Roosevelt desires to do, and partisan
Congress can at any time throw the
South into confusion by legislation dis
turblng the present well-balanced rela-
lions between the races there.
The Presidents ardent crusade for
Federal control over child labor has
been directed mainly against Georgia
and one or two other cotton manufac-
turing States of the South whose child
labor laws are not so well advanced as
those Of older manufacturing communi-
ties.
President Roosevelt's reelection
would surely be followed by the enact
ment by Congress of the law exclud-
ing from interstate commerce the prod
ucts of child labor, and this would be
followed by the swarming of Federal
inspectors in every factory Of Geor-
gia, the Carolinas, Virginia, Alabama
and Missouri. No Southern State wants
this, and while the South retains the
high order of political sense for which
it bas always been noted, no Southern
State is going to vote for it.
But why should President Roosevelt
be so eager to break the solid South
that he would be willing to violate n
pledge repeatedly given in order to ac-
complish 1t. The South has prospered
well in its Democratic solidarity. 1t
is to-day prospecting more abundantly
then it ever did before. Under Demo-
cratic rule the affairs of every South
ern State are administered with econ
omy, wisdom and fidelity.
Why should the South give up the
certainty of safety and prosperity
which it has enjoyed through adhe-
sion to Democracy In order to try fan
tastic experiments with the Republl-
can party, which has never been friend
ly to the South?
In the South Mr.. Roosevelt finds the
most inveterate opposition to his pc
culiar views with respect to the rela-
lions between the State and Federal
governments. Maybe it is for this that
he is anxious to "breps the solid
South" But If his acceptance of a
third-term nomination depends upon
the assurance that he can do this, the
nomination will not be accepted.-St.
Louis Republic.

A SUMMER STORY.

The Indians thought of summer as
beautiful maiden They called her
Nippon, and she came among them in
June. clad in green garments. She
built her wigwam near the sun, GOV.
ering 1t with green leaves and flow
ers.
Nippon had a grandmother, the Rain,
who often came to visit her, and who
always said to her when she took
leave:
"My child, never turn your steps to
the north. for Winter. lives there. your
deadliest foe. If you meet him face to
face your beauty will vanish, your
green gown will fade, your hair will
turn gray and all your great strength
will go from you"
But Nippon gave no heed to the warn
Ing of the Rain. The forbidden coun-
try of the north looked strangely beau.

derful land, with shining lakes and
high blue mountains and bright roll
ing rivers. She was drawn toward 1t
against her will, but all the time she
heard the voice of the Rain saying:
60 back-go back-lest the Win
ter kill you!"
Still she gave no heed, but journey
ed on till it grew bitterly cold, and
her green garments yellow and faded.
At last the wind blew them away, and
her long, dark hair turned gray-and
then white with the frost and she
lost her strength and could not go
back.

Winter felt i'll at ease, so he called his
chieftains, the North Wind, the North

the frosts and sleet and snow spirits.
"Fly!" he cried, ely to the battle!
Our foes are coming from the south!"
and he grew smaller as he spoke.
There was a mighty battle, but the
driving Rain, and the mild South
Winds broke down the Winters

his prisoner free. And Nippon looking
weary and old, with her white hair,
set out on her homeward journey, but
as she walked the sun grew warmer

Protection Grounded in Graft.

When once Republican politician
becomes thoroughly lnoculated with
the protection virus, he is thereafter
immune from the tariff revision cpl
demic that periodically sweeps over
the country. There is a reason for this,
and it is not to the credit Of the poll
tician, for 1t is grounded in graft. The
protected trusts and combines are care
full to help those who help them and
freely contribute to the campaign fund
of the Republican party. which in turn
is divided amongst those Congressman
and Senators who are faithful to pro-
lection through good and evil report.

MANY LABoRERs ARE IDLE
But Conditions Will Improve at
Harvest Time

Supply exceeds demand at the Far
mers Free Employment bureau these
days. There are plenty of men will
ing to work and anxious to get out Of
town where expenses are eating up
their savings. but all the places in the
country seem to have been
filled.
However, according to Emil San
derson, who has charge of the bu-
reau, the demand for farm laborers
will undoubtedly quicken in the next
few days. The farmers are just be-
ginning TO cut hay and as there is no
shortage of men they are not worry
ing about the matter and are depend
ing on picking up the men as they
need them AS soon as the hay is on
the ground the demand may be ex-
pected to increase.
From present indications there will
be no lack of men even when the rush
for harvest comes on. Men are plen-
tiful and for once it looks as if there
will be man for every job.
