AN ABLE SPEECH.

On Wednesday of last week, United
States Senator Isidor Rayner deliv-
cred what would have been an or
nate address had it not been for the
running fire of questions asked by
his Republican associates. Mary
lands junior senator, however,
worsted every one of his opponents
in the argument, and although eff
forts of every kind were made to trip
him, his fund of knowledge and infor-
nation was SO complete and exact
that the leaders, who are opposing
the Hepburn Rate bill, were left with
out vantage ground.
In the United States Senate, there
is an unwritten rule that new men,
Der must serve a certain length of
time before he is allowed to address
that body on any public question.
This precedent was first set aside by
Senator Beveridge, who, although a
Republican, is one of the brainiest
public men in today's forum. Sena-
tor Rayner is another exception to
the rule Although he entered upon
his active duties only three months
ago, yet in that time he has made
two speeches that have given him a
national reputation.

TAKE A SOUTHERN MAN.

Judge Alton B. Parker, of New
York, the Democratic candidate for
president in 1904, has recently made
two speeches that are full of good
Democratic advice.
He points out the mistake that the
party has been making in the choice
of its nominations since the Civil
War. At no time has there been a
Southern man chosen. and in the
record of AZ years, only twice has
the Democratic party been successful
with a Northern man. He shows
the South, the utter fallacy of con-
tinuing such a policy, and urges
that hereafter she name one of her
own people. In 1896 and 1900 the
nominee came from Nebraska, which
has since been solidly Republican,
except in a few rare instances. The
result of 1 9U4 is so fresh in our minds
and the political complexion of New
York so strongly one way that the
Judge hardly thought it necessary to
recall the vote.
There is much force in this argu-
ment. Ifthe Democratic party is to
remain the minority, which we do
not believe, or in any event, it seems
that the time hascome when the nomi,
nation of the presidential candidate
shall be made by the states that will
contribute to the success of the cleo.
ton. In the past, our conventions
have been dominated by the delegates
from large states, that have after.
wards returned enormous Republi
can pluralities. The South is big
enough, strong enough, and brainy
enough to put forth leader who
would be able to champion its cause
and thereby create new era O
events that may easily lead to sue
cess.
In our editoriallast week, we men
toned Woodrow Wilson, a Vir
ginian, as possible nominee but We
would like to be understood as favor
ing no particular Individual 1t ::
success that we are seeking and i
could be brought about by taking
one of our own people and adopting
the principles of our party as pro
mulgated by Jefferson.
The quicker we get back to the ole
order of things, the sooner our sue
cess will be assured.

believe he has done his party, in per
feet candor, it gives us great pleasure
to record the action of Mr.. Rayner in
so ably defending the principles of
Democracy. Either of these efforts is
worth the lifetime labor of any legis-
lator. When we think of the many
opportunities that he will yet have,
his influence in the upper branch of
our national Legislature will stand
for lasting good in the efforts of our
party for the common veal of the
country.
