OLD VIRGINIA TRUE.

When President Taft re-
turned from the State of Vir-
ginia he no doubt realized that
his chasing the will O. the wisp
of Republicanism through the
South was indeed futile. All
of this talk about breaking the
solid South in the interest of
the Republican party is mere
clap-trap. The South is true
to her traditions. She recog-
nizes the supremacy of the
white man in all things and so
long as the Republican party
ties itself to the negro so long
will it be Stunned by the white
man Of the South. In response
to the appeals of the Republi-
cans to cut down the Demo
cratic vote i'm Virginia the
answer comes back, Twenty
thousand majority for the DEM
ocratic nominee for GOVERNOR

THE TRUTH NOT IN THEM.

The Baltimore American,
which has ever been the defam-
or of Maryland Democrats and
advocated the disfranchise-
ment of our fathers by bayonets
is now bowling mad because
it cannot intimidate the East
ern Shoreman. 1t is now en-
gagged in a TRADE of abuse of
all the Democratic election
supervisors of the Eastern
Shore and is endeavoring TO
cover up an attempt to steal
Worcester County from the
Democrats. The Supervisors
promptly made the plan impos-
sible of contamination and now
comes their howl. Worcester
Election Supervisors have acted
strictly according to law in all
their acts and by advice of emf
nent counsel in this county. We
don't know what others have
done, but we know the ground
they stand on, and if the Ameri.
can and Chairman Hanna in
clude our officials among those
they so glibly brand as rascals
we denounce both the paper
and the Chairman as liars. Your
high-sounding professions and
your yelled threats are not GO
ing to brighten any one here, but
we warn Mr.. Hanna and we
warn the American that there
is a libel law still in existence
in this State.

THE RESULT.

AO ACoaAh VA tAV OAO0NAOaa 80
Worcester County is no sur
prise to the MESSENGER. II we
live twenty-five years longer
we do not expect to see this
county go Republican. The
white people are naturally
Democrats and they are not 60
ing to desert their party for the
men who lead the Republican
party in this county. On be-
half of the leaders of the Demo-
cracy we congratulate the peo-
pie on the glorious victory of
last Tuesday, and on behalf of
the same leaders we thank the
people for the confidence they
have shown in the party in
this county. We are much graft
fled that Snow Hill has perma-
nently taken her place in the
Democratic column to stay, and
we are convinced that in each
succeeding election our strength
will grow until finally we shall
become the Gibralter of Wor-
cester Democracy.
Republicans in the county
found fault with the ballot. 1t
was nice, clean ticket without
any distinguishing lines upon
it, arranged as an educational
test for the voters of all parties.
Democrats have no fault to find
with it. If it was somewhat
puzzling to the colored man
there is no apology due for hav-
ing arranged it in such manner.
The avowed purpose of the
Democratic party is to eliminate
as far as possible the illiterate
negro voter; and if the foreign
born voter and the voters of
Baltimore City will not give the
counties of the Eastern Shore
and Southern Maryland relief
from a continual contest with
this illiterate negro vote, then
the Democrats will circumvent
them by making it as difficult
as possible for the negro to vote.
The result of Tuesdays election
shows that great majority of
the white people, amounting to
about $4,000 voters, favor the
DISTINGUISHING of the illiterate
negro, and it looks now as if
the cause will be successful two
years hence. In the meantime
the Wilson ballot law will re-
main in effect, but when the
amendment is carried we will
return to the vest pocket ballot.
Again, the MESSENGER thanks
the people of Worcester Coun-
ty for the glorious victory they
have helped the Democracy to
win.

Flag Raising Part Of Interest
ing Celebration Friday to
Which the Old Pueblo Turns
Out En- MaSSe.


Bernalillo, y. M, Feb. 12.-Thc
celebration of Lincoln day today in
B%ernalillo was an event long to be
remembered. The people Of the town
turned out en- masse to assist at the
flag raising by the combined schools
of the town. The crowd was one Of
the most enthusiastic eve gathered
in the plaza Of B%ernalillo. The eN-
ereises opened with the rasing of the
flag on a brand new pole erected IN
the middle Of the plaza. 10 the IN
spring strains Of America, sung by
the school pupils, the flag was slow
~ raised to the top of the Flagstaff
while all heads were uncovered. Then
followed the pledge Of allegiance TO
the flag by all the school children. A
fine program OF music n oratory
followed. Master NJ. Lessee spoke
What the Flag Means after which
Lincoln's Gettysburg address was de-
livered by Master +. Costello. Both
speeches were loudly %applauded. The
musical program included choruses
by the girls and boys, America,
The star Spangled Banner ana
New Mexico sung TO the ,une, MY

dian Mission school, tIe LOretto

USING Up THE SURPLUS.

Uncle sam feels the hard times, as
wen as the rest Of US. and is rapidly
using up the savings that he has had
lnid by tor q rainy day. and though
he does not have to take a place in
the ranks Of h unemployed, he is
one of the most conspicuous Of those
who are not able TO make ends meet.
Of any change for the better The
national bank dcpositaries have com
pleted their payments to the treasury
under the can Of secretary Cortelyou
Of January 10, when he demanded
the return Of $50. OOO. 900 of the pub
among the banks and there viii be-
gin now the payments under the sec
retary's call Of January "a. when he
asked for $50, 900 ,0oo.
The latest treasury statement
shows a balance remaining in the de-
positary banks Of $50 1870, 3Gt. At the
eame time the working balance Of the
treasury Is Il little more than $40
coo. 900.
a year ago the banks held about
S250.00O 900. That was Immediately
after the panic OF the fall of 1901.
when the amount deposited with ting
banks reached a higher figure than
ever before, and the working balance
OF the treasury went down to under
81, 000. 600. the lowest il had ever
been. The steady excess of eXpendi-
lures over receipts for the fiscal year
has constantly decreased the available
balance Of the treasury.
The gentleman who succeeds Sec
treasury department is likely to be
confronted by a situation which VIII
involve considerable difficulty.
IT is not expected that the situa-
tion win reach a crisis for some
months yet, even II 1t does then. The
gross, by a surprising curtailmenc Of
expenditures, may assist a fortitous
Increase In the revenues to meet the
governments expenditures, SO that no
emergency measures will be neccs-
sary.
The call ON the depository banks
nov going into effect viii increase the
WORKING balances TO approximately
$40, 600. 600 The deficit for ths re-
mainder OF the mont win hardly ex-
$4,000, 600, and in all proba-
bility win not reach that amount
For the last few months the deficit
has averaged about $4,000 goo q
month, showing. however. recently, a
Slight decrease from that sum. That
would leave the working balance at
about SEQ. zoe. goo when Secretary
Cortelyou turns the treasury over to
successor on March 4.
