He Does Not Know Us.

Gov. John Johnson, of Minnesota,
should learn something more about
the political conditions of this coun-
try before he comes forward again
as a candidate for the Presidency.
According to an Associated Press
report of an interview with him at
Norfolk on Saturday, Gov. johnson,
in the course of a general denuncia-
ton of the Crumpacker bill for re-
duction of the South's representa-
ton in Congress said he did not be-
lieve the President would sign such
a measure should 1T pass Congress
and he believed it would cause the.
defeat of Secretary Taft. "That
measure" said Gov. johnson, will
array the solid South against MIR.
Taft" In commenting on this bad
break on the part of Governor John
son the Charleston Post asks what is
the Solid South If it is not a fixed
and immovable opposition to Mr..
Taft or any other Republican candi-
date for President? Why should
the passage of the Crumpacker
amendment have any effect on the
Republican candidates. standing in
the South? The Minnesota Governor
knows the conditions in the South so
little that it would never do to COM
nit their guardianship to him.
Every word the Post says is true, but
what could we expect from a man
who knows nothing about us or our
politics. He liyes too far away to be
much interested in US and would new
er have known us had not the presi-
Dental bee got to buzzing in his ear

If you NOW the lawn as often as sug-

How to Dry Wet Furs.

Few furs are spoiled by slight damp
ness, but none will be pretty or even
serviceable after being thoroughly sat
urated with water unless properly
dried, for much moisture stiffens the
skin and causes it to crack. Chinchll-
la is usually quickly ruined if soaked
with rain, while some other skins will
be uniniured if hung in dry, but not
hot, room and shaken every two or
three hours. If wet fur garment is
fastened to the wall or door, etc, so
the grain of the skin is down, permit
ting the moisture to run off, the result
when dry will be most satisfactory.
When the first heavy wet is gone, 1T
is well to use light riding whip to
beat the fur slightly, thus Fastening
the drying as well as preventing the
hair from mating. If the fur is a soft
one such as chinchilla or seaiskin, it
should be rubbed with velvet hat
brush when quite dry. Hard furs,
such as mink and lynx, require stiff
bristles. lynx always being stroked the
way Of the grain.

GAS to the other black republics,

single petty domain, as they make
up but a single island. the peril that

They also are beset by the danger of
decay from within, and would soon
perish of that malady, were it not
that a surer and swifter fate awaits
them. The first visions that France

Made o Bust.

1t seeems that the people Of Rich
mond. Va, was very much disap-
pointed in the speech made by Gov.
johnson, the News and Courier's
candidate for President, before the
American Cotton Manufacturers
Association, in that city. which he
had been invited to deliver. The
Richmond Evening Journal. in COM
menting on the speech, says: I'VE
hardly think an association of men
SO thoroughly familiar with the cot
ton business in all its details would
have invited a man from far-of
Minnesota to give them information
upon subject about which he him
self acknowledged he knew little,
and that little what he gathered
from government statistical reports
which are open to all. We must
therefore, conclude that Governor
johnson was invited here in the ex-
pectation that he would make an
address upon the vital issues OF
the day." We see no reason why
any one should expect Gov. johnson
to understand the South, her people,
her needs or her institutions, and it
is nonsense to expect him to discuss
them intelligently. He was afraid
to say anything about them and
therefore he discussed the old thread
bare subject of cotton, about which
his auditors knew more than he
could tell them in hundred
speeches. If Gov. Johnson has ever
been South before he came down
here in the last few weeks vote hunt
ing we have never heard of it. Ii
Governor Johnson knew more about
the South and her people his name
would never have been associa-
ted with that of Cen. Miles on
a Democratic presidential ticket
by his chief backer and most init
mate personal and political friend,
Congressman Hammond, Of Mime
sofa, who claims that this man who
treated President Jefferson Davis
with extreme cruelty and brutality
while a helpless prisoner in Fortress
Monroe would make an "ideal run
ming mate" for Gov. johnson. No
doubt Gov. johnson agrees with
Congressman Hammond in his choice
of a running mate.

An Effort to Save Souls.
votes.

