the fact that the Democratic Party, of the
South was allowed to have it's own way in
dealing with the negro question.
Our national leaders, Gen John B. Gordon,
Gen Wade Hampton and Gen. M C. Butler
traded away Tildens chance to be President
in exchange for the withdrawal Of the Federal
troops from the South and we have always
believed that the trade was patriotic wise and
statesmanly When President Hayes ordered
the U. S. troops away from the South white
supremacy was an accomplished fact and this
result was worth immensely more to us than
anything that we could have expected from
that cock-eyed railroad wrecker, Sam Ti1den
Beginning with the Disfranchisement law
Of Mississippi Senator George defend
ed in the !. S. Senate with such wonderful
ability and learning-the Southern States have
been laboring steadily to put the negro out Of
politics. The entire South is committed to the
principle of White Supremacy
Yet here comes Bryan's chief lieutenant pro-
posing to reverse Our policy, undo Our work,
and overthrow the whole fabric of arduous eff
fort by making the negro more of a factor in
politics THAN HE IS TODAY!
How can the Bryanites make the negro more
of factor in politics than he is today, without
endangering White Supremacy?
60 HOW CAN YOU INCREASE THE I'M
PORTANCE OF THE NEGRO, POLITIC-
ALLY, WITHOUT RUNNING INTO THE
DANGER OF NEGRO DOMINATION?
Does the South want to see the negro be-
come more powerful factor in politics? Does
the South want to see the negro become the
umpire Of differences among the whites?
Look to it, Southern leaders, Look to it,
Vardaman, Tillman, Broward, Swanson, Glenn,
Conner and Folk
What say you, Senator Culberson, Of Texas?
do you agree with Mr. Watterson that the
negro ought to become more of political fac
tor than he is today?
The blight of Organism has wrought vast
evil in this republic, BUT THE WORST IS
YET TO COME.
Remember that Bryan was born and reared
in Illinois. Remember his prejudice against
the cx-Confederate soldiers. Remember that
his convention Kissed the name of Robert E.
Lee.
Remember that he has never denied that he
sent his children to mixed school where social
equality was practised.
Remember that he has not denied that. in a
local election, he voted for a negro against a
white man.
Remember that the negro Bishops who could
not get satisfaction from Taft, about Browns
vile and the negro troops. WENT TO

Hearst S Startling DiscObeyy.

1t will be remembered that William R
Hearst was a Democratic member Of Con-
gress, just couple of years ago Likewise,
strenuous candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for President in 1904
Likewise, the regular Democratic nominee
for Governor of New York in 1906.
When Bryan was the presidential nominee
Mr.. Hearst supported him, both in 1906 and
In 1900. When Parker was the nominee, the
Hearst papers came out for Parker. Nominal
ly, at least, Hearst was Parker man through
out the campaign.
Considering all these things, we must as
sumo that Mr., Hearst was we'll acquainted with
his party, its platforms, and it's record. Yet it
appears that he has made some startling
discoveries. In his scornful letter to the San
Francisco Club which expelled him, he scores
the dear old Democratic party, all along the
line, from 1908 back to 1892
William R. rails at the Democratic party be-
cause it stood for one thing in 1902, and an
other in 1896; for thing in 1900, and an
other in 1904
But did not Mr.. Hearst know of this varia-
bic democracy in 1904, when he was candi-
date for it's highest honors? Did he not know
the record, when he became Democratic Con-
gresham? Has he learned anything new
about his party since he was its nominee for
Governor of New York, two years ago?
How can Mr. Hearst blame the Bryanites
for clinging to a party which he himself chung
to AS LONG AS HE HAD ANY HOPES
OF GETTING WHAT HE WANTED OUT
OF 1T?
Mr. Hearst did not swipe the Popu1ist plat
form and throw out his drag net for Populist
voters until the Democratic party refused to
give him what he demanded for himself. .
If he's honest in his sudden conversion to
Populism, why did he not join Our party and
take pot luck with lis, instead of trying to
scoop us with his copyrighted, personally
owned Independence League?

WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN.

The weather during the week ending
May 4th was cold and cloudy, with gen
orally light precipitation. After the 23rd
of April the temerature fell steadily un.
til the last day of that month, when it
was considerably below the freezing
point in nearly all portions of the State.
There were freezing temperatures every
night during the week in the northern
counties and every night from April 30th
to May 3rd, inclusive, in most of the
southern counties. The mean tempera-
ture for the week averaged from 8 de
grees to Is degrees below the normal
and the minimum temperature varied
from % degrees to 81 degrees in the
north and west-central portions and
from % degrees to 80 degrees in the
south and astcentral portions.
The precipitation averaged only about
one half the normal amount but as the
soil was well saturated with moisture
the amount was sufficient for present
needs. On May 1st there were snow
squalls throughout the northern and
central sections and hail at many places
in the northern portion of the State.

SUPT. GOEDGEN CHANGES PLANS.

A change in the plan of running the
farm which is part of the asylum prop
erty has been recommended to the
board of trustees by Supt. Henry
Goedgen and was adopted by the board
at recent session. Under the new
method the farm will be in charge of an
expert and Prof. Ernst Rosenthal from
the University of Wisconsin has been
secured to take charge Of it.
The change has been brought about
by the fact that the farm, which con
sisted of small tract Of land but few
years ago has been added to until it be.
came impossible for Mr.. Goedgen to give
it the time and attention which it de-
manded and also to attend to his other
duties. Prof. Rosenthal will take entire
charge of this part of the work and will
devote particular attention to the raising
Of cattle.
The expense incident to the change will
without doubt be allowed By the county
board a. its coming session.
