THEY PROTEST.

me proposition to change the words of ''Dixie." has met but little en- couragement, either North or South. Some of the purists in language find fault with its sytle, 1t is true. but they would change anything that doesn't suit them, regardless of sentiment or association. As The Philadelphia Press says, it is far better to let Dixie tell it's old story in it's old homely way that has endeared 1t not only e the South. but all America, than to clothe it with words which its first army of singers never heard" Another Northern paper to protest against any change is The Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle. It asks why a Northern concert audience greets Dixie" with such enthusiasm, and answers it's own question thus:
 It is because we know what Dixie" means; because its associations stir the blood and awaken human sympathy; Because the memory of the great con nict brings thrills without bitterness; because out of the struggle came a united nation. each part admiring the valor of the other, and both parts now rallyfng around the same flag. Don't mutilate Dixie" It means much. It is a part of our history. The North somehow. has come to regard it as a national asset. and would not want to see the starch taken out Of 1t by liter ary meddling and manipulation.
 These two papers voice the prevail ing sentiment North and South. Though in some respects the old song belongs to the South. and by it's music, its words and associations has become dear to all who have heard 1t in war and in peace. the Southern people are not alone in their love for it. It is fast becoming as generally loved and as thoroughly nationalized as ever Yankee Doodle" was. and few will re- gard with any patience any proposi- tion to change it. Let the critics and purists wrTe songs to please them selves. but let no profane hands be laid on Dixie. Let it remain as it Is and continue to tell its story to all Am orleans regardless of section.

Big Crops in Sight.

Chicago Tribune,
 No sign of returning prosperity IS more hopeful than that furnished by the government report on crop condi- tions. These are busy days for the far mers.

 Rain, floods. and bugs have been re- ported as doing damage to crop pros poets. But the returns of the reapers are expected to show that nature mas been generous in the extreme despite working destruction. The farmers are to be congratulated on the bright out look before them.
 The Presidential campaign will have ditions. Full restoration of prosperity may not come until after the votes are counted out in November But the tremendous crops are sure to bring con tentment, more movement Of cars, move income to the railroads, more business for the merchant, more set clement of mortgage indebtedness, and an easier condition of affairs general ly For these reasons the farmers are not the only ones to be congratulated The crop reports mean better times for every one.

THE GOLDMAN CULT.

That Emma Goldman person an- nounces to all who care to listen that she and those who believe with her "ciaim the right of rebellion when government becomes tyranical." Then she proceeds to extend and specialize her meaning and theories. American ism is misunderstood" she proclaims. "just as early Christianity was misun- derstood. When Christians first began to organize they were persecuted by those who did not know of their be- liefs. and that continued for centuries. Anarchists are martyrs in the same way. People are willing to accept what others say about anarchists, but will not try to understand them. We are absolutely opposed to churchfsm-the word Toistoi uses to express the power and influence of the church. We are opposed. because the modern church no longer follows out the teachings of Christ. and has abandoned the doctrine of love. The modern church, we be- Iieve. is undermining human thought; and agree with the great Tolstoi that the church no longer serves the op- presseds but serves the golden calf. Tnsre are some exceptions among Fchurchmen. such as Edward Everett Hale, a beautiful and lovable person. and Mir. Duncan of Butte, but on the whole they serve capitalism"
 From an academic point of view we may admit that Ems declaration in the first sentence quoted is sound doctrine. The right of rebellion always exists as the last resort of oppressed and down-trodden humanity. We Ameri- cans tried it in 177e snd made a fairly good job of 1t. At all events. we suc- ceeded In what we undertook and have built up rather respectable republic as result of the venture. Our fore fathers considered England tyrannical and rebslled themselves out of her Jurisdiction.
 That rebellion" was right in theory. correct in practice and was successful in its results. and hence it was com mendable. Our Yankee brethren in- sist that we southerners rebelled in 1881 but we deny the soft impeachment. We merely wanted to split the blanket and were willing to give them much the greater portion. but they wouldn't play that way. They wanted all of 1t and got 1t. confound 'emi
 The trouble with Elm. and her sort is that all stable and orderly govern ment Is tyrannical from their point of view. Freedom in their eyes means the right to live without the restrain ing influences of sound government. It means disorder. anarchy chaos, and all else that is undesirable and un- American. Emma Goldman and her kind may fool themselves and may fool some good people. but they cannot make the world believe that our govern ment is tyrannical merely because 1t refuses to let them follow their dan- gerous bent.

That venerable plutocrat appears as '"one irresponsible be more than one-"this irresponsible tyrant." Uncle Joe type of brutal au- tocrat." It Is hard for MT Gornpers to work himself up into this pretense of a tempest, and his fury and vocab- ulary are somewhat monotonous. How ever he has done his duty, 1t may be his pleasure. He has done something for his salary, and the Danville ancient might find his satisfaction with himself and much of the rest of the world less complete if the Gompersian message had not been emitted.

 Already the Republican campaign is being laid out with the assurance that William H. Taft will be the candidate for President. It is an interesting program, even so far in advance.
 Popular opinion fortified by sugges- tions from Washington, names Frank H. Hitch cock as general manager ana George von L. Meyer as solicitor of contributions for the campaign chest. It is already announced that the re- ward of these servicees snail De- when MT. Taft Is elected--the Secre- taryship of the Treasury for MT Meyer and the Postmaster-G -Generalship Tor MT Hitchcock.
