The Dubuque Telegraph-Herald,
democratic, says the veto of the
wool bill by President Taft is a re-
fusal to compensate the farmer for
the protection taken from him. Such
papers as the Telegraph-Herald have
claimed for years that the farmer
had no protection. II that is true,
and the Freeman-Tribune believes
it is, the farmer will have nothing
taken from him. The wool schedule
should be reduced on general prin-
ciples. 1t is higher than necessary,
but there is nothing in the claim
that the farmers are entitled to a
reduction because OF anything they
will lose by taking the tariff from
farm staples. Senator Dolliyer once
said that the only excuse for tariff
on corn. wheat, ETC., was for cam
paign purposes. It really amounted
to nothing as factor in affecting
prices.

the people of the west hang onto ths
prejudices they formed against taft
during the first year of his adminis-
ltration. The president seems to be
making it as hard as he can for pro-
gressives to support him and without
the progressive vote he will not
carry a state in the west.
Your Uncle Samuel is something
of hypocrite. Ile defs not permit

number of people-liberal minded
people at that-that the United
States government ought to find
some other method Of disposing of

ed. They are valued at from 25'

the Journal concludes that LaFol-
lette cannot. be nominated and could
not be elected If nominated. It also
fears that Taft would be defeated
at the polls. "This being true. why
are not people justified in demand
ing new candidate?" asks the
Journal. What is the use OF max
ing fight to nominate either Taft
or LaFollette under present circum-
stances? There are men in the re-
publican party, who il nominated
could at least stand chance to
win. We believe that If Senator
Do1liyer were alive he could be elect
ed. He being dead we must turn to
some other man. Ex-Governor
Hughes. now Judge of the supreme
court; would come pretty close to
gathering the factions together and
leading them to victory. Senator
Root would not be as strong in the
west as Hughes. but would still

Enforcing the Law.

Christian Appeal.
He is not wise man who takes
newspapers for his Sole counsellor and
shapes his conduct accordingly.
During the last primary election the
newspapers charged that Gov. Blease
was the candidate of the liquor eIe-
ment, that a corruption fund was being
used to secure his election and that if
elected he would flood the State with
liquor. SO
Gov. Blease was elected and those
men who acted upon the statements
made by the newspapers and arranged
to peddle liquor find that they are up
against a governor who is enforcing
the law and therefore pressing them
hard. They have been rnisled and are
hard hit
|. The soft drink vendors who have
sought to slip through real beer and
other Intoxicating drinks have 5awak-
ed to the facts that the present COVER
nor has. a mighty keen eye and sees
through every device for evading the
law. :
The wall which has gone up from
this lawless. element is sometimes pa
thetic, sometimes defiant and threat
ening, but the governor is unmoyed by
either. =, -, ...+... .:eer>ts,/ ~
If Gov. Blease is a liquor man, as
the papers have charged, the prohibi-
tionists have much to be thankful for
they have made a fortunate ex-
change.

THE LAURENSVILLE HERALD.

The old order changeth. The Laur-
~ensville Herald, following the death
,;of the lamented Col. Thomas B. Crews,
has passed out of the hands of his
family. We had learned to look upon
the Herald as a. part of Col. Crews
and upon Col. Crews as a. part of the
Herald-and We knew Col. Crews as
q gentleman of the old school, a man
who loved his newspaper work and
who loved the people whom his news
paper served, and we knew him as a
man whose love for his State was evil
denced by his unfinching courage in
his devotion to the people. of South
Carolina in days of war and in days of
peace, and in days of an almost veri-
table Gethsemane through the like
unto which few, and none but those
of heroic mould, have been called to
pass and have come out stronger.
We are glad that the Herald has
gone into good hands. Mr.. W. L. Tay-
>lor has been connected with the Laur-
ems Adve~ User, which is an excellent
newspaper, and he has done some ex-
cellent work in the Advertiser Office,
and as correspondent for daily news
papers. He is a thorough newspaper
man, and takes i great deal of pride
in newspaper work. Mr. B. Y. Gull

tional work, and has good talents for

WHICH mas DUrCudSSu II.
Under the new management we eX-
pect to see the old Herald continue to
succeed abundantly in good works.
In this connection we desire to
print the valedictory of the heirs Of
the lanented Col. Crews:
Owing to circumstances over
which we had no control, the 1laur-
ansville Herald has passed out of our
hands as the heirs of the late Col! T.
B. Crews, into the possession and
control of joint-stock company COM
posed of some Of our leading and most
progressive citizens.
For forty years the writer has been
connected with the publication of the
paper, a part of which time two broth
ers were his associates, and the
friends we have made-the patrons of
the Herald-we now turn over to our
successors, in the hope that they will
continue to give the paper that loyal
support which they have accorded it
for so many years. The gentlemen
composing the publishing company Of
the Herald are ali gentlemen Of PRO
gressive ideas, loyal to Their county
and State, and no means will be SPAR
ed to make the Herald one of the best
family papers in the State.
I'm truth, It's sad parting, On our
part, to have to give up the old Her
aid, but such is life. The paper has
weathered many a financial storm
that the public knew not of, but each
recurring week would emerge from
the breakers with cheerful face,
ready for new undertakings and re-
sponsibilities, nor grumbled at cond1-
tons. Others welfare glory and am
bition, rather than our own, is the
price of our sacrifice, and now we
bow to the inevitable, having fought
the good fight for our honest conVic-
tions, and with good will to all and
best wishes for our successors, and
a. sad farewell to those of the Old
Guard who remained ever faithful to
us, We say adieu, although
