farmers, and with another good
crop next fall the good old times
will return to Mobiles county. One

SHOULD BE BARRED.

1t occurs to us very forcibly that
The Raleigh Times is hardly consistent
in commenting on the action of several
Southern cities which have forbidden
the rendition Of THE Clansman.' 1t
intimates that some of our cities are
inclined to be hysterical and that they
both exaggerate and admit the power
of the play when they bar 1T from the
theatres. Then 1t adds that about the
only effect it has is to arouse prejudice
and passion, and it revives a chapter
in our life which many are anxious to
forget"
AS we view it The Times itself gives
ample reasons why the play should De
barred, both North and South. In this
section we want no more stirring up
the bitter memories OF reconstruction
days. We do not admit that all South
ern people should forget the events
of those days. On the contrary, we
think it proper for those who took
part In the scenes of that period In our
history to keep the memory or
them while life lasts as a reminder Of
what we endured. how we endured 1t
and how we have drawn away and recov-
ere. from the effects Of reconstruction.
But while we think the participants
of that dreadful era have no cause to
forget what was done we are equally
settled in the belief that no good can
come from publicly and flauntingly'
reviewing such bitter memories and
thus stirring up prejudices and hard
feelings that will better remain only a
historical fact to the rising genera
tions History itself has left record
which those who have come up since
that time can study without passion
and that is enough. To have the hor-
ribIe atrocities and excuses of recon-
struction placed on the stage can do no
good that we can imagine, especially
in the South. AS for that matter we
are not inclined to believe that the
effect of the play would be good at
the North. Let these dreadful days
remain only as memory to those who
took part in them and as a historical
fact to the rising generation, North
and South.

SOUND DOCTRINE.

Commenting on the effort of labor
unions to control politics The Char
lotte Observer declares that 1t is "a
like ours that the right Of the ballot
is to be exercised only according to
the free judgment of the individuals
upon whom the privilege is conferred
by the government Those who pro-
fame the right and put 1t up for public
auction are considered to have shown
themselves unworthy of 1t. There is
little difference so far as the practical
results are concerned between such
practice and a system wherein indivfd-
ual membe of oath-bound secret So
cieties can be marched up and voted
as a whole for this or that ticket.
Their right to take part in politics as
individuals and their right to cooper
ate with one another to influence pub
lie opinion. are alike unquestioned. But
their right to lay the franchise con-
ferred on them as citizens. on the 81
tar of a secret organization Is a very
different matter. But whatever may
be the moral aspect of the case. GER
tainly the vast majority of American
citizens who do not belong to labor
ions and who are free to exercise
their individual judgment. will view
with suspicion any effort of labor un-
ions or any similar organizations to
control our political life and to dictate
the policy of the government"
In several States of the Union we
have seen the arrogance and intoler-
ance of unionism displayed in efforts
to control elections and are likely to
see mu more of it. There are prob
ably five or six million men >connected
with unions in the United States. but
they are of different political beliefs
and Affiliations, and If they wish to be
free American citizens they should
maintain their political independence
and not become the thra1ls of any un-
ion or otter organization.

We have advanced good deal, from
the point of view of military capacity,
since the year 1885, If the President
should have occasion tomorrow to or
der the occupation Of Cuba by the
forces of the United States, the Gov
eminent could embark within 20 days
larger army of regular troops than
the entire force. regulars and volun /
tcers. that General Shafter took on
board his patchwork fleet of transports
at Tampa on the 7th day of June in
the year named. And that force would
be well equipped. well supplied, and
well drilled in general movements. In
| stead of being commanded by lieuten-
ant-colonels, Just raised to general
rank. who had never handled even d
whole regiment of men, 1t would be I'M
der the orders of generals accustomed
to the command of large bodies.
In 1898 the regular army of the
United States consisted Of $4,000 men
1. now consists of $1,000. We now have
an excellent marine corps of 5000 en-
| listed men and 278 officers. in place %
less than 1000 men. Probably 5000 Of
these marines would be available for
prompt use in Cuba. The navy of 1898
bore no comparison with that OF 1906
and in the case Of operations in Cuba
it would have no other navy to fight.

| its strength to that of the army.
A third consideration of great i'm
portance Is that we now have a general
STAFF which has carefully elaborated
| just such a movement; and every de.
| tail of the campaign, instead of being
conducted in a hit-or-miss way. would
be worked out according to an existing
| pl;7.
All this would be for us, in a war TO
| no ID Tttho rfotv
against us. as compared with the
Spanish war. In 1893 1t was possible
to concentrate our operations, and by
a single blow SO to sripple the enemy
| that practically he could do nothing
| more. When Cervera's fleet had been
destroyed and Santiago captured the
war was over. No such simplicity
would attend the subjugation of jungle
| forces operating all over the island OF
Cuba-refusing to fight, but shipping at
outposts from the bush. and then TAX
| ing refuge in the forest covered noun
| tains which run from one end of the
| island to the other.
| In the final test with such a force,
our strength would lie in the fact that
the people OF Cuba would have no sym
pathy with resistance l. outrance ,anj
which the campaign would be waged
by our commanders. Cuba could be
| brought to submission without the
necessity of sending a single volunteer
| to the island
| 1t is not likely that our army or navy
will have to do any fighting in Cuba.
But the sending of Secretary Taft and
Assistant Secretary Bacon to Havana
involves the holding of the army in
reserve. The events of the next ten
days are likely to demonstrate the ad-
vantage. in maintaining peace, of a
thorough degree Of preparedness for
such emergencies.
