Not very many years ago there were inen In the North who ’ voted with the party of their fathers [just as naturally as they accepted ..their father's name as their own. It was gomewhat the same In the Mouth; ■with this (ItTforoncft, that the Mouth- I erner realised the Impelling necetv laity of standing together on the ne : gro question, mid It became a matter lof shame to vote with the republl- E cans. There are men In the North today, I however, who are flocking toward [democracy put of sheer dlsgußt with [the hyproolsles and Injustices of the m'r. O. P. There are men in the South, I'lio, Ihavlng galneil easily earned J alth unuer a system favoring cor ; I*, ln Interest* are poisoned with the Lame persuasions as those at the I North, who are zealously at work to inn tills government for special priv ilege. Such men, no mntter to what sec tion they belong, are not misled by sentiments of loyalty. They will vote lor the political pHrty which (promises In serve their private Interests best. If the Hull Moose stands for monop oly, high tariffs, special privileges ar 1 Wall Street rule, these men will ■tand for the Mull Moose, but the question for Mr. Roosevelt to solve Is I simply thla; What will lie the chances of these selfish and devouring In i tcrests, when the present admlnlstra * tton conn In-fore the country with kits record of good and successful gov n rnment ? Abraham Lincoln said that God I must love the common people because she made so ntHny of them. These numerous common people have as keen an appreciation of iiu-ir Inter esla as have those who are seeking to dominate the count!.' tor their own advantage. They are not likely to be deceived When tlhe time cornea to register their choice, because In that time they will see and know the re sults of a more honest and more Just government. The rovings of Theodore Roosevelt snd other disgruntled sons of privt lege cannot harm the democratic ad ministration Mre.ulv before the first two years of Its service are I assetl this Administration can point to it* record. The tariff -has been paired down end reformed with the heavier taxes now bearing upon luxu ries. And the government's revenue fmm this source In mb good ns ever To bo sure, the great bounties, that before thla time, went to the manu facturer* and monopolists are cut out, but the clear proof that the gov -1 eminent's revenue from thla source Is abundant is a complete answer to the splattering complaints and walla of the protectionists, When the full effeeta of the cur rency and truat reforms have hud time enough to make a showing we think that arguments and protests against them will fall upon Indif ferent ears. The mind of tlie court of public opinion will have been made up. Mr. Roosevelt Is said to be in need of a rest, but rest would never do. This Is bis last call to inflame the aelfish and persuade the gullible. Every day the democratic administra tion Is growing In the confidence snd the affections of the great ‘'com mon" people, and God is still making a great many of thqjn THE NEGRO IN WASHINGTON. Surely It Ik not the purpose on the part of the South anti the democratic party to make war on the negro cltl r< tis of the country. Kor reaaons too obvloue and too well understood to need rehearsing here, the South has been emharrnas ed and held bark by the haaty and ui wiee art or coßgreaa In ronferrinit the full rights of clttxenshlp upon tr.e negro The South has met and overcome thl* difficulty. Thla soc lion la now its much a white man s Country aa any part of the North or West, but It has never been the idea, as we understand It. of the Southern people to cut the negro oTf from op portunities which do not conflict with the supreinar , j of the white p«o p!e In the South. The South and the democratic partv hsve stood gqugrwly on the plat form of self preservation When that la attained, why should we take up the mail Idea that It Is our part to dictate to or interfere with the North, and Its treatment of negro nit I tens? It'ls ohilditth and quarrelsome to demand that the negro shall he dis criminated agaiuat by the democratic i I administration in the District of Co • lurabia. It is merely captious and , unreasonable to expect President | Wilson to exercise his power as chief executive lit this narrow and par tisan spirit. It is of little or no ini I ortance to the Southern people that tiio Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia is a negro and It is misr erably small and wide of the real is sue, to make a fight on this matter. President Wilson, upon realizing that the object in removing the