
to the class that do nothing that
should be charged most of the thiev-
ing and devilment that is going on.
Around town there is still another
class that deserves consideration. A
class of so-called gentlemen, without
any calling or profession whereby
they may make an honest living
These are said to live by gambling,
and every now and then the commu-
nifty hears of some honest, hard
working clerk, or some green country
boy they have tieeced. Both classes
deserve the serious consideration of
the city and county officers. A va
grant is a vagrant, and whether he
be clad i'll rags or in fine raiment we
are in favor of seeing the community
protected to the extent of the law.

Senator Bailey on Roosevelt.
Raleigh Times,

Raleigh Times,
In his speech a few nights ago in
Brooklyn Senator Bailey, of Texas,
said:
"They tell us that the President is
honest. Let us grant it, but let US
remember that he is as cratic as he
is honest. They tell us that the
President is brave, and so he is, but
he is as rash as he is brave If we
were seeking q soldier l would prefer
the President over almost any other
man now in public life, but as we are
seeking a statesman, would prefer
almost any man who is in public life
over the President. He would be one
of the best men to lead q desperate
charge in q time of war; but heis one
of the worst men to administer
great government in time OF peace"
There is one other trait just as
prominent as those alluded to, and
that is his stolid Indifference, his per-
sistent irreverence to that which is
sacred to the heart of all true Ameri-
cans. This he has manifested in the
only way in which it is possible to de-
stroy the social relations which are
necessary for the happiness and
prosperity OF both races. His con-
duct in this particular has no prece-
dent among men in his class, and it
only needs a comparative few like
him to destroy the present social
status between the races.
He has Over-shOt his own party as
sociates, with but few exceptions.
Social equality is an American dis
tinetion. and is not confined to any
party. 1t is neither confined to any
section but North, South, East and
West, wherever the Stars and Stripes
is seen, declares this country is unit
forever in the social separation of
the two races.

telligence, with his ability to discrim-
mate has not realized the dire cOnse-
quences of has rash act

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. THERE'S only
one way to cure Deafness and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachan Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous services
