Steals a Horse as a Climax.

This performance the bandit enacted
eleven times. 1t is, understood from
the meager accounts of the affair re-
ceived here that he collected in all
more than $1,000 in money, drafts
worth $4,000, and much valuable
jewelry. The fact that tour
lists in the park are not permitted to
carry weapons made it impossible for
any of the passengers or drivers to Of
fer resistance. The rObber was man
about fifty-fve years old, weighing
about 40 pounds. After holding up the
last coach he disappeared into the
hills, and it was afterward found that
he had made his escape on a horse
belonging to the transportation con-
pany.

Don't worry about Georgia" re. marks The Raleigh Evening Times. and no doubt 1t is right. There has of late been much discussion and comment as to the political action of Georga in the present contest. It was made plain that the Democrats of that State prefer red another to Mir. Bryan as the lead CT of the party. but that is all settled and there is but one thing for party men to do. All this talk about large numbers of Democrats going over to Taft is idle. and the claim of some that the states electoral vote will be given to Tom Watson is equally so. We have too much faith in the true and tried Democrats of that State to even im- agine such thing as their desertion from the party standard in this time of need. The people of that State have not forgotten the years of trouble and suffering brought on them by the same party that is now represented by the Roosevelt Taft combination and they will show it by their votes. Georgia is all right.

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.

Never, since the red-coats of King George departed for always from the sacred precincts of blue-biooded Bos- ton have the almost sacred precincts of the old city experienced such cataclysmic shaking up as they re- ceived last week. Never have the de- scendants of the Puritans received such . rude awakening. such a soul ul-sicken- only a few days ago when three des. peradoes literally shot up the town or a portion of it--in the hilarious nanner which has long been regarded as the true and genuine Western way of doing things.
 The papers have had full details of the atfaIr. Three desperate characters. known to be foreigners. and sometimes alluded to as yeggmen, after shooting their way through a saloon, escaped along one of the public streets. and. although pursued by scores of officers. shot their way out to the woods. leav- ing a trail of dead and wounded be- hind them. Readers of "Deadwood Dicl' and other stories of like elevat- ing CD nature can easily picture to themselves the scene and the excite ment caused by the performance. Bos- ton newspapers literally had attacks of yellow over the outburst. The staid old Globe indulged in headlines an inch high to give force and emphasis to its details. The main point is that the old city has been worse than shocked 1t l, has almost been earthquaked.
 Now. we all know what a solacing, souI-satisfying pastime 1t is for the papers of the effete East to dwell on 4he disorder, the lawlessness and the boisterous amusements of the wild and wooIly West Even though the descrip- tion no longer fits, and although the ] West is generally as orderly as any portion of the Union. the brethren along the North eastern shores cannot give up the habit of looking on the West as only partially civilized, and as being really unsafe for the quiet citizen. Nor has the South entirely escaped this style of criticism, and we occasionally get a slap from the land of beans and codfsh.
 And Boston, let 1t not be forgotten, has long set itself up as the hub of the universe. the centre of civilization and the nursery of well-ordered citI- zenship and the abiding place of all that is high and noble and orderly in human affairs. Yet here we find law less rufiians dashing along the streets. shooting right and left, and causing havoc. consternation and various other things among a people not accustomed to anything more alarming than the explosion of nrecrackers. What will history and tradition do to Boston in 'the future? Mothers will cuddle their children about them and relate in awe .struek whispers the events of that dread time when Boston was shot up. ,1s there not room for much sadness over this fall from Bostons lofty lpedsstalf

Major ThrockmortOn's RetOrt.

HarperS weekly.
 Major Throckmorton, an innkeeper of Louisville in ante-bellum days. was one of the most interesting char acters that ever helped to make life worth living or history worth read
 Here are some of his deeds: He elected Charles Dickens, the great English novelist, from his hotel; he stared at him impudently, and he made at least one retort worthy to be handed down from generation to gem
 The Dickens affair is known to all, and the umbrella episode to most of the old Kentuckians. The man was staring in most tonenstve way at the Major. who, annoyed at his per marked: My friend, I'm just an or dinary man, although look so grand. .' To which. the reply came: You don't