Re corder of Deeds In the District of Co lumbia was to push the negroes out of office, tias made a promise to re place the present. Incumbent with an other of tlie same race. This is not because the president is Imbued with any Northern Idea of flaunting the negroes before the Southern people, hut simply because he believes that the race, having been given the rights of citizenship, cannot justly he dis criminated against in the national capital. Wo think President Wilson is ex actly right in his attitude on this mat ter and we deeply deplore tlie tenden cy In certain quarters to let race feeling lead the people of the Sout.i upon grounds so untenable- and so far away. Surely the most that the South can ex eel, or hope Is that under the very mistaken and unfor tunate law of the land each slate may yet continue to decide the ques tion of the m gro in politics for Itself, Tlie fact that the Recorder of Deeds directs and controls young white wo men In his olflice Is certainly re pugnant to the Southern mind, but the white women of the South will llnd employment elsewhere. Wo cannot hope to lie let alone In the conduct of our local affairs if we take upon ourselves the task of reg ulating matters of a strictly national nature by our own jocal and sectional standards. President Wilson was born in Au gusta. mured tn South Carolina and Virginia and started life tn Atlanta. No man understands the South’s dif ficulties and handicaps better than he, but the president would do his party and the South a gross injustice In precipitating fresh Issues and use lish antagonisms on the rare ques tion. Southern men and statesmen ought to bo b Toad enough to see this. They ought to he enough awake to the best interest* of thetr own sec tion to see it and we believe most of them are Goes Strong on the Long Distance Marriage Stakes • Pari,. — Ex Archduks Tampolrt of Austrlal legally known in Europe as Leopold Wolfllng, a Swiss citizen of Zong near urlch, Is still going strong in tho long dlstiincß marriage stakes. In tho courts at Munich he Is the wil ling respondent In a divorce suit and I am told that he hn» an Immediate third marriage In view ns soon as the divorce court routine Is through. The present "archduchess” was Frnuleln Marie Ritter, formerly In do mestic service In Germany, and tlie couple were married at Zurich six years ago.

"By Tube to France;” An English Pamphlet Pari*. “By Tubs to Franc#'* an Eng lish pamphlet Just out, attracted much Attention here today. It deals with the channel tunnel scheme, which 1# now be ing considered Afresh In the light of new conditions by the Kngilth committee of imperial defence It Is pointed out in regard to the ob jections which have been raised by mili tary and naval people, now. happily, di minishing in number, that the tunnel could never he used for an invasion, as It could he almost instantaneously rend ered übelee* by water or explosives. It might, on the other hand, he of price* les* assistance in some wars, us it would he a perpetual open door for food end other supplies. We are Also re minded that the tunnel would he a great boon to thousands of travelers who at laesent face the hAxards of the channel crossing with dread. Important con siderations, such as the traffic in per ishable and other goods, which would gain considerably by direct forwarding without shipment, are dealt with and a symposium of views of prominent people on the advantages of the tunnel is repro duced. Had An Amusing Way of Traveling; Menu-Passport Rome.—A journalist who wanted to go from Cattaro, In Austria, to Mon tenegro. recently, but had no pass port, solved the difficulty In an amus ing fashion. At a hotel where he was lunching he explained his difficulty to the head waiter. The latter picked up the hotel menu and said: “Thla Is the only p.isapori you will need. Every time you are asked to produce It just l.and the official a packet of tobacco Armed w ith Id* menu passport the journalist did as he had been advised. The Montenegrin customs officers gravely went through the menu, glancing at the traveler from time time to see of the "description" tal lied and then with a how restored the document and told him to proceed The first dishes on the hotel menu were "I'ap's head, pigs' knuckles, shoulder of mutton." CONFIRM REPORT VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS Berlin. The unbellaved reports of earthquake shocks and volcanic erup tions tn Stululand, Natal, are appar ently confirmed by dlspatchra frosti the local magistrate, who desorlhea a small crater surrounded by molten rook, which Is still hot.

