Yet sometimes we see such marvellous
results come from nothing but sheer
pluch that we cannot help but utter
this trite phrase. While away during
the holidays, the editor of this paper
visited the Western Tuskeegee, the
Topeka Industrial Institute, of which
Prof. Wm. r. Carter is the head. Some
six years ago, we paid it a first visit,
and We're therefore able to make COM
parison. From name and hope, it
has come into a stone reality, perched
upon hill surrounded by broad acres
of its own. 1t is sweet to dream
dreams and then realize them, and in
the substantial buildings which now
house the Topeka Institute, and in the
sturdy bodies and alert minds that it
trains, we see the consummation OF q
mans hopes far beyond our expecta-
tions. Truly pluck wins and in tell
ing this story of progress it is our pur-
pose not so much to praise those who
have done, for they are of the few
elect who will always try, but to nerve
on the hopeless, to make the best fight
there is in them.

There is so much for us to learn

until Rev T. l.. Branch, the mission
ary, spoke Sunday at the Alliance,
then we concluded that the subject

he, with instruments which the

The longest way round has been the
shortest way home in the case of the
discharged soldiers, it seems. In other
words, the impossible has come to
pass, and the president retiring has
agreed to the reinstatement of the
discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
infantry, and it is an accomplished
fact whenever they make application
for re-enlistment through the channels
designated. Roosevelt did not sign the
bill, but acquiesced in it, allowing it
to become law through the usual
course of not vetoing it.

After a long and bloody struggle Great
Britain, aided by Hindustan Canada and the
United States Of North america, crushed the
South African Republics. The war had its
origin in the selfish aims of the English gold
mine companies.
Spain is plunging into struggle of the
same kind. A few of her capitalists are in
terested in the mines of Morocco, and in the
construction of railroads. The native tribes
are intensely hostile to these foreign exploit
ers, and seek to drive them off. To sustain
them, Spain calls for troops.
But, even among the priest-ridden Span
iards, knowledge and feeling of independ-
ence is making its way, and there is popu-
lar uprising against the Moroccan war;
Men of family don't relish the idea of 60
ing into foreign country to lay down their
lives for lot of hungry gold-seekers. Wives
are 10th to part with husbands ordered to
such a sacrifice. Mothers cannot cheerfully
yield up their sons to contest so inglorious
and sordid.

Republican Pledges Broken

Look out, President Taft! IF you sign
that infamous Payne-Aldrich bill, you will
have to meet the reproaches of those who will
accuse you of breaking your word.
No candid man will claim that there has
been a genuine revision downward of the
tariff, when the rates on wooden goods are
left untouched, when cotton duties are given
an upward push, when the Tobacco and Su-
gar trusts retain in full the shameful legsla-
tive advantages which they have long en-
jOyed. A tariff revision which in answer to
the righteous demands of the pillaged con-
sumers produces a tariff Of 100 per cent. on
blankets, is one which is just as sure to give
its sponsors trouble as election day is certain
to come.
Not a single Trust can complain of the
Payne-Aldrich bill. The unprotected mil
lions of consumers will be hit, and hit hard
And New England gets the lions share, as
she has been doing ever since Alexander Ham
ilton bribed her leaders with Congressional
favors in 1899
IF Mr. Taft signs the bill which represents
what the protected interests want-and about
aOhich the people haze been giyen no bearing
at 01,-he will be held responsible It was
he who made the public pledges which caused
the people to hope for q reduction IN the cost
Of Hving.
The Payne-Aldrich bill is going to cruelty
disappoint those hopes. The people will not
be long in making the discovery that this re-
vision OF the tariff is a sham, and that the
new bill represents a cowardly surrender to
the trusts.
And the people will blame Mr., Taft. Tt
was he who gave his wOrd-nOt Aldrich, nor
Lodge, nor Payne, nor Cannon.

