JACOB McGAvocK DICKINSON.

The country is beginning to learl
something of what Mr.. Taft's Secre
tary of War, the Hon. John McGavocl
Dickinson, is. Who he is, they have
known from the beginning. He was
born in Mississippi; married in Ten
nessee, and inherited silver spoor
! at his birth. In early manhood he
sold what talent he had to railroad
corporations and has been their ser
want since. His promotion to the
Presidents cabinet was entirely sat
1sfactory to railroad and other cor
porate interests, and for excuse was
made to read from the South" That
is how Mr.. Dickinson happened.
But Mr.. Secretary of War Dickin.
son is not smooth enough to play his
part. He is so pulled up with his
little brief authority, that he essays
to speak for the South; and no
sooner did he open his mouth than he
put his foot in it. With that majestic
pomposity which so well BELTS his
abdomentic proportions, in a speech
on the field of Gettysburg recently, he
delivered himself of the following:
thine has brought a clearer vision
of the tremendous evils to all states
which would certainly and Immediate
ly have followed upon the establish
ment of the southern confederacy. =
There are in the south but few,
II any, who would not turn swiftly
with sentiments of adherence from
any suggestion that it would have
been better for the south if it had sue
ceeded in establishing an independent
government"
To which unwarranted assumption
to speak for "the South" the Stone
wall Jackson Camp of Confederate
Veterans of Staunton, Virginia, makes
reply as follows:
Resolved, That, lest the speaker
as Southern-born man might be sup
posed to speak for that class, and for
the Confederate soldier, we would say
for the three hundred members of
this camp that the mellowing influ-
ence of time has not yet so cleared
our vision as to altar our views in the
least as to the propriety of what we
did in the sixties. And under the like
circumstances we would take the
same pride in doing it again. We

With this feeling between the north
Mississippi gladiators, it is only nat
ural to assume that if Donald were
in the second primary with Scott,
Brewers support would be thrown to
Donald, just as SCOTS went to Noel
in the last race.
Donald is a man of strong person
ality. He does not own twenty-one
plantations, but has a record of
achievement behind him. AS mayor
OF Hattiesburg he comes nearer en-
forcing the law than does the mayor
OF any town in the state. He stands
nigh among the men of medicine, and
has shown he is worthy of any trust.

GOVERNMENT BY PREACHERS,

An Indiana society which talks
about being engaged in the fight for
persinal lbeirty," protests against
government for and by preachers
1t is to be hoped that the doctrines
OF personal liberty will not be carried
to the extent Of denying freedom of
speech to those who do not drink.
Surely a preacher who has no pecu-
mary interest to serve, but who acts
whether mistaken in judgment or
not-according to what he conscien.
tiously believes is for the good of the
people generally, is as much entitled
to an opinion on the liquor question

simply fail to see how any true Con-
federate soldier of that time could en-
terrain doubts about the justice and
right in the sight Of God of the cause
for which we fought. We took up
arms in Virginia with an intelligent
understanding of our reasons and our
purposes, and the vindication of our
motives may be left to the verdict of
history. The clearer our vision in the
retrospect, the more distinctly we see
that the war forced upon us was one
of naked aggression, invasion and con-
quest and waged less for patriotic
than commercial considerations.
we would have our children taught
the truth of the case as it stood in
1861; not that they may be less loyal
to the union, but that they may prop
erly respect us for what we did then
and are doing now, and may realize
that it is those who are loyal to the
memories of the past who prove tru.
est to the responsibilities of the pres
ent. We abide the issue of arms, but
would neither apologize for our course
nor recant our faith, so doing dshonor
to heroic leaders and brave comrades
who died for it. We think, therefore,
that the speaker took too much upon
himself in assuming to voice the SEN
timent of the south.
I'VE repudiate out and out the prop
osition that our attempt to establish
an independent government was fol-
ly from the outset, or that we were
incapable of maintaining it with dig
nifty and honor and making it sue
cess and power among the nations.
Had the close of the war separated
our fortunes for a time from those of
the northern states, we should prob
ably be no less happy and no less
prosperous. And as for the humber
race, the supposed cause of the strife,
gradual and friendly emancipation
would surely have rewarded their
fidelity while it lasted, and set us right
with the world. Looking to the con-
dftions which actually followed it, our
civilization ruthlessly subverted, So
ciety disorganized, legislatures dis
persed, judges deposed by the vice
and ignorance and malice turned loose
to rule until despair Swallowed every
hearthstone in the southern land-if
her people have risen from the ashes
Of their desolation and carved out foI
themselves new destiny, it is due,
We think, to the unconquerable spirit |
If southern ex-confederates; to their

struggle to rebuild their
homes and fortunes, rather than to

"In our judgment the recognized
acts of industrial and commercial de- |

MAIL DELIVERY FOR TWIN FALLS.
Postoffice Receipts More Than Enough
to Insure Having Carriers.

Twin Falls, JAN 25.-Twin Falls
will have free mail delivery service
in the city this summer. The postoffice
receipts at this Office for the year 1908
totaled $15,171.0S, which is more than
enough to insure free city mail deliv-
cry. The stamp sales for 1908 were
$13,928.43, the box rent receipts ST.
242.65. These figures are certainly re-
markable for a four-year-old town and
are indicative of the wonderful growth
of this city, which for purely agricul-
tnral community. has few parallels.
The city council has appropriated $10,-
900 for street crossings. The proper
ty owners will Immediately build side
walks and number their houses, which,
when done, will be followed by the in
stallation of the free delivery service.
GREAT CRUSH AT POSTOFFICE.
1t is sight worth seeing to go to
the Twin Falls postoffice after the ar
rival of the mail and see the long line
up of people, who get their mail
through the general delivery windows.
Oftentimes a double row of people Is
lined-up for more than city block So
great is the rush for mail that the I'M
fortunate person In the rear of the
column must wait two or three hours
before his turn at the window comes.
The need here of free city deliv-
cry Is great, and when Installed, will
greatly relieve the congestion at the
postoffice while the mail is being dis
tributed each day.-Capital News.
