TIE TIMES AND DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY APRIL 3, 1905

it with the inspiring confidence Of
man who has studied the subject, has
watched economic movements in the
United States and considered the
principles underlying them. A de-
claration for tariff reform is not new
in South Carolina, but tariff re-
/: form dc .'a.atiDn that Is neither par
rot-like nor platitudinous has novel
ring in a state which has neglected
for years the political issue most
nearly affecting the prosperity of
the people.
We do hot like Mr. Evans endorse
ment of Congressman Hobson's idea
that congress be asked to pension
Confederate veterans, we think that
plea useless and, therefore, ineSpe-
dent, but it is to be said again that
Mr. Evans has reason for the faith
that is in him and his ground that
the North was the aggressor in bring
ing on war is logically supported.
In advocating an elastic currency,
Mr.. Evans is at one with everybody.
Opposing a central United States bank
he occupies historic Democratic
ground, but this opposition will re-
uuire to be defended with other ar
guments than those of tradition and
sentiment. While we incline to agree
with the Spartanburg candidate, the
Greenville candidate. Mr.. McCul-
Tough, will deserve considerate
hearing Tor mis- cause, the argument
of 1885 not necessary being pertin-
ent to the conditions of 1908.
Mr.. Evans position as to immi-
grafton is at least as sound as The
News and Courier's and Senator Till
mans views on the same subject
views to which another candidate,
Col. George Johnstone, gave vlgor-
Gus public utterance at a time when
Senator Tillman's mind, we believe,
was engrossed with the consideration
of the negro as the best and lndis-
sable laborer for the Southern fields.
Other parts of Mr.. Evans an
nouncement will arouse future dis
cussion and criticism, but the truest
comment that we can make on 1t as
whole is that its author shows
clearly that he conceives that the
duties Of senator in congress re-
ouire careful study and some under
standing Of economic questions af-
fecting the whole country, and it Is
refreshing to have an occasional con-
tribution from a candidate touching
larger propositions than free rurai
delivery routes, highly important as
the later are sometimes.

ton offered a plank which followed
the sentence demanding revision by
the next congress with the words,
''To the end that the further fos-
tering of trusts and monopolies by
the tariff srall hepreventcds It is
said he assured the subcommittee
that he had consulted with the par
ty leaders most interested on his
plank and that it had their approval.
This was accepted as an assurance
that the president and Secretary
Taft had approvedit. Nevertheless
General ]. Warren Keifer offered a
prompt and warm protest against
talk of fostering trusts and monop-
olies in connection with the tariff
plank of the Ohio republicans and
enough of the subcommittee took
his view to chloroform the Burton
plank then and there.

TeGdy's Retreat.

'In other circumstances" says
The New York World, referring to
the program of palliation recently
put forth by Mr.. Roosevelt in the
form of a message to Congress, lit
might be difficult to believe that the
hand which no longer ago than jan
uary 81 purposed to cut out rotten
ness from the body polite is the
same hand that is now so gently mas
sageing all the sore spots in the e'e'
ments of political influence. 1.-The
message" continues The World
fully confirms the report that Re-
publican national convention will be
held June 16, and that there will be q
Presidential election in November
(which my policies are to be sub,
mitted to the people" The World
concludes that eff anybody who
votes or contribution to campaign
fund was overlooked in the prepara-
of this tionspecial message it was not
because Theodore Roosevelt does not
aim to please" We agree with the
Charleston Post that 1T is sad COM
mensarv, indeed, on the manners and
morals of our times that the loudly
hailed and vociferously proclaimed
dlscoverer and champion of right
eousness in politics should presume
to become a timese!vcr in the expec-
tation of satisfying the people of the
United States that he is qualified to
direct, rule and govern them. 1t is
not astonishing thai Theodore Roos-
evelt, moralist, should expose his
true character thus, because he has
done that in hundred different in
stances, trucking to influence which
he could not beat down, but it is a
bit startling and and exceedingly de-
pressing to find Theodore Roose-
velt, master politician, concluding
that surrender of principle and open
concession to adverse interests will
preserve his dominance. Will he
disprove Lincoln's theory that it is
impossible to fool oil the people all
the time?

Too Near the Troutn.

