which it abolished. The Southern mas
ter had selfish interest, if no other
one, in keeping his chattel In good condi-
ton, in taking care of the children of the
slave, and of prolonging the life of the
slave
Under the slave-system established by the
Republican party, it is The white man who
IS the victim The master has no interest
IN the slave Et matters not to the master
whether the children of these slaves live, or
die. The longevity Of the slave does not
concern the master in the slightest degree.
When one of his slaves dies he does not
have to pay a thousand dollars to replace
him; he calls for volunteer white man to
take the vacant place, and the place is i'm
mediately filed.
Incredible as it may seem, the slave
owners Of the present day have become more
aggressive than ever. They not only de-
fend their right to compel their slaves to
york on the Sabbath DAY, but to labor
twenty four hours on stretch On the
other hand, they compel those of us who do
not own slaves, to kneel to them and to
pay for the necessares of life, whatever
prices the voracious greed of these masters
dictate.
We see that the leaders of this great party

should have been member of the Roman
Catholic priesthood
What Taft said to the Pope, and what the
Pope said to our President, Will probably
never be known. Few secrets escape from
the Vatican, and none from the watery grave
OF the great deep.
After Ma or Butt had lost his life on this
mission OF treason, of which he was ignorant.
and concerning which he had no option but
to obey orders, Mr. Taft put forth the state
nlent that Major Butt went abroad for his
health and not to bear a sealed and
secret letter to the Pope. I attach hereto
the exact cablegram that was sent forth from
the Vatican itself, after Major Butt had been
presented to the Pope, and had delivered to
him, the fatal letter, which was the direct,
immediate cause of the gallant officers
death:
"It has become known that Maj Archibald
Butt, President Taft's personal aide besides
bringing an autograph letter from the Amer
lean Chief Executive to the Pope, brought
credentials in the shape of three letters, adj
dressed to Cardinal Merry del Val, the Papal
Secretary of State; Cardinal Rampolla, his
predecessor in that office, and an American
prelate. All three were asked to arrange the
audience with the Pope.

conducted through ecclesiastical channels

THE political situation does not differ
greatly from that which existed in 1880.

country. The Southern STAKEHOLDER repre-
sented in Congress by the highest type Of
statesmen, was master Of the situation Al
though we'll within his Constitutional rights.
he became aggressive. at exactly the wrong
time, and in exactly the wrong way
The advice Of such men as Alexander Fl.
Stephens, Herschel V. Johnson, Benjamin H.
Hill and Sam Houston fell upon deaf ears.
The more radical element, led by Yancey,
Rhett, Wigfall and Robert Toombs soon
found itself at dagger's point with the
element led by Stephen A. Douglas, in the
West, and Herschel Y. johnson in the South.
The results are history. National conven-
lions went upon the rocks, great party
was broken up into fragments and victory
made impossible The recently born Re
publican party, with minority vote and a
moral issue, carried the day. The slave sy5-
tenn vanished, as part of the cataclysln
that resulted from the blunders and the
madness of Democratic leaders.
Almost without interruption, the Repub-
licans have been in power ever since the
Civil War It has created another system

President and an president railing at
each other in public like two frenzied fish
women. they are hurting at each other,
every epithet and every accusation. IF Presi-
dent Taft is the man Roosevelt SAYS he is,
ne ought to be in the penitentiary, instead
Of IN the White House IF ex-Presdent
Roosevelt is the man President Taft says be
IS, then Roosevelt should be on the changing
instead Of on the hustings. My own opinion
IS that each of these men has described the
other with great accuracy.
Then there is the La Toilette group, which
can never be reconcled with either Of the
two others. Therefore, we have, in the Re
publican party Of the present day, almost ex-
actly the same discord which divided the De
mocracy in 1860.
II Roosevelt should be nominated. neither
the Taft men nor the La Toilette men will
support him. If Taft should be nominated
Roosevelt and La Toilette will surely combat
hun. AS to La Toilette, he could not pos
slbly be nominated Therefore, unless the
party leaders can harmonic on some such
man as Hitchcock, the Republicans are
doomed; and with them will 90 their i'm

the former, land as for punctuation,

FOR RUNNING CLUB
John Raftery and William Burke Sep

Morning.

In the district court this morning,
John Raftery and William Burke, in
dicted for running club room in this

usual court trimmings, by Judge Bank,
which amount they paid.
Raftery and Burks were said to be
responsible for the North PoleA club
which had it's inception during the
Cook-Peary controversy over the dis
oovery of the North Pole. When first
arraigned before Judge Bank they
entered pleas of not guilty. Later
they substituted guilty pleas and the
fines this morning resulted.
