Hon. O. B. Stevens, Original Cham
pion for Reduction of
! Passenger Rates
HELPED TO SECURE THEM
Endorsed by Farmers Union News.
Let the Farmers Have One Railroad Commissioner

There is at this time three lawyers
and one railroad man and one farmer
on the Georgia railroad commission.
We have no objection to there being
lawyers on the commission, we have no
objection to what is termed business
men in the commission. We do feel.
however, that it is but fair to the far
rners of the state that there should
be one farmer in the councils Of this
body. ~.
1t was in 1907 that the Farmers union
decided to make a fight for the reduc-
tion of passenger rate.
1t was the present farmer candidate
for reelection on the railroad COM
mission, Hon. o. B. Stevens. who at
once championed the farmers cause.
We asked him to help us, he agreed
to help US, and we secured the reduc-
tion of the passenger rate. 1t is bit
strange to us. that an effort should be
made at this time to remove the only
farmer from this commission. Are we
to understand that it is because he
championed the farmers request for
the reduction of passenger rates7 1t
locks suspicious to us.

Repeal the Internal Revenue
system

I admit this week two communications from
correspondents who favor the repeal OF the in
ternal revenue system; not because OF its IN.
justice TO the taxpayers. but because the liquor
could be made easier and purer. and sold with
out direct or hypocracy.
Ny objection to the whole business centers
about the partnership which exists between the
United States government and the liquor man
ufacturers. The government puts its favorit-
ism upon these liquor makers without blush
for decency or shame. II is nefarious cob
binatiOn, and has had immense influence to-
wards corrupting the national politices OF the
country. Ii has been tused for corruption and

the JAPANESE WAR CLOUD.


The following excerpt taken from
letter written by H. G. Morrison,
the editor of the Pentecostal Herald,
who has but lately returned from a
world Missionary Tour. makes inter-
esting reading matter on the Far
Eastern situation as effecting the
United States, and coming from a
man Of Morrsons unquertioned
truthfulness, should receive careful
consideration by Americans:
Having seen enough for ono day,
we strolled homeward, while the SOL
diers wheeled, opened out, went for
ward at the double closeup, screened
themselves in basin, and charged,
shouting up, the bill.
Thus it goes on day after day,
month through, and year around, in
Japan. Drills, parades, sham bat
ties, long marches in rain and mud
anything and everything to tougher
THE muscles, develop the endurance
and make acute every sense of the
soldier, make HIM ready and fit in ey-
cry possible way to march and fight
for his beloved Japan. Whom is he
getting ready for? Whom has the
officers and soldiers in mind all the
time as they prepare themselves for
a possible coming conflict? Shall
tell the SIMPLE truth? The United
States. This is no secret in the East.
The possibilities of armed conflict be-
tween Japan and the United States
is the subject of serious conversation
from the deck of steamer at Port
Said, Egypt. to the hotel offices IN
San Francisco. OF course it is the
policy of Japan to be ready for any
emergency that might arise, but
there is no doubt that the United
States stands first in her mind as the
most probable military antoganlst'
No doubt the United States could
and would wear out and conquer the
Japanese, but such war would in
Volve vast sacrifice of human life
and put war debt upon the nation
which would be a burden for the ris-
ing generations. May God save us
from such fearful calamity. But
with the present outlook, if L were
secretary of foreign missions would
press the work of evangelizing Japar
with all possible vigor, and if | were
secretary of war, | would put thu
army and navy in shape to meet an.
emergency. -

Need Of the Modern Editor.

In the almost tragic events of to.
day, in this all important period
when the new industrial life is trying
to adjust itself to the governmental
principles which its growth has made
necessary, the most enviable and in
many respects the most admirable
parsonage Of all is the fearless, con-
scientious student of affairs at his
editorial table, backed by his some
times self sacrificing employer or
business associate, dealing with those
questions day by, day according to
the truth as he sees it. No predeces-
sor in his calling ever had such gil
gantic questions with which to deal,
and none ever had such temptations
to which to yield. He will take his
stand in future years with the great
est of his calling. and notwithstand-
ing what is called the waning power
of the press, fortunately for the coun-
try there are such men and plenty of
them. Senator Borah of Idaho.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE NECESSARY.
BrYans Commoner.

