Those Wicked Democrats.

The New York Sun exposes q hid
eous conspiracy among the wicked
Democrats in Congress to do moth
ing to spoil the chance OF electing
President" and to leave nothing
undone to promote the success OF
their party in the election next year. >
TO this despica BILE end they are go
ing to put revision up to President
Taft and the Republican Senate, and
in way that makes cooperation
impossible; and then they propose to
90 tc the country and say, We have
done our best to revise the tariff,
but we have failed because We do
no, control the Government
The New York World says this
miserable plot is enough to raise
soose-pimples on the skin of every
Republican patriot, but it can be
thwarted. Suppose Mr.. Taft and the
Republican Senate were to allow
these godforsaken Democrats to
have their own way about tariff re-
vision. If the revision were unsat-
isfactory to the country the blame
could be thrown upon the Democrat
ic party. which would be sternly re-
buked at the polls in 1912. If 1t
were satisfactory the Republicans
would share in the glory. We find
nothing in this Democratic program
OF tariff revision which makes CO.
operation impossible on the part OF
Republicans who sincerely desire to
eliminate the abuses OF the Payne
Aldrich schedules.

Teddy to Come Again.

According to the Washington
Times plans are under way for the
denomination of Teddy Roosevelt for
the presidency next year. 1t is
claimed that he will be backed by
the 1nsurgent Republicans and many
OF the Regulars also. The Times
goes on 10 say that it is being frank
ly admitted by leading Republicans
thatRoosevelt is the only Republican
who can prevent the election OF a
Democratic President next year. The
split that has continued to widen IN
the ranks of the party, despite the
results of the November elections,
is regarded as unbridgeao!e by
any leader OF either faction now
in harness. and it is argued oy The
political commentator of The Times
that this task can be performed by
Mr.. Roosevelt. The Spartanburg
Herald believes that Teddy is the
only man in the Republican party
who can stand for everything that is
regarded as essential by both the
Progressives and the Regular Repub-
licans. His course in the past has
shown that he would find this sort
Of "straddling" TO be mere child S
play. And We have no doubt that
he can straddle still further, and not
only stand for all that the two fac
tions of the Republican party hold
dear, but he can stand on these two
platforms and at the same time per-
suade lot of people that be is firm
" planted on all the essential planks
of the Democratic platform.

Makes Bad Break.

The Spartanburg Herald thinks
that former Secretary OF the Treas
ury, Leslie M. Shaw, will have to
learn to control himself little bet
ter if he expects to continue to re-
ceiye the invitations to make speeches
to alumni associations. The fact that
the other night at such gathering
in New York, Mr.. Shaw saw ut TO
denounce the so-called Progressive =
tendencies in politics at the present
time, and in the course OF his re-
marks to denounce the course OF
Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer-
sev. fully warrants the Herald in
SAYING what it does. The rebuke Nj.
Shaw got from those present Will
never be forgotten by him. After
denouncing Gov. Wilson's course,
Shaw mentioned the Jersey execu-
tive's doings, the diners cheered Gov.
Wilson. with such shouts as, Will
son will be our next President. and
the like. Mr.. Shaw utterly DISCUS
ed with the turn of affairs sat down.
and. so far as the newspaper reports
indicate, he never did finish his
speech. He was very sore'' over the
action of the diners, whose guest Of
honor he was. But, as the Herald
says, Mr.. Shaw should have known
better than to speak disparingly Of
any prominent character at a non
partisan gathering. such as an alum
nj dinner necessarily is, and it seems
that he has no one but himself to
blame for the turn that was taken in
the evenings proceedings.

PILLACE AND MURDER
KILLS TWO HUNDRED
REBELS IN ONE CITY.
Chinese Brigands Have Sacked Half
Dozen Important Towns - The
Dead Lie Cnburied in the Streets.

