A GRAVE DANGER.

Government by constitutional con
struction is probably the most danger
Gus problem We are now facing. This
is the initiative and referendum poll
cy of Theodore Roosevelt, who, if be
could, would tomorrow centralize
power to a degree the Gear would
scarcely hope for. When a Supreme
Court is set up with an aYOwed pur-
pose of striking down constitutional
prohibitions or limitations then the
States will be blotted out and national
sway will be supreme.
One night last week in speech be
fore the American Society of Interna-
tional law in Washington Secretary
Root stated that the effort on the part
of Mr., Roosevelt to force Japanese into
the public schools of California was nc
interference with States rights. The
California laws prohibit Japanese
from going to their schools, whether
rightly or wrongly, whether wisely OF
unwisely, Is not the question. The
national government through Mr..
Roosevelt tried to force Japanese into
those schools, How could this be done
without overriding State law? We
wish we knew. If the initiative and
referendum are carried to the extent
desired Mr.. Carnegie had as we'll pull
down the peace palace at the Hague in
SO far as these United States are con-
cerned. for war here will be certain
and a desperate internecine war by
the side of which our late civil war, the
bloodiest as yet ever fought, may seem
no bigger than Kentucky picnic, or a
Texas court day.

A WORD TOTHE SAFE AND SANE

AS strange as it may seem to many
OF our great and good Democrats, those
who prize dollar SO highly that they
would debase themselves rather than
see 1t debased, those who could not
hear the Supreme Court spoken Of
lightly, those who could not hear the
words government by injunction"
without a shudder. and who the name
of VIM. }. Bryan threw into fits, we
call their especial attention to the fact
that Mr.. Bryan is the only man whom
the Democrats will consider for nomi-
nation next time. He is now looked
on by many who fled from the Demo-
cratic platform and the Democratic
candidate in 1896 and 1900 as by far
more conservative than the pres emit
President of the United States. 1t il
thought by many that he il far better
poised, that he has far more of the
real statesman in him than Theodore
Roosevelt, and this sentiment comes
largely alse from Republicans. In the
peace conference at New York last
week he was far and away the center
of attraction, and his speech received
more applause than that of any other
speaker.
MIR. Bryan can win unless the cleo.
tiOn is again bought away from him.
He can win over Roosevelt because
with the feuds Roosevelt is starting
many men high in bis party would
vote for any body to beat him. He will
never get $250,0O0 from Hartman
again, nor will many other corpora
tions give cent. Without large cor
ruption fund no Republican can win.
not even with the aid of that great
army of renegade Democrats which
travels even yet at the heels of the
Republican party.

The Waynesboro League has recent

from the entertainment given Monday
evening by Mr.. Douglas Leftwich, in

frequent applause and encores that
greeted him. Mrs. Walter Ellison was
pianist for the occasion. Her playing
was greatly enjoyed. The ladies of
the town generally responded to the
various committees for refreshments.

CONsPIRATuRs VERSUS CONVERTS

News comes to Us that Senator
Stephen B. Elkins, of w. Va, has
called on the President to inform him
that collector of Internal Revenue
tor West Virginia had just as we'll be
a West Virginian. The dispatches
further say that Mr.. Elhins got very
little comfort along this line. there
upon MIR. Elkins is made to say that
the President can get the w. Va. del
egation if be wants it. but that he does
not seem to want it. He is further
made to say that there are number
of good men whom w. Va. would
gladly see nominated, and in effect
that Roosevelt and Taft are not the
only pebbles on the beach.
A wall comes up from New York
also. A certain Mr.. WaGworth whose
friend-a certain Mr.. Archie Sanders
has been collector of internal revenue
for Rochester for number of years, a
few days ago received telegram which
read by order of the President I re-
quest your immediate resignation
signed Cortelyou; has seen cause tc
call the President "a fakir and a hum
bug" and further says that there is
now an awakening of the real char
acter of the bloody hero of Kettle
HILL" 1t seems that Mr.. WadwOrth' Z
son, Jas. w. Wadsworth, Jr., who il
now Speaker of the New York Assem-
bly,, was a soldier in the Spanish
American war and with Mr.. Roosevelt
at Kettle Hill, is telling tales of the
Presidents war history not exactly
consistent with the general idea on
that score.
A wail-well not wail-but most
bitter denunciation of the President
has reached us from negro confer
ence recently assembled at Atlanta
Ga, where the Bishop emptied a few
walls of negro wrath upon the sacred
head OF the great and good man in the
White House at w ashingto friend anC
counsellor of Booker 7. Washington
Ohio has been heard from. and one
Joseph Is. Foraker has spoken some
words of truth and soberness. He il
now rampant in that State and If the
bloody or bloodless hero of Kettle Hill
does not receive few stabs under the
ribs it will be because the aforesaid
Mr.. Foraker cannot deliver the goods
To offset this, however, some hither
to unknown friends of the President
have bobbed up. There is John Tenn.
pie Graves, who actually wants hin
nominated by the Democrats. There
is Gov. GIenn of North Carolina, who
has discovered that the President il
the greatest statesman of modern
times. And foremost among them thu
editor of the Charlottesville Progress
who has pinned for his name as the one
to head the next Democratic ticket.
