Judge Taft to the South.

+ Secretary Taft made q very adrott
appeal to the democrats of the south.
Tt was not an intensely partizan
speech as it could not be, since he was
addressing himself more to democrats
than republicans. The basis Of his plea
Ewas that the industrial south gains
nothing from supporting party which
indiscriminately denounces the tariff,
which has had great part in building
up the new south, and loses great deal
by. handing over its local affairs always
8 to the same party, because of the spec
ter Of negro domination. He pointed
out that there could be no quarrel with
the application of law which ex-
cluded the ignorant from the polls, pro-
vided it worked fairly. The ignorant
whites, however, are protected in their
suffrage in some southern states by the
'grandfather clause while the uned-
ucated negroes, having no grandfathers
to fall back upon, are excluded. No
law, he claimed, could be framed upon
the fifteenth amendment, which did not
work ultimately-rto exclude from the
ballot both whites and negroes, who
lack educational qualifications. By
framing their law fairly, by giving up
> the grandfather clause,' he attempt
ed to show the men of the south they
could provide themselves with alterna.

out the least danger of negro denomin.
alton. The advantage Of having two
parties equally capable of taking hold
Of the government was obvious. The
one could be used to punish the other
in case of an abuse Of power.
The south ought to be able to see
: the point. It must be tired Of sending
up United States senators who vote
against a rate law on the ground that
it is contrary to a provision of the con
federate constitution adopted for Ala
bama during the war. Such legisla

To the Editor of Tho Journal.
The Irish Standard of this city, in
recent, apparently inspired, editorial in
behalf of the candidacy Of Mr.. Haynes
for mayor, commits itself to this opin-
ion:
Voters, we believe, are tired Of the saloon
issue. They are just bit tired with the pres
ent administration because it has staked its all
upon the manner In which the saloons have
been kept closed on Sunday: There is a feel
ing that so much dissatisfaction has been
taken by the present mayor out Of his success
In keeping the falcons closed that he has
neglected to fulfill his duties in other direc-
tons. :.
It is entirely too early to begin the
municipal camL>egn, but as one who
was skeptical at the beginning Of the
present administration Of it's ability TO
make good, I beg leave to ask. wher

An Accepted Invitation.

J A correspondent of The jour
n makes some timely and pertinent
remarks in a communication today in
%reply to an editorial in local weekly,
the purpose Of which was, apparently,
to convey the impression that, in. re
quiring obedience to law on the part of
Z the saloons, the mayor neglected his
other duties. This correspondent asks
some questions, the answers to which
are in the minds Of all voters who have
kept themselves informed as to munich
pal affairs. - 81, e F.. - - < .3sg,
: It would be fortunate. indeed, for
Mr.. Jones if the opposition to his re-
election could be induced to take the
aposition indicated by this rather IN
friendly editorial. It would focus at
tention where it will do him most good
7 and emphasize the fact, as it ought to
be, that we have never had mayor
who, while enforcing the laws more
strictly than heretofore with regard to
the saloons, and doing it effectually,
was at the same time more diligent or
deficient in the discharge of "his duties
z in other directions. It will be po-
litical mistake for Mr.. Jones' oppo
nents to attack him upon that side
. If they do, the record will do the rest.

Wonderland's New Attraction.

Howard's dogs and pony show that was
omitted from a program OF free attrac-
tons at Wonderland Sunday because Of
their delay in arriving, proves to be a
stellar attraction. The ponies are beau
tiful little animals, and are trained to do
novel tricks with the dogs. The Ernest
brothers IN acrobatic' stunts of a COM
edy nature, Sentell.s really sensational
slide for life, and a concert by the
Helntzeman Military band. with Jospeh
McCauley singing "Wonderland." makes
up a very enjoyable. program Wonder
land is at its best now, and visit In
the cool of the evening Is delightful.

Being war drama, "Winchester" can
not and does not depart from some of the
set lines Of the standard war drama. A
beautiful southern girl, Virginia Ran

a northern officer, who has been wounded
and is later nursed back to life under her
care. Virginia obtains information which
she gives to; the; confederates. To pro-
tect her Kearney, who has enemies plot
ting his ruin. refuses to tell where: the
informal ton comesi from and ! Is con-
demned and sentenced to be shot for

a reprieve for the man. she loves, and

The Policyholder's Committee.

The Policyholder's Committee.
The policyholders' committee Of the
New York Life and the Mutual Life
of New York held it's first meeting in
New York yesterday. and issued an
address to the policyholders turnout the
world The point of this address is
that the committee, cooperating with
members of the companies everywhere,
will endeavor to give effect to the Arm
strong law, passed by the last New
York legislature. Lest any should
think, the, legislature had done a new
thing the committed takes pains to ex-
plain that'4the Legislatures d i'd snothingg
but restore original conditions. I'm
der their charters these companies are
mutual. They have no capital stock.
The duty Of electing the trustees de-
wolves upon the members. s..s But thru
many years they have been in the habit
of delegating this duty by giving
proxies or Of neglecting it entirely.
Less than one-ffth of l per cent Of
the members have voted. The admis-
votes and thus became self-perpetuat-
ing. It abused it's powers. 1t paid ex-
brilliant salaries, wasted money in ex-
travagant commissions, sold it's own
honor and the honor Of the companies
in bribery and gave away enormous ad-
vantages which belonged to the mem
bers thru syndicate deals, in, which IA
vorites of the officers drew down profits
on transactions in which they put up no
money of their own
These facts induced the legislature to
call the attention of the policyholders
to their duty. In order that they
might be able to cooperate it abro-
gated all existing proxies and provided
that the list Of polioyholders. should be
made public three months before the
election. These lists will become
available on July 49, The committee
which met yesterday will make up a
ticket for directors in the two COM
panies and submit it to the policyhold-
ers and urge them to vote. it by MALTA at
1.-THE election to be held in October.
The committee admits that it has a
difficult task before it, that it will cost
$4,000 merely to send a circular to
each policyholder, but there is little
doubt the amount will be raised since
there are many members who will sub
scribe to a fund to GUST the Wall
street crowd. Meanwhile the present
trustees will not be idle. They are al
ready busy sending out circulars, at the
policyholders expense, showing what
marvellous things they are doing. for
their constituents. They will present
a rival ticket and it will take organiza-
ton and hard work on the part Of the
Independents to beat the machine. The
plea will be made that the present off
GERS are not the men who abused their
trust, that. they are reformers them
selves. But it should be borne in mind
that they are merely stop-gap officials
that they were placed in power by the
same influences which ruled before and
that the only real safety for the pol. 'y'
holders lies in voting their own ticket