bush, I'm Dutchman. And the Judge con-
fidently expects to bamboozle his constituents
into trusting him with another term. If they
do they Will have just about such a repre-
sentative as they deserve.
The fallacy of the Judges reasoning is
gauzy, transparent.
The platform of the Democratic party con-
forms to the historic demand for a bill framed
primarily to yield revenue to the Govern
protected from foreign competition.
But, specifically, the platform demands ''the
immediate repeal of the tariff duty on lum-
Der, logs and timber" The two planks are
not at all inconsistent. 1t is the same as
though the words we're, eve promise to frame
bill on the revenue producing principle, but
we will not put any tariff at all on lumber,
because it is one of the prime necessaries of
life. On those articles that we do tax, we will
impose a revenue tariff, but we promise to
take all tariff duties off lumber.

and he broke it,

or troublesome kink in the record. This sec
ond argument is as good as the first one was.

Who Shall Say What the LazV Is?

When our forefathers founded this Gov
eminent, they took care to guard against a
union of church and state. They saw what
evils such a union had brought upon the Old
World, and they wished to save the New
World from a similar experience.
France is one of the European countries
which has been grievously afflicted by clerical
meddllng with political affairs; and, few
years ago, she decided to adopt the American
policy of separation of church and state
But the Papa and his priests did not relish
the thought of losing the ten million dollars
per year which they had so long enjoyed at
the expense of the French taxpayers Conse-
quently, Papa and all his priests began to
kick, noisily, wrathfully, persistently, fran
t1cally. From the clamor and furious cutlery
made by Papa and his priests you'd have
thought that the French government was in
tending to drill blast holes in the Rock of
Ages and to dynamite the foundations of
Christianity.
The Vatican politicians pulled the wires,
and the first thing we knew Cardinal Gibbons
and all of his disciplined satellites were tell
ing the faithful that the French government
hated God and was making war on religion.
Gibbons knew better, but the faithful didn't.
They only knew that the Papa was raising
Cain in Rome and France, and that Papa
wanted them to raise Cain in the United
States.
To the full extent that Cardinal Gibbons
could fire the fanaticism of the faithful, we
had Cain raised in America. Mass meetings
of wrathful Catholics in New York and
Washington and other cities denounced the
French government vehemently, and prom
ised undying support to Papa.
We saw the shameful spectacle of Vice
President Fairbanks attending, an assemblage
in which a sister republic, whose aid was in
dispensable to the achievement of our nation

Dying Boxer Hero Asks Aid Fol-
Nurse He Wed.

San Francisco, Sept.-A ugus
Chamot, the "hero of the Boxer up
rising" wearing the decoration of the
French Legion of Honor, a medal
from the late Pope LED Kill, and
with testimonials to his bravery from
a half dozen nations, is dying in pow
erty at his home in Darkspur, San
Francisco suburb, after making vain
appeals for aid for his wife, who was
Miss Betsy Dollar, of New York, his
nurse, whom he secretly married last
Thursday.
Chamot is the man who risked his
life when the Boxers were besieging
Pekin in 1897 to obtain provisions for
the 1920 foreigners and Christians in
the besieged city. He obtained sup
plies enough to last rs days, and the
whole world rang with applause for
MS deed.
Tuesday, turned down by those
who then lavished gifts upon him,
Chamot sent the following message
to his friends in his native country:
Il am dying. Will you pay my

Dollar, who has nursed him during

Where He is a Bit Lame.

In his speech, at Albany; N. Y, Mr..
Taft said: 81 want Governor Hughes
to come out and back me up on this
platform. When we are together
there is plenty Of strength, and we
work better than on separate plat
forms. In Massachusetts,, from where
! just came, had a senator and a
congressman or two to help me on
the platform, and that's where I need
assistance"
Many aetruth has been uttered in
Jest. Mr.. Taft was nominated as a
Roosevelt reformer and elected as
tariff revisionist. He helped in the
enactment of a tariff bill that increases
the consumers burdens, declared
Aldrich to be the republican leader in
the senate and fit counsellor for the
American people and gave to Secre-
tary Ballinger a clean bill. With
these facts in view one is impressed
that the president was right when he
said that's where l need assist
