To quote tho dispatch, "Mr. Bryan feels that Preildent Roosevelt Is pro gressing so rapidly toward the radical stand which he himself took In his two campaigns that no harm can be done tho party's principles by giving tho president an uncontested election so far aa the Democracy Is concern ed." Barring the politicians who are out of a job and the capitalists who do not like to be hampered In the effort for "predatory wealth," we believe that the great mass of voters will be found In heartiest sympathy with Mr. Graves' prop osition.—Caienovla New York Re public.

We trust The State will not pursue the subject further. Never in his career did the Pres ident wander so far from blunder as when he took Taft to bit bosom —News and Courier. We are growing auspicious of our Charleston contemporary. We are be ginning to believe that It prefers Taft to Roosevelt, and cither of them to Bryan, The News and Courier's arnax- tng consistency Is only surpassed by Us prodigious humor. tf The Houston Post can take the Waters-Pierce trial and vindicate Bai ley from suspicious connection with Standard Oil, our hats will be off to The Poet for all time. It has come to the peas that when the wise old serpents of Well etreet wish a presidential candidate shelved, they proceed to advocate him. It Is a pretty trick, and Senator Daniel la its latest victim. OH, VES, WE HAVE CRITICISED THE PRESIDENT. The Charlotte Observer and some Virginia newspapers which quote It, feel that they have made a great find In an editorial which The Geor gian and News wrote soma years ago condemning President Roosevelt after the alleged Booker Washington dining. The Incident Is thoroughly trivial and hat no real bearing on the present discussion In which Tho Georgian Is engaged. It baa been four years since that editorial, and both the president and The Georgian are progressive Individualities. The president gives abundant evidence that he has learned much from that event, and has largely reformed bis Ideas by a closer contact with the Southern people. If anything Is clear to the thoughtful observer It Is the fact that the president has been greatly disillusioned upon the negro question and that he Is not only at this time thoroughly normal but genuinely half South ern In his view of the negro race and Its relations to the superior race. Any fair-minded observer will concede the general disappearance of the presidential policy In appointing negroes to office during these last two years. No fair-minded observer will fall to recall tho vigor of the presi dent In prosecuting the Brownsville murderers and to observe the educa tion which unreasoning negro protest over that Incident haa brought to bli mind. Moreover, It Is generally established In the testimony of those who are In a position to know that Booker Washington was not Invited to dinner at tho president's table and was merely casually asked to share a luncheon sent over on a waiter to the president's private office while the negro leader was engaged with the president In a serious considera tion of the affairs of hU raco In the South. That Booker Washington eagerly accepted the half-hearted lnvlta- tatlnn was doubtless as much of a surprise to the president as It was disagreeable to tho country at largo. The Georgian has nothing to retract from the editorial which It wrote concerning this Incident at the time that it occurred and upon the public reports which were made of It before the truth became known. Nor yet does The Oeorglan pretend In any degree to be an unlimited Indorser of the president or to be In any way blind to hla fallibility and to tho Impulsive blemishes upon his great career. Our friends of Charlotte and Lynchburg and other cltleB aro merely quibbling over on Incident which haa no real relation to our general prop osition. We have never claimed perfection for tho president nor express ed any complete concurrence with all hla views and all bla policies. What we have said In the beginning and what we say now la that we reckon the regulation of predatory wealth as the transcendent and over shadowing Issue of the times In which we live. And wo challenge the record and tho Intelligence of the people with the assertion that the presi dent Is bettor equipped In comprehension of this Issuo and hla hold upon tho agencies and tho machinery that aro lighting the people's battle than any man now upon the horizon of public life, or any man that Is likely to appear upon It In time to take advantage of the peculiar and favorable con ditions for the solution of our greatest national problem. We take occasion of our own volition to remind The Charlotte Observ er and tho Virginia papers that wo have written other articles In criticism of President Roosevelt. These wore thoroughly sincere and they are to day exlBtent without apology and without regret. It Is also likely that we shall havo other occasions In time to como to differ from tho presi dent's policies and to say so without hesitation. But at this tlmo the fact stands unrefuted and unanswerable that the president Is the best equipped man In all the republic to fight the great est battle that tho people have ever joined, and that It would be unspeaka ble folly to displace him Ita the very crisis of the conflict for an untried leader without the machinery ot battle or the prcstlgo of victory In hla hands. Tho trouble with tho Charlotte and Lynchburg papers Is that they each belong to the ult ra conservative Parker Democrats who are half Re publicans In their political alignment, and who aro not really In sympathy with the great fight which tho president Is making for tho people against predatory wealth. VINDICATING BAILEY OP TEXAS. That Is good news that comes to us from Texas through the col umns of tho over loyal and reliable Houston Post, In the matter of Sena tor Bailey. A nuws dispatch In The Post of Sunday, commenting on certain phases of the Wators-PIcrco Oil Company ouster suit just con cluded at Austin, Texas, la quite Interesting In view of some an tecedent history. It will be remembered that last winter, when this case was continued, tbo state made a demand on the defense to produce certain records by which It was proposed to ahow that the oil company had tiald sums of money to Senator Bailey, and that tho attor ney general In an open letter named and particularly specified these vouchers. It waa charged by Senator Bailey and hla friends, at the time, that these vouchers! or records, had no bearing on the case In hand, and that the action of the attorney general In the premises was simply a part of a conspiracy to defame, to destroy If poaslblo, the senator and prevent hla re-election to the senate. This chargo has been amply and overwhelmingly confirmed by the proceedings of the trial just ended. Not a single ono of these record* re lating to Bailey was offered In evidence, and not even tho testimony of Gruett, tbo chief and star witness from whom the state obtained tho Information used for political purposes against Bailey by Attorney Gen eral Davidson, saw the light of day In this trial. And The Pott aaya In conclusion 'when all the facta tn this most re markable transaction como out the people ot Texaa ai a whole will know, what many have known all along, that Senator Bailey has been made the victim of if conspiracy, the meanest and foulest that ever disgraced this or any other state. Great nows this. Tho court development which give* back Bailey stainless to Democracy will be remembered and rejoiced In for more than a generation. one upon another bad Imprisoned a rattlesnake, who without vindic tive complaint looked at the gentleman wftb appealing eyes and rattled that portion of hip tall which was left free In a distinct call for help. Be ing himself a humane man, and fully realizing the mental superiority of Georgia snakes to Texas serpents, the gentleman pushed the stone from th.e back of the snake and stepped back for a few momenta to see what It would do. The serpent took only a few moments to re-establish his . rather numb physical relations with his own body, and cllmed down the pile ot stone straight to the feet of his benefactor. Holding bis cane in bis hand In view of any possible failure of the civilized faculties ot the ser pent, our Georgian fearlessly awaited results. The quake came straight up to the gentleman and without thinking for a moment ot placing him self In that historic coll which means danger and attack, proceeded to move In circles about hi* benefactor's feet, shaking hi* rattles and wink ing hla eyes In a state of high and grateful appreciation. He circled around hla benefactor, he ran between hla feet, he brushed amiably and joyously around hla lower limb* and then stretched himself quietly at full length at the feet of the man. Fully satisfied that the snake was maintaining the beat traditions of gratitude and character which the Georgia serpent has attained, the Georgian turned and started back to the house. When he reached the door he waa astonished to see that the rattler waa gratefully following at hla heels. With the ladles of his family away from home, the Georgia man determined to give the reptile hla way. The snake followed him docilely Into the house, stopping when his benefactor stopped and mov ing In proportion. When the gentleman sat down to read the evening Georgian Juat laid on hla table the rattler complacently curled himself at bis benefactor’s feot and went to sleep. When the gentleman retired to bed that night the snake crawled tranquilly and' quietly up the post and curled himself like a foot warmer on the lower edgo of the bed. Thor oughly confident of bis good Intentions, our Georgia naturalist went tran quilly to sleep with his friend of the rock pile as his companion and guar dian. This happy relation continued for a week or more until the man became as dependent upon the serpent os the serpent did upon the man. Frequently In the night time he awaked and always found his faithful and grateful guardian at his feet. One night, however, the gentleman, aroused In the middle ot the night by some disturbance, discovered that bis bed fellow was not In bed. He looked for him quietly about tho room In the moonlight. Not being able to discover him he finally turned on the gas. Tho rattler was nowhere to be seen. Hearing a noise, however. In the adjoining room, our Georgian softly opened his door and there to his amazement ho discovered that a burglar had entered the house In the middle of the night and had been halted by this Georgia rattlesnake, who after a scuffle In behalf of his bene factor had succeeded In wrapping himself around the neck of the burg lar with tho upper part of his body while his tall protruding from the window waa vigorously sounding the rattle call for a policeman! Now If the “nature fakir" of Tho Houston Post has anything In the animal life of Texaa which can establish a higher character for his snakes than this, he Is welcome to proceed.

