THE PEOPLE LOSE.

The railroads bave won great vic
tory over the people in an increase in
rates. The Corporation Commission
having been brought face to face with
the lachrymal eyes and begrimed Wis
ages of railroad presidents, lesser Off
Gals and attorneys, for year or more,
were naoved to pity. They cut the case
half in two, just as Solomon is said to
have professed to be about to do when
two women claimed the same baby.
But why mention Solomon or any
other wise man in this connection? So
the judges in this case forgot what the
people have suffered at q cent rate,
for all these years. They overlooked
toe, it m ust seem, that about the time
the cent rate bill passed the slump
came in the, business world, and that \
fair test has not been made. They
seem to have entirely forgotten or over
looked that the railroads wilfully, de.
liberately and maliciously, treated the
travelling public so that it would never
travel save as necessity drove it, be-
ginning at the. date of adoption OF the
cent rate and continuing up to the
present moment We further believe
that there WAS never a fair showing
made on passenger earnings. We do
not believe they took into sonsidera-
ton the cash fares on trains, and we
know one thing certain and sure, they
kept the books. But what is the use
kicking. The railroads know their
business, they have had the cut, shuttle
and deal in this game. They were
playing for big stake. They have
juggled the cards as sure as fate, they
won hands down, and they are laugh
ing in their inner souls as to how they
did it. ''T'was cinch" we know they
are saying. 1t is so much easier to
convince two men than two million.
They may have shown the business to
two men, they have not shown it to
two million, and never will. They
have, however, gained victory over
the people, and when the railroads, or
the Standard Oil, or the Sugar trust,
or any of the mighty powers in finance
are on one side and the people are on
the other, the odds are 100 to in favor
of the Well, which would
you guess? The Lady or the Tiger :?
Did the lady eat the tiger, or the tiger
eat the lady? 1t had been whispered
for long time there would be a COM
promise at p cents, SO nobody is sur
prised no matter how much they may
be ehagrinned over the loss TO the pub
lie, nor how unjust may be the decis-
ion. 1t is recalled that the roads asked
a long indulgence to put the 2 cent rate
in, after wilfully defying it and charg-
ing cents for nearly year, are now
going to put the-new rate in on April
LIST, How quick they can do thing
way. How long it took the other.

Alfred Henry Lewis in the New
York American says:
"Mr. Taft is meditating the origina
in connection with the South. MI
Dickinson, his War Secretary, from
Tennessee, is a Democrat who neve,
voted for Mr. Bryan, and appears il
the balcony of his destinies at studied
intervals to reillumine the world there
on. That reillumination is by sugges
ton of Mr.. Taft. He wants all men
especially all Southern men, both t.
understand and appreciate the Demo
cracy heretofore of Mr.. Dickinson.
''For this reason, IN the flood OF az
pointments whichever as did tht
dam at Johnstown-is to present.,
break forth, sweeping to the amazemep
Of mankind before it, nine-tenths
those which go to the South, postmas
tiers, judges, marshals, district attor
news, and collectors, will go to dyed-in
the-wool Democrats.
When the above takes place, Their
will be more ''damns" than one brea
loose.

