rAEr pIsPLAcEs NEGRO.

That the South is a white mans
country in the new Taft southern
policy, was demonstrated recently
when T. R. Durham was appointed
postmaster at Darien, Ga. Negroes
far outnumber whites in that town,
and Negro postmasters have been the
rule for years. The appointment is
all the more significant as it is in the
Jurisdiction of the postmaster general.
Mr.. Hitchcock, formerly Republican
national chairman, who is opposed to
white rule in the South when it in
terferes with the keeping up of the
machine" The appointment was
ordered by Mr.. Taft personally.
At this rate. President Taft seems
to be helping out his Negro. follow

The Judicial election Monday, held
many surprises in store for the poll
ticians OF both parties, many Of whom
thought that the candidates OF either
the Democratic or the Republican
party would make a clean sweep. but
thanks to the non-Rarty voters such
was not the case and the Republi-
cans elected eight Circuit Court
Judges and the Democrats six, name

ford, to the great regret of their many
friends dropped on the outside of the
breastworks in their race for re-elec-
ton to the Circuit Court bench, and
we feel that the voters did not act
wisely in shelving Judge Brown, for
he is a high class gentlemen, an able
lawyer and he has made an ideal
Judge and all in all. the voters should
have put him over and permitted him
to continue to serve them as one OF
their honorable judges.
John P. McGoorty and Charles ALI
ing Jr., were among the other de-
feated candidates. who have always
stood by the people and at all times
have worked for their best interest
and the voters regardless Of their poll
tics, proved themselves to be I'M

nix, for illustration, is almost iden-
tically situated with Spokane with
reference to the coast. In addition to
the Spokane case" the commission
has before it the complaint of Phoe-
nix shippers and the complaints of
the shippers of Salt Lake City and
of Reno. 1t cannot well order re-
duction Of rates to Spokane without
entering similar orders, in due course,
to apply to Phoenix and the other
interior cities. The Spokane rates are
too high, and the Phoenix rates are
too high.
1t is a favorable indication of the
ultimate decision of the commission
that Judge Prouty has given in the
words quoted If the clamors of the
coast jobbers are to be disregarded,
and the case decided on the issue
as stated by Judge Prouty, the in
terror cities seem practically certain
to win.

IT REACHES CACTUS CENTRE.

Down here in Cactus Centre we was
gittin' somewhat peeved
AS to just which pole explorer was
to have his yarn believed;
We had took sides in the matter, and
the poker game was shook.
While some rooted hard for Peary
and the others yelled for Cook.
Pocos johnson said, some sneerin',
that the common daily feed
OF the most of Cooks supporters was
a mess Of loco weed.
Whereupon Bear Hawkins answered
that it bothered him a heap
When he found that Peary's boosters
was jest fit for herdin' sheep.
1t was then. or shortly after, that
the barkeep ducked his head.
Cause the atmosphere was vibrant
with the song of flynn lead;
There was sounds Of busted glasses.
and the door was clean I'M
hinged
When we drifted to the sidewalk.
somewhat punctured, bruised
and singed.
Now we're strivin'. here in Cactus,
fer to keep abreast Of things.
But we've drawed one line quite firm
~ sence we counted up our
stings;
And if any north pole hunter comes
to lecture, at high cost,
Well inform him, ere he opens. that
he's bound to git a frost.

For some years Arkansas has had such
a reputation for the enactment of
foolish. oppressive laws against all
forms of capital that the ordinary
investor would not think of venturing
into that state. There are signs of
returning sanity in Arkansas, how
ever. At a recent meeting of the
Little Rock board of trade a resolu-
ton was adopted protesting against
further batting of corporations" and
urging the amending or repeal of all
laws inimical to the business interests
of Arkansas" The board of trade
also advised careful investigation of
all restrictions, to the end that the
public will enjoy full protection" and
at the same time the development
of transportation facilities will be en-
couraged."

