At the p hrs Reports are said to have bez Submitted by pastors who madt personal investigations and found saloons were operating in Pine Bluff on Sunday, notwithstanding the efforts of the police and county au- thorities to close them.

Senator Morgan a McdeI.

Senator John T. Morgan, of Ala bama. occasionally writes magazine articles which involve a great deal of research, but he uniformly refuses to accept pay for them. In the course of his career many railroad passes have been offered him, but he never accepted any either for himself or any member of his family. Though over so years old, he thinks nothing of working half the night. The sena- tor never haunts the departments looking for jobs for constituents. Of moderate means when he entered the senate, he is now a poor man, having little or nothing but his salary.

Another Richmond In The Field.

Jesse r. Grant, of New York.
has adopted a novel course in
politics. He is touring the coun-
try to discover whether he has any
chance Of receiving the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Presi-
dency. Mr.. Grant is little known
to the people of the country, and
thinks it prudent to let them find
out something about him before
he concludes whether he will ask
them to support him or not. He
has some strong friends in the
Democratic party, and would, no
doubt, draw many votes from the
soldier element among the Re-
publicans, if he were nominated.
He favors revision of the tariff
and further regulation of corpor-
ations. Unlike his illustrious ia.
Their, Mr.. Grant has always voted
a Democratic ticket.

Figures from the Department OF
Commerce and Labor show a
steady increase in the tide of i'm
migration that is flowing into this
country. There has been an an
nual immigration of over 1 ,OO0, ZOO
for each year of the past three
years, the high record being made
in 1906 with 1,200,O 900 aliens. But
the figures for July just past are
81, 1872, an increase of Is per cent
over the figures for the same
month of last year. There is this
to be- said, however, that there
were fewer deportations and the
immigration Bureau states that
this was not due to more lax in
spection, but that the standard of
immigrants was actually higher.
1t is of course to be regretted that
so much of this immense tide is
congested in the big cities when
there is a real demand for inn
migrant labor in the country
districts, and especially in the
South. But it is believed that the
newly established bureau Of in
formation for immigrants in the
Department Of Commerce and
Labor may do something to
obviate this trouble.

WANT A WINNER.

The debate now going on be-
tween the Democrats about the
availability of Mr.. Bryan and
others for the nomination fol-
President leads the Augusta
Chronicle. to declare: "While
it is certainly desirable that a
Southern man be made President,
that object must be accomplished
at least upon a basis of merit
both in man and platform, and
not alone upon the mere geogra-
phical accident of birth. For the
voters of the country to cast their
ballots for candidate merely be-
cause he is a Southerner would be
as insane as Southern people
casting theirs against the candi-
date simply because he halls
from New York or any other
Northern State. What Democrats
wants is a candidate that can win,
and the best display of Ameri-
canism they can make will be to
unite in supporting such man."

Reduced Railroad Rates.

The question of railroad rates,
either fixed by the States on
transportation within the State or
fixed by the United States on in
terestate business, must eventually
come before the United States
Supreme Court on the question of
constitutionality. The pressing
issue is whether the rate re-
auctions shall go into effect at
once, or by injunctions issued by
the lower federal courts be post
poned until each case is reached
and is decided by the highest
court. This matter of the rail-
roads being able to take advantage
Of all the laws delays was the con-
tention of the Democrats when the
railroad rate bill was being dis
cussed in the Senate, and the
Culberson amendment, which the
Republicans defeated, was intend
ed to cure that defect in the law.
Regarding the same delay under
State legislation the question is
one Of State rights, and whether
the reduced rates can be held up
by Injunction of an inferior federal
court issued by Judge in evident
sympathy with the railroads, when
the natural order of procedure
would be that the case should go
to the State Supreme Court and
thence to the United States
Supreme Court. In the North
Carolina cases the railroads were
forced by Governor Glenn to
acknowledge the supremacy of
State Courts and the reduced rate
has already gone into effect.

The St. Martin Banner has the

The St. Martin Banner has the
following to say:
"While the Banner has always
been a great admirer and ardent
supporter of Congressman r. F.
Brousssrd, NJ only when he ran
for Congress but upon three oc-
casions when he was candidate
for governor, it cannot help think
ing that he is unwise when he at
tempts to make himself an issue
in the Sanders-Wilkinson contest.
His plan to form Broussard-Wil-
kinson clubs in the interest of Mr..
Wilkinson will be a suggestion
that he is an issue in the campaign
and those of his friends who IA
vor Lieutenant-Governor Sanders
and believe that the primary law
serves the purpose of giving every
man a fair deal will consider with
bad grace any attempt to defeat
Lieutenant Governor Sanders
otherwise than by participating in
an actual contest before the peo-
pie. That Congressman Brous-
sard should align himself with Mr..
Wilkinson and take the stump
for him we concede is his right,
but we cannot refrain from saying
that it is unwise and out of place
that he should attempt to make an
issue between himself and Gov
ernor Sanders. The way to raise
the issue would have been to enter
the race and cross swords face to
race with him in broad daylight"

WHO WILL PAY THE FREIGHT.

There is a singular unanimity OF
opinion in every Republican leader
from a Southern State that visits
Washington. They are all for
Roosevelt, or whoever he selects.
AS about all the Republican lead
ers in the South are federal Of
ficials, whether of the white or
black-and-tan variety, evidently
feel inseparably bound up with
the administration and have sworn
fealty to the particular Republican
baron who lords it over them, and
he, of course, whether it is Taft,
or Cortelyou, or other Department
Chiefs, are faithful retainers Of
their liege lord, the President.
Thus can party feudalism be
perpetuated. 1t would seem that
the Republican National Conven-
ton is being packed in advance
for "me and my policies.
Whether Knox or Fairbanks can
arrange with the negroes who hold
no Office to come up with contest
ing delegations is another matter,
but as Knox will. have the Steel
Trust back of him there will be
ample means to finance the dele
gates. Judging by the past there
will be contests, for lively fight
in a Republican Nationa! Conven-
ton means "forty acres and a
mule" to those who are seated as
delegates. But some one must
first "pay the freight to Chicago
or Cincinnati, or wherever the
Convention is held.

Only one thing seems absolutely
certain about the strike of the
telegraph operators, and that is that
the public is getting the worst OF
it. The telegraph is peculiarly a
public service corporation, and a
strike of the hurry-up lines is
much the same thing to the bust
ness world as though there should
be a general tie-up of the postal
services. The big telegraph COM
panies will not suffer at all by the
strike. twill merely be question
with them of paying few dollars
less in dividends, and the officials
will not eat a meal less or smoke
q cigar the poorer. The operators
and their families may suffer a
little, considerably perhaps, if they
lose. But the business world will
suffer a great deal and the whole
trade of the country will be hurt.
Whether the demands of the strik-
ing operators are just or not, it is
hard to say. The issue has not
been clearly defined by either side.
Both have INDUCED inlthe general
tiles Of a man who is not quite
sure Of his case. But both the
operators and the companies may
be sure Of one thing, and that is
that they are driving the long SUI
fering public nearer to government
ownership by their family row.
OF course there is no immediate
prospect of such solution of the
difficulty, but every dispute be-
tween labor and capital in which
the public is hurt drives that public
nearer to experimenting a remedy
that may or may not be worse than
the disease.