HONORABLE JOSEPH M. BROWN - OFFERS ONE TIME TOO MANY (From the Columbus hedger.) The final derision of former Gov ernor Joseph M. Brown to enter the • enatorldl race In opposition to Hoke Hmilh will be a disappointment to his leal friend* and to nil lovers of po litical peace in Georgia. It was thought by many that the old ‘political feud” which had been so detrimental to the Htate all these years, causing friction in line* of business a* well a* politic*, passed away when Mr. Brown voluntarily retired from the of fice of governor, declaring at the time that he was “done with politics.” But Ifokr Smith become* United State* senator. This *eem* to be the trouble with the former governor, who appear* to have always maintained a tremendous amount of for wards the man who removed him from the Htate railroad commission. And this feeling seen * to have been greatly Intensified by the “ardent” support er* of Mr. Brown who happen to he political enemle* of Smith. So here we jire face to face with another bitter political campaign in Georgia. And there i* no reaJ good reason for It either. The Ledger has always been an ad mirer of Mr. Brown. During past cam paign* we have supported him and we have had no cause to regret It. Few men made better record* a* executive of the and we found many thing* constructivev and commend able in his administration. But, The ledger cannot stand by Mr. Brown in the pending contest for the senate. Frankly we are surprised at the former governor entering the >raco against Mr. Smith, who ha* made «uch an enviable record In the upper branch of the national congress. Hoke Smith has become a leader In the na tion* a administration, being one of President Wilson!# cloest adviser*. THE WA YS OF A WOMAN He Packed Up His Belongings and Followed the Fair Singer on Her Travels—She Muayt Have a Protector at Her Side if t imilar Scenes Like the One in Tonapah Should Occur Again and Bill Was a Splendid Protector. Jim and Bill were furioun. The way that man In the box office treated hon est miners was outrageous! For more than hnlf an hour they had had to bar gain with him for tickets and after all they finally had to pay half a dollar each, but then of course they had got seats in the front row right next to the stage. Then they had had a row with that fool of a porter who would not let them enter the hall unless they left their six-shooters outside. T>ld any one ever hear of such a thing? To part with the guns they even slept with! But the ports* was an ex-champion pugilist, so what could they do? With many curses they handed over the guns and walked to their front seats through the crowded hall, scowling angrily at every body hut determined to have a good time. In a moment an old grand piano was rolled on to the stage and a sporty looking young man sat down and ham mered out a tune. Then SHE came, she for whom Jim and Bill and one hundred and fifty other lovers of art were waiting the great Azuzena Zol fanelli, the most famous singer of two hemispheres. Many a famous Italian singer had al ready been heard in Tonopah, Nevada, singers like Marsala Trapsna and Flora Blrrhlnhinu, hut a Zolfanelli had never been there yet. And on the flaming poster at the entrance everyone could reud that the whole world adored Azuze na Zolfanelli; that she was the only guaranteed genuine Sicilian night ingale whose hand 'Teddy” Roosevelt laid kiss ed To emphasize this truth the let ters on the poster were nearly half * yard high. Still It cannot be denied that the Si cilian nightingale did not look quite as beautiful as on the poster. Her hair was reddish brown, hair dyes being rather primitive In Nevada, and on her cheeks she bad a thick layer of white and red. But even if she was no classic beauty, she was attractive enough to look at. according to Tonapah stand ards. She wore a magnificent blue gown and golden slippers, real shining golden slippers. A storm of applause greeted her ap pearance She nodded smiling to the enthusiastic miners, who would hH\e been Squally enthusiastic even if she had merely been a woman in blue velvet gown ami not the world famous artist, for men were many and women few in Tonapah. Zolfanelli. however, was no mere beauty, but a singer, and «■ soon the applause had subsided^she step ped to the piano and sang It must he admitted that if she sang not a little out bf tune, she sang loud, very loud Indeed Jim said later that he had never heard anybody sing ns loud as Zolfanelli. Here singing met with general ap proval except for some dosen or so of the audience, who voiced their resent ment In no uncertain terms. Bill growl «>d his dissatisfaction while Jim roared itis applause. ' .. •'She is no singer.” shouted one or the miners In the midst of her rendering of ••Bella Spaganola,” “she is a disguised buffalo ore"' Ami having nothing bet tor «t hand he picked up Ids chair and smashed It against the piano. This was the beginning of an uproar such as had never been seen <*■ heard before In Tonapah, glut which made it lmtHtßSlhle to go on with Ihe concert It did not take the ex-champion bouncer many seconds to land the chair thrower outside the door hut at the same moment Bill Jumped up on the stage and smashed the lop of the grand piano with his fist The gentleman who had placed heat a hasty retreat while Ihe famous singer In her terror Jumped down (Vom the stage and tlrrew her fat pow dered arms around Jim's neck.