these men, Watson and his cohorts say,
"No doubt you have taken into con-
sideration the fact that the new tariff
bill will contain no protection for
Louisiana rice, or Florida pineapples,
or Alabama iron, or Virginia tobacco,
if you join the insurgents and oppose
either the reelection of Mr.. Cannon or
the readoption Of the House rules. I'm
der circumstances it Is hardly surpris-
ing that the Democrats are distraught
and find it hard to decide between their
duty to their party and the people and
their own seIf-preservation.
The officers of President Taft's cab
| met will be given every encouragement
| by the President to travel and thor
oughly familiarize themselves with ev-
cry detail of the work over which they
have control. Secretary Ballinger of
the Interior Department, intends to so
| to Alaska this summer and tour the
I territory with especial reference to the
| coal lands, which it is claimed are valu-
able, and to investigate the possibili-
ties Of reclamation. The President,
also, wishes Secretary Dickinson of the
War Department to 60 to the Isthmus
at the earliest opportunity so that he
may familiarize himself with the de-
tails of the work there and beeome
thoroughly posted in direct way on
the affairs of this gigantic undertaking.
Secretary Wilson of the Department
Of Agriculture is in receipt Of nearly
hundred letters from millers and kind
red interests asking him to refer the
question of bleached -four, which the
department has branded az adulterat-
ed, to the referee board OF the depart
ment which recently permitted the uss
ofbenzoate Of soda previously condemn
ed by DIR. Wiley, and elamersd for by
! many of the food packers. To all of
these letters the Secretary has replied
| that the matter would not be 80 refer
red. Great pressure is being brought
to bear, however, and some weeks ago
the manufacturers Of the hour-bleach-
ing apparatus brought suit in the Dis
trict Court for a mandamus to prevent
| the Secretary from continuing a dis
tribution of the pure food decision in
which bIeached flour is classed as adul-
terated food. The case has not yet
come to trial and in the meantime
! blsaehed flour remains under the ban.
Though Congress has declined TO in
cluds, in the appropriations for the
, War Department, the $5OO,OCO asked
for aerial experiments and the purchase
of aeroplanes and dirigible balloons,
nevertheless the inventors of alrshipS
in this country are to receive every
encouragement by the department.
In the general appropriation bill for
the army there is an amount available
for the general purposes of ordnance
and Notifications and of this sum the
department has set aside S46, 900 to pay
for the Wright and Herring airships,
provided they come up to specifications
at the trials, and for both of which they
have contract with the inventors.
The time for the official trials of these
machines is now fixed for not later than
the last day of June.

PARTY PERFIDY.

The action of % Democrats in break
ing away from the party organization
on the adoption of the rules in Con-
gress last Monday from party stand
point, was absolutely inexcusable, if
not perfidious. They could have hum
bled the organization in Congress and
made them eat out of their hands.
They could have made that edious ty-
rant Cannon take off his crown and
robes and lay his scepter at their feet,
they covld have broken the back of
that ring IN Congress which has domi-
mated affairs to the disgust of the couR-
try and decency, and made it a deform-
ity and weakling. What did they
do2 They did as part Of the Demo-
cratic party has been in the habit OF
doing, they deserted ANONYMOUSLY to
the enemy.
They are at best, that is portion of
the Democratic party, lot of camp
followers, toadies, deserters, and we
may add, towards. The idea Of par
ty asking the support of lhe people, and
pretending to have and to advocate GER
tain principles and then scattering like
lot of militia at the sound of the every
gun, stampeding on all occasions and
trailing into the camp of the enemy at
every opportunity, is enough to dis
OF 6noorf I0ua1 ron,Ilar nan,n-
crat, who possesses self respect. When
. party has Cleveland Democrats, and
Taft Democrats, and high tariff Dem
ocrats, and low tariff Democrats, gold
Democrats, and silver Democrats, adj
vocates of ship subsidy, and opposed
to it, trust followers, and antitrust
followers, men on all sides of all ques-
items, it is time to go out of business,
and haul down the flag. Never was
our disgust for the name of modern
Democracy so great, never were we SO
nauseated by humiliating surrender,
rs when we read of the action Of the
Fitzgerald crowd on Monday last. If
we were in Mr.. Champ Clark's shoes
we would resign the leadership of such
a mob. The only opportunity that has
ever presented itself to win victory
has been turned into the most igno-
minious and humiliating defeat, by
treachery of our own party, led by a
man whose associates and followers
bolted the party in the last national
election. Disgust-why there is no
word in the English language BETTING
the occasion. Disgust is not half big
enough to meet the demands. These
apostates are now receiving the price
of their apostacy. They were bribed
and the brides are being paid to them
by the promissor. They are getting
places on important committees, and
are brazen enough to accept them. els
thy servant dog that he should dc
such thing?"

