We are glad Mr.. Bryan is coming
Commoncr have been telling lies about
one of his best friends, formerly re-
siding in the city of Charleston, ana
now temporarily. or permanently, d.
voreed from that wonderfully fine old
town where the most of the people
live in peace with all the world on
rice. bakers bread and rainwater.
Mr.. Bryan would not have written in
so defamatory way about his cham
pion and longtime friend; at least
lie did not so write this time. He
knows that out of total vote of co.
2sS cast in the last Presidential cleo
ton in South Carolina. 5S,325 were
cast for him, n reasonably large pro-
portion, we should say, in the circum-
stances. In fact, it was better than
he did in his own State, where the
Commoner is published and where its
influence is presumably greater than
in any other part of the country. In
Nebraska the Republicans cast in the
last Presidential election 126,997 votes

Democrats. In South Carolina, there
were only 1858 Republican votes
polled for the Republican candidate.
In Virginia the Republicans polled at
the last Presidential election 52,573
votes. When Mr.. Bryan first ran for
President in 1896, he received 154,709
votes in Virginia; in 1900 he received
146,0S0, and in 1905 he received 3d.
946. In South Carolina he received,
in 1896, 5S,79S votes; in 1900, 47236,
and in 1908. G2,2SS. We suppose that
even the Commoner can see how the
drift has been away from South Car
DINA and its adherence to Mr.. Bryan
and all his works; but that State has
stood fast, and now to be told that
one of its citizens, who supported him
through thick and thin in spite of the
fact that he thought it was almost
criminal to nominate him, rendered
considerable service to the Republican
party" is almost base ingratitude,
When we think of that Big Fat Hen
and that Hong Kong Gander and the
trouble we had with them and all in
the interest of the great Nebraskan, it
seems almost hopeless to try to do
anything for him. But desert him?
Never! He "ain't getting the Offices"
but he is shaping the policies OF the
country, and we are with him even
unto death. Roosevelt took part Of

HOW TO BREAK UP THE G. o. p.
Last week Speaker Cannon was
turned down in the House at Wash
ington. and, on Tuesday lothian P.
Aids, State Senator of New York,
was convicted of bribery by a vote of
40 to . by the New York state SEN
ate. Things are going rather hard
with the Republicans. Aids will not
be prosecuted and sent to the peni-
Tertiary because of the statute of
Limitations; but he has been driven in
disgrace from the office he has
held since 1895. He is no worse than
many other members of his party; but
he is the one man out of a hundred
who has been caught. We believe that
the New York Evening Post is more
responsible for his downfall than any
of the other papers in that town, as
it was the first to formulate the
charges upon which he has been tried
and convicted. There is talk of taking
up others of his pals and it is hoped
that they will all be kicked out or
sent up
1t begins to look like a Democratic
year, in fact, and if all the Republi-
cans who should be in the penitentiary
could be sent there before the cleo
lions next November, the Democrats
would be able to walk over dry shod.

roo LITTLE no SEPARATE.

TOO LITTLE TO SEPARATE.
That solid sheet, the staunton
Leader. is still worrying about tax
separation. The bee is in it's bonnet
and 1t cannot get 1t out. Recently,
in an able article on the subject, the
Leader declared that the Assembly of
1912 would probably be called to
pass on the whole question of tax sep
aration and to decide whether or not
the State should reserve part of
the taxable property for the expenses
of government and leave the rest to
the counties and cities exclusively.
In answer to this, we declared our
firm adherence to the principle in gen
eral, though we were not particularly
concerned about it at present. knowing
that 1912 is long way off and that
no man can predict what the Assembly
will do then. we stated, however.
that while separation might come in
Virginia, it would not come and could
separate. Nothing daunted, the Leader
comes back to the subject and thinks
that the people will not drop the mat
ter as lightly as we have been inclined
shall hear from the subject In the
future.
We hope we may, because tax sep
aration vitality concerns the revenues
nf tta o. tta W. oil ~ tho
people. In the meantime, however, and
while we are waiting to hear more on
the subject. it might be we'll to say
why tax separation cannot come in
Virginia at present.
The plan. as generally adopted, has
been to leave the taxation of personal
property and lands to the counties
and cities. while allowing the state
government to tax all other property.
This, to be sure, is rather unfair TO
the cities, in some instances, because
it will deprive them of all right to
tax public service corporations. often
with very little tangible and taxable
property. which do a great business
in the cities. In addition, If the prn-
ciple of separation were carried out to
its legitimate end, the cities and coun-
ties would have no right to levy
license and franchise taxes. and would
thereby lose much more revenue.
So far as the state is concerned, its
powers OF taxation, if limited to other
property than personality and realty,
would be subject to one very great
limitation: the amount of taxes could
not be increased beyond a fixed rate,
except as business grew. There is
limit to justice in every tax, and
when that limit is reached the State
must stop.
How would the matter stand in dol
counties and cities bore the criminal
expenses of their respective courts,
and taxed personal and real property,
the net income of the State would be
s4,194O65 the year. according to the
figures for 1909. This sum is mani
testify insufficient especially since
every department of state government
every asylum and every school would
have to be continued, in large part at
least, by the State The interest on
the public debt alone requires sS15.00O
annually; schools demand s1.SS5,O0o:
lunatics arc cared for at an annual
cost of si55,o0o, and pensions require
almost as much. These are by no
means all the expenses of the State
Government. but even these amount, in
round numbers to o,OoO-or within
half million dollars of the total
available revenue. This is too close
margin for comfort or for safety.

