DECLARES TAFT, NOT PRESIDENT WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR

was his duty to resign rather than as
sist in the preparation of an unjust
act. Many cabinet officer has retired
rather than assist in the enforcement
Of orders or policies he did not approve,
and the country honored them for It,.
The placing Of the stigma of a dis
honorable discharge upon a soldier Is
so revolving to all sense of justice that
it has never before been done in this
country, except upon a judgment OF a
court martial confession or where
the accused had fed and hence could
not be tried.
There Is no pretense that all OF the
men thus degraded by a dishonorable
discharge were guilty Of any offense,
but only a part, small fraction. Mr..
Taft is willing that the innocent shall
suffer because he Is unable to obtain
evidence against the guilty.
But the most revolving thing about
the whole miserable business Is that no
such order would have been issued
against white troops. Some people
think that it would be better If we had
no colored soldiers, but every honest
man agrees that those we have ERE
entitled to the same treatment as
white soldiers and ought not to be
condemned unheard. q. N. B.

here of late. We all suppose that
it is Lille, though.

What It VIII DO.

The idea Judge Griggs has in
bringing this subject (the parcels
post) up for consideration is that,
by this proposed action of congress,
the accommodations OF the farmers
will be enormously increased, and
the merchants of small towns and
the country storekeeper will realize
an immense advantage. 1t will eff
feet a direct, satisfactory and safe
communication between the farmers
along the route and the merchants
in their own locality, which gives the
country store-keeper an incalculable
advantage, and means a great saving
to the farmer, resulting in increased
consumption and consequent larger
trade. 1t will give to the country
the pleasant situation Of allowing
the rural free delivery carrier to form
the connecting link of business be-
tween the towns, country store and
farmer Search Light.

gave his best efforts and his life for
southern independence.
The southern people rejoice that
there are so few Corporal Tanners
in the north who, after a lapse of
more than forty years, continue to
wave the "bloody shirt. 1t is too
well known for comment that the
private soldiers of the north and
south have long ago buried the

writer was one of the boy soldiers
of the southern confederacy and
prison guard and has for years num-
bered among his best friends eX-union
soldiers, and his only daughter is
married to the son of union soldier,
but finds no fault with the son-in-
law on that account; he has proven
himself to be a true man, loving
and kind husband.
AS to the inscription on the WlrZ
monument, the truth of the matter
is that the Corporal Tanners of the
north want none at all, and it is to
be wondered at why that same class
did not object to a confederate mon
ument in Washington, D. c.
The ladies of the south showed in
numberless ways their bravery and
loyalty to the Lost Cause. 1t is the
daughters and granddaughter of
these heroic southern women who
compose the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, and this band of noble
women can be fully trusted with the
duty of getting up a suitable inscrip-

Let us have peace.
From the sound Of the tocsin of
civil war in our country in 1851 to
the furling of the flag of the Lost
Cause in 1865 a great many prisoners
were captured and imprisoned by
each side.
Impartial history proves the brutal
treatment accorded southern prison
ers confined in northern prisons To-
Gated in a land of plenty. These
prisoners were guarded by ignorant,
brutal foreigners unable to speak a
word of our language, and by more
brutal negroes with bayonets fixed
and rifles loaded ready to shoot or
stab on the least prOvocation the
hated southern white man. Leaving
out the base fabrication of cruelty,
etc, made up and published by
northern fanatics against the Ander-
sonville prison, where northern pris-
oners were guarded mostly by boys
from the best families of the south,
proof is abundant to show that the
treatment of federal prisoners at An
Jacksonville was far better than the
treatment of southern prisoners at
Rock Island, Point Lookout, etc.
The true southern man and the
right thinking northern people de-
plore and treat with contempt the
rantings of Corporal Tanner and all
others of his ilk against the Ander-
sonville prison and it's unfortunate

From the Savannah News.
Unless Mr.. Bryan is careful he is
in danger of finding himself out of
whack with the reform sentiment
that is now sweeping over the coun-
try-or, at least, was doing so re-
Gently. He told the Canadian Club
at Montreal that he belonged to a
political school that believed that
every person had a right to do what
he wanted to do so long as he did
not interfere with the liberty of 9th
er persons" That is a good, old
time democratic opinion, but it has
fallen into disuse recently. The idea
now seems to be to make everybody
think as you do, or hit the dissenter
with a big stick.

The devil of debt seems to be on

clerk, he's in debt. The bookkeep-

AS for the superintendent, he can't
remember when he wasn't. The
office boy would be in debt if any
body would trust him. And all of
them complaining and acknowledge
ing the miserableness of their con-
dition.
Debt is mortgage on your salary.
Debt is a monument to young
mans weakness, a grown mans folly
and an old mans failure in the Uni
versity of Life.
Debt is discOunting tomorrow's
liberty for today's good time.
Debt is guaranteed insurance

head up-and that's more than you
can do now and you know it. You
won't have palpitation of the heart
when the postman blows his whistle,
and you won't tremble every time
the boss asks you to come into the

THE SKY is CORY!

The yellow journals are being

Not content with the United States

about to take a hand in manslaugh-
fer with Turkey, and, not satisfied

MANY. France, Italy and Great Brit
ain alone are to continue in peaceful
WAYS. But the scribblers do not ex-
emit any European nation from
trouble after the original parties to
it get into each others wool.
It has been a long time since the
sensational and exaggerating papers
have had such a chance to exploit
faIsehoods of international concern,
and it goes without saying that the
most is being made of it. All the
foundation for these alarming state
ments is that Austria is going to
build a railroad across a territory
which she was expected to, but did
not ask permission before undertake
ing it,
There is not the slightest reason
for war, and there is not going to be
any except in the CORY columns of
