The country now knows exactly
where to place Senator LaFollette Mr.
Bryan says he is the head of the re-
form wing of the republican party
We suppose he expects the senator to
return the compliment by installing
him at the head of the reform wing
of the democratic party; but perhaps
Mr.. Bryan thinks that he needs only
his own declaration to place himself
in that exalted position.

BLOCKADING IN FULL SWING.

Some sections of this state seem to
be overrun with illicit distilleries.
Hardly day passes that some one
or more of our exchanges do not con-'
tain accounts of successful raids on
blockaders by federal officers. 1t is
a significant fact that seldom do we
see a report of a state officer doing
such work. How is it that all this
work falls on officers Of the federal
government? 1t is as much a violation
of the state law as it is of that Of the
national government for these unlicen-
sed stills to be operated outside of in
the state there is a sheriff with his
deputies, constables and magistrates
whose duty it is to see that the state
law in regard to operating disilleries
is not violated; yet they take no STEPS
to do so. Revenue officers come into
their bailiwicks and right under their
noses discover these hell kettles" in
operation. Why is this the case? Are
the state officers afraid to do their
duty in this respect? Are they ILL
clined to favor this class of break
ers because they think it would make
themselves unpopular to do otherwise?
There must be some explanation other
than inability to find the moonshine
plants; for the revenue officers have
no difficulty in doing so. What the
cause of prohibition needs in this state
is not so much legislation against the
legalized sale of liquors as the proper
enforcement of the laws already in
force and officers of the law who will
do their duty in bringing to<justice
the violators of thoseNlaws. Criminal
laws are made to deter people FROM
doing wrong and to punish those who
violate them. If the people wont DO
| their duty as jurors in convicting those
| who violate these laws that is no rea-
son why the sworn officers of the law
| should not do theirs by bringing tee
offenders before the courts. The off,

REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE

The Washington Post in speaking
of the "solid south" says that West
Virginia is the only republican state
in the whole of what is called the
''solid south;'' that, Delaware will
again be democratic if the stake for
senator is taken down, and that Bryan,
not Roosevelt, carried Missouri. A
good deal of truth in that. In speak
ing Of the republican party of the
south in the past and it's prospects
for the future The Post says further:
The reason for the solidity of the
south can be read by him who runs.
The republican party humiliated the
southern people. Men forgive and
forget injuries. but they dc not forgive
or forget insults. The Square dear'

one make something out of nothing?
Savannah Morning News.
There is no need to emphasize the
fact that these reasons, or excuses, are
all made by young men-very young
men. With the possible exception of
the seventh, all of them are extreme
1y callOw. But how about grown
men, men on whose noses there are
no egg shells-hard-headed level
headed, cool-headed men Of years and
experience. Many of these men do
not attend church, as it is called.
Why? One explanation is to be found
in the seventh excuse, given above.
SehiOus. intelligent men will not go to
church to listen to moral harangue,
q common place string of platitudes,
interlauded with a foghorn voice and
the gymnastics of contortionist.
There is as much intelligence i'm the
pew as there is in the pulpit. When
that fact is ignored by the preacher,
he talks to benches with no men on
them. On the contrary the preacher

who is mindful of his great and glori-
GUS position as ambassador of the
Most High God, who never opens his
mouth, in the pulpit, except under
deep sense of his responsibilities as
such, never lacks for an audience Of
men.
But there is another reason for the
existence of which the church is, we
think, mainly responsible. The idea
of gathering togther for worship

large measure, been lost sight of
The church is by far too many, not
regarded as the House of God. Deep
down in the heart of every man there
is sense OF the fitness of things.
Regardless Of personal conduct, men
expect to find in church an atmosphere
of worship ands reverence. If disap-
pointed or distracted by accessories of
human invention, the revuislon is inn
mediate and thorough. The church
with its so-called attractions. becomes
like any other place Of amusement, TO
be attended or neglected as conyen-
fence dictates. Rightly enough, men
have concluded that upon them rests
no grea ter obligation to make one at

church, than to attend a theatre or
other place of amusement Hence they
come to church or remain away az
they see fit.-Portsmouth Star.

COTTON WAREHOUSING.

Most or our readers, We are sure
will be surprised at the statement thai
the plan of warehousing cotton Tor
the purpose of preserving a more sta
BILE market is very old one. AS far
back as fifty odd years ago, says The
Manufacturers Record, a convention OF
cotton planters was held in Tallahas-
see, Fla, and planned for a cotton
warehousing system, to be capitalized
at twenty million dollars, for the pur-
pose of overcoming the evil effects on
prices and consumption. Of irregular
production either by the act Of man Or
from natural causes. 1t was at that
time pointed out that the history of
the cotton market for the preceding
twenty-five years showed that the
troubles of the planters were not 50
much due to over production as to ir-
regular production.
So it seems that in ante-bellum days
the cotton planters suffered the same
misfortunes from periodical low prices
as hey do now-not so grievously, per-
haps, for added to the evil consequences
of irregular production, those OF today
have the additional drawback Of the
horde of spectators in futures to con-
tend with, who form cliques and run
the price up or down to suit theru-
Uoh
on the staple.
II fifty or more years ago it was con-
sidereu to the interest of the cotton
planters that a warehouse system
should be established whereby they
could store their cotton at small cost
in order to prevent the flooding of the
market and to make the supply at al
times correspond with the, demand it
is much more SO these days wnen
there is a deficit of supply one year
and surplus of two million bales the
next and when the spectators at
headquarters do not even need such
conditions TO enable them to raise or
about comes to this in the cotton mar
ket for sales of futures
We believe the time for the estab-
liShment of such system is near at
hand. The movement of the Southern
Cotton Association in the matter of
holding the surplus of the present crop
q rly Of
acreage OF, the next, if successful, will
naturally lead to the next step, which
will be the establishment of ware
houses for the storage of cotton by the
producers whereon they can receive
advances and thus be enabled to avoid
the necessity of rushing it on the mar.
ket as soon as ginned and packed. IF
this association succeeds in it's endear-
ors as to this and the next crop the
price of cotton the latter part of this
summer and next fall will be such thai
almost every farmer will be able to
mold back portion of his crop, ware
house it and keep it there until he
chooses to sell. The present conditions
will be reversed. The farmer will not
be asking the buyer to take his cotton
at figures of the latter's naming; but
the buyer will be seeking the farmer
with cotton on storage and offering
him good prices for it
The farmers have it in their power
to bring about such conditions. All
that is required of them is to stick to-
market just as long as possible and in
reducing the acreage of the next crop.
Will they do it? And if not, why not?
