TAFT AND THE SOUTH.

Ihat appeal which Mr.. Taft is to
make to the south In the address
which he is booked to deliver In Hot
Springs on August 81 will attract ma,
tional attention. An attempt is to be
made by the national committee to
take away from the Democracy two
or three more southern states than
those which that party has lost in re-
cent presidential canvasses. 1t is un.
derstood that Virginia, North Caro-.
lima and Tennessee will see a more
active Republican campaign than they
have ever witnessed in the past. The
only states which are now left to the
Democracy are the eleven which com.
prised the government of Jefferson
Davis In 1876. None of the old
Confederate states have been won by
The Republicans since the close of
the reconstruction period. Parker car.
ried those states, and also Maryland
and Kentucky. Maryland was won by
Mckinley in 1896 and 1900, but was
recovered by the Democrats I'm 1904
through Boss Germans Goebelized
election law, which gave the Demo-
Gratis all the electoral votes in that
state except one. Kentucky was car.
ried by Mckinley in 1896, but Bryan
won 1t in 1900. just as Parker did in
1904. The Republicans carried Della.
ware and West Virginia in every elec.
ton, beginning with 1896, and thew
won Missouri in 1904.
1t would seem rnat the Republic
ans, under the present favorable con.
ditions. ought to be able to win one or
two more Of the ex-slave states in
1908. 1t is clear that Mr.. Taft and
the national committee think the
south. in several spots. is a good place
in which to make an energetic can.
vass this year. Mr.. Taft is very DOB.

many states in that section dislike
Bryan. although accepting him ON the

In another part of The Herald ap
pears what transpired In the district
court. Judge Pike presiding, Wednes
day afternoon. in relation to the affair,
of the Colorado State bank. The Her
aid Monday published three PROPOSE
tions submitted for settlement and aft
erwards amended proposition &c" al
follows:
The said syndicate will furnish
money forthwith to purchase all
doubtful" and worthless" assets
OF the bank. as the same are SO
listed In the report of the receiver,
heretofore filed herein, at sum
which. added to the value of the
assets listed by the receiver as
good" and the cash in the hands
OF the receiver, will equal the to-
tai of all the outstanding demands
against said bank.
The said proposition &C." II ac-
cepted is not to be dependent upon
any further subscription for bonds
or other assets mentioned In said
petition, but is to be executed and
carried into effect as soon as the
amount that 1t will be necessary to
pay hereunder Is ascertained by
the fixing Of the receivers reason
able charges. allowances, expenses
and attorneys fees, and the prop
erty can be turned over, conveyed
and delivered in accordance with
the proposition. all subscriptions
heretofore made under the plan out
lined in said petition to be allowed
to stand and to be carried out
under order of the court.
Now. Mr.. Depositor, you have been
Iold by the receivers organ, the Du-
range Democrat. that If deposttors
we're assured of receiving dollar for
iollar that Mr.. Boyle would donate
Ills services-would not charge one
'ent, and in the face of this the only
hing standing between a settlement
nd every depositor being paid within
he year 1908 is the exhorbitant de-
land Of securetes to cover salary of |

receiver and attorneys. Now, you Door
washer woman depositor. with money
earned at the rate Of $3.50 per day
over the washboard. you poor laboring
man with money earned at the rate of
" and $S per day. can have
your money in full II Mr.. Boyle and
his attorneys will agree to accept
5000 in cash for their services, all
other necessary running expenses to
be paid by the bank officials in addi-
tion. Mr.. Boyle has been receiver a
trif1e over seven months. Not suit
Instituted by the receiver has been
tried. and advice and drawing of pa
pers is the only consideration given
the receivership by the attorneys In
question. and If Mr.. Boyle will agree
to accept $4,000 spot cash for him
self and attorneys, Notwithstanding
the statements In the morning paper
that the receiver would not charge
dollar, the affairs OF the bank can
be settled at once. To allow Mr. Boyle
$4,000 for himself and attorneys would
mean $25 day for every working day
since the receivership and to divide
this between receiver and attorneys
would mean $3.50 per day for Mr..
Boyle and the same for his attorneys,
and In this connection it should be
borne in mind that every dollar Of ex-
pense Mr.. Boyle has been put to
has been paid out of collections and
the $4,000 would be net. And in the
face of this. Mr.. Depositor, Mr.. Free
man and his associates are willing to
put up $4,000 in bonds and leave it
to the court to allow a reasonable
charge.
1t is now apparent, Mr.. Depositor,
why the receiver made an affidavit in
filing his suit against the stockhold
ers that 1t would require more than
$150,000 in addition to the regular as
| sets OF the bank to wind up the affairs
| of the institution. II $4,000 in good
| securities are not sufficient to insure
Mr.. Boyle and his attorneys pay for
| eight months, figure the amount neces.
sary covering several years of re-
ceivership and long drawn out liu-
CATION. And 1t is now plain to de-
positors why those backing Mr.. Free
man would not put up secureties to
be turned over to the receiver. They
will do 1t for Mr.. Freeman but they
will not do it under present manage
ment. and surely no one can blame
them. II Mr.. Freeman was willing to
turn over to Mr.. Boyle he could not
deliver the goods for the reason those
who furnish the money will not listen
to II.
In conclusion, Mr.. Depositor, the
only thing standing between you and
your dollar for dollar before the close
OF 1908, yes, ninety days, is the fixing
of reasonable compensation for the
receiver and his attorneys, and The
Herald Is proud to say that it has cham
pioned the cause of Messrs. Freeman,
Chapman and Eldredge when friends
have come to the front in such splen-
did manner to see them through, and
proud of the further fact that we ad.
vised against depositors selling their
accounts for song when the receiv-
er's report. according to his newspa-
per. would not pay 25 cents on the
dollar.

