Educational
Exhibit
our DISPLAY. At ST. LOUIS Is
APT TO BE OF NO GREAT
MOMENT.

In Santa Fe during the meeting of
the educational association NJ. w. Por-
terfield, superintendent OF exhibits
for the Worlds Fair was present to en-
list interest In school display from
New Mexico, He secured excellent
assurances Of support and great many
educators were appointed to CO
operate with him. But with a paltry
$500 al their disposal what can the
educators do in the way Of making a
comprehensive exhibit? The superin-
tendent of the department at st. Louis
has Informed the New Mexico commits
sion that in the space afforded to the
territory, $1,000 can well be spent.
No exhibit that New Mexico can
make will count so high as the educa-
tional display. The charge generally
made against New Mexico Is NOT for
lack Of minerals and stock ranges
and farms, but illiteracy. A first.class
exposition Of our educational progress
will be Of the greatest Importance.
But 1t will take more than $500 and
the cooperation of our educators TO
make II.
The committee appointed by Pres
iient Foster of the association to help
along the work follow. They should
make a united appeal TO the New Mex
leo commission for more money. w.

Now since poor Parker's de-
feat the Democratic newspapers
that championed his cause and
were going to elect him, are
putting the blame for his defeat
upon him, and those who en-
gineered his campaign. Parker
was not to blame for Roosevelt's
overwhelming election, if there
is any blame it can be laid at the
door of the obstructionists in the
limited States Senate, who did
their best to obstruct all legls-
jlation which looked towards
proeressiveness. The business
element saw this and that is why
the Republicans made such
heavy gains in Democratic cities.
Don't blame Parker, but we do
need a different leadership, one
that realizes the war is over and
that the country has grown since
Jefferson and Jackson died.

Senators Tillman and Bacon
have each given out interviews
upon the future solidity of the
South. What these statesmen
say is nothing more nor less
than worn out political material
that has been the stock-in- trade
of every politician for the past
thirty years. The people would
much prefer these leaders to de-
wise some means by which the
South can free herself from po-
itical servitude that only inures
to the benefit of those holding
high Office. They talk about the
10th, amendment being repealed,
as though they did not know
that there is no more change for
the repeal of that amendment to
the constitution, than there is
for the South to lose white su-
premacy. The 18th, amendment
will stand. and the thing for our
statesmen to do is to bring
about a condition that a man
of pride and intellig e
can vote like a free man should.
A wise craftsmanship can bring
about this desired condition
without jeopardizing the su-
premacy Of the white nan either.
It can be done in our primaries
simply by permitting a free and
open discussion Of public ques
tions. It is about time for our
statesmen to quit moping over
the ashes of the past and bring
the people to a realization Of
things as they exist.

TOTE FAIR.

The Spartanburg Journal and
Yorkville Inquirer are not pleas
ed With the attitude of the Co.
lumbia State and Columbia Rec
ord, because these papers at the
capitol insist upon demanding
proof of the charges of corrup-
ton in the management Of the
State dispensary. and since the
twoup-country newspapers dra G.
ged into the discussion the Rich
land Distillery, and the bottle
making works, more besides the
Columbia newspapers seem to
have had their toes trod upon.
Suppose the Richland Distillery
is owned by citizens Of Columbia
what difference would it make to
the State so long as it furnished
the dispensary with as good
goods at as cheap price as it
could buy elsewhere? We do not
know what changes have taken
place within the past few years,
but when the institution first be-
gan operations, we doubt exceed
ingly if any members of the
present Board Of Control had
any stock in it, and we hadnevG
been informed Of the stock being
owned by any Columbians. The
Act which created the Richland
Distillery is very familiar to the
writer, who we think, had some
thing to do with it, and at the
time was in a position to know
all about the affairs Of that COM
pany, and we unhesitatingly say
that the Richland Distilling Co.
was started as a legitimate busi-
ness institution, with no friends
at court, +" and with, a view of
securing patronage from the
State Dispensary by outstrip-
ping competition. That because
this concern sells more goods to
the dispensary than outside dis
tilleries is no sign Of corruption;
it can afford to sell cheaper, be-
ing right on the ground with no
frieghts to pay. We have always
been opposed to the State Dis
pensary, but we do not believe
in fighting unfairly, and to init
mate that there is corruption be-
cause the institution largely pat
ronizes home concerns is not an
attractive argument. In our opin.
ion, stronger evidences OF cor
ruption can be found by inquir-
ing into the cause of certain
liquor men going about the State
visiting dispensers. The local
dispenser has nothing to do with
the purchase Of goods, and if
these travelling men are offering
them inducements to push GER
tain brands, it is a graft which
should not be permitted.
