THE COMING EVENT.
(Winnsboro Reporter.)
lost.

Indications point toward some
uncalled for criticisms towards the
three candidates in the field for
Congress. 1t is reported that Mr..
McGregor sneered at the great speech
ION to Dixie" delivered by Mr..
Ransdell in Congress recently, and
in turn is severely criticized for said
sneering. All of this is uncalled for,
if true, and We hope the friends of
all the candidates, and the candi-
dates themselves, will refrain from
bitterness during the campaign.
We see no reason for Mr.. Rams
dell's friends assuming any other
than most pleasing attitude tow
ard his opponents, while we do not
in any sense blame man for de-
Tending his friends, but it might be
well to be long suffering and kind
i'm this matter, for the simple fact
that Mr.. Ransdell will get more
votes than both his opponents at
the first primary. We cannot be-
lieve the people win ignore such a
man as Ransdell, who to say the
least, is a national figure. It is true,
as one has said, that when Ransdell
speaks, the whole nation listens.
We esteem Mr.. McGregor very high
ly and think him competent to fill
the position he seeks, and his chances
may be good later on, and We hope
he will not spoil his prospects. Mr..
Ransdell will doubtless go back to
Congress with an overwhelming ma.
jority, but he may be called upon
to go up higher, and then the other
men who are competent to fill his
present position will have a chance.
That vote on the lumber tariff
may he out of harmony with the
strict democratic doctrine and if we
should grant that it was great
mistake on the part of our Congress-
man, yet we venture the assertion
that any of his opponents will make
even greater mistakes than this one
if they have only two years in the
National Congress, or else they will
do nothing. Mr.. Ransdell is a great
man, and the people will return him
to Congress and some day to the
Senate, aud then for the other men

NOT THE PARADISE ANTICIPATED

When the new State of Oklahoma
was first thrown open to settlement
the colored population from various
portions Of the South began flock
ing there under the impression APP
parently that it was going to be a
"Colored Mans Paradise" but they
are now realizing the mistake they
have made. The first State election
under the new order of things has
just taken place, and contrary to
the expectations of many the Dem
ocrats did not only win out, but
did so by a handsome majority, and
also adopted what is known as The
Grandfather's Clause" to the State
Constitution.
This means the entire elimina-
ton Of the ignorant colored vote,
just as is the case in Mississippi and
some Of the other Southern States,
and which will eventually spread
to every State in the Union, because
the vote is dangerous to all free
American institutions.
Thus has been rudely shattered
the hopes, aspirations and ambi-
tons Of the hundreds of blacks who
went there expecting to rank with
the very best Of the citizens, and
they will eventually find that they
had better remained where they
were. instead Of pulling up stakes
Ind going 70 that iar.away State.

All the reports from the rice fields
Of Tensas, Madison, Catahoula and
other parishes continue good. Some
excellent samples Of wheat have also
been produced hereabouts, and it
may be that our planters will go
into that industry to an extent that
will justify the establishment of a
Touring as well as a rice mill in
this locality.

DO YOUR FULL DUTY.

The Gazette desires to urge upon
the Democratic voters of the Fifth
Congressional District Of Louisiana
to appear at the polls enaAe 9Th
day of September. proximo. and
cast their votes at the primary for
the denomination and reelection
of Hon. J. f. Ransdell to Congress
from this District, just as they
should do, if they want to do their
duty by the best representative the
good old State of Louisiana has ever
had at Washington City since the
late civil war, statesman ever alert
for all that was calculated to make
for the best interests OF the District,
the Commonwealth and really the
nation at large, for Mr.. Ransdell
does not confine his efforts and
labors to local interests altogether,
but is. broad enough to grasp every
national affair in which the whole
nation is concerned or interested.
In the halls of the body of which
he is q member he is recognized as
leader upon the Democratic side,
while at the same time command
| ing the respect and recognition OF
those of the opposite party, who
give him full credit for his distin-
guished ability and full knowledge
of the needs of the nation, and ii
is through this respect and admira-
ton that he has been and will be
able to accomplish so much more
for our District than any new and
untried man could hope to do in
several terms.
While the Gazette, and most o.
the friends of Mr.. Ransdell, feel thai
his election is a fOregOne conclusion
we and they should not let this feel
ling of over-confidence lull rs int
indifference and fancied security
lnor cause us to relax any OF ou
efforts to make his election a Ger
tainty beyond peradventure. Owe
confidence sometimes cause pOliti
cal battles, as well as those upOl
the actual fields of sanguinary strife
to be lost, that were regarded a
won. Mr.. Ransdell's supporters AM
admirers should put in every lie
where it will be calculated to d
the most good, and never rela
their efforts or work until the smOk
of battle shall have cleared frOr
the field on the eve of the 9Th {
; this coming September. So far
the District and the State are con
cerned the game is well worth tn

: may be stronger than is anticipated
and in this event it is possible
battle worth the winning may /

LOOKS GOOD FOR THE PARTY.

