through a%utOcracy, ariStOcracy,
democracy and all other forms Of
government, and if it doesn't
vivify them they are dead. The
election in Missouri went to the
roots of life.
Just honesty. Why should
a man who believes in it be reviled
as a revolutionist? Because the
business men who were advanc-
ing their interests in Missouri by
bribery regarded any change as
a revolution. They wanted no
change. They were conserva-
tives. Folk wanted a big change.
He was a radical. There was no
telling how far he might go.
II he objected to having business
interests control the Legislature
by bribery he might object to
having them control it by discrim-
nation in freight rates He
might get Fighter and Fighter
till he was as insane as LaFOllette.
Meanwhile he gives no indica-
tons of having anything in mind
except honesty. Honesty has
elected him democratic governor
of Missouri.

Booker Washington S Advice.
New Orleans States.
In an address to the colored
people of Birmingham, Ala, a
few days after the Presidential
election, Booker T. Washington
advised them not to lose their
heads because of the Roosevelt
victory, or to become "unduly
pompOus, self assertive and
generally offensive" He also
endeavored to impress upon
them a very important fact when
he said: 1.-THE masses of our
people are to dwell for all time
here in the South, and here it is
that our destiny must be worked
out, and we can only succeed
when we have the confidence
and cooperation of those about
u.s."
This is a very good advice and
there is no doubt that it will be
followed by the more intelligent
class of negroes throughout the
South, because their progress
depends in a very large measure
upon the good will, encourage
ment and assistance of their
white neighbors. Having thus
advised the negroes of the
South wisely, we quite agree
with the suggestion of the
Charleston News and Courier
that when Booker Washington
next visits the North he should
give some advice to the white
people there who pretend to be
unselfshly the friends and
champions of the Southern
negroes.

nounced impulse and strong
he has acted further upon
the influences which bore him
in the wrong direction than
another would; gone to extremes.
Even assuming his sincerity and
his good intentions, he
has in the past committed
incalcuIable and inexcusable
errors in his social and official
relations with the negrOes-errOrs
that no other President
would have committed; blum
ders which have disturbed
the whole nations peace of mind
and which threaten troublesome
consequences. 1t is no eXaggera-
ton to thus charactize his actions
in the Cox and Crum cases.
Mr.. Roosevelt made issues Of
the obnoxious appointments
which he had thrust upon the
Southern people. Mr.. ROOse-
welt should not carry the issues
further. A breadth of view and
a deal of common sense should
be brought to the matter of the
Crum case. The President should
not indulge his vanity, his self
will, to press a point. He can, if
it comes to this, rather afford to
be magnanimOus than vindictive
toward the Southern people.
The Crum case should not be
pressed for the mere sake of
conquering and subduing the
Senate. Twice he has thrust
the matter on the Senate and
twice it has refused cOnfirma-
tion-thrOugh Difference to the
better public opinion. An un-

SOCIALIST MUST BE co
SIDERED.

Prominent Democrats over the
country are beginning to recover
from the Republican landslide
and are taking stock Of what is
left. Some are quite optimistic,
believing that it is possible to
reOrganize on more radical lines
and restore the party to it's
former vigor. There are others
who conclude that the American
people have not deserted the
Democratic standard, but have
merely signified their emphatic
belief that the present brand of
prosperity is good enough to
keep in stock for four years
more. But none seem to take
into account the enormous
growth of socialism, and that is
a serious mistake; for socialism
is not ephemeral, it has come
to stay, and will play large part
in national affairs from now on,
and its growth will be largely in
the future, as in the past, at the
expense of the Democratic party.

The Sawdust Evil Again.
To the Londonderry Sitter:

To the Londonderry Sitter:
1 have read with great interest
the article in your last issue 1.-The
Sawdust Evil" 1t seems strange
that some of the residents of Lon
donderry, Peru, and other towns i'll
this vicinity who are fond of good
trout fishing do not agitate this sub
ject.
A number of our worthy neigh
bors are interesting themselves in
trying TO prevent the killing of
short trout, which is perfectly right;
but why don't these same gentle
men do something to stop the
"Sawdust Evil ?" They know
very well that more trout are killed
every month by sawdust than could
be destroyed by angling in year,
even if every resident of the State
should fish for them and confne
themselves exclusively to catching
those of less than six inches. Yet
strange to say these same gentle
men who are most persistent i'll try
ing to punish the anglers and catch
ers of small trout are the worst Of
tenders, and have no computations
about letting the sawdust from their
mills run into the streams, thereby
killing millions of fish. Why not
be a little consistent? Do unto
others as you would have them do
unto you.
/ believe in enforcing the law in
regard to catching small trout; l al
so believe that there should be a
law (if there is not one already on
the Statute Books that would pre-
vent this wholesale slaughter of our
little "speckled friends" by saw
dust.
