*Th e Philadelphia Record thinks
Roosevelt is a deliciously entertain
ing writer.
Another boom for Judge Gray, of
Delaware for Democratic candidate
for President has been launched. The
others have all come back.
Morgan may be a patriot of the
deepest dye, but somehow the coun
try will not cease thinking that his
is the brand of patriotism that pays.
Seab Wright is apparently waiting
for the people to urge him to run
for senator. Every member of a
locker club ought to hurrah for Seab.
Complaint is made in Savannah
about the small attendance at the
churches. No complaints of this na
ture seem to be coming from the
locker clubs.
The Georgia railroad has been den
ied the right to take off any of its
trains by the railroad commission. It
only remains to order that no road
shall show a deficit in earnings.
Atlanta continues to talk a good
deal about the recent bank failun
but ten to one it will end in talk
No one seems to ever be guilty enough
to punish for the wrecking of a bank.
Oklahoma’s lower house has pass
ed an act providing nine-foot sheets
for hotel beds, and forbidding the use
of cracked chinaware on the tables.
The state believes in starting out
right.
One Savannah locker club has been
“pinched.” The charge is that the
proprietor sold to a man not a mem
ber. Considering the ease with whict
membership is acquired, the alleged
offense is without excuse.
A New York dispatch says the Due
de Chaulnes wore a silk hat and i
light overcoat when he went to ge
the marriage license. He will prob
ably be able to dress better after h<
get his fingers on Papa Shonts’ pile.
The Philadelphia Record holds ths'
the Democratic party might sweep the
country by nominating Judge Gray,
of Delaware, for president, and Gov
ernor Johnson of Minnesota, for vice
president. That would certainly be
a safe and sound ticket
The lady who broke her engagement
to the venerable Senator Davis so as
not to alienate him in his old age
from his family deserves a Carnegie
medal for heroism. Very few would
calmly stand upon so high a ground
and lay aside vast wealth.
Married twice in as many hours is
the record of a Memphis girl. She
could not make up her mind which
man to marry and had the wedding
day set for both of them on the
same day. The first husband seeks
to have both marriages annuled.
Byway of solving the question of
standard bearers for the Republican
and Democratic parties, it has been
suggested that Taft and Hughes vs.
Bryan and Johnson would be a pro
per combination. No doubt the heads
of the two tickets would be agreeable,
hut how about the tails?
The democratic Baltimore Sun ap
proves the President's support of
Taft. It says: “The American people
are pretty evenly divided on political
principles and policies of government,
but they are practically unanimous in
their conviction that loyalty is one of
the greatest of virtues.”
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad con
tinues to discharge employes who are
found to drink when off or on duty.
It has gone in for straight prohibition
as a measure of protection for its
patrons and property. This kind of
prohibition is undoubtedly more effec
tive than state legislation.
President Sutro, of the German-Am
erican Alliance, told the House Com
mittee on Judiciary that more mur
ders had been committeed by men
made dyspeptic by mince pie and ice
water than by men maddened by li
quor. If Roosevelt had been present
he would probably have added “sauer
kraut and limburgcr cheese” to the
list of murder-inspiring agencies.
The New York Evening Post holds
that no one but a Republican drunk
with complacency could deny that the
coming campaign will test his party
to the utmost. It says: “It is no
time for the boastful cry that any good
Republican can beat Bryan. Some
good Republicans, even among those
now mentioned for the Presidency,
would be overwhelmed by Bryan.”
BREAKING IN ON THE JRR’TH
Secretary Taft expresses the belief that the time has come wUeq
determined effort should be made by the Republican party to break in
on the South, to enlist the support of the intelligence and honesty of the
dominant white element in this section, a large portion of which, he holds,
i<- in sympathy with republican policies and aims.
There is no doubt that there is a considerable number of the white
men of the South, especially among the business men, who have been
•endered lukewarm in their support of the democratic party, if not actually
made antagonistic to it, by the course it has pursued in recent years. The
fiee silver heresv was the beginning of this. Business men realized the
fallacy of the 16 to 1 proposition and great numbers of them either voted
openly for Palmer and Buckner, or refrained from going to the polls. Prior
to that there was a small protectionist element in the South, but it had
r ever succeeded in making itself felt to any appreciable degree in a political
way. The revolt against free silver was the first actual break of any magni
tude in democratic ranks in this section. It has not only made many thousands
yjf men in every state independent of party affiliations but it sensibly weak
ened the ties that bound many thousands of others to'the old party.
While this is true, it is just as true that the vast mass of the white
\oters are still lined up solidly behind the banner of democracy. As long
as the South is treated to such exhibitions as was given in the recent
Republican state convention in Florida, where the police had to be called
'n to prevent the negro delegates from carving each other with razors, just
that long will it be imi>ossible for the republican party to cut a wide swath
among the white voters, no matter how much some of its principles may
appeal to them. Racial prejudice is a decidedly stronger factor than poli
tical policies and is likely to continue so indefinitely.
And, in addition, Roosevelt and Bryan are getting so close together in
’heir views on many questions that the average white man is apt to feel
that it will soon be a *oss up between the parties on the existing main
issues and that the support of a pure white man's party is more to his
interest under such circumstances than any benefits that might accrue from
a sweeping change in party affiliations.
CONGRESSMAN LEWIS’ CANDIDACY
Congressman Lewis has apparently
“cinched” his re-election as a member
of the sixty-first congress by making
the announcement that he will not
seek re-election when his next term
expires. Any talk of vigorous oppo
sition was on the theory that Congres
man Lewis had had the job long
enough. Two years from now there
will surely be a warm contest among
a number of aspirants, but if any
body runs against Congressman Lewis
this fall it will be only for the pur
pose of grooming for the real race.
Twelve years Congressman Lewis
has spent in the halls of Congress,
having reached the position of rank
ing Democratic member of the bank
ing and currency committee. In view
of the fact that the currency question
is now the most absorbing one before
Congress, his position is one of the
most important open to the minority.
If the Democrats win in the coming
election, he will no doubt become the
head of this committee.
It is fortunate for the South that this
position is held by Congressman Lewis
the leadership of the minority on the
committee named giving opportunity
to protect the Southern planters in
the matter of legislation. One of the
vital bills which he pushed through
the last house was the bill providing
that real estate should be legal col
lateral for loans by national banks.
In the next two years the currency
system of the country will most
likely be revised in many important
respects, and should the Democrats
win the control of Congress, Con
gressman Lewis would be the head of
the committee having such legislation
in charge. His long experience would
thoroughly fit him for the position,
while the cotton growing states would
be assured of a full consideration in
any changes. Even as ranking mem
ber of the minority of the committee,
in case the Republicans continue in
control, his position is a most starte
gic one.
Though not a resident of Ameri
cus, this city has had the earnest
support of Congressman Lewis in ev
ery proposition. The securing of a
new postoffice building for this city
was due to Mr. Lewis’ untiring ef
forts, and he is devoting himself as
assiduously to the task of securing
an increase in the appropriation in
order that a building may be erected
which will do full justice to the com
mercial importance of the city.
The Third District should with un
animity return Congressman Lewis
for the next term. With many it will
be a disappointment that he will not
again stand for re-election. His
reasons for again offering for the
place are convincing from a patriotic
standpoint alone. He is needed in
his present position during the next
two years more than ever before. No
one else should he thought of for
the place this time.
WHERE WAS FORAKER’S FIGHT!
Taft carried Ohio unanimously.
There seems to have been practical
ly no opposition in the state primary
and he will go into the national con
vention with the solid Ohio delegation
behind him. His victory in his home
state will immeasurably strengthen
him throughout the county, and it
is not impossible that a number of
states will have declared for him
before another month has passed by.
Foraker's fight seems to have been
chiefly of a rhetorical nature. In
Congress he is attacking the presi
dential policies and conduct druing
the campaign, hut if the result in his
own state is any criterion he is ac
complishing nothing effective by his
.continued assaults.
Foraker some time ago announced
that he was a candidate for the presi
dential nomination and not for ano
ther term in the Senate. The election
of a solid Taft delegation from Ohio
would seem to entirely eliminate Fora
ker from consideration in the presi
dential arena and it now remains to
be seen whether there was not a
string to his avowal that he would
not be found seeking another term
as Senator. It is quite probable that
the astute Joseph B. is really kicking
up such a rumpus, in the Senate and
out, for the purpose of forcing a
compromise with his opponents in
Ohio and securing to himself another
lease of life at Washington. He is
a shrewd, and somewhat unscrupu
lous, politician, and so well versed
in the game that the tricks are likely
to turn up in his hand when the end
comes.

