Suicide.

Kewaunee, Wis, July 10-CaInpbell
Lohst, who disappeared on the day
that his wife was found murdered,
last Friday, was found dead in the
woods near the city. Two bullet holes
in his heart told the manner Of his
death. His suicide, says the police,
may indicate that he was the muir
derer Of his wife. A 3-year-old child,
who witnessed the shooting of her
mother. had told the officers that her
father had shot the mother.
Sunday morning large posse from

Lohst. Several miles Of territory were
covered, the searchers being separated

Prosperity in the South.

During the past decade, Mr.. Taft
pointed out, a period of Unprecedented
prosperity has come for the fair
southern states. Under the circun.

the tremendous disadvantage under
which the southern states labor IN
having only one party with any voice
in their state governments, and In be
ing herded together always as the

SECRETARY TAFT OPENS THE
CAMPAIGN.
MIGHT AID DEMOCRATS
Pres dents Closest Associate Says
Northern States Fear TO Leave
Republicans on Account Of Solldity
Of South for the Democratic
Party.

Greensboro, n. c., July l0,-Secre-
tary of War Taft last night, before a
meeting of North Carolina repuhli-
cans on the eve of their state con.
vention, delivered a speech that was
generally anticipated as the opening
gun of the congressional campaign Of
1906. The speech dealt with current
political questions, opening with aG-
vice to the rank and file of the party
in North Carolina and the south, and
particularly referred to the achieve
ments of the party in the session OF
congress just closed. The secretary
was warmly applauded throughout his
speech. He left Greensboro for the
north, enroute to Put in Bay. Ohio
where he will deliver an address July
II before the Ohio Bar association.
Secretary Taft in opening said that
when he was invited to address this
meeting the committee advised him
that the political situation was such
that If proper effort was made at
the coming election It would be posi-
Bile to carry the state for the repub-
lican party" The secretary added:
81 believe that nothing that could
happen in the politics In this country
would work greater advantage to the
country at large, and to the south In
particular, than the breaking up OF
what has been properly known as the
solid south | say this in no partisan
spirit for | am not one of those who
think that this result would neces-
sarily increase the probability of the
continuance in power of the republi-
can party. The solidity of the south
has, in a measure, furnished its own
antidote in restraining many voters
in the north who might have left the
republican party but for what they re.
gard as the injustice and danger of
southern political conditions.
"The south has been kept solid by
the spectre of negro domination, and
by stirring up racial prejudices and
arousing unfounded alarm over an i'm
possible return of reconstruction
days said the secretary. After a
long struggle" he added, "the negro 9
vote was made to count for nothing
and then the political leaders Of the
dominant party came to realize tina,
dreadful Generalization of all society
that followed in a government II law
was fiouted and fraud was to consti
tute its basis. They cast about to
make the law square with existing
conditions by property and educa
tional qualifications which should ex.
clude the negro. They adopted amend.
ments to the state constitutions, with
the so-called grandfather clauses in.
tended to apply the new qualifications
to the negro, and not to apply them to
the whites"
The secretary said it is impossible
to frame a law establishing an edu-
cational qualification for suffrage
which will stand the test of the fif-
teenth amendment, and which will
not operate ultimately to exclude inl-
partially the negroes and whites from
the ballot who lack educational &C
quirement.
A policy in the south, he said,
which excludes from the ballot i'm
partially black and white, when igno-
rant and irresponsible, cannot be
criticised.

And yet II is seldom that men exchange

rather firm hold on the tastes. Mr. VIII

The speakership OF the House is a great
prize. and some OF Mr.. Williams friends
think 1t is within his reach A seat In the
Senate is a great prize. and that too is as
ISOLATED with his name If therefore Mr.
Williams should go to the University of
Virginia at this time it would be at
greater sacrifice of political prospects than
any man has ever made In our affairs.
1t has often occurred that men have
started out as teachers and then turned to
politics. A conspicuous case in point is that
of Mr.. Lamar from Mr.. Williams own

he pays a rate that would gladden. the
heart of any hotel keeper. considering the
amount of room he is allotted and the quail
ity of the equipment he enjoys. Thanks
to the possession of patents which cover
the field almost completely, the Pullman
company is In a position to dictate terms
to the railroad companies. and to perpetu-
ate its contracts. Therefore, the railroad
corporations themselves are unable to grant
relief to passengers and induce travel by
rendering the special accommodations less
expensive and more attractive. IL they were
inclined to do
One of the grounds of the public griev-
ance against the Pullman company is the
low scale of wages which 1t maintains. thus
placing an extra tax upon the passengers
in the forms of tips to porters and other
employees The passengers virtually pay the
wages of these men, in addition to prepos-
terously high rates for poor accommoda-
lions. The average railroad rider always
feels outraged when he gives a tip, not
because he is ungenerous. but because he
dislikes to feel that he Is bearing a bur
den which a rich corporation should Shout
der alone
If the rate bill is passed by Congress
with the Pullman company exempted there
will be strong public sentiment in favor
of the adoption of an amendment next year.
Such omission, however. would be in
excusable. The matter is germane to the
measure In hand. and this Is the proper
time for the adjustment of all the details
of rate regulation. Is Congress willing to
acknowledge that this one corporation has
more influence with it than all the railroads
in the United States combined?

New York and the Rate Bill.

moments reflection should be sufficient
to soothe those New York republicans who
are lamenting that their state was not
heard in the Senate during the debate on
the railroad rate bill.
They had no right to expect word from
Mr. Plat. He never speaks on any sub
ject. Speeches are not in his line. He is
an organizer, manager. His industry is
confined to the committee-room; and there
1t is acknowledged, he has his uses. New
York, through his industry, gets what in
the congressional lingo Is called her
share" In the distribution OF offices
he makes her wants known. When the
"pork-barreI' is opened he holds out her
platter. Mr., Plat at this session has been
as busy as usual in the recognized line Of
his activity.
Mr.. Depew it is true. is a speaker. and
when he was sent here it seemed to be I'M
derstood that he would do the talking for
the state In the Senate. Now and then he
has met this expectation. But had he been
in his seat would 1t not have been perilous
for him to open his mouth on the railroad
rate question? Every word he uttered
would have been ascribed by both his sem
atorial associates and by the country at
large to the influence of the New York
Central Railroad Company Whether justly
or unjustly, he is tieketed as a railroad
senator, and consequently whatever came
from him would have been set down as in
the interests OF the railroads. Neither his
state therefore nor himself would have
benefited by his activity. for, from first to
last, the debate showed that the railroads
were not popular In the controversy The
main effort was to prevent the men sus-
pected of representing them from shaping
the bill
And then it was a debate for lawyers, and
Mr. Depew is not recognized as a lawyer.
The criticism of the annual fec he took
from the Equitable Life Assurance Com
pany, for which he claimed to have rem
dered legal services. made the country smile
when the story came out. Depew law
yer" Why the country had never heard
him so accused He was known only as
railroad president and an after-dinner wit
and story-teller
Upon the whole therefore 1t may be that
both New York and Mr.. Depew are to be
congratulated on his absence from the Sem
ate al a time when the whole country stood
at attention to the debate in progress there.
Had he been present he would have been
expected to speak, and had he spoken he
might have drawn both suspicion and ridi-
Guile upon himself.
