The international conference at Shanghi, assembled with the object of putting a check upon the trade in opium and npon its indiscriminate use as r.n intoxicant, is very much akin to the widespread and system atic effort in the United States and some other countri< s to restrict the manufacture and sale ot intoxicating liquors.

A girl named plain “Mary” at her birth dropped the “r” when sbe grew up and became “Mi6S May.” As she began to shine in a social way she changed the “y’ to “e” and signed her letters “Mae.” Abont & year ago she was married, and now it’s plain “Ma.” There’s evolution.>s Villa Rica Star.

The memory of man runneth not to the contrary when the state en gaged in-line enterprise. Here’s hoping for better luck this time. And now representatives from the black republ c ofLiberia are in Washington supplicatory* Congress to add th«ir decadent country to the altruistic burdens that Uncle Sam is already staggering under. This is an absolute confession, aft er sixty years of experiment under favorable conditions, that the ne.. gro is incapable of self govern ment. Cougress, last week, passed the Bill regulating the interstate ship ment of liquor, which forbids the shipping of liquors, unless to bona fide consignors, and unless the package is plainly marked with the name of the consignee, and with the contents. C. O. D. Ship ments are positively forbidden. There can be no longer any doubt that the Taft inaugural parade will be a magnificent spectacle. Not less than twenty Governors are to be|in line, each accompanied by from ten to fifty of his staff colonels and majors. Since there are no more resplendent beings on this mandane sphere than the staff of ficers of a Governor, it mast follow that this feature of the parade will throw back the refulgeuce of the sun itsslf with something added. Nothing would so quickly attract the Southern people or so surely bold their respect as a disposition on tho part of Mr. Tatt to select as respra^entatives of tbe federal government men of competence and character, who possess not only ability, but the supoort and confidence of the communities they are to serve. In this way, and this alone, can a strong and respectable Republican party be built up in the South.