Moved by the statement of The
Times-Dispatch in the post-ofTlce rob-
berry case that laws will not prevent
crime and police protection will not
always stop theft" the Suffolk Eve
ming Herald observes:
while law DOES not absolutely pre-
vent crime, 1t lessons 1t to a great
degree. and II the same diligence were
exercised In running down violators
of the prohibition or local option laws,
law would be as powerful to prevent
the illegal sale OF Intoxicating liquors
as theft, but at the best both would
continue"
But in at least one of the States of
the Union the activities OF the state
were for time so occupied with the
nursuit of violators OF the liquor law
that other nearly as great criminals
had comparatively easy sailing.
The Clarke Courier has mot been
able to appreciate any reason for re.
fusng to pass the enabling act, even
though the Democratic policy has been
stated as committed entirely to local
option. The Democratic organization
has for years been admittedly the asso-
ciate and friend of the liquor interests,
so what else could you expect?" In
order that there will be no possible
future Misunderstanding" says the
Courier, 1--WE unqualiiiedly favor in

who will soon be elected, to vote for the
STROBE enabling act as finally amended
and make due provision for an election
at a time when no state officers are
being chosen" This does not mean,
we take 1t, that the Courier is in favor
of making the fight for the control OF
the next General Assembly regardless
of personal and political affiliations"
That IS the point of present moment,
and it can be settled better by a State
Democratic Convention than by any
other means.

RUSS|A'S CONTROL OVER
FINNS RESTS WITH DUMA
Passage of Bill LegisIating Diet
to Minor Importance Fore
CaSted in Vote

ST. PETERSBURG, June 3.-The de-
bate on the governments Russo-Fin-
nish bill was begun in the duma today.
The galleries were crowded, as interest
in the legislation is intense. In effect,
the measure, which is described as de-
fining the legislative division between
the duma and the Finnish diet, ex-
tends the authority of the former body
over the duchy All laws of imperial
Importance are made applicable to Fin
land without the consent of the diet.
1t was drawn in accordance with
Emperor Nicholas manifesto and 1t
aroused bitter resentment in Finland.
On May the diet accepted the report
of it's committee to which the matter
had been referred, declaring the bill
unconstitutional and recommending
that it be returned to his majesty
without action. The bill, however, met
with favor in the duma, where on
March 80 it was referred to a commit
tee of tWenty-one members. The ma
iority for this action was composed of
Mohammedans, Progressives, October
lists, Nationalists and Conservatives
The opposition was led by Professor
Maliukoff of the Constitutional Demo-
cratic party and M. Gegeichtert and
Pekovsky of the Social Democrats, who
were supported by the Laborites. Its
ultimate passage was forecasted in the
first test vote today. The provision

vision of Finnish educational affairs
WILL it is expected, develop some op-
position on the part of the Octoberists,
who favor the measure as a whole.

SUGAR TRUST SHIFTS
BLAME TO DEAD CHIEF
American Refinery Co. Secretary
Testifies Late H. O. Have
meyer Father of System

NEW YORK. June 3.-Testimony
that led direct to the grave of Henry
o. Havemeyer, late head of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company, was
given on the witness stand today by
Charles r. Heike, secretary of the
company, who is charged with con-
spring to defraud the government on
underweights of sugar.
Heike's defense opened today and his
counsel tried to shift all responsibility
for the conduct of the company's af-
fairs on it's late president. Heike's
story put the responsibility up to his
dead chief direct.
George S. Graham, who made the
opening address for Heike, said he re-
gretted bringing discredit to a man
now dead, but circumstances of the
case demanded it. Heike, he said, was
at a period in life when prison sem
tence, even if short, would mean life
term.
On taking the stand, Heike imme-
diately put responsibility for practi-
.cally all his acts up to Havemeyer,
saying the latter had been in direct
control of the Williamsburg refinery,
Time and again in explaining his bus
mess dealings, he declared he had acted
"at the direction of Mr.. Havemeyer.
1t also was brought out by letter
written by Havemeyer that Heike had
called Havemeyer's attention to the
"liberality' of sugar weighers. He de-
MED any knowledge of the tricky
scales on the docks, and said he did
not even know the company had scales
there. but thought they belonged to
the government.
