THE CANCELLATION OF THE
SOUTH.

From Washington come reports to
the effect that it is the purpose of the
Taft administration to pursue a concil-
iatory policy toward the South and in
this way build up respectable and
strong Republican party in the Southern
States. To make this policy yield re-
suits we are told that all threats to re-
duce Southern representation in Con-
gress are to be sternly rebuked, and the
number of negroes placed in important
Federal Offices is to be greatly reduced
and the places given to white Republic
cans of good business and social stand
ing, says the New Orleans States.
But this is not all. 1t is said that in
the new tariff bill care will be taken to
give Southern industries larger share
of tariff protection with the view of
bribing, with the loot, the industrial ele-
ment into permanently supporting the
Republican party. But the industries of
the South already enjoy ample protec-
ton and while the duties may be in
creased to give them larger benefits they
would not operate to the benefit of the
great body of consumers who are Bit
terly complaining of the high cost of
living
The policy of conciliating the South,
it seems, contemplates the welfare only
of 'the business interests" which repre-
sent merely a small fraction of the body
polite. We are not told that anything
is to be done for the 100000 Southern
farmers who raise cotton and other
products. but on the contrary they are
to continue to bear the burden of pro-
lection, to contribute out of their pock-
cts to the prosperity of others without
receiving any benefits themselves. They
must go on selling their products in the
markets of the world and be compelled
to spend their money in the tariff-barred
and trust-controlled markets of the
United States.
Therefore, it is evident that so far as
the producers and consumers of the
South are concerned the Taft policy Of
Cancellation suggests Dead Sea fruit
that it is nothing more than the old Re
publican policy of bene6tting the few al
the expense of the many, and the meas
ure of good the people of the South will
! derive from it will be small indeed.
1t is interesting to note the report
however, that Mr.. Taft contemplates thu
improvement of the public service in the
! South by changing the method of dis
pensing the Federal patronage, and tt
that end will abolish the ahominatior
known as the referee system which ha:
placed in the hands of some cheap poll
tician in a State the power to name thu
men who are to serve the people in re
sponsible offices. If Mr.. Taft carries GU
this reform he will be entitled to thu
thanks of the people, for it will mean ;
great improvement in the public service
| in the South, and better class of mel
in the Federal Offices.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Interesting News Items Gathered by a
Caucasian Representative.

Kate Barnard is to Oklahoma what
Jane Adams is to Chicago, and Sophie
Wright to New Orleans, is first citizen.
She was born in Nebraska twenty
seven years ago of Southern parentage.
But the mother died at the daughter S
birth and the little girls life was one of
hardship and poverty. At first cared for
by her relatives, she was later put on
the 100 acres of Oklahoma land which
her father had claimed, to hold the
homestead, while he made living in the
nearby city. Later she was sent to a
convent, then taught in the public
schools, and finally went to Oklahoma
City to keep house for her father. The
ambition she had for wider service was
encouraged by friend, who advised her
to find some employment for the hun
dreds of stranded people, who had found
their way to the newly opened lands,
and newly built cities of Oklahoma.
She took this advise and wrote one
vivid statement for the newspapers that
brought to her door in one day ten
thousand garments and stacks Of furni-
ture. She found 400 children, many of
them living in tents and all of them des-
titute, and she clothed them and bought
books for them and sent them to school.
Her success stirred the city, and it re-
cognized her capacity at once The
Provident Association o. business men
and Ministerial Alliance came together,
elected Kate Barnard matron and pro-
vided an income of 5000 month for her
disbursement. She went at the business
scientifically The unemployed, the men
without a trade were organized into a
Federal Union. She was given seat in
the Trades Council of the city and made
delegate to the State Federation of La
bor She was sent as delegates to a
convention where were gathered the rep
resentatives of the Farmers Union, the
State Federation of Labor and the Rail-
road Orders She made her first public
speech at this convention, plea for the
insertion of compulsory education and
an anti-child labor section in the new
Constitution.
Jesse Dunn, chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee, asked her to give her
ideas in framing the Democratic plat
form, and she wrote six of the planks
on which the party was to appeal to the
people in the critical period of Consti-
tuition making Much more she has done
and is doing.
Kate Barnard is 1.-THE, graceful, petite,
with dark hair and skin and flashing
eyes, and a rapid articulation that was
the despair of the reporters. She talks
of the wrongs of childhood, of the suf-
ferings of miners without the protection
of law, and of the iniquity of sending
juvenile criminals to the jails and stock

City Engineer Ward today sent
out between thirty and forty notices
to business men, notifying them to
remove signs which do not conform
to the new ordinance passed some
two or three weeks ago. Most of the
old signs did not conform to the or
dinance and these will have to be re-
moved at once.
The new ordinance makes it unlaw-
full to erect any sign or banner with
out permission of the city engineer
There is a provision, however, that a
sign may be erected without permits
sion of the city engineer, providing
it is not over twelve inches in width
and does not extend from any build
ing more than thirty inches and must
not be less than twelve feet above
the sidewalk. 1t must be fastened to
the building by iron frames, rods OF
guy wires.

Representatives of Johnson and JEFF

100000 and &c % per cent of the
moving picture receipts. The fight
will be in San Francisco. probably
July 4, 1910. =.
The successful bid provides that
the fight may take place in Califor-
mia. Utah or Nevada, but without a
doubt San Francisco will be the bat
tie ground. Jimmy Coffroth, who
owns the Sunshine club at Colma

ing picture machines and it is likely
that some arrangements will be made
by which the fight will take place in
the Colma arena, which is just out
side of San Francisco.

tiles OF THE PACIFIC NORTH
WEST.

C. A. Mcdonald of Waterville is
in receipt of letter from his old
home in Ulysses, Neb., written by
John Burkey of that place, and.
among other things, the letter says:
Il note what you say about the two
acres of apples for $4,000. / gave
your statement in the bank when
five or six of your acquaintance
were present and you should have
heard the remarks: How that west
ern country changes people" Il al
ways thought Mac was straight Il
wonder if there are any little fish In
the Wenatchee"
The above is a sample of many
letters received from people living IN
the east and middle west.
Mr. Burkey, like many other peO-
pie who have not visited the orchards
of the west, but little realize the de-
velopment that is going on in this
section of the state The Daily
world can make many other similar
statements, backed by affidavits, for
the fellows who are from "Mizrou-
Ri
For instance William Turner for
the past three years has been netting
close to 81 900 per acre from his 49,
acre orchard.
Gustav Brandt of Cashmere this
year picked $1,000 worth of apples
from 16 trees.
l.. w. Smith from four acres haa
a net revenue of $3O2S.
The writer, who happens to be
acquainted with John Burkey, Wis
tied dozens of orchards this season
where single acres netted $4,000 al
ter paying the cost of picking, pack
ing, boxing and marketing.
1t is not proof of such statements
as these that are bringing thousands
to the rich vallies of the Pacific
northwest. Wenatchee. as an eX-
ample, had 451 population at the
last census In 1905 she had a pop
ulation of $500 and a special GEN.
