The Indication-, are that this pro gram will have to h.< chang'd, aays the Savannah News, and that ts win the Republican eampatgn managers are worried The reports they are receiving from the West are that in order to atli up the Republican voters and get them to the polls, Mr Taft must tahe the stump It seems that there ta a great deal of apathy among the Republicans in that section They know, of comae, that Mr. Tall Is Mr ftnoarv -It s choice for president an o that he stands for Mr Roosevelt's policing hut the Roosevelt following In the Weal la largely personal, and these admirer* of Mr Rooseyett are uol disposed to gel enthusiastic over Mr, Taft alniplv because Mr Kooae velt want* him to be elected.

Printing a dally newspaper Is strenuous work under ordinary eondi lions. The lay reader will peruse Its eight, twelve or sixteen pages with out ever giving a thought to the Im mense amount of work rcijulred to present this collection of printed In formation to him. To gather and pre pare It In proper form and then to get It ready for printing and print It, requires a large force of workers, each of them with his or her allotted part of this work to do. When then, some extraordinary occasion arises which disorganises everything, even the layman can understand tlo difficulties under which the newspa per force labors. On Wednesday last the flood came upon the dly with unprecedented slid denness. The Herald was ready for the press, when the rising waters put a slop to everything except Ihe work of saving life and property from Im mediate destruction. On Thursday all day the city was under water, when nothing could be done Htiywhere ex eept to wait for the waters to fall On Friday, In the mud. and on the press of a Job office The Herald was printed, |n abbreviated, form, to ac commodate Itself to the press, but j carrying the story of the flood On Saturday the regulai afternoon paper) was printed, the Arid complete news paper printed In the etty alter ilv flood, and delivered to all auhserlb era, and thin was followed on Sunday morning with a Sunday edition of six teen page, which In Its make-up did not reveal a trace of the extraordinary difficulties under which the work was done. Yet this work was done with the entire office In confusion. From the first floor everything moveable had liein carried hurriedly to the upper stories, and scarcely anything was In Its right piano New steam boiler and gas connections required to be made, to overcome the absence of electric power, In the press-room only ih' worst of the mud had been removed, and the press pit was full of wstci which could not be taken out Notwithstanding all this, the Haiiirduy afternoon and Sunday morn ing Herald appeared 111 almost perfect and unabridged form. It Is a news paper feat which has rarely been equaled, |tnd of which The Herald and Augusta have Just reason to feel proud. ‘ l.lke Nelson's men at Trafalgar, In this trying emergency every man of The Herald force did his duty, with the splett result thst was achieved BUSINEB6 BOOMING IN THE RE TAIL DISTRICT. Y' atarday'a Hcrnld was crowded with the business announcements of the energetic, enterprising and patri i»it< business concern* of Augusta These announcements made mighty Interesting reading, for through them all was the Arm grasp of the sit mu urn now well tn hand and already Indications of work planned and tu process of execution. With such purpose and spirit shown l>> the business men of Augusta there is no doubt et the new and greater \uiMisih being an assured fact. You may he sure that the peopl • of Augusta will respond readily' to his progressive spirit on the part of the business Interests. On Saturday, one found iu the re tall district lhe store* that were ad vertised ready (or business and with attractive window displays, crowded with customers. The same thing was true today tu the retail district and as more ot the retailers get into commi* i-toii again, there is every pruapect of ! Augusta doing even a larger volume ot business dun ever before Augusta has Its work, a full portlou cut out for it, for the next few mouths, but work means business, aud Augus ta must lie prepared to handle the business Just aa Augusta is going tu do the work that is in front of her. DOWN TO WORK IN REAL EARN EBT. By this time the facts are well in hand Iu regard lo the situation that faces Augusta It Is one that calb for faithful, loyal, energetic ami con tlnuous work on the part ol the entire population of Augusta.

WORK OF THE RELIEF COM e'MITTEE.