 German forestry fs remarkable in three ways It has always led in sci- entific thoroughness, and now it Is working out results with an exactness almost equal to that of the laboratory; 1t has applied this scientific knowledge with the greatest technical success; and 1t has solved the problem of securing through a long series of years an in- cerasfug forest output and increasing profits at the same time. Like other advanced European countries, Ger many felt the pinch of wood shortage hundred and fifty years ago. and though this shortage was relieved by the coming of the railroads. which opened up new forests, and by the use of coal. which warning was needed, and systematic State forestry was begun. After all, the scare was not q false one, for even today Germany Is not in- dependent. as regards wood, since she has to import one-sixth of all she uses. Tn addition to the wood supply question Germany was forced to undertake for- estry by the need of protecting agri- culture and stream flow. The troubles which France was having with her mountain torrents opened the eyes of the Germans to the dangers from floods in their own land. As result the maintenance of protective forests was provided for by Bavaria in 1852. by Prussia in 1875, and by Wurtemberg in 1879.

 The Record has received the follow W Swhat is the difference whether Bryan or Taft is elected? Judging by their past, which one of them should receive the wage-earner's support?' card explains that he is reader, 1t is hard to believe that he reads The Re- cord, because as s9on as Mir.

What The Record does 1t might be taken for grnated 1t would advise all It's readers, whether wage-earners or bank presidents. to do.
 The Record has more recently ex- plained that the election of Mfr. Bryan or Mfr. Taft Is merely incidental; the fundamental thing Is the control of or the other. We believe the tariff to be q tax and therefore burden. The burden is far larger than the revenue derived by the Government. because is to enable the domestic manufactur- CTS to raise their prices, so that the tariff tax is paid of domestic as well as foreign goods. But the domestic manyfacturers do not get nearly so so suppose. The demand of manufactur- CTS for a reduction of the tariff shows they are walking up to this. The manufacturers have to pay 70 the men who control raw materials--the men who have acquired timber lands and mining lands and who graze vast herds of sheep on the public domain---the greater part of what the tariff enables them to get from the wage-earner and other consumers.
 We believe that free raw materials would be for the interest of wage-earn- CTS and the country generally. We believe that there must be government al economy or else there will be an inc crease of public debt or more taxes. For these and other reasons we believe that the interests of wage earners and of all classes of the community, except owners of sheep ranches, pine land on mineral lands, the gift of nature. demand the success of the Democratic Party

 To raise rates now would be to in- vite trouble. It would inject an issue Into the campaign which doubtless would be welcomed fby opponents of the party In power. and which would precipitate demand for prosecutions under the antitrust act. There Is lit- tie doubt that a concerted and uniform advance of rates throughout a great territory by competing lines would vi- olate the Sherman act as construed in the traffic association cases. To make that advance would be to call down from the business community demands that prosecutions be forthwith started under that statute. Both political and business considerations would compel cerity and complication of existing ner- vous disorders would inevitably fol- low

Tt fla the First Thousand thae COunts--
 Save That and You're on the Way.
 "The thing that counts" said a man of independently large means aecumu- lated by hard work, saving and wise investments, @s the first thousand doi- lars; when you've got that amount to- gether you are beginning to get some. where. and with that start you will want to keep on. The red Ink interest entries that you sec put down in your savings bank book twice year will strike you very pleasantly indeed. AS interest on your thousand dollars you'll get $35 or $40 in year, your money has begun earning money for you.
 "You'Ve got an income now and you'll want to add to 1t. You VII leave that interest in the bank to be added to your principal, and now your interest will begin to draw interest. and to be sure you will keep right on adding to your principal too. and every six months you'll see those red figures growing bigger and bigger. pretty fig- ures to contemplate; and you'1l keep right along saving. But the thing that really counts is the first thousand dols lars. Get that and you're all right. And you'll always be glad you saved 1t.
 financial independence, or like having at least some money laid by Then if you want money you've got it. You don't have to go to friends to borrow and take the risk of being re- fused, the risk of being compelled to go without what you need. If you've got money in the bank you can go there and get it. There might come a time when you would need money for your family or yourself very much; it's q grand thing to have it where you can get it.
 There's nothing mean about being saving and accommodating money; Oh the contrary 1t Is every mans duty to make himself financially independent. I don't mean at all that man wants to set out to accumulate great wealth {; there's no great fun in that; but what he does want to do Is to get together enough to live on modestly."
