Another Wilson Recruit,

New Orleans States: The declara-
ton of Louis D. Brandeis for Wood
row Wilson as president doubtless
caused quite a stir at the headquar-
tiers Of the Bull Moose party. 1t is
true that the Boston attorney never
belonged to the Roosevelt kitchen
cabinet, but as the uncompromising
antagonist of Ballinger, the faithful
defender of Pinchot and the cour-
ageous opponent of increased rail
road charges, he made record that
even Roosevelt can not question.
He comes out squarely for the
candidate who is the real represen-
tative of progressiveness and a Sc
rious stumbling block in the way of
the third termer. The reasons: Mr..
Brandeis gives for his action: are
that Woodrow Wilson us thorough
" democratic in spirit" and "recog
nizes that all of the people are en-
titled to equal opportunities

CRAZED BY DRUGS.
Negro on Rampage Killed Four Be
fore He Was Shot Dead.

Tampa, Fla, July 16.-Bob Harris,
crazy negro, started out on ram
page here today, killed four persons,
wounded another, and himself was
slain by policemen after a siege in
which gasoline was used to burn
him out of a house. He was insane
from drugs.
He first went to the house of a
woman and killed her and a man he
found there. He then went to an
other house and fired ON woman
with baby. The former was slain.
On his way out he shot another ne
gress, Virginia Simpkins, who died
this afternoon, and a white police
man named Riggs.
He took refuge in the Simpkins
Woman's house, where he lived, and
barricaded the doors and windows.
Being plentifully supplied with car
tridges, he kept large force of po-
licemen at bay, and was dislodged
only after being smoked out of one
room. The house then was set on
fire with gasoline. When he made q
dash for liberty he was shot and
killed.

che Wisdom of Governor Osborn.

ihe Wisdom of Governor Osborn.
The New Orleans States observes
that the most sensible protest
against the organization and recog-
milton of a third party is Governor
Charles S. Osborn of Michigan, a
progressive Republican. He has is
sued a statement advising Republi-
cans to desist from identifying
themselves with the proposed new
party of ''malcontents,' as he cells
them, and urges the progressives
who are dissatisfied with Mr.. Taft
as candidate, and the Republicans
as well, to cast their votes for Will
son, for by so doing they will get
what they desire, and be better on.
There is no reason to doubt that,
in making this statement, Governor
Osborn voiced the sentiments of the
best elements of the Republican and
Democratic voters. It is obvious that
he realizes that for years the Re-
publican party has been gradually
appropriating all the principles that
in the past distinguished the party
of jefferson aRd Jackson.
But afser stealing these princi
piles, the Republican leaders did not
know what to do with them, and
now the real party of the people,
strong and regenerated, comes for
ward again and asks for the conf
dence and support of the voters.
Governor Osborn is impressed by
the logic of the situation, an9 he
says Republicans are justified in vot-
ing for Woodrow Wilson because he
represents the best that is in Amer
lean politics.

EVIL OF IDLE GOSSIP

It is one of the foibles of humanity to
believe and carry evil report. It may be
one manifestation Of the selfshness Of the
race, for q wise man who lived centuries
ago said that Love tbinketh no evil. I"
The wagging tongue is dangerous wea-
pom aud two-edged one, since it brings
woe to its owner as well as its victim.
Idle gossip breeds many kinds of i'll con-
sequences, Jet bow common a fault it is
with most of us. The law sets Us good
example in presuming every man arraig-
ned for wrong to be innocent until proved
guilty and it gives him the benefit Of
every doubt, convicting him only upon
the most conclusive evidence. So indi-
yiduals in their private social intercourse
should prefer to believe good of each
one rather than evil. They could do we'll
to adopt the maxium OF law, either of the
doctrine of thinking no evil or the statue
of holding eveTJ man inuocert until
proved guilty. Such precept put in
practice would tend to offset the evil Of
idle gossip. 1t is always possible to hear
bad things of good men but no good can
come of repeating them. The laws of
God forbid ''false witness against the
neighbor.

Our Growing Cotton Industry

The great expansion of the cotton in
dustry in the United States has been a
big boon to American labor. From 1880
to 1910 the nun. Der OF workers incrs ased
from 122, 600 to s7S, 600, the total yearly
wages from S2S, ,OO0, 900 to 1892, ,OOc, 900,
the wages per year from S196 to $3.50. But
the table of comparative wages paid in
England and the United States shows
best how protection helps the worker.
The figures are taken from the inyesti-
gations of the tariff board Placing the
wages in the cotton industry in the United
Kingdom at 100. the wages in our South
ern States range from 1913 to ITO and in
Northern States 1876 to 2S3. In the United
States the proportion Of women and
ehildren employed has been constantly
decreasing and the number Of men en-
ployed as steadily advancing. In the
British industry just the reverse has been
the case. and there are now employed all
most twice as many women there as here.
