ed was carried in the coastwise trade
and would, under the free provision
of the Republican law. have paid no
tolls for the privilege of passing
through the canal, built at the ex-
pense of all the people.
The American people built the ca
nal with their own money They have
Il right to charge tolls for the mse
OF that canal. TO allow ship owners
TO use it free would be purely and
simply to give to them the benefit
OF taxes paid by all the people. 1t
would be as clear case Of graft as
II the shipping interests had donat-
ed the thousands OF dollars repre-
sented. by a direct appropriation OF
Congress.
One OF the significant things about
the situation is that in spite OF ali
the wild warnings OF the Hearst-la-
den newspapers of last spring as to
what dire consequences would follow
the repeal of the tolls exemption,
there is nothing but satisfaction In
the country over the operation OF the
tolls law-except among those who
have millions invested in ships which
have to pay the people for the use of
the peoples canal.

What Others Say
The Tennessee Affair,

The firing on the Tennessee, or n
launch OF the Tennessee, at Smyrna,
by the Turks. is an ugly incident but
one not likely to cause serious en-
barrassment to the United States.
While signs are abundant that Tur-
key scarcely has an orderly and re-
Sponsible government, 1t is to be ex-
pected that the Sultan will offer the
necessary reparation for the outra ge.
That the Turkish government DELHI
erately would seek war with tho
United States, or that Germany, a
power with which Turkey is allied. to
all practical purposes, in the present
war, would condone SO crazy a policy
is not to be thought of.
The United States would have moth
ing to gain I'M dignity by employing
precipitately severe measures against
country struggling under what is
little better than mob rule. so paci-
fic and early settlement OF the Ten
nessee affair may be looked for
Columbia State.

A PRAYING SOLDIER

"a dispatch relative to the arrival al
Ascot OF the body of Field Marshal
Id Roberts, who died rather sud-
denly at the headquarters of the brit
ish forces In France Last Saturday,
contains these wC.1r: "The body was
placed in the snail room in his resi-
dence in which the great soldier was
won't to conduct family prayers"
1t Is good to know that this great
British soldier was b, praying man.
Somehow 1t raises = in the estima-
ton OF the one pert,a ~ who is not SO

titanic carnival OF murder now rag
Ing in the European slaughter house
there was at least one who was given
to bending the knee before Hie who
hollis the millions OF earth In the hol-
low OF His hand.
In reading of this prayerful British
soldier one calls to mind the sublim-
ity. of character of "Stonewall" jack
son. who. 1t has been said, read his
Bible and prayed every night during
the fierce struggle between the sec-
tions. And one calls to mind the sweet

Why is 1t that Lee and jackson are

FROM sEPTUa.

If the farmers of this country, in
refusing to go to the polls and vote
In the recent general election, didn't
repudiate and condemn, the. National
Democratic administration for the
shameful treatment given them in
their trouble, then we are as blind
as three day old pup. and there's
no use to be whipping" the
devil around the stump" end deny
ing the fact. The common people did
not intend to endorse in the general
election what they themselves had
done in the primary. Now we are told
that the light vote was due to the
fact that the people were too busy
to go out and vote, yet up here at
the Five Forks box some of the man
ayers didn't even vote and some of
the voters were there with their reg
istration certificates and tax receipts
who wouldn't vote. Does that look
like they were too busy?
No, Mr.. Editor. the laboring peo-
pie of this country are getting tired
OF voting for men whose only interest
Is their own Internal rotten selfish
ness and they are going to quit 1t.
From now on we are going to vote
for measures and not for men, we
are going TO vote for those who will
best serve our interest regardless of
party affiliations.
Yes, and when some of our pres
ent Southern representatives in Con-
gress come before the people again
we are going to make them look as
sneaking as a dog that's guiped
down dozen or the, other fellows
eggs and has been caught In the act.

A Sensible President.

1t was a good thing that the White
House is occupied by president
who had enough self respect not to
let buck negro from Boston insult
him, without calling him down. One
thing easily leads to another. Mr..
Roosevelt, when president, forgetting
the Southern blood that is in his
veins and wishing to cater to the ne
gro voter, had Booker Washington to
dine with him in the White House.
This incident. no doubt. emboldenec.
the Boston darkey to take liberties
with President Wilson. The presi-
dent. while observing all the pro-
prieties Of the occasion, administered
such a rebuke to the colored gentle
man that like offense will never
take place again in the White House
Mr.. Roosevelt gained nothing by his
Alphonse and CASTOR act with Book
er, but on the contrary. hurt himself.

with approval all over the country