Democrats in Georgia, North Carolina.
Tennessee and Virginia Is 70 marked
that many astute Republicans think
that some of those states may be won
this year. Delaware and West Vir-
ginia are sure for Taft. The revolt
against Bryan by many Of the Demo
cratic business men in Baltimore
seems to render Taft's victory in Mary
land pretty safe. Kentucky's election
OF Republican governor In 1907 by
lead of $4,000 makes that state very
good fighting ground for the Repub-
licans this year. 1t must be remem-
bered that Bryan was almost as much
of an issue in the governorship can
vass of Kentucky last year as was
Beckham. Bryan was called into the
state by Beckman to take the stump
for Hager, Beckham's candidate for
governor. And Bryan made 1t plain
to all the voters of Kentucky what ef.
feet a Republican victory for gov
ernor in 1907 would have on the vote
| of the state for president in 1908. He
pointed out to his party friends that
If Wilson should carry Kentucky that
year the state would be sure to go to
the Republican candidate for presi-
dent In 1908. no matter who that can
didate should be. The voters OF Ken.
lucky heard Bryan for his cause and
his candidate. They defeated the can
didate, and 1t is safe to presume that
they will beat Bryan and the cause
this year. In Missouri Taft has also
fair promise of victory in 1908.

Pernicious Activity.

Mr.. B. H. Warner, in connection with his
campaign for the congressional nomination
In the Sixth Maryland District, has filed
with Attorney General Bonaparte charges
of pernicious political activity against ID. W.
Baker, United States Attorney for the District
of Columbia, and Peyton Gordon, OF Gath
ersburg, of the Department Of Justice. Mr..
Gordon, who had been previously trans
ferred to Idaho left Washington City last
Sunday.
Mr.. Bonaparte replied that neither man
complained of was in the classified civil ser
vice, and was therefore not amenable to the
Presidents order of June 10, 1909, unless 1t
were shown that they were neglecting their
public duties, using their official authority
or influence, or giving scandal in promoting
success of any candidate or party. The AT
torney General said that he was Informed oil
no such conditions connected with the al
legged political activity of Messrs. Baker and
Gordon.
Mr.. Warner replied that he charged and
would sustain "by proper affidayits that
both of these gentlemen have, by scandal'
GUS conduct, transgressed both the spirit
and letter of the Presidents order" and de-
clared himself personally aud financially
responsible for any statements he makes.
He adds that he can support his declaration
with petition signed by several hundred
voters.
Announcement is made by Mr. Warner
that this week he will file charges against
every postmaster in Montgomery county
whom he considers guilty of violating the
Presidents prohibition against undue polit'
ical activity.

Recipe for Rheumatism,
Directions TO Prepare Simple, Yet Remarkable
Home Mixture

Directions 10 Prepare Simple, Yet Remarkable
Home Mixture.
There is so much Rheumatism here in our
neighborhood nov that the following advice
by an eminent authority, who writes for
readers of large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who suffer :
Get from any good pharmacy one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce
Compound kargon, three ounces Of Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake these we'll
in bottle and take in teaspoouful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
It is claimed that there are few victims Of
this dread and torturous disease who will
fail to find ready relief in this simple home
made mixture, and in most cases perma-
nent cure Is the result.
This simple recipe is said to strengthen and
cleanse tho eliminative tissues OF the Kidneys,
so that they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids and waste
matter, which cause not only Rheumatism,
but numerous other diseases. Every man or
woman here who feels that their kidneys are
not healthy and active, or who suffers from
any urinary trouble whatever, should not
hesitate to make up this mixture, IS 1t Is GER
tain to do much good, and may save you
from much misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggist says he will either
supply the ingredients or mix the prescrip-
ton ready to take II our readers ask him.

George and Jones.
BY Y.

Sam Jones, who was assistant foreman in
the construction of my grandtather's mill,
was General Washington's slave.
Great George, of patriotic will,
From Yorktown up to Bunker Hill
Is Father OF his country still,
As Jones was OF the Broad Run Mill.
While starry banners DER George wave
The corn waves over Samuel's grave
Let me, in these forgetful days,
Propose word in Samuel's praise.
would not soil our Fathers name
Nor steal jewel from his fame,
Would rear the marble DER his bones,
And place the sandstone over Jones
No magic current drove the lathe,
In those our country's youthful days;
No nodded iron formed wheel,
Or made the framework OF reel;
Twas only handwork, no alloy,
From master wheel to hopper.boy.
George fought with might, but made no
bill
While Samuel built wooden mill;
But Sam ne'er cut cherry tree
Nor swore at Major General Lee.
In this our day touched pity means
When In the mill of Samuel Jones.
Long years ago his work was done,
His hand work never more TO run,
A ragged begger still she stands,
With fractured brow and soiled hands.
Go gid the tomb of Washington
With starry flag and glory's sun;
But let me deck the silent stones
That crowned the work of Samuel Jones.
