HOnOrs are Even.

New York Post: In the lively contest in political
purity between Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan, Mr. Taft
has just scored point by announcing that the
publican national committee will not accept any
contributions from any corporation. The honors
between the two candidates seem now to be about
even, though in view of the intimate relations be-
tween the republican committee and the corporations
in recent campaigns, Mr.. Taft has made the greater
renunciaton Mr. Taft's position in this matter
is, like Mr.. Bryan's, entirely creditable Although
the courts have held that presidential electors
state officers and, therefore, beyond the scope of
the federal law he will adhere to the spirit and not
the letter of the statutes. Nobody deny, of
course that if it is undesirable that elections of
congressman shall be influenced by corporations,
which may often command enormous resources and
thus determine the result, it is equally undesirable
that the presidency shall in any be pawn
in the game of finance. In view of the promises
of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan which but reflect the
growing sentiment against the lavish of money
in elections, the campaign seems likely to be more
free from scandal than any within the memory of
the present generation. For this clearness of vision
regarding the evil of corruption in politics the coun-
try is largely indebted to President Roosevelt The
fact that this great apostle of morality personally ap-
pealed to E. H. Hartman for a campaign contribu-
ton in 1904, that Mr. Hartman responded by rails
ing 100000, and that this money, paid in just be-
fore election day. turned-as Mr.. Hartman said
so 900 votes in New York City alone has done
much as any other thing to convince that
pure politics and financial piracy incompatible
partners.

Prohibition in Georgia.

Atlanta Constitution: Is Georga's prohibition
law to become dead letter? Was the object of
the law to recognition of the legal status of the
liquor business simply by refusing to grant it license
or was it to prohibit the manufacture and sale of
intoxcants within the state?
In the former it has been successful, and state
and municipal revenues have been completely wiped
out
In the latter there is evidence that it has proven
a amentable failure; the sale goes on sometimes
with defiant publicity, at others under the apparent
of municipal protection.
In Sunday sermons both Dr. Len c. Broughton
and DR.. John E. White among the most earnest
advocates of the cause, admitted that the law is
openly violated in the large cities of the state.
Beer is sold openly; whisky may be had by any
one who wants it bad enough to ascertain the sim
pie methods of acquiring it.
It cannot be doubted, in the light of assertions
and charges such as these, that violation of the
prohibition law is prolific source of lawlessness.
And in the violation there is far danger to
the state and the community than there is in the
mere act of dispensing liquors to one or to dozen
individuals
Associated Press dispatch, July 3O.-The first
nlversay OF the passage OF the prohibition law by
the Georgia legislature was celebrated today by the
W. c. II. u. and other temperance and prohibition
organizations throughout the state The law has
been in operation several months but public opinion
is still at variance as to its result on the moral
and business interests of the state.
The prohibition forces declare that the effect of the
law has been of most beneficial character, not
wthstanding the fact that it has been found inn
possible so far to enforce it to the letter. The
ani-prohibtionists the other hand assert that
prohibition has seriously injured the business in
terests of the state without giving any material bene
fits in return They declare that the measure has
resulted in increased corruption among public Of
fcias and that there is as much liquor consumed
in Georgia ever there under the old
order of things
The only point which it seems cannot be disputed
successfully that the amount of crime, particularly
in the larger cities, has been considerably lessened
since the prohibition law went into operation last
January. This argument in behalf of the law is
supported by the police and court records of At
1anta and other cities.

seven Thousand People Estimated to
be Homeless Loss Of Lie viii
be Heavy Much Livestock Lost
People Are Dumbfounded at Ex-
tent of Damage.

Dallas, Tex, May 26.-Seven thou
sand persons are practically without
shelter now as a result OF the violent
storm which broke over Northern
Texas and Oklahoma Sunday night
! oday alone fully 1000 people were
driven from their homes by the ris-
ing ot the Trinity river. Houses.
barns and everything in the path Of
the terrible flood is swept down and
carried away Trinity river is a rag
ing, surging torrent and nothing ap-
parently stands before it. Big fac
tories far removed from the river
proper are flooded, bridges have been
swept away like kindling wood. Live
stock by the thousands have persisted
and fear is now entertained that a
meat famine will follow in the wake
Of the storms fury
SO lar no arrangements OF a char
acter calculated 20 relieve the intense
suffering OF the inhabitants have been
attempted. 1t is really too soon to
give any real estimate OF the dead.
With the abatement OF the rising
waters steps will be taken at once 10
help those in dire distress. As usual
IN such cases, the poor of the various
cities and towns in the path of the
elements are suffering the worst
The present storm is by far the
most violent OF the present year, and
for that matter perhaps the worst
storm that has visited Northern Texas
in several years 1t was exceptionally
severe at Fort Worth. Dallas, Wichita
Falls. Denton and Abilene.
The property loss will run extreme
ly high, but so far not even a con
sentative estimate can be placed on
the whole At Fort Worth alone il
is figured out that the storm will
cause close onto 100000 damage
When suburban points are finally
heard from the loss will run much
higher in that vicinity.
Reports from Mineral Wells state
that Wade Owens and Ernest Statelei
were drowned there. Persons are also
reported drowned near Wichita Falls
and Childress At Denton an un
known man lost his life in attempting
to save some household effects
All over the storm-swept distric
railroads and crops have suffered
heavily. Railroad traffic is practi
callv at a standstill. as at most points
bridges have been torn from theii
foundations BY the surging flood wa
ter As quickly as possible the rail

ANARCHY IN PERSIA.
State Apparently Helpless to Cope
With Situation.


Berlin. May 26.-Advices received
here are to the effect that anarchy
prevails throughout Persia. As an ex-
ample of the Shah's helplessness to
cope with the situation a libel action
is cited which has been brought
against the Persian newspaper Mus
sowad, as an article stating that parts
of Persian territory are in the control
OF brigands and revolutionists. and
concluding with the following:
The governors are tyrannical, the
administration is corrupt and inetfl-
cient. the taxes are in arrears. the ex-
chequer is empty. the soldiers wage
are unpaid and the army is helpless
What is the Shah going to do IN these
melancholy circumstances? He de-
votes himself to orgies night after
night until daybreak."
The newspaper proceeds to give
proof of its allegations and conclude:
bv demanding the dethronement Of
the Shah and the establishment o.
republic.
The Shah brought a libel action
but withdrew it when the editor Of
fered to prove the charges in detail
Following this. the walls OF Teheraf
were covered with placards calling
upon the people to assassinate th'
monarch.

cit is probable that there is no place
in the United States where the prices
for pork products average as high as
in the Pacific Northwest. A condition
of significance, too, is that the people
of this region are not sufficiently alive
to the necessity Of their meeting the
demand for pork products. Those who
are in the business are making money.
Conditions are improving, however, for
at the present time we note a growing
tendency among farmers to pay more
attention to this business. The Perk

opinion, although the Duroc Jerseys are
making some hesdway. At the expert
