A inal Review.

sincerely believe 1t IS cno!ce
between a continuance OF the
present good times and a very
probable clog in the wheel Of
progress and prosperity. Many
think that it makes no difference
which party is in power-at least
they say so-but it has been
demonstrated too many times
that it does make a difference.
During the Cleveland campaign
of '92 men said we would go on
just the same if Cleveland was
elected-but we didn't. The
democratic party has been tried
in the affairs of government and
has been found wanting. The
people have always paid dear for
democratic experiments, both in
the nation and state.
You can laugh at these state
ments as much as you please, but
if you will compare conditions in
Colorado under democratic rule,
with conditions as they have and
do exist under a republican ad-
ministration you cannot truth
fully deny that democratic con
troll has resulted in strife and
turmoil, while republican control
has been linked with peace and
prosperity.
The state Of Colorado never
made such strides as it has made
during the past two years and is
making today. The reason for
this is that the nation at large is
prosperous. thus insuring plenty
of money with which to develop
our resources and this, coupled
with a business like and COM
petent administration of state
affairs has opened the floodgates
of capital and it is pouring in
upon us in a way that it never
did before. Let money feel safe
and it enjoys getting busy and
doing something. But just give
it little scare and like the
frightenedmouse it soon scampers
out of sight.
Start a lot of strikes: let Pat
terson and his trouble making
machine get to going and you
will see how quickly capital takes
a hike from Colorado.
And you can talk about cor
porations and combinations OF
capital and the money interests
all you please, but if we have
good times. plenty of work at
high wages: if we build sugar
and more railroads: if
we promote huge irrigation pro-
jects and the dozens of other
things that we need to do in this
part of Colorado, we want capi-
tai. yea! even combinations of
capital and the money interests"
to come in here and not be afraid.
We don't want to scare the rich
man or the corporation out of
this part of the state. We need
them. We want them to behave
themselves and keep their hands
out of politics and the promotion
Of favored interests" but we
also wish them to let loose of the
purse strings and help us do the
great work that is here to do.
Scare capital next Tuesday and
see the result. Capital is not so
much afraid of the democratic
party, but it is afraid of Tom
and his trouble ma
chine.

'evils"-to no small extent

The candidacy of Miss Corne-
liza johnson. of Cedaredge, for
county superintendent. should
meet with thoughtful considera-
ton by all voters. There is
probably not a better qualified
candidate for this Office in the
state. Miss johnson is equipped
by education and experience, not
only to perform the duties of
county superintendent, but of
state superintendent as we'll. She
is an educated. cultured woman.
Her canvas has been dignified
and entirely free from personal
solicitation of votes. She is COM
petent to execute the duties of
the office and bases her candidacy
on the me rits of her qualifications.
When she consented to accept
the nomination she did so feeling
that her qualifications for the
position and her record as tax
paying citizen entitled her to
every republican vote. And it
does. When a party places on
its ticket such excellent material,
the members of that party should
stand by the candidate. Miss
johnson may be entitled to SYM
pathy in her life struggle, but
she is too proud to stand on any
such platform. She bases her
claims for the Office on her COM
potency, feeling that she deserves
and should receive the full sup
port of her party, which support
will be sufficient to elect her if
she gets it. Do not overlook the
righteous claims or the merit of
this worthy woman on election
day and see that she receives the
full party vote.

THE ONLY REMEDY.

Congresses may come and Con
crosses may go, but the theory
which admits of the survival OF
the fittest is very nearly insur-
mountable. In the regulation OF
trusts it is almost impossible to
keep within the prescriptions OF
the Constitution. Hence it is that
the solution of these things finds
no satisfactory medium through
the channels of legislation. But
in the people lies the power, and
after all the end of the law is with
the people-no matter whether it
is in Russia or in Tennessee.
The day of trusts and combina-
tions is magnifying. The Trust
holds the balance of the world in
the palm of his hand, and yet
there is power which could make
him look like Japanese fan in
Western sand storm. This power
lies in the organization of the agri-
cultural classes, and there the So
luton of the trust evil will hang
until the dormant spirit of the
mighty producing power is
aroused through the oppression of
its bene6ciaries. The founders of
the Constitution contemplated the
simple life Of republic only.
There was not then the slightest
notion of a billion. dollar trust, and
hence trade was not handicapped
with arbitrary rules. In equal
rights to all competition was en-
couraged and Herewith emulation
inspired. In the mighty grasp of
the railroad combine, which glrts
the land from sea to sea, the max
ers of the Constitution had no
thought, and hence it is that some
plan must be evolved through the
wisdom of the people to cure the
ills Of that great monopoly which
does not lie within the power of
Congress.
1t is with the farmers that these

BETWEEN THE TWO.

Since the election of Mr.. Harra-
han to succeed President Fish of
the Illinois Central Railroad Com.
pany there are many coniectures
respecting the policy of the new
president. There are rumors afoat
that Mr.. Harrahan wants a more
direct or central route from Chi
cago to New Orleans. If this is
true, as some believe, might it not
be supposed that some changes
would be made on the line now
used between Cairo and Memphis.
The branch road leading north
from Dyersburg, we understand,
has been completed to Ridgeley
and the grading is now being done
to Tiptonville. 1t is said that the
building Of this road is to be con-
tinued towards the levee in Lake
County. 1t might be that the COM
pany intends to use this as direct
line, after completing it to Cairo.
In this event Union City would
be hemmed in between two main
lines of the Illinois Central Rail
road, one of the, greatest and rich
est trunk systems in the world.
What would be the result?
We dare not venture an opinion.
But what we do intend to say is
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-11-16

this: That we should have local
committee or representatives in
close touch with the officials of
the road in order that we may be
able to adopt any plan or secure
any advantage which might be
presented.
Amongst all the gossip, however,
there are some additional sugges-
tons which make the prospect
look little brighter. 1t is said
that Mr.. Harrahan is also inclined
towards the stru ton of
branches and feeders to the main
line. Suppose this be true, then
wouldn't it give us an opportunity
to build to the main line westward
at some practical points
We are not recommending any
thing, but simply offering some
hints to those who should be in
terested.
There is no such thing as a sta
tionary condition in business. 1t
is either a forward or backward
movement. Railroad building is
on the increase. Towns are i'm
proving. Business talent is spread
ing. Little towns have better
merchants. Little towns are do.
ing more business. Four and five
story houses were sky scrapers in

NEGRO EDUCATION.

The system of negro education
that would train the hands, that
would make capable domestic serv-
ants, is the system that will re-
ceiye the unanimous support Of
the people who have to deal with
this class of labor. 1t will give
steady and remunerative employ
ment to thousands of negroes.
There is plenty of work, at good
wages, for negro women who are
competent cooks, chambermaids,
laundresses and nurses. But
housekeepers generally can testify
that the vast majority of appli-
cants for this class of work are
woefully deficient in the first prin-
ciples of the service required.
And there is plenty of work for
efficient coachmen, buffers and in
other lines of domestic service,
that will give opportunity TO every
negro man who wants an honest
Job and knows how to fill it.
The mistake made heretofore in
negro education has been in at
tempting to put the cap on the
cornice, instead Of beginning with
the groundwork Of his industrial
needs. There has been too much
higher education and not enough
of the more practical kind. Edu-
cation should fit a man for doing
