Shy
of T~riumvirates ,
on Principle
Little Giant" Pleads Not Guilty to
Being in Three Cornered
Toga Deal.

w II. Thompson of Grand Island. the
Little Slant of Nebraska democracy. Is
in Omaha on business before the federal
courts. 81 must plead absolute innocence
of any intentional connection with
the alleged Nebraska democratic
triumvirate as promulgated by some
Of the eastern papers said Mr..
Thompson. "I'had not thought recently Of
becoming United States senator. have
just returned from the east and have not
been In active touch with political affairs.
Then, again, | am a little inclined to
fight shy of triumvirates. You will re-
member a good many years ago John sher-
man, Charley Foster and James a. Gar
field Of Ohio went into the triumvirate
business and it did not pan out just as
had been planned, The cards got mixed, so
to speak. Sherman lost the presidency,
Foster the senatorship and Garfield the
governorship. In the wind-up Garfield be-
came president, Sherman senator and Fos-
ter governor. Hence / do not know Just
where I would land in a Shallenberger-
Bryan-Thompson triumvir, and the prob
lem is too deep to think about and is too
far away to worry about It now"

COTTON BLIGHT DAMAGE.
Col. Watson Stands by Prof. Barre's
AntrhacnOse Report.

Columbia, Oct. 25.-Discussing the
article sent over the "A. p" wires that
the reports of the loss by the disease
anthracnose are exaggerated, Com
missioner Watson stated today that
he believed the expert at Washington
whose opinion was given, was mistak-
en- In his facts. The commissioner
stated that Mr.. H. w. Barre who
made the report to his office on the
loss to the crops annually has made
a two years study of the subject and
should be In touch with the situation.
II believe" said Col. Watson, "that If
they send man down here to make a
study of the havoc that is being play
ed by the\ disease they will find that
Mr.. Barre's statements will be sub
stantiated."
The interest In the matter to the
department of agriculture In this State
Is the fact that Mr.. Barre has traced
the fungus to the seed. and the effort
Will be made by the department to
keep out of the State all infected seed
and to keep down as far as possible
the sale In this State Of seed so dis
eased. This Is In line with the move
ment to have the legislature pass laws
to prevent the bringing into South
Carolina Of diseased plants, seeds OF
any form Of manufactured stuff that
is not In good condition.
The statement from Washington
published today indicates that the loss
has been exaggerated, but the report
of Mr.. Barre that goes very fully into
the matter. is to the effect that the
loss In South Carolina to the cotton
crop from anthracnose. is from $4,-
100000 to s5.O0o.Oo0 annually.

Nonenforcing Prohibition.

VsCsssO@CAsA8 AAOAuuAuOhss
(From the Richmond. Va. Times-Dis-
patch.)
Curious studies in the workings Of
prohibition are cropping up in the So
called dry" States of the South.
Chattanooga, In dry Tennessee, Is
distilling and selling liquor under the
authority Of the law. only 1t does not
make any sales to ,rennesseeans. The
Tennessee law does not forbid the
manufacture Of liquors. but only their
sale within four miles of a school
house. and to interfere with Chatta-
nooga's export business would be to
collide with the Interstate Commerce
law. Georgia. Tennessee's neighbor.
can neither make nor sell liquor, but
can buy II. Tennessee can make and
sell 1t to outsiders; so We have Ten
nessee shipping Georgia all the drink
the latter State cares to order. This
condition must be pusziing and unset
thing to plain Georgians who know,
roughly. that buying liquor is against
the law. yet see 1t bought in quantities
all around them. Nor can 1t be at
all a good thing for the law. "The
only question" says the Atlanta Con-
stitution, 'is to what extent, If at all,
the aggregate consumption has been
affected"
In Atlanta. an antiprohibition city.
the dry" law Is interpreted liberal
y." Savannah's open fiouting of the
law became a State scandal last
spring. There was no pretense of
obeying 1t, and the city's defiance was
at one time so notorious that 1t drew
from the Governor a threat to use the
militia. Memphis. according to oc-
casional reports. is consuming very
considerable quantities of liquor. The
same thing Is true. in greater or less
degree, In all the larger cities Of Ten
nessee and Georgia. An inevitable
but interesting development is seen
In the fact that municipal elections
are taking on the complexion of Sec
ondary "wet-or-dry" contests. That
Is to say, the real questions underly-
ing them comes to be simply enforce
ment or nonenforcement of the law.
In Nashville some days ago such an
election was held and the nonenforc-
ers won. In Macon, more recently
still. such an election was held and
again the nonenforcers won. There
are being evolved, in fact, nine and
sixty ways of interpreting" what pro-
hibition means. Looking about over
the situation In Georgia and Tennes-
see. the Atlanta Constitution in the
article quoted above is moved to ask:
rs 1t coming to a sort of piebald
and extra-legal local option, each
community constituting the mandate of
the State to accord with its own senti-
ment and every Judge and jury, set
ting up separate and differing inter-
pretations or noninterpretations OF
the law?"
"Piebald local option" Is new
phrase to describe a very old propo-
sition. The proposition is the exceed
ingly familiar one that no law can be
enforced over the community senti-
ment of a majority of the people af-
fected by It, In the case of prohibit
tion the result OF trying 1t is usually
a small diminution In the consump-
tion OF liquor, the benefits from which
are more than offset by the demoral-
izing and anarchistic conditions under
which it Is pllryeyed