The awful charge is now made that
at the recent session of the Ohio re-
publican convention Messrs. Roose-
welt and Taft aided by Congressman
Burton tried to insert real dem
ocratlc tariff plank in republican
platform" General j. Warren Kei-
fer, a stand patter, is credited with
having foiled the attempt. The
charge put out is that Mr.. Burton,
with the approval of Roosevelt and
the Roosevelt candidate, tried to
have the Ohio platform charge the
tariff with fostering monopolies and
trusts. Bryan never had unkinder
words than these for the Dingley
and M Kinley laws, so the republi-
can reactionaries say.
A Washington letter says the
Ohio platforms history began in
conferences held in the city of
Washington in which the presi-
dent, Secretary Taft, Congressman
Burton, and Attorney General Wade
H. Ellis took part. When the rough
draft they completed was turned
over to the convention committee on
resolutions at Columbus that COM
mittee struggled with it for bit.
according to the dispatches, and
then turned the problem over to a
subcommittee of which Mr.. Burton
was chairman, and several OHIO
congressman members; General j.
Warren Keifer was one of these.
The platform as adopted had this
tariff plank:
"A revision of the tariff by spe.
cial session Of the next congress
insuring the mai anance of the
true principles OF protection by i'm.
posing such customs duties as will
equal the Inference between the
c,s,.: , I production at home and

cessive duties, American manuf4c-
turers, farmers. producers and

Quoting Scripture

J ne New 1OrR WOrlO HaS puplio1A-
ed a pamphlet against William j..
Bryan, and heads its list Of reasons
why Mr.. Bryan should lay down the
party leade, ship with this quotation
from First Samuel:
"And every one that was in dis
tress, and every one that was in debt,
and every one that was discontented
gathered themselves unto him; and
he became a captain over them; and
there were with him about four
hundred men,"
The Fort Wayne, Ind. Gazette
says the parsonage mentioned in the
question is, as everyone knows,
David, the son of Jesse, and just why
the New York World should hold
him up as warning to Mr.. Bryan is
past comprehension. Indeed, the
prophets of Organism could find
nothing from cover to cover Of the
Good Book that so aptly fits Mr..
Bryan's case, nothing in the wide
range of literature or history, sacred
or profane, that forms more strik-
ing parallel. or, what was more,
justifes more sanguine hope of Mr..
Bryan's ultimate triumph.
There a good many people who
are in debt distress, millions who
are in bedt land going broke every
day), millions who are descontented
under trust rule, and they have in
deed gathered themselves unto
William J. Bryan, and he has became
a captain over them.
But the World should have pur-
sued the subject further, and have
recounted what the captain and his
four hundred did, It's all in the
book of Samuel, too.,, Like Bryan
touring the world and returning
welcomed as no American had been
welcomed, David returned from his
wanderings, and here is what he and
his four hundred did.
Here it is as we find it recorded in
the First and Second, Books of
Samuel:
And David smote them from the
twilight even unto the evening of
the next day.
And David recovered all that the
Amalekites had carried away.
And David took all the flocks and
the herds which they drove before
those other cattle, and said, This is
David's spoil.
In the second book of Samuel, we
read:
And the men of judah came and
they appointed David king over the
house of Judah.
Now there was long war between
the house of Saul and the house of
David; but David waxed stronger
and stronger and the house of Saul
waXed weaker and weaker.
Then came all the tribes of Israel
to David into Hebron and spake,
saying behold, we are thy bone and
thy flesh.---V:1.
And David reigned over all Israel;
and David executed judgment and
justice unto all his people.
By all means let US liken Bryan to
David. Their histories are so nearly
similar that the last verse we quoted
rings like a prophecy, in whose full
fillment the American people will
bear their part next November.
All that is necessary to carry out
the simile is to let the World play
the rule of Saul, and no witch of
Endor is needed to foretell the re-
suit of the coming battle.

Capers Hedging.

A dispatch from Washington says
Mr.. P. B. Chase, owner of 3 theater
in Washington has been made defend
ant in a suit for damages. Mary
Stewart, a negress, nurse and maid
in the family of John G. Capers.
internal revenue commissioner,
brought action for $4,000 damages
against Mr.. Chase, alleging that she
was elected from the theatre at last
Saturdays matinee when she pre-
sented a ticket for an orchestra seat.
According to the petition filed by
the plaintiff she had accompanied
Commissioner Capers and his two
children, aged 8 and II years. res
pectively, to the play house. Mr..
Capers did not intend to see the
performance and left the two child
rem in the care OF the nurse after
buying tickets for the party. The
doorkeeTer refused 10 accHp: the
ticket and, 1t is alleged, told the
nurse to stand aside, whereupon Mr..
Capers pushed his way through the
line and demanded an explanation.
The doorkeeper, it is asserted, in
formed Mr.. Capers that under the
rules he was powerless to admit the
woman as negroes were not allow
ed to Occupy seats in the orchestra.
While vain protests were being
lodged, the nurse. it is alleged, was
a victim of rude" treatment at the
hands of one Of the theatre employ
es. Capers is backing the woman
in her suit. In fact he is said to be
the inspiration of it. Capers intends
this as a grand stand play to fool
the negroes into believing that he is
a real negro lover, but it will fail.
1t proves however that a renegade
white man can fall pretty low once he
starts down the hill.
