HOW IT IS IN ARKANSAS

The enthusiasm with which MY.
Roosevelt was received in the South
and West seems well sustained. He
has been drawing crowds. Whether
they come because they had never seen
him before, or as people go to circus
makes little difference, provided they
are pleased when they do hear him.
AL the reports say that his reception
in Arkansas was wonderfully hearty
and that it was usual to hear old line
democrats say they would vote for him
for president next time.
We have called attention to this SEN
timent as existing in Virginia. It has
been laughed at and denied. But all
the same, 1t Is here, and those who
think mistake has been made In this
statement have but TO hold their ears
TO the ground. This Is not the feeling
of those in power. They see menace
In Mr.. Roosevelt, the organization In
Virginia knows 1t spells defeats fol
them. They are so hand In glove with
the other organization, which is oppos
ing Mr.. Roosevelt, that they are I'M
willing to listen to the echos from else
where. They had better listen.

NOW 70 secoME 4 nAr,oN

The tariff has been decried by the
Democratic party ever since its bur
dens began to be felt. But now 1t is
inching away from the issue, indeed
the leaders of the party, as now consti-
tuted, and controlled in the south, are
for protective tariff. Just as the Re
publican party has wheeled into the
tariff reduction column, the South
wheels out. The West has found how
Ubiquitous it is; it has found that there
Is no adequate compensation in the
present high rates to the people who
really pay the tariff burdens; it has
found that labor ought to command
and it is believed will command, as
fair compensation under a reduced
tariff, as now; at least it is ready to
try the experiment., and therefore the
masses are going to demand reduc
ton of the Payne-Aldrich rates.
There is no hedging with La Toilette
Cummins, Beverage and other sent
tors, on this question. They are ir
earnest. 1t is believed also that Their
will be no hedging in the South. II
Georgia the two congressman Wit
voted for protection were laid on tn
COOLING board. 1t should be SO in Vii
ginia, but it is not SO yet, but the pee

In 1912 the issue will be fought GU
fairly and squarely and there. is htti'
doubt about the outcome. From tn
day the United States opens her port
to foreign trade. establishes real CON
merce with other countries, sees ne
merchantmen sailing the ocean, lade
with the fruits of her fields and tn
products of her factories, then we WI
indeed be a nation, q nation such

ON DANGEROUS GROUND

Mr.. Roosevelt is starring it again.
He this time dipped sufficiently to
touch the South in way. He got
about us for such as he thought best
until the unsavory odors Of his Ossa-
watomie speech wear away. He was
little too fulsome over one certain John
Brown to please the South. He ex-
tolled him entirely beyond the regard
the South has for that s'departed
sant,n and the South has not felt very
good over it. Your Uncle Henry
w atterson went into sort of duck fit
over it and rasped the Colonel merci-
lessly. Now Mr.. Roosevelt, if he ex-
poets the South to back him, should
tudy the temper of her people. He
W ent TO Charleston, s. c., on one ccca-
sion, and he pretty nearly insulted those
who had invited him. He has made
several bad breaks in his intercourse
with them. On this last occasion he
W as more considerate. The South will
permit speakers to praise Lincoln
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and many
others and say little, but when
speaker begins extolling that arch GRIM
inal, John Brown, they lose patience

They have no use for that saint mol

the original press has been in CON-

GET RICH QUICK

In most every portion of the world,
even in our own little town of Staun-
ton. some have felt the s'get rich
ouicxn fever and have put their hard
earned money into schemes which
seemed to them attractive, but which
were simply the snare set for the easy
marks. Many have grown wise when
wisdom was not needed so badly as 1t
had been some days previous, many
have repented when too late, many
have been left to struggle with harder
poverty after trying their hands on
some Of those promises of wealth to be
worked out with his or her money by
some invisible person, in some invisl'
BILE way. Some startling cases OF this
kind have recently been unearthed in
New York. Only fewdays ago was one
laid bare by Uncle Sam which was US
ing the mails for fraudulent purposes,
and on investigation it was found thai
it's principal officers were men who had
done time in the penltent1ary. VI
Mondsy a receiver was appointed for 8
supposedly large building and loar
company, and it too was found to be
fraud with an empty treasury.
It was somewhat amusing to fint

mar, ROOSEVELT STANDS PAT

Smoked out at length on the tariff
question, Mr.. Roosevelt last night in
Bt. Louis took his place high up
among the elder statesmen Of pluto
eracy. As president for two terms and
AZ an aspirant for third term, he has
managed for nearly ten years to keep
clear of this issue. Judged now by a
belated utterance which he cannot re-
pudiate 1t is evident that his past
seticence OF uncertainty has been due
as much to Ignorance as to timidity.
Mr.. Roosevelt advocates an ideal
tariff; a tariff that will be just right; q
tariff that will protect everybody,
especially the workingmen, and op-
press nobody; sublimated tariff; 9
truly righteous tariff, and a tariff
without log-rolling and wholly fret
from spot or blemish. 10 this end, o
course, he wants the subject referred
to q commission SO that it will trouble
him no more.-New York World.
