MdW THE SUN DO MOVE?
A South Dakota genius with long
whiskers, who left the Republican
party, joined the Populist party and
returned to the Republicans, got on
the committee on resolutions at their
late state convention, and wrote the
platform. The convention adopted it
with a howl, and the chairman said it
was the true doctrine of Republican
ism as preached by Lincoln and Mc-
Kinley and Roosevelt. Then the gen
tleman with the long whiskers and the
Populistic career got up and solemn
ly proved to that convention, with the
aid of a scrapbook, that it had adopt
ed the Omaha platform of the late
People’s party. How “the sun do
move.” —Exchange.
The Price of Liberty.
(From Nebraska Looking Glass.)
Some one has said that “eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty,” and
while this is true it must not be for
gotten that there are many channels
that call for vigilant watchfulness.
We American people often seem to
act as though the old saying that “a
special Providence looks after the
drunkard and the American people”
thus putting us in a bad class, was
reason sufficient for neglect as well
as security for our liberties.
The recently discussed question as
to the authority of a state in any mat
ter affecting the whole country, as
brought to the front by the action of
the school board in San Francisco, re
garding the Japs, shows that there is
danger in that direction.
And the often discussed action of
the supreme court in its deciding upon
acts of the legislative department
.shows us another danger. The fear
of assumed power is always at hand.
Evidently our government is yet in
the experimental stage, and one safe
guard in the past has been the disposi
tion to put a strict construction upon
the constitution, but that is also in the
line of danger.
The one last resort in all lines of
danger must be on the clear headed
determination of the people to main
tain our liberties; for only so far as
the people are blinded can the nation
be led in paths of prejudice and parti
sanship, regardless of right.
Our Older Immigrants.
((From the Edgefield Advertiser.)
Immigration will not only increase
the supply of labor and build up the
waste places in the rural districts, but
■the right kind of immigration will re
cruit the ranks of South Carolina cit
izenship with men of character, force
and power—men who will be factors in
rightly administering the affairs of
state, as well as in the ordinary affairs
of life. But for the coming of a col
ony of sturdy, sterling Germans years
ago, South Carolina would not now
have Hon. M. F. Ansel for governor.
Capt F. W. Wagener of Charleston,
that tower of strength in the commerce
of the state, first saw the light in the
old country, and Mr. John McSween,
a member of the dispensary commis
sion and one of the most substantial
citizens of the Pee Dee section, is a
native of Scotland. Scores of other
men of like character could be men
tioned. Help along the immigration
movement whenever and wherever
possible.
A dispatch from Washington states
■that Senator Tillman has signed a
to lecture every night, ex
cept Sunday nights, from the adjourn
ment of congress until it meets again
:next December. The senator will be
heard in the south, in New England
and in the far west. It Is estimated
that he will receive a total of about
943,000 for these lectures.
OLD KINQ CORN.
There is to be held in Chicago next
fall “a corn show.” But it will be an
agricultural exhibition, not a chiropo
distical. Nine million acres in Illi
nois alone are given over to corn, and
the total value of the crop in the
whole country, in 1905, was $1,116,-
UUO,OOO. If one more bushel per acre
could be raised it would mean at cur
rent market price an addition of over
$44,000,000 to the wealth of the farm
ers. Corn is worth cultivating, in
more senses than one.

Resurrected Prophecies.
(From the Lincoln Independent.)
General Manager Holdrege of the
Burlington says of the 2-cent fare now
proposed: “It will effectually stop all
railroad construction in the state. Os
course if the people would rather pay
a cent less per mile and not have any
more new districts developed that is
their business.”
Speaker Nettleton will remember
that General Passenger Agent Eustis
of the Burlington told the legislature
twenty-two years ago when it proposed
a 3-cent fare; “There is no step which
the people of the state could take
which will so much check all schemes
for further development here as an at
tempt by the legislature to regulate
the revenues of the railroads.”

Watson's Right Opinion.
(From the Marietta Courier.)
Tom Watson is certainly right in
what he says about President Roose
velt. The president deserves th© sup
port of every true southerner in his
fight for the right and against a
sweet bunch of south haters. Mr.
Roosevelt is proving himself to be a
man and we should stand by him. He
has made mistakes and we have con
demned him; now let’s hold up his
hands and encourage him in right
doing.
n
Treat the Negro Fairly.
(From the Fitzgerald Enterprise.)
Let it be understood once and for all
in every county, in every state in this
union, particularly in this southland
of ours, that even the suggestion of
social equality shall never be enter
tained; that the distinction which
God Almighty has established divid
ing the races shall not be violated,
but that as long as the negroes remain
in America they shall have fair trials
and an equal showing in the enforce
ment of the law.
n
Home Made School Books.
(From Limestone, Tex., Press.)
Charity begins at home. This ap
plies also to industries. The Texas leg
islature could advance on industry to
a great extent by passing a law to the
effect that all text books used in Tex
as schools must be printed in Texas.
Texas has as good printers, as goou
printing material and equipment as
any state in the union. They can pro
duce the finished book as cheaply as
can any other state and this industry
should be encouraged. We ask our leg
islators to think over this and then act.
It means many dollars and more peo
ple in the state. It is one way to aug
ment the 5,000,000 we want in 1910.

The Texas state senate discharged
the committee which was to investi
gate the charges against Sen
ator Bailey by a vote of
15 to 11 before the committee
had time to investigate or report.
The idea of sending the committee to
St. Louis to secure the testimony of
H. Clay Pierce, head of the Waters-
Pierce Co., was blocked by friends of
Bailey.
