Republican, giving as It's reason TOR

The president had repeated his former
argument that tariff reductions could
not cure the trust evil except as they
injured an industry in it's entirety, re-
iterating his belief that the trusts must
be dealt with apart from tariff reduc-
lions. The Cedar Rapids paper,

petitive products only" reciprocity, In

start a back fire. Referring to the
presidents trust theory the Republican
says: THE Iowa Idea was born in the
fear that the tariff might give shelter
to trusts-president says, etc.-ergo.

Now, the fair minded citizen in
Iowa who followed the Cummins VS..
railroad attorneys debate for two
years in this state we'll remembers the
persistent substitution of trusts for
''monopolies" in all discussion by Iowa

Republican makes him feel as tho 1t

But while the Republican is gather

mention Of the paragraph as to recip-
rocity? Moreover there can be no re-
riprocity unless there is a substantial
tariff declares the president. And yet

that ideal reciprocity must be confined

CROSS FIRING.

While Mr.. Taylor, who it may be nee
Tessary to state, is the nominee Of the
so-called NEGRO party, and his adher-
ents in the north are making the failure
OF colofed candidates for office to get
alI they want when they want it an
issue against the republicans, the south
is raising an anti-republican bugaboo
of BLACK rule in states where the ne
gro vote might amount to something if
It were permitted to be polled. The
race feature enters into this campaign
more than it has into any of the more
recent contests for the presidency and
1t is peculiar that the southern demo-
Gratis who seek the disfranchisement of
the blacks more particularly for parti-
san advantage, should be assisted in
their effort against Roosevelt by GER
tain intelligent negroes in northern
states where the colored mans oppor-
tunities and rights are freely granted
and irrevocably fixed. 1t is not likely
that the colored vote against Roosevelt
will be a factor in the result. Most in
telligent negroes know that vote for
Taylor and a negro party is a play into
the hands of the party that would dis
franchise the race north and south.
One of the features of the campaign
in Maryland is essentially Gormanes-
que. A moving picture machine is to
be taken over the state and exhibitions
given in the country towns Of fake
scenes representing Roosevelt embrace
ing a negro, entertaining Booker T.
Washington at dinner, charging up San
Juan hill at the head of a negro regi-
rnent and a number of other scenes
equally truthful and interesting. Added
to these will be pictures showing ne
crosses sitting in the laps of white
women, negroes crowdfng ladies off the
sidewalkg and so on ad nauseum.
It is only in darkest Maryland or
some other southern state that such
pictures can receive credence and win
votes. TO scheme a campaign of this

A DANGEROUS ORGANIZATION.

It is to the credit of the state Of
court martial to deal with the militia
officers whose dereliction of duty IN
the Statesboro lynching outrage
brought contempt upon the national
guard of that state. 1t will be remem.
bered that a mob forcibly took de-
fenceless prisoners from a company or
state militia under orders to defend
them and murdered them in riot of
dendish deviltry. Barehanded men
took guns away from the soldiers while
their officers stood mute and inactive.
There was no attempt by officers or
men to do their duty under orders.
Their rifles were unloaded and theirs
was not even a show of real resist
ance made. The sworn soldiers OF
Georgia and the mob were of one mind.
The lynchers came on boldly, secure by
Encouragement with the militia that
no harm would ensue to them. The
national guardsmen were as guilty OF
the outrage they had been sent to
prevent as any dipped maniac in
that mob of man burners.
Physical courage is not the only ne
Gessary qualification of militiaman.
His office calls for the highest type OF
moral courage. The conditions under
which he sees actual service are al
ways trying. To be called upon to de-
crime against decency goaded to
frenzy, calls for moral courage, deter
mination and high discipline, but is
part of the militiaman's duty. If he
fails he is worse than worthless and
forsworn to the state that trusted
him. The national guardsman who
lays down his arms in the face of {.
mob is a coward and perjurer and a
proper object for the severest punish
ment.
1t is beyond hope that the court
martial ordered by Governor Terrell
will convey a lasting lesson or result
In sweeping reform. The defaulting
officers and men may be severely rep
rimanded in public, but the mere facs
that a company of men who in war
would have died in defence of re-
doubt or marched gayly at the head
3ef a forlorn hope, laid down their I'M
loaded rifles at the behest of the lynch
ers indicates a universal sentiment
within the south that will applaud
in private. While southern leaders or
thought and politics openly palliate or
approve lynching it is idle to demand
a high appreciation of law Of the
masses, but the sooner Georgia rids
herself of national guardsmen that
Aaend themselves to the service of law
breakers in defiance of the orders of
their COMMUNICATIVE chief she will have
unloaded a clog upon ner civilization
and grave danger to the state for

is a serious danger.
