SaWdust Makes Good Roads.

RhIhs Solemn Truth.

There are some people so constituted
that they fly into a rage if they see
anything in print which is contrary to
their beliefs. About the first thing
such an one does is to go direct to the
editor to have his name taken off the
subscription list-always an evidence Of
a little, dwarfed, penuriOus, bigOted
mind. A paper is fortunate in losing

He paid as high as five dollars for

New York congrsssman's Brave Stand
Not Forced BY Patronage.

New York Congressman's Brave Stand
Net Forced BY Patronage.
Like faint echo Of neglected party
campaign cries and Of the forgotten
eloQuence Of the stump is the bin
which was introduced by Congressman
Bennett Of New York some time ago
providing for a reduction Of represen-
tation In states which have disfran-
ehised the Negro. Mr.. Bennefs voice
Is small one. II falls upon dull ears,
but It Is a challenge nevertheless to
al Republicans In executive and legis-
lative station
Fortified though he may be by party
platforms and party traditions, Mr..
Bennett must know that In proposing
this policy he defies presidential pow
er, never so great as It Is today. he
must know that IN speeches in New
York and in the south Mr.. Taft has
virtually approved the notification Of
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments. He must know that the presi-
dent has openly announced that no
Negroes shall be appointed to ONCE IN
opposition to the wishes OF the whites.
He must know that Of all the Repub-
hcan oficeholders and expectant Office
holders he is the only one who has
had the courage TO adhere to the pub
hshed principles OF bis party. He must
know that no important Republican
newspaper will venture to support him.
For these reasons the world halls
Mr.. Bennett as the last Of the true Re
publicans, the sole survivor OF the days
when moral ideas prevailed, the one
man not inundated by power, not IN
huenced by patronage and not cor
upted by ambition or by privilege.
Others have been beguiled by expecta-
tons Of a break IN the solid south, by
ONCE, by privilege and by tariff, and
sim others are naturally servile and
trtfing, but Mr.. Bennett, alone among
the hosts that draw their inspiration
from Republican national conventions,
stands stanch and true for the princi-
pies that are written In the party book
OF faith.
As real heroes are rare In public life,
Mr.. Bennett is entitled to more than
passing notice. Surrounded by time
servers and self seekers and over
Swallowed by executive power which
lightly sets aside platforms, seemingly
nuIlihes law and revolutionizes party
principles and practices, he cannot fan
