 The entire Southern people will read with just anger the decision of At torney General Bonaparte prohibiting their efforts to divert the tide of Flu Atlantic cities to their own districts suffering labor famine. South Carolina, which imported a high grade of Bel gian, German, Scottish and other iaoor paying passage money and promising places, acted legally under the old law, says Mir.

The action of the Kansas Legisla- ture in turning down a proposition to piaca a statue of John Brown in the HalE of Fame at Washington shows evidence of returning sanity in that hot bed of socialism. Undoubtedly Kansas can find the name of man among her past or present citizenship whdee st;ttae woald reflect credit on the state and be worthy to occupy pIads among the great men of the past That John Brown was not such q nan was plain even to the law makers of his StsGle. If Kansas can do no better fhan that she would bet ter set sup the statue of some promin- ent Indian. That, at least, would be no aIscredit to the State and that is snors than can he said of Brown. The best thing Kansas can do for him is to bury his name and memory along with his body.

HeadInx on Land Grabber-.

C1ev %and Plain Dealer.
 Thanks to President Roosevelts alertness 17.O90.000 acres of forest land have been saved to the public and, to that extent at least, he has blocked the game of a combination of western Senators to leave our timber lands at the mercy of the lumber in- terests. At the last moment the Sem ate so amended the agricultural bill as to provide that except by act of Con- gress no additional forest reserves shall be established. The president took time by the forelock and before giving the bill his approval issued an order setting apart 17,0O0.00O acres as reserves which had already been deter mined upon. The public mas been taught by experience what it will mean to leave this matter of forest reserves in the hands of Congress, though the job of spoilation by the allied politi- cal and commercial interests will be more difficult than in the past, for within a few years it has been shown that the government cannot only pre- vent land stealing but can once in while punish the thieves into the bargain.

NO REACTIoNARY WANTED.

What is a reactionary in politics? ene who favors reaction or change In existing conditions, would be the cor rect answer. So, to bring it down to a definite example, we may say that q. man is reactsionary if he is not in full sympathy and accord with Roosevelt and his policies. This gives sfxniftcance to the assertion of son. tn-iaw Nicholas Longworth that no reactionary can get the Republican nomination for President in 1908. It is fair to assume sthat Nick knows what he is talking about. and that he represents the views and feelings of the President We may further as- sume that Roosevelt will not permit the nomination of any man who is not ac- ceptable to him.
 But suppose he cannot find it pos sible to nominate the kind of man he wants--whast then? The plain and ob- vious solution of such a condition will be to take the nomination himself. We know there has been much talk to the effect that Roosevelt will not accept another nomination. and we also know that talk Is cheap" But corrobora- tive evidence is not wanting. For ex- ample, there Is Representative Mar tn. of South Dakota, who recently had a long confidential interview with the President. aRd has been giving out some statements. Among other 'things he said.
 Much has been done during the past four years of the Roosevelt admlnls- tration. President Roosevelt has given a moral uplift to the business and politics of Hhe nation.

 The President has informed Congress that in the judgment of himself, as well as that of the Interstate Com merce Commission, the transportation business cannot be carried on without violation of laws. That fact alone ought to shake the country's belief that the Congress which enacts the greatest number of laws is the most useful one. Mayor Mcclellan is right in saying that beth parties are suffer- ing from this itch for legislation; 1t is very contagious.
 The country needs a Democratic party that will be true to its conserva- tive history and traditions. and the party needs a leader who will call 1t which 1t has rarely been defeated. The Democratic party is suffering from the fact that it has been in the opposition until nearly all elements of opposition, not only to the Republican party. but to American traditions and to all sound governmental policies, have joined stand these dfscordant ele- ments have become great enough to affect the course of the party.

sUcCErprp HON. LUKE pnYon.

The Huntsviiie Tribune calls att tention to mistake which was made in The Advertisers sketch of the life of Hon. James l. Pugh
 Our usually correct contemporary. The Montgomery Advertiser in it's sketch of Senator Pugh's life made a imfnediateiy succeeded Senator Hous- ton. This is a mistake. Gov. Rufus Cobb appointed Luke Pryor of Lime stone to succeed George S.. Houston. Senator Pryor was senator for one or more sessions of that body We believe the senate was in session when Sen ator Houston died, in fact we are sure Succeed Pryor who declined being candidate. Senator Pugh was elected in 1880. defeating l.. F. Walker and Taul Bradford.
 The mistake was not made in the editorial tribute to Mir. Pugh, but as The Tribune says in the sketch Gov. Houston died early 17th January. 1880. while at home for the holiday recess and during the long session of Con gress. Gov. Cobb did appoint Hon. Luke Pryor to succeed him. the ap- pointmeut lasting under the law only until the Legislature could meet the following November. Col. Pryor was indisposed to accept at all, and made positive announcemeIts that he would not under any circumstances, be candidate before the Legislature. He preferred the comforts of home to the turmoil of politics. although he was fully. capable of filling any position in Ehe gift of the people. Alabama has never furnished a better, nobler or purer type of man than Luke Pryor, of Limestone. MT. Pugh was elected to sueceed him.

 The facst that Booker T.

This is a matter about which there seems really no complaint, save It is thought by some that the figure is rather high

 rf The Legislature has bill in com mittee that seems hardly likely to get out. as the body has adjourned to the middle Of July; 1t seeks to deprive fine institute of the exemption from taxes that other schools enjoy. some good men of the state, among 1neIn sd visor of the Governor, have fought tne bill long and hard, and 1t Is thought that 1t has been laid away for good
 We know nothing of the correctness of the statement as to examination of accounts. What we desire to correct is the statement that the bill seeks to deprive the insti tuition of the ex- emption from taxes that other schools enjoy" our understanding is that it seeks to subject to taxation a large quantity of land that has been pur- chased ostensibly in the name of the institute, but which is not needed or used for it. Everything connected with the institute proper is left by the bul free from taxes as heretofore.