1t is hardly worth while to groan
over conditions or want to change
them, when we see how. hopeless and
helpless conditions are.
When we see farmer voting for a
high tariff;
A bank depositor voting to prevent
the bank giving guarantee for his
money;
And the people shouting for an adj
ministration which is to put tax of
four cents ON coffee; we give up the
fight and admit that there is no saliva
ton for such ignorance and party
bigotry.

When our war fleet was sailing along
the southern coast of Germany and
stopped at port, German is report
ed as having asked some of our officers
"Are these the only kind of vessels
you have in America? | have lived

flag before. Don't your country have
trade relations with some other ceun-

When Mr.. Taft abandons the old
line Republicans and the negro for the
new issue sometimes called the "Ren-
egade," at other times the 'Taft Dem
ocrat" in the south, he will be trading
a tried friend for truculent, faithless
follower. We have no objections to
any course he may persue, further than
that deep rooted objection which al
most universally wells up in the hui
man breast,of disgust, at seeing cupid
g, honored.

Some one is trying to prove that the
presidency devolved on Robert Bacon
for few moments, being the period
between the end of Mr.. Ro0sevelt's
term, and the storm delayed beginning
of Mr.. Taft's. 1t is reasonable to say
that none of the salary has devolved on
Mr.. Bacon, at least none that Mr.. Ba-
con could notice.

The country Is rejoicing Ia having
two Cannons. One is the Cannon in
Washington, which bags its game
whenever it goes off. The other is the
one in Virginia, which is said to have
bagged some mighty big game too in
some recent fusillades. We have al
ways heard how dangerous it is to get
too often, near the lannon's mouth.

ought to damn any administration or

Coffee is now 25 cents per pound.
The additional tax to be put on it will
raise it about ten cents more per pound
to the consumer. These are some of the
things which ought to make every
body vote the Republican ticket.

WHAT MAKES COURTS CON-
TEMPTABLE.

That 20 million dollar fine against the
Standard Oil Company has vanished
as tale that is told, and with it has
vanished the Elkins-Sherman act. 1t
was plain from the beginning that the
Standard Oil Co. would never be held.
1t is above the law, it is great contri-
butor to the campaign fund of the Re
publican party, it was and is as inn
mune from prosecution as Paul Nor
ton. We always contended that the
federal courts would not only open the
door which was supposed to have been
closed on the Standard Oil, but would
take it by the hand and say, "friend
come up higher" What a traversity
on law and justice this has all boon.
Poor old man Sam Gompers can be
put in Jail for printing in newspaper
ave do not patronize," and the Stand
ard Oil Company cannot be held for a
violation of law, when by violating
it that criminal corporation, and it is
an arch criminal, if there be criminal
corporation, cannot be held for pocket
ing hundreds of thousands of illegal
dollars. The court has declared that
the Standard Oil Co. must be proven
to have known that the rate it was
using was illegal. The regular rate to
Others was IS cents, the rate it got was
6 cents. Contempt of courts, contempt
for law, contempt of judges as men, can
hardly be surprising when things are
SO unevenly balanced. When the
Standard Oil Company goes scott free
in the face of bold and outrageous vio-
lation of law, and the Sugar Trust is
fined S120, 900 for stealing millions ia
false weights, something ought to be
done, some how, by somebody, to cor
rect such wrongs, before the contempt
for courts becomes general.

Editor Gonzales of South Carolina,
Editor Brann of Texas, and Editor
Carmack of Tennessee, all met untime-
ly deaths resulting from their vitrolic
editorials and the bandying of names
over which they had no ownership or
control, through their pages. OF
course, in the cases Of Gonzales and
Carmack there has been much right
eous indignation INDUCED in by a GER
tain would be virtuous set. But it is
well understood in the South that in
doing what these editors did, meant
cessation or death. The ohense was
even greater than walking up to a man
day in and day out, and belaboring him
face to face, because of the crowd which
hears the denunciation-or rather
reads it. Nobody knew better than
Gonzales, Brann and Carmack, the
the consequences of such conduct, and
for this reason fewer tears are shed
than would otherwise be.
