The total vote cast for the different Presidential candidates amounted to l33.721. This vote was nearly 10000 short of the vote cast in the primary Governor select Brown received be- tween them nearly 210,000 votes.
 Taft received his biggest maiorities in the counties in North Georgia, coun- ties with practically no negro vote. He carried in all .twenty-six counties. The Republican gain over 1904 was i7:2es. Roosevelt receiving only 24,-
 watson carried seven counties, his total vote this year being 5.121 under that received by him in 1904.
 One surprising development of the election is that the prohibition candi- nearly 100 more votes than did Chain. notwithstanding the fact that the State was then wet and has since gone prohibition. ing offlce in Georgia under the incom- ing Republican administration, if the Taft clubs organized in every county in the State and compactly formed in- to a State organization has any weight with President-elect Taft.
 These clubs in each county and the central organization. are composed of white men, there being no negro in the entire membership.
 Already prominent GeorSians are be- ing suggested to supplant the few ne- groes now holding ofice in this State.
 The increased strength of the Re- publican Party, 1t is being urged by the Taft Club members. was recruited from the white citizens of Georgia and not from the r"groes..
 In view of c disfranchisement law, which goes into effect in Georgia on January 1, 1909. thousands of negroes who voted this year will not be able to stand the educational qualification tests and will not be able to vote the Republican ticket four years hence even If they wanted to. and the fact that thousands in Georgia. 1t Is said did not vote for Taft on. Tuesday, on account of the Brownsville episode. is being used already to show MT. Taft why he should appoint all white Re- publicans to office in Georgia this year.
 This will mean that a fight is to be made upon H. A. Ruoker, the negro eolleetor of customs in Atalnta, and J. H. DeveauX, the negro collector of the port at Savannah, the only large plums now being held by negroes.
 With Taft clubs organized through out the State bringing pressure to bear, it is believed weight will be had with the President in making these appointments.

SOUTH DAKoTA,s SHAME.

Has Been Set Aside by Popular Vote. Sioux Falls, g. D., Special to Memphis
 Commercial Appeal.
 Tn the referendum of last Tuesdays election. the people of South Dakota have voted overwhelmingly to end South Dakota's famous divorce mill |. After the State eanvassing board meets at Pierre, in the first week of next month. and announces oficially that the new law has been approved, 1t will no longer be possible for the discon- tented wives and husbands of the whole world to come to South Dakota and by spending six months, obtain a secret hearing. freedom and the right to engage in more marriages. The statute approved last Tuesday will change the destinies of families throughout the United States. and put an end to an industry worth $500. .oo0 year to Sioux Falls. s9o
 The new law provides that the plain tiff in an action for divorce must have been an actual resident in, good faith of this State for one year and of the county where an action is commenced for three months preceding the suit.

 It is deuced hard to please some peo- ple, and impossible to please all of them, especially in the case of the newspaper man. The Lincoln Neb.) star tells of getting two letters on the same day from subscribers who order Cd their paper discontinued. One was a Democrat who stated that he would not read The Star longer because 1t fought Mir. Bryan's election and had 4oosmuch to say for MT. Taft. The oth- CT letter was from Republican who said: T am a Republican and am dis 1usted with your leaning toward Bry- an." Thus it appears that The Star was trying to split the difference and ofrended both sides-a not unusual re- suit of trying to please everybody.

 This is the class of immigrants this district is in naed of.

