"Never in the history of the world"
says President Taft, has there been
such equality of opportunity as in these
United States, and it has been secured
by upholding as sacred the rights Of
individual liberty and the rights Of
private property in the guarantees Of
the federal and state constitutions"
Correct. And inasmuch as the people
earnestly desire the full restoration
and preservation of these conditions
they are preparing to re-instate in
office the party that has always stood
for them-the only national and only
genuinely democratic party in the
the land. Unfortunately for the Pres

COTTON MARKET

Aside from loss of twenty points
in the cotton futures market yester-
day there was little of interest mark
ing the session here. The slump in
futures was unexpected by the talent
Lore and caused a loss in values Ci
nearly quarter cent generally, al
though prices locally were not affected
thereby to any extent. In the Amer
icus market 10 IL cents is still paid
freely for the finer grades, with cor
responding prices for lower grades OF
the staple. Receipts for the day
were nominal only, due to bad wealth
err while total warehouse receipts
here to date are 44,910 bales.

The Macon News has done some
thinking of its own as to the cause OF
SO many young men turning out
badly. And it has reached this con-
clusion: The great sin that is COM
mitted against children is the lack of
discipline-of proper training-in
their plastic years. Parents make a
rlaything of them, fall down and
worship them, and yet society expects
of them when adult in years, but not
in intelligence, proper nerspect've'
of their relations to it. The wonder
is that any child that has been hum
ored in everything and denied nothing
should ever survive to become COOL
citizen"

The extreme type of so-callel
"Progressives," with their untrie
panaceas for public ills, are well char
acterized by President Taft as "polit-
ical emotionalists or neurotics, who
have lost the sense of proportion, that
clear and candid consideration of
their own weakness as a whole, and
that clear perception of the necessity
for checks upon hasty popular action
which made our people who fought
the revolution and who drafted the
federal constitution the greatest self
governing people that the world ever
knew"

Ex-senator Beveridge does not take
much stock in the chorus of congraf-
ulations over the alleged destruction
of the great trusts. He maintains
that: The oil and tobacco trusts are
more alive today than ever, because
they live under the express approval
of the courts, while not one wrong
which they inflicted on the people has
been ended. Though these might"
agencies of commerce have not been
hurt in their bad possibilities, the
smaller ones have been hurt in their
good possibilities. No two American
business men to-day can agree on the
mutual conduct of their affairs and be
absolutely sure that they are not law
breakers"
