the writer, who alone furnished
the "copy," and the printers,
including two comely young la
dies, who "set up" the matter.
BY the way, we wonder if the
average reader ever stops to
think how much time and labor
are expended in getting up a full
report of big campaign meet
ing. 10 sit several hours in the
hot, blazing sun listening intent
ly to dozen or more speakers
and making notes of their speech
es is no easy task. But a still
more laborious one is to "write
out" the speeches from the notes
thus hastily taken. Then comes
the work of the printers, which
consists in putting in type a
hundred or more pages of badly
written manuscript-assuming,
of course, that the chirography
of all newspaper men is like

their work, the "pencil pusher"

tedious job-the reading of gall

When one considers all that

"cover" big political meeting

the reading public, it is no won
der that so many newspapers

HOW LANCASTER LOOKS AFTER
FOUR YEARS ABSENCE.

Our coed friend, Mr.. T. P.
Ballard, formerly of this county
but now living in Kershaw coun-
ty, paid US d pleasant Saturday
afternoon. 1t was his first visit
here in four years, and he very
naturally marveled at Lancaster's
development. On every hand
he noted new houses and new
enterprises.
Mr.. Ballard spent the past
week visiting relatives in the
county, and in his travels about,
he says he never saw so many
chickens and old corn in the
country at this season of the
year as there are now. At the
homes of his three brothers in

found plenty of last years corn
in the barns and other evidences
of successful farming. Mr.. Moth
ershed, he says, has been farm
ing on the place he now lives
some twenty odd years, and
during all that time has never
bought bushel of corn; but, on
the contrary, has sold more than
he has used.
Mr.. Ballard was also impressed
with the uniformly fat,sleek con-

did he see a poor horse or mule,

And last, but by no means
least, the many new and better
dwellings, school houses and
churches throughout the county,
and the splendid crops, showing
the effects of the modern meth
ode of cultivation, were a rev.
elation to Mr.. Ballard. He
was indeed both surprised and
gratified to find his old no ne

along all progressive lines.

ployed with greater violence and ef- feet
 He cannot charge now that there has been dereliction and we do not think he can show to the satisfaction of the voters that a further harass- ing of the corporations is going to and more violent agitation is going to put the country into a state of rest.
 There is the tariff which is of less value as a democratic political asset than ever before. The people know more about the tariff than they ever knew before. The additional knowl- edge consists mainly of the realiza- tion that the subject is a more com plex one than they formerly thought it was and that when it needs read fjusting skill must be employed.
 Both parties agree that there must be a revision at the earliest possi- ble moment. The only difference be- tween the parties Is this: the re- publicans desire to take precautions against making matters worse while trying to make them better. There is a similar difference in the attitude of both parties toward the financial question.
 Thus the democratic campaign is restricted partly by estoppel and partly by the fact that it's issues were already republican issues, put forth in a manner to command the confidence of the country.

A MESSAGE FROM
 THE PRESIDENT

Good Cheer From the White House
 The Brown Shoe company's ship ments for the month of June were sS52 ,5O3.09, and, according to pub lished reports, we believe these are | the greatest shipments of any shoe house for the same period in this country. During the past spring | shipping season, from December F. 1907, to July l, 1908, We show a total loss in shipments of $299.O76. = 20 over the same period of the pre- ceding year, but as our shipments | show a gain of over one million dol lars per year for the last five sue cessive years, and, as our shipments for the first six months of 1907 were one million dollars ($1,OOO. .OOOl greater than our shipments were for the first six months of 1906, our business for the first half of the pres ent year is very encouraging, especial ly in view of the fact that our sales department does not remember of a condition (unless it may have been in 1S93) when the retailers were so universally disposed to defer placing orders for goods intended for future use
 However, for the past four weeks we have been on the gain side in sales except for one week, and we believe that our incoming business during July and August will show good increase for these months, also that same will be the case for the last four months of the year if the crops of the country are a fair average as now seems to be the in dications, and that our company's shipments for the year 1908 will show a nice gain over 1907
 We also believe the general busi- ness of the country for the last six months of this year will reflect the short purchases of the first six months in the way of material in crease in volume.
 Our eight great factories are now turning out their respective special ty brands with a greater degree of excellence than ever before in the history of our country.
 Our leading brands are:-
 WHITE HOUSE SHOES for Men.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA. July 14, 1908
THERE ARE BURTONS AND
 BURTONS.

We do not like to see any of our Journalistic friends get into trouble but We do not see how justice is going to be appeased if a Phoenix afternoon paper escapes a libel suit and a judgment at least equal to that which the Standard Oil is hes itating about paying. Yesterday afternoon referring to the declaration of former Senator Burton of Kansas that he was done with the republi- can party which had secured his con- jail, the paper plaintively observed:
 Tt is a pity that some republican of standing rather than former Sena- tor Burton of Kansas could not have expressed the same thought which the discredited senator gave out in Denver recently. There is a great deal of truth in what Burton said, and yet, unfortunately, coming from such ;t source it will carry little weight"
 Throughout the comment there is a lament that the only republican of prominence who has gone over to democracy is jailbird with grievance against the republican party and especially against Presi- dent Roosevelt. Yet, says the com nentator:
 Tt should be remembered, how ever, that it has been said a bad woman may have a beautiful voice, the beauty of it coming from the past morality of her. race, so it is possible for a disgraced man to utter striking truths, although he has not always been true himself"
 There is nothing criminally libel Ous so far and all would have been well if the paper had not sought to emphasize its remarks by printing a portrait of the convert to democracy.
 But even that could not be con- strued to be libel if the man rumag- ing about in the 'morgue" had not

 The Ohio MT. Burton might stand { ,,i, i, way; he might forgive the inadver- tance which has confounded his fea- lures with those of a convict, but if Mir. Burton will allow himself to be precipitated into the democratic | fold in this manner without forceful | and litigious protest he is not the kind of a man we have always taken i him to be. Hon. Theodore Burton | is not democrat; he is not a felon. He is not sore" at President Roose- welt but on the contrary is perhaps | the presidents most intimate friend ] in congress. MT. Burton of Ohio would be an migrate of the vilest sort to thus desert Mir. Taft whom he put in nomination in the Chicago convention.
 We predict that this matter will come up for hearing at the Novem- Der term of court of the third ju- dicial district in and for Maricopa county.

NARROW FIGHTING GROUND.


 The democrats, for all their early high hopes, will find the coming cam paign a very embarrassing one with lack of issues. The one condi- ton of financial depression upon which the democratic party has al- ways relied is present but it is not available for use in all parts of the country. There are of course the trusts and corporations to be at tackled as in the past, but they can not be charged with the depression from which they too have suffered in common with all the people,
 Before the depression became acute it was proudly claimed by MT Bryan and his friends that he was the pro mulgator of those policies which many people have for months connected with more or less distressing condi- tions and in those early days Mir Bryan regretted that more of his policies were not in use and that those already in use were not em-
