"How times do change" excls

"How times do change" exclaims
the Columbus Safeguard. A year ago
last spring a farmer living in this
county, whom we valued as one of
our best friends, quit taking the Safe
guard because we criticised the po-
litical conduct of one A. B. Cummins.
Now he is mad as hops at Cummins
because he is aware that the senior
senator is to blame more than any
other one man for the Canadian rec
iprocity bill being taken up and
passed. Cummins fought the bill
in the senate because he feared the
wrath of his former farmer friends
would displace him at the expiration
of his present term of office, but he
was one of the original boosters for
free trade relations with Canada and
even the esteemed Register and Lead
er refuses to help hold him while he
is made to take some of his own
medicine"

THEY WOULD DIVIDE TEXAS.

Secession is not dead in Texas,
but it is destined to get jolt that VIII
put it to sleep for time. Iexas
voted against statewide prohlDltloh
a few days ago, and now those VINO
were defeated in the decidedly bitter
scrimmage are thinking OF starting
a campaign for the division OF the
state, SO that those who are for pro-
hibition will have the north part OF
the state for their very own, and
those who are against 1t can possess
the south part.
There is no constitutional obstruc-
ton to the division of Texas, but un-
less there has been wrought by the
contest over the excise question a
tremendous change in sentiment,
there is a popular prejudice against
division that is more binding and
forceful than could be any speclhc
constitutional inhibition.
There have been proposals heard
before for the division of Texas, but
they did not get to first base. Per-
haps the latest one, aside from the
tentative movement now forming,
came from Hetty Green's son. II
was almost twenty years ago that
Hetty's boy went to Texas to manage
a railroad in which the mother was
largely interested. He had some
budding political ambition, and in
fostering it he conceived the idea
that it would inure to his success II
the state were to be divided, as II
would create new positions into one
of which he might be able to slip.
But as soon as it became known
that he proposed a division OF Texas
the political prospects of Hetty's SOL
went glimmering, and from chat day
to this he has never been given ever
a look-in where political cohorts were
assembled.
Texas has history to be proud of
apart from it's participation in the
sisterhood of states. The history
was being made even before the New
England pioneers were laying the
foundations of the tremendous struc
q ture that Uncle Sam has reared. One
who goes to Texas learns much Of
American history with which he prob
ably has never been familiar. Anc
the people of Texas are proud OF tina
history 1t is reflected in the sturdy
race of giants in broad-brimmed hats
which the pioneers of the old Texas
republic have reared. The very sug
gestion of division of the state hal
been looked upon as the most out
rageous sacrilege. Secession from
the union was not repulsive to mos
Texans. The Lone Star state wa
part of the south and it's sympathie
were inspired by location, environ
ment and kinship. But secession
from the state and it's history is al
altogether intolerable thought anon!
the true Texans, and those who pro
pose it are quite sure to injure rattle
than promote any cause which the,
may espouse.-St. Joe Observer.

On September 18th Maine will vote
on the question of constitutional
prohibition. After forty years ex-
perience with prohibition the state
went democratic two years ago, the
democrats promising to re-submit
the question to the people. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the law has
been failure. 1t has not prevented
the sale of liquors any where and in
the large cities the law is openly vio-
lated. The contest is a hot one. The
advocates of prohibition are very ac-
tive and the state is full of prohibit
ton stump orators from every Sec
ton of the United States and also
from England Of course both sides
are now claiming a victory, but the
facts are that neither side knows
very much about how the vote will
go,

issue by 1912 is regarded as practl-
cally certain by those who are look
ing ahead. Wickersham has per-
mitted Taft to be blotted and be-
smirched in the Pinchot and other
matters. Wickersham' was on the
side of Ballinger against Pinchot,
just as he is at present against DR..
Wiley. Developments at the hear
ing before the Stanley steel commit
tee, against the United States Steel
corporation (trust) contain many
fresh evidences that Wickersham ex-
emplified the alliance between the
republican party and the capitalists
and monopolists. The sequence of
all this will be that Taft will get
many a whack over Wickersham's
shoulder.
Competition or Trusts! Which?
When the Sherman law was passed
legislation was directed toward the
prohibition or destruction OF monop-
olistic combinations. Roosevelt,
Taft, and Wickersham have not the
idea of trust dissolution. They ad-
vocate instead that the existence OF
the trusts be recognized and legal
lied, but that their greed be curbed
by government regulation. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the major
ity of the people are willing to con-
TESS that the competitive system is
obsolete; to abandon system which
affords free rein for Individual en-
terprise, and to establish in it's place
a centralized government.

