Coy. Wilson has

it. Gov. Wilson has proven
himself to be a man capable OF
leadership and worthy of trust
in public affairs. His only han
dicap is that he is a Southern
man. This may weaken his
chances in some of the Northern
states, but we believe he can be
elected unless there is a great
change in tbs political atmos-
phere before the election.
AS to Speaker Clarke, the
same objection confronts him,
i. e., he is too far South. He
has proven that in statecraft he
is equal to any of them. But it
has been suggested that he is
too friendly with the corpora
tions. It.should not be oblec-
tionable for a man to be friend
ly with the corporations, Ind
this should not weigh against
him unless ihsee>is SO wrapped up
in them that he would submit to
tneir control. This /, where the
rub comes. It is impossible for
the people to know how a nan
will be Influenced by corporate
wealth, and therefore not many
are willing to vote for a man
connected with corporations.
air. Underwood will not be Sc
riously considered. While he is
a brilliant man and would fill
the office with distinction, he is
too much of a Southern gentle
man to be president.
Col. Bryan is being mentloneo
as a probable candidate, and no
denial is made that he is not
strong Intellectually, morally
and politically, but as we do not
believe he can win, we hope he
will not enter the race, He has
met defeat three times, and it
would be party suicide to put
him forward again.
But whoever may be the DEM
ocratic standard bearer this
year, we confidentially expect a
sweeping victory.

Democratic Prospects

The present outlook for
Democratic president in the ap.
preaching election is very en-.
couraging. The leaders Of the
| party have held the reins very
steady and made some telling
political strokes during the past
eighteen months. The most
prominently spoken of in the
Democratic ranks are Coy. Jud-
son Harmon, of OHIO; Gov. Will
son, of New Jersey; Speaker
Champ Clark. of Missouri; Con-
gresham Underwood, of Ala
bama; aid Col. W. J. Bryan, of
Nebraska. Of these five. Har-
mon and Wilson seem to be the
favorites at present. Both of
these are strong men, and eth
er would make a good Demo
cratic executive.
Gov. Harmon is very popular
in Ohio, and, between he and
Pres. Taft, would very likely
carry that state, Ohio being the
home of both. Since he has
been governor he has made
some very striking changes in
the administration of the public
affairs of that state, and has
brought about reforms which
have astonished his foes and de-
lighted his friends. He is a
strong man, and would proba-
bly, be elected by a larger vote
than any man the Democrats
could nominate, yet he has some
things against him that are
not compatible with a certain
element of the party. 1t has
been limited that he is in sympa-
thy with the liquor interests.
and is being backed and pushed
and heartily supported by the
distillers and brewers organiza-
tions. This statement is not
given with knowledge of facts,
but is only a matter of rumor
How much truth there is in it.,
we do not know and do not pre-
tend to say, but this should be
one of the vital principles of the
party.
Gov. Wilson seems to be the
choice of the South. While now
governor Of a Northern state, he
is a Southern man by birth and
training; knows conditions here
will be in hearty accord with
every movement for our ad-
vancement, He did what few
men could have done when he
carried the rock-rib 1ed Republi-
can state of New jersey AGAINST

For Our Representatives

Your attention is directed 70
certain changes and modihca-
tions needed in some of our laws
The marriage license law
should be changed so as to give
the officer issuing the license at
least s1.OO for his trouble,
The school law needs many
changes, but one in particular
should have speedy attention.
and that is, to so amend it that
transfers of pupils from one dis
trict to another cannot be made
without the concurrence Of a
majority Of both sets Of trustees
Our road law should be
changed so as to require the
payment of 50 a year by each
person subject to road duty
There should not be any altern-
ative, but should be levied and
collected just like the poll tax.
Our country schools should be
better provided for. We need a
compulsory educational system
with certain restrictions and linn
itations, and sufficient funds to
keep every school open at least
eight months in the year.
Hold the reins tight over the
institutions of higher learning.
We are already top-heavy with
them, and if they should be Civ
ea ffa'ii sway, would drain the
treasury.

taxes can,be reduced. With Tie Tie

gloomy outlook. for the farmers,
we need to practice economy.
Cut expenses and reduce. the
taxes, and the people will call
you blessed.

GOV. WEST TRUSTS cONVIcTS

1.-THE only honor lacking in the aver
age criminal is that which is wrenched
from him by incivility, distrust and
inhumanity. Extend 10 a convict the
courtesy, confidence and trust due him
as a mar and he will respond with
more honor than the average person
who has never seen the bars, the dun
geon or the dismal gray walls of a
penitentiary."
Basing his action on this bit of
philosophy, Gov. Oswald West of Ore
gon recently threw open the barred
doors of the Oregon state p~enitentiary
and turned more than 200 convicts out
into the inviting forests and fields to
serve the remainder of their terms
without guards, stripes, chains or
stoekades.
With one sweep the dungeon, the
dark cell, the striped suits, the ball
and chain and the gallows were wiped
out as unnecessary parts Of the insti-
tuition and in their stead was estab-

SULTAN A MEDIATIZED RULER

On March 80, France inaugurated a
change in her political dealings with
Morocco, by the signing of a treaty
with the Sultan, Mulia-Abd-el-Hafid,
establishing a French protectorate.
France has had much experience in
the government of the North African
countries, which line the Mediterran-
can from Tripoli to the Atlantic ocean,
and the decision to leave the govern
ment nominally in native hands is a
wise one. 1t is evidently based on the
success of her peaceful conquest Of
Tun1s where the e%xternals of Arab
rule have been preserved. In Algeria,
IN the other hand, where the admin
~istration is directly and openly
French, her domination aroused the
bitter jealousy and hostility of the
natives who saw in the elimination of
their native rulers a threatened sub.
version of the Mahommedan religion,
with the result that France has had
to maintain her footing by rigorous
military rule. Mulia Ha1d, the pres.
Deco, is known to his subjects as the
thirty-sixth lineal descendant of Ali,
ahOmet. He revOlted against his hr0th.
