Past state Master Walker OF the

fact that the farmers were spurning

were permitting their boys to be edu,

clared. while tempting 70 a youth, was

Mr.. Walker created sport among the

that il had always been high and good.

Charleston News and Courier. alsy a HSSf: BSs:had ' s Ss fsSSnE siR5Sf letter written by MT. Bancroft to his wife during the campaign. Ioes between leading supporter of MT. Polk. appears: 'Tuesday Night, october, fs44.
 Do not imagine that 1t requires courage at this time to be Democrat. What Is more ridiculous than Clay.s g Posf0RWy ESsn WeSstea.

 No more courage Is required to. be a tSfo%r yeaDs aDw asowhsn were scarcely tolerated as respectable in MT. Bancroft's State. Massachusetts, and the same common sense reasons point that the plain duty of an Ameri- can citizen istto be Democrat.
 The alliance between A Taft and "Jlm" sherman is quite as lncongru- and Repubiicans in the last century The 'monstrous policy" of protecting labor by taxing laborers is still the central policy or the hepuolcans who inherited 1t from the Wings
 Mr. Bancroft was one of the most brilliant and conscientious scholars of his time--he believed in American De- mocracy because he understood 1t. No perceivlng and unselnsh student of to- day can support the party of privilege. the party that cherishes a tariR for the Confessed benefit of the few. with out feeling quite guilty and oppress- ed"-we suspect that William Howard Taft. who has in some awkward fash = ion struggled a little for tarin reform, is familiar with this same sense of op- pression.
 Now as ever to support Democracy may give a quiet heart and tranquil sleep, and a good wife and loving chil- dren," and that is why American clti- zens who understand the institutions of their country, except tn ose of the peo- pie who have special favors to ask, would naturally vote for Bryan and Kern.

 The Advertiser is not responsible, di- rectly or indirectly. for what any oth- CT paper published. but The Advertiser proposes to expose the man of straw that The Democrat IS setting up and knocking down for it's own ediflcation.
 But if The Advertiser had misquoted and misrepresented MT. Lusk. which it didn't, would it's offense havo been any greater than that of The Democrat in misquoting and attempting to discred- 1t contemporary? If The Advertiser had originated the error of placing Mir. Lusk in a false position. which it didn't, would it have been worse than the error of The Democrat In quoting statements that were never made and in charging wrongs that were never done?
 It would be interesting to note if The Democrat will correct it's state ments after being informed of their incorrectness"

Taft and the south.

MODlle Register.
 The New York Commercial seems to have an excellent insight into the ori- gin of the report that Mir. Taft has d chance to disrupt the Solid South" ion that If the Taft committee were in possession of letters from South ern Democrats of prominence, promising support of Taft, the letters would not be held back, but would be given pub licity. to encourage the others, as the French say. The fact that there Is no publication of such letters, ls proof sufficient hat the letters do not exist.
 The Commercial ridicuIes the thought that the large Democratic majorities of 1900 and 1904, cast by tho Southern States, for the Democratic candidates of those years can be overcome. Tn ere are no signs in the South of an anti Bryan movement; and, even If there were such signs. they should not be in ment. There are many Democrats who will not vote for Bryan. There arc many who never have voted for him and never will: but they are not vot- they done so in past time.
 Northern people have great difficult ty understanding the attitude of the Southern white men. They recognize South and that it is hardly possible tha at all these people agree In policies directing the welfare of the nation. Therefort. they think that there Is a
 
 Tn ere is no such probability, however. Every policy is subordinated to the one well understood necessity of the whites standing together for the main, tenance of white supremacy
 Oh There we have 1t again! tn ey exclaim. The same old cry of white supremacy, as If there were any dan ger of the blacks ever getting on top
 We'll we of the South are not taking any chances in matter so serious. TAA ball of politics, and we cannot say what will happen. Let the Democrats divide, and there will not be lacking some efforts to use the negro as a lever. The Republican carpetbaggers gave us an example of how the thing Is done and of the deplorable results We want none of it.
 Imagine the British residents of In- dia dividing politically and each fac tion courting the aid of the Hindus and Mahomedans in obtaining office. How long could they live there under such conditions? The rule of the em- pire would fail in short order It is the same thing here. White man'a government Is good for the country IL is absolutely necessary Neither the here under negro rule or under mixed white and negro rule. This may as well be understood. and the situation not be trifled with. The South ern whites stand together and will con- tinue to do so. MT. Taft will spend his money in the South, but 1t will be wa sted. There is not the ghost of a chance of a single electoral vote for h I'm from any strictly Southern State