Bryans Commoner.
Eterna: vigilance has been declar.
ed to be the price of liberty. and the
voters ought to be reminded of this
fact when they are selecting their
public officials. Governments are
administered by human hands, and
human, beings are imperfect Even
with the best inten tions they often
err in Judgment, and when powerful
interests are on one side and the ST.
lent and unorganized masses on the
other, the representative is some
times weaned away from bis constit-
uents and their interests, The dan
ger is the greater the farther the in
dividual is removed from the voters;
even city councilmen occasionally
betray their trust; state legislators
more often do, because they are not
so carefully watched.

VARDAMAN PLEASEs TENNESSEANs

Jackson Clarion Ledger.
While this paper and Gov, Varda-
man do not as rule, agree upon put
lie questions, and all men, have the
right to disagree upon questions Of
principles and men they do agree up
on the political situation ofTennessee
each holding to the opinion that the
Democracy of that state should gel
together and elect Senator Taylor &c
the gubernational chairs in other
words, that it Is the duty of tht
Democrats of the old Volun teer State
to reunite and elect a Democratic
State ticket.
Gov. Vardaman was a visitor tC
the Tennessee Democratic convention
at Nashville, on Thursday and was
called upon for an address which is
reported by the Commercial Appeal
as follows:
81 have never missed On oppor-
tunity to speak for Democracy, s he
said: II have watched with deep in
terest the tribulations of the party
in Tennessee. | have waited for
leader to come forth to lead the party
to victory. Like the Roman general,
dear old Bob Taylor has always de
sired to be placed where the fighting
was the thiekest. Why should Ten,
nessee turn over the government the
birthright of the white people, to the
Republicans"
Mai. Vardaman made allusions to
the many Confederate veterans; sur
rounding him on the platform and
gave democratic picture of'the sui
ferings of the soldier in gray, aud
then demonded to know il. the white
people were going to surrender1what
they had won. IF they do,ii said he
they are traitors to their ances tors.
They have no right to surrender the
birthright of Southern VIII te,lmen
and Democrats. This is no time, for
spleen and prejudice. Hate hurts
him who harbors it, 1t paralizes his
judgment, And in conclusion he
told the Democrats to keep up the
good fight and the victory would be
theirs on Nov. 8. Tremendous APP
plause was given Maj. Wardaman.

The Ten Cent 0IeomargarIne Tax.

O1llJ OhlOA
Why did the. Congress of the Uni
ted States enact the present oleom-
argarine law which provides for an
internal revenue tax of ten cents per
pound on artiticially colored oleomar-
.garine? Was it TO permit the butter
producers of the country to exact a
high price for butter as has been
claimed? To make such claim is a
pretty serious indictment of our fed
era law making body. Ofcourse but
ter is higher in price than it was ten
years ago but so are other necessities
tof life. The percentage of Oleomar-
garine now being put upon the mar
ket bears a higher ratio to the a.
mount of butter consumed than ii
did ten years ago. This coupled with
Ethe fact that less than three per cent
of the oleomal garine sold is taxed at
ten cents per pound proves that the
oleomargarine law has absolutely
nothing to do with the price of but
tier.
/ Congress enacted this law to pre-
vent fraud in the sale of oleomarga-
rine. The law was never intended
to prevent the honest sale OF o.eo-
margarine or to enhance the inter-
ests of the butter producers of the
country. but rather to protect the
one against fraud in the purchase OF
butter or oleomargarine and the 9th.
er against fraudulent competition.
B Congress ipteuhed to compel the
sale of oleonaggagine in its natural
IcoIor. (which is whiteser nearly so)in-
Stead. of in the natural co'or of butter
|(which is Yellow Congress at the
same time reduced the former tax of
two cents per. pound on oleomarga-
rine to one-fourth of q cent per
pound when the product.is not arti-
ficially colored to look like butter.
y Congress used its taxing power to
prevent fraud in the sale of oleomar-
garine. because it had no other etfe3--
tive means of accomplishing that re-
snlt.X When oleomargarine is put
upon the market in its natural color

fourths cents less per pound than
under any previous oleomargarine
law. a
The butter producers of the coun
try are benefited by oleomargarine
legislation in so far as the integrity
OF the dairy industry is sustained
a benefit which is shared by every
other citizen. It is most important
branch Of agriculture and it is quite
sas essential to prevent the destruc-
ton of an agricultural industry by
fraud asst is to prevent the destruc-
ton of our banking innustry or any
of the other industries in which ev-
