A Mistaken Editor.

1t is our profound conviction that the
Roosevelt panic" marks the beginning
of the end of the political careers of
both Roosevelt and Bryan, and that a
sane-even quiet-man will be elected
president one year hence If so, the
intervening period of general depres-
sion which seems inevitable will not be
wholly without its compensations.
The above is from Harper's Weekly,
and it is putting it mildly to say the
editors profound conviction is not
we'll founded.
The people believe In President
Roosevelt, and they will not elect a
man to succeed him who is not known
to be in sympathy with his policies.
There may be those who do not like
the way in which Mr. Roosevelt does
things. but they are satisfied with the
results.
To nominate a so-called reactionary
is to court defeat. There will be no
returning to the old days. President
Roosevelt has set in motion forces
which cannot be sidetracked.
Americans have concluded he is q
sane" man who holds corporations to
public accountability and insists that
men in official positions must be honest
or suffer like common criminals. They
like the square deal so we'll they do not
propose to change policies. Toledo

before the adoption of Cuban reci-
procity, the United States purchased
from Cuba, about s42,000,000 of her
products, principally sugar and to-
bacco, and during the same period,
we sold to Cuba about 1000, 900
worth of our products, chiefly farm
'products; while the fiscal year, end
ing June 80, 1907, shows our sales
reached the sum of $49,000,000
while our purchases from Cuba reach
the enormous sum of 00,000,OOO.
After careful consideration of
these figures of imports and exports,
is there anything that would induce
Republican to favor further revis-
ion OF our duties with Cuba.
Our friend, Secretary Taft, ia
Yors free trade with the Philippine
Islands. Last year, we sold the Fill
lpinos S6,000,000 worth of our pro-
ducts, and purchased from them So
100000 OF their products, and while
] have the greatest regard for the
poor Filipinos, l deem it my duty, to
first guard the interests of the Amer
lean laboring man. With American
labor demanding about an average of
50 per day, it is found, at the same
time the Filipino receives but 16
cents per day for his labor How can
we arrange schedule Of duties to
equalize the difference between those
two classes of labor. 1t is my opin-
ion, that it cannot be done by tariff
revision.
Last year we purchased from Can
ada, $50, 100000 worth of her pro-
ducts and sold to her $4,000, 900
worth of our products. This too,
without any reciprocal trade rela-
lions with Canada.
Does anybody want a revision Of
our tariff laws affecting our trade
with Canada.
Since the adjournment of congress,
March A. 1907, reciprocal arrange
ment was entered into between this
country and Germany, which arrange
ment became effective July 1, 1907,
and during August our imports from
Germany increased $2,367,000 and
our exports to Germany fell off $685.
900 as compared with the same
month one year ago. Do these fig
ures indicate that reciprocity in COM
petitive articles, or tariff revision is
good thing for the American mer-
chant, or American labor? 1t seems
to me they do not.

An Old Suffolk Fish Story.

Single street is some seven miles
from Oxford, where the fine old Nor
man tower still remains in which, nc
cording to Ralph de Coggeshall, a
strange creature was once incarcerat-
ed. We are told chat in the year
11S0, near unto Oxford, In Suffolk,
certain fishers took in their nets fish
having the shape of wild man in
oil points. He had hair on his head
and long picked beard, and about the
breast was exceeding hairy and rough,
which fish was kept by Bartholomew
de Granville, the governor, in the cas-
tie of Oxford six months or more. He
spake not word. All manner Of
meats did he gladly eat but most
greedlly raw fish. Oftentimes he was
brought to church, but never showed
any sign of alteration. At length be-
ing not well looked to, he, stole to the
sea and never was seen after."-Lon-

The Basques, strange race inter-

civilizations is the primitive wooden
anchor still in use among them and to
be seen In the fishing settlements round

I'VE Monkeyed With the Tariff Once.

Ii was out in Danville, ILL.,, that q
newspaper man said to man of the
place, in the midst of a long talk, IF
Mr.. Cannon is nominated for president
what will be his PLATFORM The Dan
vile man had been quick to answer all
other queries with explicit information
or well based opinion, but his answer
to the above was: "Well, there you
have got me. He will frame up safe
one; be sure of that" That answer
fits the whole country. "He will frame
up safe one." No man in the United
States will dispute that. That is the
kind of answer that this country has
been looking for to many questions in
the past months Then the newspaper
man, who was in Danville looking for
information, reverts back to a question
he asked Speaker Cannon himself about
the tariff, if he should be nominated for
president: Tariff shouted the old
man of good sense, LET me tell you,
We monkeyed with the tariff once.
We reformed it, among its friends.

The Annual Frost Bite.
From The Georgian.

From The Georgian.
There seems to be no help for
| it.
That annual expression of edi-
torial regret on the total de-
struction of the fruit crop must
be forthcoming.
AS a usual thing we keep one
in type for use at about this
season of the year, but we have
persistent1y fought against the
logic of events during the past
few weeks and have vowed to let
the occasion go unrecorded.
We have destroyed the stand
ing Jeremiad.
There is a companion piece
which goes with it. It is custo-
mary to insert this one about
three weeks after the other one,
saying that it is all a mistake
that on closer inquiry from
equally reliable authority we
learn that the fruit crop has not
been destroyed-that, in fact, it
will be one of the most abundant
in the history of the state-that
the only difficulty will be to get
enough refrigerator cars to car
ry the crop to market when it rip
ems.
We have tentatively and tenn
porarily reserved that one, in the
event that it may be found nee
essary to use it later on.
But for the present we must
bow to the inevita bic and bemoan
the fruit crop. 20 creamy
checked Alberta, compounded of
the kindly sun and soil, hast
thou been withered in thy bloom
1t goes something like that.
And then there follow some
hurried figures of the acreage in
fruit which the orchards of Geor-
gia can boast-how much it
means to the revenues of the
+, state and what pitiful thing it
| is that winter doesn't know
when she has been sped as a
parting guest.
1T is usually very touching.
But this last nip has almost
set us thinking seriously on the
subject. We are not dependent