Unless the Gazette is mistaken in
its view Of the political horizon the
Democrats have a better opportu-
M naik 10 win in the coming pres
idential election, than it has ever
had since Grover Cleveland went
into the presidency on the great po-
litical tidal wave that swept over
the nation when. he was elected to
the Chief Magistracy. The condi-
tions now are apparently the same
as they were then, and if the DEM
ocratic leaders will only avoid any
fatal mistakes, history will repeat
itself again at the next turn of the
national wheel.
For various reasons the voters OF
the nation are becoming tired OF
Republican rule, and are in great
measure demanding change, in
both root and branch. In our judg-
ment the Democracy has not only
chance of carrying the President
ial election, but likewise of electing
maiorities in both branches of Con-
gress. The rule of the Republicans
has been almost prohgate, and with
little or nothing to show for it in
the way of National advancement
along any line calculated for its up
building or betterment in substan-
tial way.
The peoples money has been
spent like water, graft has crept
into every nook and Granny of its
administration, and the end is not
to be seen yet, nor will it be until
there shall be a general upheaval
lin all the high places. The Gazette
takes it that Mr.. Taft is not re-
former in any sense of the word,
but on the contrary, with the few
promises Of reforms that he has
Igiven, he will close his eyes to the
old order of things, and let them
ro.k along just as they have been
doing ever since Grover Cleveland
and the Democratic party were re-
tired from power.

comes from within, not from without,
that you can not beat goodness into
people, or give them a prescription
for it, to be taken in doses, like medi-
cine, but that they must generate it
out of their own hearts, and it believes
that if we will only make social and
economic conditions that will give all
men, instead of a few men chance to
live, they will naturally and inevitably
become good. It teaches that you
can not make people good by law, nor
by policemen's clubs, nor by guns
and bayonets, for it sees only hatred
in these processes, and it knows that
hatred ceaseth not by hatred; hatred
ceaseth but by love. =

The Price of Tobacco.

"Did you ever hear of Kentucky
farmer being prosecuted when tobacco
was three to five cents a pouad?'
asked Representative Cantrill of Ken
lucky in discussing the recent efforts
of the federal courts to protect the
tobacco trust by imprisoning md
fighting the farmers who are fighting
the trust.
It appears that while tobacco was
low the trust was not anxious to pro-
secute violations of the Sherman law
on the part of the farmers. But when
the union of tobacco raisers was
effective and the price which the trust
was compelled to pay the grower went
up, then the federal department of
justice (?) became very energetic. It's
energy was not directed toward the
tobacco trust, however, but toward
the farmer. The Sherman antitrust
law, true to it's welI-esta blished rep
utation, always operates like an old
smooth-bore musket, doing the biggest
damage to those who are trying to
use it. It has never injured anyone,
but trade unionists and farmers up to
the present time.
The Kentucky congressman is close
to discovering big truth when he
points out the connection between the
price of tobacco and the action of the
federal judiciary. Some of the great
est movements in history are closely
connected with price changes. When
cotton was low Calhoun and South
Carolina we're theoretically opposed
to slavery in favor of a national bank
and protective tariff. When cotton
went up Calhoun threatened to break
up the union if a tariff was levied or
the bank continued, while his state
did attempt to secede when slavery
was threatened. These shifts in price
arouse great class interests to activity
These interests control branches of
the government. The government
moves in response to those interests.
When the workers become as quick
to recognize their class interests they
can make government respond in the
same manner.

Poverty Drives to Drink.

In the July number of Current Lit
erature appears an article dealing with
the views of Brand Whitlock, the pop
ular novelist mayor Of Toledo. As
Mr.. Whitlock is man of broad views
his opinion upon public q uestions are
worthy of consideration. Speaking of
Sabbath observation he says:
'The conditions of employment are
such that men, for the most part, are
indoors all week, and when the day of
rest comes, or at least those to whom
it does come, naturally as their coun-
try cousins went indoors, seek recrea-
ton in the open air. Again, when we
reflect upon the intensity OF the mod
ern struggle for existence, the rigor-
Gus demands made upon the vital for
ces of men in the economic conflict,
the long hours of toll in close and Of
ten i'll ventilated shops, stores and
factories, the nervous strain, the risk
and danger in operating machines, it
will be seen that some relaxation is
necessary, and this fact, more than
any other, explains the search for
amusement, the theater, the ball game
and all that. These things become a
necessity under the economic condi-
tons of today. The saloon, it is true,
stands upon somewhat different
grounds, yet, where the resort to it
can not be explained on the ground
of real or fancied social necessity, it
being the only public place where
many men may meet freely as equals
and enjoy each other'ss society, it is
found to be due to the necessity for
stimulation decreed by this Unsuitable
machine, which by exhausting mems
bodies in the mad greed for profits,
drives them to stimulants in an i'm.
pulsive effort to restore their wasted
forces and exhausted bodies. And
beyond all this, deeper, sadder, more
pathetic far than all this, is the fact
that thousands by society's grim
machine are driven to drink by pow
erty quite as often as they are driven
to poverty by drink. Indeed, think
that Mr.. Tom L. Johnson spoke the
truth when he said 'that there are
more people who drink because they
are miserable than there are people
who are miserable because they drink.
The Sabbath realized by our Puritan
ancestors has been altered by the con-
ditions Of our economic system"
Mr.. Whitlock has no faith in mora
lily by law. Speaking of his labors
IN the cause of equality and brother
hood he says:
THAT philosophy has no faith in
the efficacy of force in making people
good. 1t teaches that goodness
