with the solid vote of the south be- cause the south has ceased to be demo- cratic. l cannot recall a single south- ern state which possesses a really demo- cratic administration. True, the men in power use the name ''democrat'n but in practically every southern state the ad- ministratfon Is populistic pure and sim pie. Without considering the handful of Wranglfng officeholders on the one hand and officeseekers on the other which styles itself the republican party in the south, there are two distinct parties in every southern state. Every two years, sailing under the name of democrat" they hold a primary election and which ever one wins the other withdraws and leaves Its opponent to go through the form of a regular election.
 And the popullsts have secured posses sion of the southern states. The real democrats. who represent 30 per cent of the intelligence, the education, the abil- ity and the conservatism of the south. have been reduced to helplessness and are subject to vituperative abuse and denun- citation because they will not pander to the mobocratic spirit which finds it's most noted exemplars in Roosevelt and Bryan. And the worst of it is that the primary elections 1 refer to are most frequently nothing but stupendous farces in which the requirements of law are Ignored or violated and victory achieved by the most interruptions and dishonest of methods.
 After eight years of this populistlc rule in the south we find the railroad corporations on the verge of bankruptcy. Drastic legislation and drastic rules by railroad commissions have decreased earn- ings and increased expenses until we see the Seaboard Air Line in the hands of a receiver, the Southern railway tottering on the verge of bankruptcy, the Missouri Pacific stock selling at % and under, and the AtlaIYtic Coast Line, which owns the Louisville and Nashville railroad, in the condition of struggling desperately to avert further disaster. To argue against the excesses which are being carried on in the name of reform and under the form of law has become a waste of words and of time"

 Within a few days three persons who claimed an intimate association with the war President have passed away. Dewitt Fuller his private telegraph operator dur ing the war, was killed on the Erie tracks near Binghamton. In Iowa died lady to whom he Is reported to have once offered his hand.

THE EFFORT TO SAVE TIME.

Railroads Are Spending Millions i'm or-
 der to Gaia Few Minutes. Kansas Globe,
 A minute isn't much, but to gain few what a struggle is going on in the transportation worldt Time was, not so many years ago. when four weeks was counted good time in cross- ing the Atlantic: now the four-day boat is here, and the two swiftest ones strain each voyage to Top off a few minutes and establish new record. while other lines are blaming the con struction of boats which shall do even better.
 Recently the Pennsylvania railroad spent a million dollars to save three minutes between Philadelphia and Trenton, N. J. To save 90 minutes be- tween Philadelphia and Harrisburg. the same company has spent about $70.- 900, 900. Ten years ago the country re- gardsd the Pennsylvania as fast road A Westerner riding over 1t at that time marveled at it's excellent roadbed, and at a wonderful system, new to him. of watering It's engines without stopping. But in the ten years the company has spent $220,00O,000 to save an hour or two of time. to give the public more speed.
 The Santa Fe spent $10.000.0 to save seven mics ana CltiHD ONSI lHO Baton mountains by building the Belan cutoff fin New Mexico. Ten million dollars IS quite a sum. but the engi- neers can easily show that the time saved offsets the great expense.
 The Northern Pacific spent &5.o0O.oo0 last year to save a few minutes be- tween St. Paul and the Pacific. and so on with any number of roads and steamship lines. In cutting down the time. it IS estimated by experts that the railroads of this country have spent 1 three quarters of billion dollars In l the last few years. and further plans | for saving minutes are under contemp- | lation. Tunnels are built mountains | torn away, streams spanned with cost | ly bridges, grades changed and lines | moved, all at great expense in order l that we may get there a little quicker. | This is a hurry-up age in the matter of travel.

Dignity of the Taxpayer.

Many a time" said a policeman in the southern part of St. Louis to a Globe Democrat reporter. when ar resting men. especially intoxicated men. q have been told by my prison CT that he was a taxpayer and that he helped pay my wages.
 T always regarded this sort of back talk as merely drunken insolence and never paid much attention to 1t until about year ago when I bought house and lot and became myself a taxpayer. 1 had always rented before and never gave thought to taxes. but a s soon as I moved Into my own house I began to appreciate the feelings of men who resented arrest because they paid taxes.
 There Is cerainly a considerable ad- ditIon to the dignity of the man who helps support the Government. He feeis a degree of responsibility that a renter or roomer never understands. and my idea Is that every man in the country ought to become taxpayer as soon as he can; and the mere fact that he does help support the government and bears his share of the expense makes him a better citizen. Habitual criminals are rarely eaxpayers They know they may have to run any day and perhaps never come back so they do not buy real estate but are roomers and lodgers all their lives"

CURED OF THE DRUG HABIT AT
 HOME.

Six months ago I was taking 25 FITS. of morphine per day. I was despon- dent and out of heart. I could see nothing ahead of me. I had a poor appetite and my sleep was continually disturbed by frtghtful dreams. After beginning your treatment I did not lose any more sleep and enjoyed a splendid appetite. l finished taking the treat ment about the middle of December, 1907, and have improved in health ever since. l only regret that l did not know of your treatment many years ago. for life Is worth living now. Each day of natural existence Is worth more to me now than ten years of the kind of life l was living when l was using the drug. Any one who is using drugs of any kind. and will make up their mind they want to quit, will find it an easy thing to do without pain or in- convenience with a course of the James Home Remedies. I do all my own housework, washing and ironing and cook for a family of four, and did this while l was taking the treatment. Thanking you for your courteous let ters all through my treatment. I re- main.
 Yours very truly.

Although the season for longing oys-

5000 ANYWHERE N The koRlo
Favorable Action by Great English
Body Means That Ban is Removed
From Newport News Grain, and
That the Ports Traae Viii Exceed
Old Proportions.

Official advices have been received
to the eff ct that the London corn
Trade Association has declared the
grain inspe ctiOn OF the Chamber OF
Commerce OF Newport News "ofliclai.
This news came yesterday
New York. and settled definitely a
question which has been aSitaung the
shipping men OF this port. the mem
beers CT the Chamber OF Commerce
and everyone else interested IN inc
port for several weeks.
The stamp of approval from the
London Corn Trade Association
makes the inspection of the commit
tee OF the Chamber of Commerce IL
nal: certificates issued here Will DC
accepted in any port OF the world.
Fer more than month the Cham-
Der of Commerce grain inspection
committee has been issuing ceruh-
Gates to steamers loading carsoes
here. These certificates have be II
accepted thus far. because it was
known that the application for recog-
milton was pending b fore the Londo@
association. Now certificate from
Newport News can no more be ques-
toned than one from New York. ana
the ban which has been on local gram
for several years is removed.
1t is believed that the action OF the
chamber in establishing an inspection
and securing for it the approval OF
the London association will result IN
giving Newport News greater grain
trade than the port has ever before
enjoyed.
The chamber has an inspection
committee compos5 ID OF experts. head

ture Koiner, and the inspector in chiei
is MIR. H. NJ. Scheer. OF the Chesa-
peake & Ohio force. Mr.. koiner mas
expressed himself as being delighted
with the work which has been done
by the committee. and it is believed
that the local inspection is as good
as the best.
