Bogus Reform.

h One Of the chief clauses Of the
railroad rate law passed by the last
Congress was ,"tbe commodity
clause" which went into effect on
May of this year. There ma S
evidently been collusion be-
tween President Roosevelt, his
Attorney-General, and the Interstate
Commerce Commission to nullfy
the clause by refusing to prosecute
those railroads which are openly dis
obeying the law. The provision
tina. railroads after May could not,
without being law-breakers own or
sell commodities which they
controlled, was intended especially
to cover the mining and selling Of
coal by the so-called coal roads.
That provision was added to the
law in Difference to the united pub
lie opinion that for the railroads to
own and also transport coal was a
monopoly that was undesirable and
added greatly to the cost of coal to
the people. When the law was un-
der consideration by Congress, Pres
ident Roosevelt and a majority of
the Republicans in Congress were
insistent that the commodity clause
should be added to the law. But
the law is a dead letter, and has
been nullifed by the Executive Of
fcers of the government refusing
to enforce it. Yet the Republicans
claim to be reformers.

JOHNsON'S PLATFORM.
Please Wall Street and the Thieving
Trusts.

Trusts.
The Springfield Republican says
the platform adopted by the Mime
sofa Democrats in placing Gov. John
son before the country as Presiden-
tial candidate, is manifestly keyed
to suit the Eastern and Southern con-
servative wing of the party, while
containing compliments and conces-
sions calculated to concilate the fol-
lowing of Mr.. Bryan. No one who
was ignorant of Gov. Johnson's re-
cord in Minnesota would know from
this platform how much of a radical
he had been in his present office, for
the platform contains no hint of
some of the policies which, as Gov
ernor, he has advocated,
This appeal to the conservative
wing of the national Democracy is,
however, the kind of politics which
Gov. Johnson's Presidential candidacv
now forces upon him. He must win
the nomination, if that be possible.
not by competing with Mr.. Bryan in
his own line, but by setting himself
up as a contrast. Gov. johnson
Presidential candidacy had its origin
in the growing desperation of those
Democrats who could not endure the
thought of another Bryan candidacy
or the thought of Bryan in the White
House, and its chief dynamic force IS
derived from the bitterness felt for
Bryan by the elements. represented
most conspicuously by the New YORK
World.
The Johnson platform will not
disrlease those elements. They are
making a stubborn contest in the
hope of taking advantage of the two
thirds rule, and it is upon that alone
that, practically speaking, Gov. John-
sons hopes now rest.

premacy of the military over the
civil power. Its sins of commission

SENATOR ,Tillman's contention
that the solution of the race prob
lem is the disfranchisement Of the
negro has been embossed by every
Republican Congressman by voting
to reduce the South's representa-
tion in Congress and the Electoral
College because of the property and
educational qualification for voters
in this section.

The johnson bureau at Washing
ton sends out the statement that the
Albany Journal, a strong Republi-
can paper, says "New York is now
Democratic by fifty or one hundred
thousand and will cast its electoral
vote for the Democratic nominee
for President, unless Bryan is NOM
mated" Of course, the Journal
wants the Democrats to win, and
that is why it warns the party
against Bryan. At least that is
what the Johnson bureau would
have usreueve.

IT is about fixed that Taft will be
nominated for President on the

may lack few votes now, but he

Warning on the South.


The passage by the House Of Rep
resentatives on, Friday Of an amend
ment to the publicity bill providing
fora reduction in Congress and In
the Electoral College Of the repre-
sentatiyes Sof those States which
abridge the suffrage in violation Of
the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution is q direct blow at the
South. The. measure will not be-
come aalaw at this session, but Il
the Republicans carry the elections
this fall with decisive majorities
they will no doubt pass this measure
as punishment to the South for
not voting the Republican ticket and
helping that party uphold the Trusts
and other diabolical schemes for rob-
bing the people. This is the first def
mite step taken to enforce the alter
native provision of the fourteenth
amendment since the failure Of the
main provision Of that amendment
in the killing of the force bill several
years ago.
The adoption of this amendment
S q concession to the sentiment OF
the South on the race question and
agrees with Senator Tillman's con-
tention that the negroes should be
disfranchised. It's adoption by the
Republicans. would; be an acknoW-
ledgment on their part of their
abandonment; of the negro, as well
as the abandonment by the Federal
government Of the undertaking to
enforce negro suffrage in the South
ern States. This solution OF the
race question has no terrors for the
South. AS it. has been said frequent
ly this section is prepared and IS
willing to pay the price Of maintain
ing white supremacy in politics, to
the extent Of conceding a reduction
of it's representation in the national
government. This abandonment Of
the negro in the South by the Re
publican party means his ultimate
disfranchisement and loss Of all poll
tical rights by the enactment OF new
laws on the subject.
eff the worst comes to the South
in a choice between negro suffrage
and reduction Of representation,
there will be- no hesitation on its
part in choosing to be shorn OF a
part of it's political power in the ma
ton rather than to share that and
its home government as we'll with
the black man" says the Charleston
Evening Post. But, we agree with
the Post, that no such choice should
be offered in this day of civilization
and progress to such a people as
those who have redeemed the South
ern States and have made them to
flourish and grow rich in the face OF
+arr;f;c odds But. the Trusts are
badly frightened and it is no telling
what they may do to perpetuate
their power in the government. II
they order the Republican party to
make political raid on the South
or have their campaign contribu-
tions shut off they will make the
raid. So We. need not be surprised
at any thing the Republican party
does to please its lords and masters,
the iniquitous and theiving Trusts.