A dispatch from Hong Kong says
rebellion, brigsndage and anarchy
are stalking through the western half
of kwang Tung province. The 10y
al troops are fighting desperately to
crush the uprising, the seriousness OF
which is revealed in further dispatch
es from Canton.
Wu Sum, the Chinese who was ed
ucated in Japan, is the leader of the
revolt against the .Manchu dynasty.
The brigand chiey, LUX, Of Shuntak,
is at the head Of horde of outlaws
whose object is robbery and murder.
These com bined forces have thrown
themselves with fanatical disregard
of their own lives against the troops
and since the first outbreak Thursday
night much blood has been shed. Sc
dition is rife among certain OF the
troops and it is feared that the dis
affected soldiers will desert their Of
6cers if the revolters appear to have
the upper hand.
Official advice and the refugees ar
riring from Canton confirm the sinis-
ter reports. Bodies Of the slain lie
in the streets Of the city. Famine
prices are asked for foodstugs and
the shops generally are closed. In
the panic there have been few at
tempts to bury the dead and the
stencil from decomposed bodies fills
the air.
Retreating to the countryside, the
rerolutionists attacked and captured
Sam Shut, 80 miles west of Canton,
and murdered the prefect. The troops
we're put to fight and the rebels
moved on to Wen Chow and Woo
Chow, both of which towns they took
slight resistance.
Tuk's brigands following in their
wake looted the shops Of the three
towns. The triumphant sweep OF
the revolutionaries continued west.
ward along the West river and re-
ports from that district say that the
movement is spreading and the revo'
lutionists are numbering and pillig,
ing in other places.
While the movement to the west
was being directed by WI Sum, LUX
led personally a force to the north
and seized the market at Chunglok
20 miles north Of Canton.
Then he made wide detour tc
the west of Canton and fell upon
Fatshau, a town, Is miles south
west. Here he first destroyed the
palace Of the assistant magistrate
and then turned the town over te
his followers to be looted.
The battle was hard fought one
the imperial troops giving battle al
Tung Shi bridge. Thirty-seven sol.
diers were killed before the troops
fell back. Advices state that Shu:
Hung, on the West river, has fallen
to the revolutionists, who murdered
the project.

4 Quality That Needs Cultivating.

The Santa Fe railroad has done a
good thing in issuing circular en-
icining its conductors and other Of
fcials 10 exercise courtesy toward
passengers. Not that the subordi-
nate officials of that road are sim
ners above others in their demeanor
toward the public. AS a rule the
men employed in responsible posi-
tions on all the railroads are con-
siderate and obliging. yet there IS
room for improvement, not only on
railroad and steamboat lines, but also
in all concerns where employees come
into contact with the public. In the
police force of some Of our cities
there is oftentimes painful lack
of civility, to say nothing OF cour-
tesy.
It is admitted that the patience OF
many officials is often sorely tried by
the foolish questions frequently put
to them and by the fussiness which
many people show. At the same
time it must be remembered that
what seem foolish questions to the
Initiated do not seem foolish to the
people putting them. 1t would be
well for every public servant in dis
charging his duties to bear in mind
that it is well to put oneself in the
other persons place. This would re-
suit in a greater forbearance and
courtesy in dealing with others.
If by courtesy is meant the CIV
ing to others what is their due and
giving it in kindly spirit. then it IS
a quality which may well be practic-
ed more widely than at present. In
the mad rush that characterizes this
age many people are not sufficiently
considerate of the rights and feelings
of others. There is too frequently
brusuuesness of speech and manner
which hurts. The old fashioned
courtesy of our forefathers may have
been a little too elaborate, but some
return of 1t would be welcome.

ELEPHANT KILLS TRAINER.
Hundreds Of People Witness the
eHorrible Tragedy.

Hundreds. of persons yesterday
saw an infuriated elephant hurl It's
trainer into the air and then after
crushing him with Its weight, re-
peatedly piece the body with its
tusks. =
The tragedy came while James
Hildebrand, the trainer, was endear-
oring to put the animal, which be-
longed to wild west show, into q
car, Hildebrand was adjusting the
chains which bound the elephant to
it's mate.
Without warning the elephant be-
came enraged and, wrapping its
trunk around the trainers body, lift
ed him in the air, and then dashed
him to the ground. 1t is believed
ne was instantly killed.
With its rage still unsatished
the elephant began kneading the
trainers body with its forefeet.
Then it dragged the body 20 feet
along the rairoad tracks in the yard
and repeatedly thrust its tusks into
it.
Attaches of the show ran to the
rescue with pitchforks and drove the.
elephant frcm it's victim. 1t is not
subdued until its sides were stream
ing with blood from the goads.
Immediately after the tragedy the
elephant was shot. Hildebrand had
been the trainer for years, and fre-
quently slept beside the elephant.
