reason, MT Bailey? Jefferson Davis was several things. He was a gal lant soldier in wartime; he was a f;,uous senator. he was a gentleman, and he always spoke the truth. Events and the fates made him the president of the Southern Confeder- acy where gallant men did his bid- ding in the field. If he was traitor, SC were Lee and Johnson, and stone valr' Jackson. and a host of splendid men who wore the grey. It should be time. in the big American union, to forget what has been we'll called 2 family unpleasantness,' which mad it's beginnings in the convention that a1opted the constitution. Logically, the war between the state had to come.
 The intimate character of Jeffer- son Davis as very fine, and full Of chivaary and kindness. His old black slaves, when freed, loved him. His neighbors revered him. His old Repub]ican friends in the United States senate held him in affection ate remembrance. and we have heard one of the noblest Romans of them all. the late Vice President Hamlln, associate of President Lincoln, speak in terms of warm personal regard of his friend" Jefferson Davis. The big men could forget and place on one side the passions of political con- fict, The little men never forgive For forget. They cultivate rancor and prejudice.
 A pathetic figure in his old age was MT. Davis, but he accepted, phil oscphically, his fate, as the man without a country. He represented a Lost Cause which had commanded the allegiance of great armies of gal lant American soldiers. He had stood for great political principle. The arbitrament of war had gone aganst him and his southern people, and ne accepted it. If you take Jefferson Davis from his youthtime down to the separation of the state. he was 1arge.sized American. He was a nota- ble secretary of war; he was great feure in the senate. He had his fau]ts the defects of his qualities, but we shall always remember him as gracious and courteous man. whose life gave the lie to islander and who won serenity after the storms of a strenuous life.

The newest freak stunt for this season is well termed the limit for it seems to be the limit of hu- man ingenuity in the way of risking life for the entertainment of the pub- lie. Last season woman risked her life doing a loop the-loop, loop-the- sap act in an automobile. This sea- son a new candidate for accidental death appears ill an act called "The Limit" which consists of looping the gap with an automobile turning a complete somersault in the air be- tween the two sections of gangway. It may be that there is no legal means of preventing exhibitions of this sort so long as the performers voluntarily risk their lives, out it is to be hoped that this seasons act will prove to be the limit and that having reached the limit the freaks will disappear from public gaze.

Butler has given place to Til.man, a man of the first ability and of the highest integrity, and his state has not suffered by the change so far as influence and ability goes. But in the other states the reverse has largely been the case. Men who were powers in local politics, but of no national prominence, have gener- ally succeeded the giants of other days, and with the retirement of Messrs Morgan and Pettus, both very old men, the change of southern sen ators will have been complete. The suffragans of Arkansas are, doubt less, quite competent to choose their own representatives, but no one has any complaint against them because they have elected to make the change. And yet the change will, outside of Arkansas, be almost uni. yersally unwelcome.-Times-D Demo. Crat.

 AFR The ship subsidy business has all he appearances of graft. The main would be the rich snip Hiatowners And besides this paper can, not see the philosophy of the UHlted States government paying out money Jackto make up defSaency in the ex- crashipense of doinc. Something ourselves nrous that we e: iire somebody else to ao J for ues cheaper.
 ng ,Fieures are cited showi.:a hJW the 2 ships of other natl ms come t' Amerl- ca and carry our products over the seas for us because those nations give their shipsiaa subs'lv and American ships ca12ut complete With them and have threfsre gone out of the business.
 That looks to us perfectly right and proper. If other nations wish 10 carry our goods for us cheaper than we can carry them ourselves, we should not object. If it is the policy ls of other nations to take money out of their national treasuries and pay mart of our freight bills for us, the Graphic cannot see why we should pay out several millions more to keep them from their work of phil anthrophy And that is what ship subsidy would amount to. When there comes time when money is is to be made legitimately in ship jpng our own goods, the Yankee sall- Tor will be on hand to go into the 4 business.
 & The trouble is that at present there is no graft for the rich ship owners They wish the government to give them a rakeoff just because they happen to be in the shipping business instead of the grocery busi- ness, or the newspaper business, or some other line. It is suspected, how ever. that some of them are in one branch of the grocery business-that pertaining to oil.
 The advocates of the ship subsidy measure take pains to point out that the subsidy bill is meant especially to encourage American shipbuilding, and it provides that all material to be used in building ships shall be ad- mitted free of duty.
 That sounds pretty good, extremely good--for the shipbuilding trust The rest of us all have to pay big duty on all the imported stuff we use, but if the shipbuilding trust wants some of the same goods for it's business it gets them duty free. Looks like some more graft.

Trade With Latin America.

That Latin America Is worthy of
our best efforts at legitimate eX-
ploitation is proved by the fact that
its total foreign trade, exports and
imports, amounted In 1906 to over
1,7O0,000,000 OF this magnifi-
cent total 81, ,OOO, 900, 900 were sales
and $70O, 100000 purchases. OF the
first total the United States bought
of Latin America $3.50, 100000, and
of the second It sold to Latin Amer
lea $3.50, 100000. There Is, there
fore n balance of trade against the
United States of approximately
100000 600. Although these fig
ures show that the United States
buys 35 per cent of Latin America S
sales and sells in turn to IL 81 per
cent of its purchases, such statistics
would be misleading If not analyzed.
For instance, this 27 per cent, not
large In itself, is made up principal
ly by the group of countries border
ing on the Caribbean, and among
them chiefly by Mexico and Cuba.
In contrast we note that Brazil, the
empire republic, with an area equal
to that of the United States and n
population greater than that of Mex
leo. bought from the United States
only IL per cent of its Imports; that
Argentina, whose foreign trade is
now larger than that of either Ja-
pan or China, purchased only IA per
cent of her imports from the United
States; that Chile, which had quad
rupled her commerce in decade,
wanted from MS only 3 per cent, and
that Uruguay. Paraguay and Bolivia
made demands of only & per cent
Peru. which is much nearer the
United States-only ten days from

Municipal Ownership.

Here is an interesting contribution
to the municipal ownership discus
sion, from the Dixon, (lll) Tele-
qraph. IL is not so erudite as some
of the papers on the subject read at
the Atlantic City meeting of the Ma
tional Municipal league, but II mas
a touch of human interest that
makes it interesting.
1--WE have chronicled from time to
time the social excitement In Center
Neb.. due to the installing OF a tub
intended solely for the washing OF
the human body, never for clothes.
II was a private enterprise, and a
social split has been engendered by
the question whether Mrs. Barrett,
the wife of the banker, should take
precedence in Tubing over Mrs.
Barnes, the wife of the blacksmith,
despite the alphabetical advantage
of the latter. In the coming election
of Center, the husbands of these two
women are the rival candidates, and
the tub is the issue.
Barnes, the blacksmith, in sign
ing the platfrom on which he stands,
says:
"Tf elected chairman of the
board of trustees pledge my active
efforts toward municipal ownership
of the bathtub.'
Barrett, the banker, in answer to
the arguments of the reformers, in a
speech said:
81 believe 1t to be for the best in
terests of the village for the bathtub
to be owned by one man. who shall
be responsible for its care"
"It is an exterme instance of the
modern issue for purity in politics. "