ter. One Is that they win thereby plaeats the dissatisfied clements in their own party. which element has shown itself to be a political factor not to be trified with. As The Courant ex- plains. the standpat folly of Republican Congresses has aroused feeling of an- ger and distrust among Republicans that will not longer be trifed with. and perhaps the leaders now may take warning and do what should have been done by them before now.
 Another reason that may actuate the party leaders and bring about genu- inc reduction is that 1t will be good politics. To reduce the tariff as it should be done will do as much to take the wind out of the Democratic sails as anything they can do. The Democratic demand for lower and more equitable system of tariff duties has been one of its strongest issues. It should have been the paramount issue in the late | campaign. but was not. If their posi- tion as advocates of a low and just tar-
 if shall be taken from them by the
 Republicans. and the latter carry 1t out fairly and fully. 1t will strengthen them
 and weaken the Democratic Party. As
 0 matter of fact, an honest and Senu-
 inc revision by Republicans will not
 only be good for the country but will
 be good politics.
 But will the tariff protected trusts
 aud great corporations submit to a
 change that will cut largely Into their profits and decrease their gains? On
 the other hand, if these protected and welI-nursed concerns decide to make a
 light against reduction will the lead
 CTS run the risk of making enemies of these powerful interests? That is 2 | phase of the matter that will be more difficult to settle satisfactory than any thing else connected with the tarin
 question. It would be absurd for the | Republicans to deny that these trusts .have heretofore contributed largely to 1 the success of their party and to now turn against their benefactors will not only be ingratitude but might be very
 bad policy to pursue. Altogether 1t oc- CUTS to us that those who control the
 policy of the party have ticklish job
 ahead of them as tariff revisionists.

 of Courtesy to German Emperor. New York. Special.
 F. H. Scott, publisher of the Cen tury Magazine. stated this evening that the omission in the next number of an interview with Emperor William was purely a matter of courtesy to the kaiser and that the magazine gladly assumes the large financial loss occa- sioned by the widespread advertising of the article written by William Bay ard Hale.
 In the smothered interview, 1t is re- marked. that the kaiser spoke of affecting the United States in a man. ner that would have aroused as great a storm of public wrath in this coun- try as has been aroused Tn Great Britain by the kaiser's interview in which he says he outlined the cam. paign against the 1soers.
 Mir Scott would not speak of the matter prepared in the interview. He said that everything was covered by the announcement of the Century that Mir Hale had been permitted to with draw the. copy because of recent de- velopments.
 to the kaiser. said MT. Scott. T have nothing to say as to whether the re- quest to have the article suppressed came from him or not. I have noth- ing to say regarding any exchange of messages or anything else. The Gen. tury simply believed 1t courteous to omit the publication of the interview and has done so."
 MT. Scott was asked if the maga- zine had not been at an expense esti- mated at from $10 ,00O to ,O00 in ad- vertising the interview with the kais- CT. and If any arrangement had been made with anyone for reimbuFsing the magazine for its outlay.
 Tt is a matter of simple courtesy" MT. Scott said. the magazine does not consider the matter of expense thought of. "
 In advertising the interview the Cen tury announced that 1t dealt with ''im- pressions of President Roosevelt-waF and Christianity-the true mission of wealth. the principles of architecture the Roman Catholic Church.

As e result of the recent conference at Newport the de- signs of future battleships will be mod filed in many particulars in accordance with recommendations consistently made by officers of the line, which sug- gestions have been hitherto, and quite as consistently .pigeonholed by the con struction corps.

 In doing this he will repudiate the primary law which he framed and which was designed to give the peo- pie the right to select their Senators, the voice of the primary election be- ing considered binding upon the leg islators, who actually do the electing.
 Stephenson won in the primary by several thousand over the nearest of his three competitors, but LaFollette plans to make war on Stephenson be- cause of the great expense ot the pri- mary. The LaFollette campaign will be to obtain a legislative investigation of the primary expenses.

Judge Lurton served sew en years on the supreme bench of Tennessee, and was appointed by Pres ident Cleveland a United States Cir cult Judge of the Sixth Judicial Cir cult. He has served in that capacity about fifteen years. He is very pop ular in all parts of his circuit, em- bracing the States of Tennessee. Ken lucky Ohio and Michigan.

 The Republicans rejoice to think that the Democratic Party Is dead" an effective opposition being the last thing in the world they wish to see, although the countrys welfare de- mands it. It Is quite plain. however, that there are still more Democrats in this country than would appear from the Presidential vote. for they elected tbefr State tickets in half a dozen States, and in New York and Illinois their candidates for Governor. though daTeate ran very much ahead of Bryan. The Democrats also gained Several seats in the House of Repre- sentatives and they will secure few Senatorships.