GAMBLERS USE PEOPLE’S MONEY
In the course of the debate on
Senator Aldrich's currency measure,
Wednesday, Senator Rayner, of
Maryland, got a chance to indulge in
some -severe criticisms of the present
financial system.
After picturing the workings of the
present reserve scheme, Senator Ray
nor declared that if the city banks
only had on hand one and one-half per
cent and the country banks 6 per cent
of deposits, he wanted to know who
had the rest of the 25 per cent res
erve. He could see no other explana
tion than that the stock mar
ket gamblers got it.
Following this conclusion, he said:
“So gentlemen of the South and
West, when you want to move your
crops, do not apply to the banks, be
cause they have no money, but apply
to the New York Stock Exchange for
permission to do so.”
No love is wasted in the South arid
west on Wall street. Recent develop
ments have shown that the people’s
money was being used for gambling
purposes there. This has still fur
ther tended to arouse the enmity of
other sections against the New York
speculators. Certainly the stamping
out of the gambling—which constitu
tes four-fifths or more of the dealings
on the New York Bourse—will be
hailed with joy by the great majority
of the common people.
Any financial system which panders
to this class is in need of violent re
formation. Regardless of party,
any provision in the new currency
bill which will cripple the gamb
ling activities, carried on with the
people’s money, will have public sup
port.
But if anything of this kind is
passed, it must be forced on Sena
tor Aldrich, whose interests are said
to lie with the “captains of industry”
who are guilty of the offenses com
plained of.
INDEPENDENCE LOOSES CHARM.
Something of a change has come
over the spirit of a goodly party in
Cuba on the annexation question. A
year or two ago the native sentiment
was strong for independence only.
Now some of the Cuban papers are
| expressing the conviction that Wash
ington will devise new measures to
guarantee stability on the island. As
only a year remains until the island
is to be cut loose to paddle for itself,
such talk shows that little interest is
being taken in the proposed indepen
dence.
Real Cuban statesmen are becom
ing more fearful of the experiment as
the day of independence draws nigh.
It was easy to talk big when no im
mediate danger of being left to walk
alone, but when the date has been
set for the near future, it is enough
to sober the agitators.
It is believed by many that a pro
tectorate or an early annexation will
be forced on the country. The Cu
bans as a whole have not yet become
sufficiently accustomed to the benefit
of a stable government to desist from
their old freebooting tactics. An
other generation will have to grow
up before the island is able to under
take self-government with any degree
of success.
Freight train crews in New York
state was treated to a severe shock
when the court of appeals held that
an injunction on a box of freight
reading “this side up” must be ob
served. A brakeman usually con
siders such an inscription as a joke,
but in that state it will be funny no
longer.
The mayor of a Deleware town,
which recently voted dry, has re
signed because under the new regime
the fees were not sufficient to pay
him to remain. The town baliffwill
also resign for the same reason.
Russia is said to be arming in an
ticipation of another struggle with
Japan. Give the big nation time, and
unless too severely torn by internal
dissensions, the little Kingdom of
Japan will he in serious danger.
Tammany Hall and Mayor McClel
lan are said to be united on the basis
of a common opposition to Bryan. The
latter must be considered a strong
demned the song. How about substi
tuting “Mollycoddles?”
“Onward Christian Soldiers” is too
martial a song for the Woman’s
Peace Circle, which has just con
demned the song. How about “On

