Washington Ae tier.

Washington, June. : If the
opinion of leading democra is
dropping into Washing from
time to time count for anything
a plank demanding the initiative
and referendum will not be in
corporated in the next platform
of the national democracy. The
proposition to insert such a
plank in the platform is advo-
Gated only by those who former
ly affiliated with the Populist
party No genuine democrat,
whether from the South, North.
East or West, has yet endorsed
his plan, and it can be safely
said that the party will not be
menaced by such an issue in the
next presidential election.
The strongest protests against
the incorporation OF such Il
plank in the democratic plat
form nave come from Jne SOuCn.
Southern democrats realize the
danger of such form of gov
ernment more fully than those
of any other section, and as the
convention Will be controlled by
the representatives Of that sec.
ton, it can be asserted in all
confidence that the platform
will be minus that piece of Pop.
ulistic timber.
Southern democrats point out
that had initiative and referen-
DUN prevailed in 1891. when the
lnlqultous Force Bill was being
considered by congress, the
ooutn would not today be enjoy
ing the blessings of white su-
premacy. The republican party,

time, and which has ALWAYS bid

other. submitted the question to
the people, and the North being
the stronger in votes. the same

cause of the disfranchisement OF
the negro, that body would be
compelled to refer such a law to
the people for approval. and
there would be little doubt OF It's
adoption, as the republican
voters of the North and West
are always ready to seize an op-
portunity to deal the South a
deadly blow.
If the sentiment today is an
indication of democratic tenden-
cy, the paramount plank in the
next democratic platform will be
tariff revision. The platform
will contain no declaration OBJ
noxious to the views Of any good
democrat: it will be framed along
lines to meet the views of all
factions of the party. Initiative

aside. The platform will be an
old time democratic expression
of the true democratic faith, and
the party once more united, as
it would be under such a condl.
tor, would march to one more
great and glorious victory.

President Roosevelt was the
speaker at Jamestown last Mon
day. Georgia Day" and be de-
livered his address in the Geor-
gia State building, which is a
reproduction, orNreplica Of the
home of the Presidents grand
father on his mothers side. The
President spoke feelingly Of the
compliment paid him by the
State of Georgia. and then pro.
ceeded to recite the splendid
history Of that State. He said
Il am proud. indeed, of my
Georgian ancestry, and Of the
fact that my grandfather's
grandfather, Archibald Bulloch,
was the first governor. The
entire speech was magnificent
deliverence of patriotic utter
ances and a thorough knowledge
of the country's progress.
We look to see some Of our
Southern newspapers make ad-
verse criticism of. the Presidents
declarations Of pride IN his
Southern ancestry and throw up
to him some Of his political ap.
pointments and other official
acts. If President Roosevelt
escapes th> criticism of South
ern pens on this occasion it will
be the first time in our recollec
ton. His address touched upon
the problems Of the day, and he
was very explicit in his views
on economic and social questions.
The material progress of the
country in the last quarter Of a
century. He congratulated the
people of the South in their
efforts to stamp out the evil Of
child labor in the factories, and
their work along educational
lines, immigration and other
topics.

STAND FAT.

The recent interviews relating
to the liquor question in this
State which have appeared in
Columbia newspapers would in
dicate that the matter of liquor
control Is as much unsettled now
as it was before the passage of
the Carey Cothran law: and we
agree with the Representative
from Anderson, when he con-
tends that it would be unfair
now for the Prohibition element
to ioin with the defeated State
dispensaryites to wipe out the
county dispensaries. The Carey
Cothran law could not have
been enacted without the aid of
the prohibition element. and
now that they aided in securing
a law that will give the people
the choice, in their respective
counties to say whether or not
liquor can be sold. should be
enough for the present, at least
until the new liquor regulation
has been sufficiently tested to
ascertain whether In its practi-
cal operation, it is any better for
the public good than the old
law.
It is our Judgment the prohi.
bitionists will make a mistake if
they form an alliance with the
former State dispensaryites,
they may succeed IN securing
the repeal of the Carey-Cothran
Act, and the enactment Of a
State prohibition law, but it
can only be a temporary sue
ceess, and when the pendulum
swings the other way, as it will
do when State prohibition Law
is found impracticable, then con,
dit;ons will be worse than they
have ever been.
Under the present law those
counties laElnS nealGily pro
hibition sentiment can vote out
the dispensaries if they choose,
and be responsible for the en-
forcment OF the law, and nc OBJ
lection is raised. but when 1t
comes to forcing counties that
have no prohibition sentiment, to
be deprived of the revenue that
comes from the liquor traffic
there IS objection, because those
people are made to submit to the
traffic in liquor and its results,
and the revenue goes elsewhere.
In our Judgment the liquor
regulation laws i'll this State are
good enough, and we would ad-
wise to let well enough alone.

The general assembly OF South
Carolina is largely made up OF
the legal profession. and now
since the decision of a court
AGAINST the constitutionality OF
the agricultural labor contract
law: it would be we'll for some OF
the lawyers to get together and
devise a bill to be enacted into
law that will afford protection to
employers of labor. We do not
think the declaring unconstitu-
tional the present law will create
the confusion in labor as was at
first supposed, and one reason
for it is. that on account Of the
many losses last year from the
breach of these contracts the
farmers have been more careful
in their advances, and have de-
clined to permit the tritfjing
class to get ahead of their wages:
with the result, that the laborer
not being overwhelmed in debt
had nothing to induce him to de-
sert his employer. There is no
doubt of the necessity Of law to
protect labor, but 1t should not
be one-sided. The employee as
we'll as the employer should be
equally protected, and if out OF
the minds of some Of our legls-
lators there can be evolved a
labor contract law that will be
upheld by the courts, a great
service will be rendered.

Explosion IN Cooke Bros'. Sepsra-

Cooke Bros. lost their separator
Tuesday afternoon by fire caused
by spontaneous combustion. They
were threshing on the Hurtranch
north Of town and it was about
five o'clock in the afternoon when
the explosion occurred. Fire
broke out and all hands immedi-
ately hurried the water wagon
to to the scene and the fire was
quenched but not until it had en-
tirely gutted the separator. Jas.
Cooke came to town and ordered
the necessary repairs by express
and VIM. Cooke and the major
ity Of the hands remained at the
machine. The separator was de-
luged with water and the fire
was supposed to be entirely out
but out about three O'Clock in the
morning it broke out afresh and
the separator was destroyed.
Cooke Bros. have been running
this separator eight years and
this is the first year they have not
had it insured as this year they
could not find a company that
would insure it. They have or
dered another Pride of Washing
ton, which was the style Of the
old machine, and expect to start
