THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT.

The terrible experience through which Spring
held, ILL.,, has just passed will probably open the
eyes of the North as to the difficulties under
which the South labors in handling similar oc-
currences. We have been accused of lawless-
ness and persecution Of the negro-with having
an inherent hatred of the race that blinds our
eyes and warps our judgment. But with all our
knowledge of the inequality of the negro and
the uselessness Of attempting to place him on
an equal plane of social existence, we have at
no time exhibited less forbearance or uncon-
trolled passion in the punishment of the fiendish
criminal than was exhibited by our Northern
friends Of Springfield. -...
Had Springfield like some sections of the
South, predominant negro population, the stu
alton would have brought still more clearly tc
view the difficulties under which the South la.
bors in handling the negro problem, and il
would have been still further accentuated if in,
stead of having the better class of educated ne
groes it had to deal with the insensible brutal
lied black of many sections of the South.
Such occurrences are deeply to be deplored
yet we cannot but call to mind the severe crit
cism and the humiliating charges that have
been heaped upon the Southern people under
similar circumstances.

The Ladies' Progressive Union has done much
to help Covington. If it had in no other way
contributed to the towns prosperity, the peril
nacity with which it has kept before the public
it's needs and it's battle to bring the sentiments
of the people up to the progressive ideas of the
successful communities of the present day would
demand our gratitude. Starting out as an aux
iliary, it has developed into an independent Or
ganization that is working and accomplishing
long after the last feeble effort Of the father
association has ceased to be memory.
Where are the men who should put their
shoulders to the wheel and force the town to
the front in growth and prosperity? Coving-
toms advancement is the outgrowth of natural
conditions, and is due to no systematic effort on
the part Of it's citizens Why should we let the
women do all the work Indeed, it is time for
the men to get together, form union and share
the burden.

There were some who thought the whole woods
was a park sufficient. But since the Council
has had initiative force and strength enough to
declare that park was not only needed, but
that we should have one, the whole thing has
been accomplished without swapping the town

Pays 500 for Two Moths.

Although Baron Walter Rothschild
paid local scientists $3.50 for n Gala
pagos Island turtle which is suppos-
ed to be more than five hundred years
old. and although he paid the same
local scientists $l.750 for collection
OF butterflies, the titled collector has
written to New York to say he con.

moths.
While criticising the price, he paid

they may show that he is willing Il

of letter 10 the chairman of an or

make no attempt To influence either

must be. above all things, deliber

own administration must continue to
be impartial and must not be tribu
tary to any candidate.
His present attitude puts him in the
open AS at least n receptive candi-

Roosevelt will furnish the next move
of political Importance in the can
vass for delegates to the Republican
national convention by answering the
open charges that he Is using the
federal patronage to further the can.
didacy OF Secretary Taft
Incidentally the statement made by
Governor Hughes in his letter to
James S. Lehmaier announcing his
candidacy, that the state admin!stra-
ton must continue to be impartial
and mus. not be tributary to any can
didacy." has caused so many com.
ments on the contrast furnished by
the candidates. of Governor Hughes
and Secretary Taft that II is felt by
the friends Of the President that some
positive action must be taken to coun-
teract current criticism.
The FIRST step in the move to clear
the administration skirts was made
today. The President asked each
member of the Calfnet for n list of
the appointments sent from his de-
partment to the Senate requiring con.
iirmation, to be used in n statement
TO be made from the White House
about patronage. All the members of
the Cabinet were consulted MT todays
Cabinet meeting except Secretary Cor.
telyou, who will see the President to.
morrow, and all of them are at work
on the lists.
SONG of the things which have
aroused the administration to n reali.
cation OF the necessity for action are
OF recent occurrence.
More serious than all have been
charges that federal ofliceholders all
over the country have been working
industriously for Taft. This is true
In some localities and not in others.
But that an effort is being made to
line up the postmasters of the coun.
try for Taft is not disputed
But the main point, in the opinion
OF observers. has been lost sight of
by both the President and the sepa.
tors who are fighting the Taft candi-
dacy; that is. the improperly of fed.
eral of1lceholders being active at all.