THE PURE REGISTRATION LAW. Among the few general laws pass ed bv the last legislature which es caped the governor's veto there Is one which, if properly enforced, will In Its operation do more good in Its way than any of the rest. This is the law amending our registration laws. Yet strange to say, the valuo of this taw scema to be but little ap preciated in some auctions. Here the Gainesville Sentinel, for Instance, asks; The "pure registration" law passed the late legislature. Will som ( . one ktndly tell us what earthly good is to come from It? From this question It must he judg ed that the evil which thin law is designed to correct Is not yet ns ap parent in Gainesville as It is in other places. Under the eld taw a voter might register tip to within a few days of the election. As soon as can didates were entered in the race there was a scurrying to get their friend* registered. Appeals would be made to them to qualify by getting their names registered as voters. This was all right, but the efforts of can didates and those actively at work for them did not atop there. Vot ers would tell them that they eouid not register because tTielr taxes were unpaid, and a trade would be made whereby some one acting for a ran dldatc would pay the delinquent's , taxes, and often with the understand Ing of a subsequent cash considera tion, upon his pledge to vote for the ! candidate for whom this money was j apent. It waa the buying and se.l- Ing of votes, these men, registered by the payment of somebody else'a money, usually having no conviction, and as readily voting for on e can dldatc as another. To what extent this was being done was shown by I lh e artivlty in the registration ot- I flees, which a few days before the ! closing of the registration books would ' swarm, with heelers who brought in j floaters whose taxes they paid. A citizen who has so Utile eon vie ; tlon that he w ill not register until ' he Is paid to do so, sud then cast I hts ballot for the candidate out of ; whose campaign fund his taxes wi re paid to qualify hint to register, is not a good voter There at« Issues Involved In every election great is sues Tn Bom e of them ami they should not be settled by the ability of Opposing candidates to raise the largest ranipslgii fund, or hy the ques tlon of who eouid employ the most e*p< rt heelers to bring ,ln floater* without convictions. and otherwise tn different ss to the issues Involved. The new law requires that voters shall register by the end of March livery voter who ta a property ownor will have registered before that time, to evade the penalty imposed on tax defaulters. If for no other reason Kvery good cttUen who casts hts bal lot as a duly he owes the state and to promote Its best Interests ss he siM-s R, will also have registered, for it is no greater hardship to register in January or March than tt Is to register In May or August. One rea son wh» many good otttxeiia dc.ayad this duty under the old law whs be cause many m«*n habitually put off everything to the last moment, and If the last day of registration was tn March the\ would register then, in stead of the later date allowed theflt under th* old law Under either law all cßiiens who by reason of the Interest they take in public matter* arc really compctMit voters are rug latered. Under the new law only those vot era will fall to register who mutt be led to do so by personal appeal and a consideration of value w hich only a candidate or Interested party wtll supply. Th* ur* la* will raise the standard of eltltenshlp and tt will ckvae the 1 door hitherto moat open for the Die gitlmate Use of money tn determining the result of an election Strung* that i the Sentinel and other* like tt have j so tar Peru unable to she this.

Kvorybody rerrioraborß the captain ( t Koopenjck. that racy play of opera boiiffe in real life which convulsed the entire civilized world with laughter, «tnd which flliißtrated the wooden hcadttdneps of Gtennan militarism, un der Its systematic red tapeism gone to iced. A shoemaker conceived the daring plan of arresting nr entire ear riHon arid capturing Its military chest, and actually carried it out. The whole world laughed at the German army when the story became known. Wilhelm Y T olght, ihe cobbler-captain of Koepenick who was the hero of this exploit, was arrested, tried, con victe<f and sentenced to a term in prison. From tills he has Just been released, on a pardon granted him by % the emperor, after having served only one hair of his sentence. Kaiser Hill showed his good sense by issu ing this pardon to the man whose misdemeanor had resulted In no harm, but on the contrary was a mag nificent object lesson from which the Gorman army system will doubtless profit, even though it was made the laughing stock of the world. The cobbler it has made famous, showing again what advertising will do. On being released from prison he went to his sister's Ittle shop where ho Intended to make himself useful until he could get on his feet again. But little time he has had to attend to shop duties, for at once he was deluged with all manner of propositions. Dime muMeum manag ers were eager to make cantracts with him. and lecture bureaus were equally desirous to secure his ser vices. How highly these are valued, not for their merit for he is an un known and at best a doubtful quanti ty as a lecturer—hut on account of lhe advertising he hod received, is ; how n hy the fact that he has .bean abb already to make a contract for eight locturrr for which he is to re ceive $2,500.