(From The Wsshlnston Herald.) Apropos of the nomination by the able editors of the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Charleston News nnd Courier of Demo cratic candidates for the presidency and vice presidency whose Identity Is carefully con reeled within the editorial mind, wo be* leave to suggest a Democratic platform suitable to those end to all other Demo cratic candidates who have been or may hereafter he named—e platform broad end comprehensive enough to satisfy Democrats ot every shade and variety of opinion. Such a declaration of principles, we Judge, would read nliont as follows: IN CHATTANOOGA CONTEMPT CASES Washington, June 4.—The taking of testimony of the sensational contempt case of Sheriff Shipp and two hundred prominent cltlsens of Chattanooga, Tenn., will be resumed at once.

A Tho unreasoning and omnivorous pride of Tho Houston Post In everjr product of Texas hah now reached that condition of dementis Texts In which It Is actually boasting of the snakes of that commonwealth. After a successful comparison of every. other product of Georgia with the limited variety of things which come from Texas, we are not disposed to shirk a comparison with that great and boastful state even In tho matter of snakes. We concede frankly In the beginning that they have more snakes In Texas than we hsvo In Georgia. Candor also compels us to relate that these snakes are more venomous In their character then ours, ntoro vi cious In their habits, more predatory In their relations to the human race and more vindictive tn cherishing an animosity which they have arous ed In any previous encounter, either with serpents or animals or men. Tho ono point of pre-eminent superiority which we claim for our Georgia snakes Is In their Intelligence and In their thoroughly amiable dispositions. It has keen many years since s Georgia serpent has bitten a human being. This is doubtless due to tho Intelligent conception on the part of the Georgia snake that the new product of cors whisky which has been recently developed to great perfection In this state It so peculiarly besting to the bite of the reptile that the wise and Intelli gent sorpent of Georgia has long since reached the philosophic conclu sion that It It vsln to bite a Georgian so long ss the perfect sntldoto Is to easily and generally at hand.