,d. 3* SUCCESSFUL SERVICE
When a medicine has stood the test for a period of more than two gen
erations and is then more popular than ever, there can be no doubt of its
merit. This is the record of S. S. S. Its period of existence is marked by a
long line of cures of blood and skin diseases of every’ character, and its value
in the treatment of such troubles has become so well known that it is today
the most extensively used blood medicine on the market. For Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers. Skin Diseases and all other troubles
due to an impure or poisoned condition of the blood, S. S. S. has no equal.
It counteracts and drives out the poisons, humors and germs, cleanses the
system of all unhealthy matter, cures the disease permanently and restores
strong, robust health. Where the blood is weak or anaemic, and unable to
furnish the body with the nourishment and strength it needs, S. S. S. sup
plies it with the healthful properties and acts splendidly in toning up and
reinvigorating the system. It goes down to the very bottom of all blood
disorders, and in this way reaches inherited taints on which the ordinary
blood medicines have no effect. Not only is S. S. S. certain in its results,
but it is at the same time an absolutely safe remedy. It is made entirely of
roots, herbs and barks of known healing and curative value. It does not
contain the slightest trace of mineral in any form to damage the delicate
parts of the system, and may be used by children with the same good results
and perfect safety as by older people. It is not an experiment to use S. S. S.;
it is a remedy with a record and one that has proven its worth by its forty
years of successful service. If 3-011 are in need of a blood purifier for any
cause begin the use of S. S. S., write our ph\-sicians and they- will send you
a book concerning your trouble, and will give without charge any special
medical advice that is required.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
SUPREME COURT IS
ALSO IN BALANCE
Next President May Ap
point Lour Members.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13.
(Special)—The fact that the succes
sor of President Roosevelt will in all
probability appoint four justices of
the Supreme Court is attracting the
attention of politicians here, who
see in it. an additional complicating
feature for a campaign already com
plicated more than any which has
been waged by the Republicans in the
last twenty-five years. The four va
cancies would be created by the prob
able retirement of Chief Justice Ful
ler, who will be 76 years old on Tues
day; Justice Harlarn, who will be 76
on June 1; Justice Brewer, now 71,
and Justice Peekham, now 70. None is
in robust health.
Three members or the court were
appointed by President Roosevelt—
Justices Day, Holmes, and Moody. The
appointment of four other Justices by
a man in thorough accord with the
President's policies would mean that
a substantial majority of the court
would probably be sympathetic with
the Roosevelt views of what’is con
stitutional legislation.
There is the best authority for
saying that this situation has caused
no little concern among the present
memlers of the court. It is known
that there has been a free exchange
of ideas among the Justices, with the
result that there is substantial ac
cord. The court is almost unanimous
against Roosevelt methods and against
many of the results of these methods.
All this is of special concern to
the labor leaders. It is significant
that recently there has been a warm
ing toward Roosevelt by these men.
The decisions of the Supreme Court
declaring unconstitutional laws in
which they were vitally interested
and knocking out the boycott have
incensed the labor leaders here. They
are beginning to see the significance
of the situation in the court.