In the first moment he was dumbfounded and did not know what to do with the lady who had chosen him as her champion among one hundred and fifty .idmlrered hut he s.*m recov ered.

Hr has accomplished much for his constituents in Georgia, and the Southland generally, and the peoPle of this state have no idea of turning him down and out at this time simply to yratify the political aspiration of the former governor and satisfy the political "friends” of Mr. Brown, who happen to be the enemies of Smith. The Ledger believes that Mr. Brown lias allowed himself to be misled this time by those who are unfriendly to Mr. Smith, whose apparent ambition is to thwart the efforts and, if possi ble, kill the influence of the brilliant Georgia senator whose splendid achievements at Washington seem to have gone against the grain with them. There are no Issues involved in the campatgnlngg arid there is noth ing on the surface to indicate the ob ject of the former governor in lining up against Smith now, save a desire to renew that old and deplorable po litical strife tietween the friends of the two men, and this seems to have been forced on Mr. Brown by some of his "friends,” who have become blinded by bitterness. Therefore, we say, we are surprised at the former executive yielding to this class. The people of Georgia have enough of the Smith-Brown factional politics. They are tried of such bitterness and unrest and they are not going to al low the impending contest to bother them to any great extent. The Ledger has seen nothing to indicate that the friends of the senator or Mr. Smith himself was responsible for any part of the movement to resurrect the old lend, and we believe that the ac tion of the friends of Brown in tak ing the initiative will react on the Brown followers, thereby minimizing the number of Brown votes on the date of the primary. up.” Then he ordered Jim to leave the room find according to Western etiquette Jim had to walk out with hi* hands above his head. This was the thanks he had for his chivalry. There ho stood outside the door like a schoolboy, won dering how Billy had been forgiven so quickly. What a fool he had been to let run get near the singer. He in stead of Bill might now have been sit ting with her in the parlor smoking ci garettes. And he had promised to send the twenty-nine offenders on the same errand. He decided to wait for Bill in the barroom. But he waited In vain. Bill did not appear. He had packed up his belong ings and followed the fair singer on her travels. She must have a protector at her side if similar scenes like the one In Tonapah should occur again and Bill was a splendid protector. Gave Evidence in Favor of German Army Officers; is Now Reaping Reward Berlin.—One of the most prosper- j oils women in Germany at the present, time if Frau Ewers, who is likely to J be known to fame as the Widow of j Zabern. During the “Army v. People"! episodes in Alsace-Lorraine last win-1 ter she eked out a humble existence j as a tobacconist. Her simp was near; the public square in which Colonel ! von Reuter's troops overawed the populace after arresting the town judge, public prosecutor and thirty other civilians. At the court she gave evidence In favor of the otficcrs. and civilians boycotted her shop A statement to that effect was published broadcast in the German press, and Frau Ewers 1 began to receive checks and orders for cigars and tobacco from all parity of the country. Most of them came from army officers or ex otficers, and were accompanied by words of grat itude for iier patriotic conduct. Each of her new customers seemed to take it upon himself io secure or ners for the widow, with the result that she had to engage assistance. Now, she has practically become a i wholesale dealer, as most of her or- j d-'rs come from outside Zabern, and; she has found it necessary to estab lish a branch shop la neighboring Alsaee-lkirralne towns.
