The subject of winter lawns has
been taken up by the Pensacola Jour
nal, which says every home in that
city which has yard room should have
one. The same is true of Jackson
vile and of every other city in the
state. In this climate it is easy to
produce a sward which will keep
green throughout the winter and add
greatly to the appearance of the
premises. All lawns should be fresh

The night riding criminals who
post and burn cotton gins doubtless
expect a certain measure of public
sympathy-because their motive is to
hold back the cotton crop with the
hope OF enhancing the price. But
they need expect no sympathy from
the great mass of Southern farmers,
and Harvie Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton association. spoke
for the latter class wnen he said in
his address in Memphis Monday be-
fore. the convention OF that body:
The very thought of might riding
or the posting of gins should have no
place in the minds or hearts of a civ
ilfZed people. The ginners of the
south are in no way responsible for
the low price of cotton and never Will
be. They should not be made the suf-
ferers, or even threatened with the
loss OF their gin plants because they
simply provide the medium through
which raw cotton is converted into a
commercial form
And President Barrett of the Farm
ers' Union, whose convention is now
in session at New Orleans. mdoubt-
eddy entertains the same sentiments
and will probably express them.
With his peculiar environment the
Southern farmer has a greater stake
In the cause of law and order than
any other man in this section. and
for him to give countenance to night
riding in any lawless form would be
like lighting the match that fired the

Our sea island cotton is entitled

the price down to the injury of the

CANARD NO. 1

The big republican newspapers of the
country are printing, under prominent
headlines, the story that the British
underwriting house of Lloyd's is insur-
ing business men and stock brokers
against the election of Mr., Bryan lover
Il million dollars of insurance" was
placed in Wall street last week, we are
told, the premium being 10 per cent
The Chicago Record Herald tells it's
readers that 1.-The policies have been
taken out mainly by brokers and finan-
ciers who are long OH the market and
who were anxious to hedge against q
smash in stocks in the event of Bryan s
election" The Chicago Tribune evolves
the catchy explanation that "the new
method of election betting owes it's
origin to u manufacturer who felt con-
tident of a sharp revival in business
following the election of Mr. Taft, and
was anxious to run his plant at full
capacity during the months preceding
election, if only he could protect him
self against the contingency of Mr..
Bryan's success"
The World-Herald ventures to correct
this statement by making it read that
1.-The new method of election betting
owes it's origin to an INSCRIPTIONS and
mendacious Taft press agent, who feels
confident that the American people can
yet once more be fooled with CUFF and
buncombe"
1t is the shame, the burning, blister
ing shame of the republican party, that,
campaign after campaign, it should base
its appeal to the people on such rot as
this.
Is there no decency left in the repub-
iican campaign managers Have they
no courage? Do they trust to no
principle? Have they no honest argu-
ment to PRESENT. Isn't there IL single
worthy ideal concealed somewhere in
their souls?
1t is hard to answer in the affirmative
when they feed tho public on such slop
~ this. They seem to size up the
American people as Il mob composed of
fools and clinging sots, who can be
deceived by any tale, however pre-
pOsterous, and who can be beaten into
line with an imitation club stuffed with
feathers and thistledown. -- Exchange.

POLITICS AND RECENT PANICS

Mr.. Bryan is perhaps justified, from
the political standpoint, in attributing
the panic of 1907 to the republican party
i'll view of the fact that the republican
platform of 1896, when Mr.. Bryan was
a candidate for the first time, attributed
the panic of 1893 to the democratic
party. Neither panic had it's chief
cause in politics, although govern
mental policies in u measure contributed
to them. The panic of 1893 was one of
our periodical financial commissions and
had its real beginning in the great
Barring suspension in London in the
winter of 1890. So far as politics played
part in it, both parties were responsible.
The republican party, scarcely less than
the democratic party, was committed
to silver legislation, while the election
of Cleveland in 1892 on tariff revision
platform impaired further uncertainty
to business and spread the flame of
panic.
The panic of 1908, instead of coming
without any legitimate excuse, as the
b ryan platform alleges, has long been
foreseen and was the result of inter-
national money market conditions that
were quite Independent of political de-
velopment. So far as politics had a
part i'll it, it was due to the pressing on
the part of President Roosevelt of
policies for government regulation and
corporation reforms, policies which Mr.
Bryan himself has commended.
The republican platform is equally
partisan and unfair in charging that
only through the operation of republi-
can policies was the panic of 1907 saved
from equaling 1.-THE familiar democratic
panics of the past" The panic of 1907
