"THEM FURRINERS!"
(The Royston Record.)

'
The farmers of Georgia elected Mr.
Smith and they are not in favor of
foreign immigration. No foreigners
are needed in Georgia by the farmers.
Low wages are no more wanted or
needed on the farms than in the
cities.
The farmers are willing to pay for
their hire if they can get a legiti-
mate price for their products and
this they propose to do.
OF course the railroads and corpo-
'ations want foreign immigrants. Thev
need them in their business, but the
farmers do not.
What do the serfs of Russia know
about free and Independent gov
ernment, and what do the people of
south Germany know Of self-govern-
ment?
If the people of the over-crowded
northern or other states of our own
country want to come south let them
come, but keep out the foreigners
the cheap laborers.
The writer has been all over the
west and on the Pacific coast and
Knows something about these cheap
laborers. A large majority Of them
are socialists, anarchists and revolu-
tionists OF the lowest order. They
think no more of the country in which
they live than they do of the one they
left. They are used to bowing down
to power and greed and the south
ern people have no need for them.

REMOVE THE TARIFF.
(Virginian-Pilot.)

If the steel mills, from improper
rolling, or other causes, are turning
out defective rails, they cannot i'm.
prove their methods and processes
too quickly. If, on the other hand,
the trouble really is in the weight of
the rail, then heavier ones should be
substituted as rapidly as possible. In
creased cost should not be permitted
to stand in the way Of an improve.
ment calculated to increase safety of
travel. But remove the tariff on steel
and iron and their products and there
would be no increased cost. The heav-
Ter rail could then be bought for
considerably less than is now exacted
for the lighter.

THE "DRY" SOUTH,
(The Washington Post.)

For rigid political morality sugges.
tive Of old-time New England one
must go south. One after another
the New England states have tried
prohibition in the shape of statewide
laws, and finding the experiment a
failure, all have given it up save
Maine, where it still stands, but with
great and growing disfavor. Mean
while, prohibition in the shape of local
option is rapidly covering the south
and governors of states and many 9TH
er influential citizens, in and out of
Office, are teetotalers. There is a
more general prevalence of extreme
temperance sentiment, of total absti-
nence sentiment in the south today
than anywhere else in the country.

sion has recently issued accident
bulletin No. 90" which includes rail-
way accidents during three months
ending December 81, 1906. II the
previous bulletin was astonishing in
the enormous number of accidents it
reported bulletin % is still more
startling. 1t shows the total num-
ber of casualties to passengers and
employees while on duty to have been
20,944, an incrase of 1,094 over those
reported during the preceding three
months. A special dispatch from
Washington to the Journal Of Com
merce continues a summary Of the
bulletin as follows:
"The total number of collisions
and derailments was 1866 (2,226 col
lisions and 1873 derailments), of
which 391 collisions and 100 derail-
ments effected passenger trains. The
damage to cars, engines and roadway
by these accidents amounted to $3,-
099,228.

ployes killed in train accidents was
474, an increase of 207 over the num-
Der reported in the last quarter. The
number of passengers killed in train
accidents in this quarter, 180, is the
largest on record except passengers
killed in the quarter, 143, are attribut
able to three accidents, two coils
ions and one derailment
''The number of employees killed in
coupling and uncoupling cars and en-
gines was "a, as against 81 reported
killed in the last preceding quarter.
"The most disastrous accident re-
ported in the present bulletin was a
collision between passenger train
and an extra train haulin gempty pas
senger coaches in which forty-three
persons were killed and sixty-three in
jured."
1t would seem that to those who
decry present railway agitation as
hostile" and unreasonable it should
be necessary only to point to the above
CHASTITY record to convice them that
long suffering public is justified in
seeking immediate and efficient rem
edies for such service. This record of
disaster to human life is alone enough
to create a demand for complete re-
form in operating methods, and, cou-
pied with the inadequate and inef-
ficient freight service that is being
furnished on many lines, it is sur
prising that the demands of the pub
lie have not assumed a really radical
form.

BRYAN FOR DIRECT VOTE.