A Peaceful Keynote. CnllIar'a WAekIY

Golfers W6eklys
 There Is every opportunity this sea son for a campaign of argument. free from bitterness or alarm. We are, ourselves slightly more Democratic than Republican but care practically nothing for party lines. and in the present situation look upon MT. Taft with more confidence than upon Mir Bryan; upon the Roosevelt wing of the Republicans. likewise with more com fidenoe than upon either wing of the Democrats. Nevertheless, we face No- vember entirely without fear. MT. Bryan, in some respects would make high class President He certainly would be far above the usual standard in moral principle. As no snapsho ot financial cure-alls could pass the Re- publican Senate. no legislative danger could come from his election. The most positive result in Legislation would be a halt in the so-called Roose- welt policies. due to the division of party power at Washington, and the chance of such a division Is leading some big fnanciers to support Bryan. "A deadlock of that sort, they say, will mean four years without rhanEe -four years of assured tranquility. If Taft on the other hand is elected the country will have the Roosevelt brand of reform rontinued. but by more 1u- dlrial and less alarming personality. which also pleases the large financial world; so to thls paper 1t seems as If everybody ought to he happy. conAdent and ready at once to go to work.

WEDNESDAY,, AUGUST IF, 1908.
The Birmingham Ledger says:


 On the question of wages of miners The Ledger sympathizes with the men who want good wages. The Ledger wages are for the good of all This district needs good wages. the coal miner particularly needs and deserves good wages.
 As we understand 1t, the matter of wages is not specially involved in the disagreement between miners and op- orators. Wages paid have been good and most of it more than good. It is the question of compelling the owners of the mines to give up their own rights and recognize only union min CTS. If the operators would consent to have only union labor. we venture the trouble would be settled In short or der. The right of men to unite Is not denied, but when in order to carry their point they blow up houses, shoot into trains and murder innocent people, ev- cry possible means at the command of the State should be used in order to bring the guilty ones to punishment. Alabama has already been injured in good name to an untold extent by the way in which public officials bow and serape before the miners union.

sHABURY BOLTS HEARST.
New York Judge auits the Indcpen-
 dence Party

denee Party
 New York World.
 Supreme Court Justice Samuel Sea- bury. generally recognized as the strongest single figure in the political movements headed by William R. Hearst. and whose forceful efforts con- tributed materially to. the large vote polled by the Municipal Ownership League and the Independence League in 1905 and 1906, has withdrawn from the Independence Party.
 In a statement made to a reporter of The World yesterday in his summer Justice Seabury made clear his reasons for the action he has taken. Summa- rized. they are as follows:
 First-That tn ere never has been a national convention which was so com pletely dominated by one man as the Independence Party's recent Convention at Chicago.
 secondeThat regularly elected dele gates were denied admission to the Convention and other delegates were prevented by threats of physical viol- ence from expressing their views in the Convention.
 Third-That delegate who attempt ed to present William J. Bryan's name in the Convention was grossly in- suited and forcibly eJeeted from the
 Fourth-That Mir. Hearst has come to regard the vote polled by the In- dependence League in 1905 and 1906 the promotion of his own ambitions or to gratify desires for personal re- venge.
 Fffth-That William J. Bryans fail- ure to support Mir. Hearst's candidacy for the presidential nomination in the Democratic convention at St. Louis in 1904 does not justify MT. Hearst in us ing the organization of which he is leader to injure MT. Bryan.
 Sixth-That the purpose of Mir. Hearst's Independence Party in nomi- mating a ticket Is to divide the oppo- sition to MT. Taft.
