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. •4 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.” n 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. n 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. THE WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. DR. W. M.