THE KNACK OF ACCOMPLISH
NIENT.

The knack of accomplishment is
difficult to analyze but mighty easy
to recognize. 1t is a quality resid-
ing in men and organizations by viz
tue of which things get done. The
Comic Blackstone declared that
three things were necessary to mar
riage: that the parties be willing.
that they be able, and that they do.
1t is this third thing which so mys-
teriously lacks in the case of many
workers who seem to possess both
the other requisites.
The knack of accomplishment re-
sides in the Democratic majority in
the House of Representatives; very
recently it has spread by contagion
to the Democrats minority in the
Senate, enabling them, by making
certain not unreasonable concessions,
to secure a majority by forming a
coalition with the most progressive
and democratic wing of the republic
can erstwhile majority.
For years the Democrats counted
harmonious and effective action
among the lost arts They tried con-
cessions to conservatives; they pain
fully and conscientiously elaborated
plans for securing harmony and CO.
operation. All failed. The Dem
ocracy was, during these years, de-
MED vote of confidence by the ma
tion at large. The republicans had the
knack of cooperation; they were
practiced in the turn of the hand that
gets things done. Their heavy ma
jorities indicated the high value
which practical world sets on this
possession.
Prophecies of democratic victory
in the national elections of 1912 are
las common today as remarks upon
the weather. Speaker Clark, Chair
- man Underwood and the democratic
leaders in the senate-familar pres
ences in our national life, and men
who stand today for exactly those
. things they stood for yesterday
have acquired the knack of getting
results. In the same time the con-
verse process has been at work
among the republicans. They have
Stost the knack of achievement, the
fine art of common action, the in
stinct of victory.
There is an old phrase about VIC
tory "perched on the banners" of an
advancing host. It has profound
justification in the course of history.
There is something more in victory
thing of the spirit, an impalpable, in
tangible essence, as invisible and yet
as real as the Hertzian wave. And
that is with the national democracy
today.-St. Louis Republic.

DR.. AKED READY
TO QUIT NEW YORK
High Hopes Turned to Ashes,
He Tells Practitioners.

New York. March 5.-Dr. Charles F.
Aked told his parishioners of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church this morning that
his high hopes when he left Pembroke
Chapel. in Liverpool. four years ago to
become John d. Rockefeller's pastor had
turned to ashes, and unless some MEM
Der of his congregation can give him a
reason why he should remain pastor of
the New York church he will accept a
call from the First Congregational
Church, of san Francisco. The final de-
cision, he said, must be made within two
weeks
The general tone of DR.. Aked's state
ment, which followed the regular Sun
day morning sermon, left little doubt
that he will accept the call from the Pa
Cifc Coast. The failure of his plans for
big institutional church and his pres
ent "meager ministry" were set out in
his statement He can discover only
reasons why he should go.
so far as We can see to-day, there
is no future for this church and for my
minis try" he said.
Every effort. however. will be made on
the part of the trustees to hold DR.. Aked
here. \ special meeting will be held
within a day or two and the men respon-
sible for the financial management of
the church will look for reason CO.
gent enough to retain their pastor.
we all agree that DR.. Aked is the
finest preacher in New York" said Trus-
tee Frank L. Fremont, and we will
make another effort to satisfy his ambi-
tons. Whether or not We can build the
grand church he desires must depend on
the support of the congregation"

That the proper study, cultivation, and
extension among the people of music
and song has always constituted a most
potent factor for the advancement of
civilization and culture among all ma
lions, was the declaration made by John
Wischhusen, president of the Arion Ge-
sangverein at the celebration of the twen-
ty-sixth anniversary of this society,
which took place at it's hall last night
in the presence of a large gathering of
members and friends.
Mr.. Wischhusen advocated that more
time be devoted in public and other
schools for the study of song and music,
that thereby patriotism would be fos-
tered and that it would also engender
higher thoughts and ideals
Advocates Memorial.
The muses. of song and music having
contributed their share toward the up
lifting of humanity everywhere, Mr..
Wischhusen advocated that a fitting me-
mortal be erected in this city symbolic of
song and music and kindred arts He
deplored that there is not a hall in Wash
ington suitable for concerts and musical
productions on a large scale and sug-
gested that the numerous choral, musical,
and singing organizations combine and
bring about the erection OF a great tenn
pie of music and song
a most pleasant innovation in the regu-
lar musical programme of the Arions was
the appearance last night of the Nordica
Mandolin and Guitar Club, under the
direction of Prof. W. T. Holt The num-
bers of this well-known organization were
rendered with rare artistic finish and were