Major General Frederick

Major General Frederick Dent
Grant, having marched in uniform at
the head of a temperance parade In
Chicago, complaint was made to the
war department that he had made
an improper use of his uniform.
Thereupon the general was mildly
called to step on the carpet" by the
department. The generals answer
seems to have been two-fold. He
said. in effect, 1T was not a temper
ance parade, and it is my duty at
all time to stand for good govern
ment; and if it was a temperance
parade, what are you going to do
about it?" And it may be guessed
that the department will do nothing
about 1t. General Fred is generally
reputed to have his share of his
fathers sand"

THE EAST AND IRRIGATION

THE EAST AND IRRIGATION
With scarcely an exception the
newspapers of the east condemn
President Taft's proposal to issue
s1OOO0,OOO for the purpose of COM
pleting irrigation works which other
wise would have to wait indefinitely
for money from the reclamation fund.
Running through all the comments
there is an indication of hostility
to the reclamation policy, and a dis
tinct lack of national feeling. This
is no surprise of course, for the rec
lamation policy was never popular
east of the Mississippi. Congressman,
in the early stages of the reclamation
campaign, bluntly stated their oppo-
sition to be on the ground that they
did not propose to bring a vast
and rich farming region into COM
petition with the farms of their own
districts. AS everybody knows, the
law never would have been enacted
in its present form except for the
forceful personality of Theodore
Roosevelt, who practically compelled
congress to accept it. 1t is not
strange, therefore, to find the old
hostility cropping up Immediately
upon President Taft's announcement
that he approves the policy of his
predecessor and proposes to aid in
every legitimate way the develop
ment of the west.
The question raised by the eastern
press is sectional, and in no sense
political. Republican and Democratic
papers are standing together in OPP
posing the Taft proposition. One
can almost note on the papers in
question a dampness resulting from
crocodile tears shed in behalf of the
taxpayer" The changes are rung
upon the burden" which will be plac-
ed upon the shoulders of the poor tax
payers of the United States by the
proposed bond issue of 10 million dol
lars. But when the government ap-
propriates so million dollars for
rivers and harbors" in the eastern
and middle states there is never 4
Iear for the burdened taxpayer. And
when Senator Hale gets an extra mil
lion every year or so for the famous
navy yards at Kittery and Ports
mouth-yards and docks which are
practically useless, because our
heavy battleships cannot reach them
the country is called upon to rise
in its patriotism and give three
cheers for the old flag and an APP
preparation"
Tens of millions can be appropriat-
ed outright for the benefit of other
sections and everybody approves. But
when Mr.. Taft proposes that the
government shall borrow ten millions
and lend it to the ranchers of the
west. the whole sum to be returned
to Uncle Sans treasury within ten
years. a howl goes up from Dan to
Beersheba that the poor taxpayer is
to be ruined before shutdown of next
Christmas.

The debt of New York City is so

a year in interest The operating ex-
enormous that taxes are higher than
ever before, and in addition to these
current expenses the interest charge
amounts to ten dollars a year for

constructed during 1910, is the Portland, Gray
and Lewiston line and one from Camden to
Belfast" Of the general situation he said:
"Maine is today enjoying period of industrial
prosperity. There is general freedom from
strikes. Important manufacturing plants are
being erected in various sections and numer-
Gus electric power enterprises are being inaug-
urated. The volume of building operations
has been large. In the line of new railroad
construction, work has been confined chiefly to
Aroostook county," Then as to the agricultu-
raj outlook "Advces from Aroostook Indicate
a normal crop of potatoes, perhaps $4,000, 900
bushels, and potatoes are being raised in steadily
increasing quantities in other parts of the State,
as is strikingly indicated by the new potato
storehouses springing up in Waldo, Penobscot
and Plscataquis counties. Increased acreage
is also reported in Washington and Somerset
and throughout the State generally. A Ban
gor merchant, a delegate to this convention,
has raised this season at his summer home on
nearby island in Penobscot Bay, Islesboro,
1000 bushels of potatoes and he plans another
season to devote 40 acres to the raising of
tubers.
