plain statute against murder to en-
force and the agencies to do 80, and
he has wisely invoked the aid of mar
tial law and called out the troops to
meet an extraordinary situation.
Such crimes as those committed
by the night-riders are of the brutal,
primitive type, prevalent long before
corporations and trusts were heard of.
and in every civilized land the law is
practically the same in dealing with
them. The reforms now sought by
the democratic party move slowly. as
all large reforms do. but meanwhile
murder AMI arson can be punished in
the old way and if the conditions of
terrorism which they create are not
prevented or cured by existing crimi-
nal statutes it is simply because those
statutes are not enforced This puts
it up to the local courts, officers and
juries, and il they do not do their duty
there is something wrong vita the
public sentiment in that locality in no
wise related to predatory trusts or
corporations.
1t occurs to us that the Montgom-
cry paper puts it too strong when it
says that "the remedy for the night.
rider evil is beyond state authority or
state legislation" We should all in
sist that the cure for such fragrant
brutalities is right in our own keep
ing, fully provided by written law, and
if we don't apply it the fault is own
own.

Neaw York and Indiana, Republicans
Say, WiU GiUe Their Votes to Taft
reasonable prospects of winning.
Taft is Stronger.

Judge Taft naturally is anxious t.
carry his own state. The hope of the
Republican leaders here is that Mr.
Taft has been able in his trip through
the state TO strengthen his cause
among the labor element, 1t Is APP
parent that Mr.. Taft believes he has
helped his cause and the leaders here
are now anxiously awaiting develop
ments to see whether this view is go
ing TO be confirmed. and whether the
next week Or so will witness a gain
in their favor.
Tonic for Managers.
The visit of Secretary Wilson OF
the department of agriculture to Chi
cago has been a good deal of a tonic
TO the Republican managers. This IS
for the reason that Mr.. Wilson has
been travelling about over the middle
west and has been getting an insight
into the question of how the farmers
are going TO vote. That, after all, Is
what all the politicians want to know
about inasmuch as if the agricultural
vote sticks to the republicans, Mr..
to the White House.
Secretary Wilson has found that the
great prosperity of the Middle Western
farmers is one of the chief factors in
this campaign, that, as he believes
the farmers are not dissatisfied with
conditions, to any such extent as to
make them vote in large numbers for
change Of administration and that
by reason of this the republicans will
capture the electoral votes OF praeti-
cally all of the Middle West.
Kansas 10 Close.
He admits there is a close struggle
in Kansas and Nebraska, burt thinks
the republicans will carry them. Sec
rotary Wilson does not shut his eyes
to the fact that the republicans this
year are going to have reduced plu-
ralities In states normally republican
and he believes this will be the case
in Iowa, though having no question

When the editor of the Montgomery
Journal wrote it -tPandora's Box in
his strong leading article Friday de,
nouncing lynchers and the night-rid-
ing iniquity, and his auxiliary at the
linotype let it go as "ponderous box"
we suspect that the editors emotions
when he discovered the mistake were
inconsistent with the reformatory
spirit of his article and he was in a
night-rider, mood himself for a few
moments.

recognition of our rights as taxpayers,
and what everyone else would expect
under the same conditions.
We have heard mach about the
city beautiful" What incentive is
there for anyone to heautify their
premises when a heavy pail of filth
hangs over part of the city at all
times and makes it prohibitive for
anyone to open their windows Or doors
TO let in the few sunbeams that may
be able TO peFcolate through the
clouds of disease bearing germs float
ing thereabout?
Where is the likelihood of anyone
with common sense investing money
in a city that exhibits such an ap-
parent wanton disregard OF the well
fare of her citizens? Where the tax
es are higher in proportion to the
work done for their comfort and
benefit?
Tarragona street is the first
glimpse of the city that visitors have
upon arriving here and, oh, could we
but analyZe their thoughts or catch
the impulsive comments that fall
from taeir lips as they perceive the
hideous wave of dsssicated corruption
floating down upon them,
Perhaps. or let us be charitable and
say, it is probable. the board may
have pity AID give us water.

Senator Knox will take the stump

Grating through Texas for Bryan would
not be engaged in more superfiuous
work. Taft is welcome to Pennsyl-
vania as that is still the "enemy's

lions change, dynasties tumble and
the heavens fall, but the Keystone

sauce for the bank is sauce for the de-
positor.
Against this perfectly equitable view
Of the case Mr.. Taft and his party
have nothing to urge except that such
absolute security to the depositor
will tend to deprive the banker of his
motive to be an honest man, seeing
that his depositors can lose nothing no
matter how reckless he may be with
their funds. This puts the integrity
of human character upon a plane
quite consistent with the predatory
policies of the republican party.
But even if it were true, which it is
not, it would not impeach the value OF
the democratic guarantee scheme, for
it is of more importance to the general
public that they should have their
funds in bank protected than that the
private character Of the banker should
be made the paramount object of gov
eminent solicitude.
Because appointees to public Office
who mold fiduciary relations are com
PEELED to give bond for the faithful
performance of duty the appointing
power is not the less careful to ap-
point only honest men, and, by parity
of reasoning, because bank deposits
are secured by law bank officials will
not be held by public sentiment to a
less rigorous standard of personal
integrity and sound, conservative
methods.

sion at Tallahassee will be the mother
of Governor Gilchrist, the latter being
a bachelor. Grover Cleveland went
into the White House a bachelor, and
supposed TO be confirmed in the habit,
but he hadn't been there long before
he won the heart of a very charming
lady and made her his wife. 1t is no
harm to hope that Governor Gilchrist
may be equally fortunate.

Here is pregnant sentence from
an East Coast paper which the saloon
men in such territory as is left them
in Florida might do well to read and
profit by: I'm Dade county especial
ly there are saloon keepers who by
openly and defiantly breaking the
laws are only making the way for a
dry county" A good point well made,
even though we have all heard it be-
fore. There is an inherent sense of
obedience to law in all men and even
those who frequent the lawless sa-
looms have some feeling of resentment
against the habitual infraction of law.

The settlement of the Mays-Kehoe
controversy, which leaves only the
former in the field as the democratic
nominee for congress in this district,
doubtless strikes the republican aspir-
ant for that position as most mop
perfume occurrence which reduces his
own candidacy to the unsatisfactory
level OF a barren ideality." A diviI-
ed democracy is always a good thing
for the republicans, even in the South.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1908-10-25

What is fair for the depositor should
be fair for the banker. A western
farmer, discussing the proposition to
guarantee bank deposits as endorsed
by Mr. Bryan, puts it in this conyinc-
ing form:
When 1 go to the bank to borrow
money they ask me to get my farmer
friends to go my security. When 1
puts my money in the bank l want
the banker to get his banker friends
to go his security"
Mr. Taft would find this shrewd
view of the case a tough little nut to
crack.

Now that Mr.. Kehoe has withdrawn
from the congressional race it would
be good idea for number of papers
in the Third district which continue
to denounce him in a peculiarly
vicious spirit and have worked them
selves up TO high state of infiamma-
ton on the subject, to get cool and
courteous once more. There is no
cause for further combustion.
