A REGULAR
School of ~Telegraphy
Organized and Opened
at the
Southwestern Louisiana
Industrial Institute,
Lafayette, La.
Lafayette, La.

We have succeeded in securing the
services Of Mr.1John I. Hulse. formerly
train dispatcher at Beaumont, Texas.
on the Sarte Fe Railroad. to conduct
the School of Telegraphy, devoting
his entire time to this work, which will
begin December l. 1907.
The eight hour law, which will go
into effect January |, will require three
telegraph operators for all positions
where only two are now sufficient.
Therefore the demand for operators
will be greatly increased. For several
years to come no telegraph operators
will ever be out of a job unless he
strikes.
Write to us about entering; also get
a catalog of the Institute, with full in
formation concerning all departments.

have decided that their great leaders, like
Caesars wife, must be above suspicion; but
the Gripping of a giant like Bailey is singu-
larly pathetic, and doubly so in his case be-
cause many in the South had trusted that
it would be he that should bring our section
into participation once again in the fullest
measure of national life 1t is true that Bailey
won his recent fight to head the Texas Demo-
cratic delegation to Denver, but his majority
was not so large as his friends hoped for !;
and while he may recover his prestige as a
State leader, the South IS hope of him as her
long-sought deliverer from sectional bondage
has probably vanished forever.-Progressive

WHEN GOVERNMENT REACHES BEYOND
IT'S NATURAL FUNCTIONS.

More significant than victorious battles and
campaigns is the suggestion that Japan will
pay per cent interest on it's desperately
needed loan of 3oe,OOO,eOO yen The monu-
mental point is that if the fnanciers of the
White Powers should decline to lend the
money to Japan it's celebrated modern struct-
ure of Government corporations
will go to absolute wreck.
There is no other explanation for the ex-
traordinary rates Of interest offered Japan s
appeal, in the form Of enormous interest
rates in time Of peace-indeed, larger than
the interest on the war loans-tells the story
Of the attempt Of government to create
industry and enterprise, willy nilly.
Possibly when the history Of modern Japan
is written it will be one Of the worlds great
lessons Of the futility Of governmental power
when it attempts to reach beyond its natural
duties and functions.-New York American.

THE TRAGEDY OF SENATOR BAILEY OF
TEXAS
TEXAS.

The nomination Of Thos E. Watson, the
brilliant Georgian by the Populists, betokens
the coming day when we shall see Southern
men named by the two old parties,- too, as
candidates for the greatest elective office in
the world. In fact, not unlikely we should
see Southern candidate this year-Senator
Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas-but for the
painful revelation of his unsavory record as
attorney for the Standard Oil Company:
acting while United States Senator as the
paid attorney of this great monopoly. In
intellect Bailey is unquestionably of presi-
Dental size: quite possibly he outranks Bryan
or Taft and, adding to this great oratorical
gifts and singularly magnetic presence, he
could not unlikely have beaten Bryan for the
Democratic nomination this year had he only
kept himself straight beyond question or
scruple. It is we'll that the American people

FILIPINO NEEDS IGNORED.

The Philippine commission came to Wash
ington asking for bread in tariff reform,
but the ways and means committee Of the
House offer them a stone. Commissioner
Lagarda brought the request of the islanders
for the free entry of their products into the
United States, claiming the same right which
has been given to Porto Rico and which has
by twelve times increased the trade of that
island with the United States. In response
to the request the ways and means committee
have recommended a bill providing for free
importation into the Philippines Of agricul-
tural machinery and apparatus for road build
ing. This means little or nothing to the
Filipinos. The benefits Of agricultural machin-
cry and of good roads will not be realized
unless market is opened for the products Of
the soil-Boston Herald

A PERNICIOUs PRECEDENT.

Mr.. Roosevelt's activity as the real manager
Of the Taft campaign has established prece-
dent of wholly the wrong sort. People believe
in Theodore Roosevelt, and so they are view
ing With little seriousness a matter of great
moment in the long history Of this country.
Absolutism which disregards the proprieties
Of presidential conduct is at odds with
democracy, and an enemy Of it. Federal Off
GERS throughout the length and breadth of the
land have been swung to the side Of the presi-
Dental favorite. It was for this purpose
that Mr.. Hitchcock left the postoffice depart
ment, after the scandal Of his political activity
there made his resignation necessary. All his
political work was approved by the President.
Not only is this against precedent and the
proprieties that ought to hedge about the
presidency, but there is also great unfairness
in it toward all others save the one chosen as
the heir apparent. Not only this, but the
threat has been directly and effectively made
that if the great financial interests of this
country refused their support to Mr.. Taft,
they would be met with the candidacy of
Roosevelt This threat has availed to bring
many Of the men whom the President has
called "malefactors into line with his plans.
He plays the game to win as Hartman can
testify His enemies are made to serve him
now. Employment of these means to con-
troll the presidential Office is both unfit and
dangerous to the future of the republic. What
Democrats have always had to fear has been
concentration Of power and privilege. There
never was before such an exhibition of the
employment of the power of the presidential
office tO dictate nuhlic affairs aS iS now in
evidence.-The Springfield Republican.

THE DROPPED STITCH.

The New York Sun devotes a labored edi-
torial Of column length to its regrets at hav-

latter's statement in recent public address,
expressing belief that the day of the regula-
ton OF railroads by the government has come,
and that on the part Of those controlling the
railroads it would be wisdom to acquisce there
in
The Sun seems to think that under govern
ment voice IN the roads, development would
cease, and cites the greater progress Of
American roads and their greater develop
ment over those of Europe, under government
ownership, and ''lacking the stimulus of pri-
vate self-interest. The Sun overlooks the
most important fact that the government Of
or control the roads until we, too, have gotten
to that position where competition has about
stopped, by consolidation and combination.
Private owners, under a scientific government
or advanced civilization, cannot be freed from
government regulation unless conditions of
control are imposed on them by private COM
petition. Private interest can no more safe
ly be entrusted with monopoly in the necessi-
ties of life than it is safe to rely on the gov
eminent for regulation; in fact, if we look on
government activity in the necessities, in
these latter times, as an evil, it is certainly
less evil than unrestrained private greed. The
unrestrained control Of monopolies is the pow
er Of taxation and should not be in private
hands.-Memphis News-Scimitar