The Populists and advocates Of di-
rect egislation-that is, the initiative
and referendum-were greatly pleased
with the spirit Of Mr.. Bryan's Brook
lyn speech. The Brooklyn Eagle,
speaking of the speech, says:
"Mr. Bryan's full statement on this
point is as follows:
THE doctrines Of Jefferson are
marching on. Anything that makes
the government more Democratic,
more popular in form; everything
that gives the people more control
over the government will win.

erendum who Is not prepared to deny

think it is coming to the test.
'The faults of our government are
not in the people themselves; they
are in those whom the people elect.
The faults Of our government are in
the representatives Of the people who
pretend to be friends of the people
but betray their trust and turn to
private account the authority placed
in their hands, for public purposes,

in the power of the people to compel
the submission Of any question upon
which they want to act, and the ref
erendum enables them to sit in judg
ment upon anything which the leg
islature has done. Your constitution
provides that the governor or presi-
dent may veto what the legislature

to veto the legislature, who will say
that the majority of voters has not

DECLINE OF PARTY LOYALTY.
(The Portland Oregonian.)

If they should succeed in placing
pliable nonentities at the head of both
parties next year, what would be the
result? Probably a Republican VIC
tory, but not certainly. The times are
pregnant with change, and party
loyalty sits lightly in the breasts of
the people. There is the specter of
Hearst and his third party to be
reckoned with, and who can say with
confidence that the disgust of the
voters might not sweep him into
power?

SCRATCHES IN HORSES.
Simple Abrasions of Skin may Result
in Permanent Defect.

We see grease heels and itchy legs
in very many stables, especially where
draft horses are being raised. When
horse gets a grease leg he is at once
pronounced an unsound horse, simply
from the fact that this leg cannot in
most cases be reduced to its normal
size. Grease legs usually begin with
scratches, which is caused by bad
condition of the horses blood.
Some horses are much more subject
to this than others, in fact it has been
claimed that horses with round bone
are more subject to these defects than
the flatter boned breeds. have
found that the horses most subject
to these disorders are those that have
either been improperly fed or have
been worked too heavily and become
run down in condition. Frequently a
mare that has been nursing colt
during the summer and then put into
heavy work during the fall months
and during this time fed on new
grain.
AS the mare loses her flesh some
swelling of the legs is noticed, and
some itching. The mare is continued
at hard work until the work stops off
ed and getting impoverished, causes
the legs to swell still more, causing
the skin to be feverish and by the rub
bling that follows, soon breaks the
skin and with the swelling breaks
open the flesh just at the joints, then
the trouble begins; an open wound,
constantly irritated and subject to in
lection, besides the animal having
bad blood; such a wound it is almost
impossible to heal unless the cause is
removed.
Horses that get poor in flesh are
subject to many ailments, and
scratches is one of the most objec-
tionable of these.
When horse shows any signs Of
swollen legs his case should be taken
in hand at once. The trouble then Is
not hard to overcome. Very frequent
ly change of grain with boiled feed
once a day or bran mash, with lighter
work, giving the entire system a
change and rest, a light physic, such
as pint of raw linseed oil given on
an empty stomach followed by light
food and rest will often restore the
normal condition. How much easier
this treatment is than to allow the
case to continue until the horse gets
all out of condition.
Good and proper feeding is the cure
for such troubles and in nine cases out
Of every ten cases is preventive means,
says Farm Life. If the case has reach.

luton and reduce the swelling by reg
ular exercise, apply a cooling liniment
and give the swollen limbs nice rub
bling, which will exercise the circula-
ton. Do not expect the trouble to en-
tirely disappear in a week; it perhaps
took months to get the horse in this
condition and it will naturally take
time to throw this off.
Thick legs are usually the result of
neglect in such cases, while the horse
may be able to do plenty of work after
getting thick leg he is certainly I'm.

sows to produce all the filters to be

Vacation.

The secret of rest is to get rid of
detail for time. Why is it that a
sea voyage is regarded as the best of
tonics? Simply because the entire
change of surroundings wipes out the
mass of complications attendant upon
the daily routine of the ordinary
worker. We all need occasional free
dom from the bondage of the tiny
strings that bind us to wearing tasks.
The man who realizes this and plans
his vacation accordingly makes no
mistake.