Police Raid School Teach

PITTSBURG, PA., Feb. 13.—(Spe

other Italians, alleged members of a
society of criminals, arrested in a raid
last night following attempts to black
mail R. R. Quay, son of the late
Senator Quay, and other residents of
Sewickley Heights, an exclusive resi

further hearing. letters and litera
ture found in the house they occupied
are being translated.
The police asert that a school to
train young men in methods of extor
tion and the best manner of taking
human life was found in session last
night when detectives arrested the
leader, Folilon, with his assistants and
students at the reridezvous. Some de
tectives assert that Folino secured his
ideas from Italian fairy tales. Ex
tracts from these are found in the
by laws of the society and in the in
structions to the men when address
ing their “magnanimous leader.”
Translations of the papers found
in the shanty of Raffele Peluso, near
Sewickley, last week reveal interest

death of this society is as follows:
“With my life I swear everlasting
allegiance to the Sacro Coricalo So

the great hand shall order. I pledge
myself to take whatever life is nec

LIVES ON RAISINS
Enos Mills Did Not Enjoy
N. 0. Food.
(New Orleans States)
Enos A. Mills, the government for
estry agent' who delivered a lecture
at Progressive Union Hall last night
has caused nq end o f wonder in New
Orleans by the diet he sticks to year
in and year out.
Mr. Mills is well known in the
city by reputation, and it was not
long after he arrived here from the
reservation in before he had
made many friends. As a matter of
course they did their best to give Prof.
Mills a taste of Creole hospitality and
arranged a few luncheons, one or two
dinners, and a breakfast at Borgue's
and one or two little trifles like that
to take place during his stay in the
city.
But, somehow, Prof. Mills did not
seem to relish the viands of which
he partook.
Finally, in desperation, one of the
professor’s admirers summoned up
courage to ask as to what kind of
food he was accustomed to eating.
“Why, Lord bless you," said the
professor, “I live on half a pound of
raisins a day, the year wound.”
His hosts sized up his well develop
ed and apparently well nurtured body
and took a look at his fresh white
and pink complexion and expressed
wonder.
“1 eat nothing but raisins,” con
tinued the professor. “As a rule I
walk thirty miles a day, over the for
est of which I have charge. Much of
the time I have to climb mountains,
Some of my trips last three weeks and
when I am about to start on one of
them 1 strap fifteen pounds of rais
ins to my back and there are my
provisions all put up and easily car
ried.
“I find that I need no other food.
Part of the time I am as much as
14.000 feet above sea level, where
there is much snow, and I find that
the raisins agree as well with me at
that altitude as they do at more
normal levels. I have no regular meal
I merely chew raisins when I am
hungry. 1 make a point of chewing
them up fine, seed and all.”
5,000 MEN HAVE
RETURNED TO WORK
CLEVELAND, 0., Feb. 13.—(Spe
cial) —Between 5000 and COOO men re
turned to work at the Lorain plant
of the National Tube Company this
morning.
Interviews with leading manufac
turers of Cleveland and northern Ohio
show an optimistic feeling as to bus
iness conditions on all sides.
After a shutdown of nearly three
months, three mills of the Stark Roll
ing Mill Company, at Canton, Ohio,
resumed today. It is expected that
the two other plants of the com
pany will resume in two weeks.
A marked improvement in trade
is reported among the rubber manu
facturing company at Akron. The
B. F. Godrich company has added 250
men to its force within the last few
weeks, and the plant is now operated
with its normal number of employes.
Other rubber manufacturing compan
ies are placing many additional men
at work.