In the Southern Presbyterian AS
sembly, now in session at Green's
boro, N. c., the following resolution
on evangelistic work was presented
on Wednesday morning by Rev. DR..
A. A. Little: Whereas, we believe
that the great need of our church is
more evangelistic preaching on the
part of our pastors and more dill
gent effort on the part of the church
to reach the unchurched and unsaved
this general assembly would urge on
all our ministers to seek more and
get more of this spirit Of prayer for
the salvation of souls and to use
more evangelistic efforts in the pull
pit and out Of it to bring souls into
the kingdom Of God" This reso-
luton hits the nail on the head, and
if it is adopted and acted on it
will accomplish great good. If the
churches were doing their duty
there would be no need of such a
resolution, but we fear that the
churches of all denominations are
too much engrossed in money get
ting and other material things to
bother with trying to save souls:
The greatest preacher that ever
lived said in an immortal sermon:
but seek ye first the Kingdom of
God and his righteousness, and all
these things shall be added to you"
Let the churches follow this, and it
will have no need to bother about
money and other material things, as
then people will give without the
asking. What all of our churches
need more than any other thing is
true, genuine baptism of the Holy
Ghost extending from the door to
the pulpit. Then the old dry bones
would be made to live again.

Deno,lnce Exchange Methods.

The committee of the Cotton Man
ufacturers Association, which was
appointed to investigate the meth
DDS of the New York cotton ex-
change and to reccomend a change
in the form of cotton contracts, has
made a very exhaustive report.
They denounce the speculative fea-
ture encouraged especially by the
New York exchange and lament the
fact that it is not possible for spin
ners to depend on quotations for
the purchase of cotton. The varia-
tions in the market and especially
the discrepancy between the spot
market and the contract prices,
makes the exchange of value only to

JUNIOR CIVICS LEAGUE.

Society of School Children Organized
to Beautify an illinois Town.
To instill the principles Of good citi-
zerlship among children junior civics
league made up Of boys and girls who
are students at the Foster street school
has been formed in Evanston, III.
The youngsters, all Of whom are un-
der fourteen years Of age, have taken
on themselves the task of assisting in
the Identification Of the Fifth ward, in
which the school is located. They
have assisted in the cleaning up Of
streets, alleys, back lots and yards and
have rescued large part Of the ward
from the typical spring time dirt and
disorder.
Committees from the league have
visited Street Commissioner Housel
ard been directed by him against some
Of the places in the ward which were
most in need Of attention. One Of the
plans Of the league for the spring Is
the planting>of flowers and vines along
unsightly fences and walls, and the
ward as a result promises to be one Of
the most attractive in Evanston.
The league was organized under the
direction of Miss Ellen e. Foster,
principal of the school. 1t not only in
terests itself in such purely civic mat
ters as cleaning up the ward, but has
debates, lectures and outdoor meets
and games, 80 that not only the mind
but the body is developed.
Practically every boy and girl In the
Foster street school Is member. The
roll is thus large enough to enable the
organization to take hold Of large
tasks and accomplish them. Miss Eos
ter believes that all the children who
come under the right sort Of influence
will make the right kind Of citizens
and that the taste for municipal bet
terment if cultivated early enough will
be q permanent one.
1t is probable that the work will be
placed on a much wider basis than it
is at present in Evanston and that
other schools soon will assist in car
rying out the league idea.

Silas Brown of SlumbertoWn,

Used to sit around and snore
In Sleepy Griggsby's general store.
6ilas had for comrades there
Tabby with the tiger hair.
Fido with the stun1py tail.
Which he pounded like q fail.
Sleepy Griggsby (owned the place)

Said to Silas Brown one day:
Look here, ST." said Griggsby. SAY,
Hain't no gain for you in that
SnooZin' like pussy cat.
Dozin' like an ornery pup.
Say, 81 Brown, wake up. wake up!"
81 snoozed on. He was asleep
In slumber truly deep.
Then Sleepy GriggsbT, he got mad,
Took to feeling fiercE and bad,
Swore he'd rouse that Silas Brown
If it wakened half the town;
He would see that Snoopy 81
Got an opener for his eye.
Griggsby rummaged round and round.
Finally on a shelf he found

Things intended for flash
Namely, fireworks. quite bunch.
(Sleepy Griggsby had a hunch
He could waken Silas Brown,
Likewise half of Slunbertown.)
With a quaint and careless air
Under Sis accustomed chair
Griggsby laid his line Of works.
Had a cunning like the Turks.
Then upon his sole match
Did the willy Griggsby scratch,
Lit the fuse and fired the mine
With humorist'S design.
Snoopy Silas-Silas Brown
Surely wakened half the town
With his mighty howl and yell
AS he rose and as he fell.
And the pussy and the pup
Likewise they went up and up,
Coming down in different places
After truly curious races.
Folks came running to the store
Seven hundred. maybe more;
Said they were tarnation glad
To discover Griggsby had
Fireworks and they'd like to buy
For the glorious Fourth July.
So Sleepy Griggsby sold his stock;
Store was rushed till six o'clock.
"All of which," said Silas Brown
At the point where he came down,
Having settled there to rest,
"Shows that north or east or west.
South or anywhere at all
On the big terrestrial ball
Stock will surely take q rise
If you'll only advertise"
