 There isf a vast difference between . good negro and a bad negro. and all negroes are not criminals. The good negro will always find the white man his friend. but the negro who actually commits crime and is a menace to the people of both races should be given but little consideration when he is to be punished for his wrong doing. To defend or condone the acts of crimip . als, white or black, is something that no citizen who makes any pretentions towards being law-abiding cam afford ta do

PROTECTIVE AND REVENUE TAR-

The Soux City Journal says: "A par tisan majority in Congress must be fe- sponsible for the tarir system. If it Is Republican majority it will want a protective tariff with incidental rev. enue. A Democratic majority will want revenue tariff with incidental pro- lection"
 To this The Louisville Courier-Jour- nal replies: "As a general proposition this. no doubt. is prety near the truth. But how about President Taft. the Re- publican President who In his inaugu- ral said that fin the making of a tar if bill the prime mosive is taxation. and the securing thereby of revenue?' Did he. in speaking thus. forget to speak for the Protective Tarin League. or for the Republican Party, or merely speak as President of the entire peo- ple?

Our guess is that the Ohio river will soon be swarming with ouse-boats, since competent codrt has deoided that liquor may be legally sold on the river. If that decision stands, and the territory on each side of the river is under prohibition. is it not a safo conclusion that the river itself will soon swarm with saloons?
