' WILL THE SOLID SOUTH ALWAYS BE SOLID?
A congress of all the southern industries which desire protection
will be held at New Orleans the latter part of September.
There is no sound economic reason why there should be any sec
tional division on the subject of protection, nor, in fact, any political
division. . ."'; ; .''
Tariff protection is an economic subject.
The people of the South admit the soundness of the principle when
they ask for protection for peculiarly southern products, such as
sugar, rice, tobacco and peanuts. Since the erection of so many man
ufacturing plants in the South, the people of that section have also
become convinced of the wisdom of securing protection for their
manufactures, as well as for their agricultural products.
Hut they are inconsistent. ' '.
The platform of the Democratic party says: " We reaffirm the
.traditional policy of the Democratic party in favor of a tariff for
revenue only."
And the South will vote the Democratic ticket,
l The South, too, is dry all dry; bone dry made so by state enact
ment - before the federal prohibition amendment was adopted.
And the South' swili vote for Cox, knowing that he is wet, and
that his nomination was forced by Tammany and other powerful wet
interests. . : 1 '" '-.'-
, The only way the South may be sure of protection for her agricul
tural and manufacturing interests is to cast its lot with the party
which believes m protection to all American industries ; whose "tra
ditional policy" is against the principle of a tariff for revenue only
which is the shibboleth and camouflage of the free traders
which means free trade; which, is responsible for the tariff law
on the statute books now, that gives so large a measure of free -trade
that It is daily becoming a more frowning menace to American pros
perity; '-'" '-v V. :.-Vi y :'
The South is vitally interested in protection, and 4he South can
be 6ure of protection only through a Republican administration In
every department of the federal government
"With a Republican President, . - -
And a Republican cabinet,
And a Republican Congress- !"--: '
, -And Republicans on guard in" every custom house and appraising
'office, to enforce the law ' . . - - - '-

For even a thorough going protective tariff law may be largely
nullified by 'unfriendly officials at the custom houses. :
In larger matters of patriotism, the South has doneP splendid ser
vice; in the Spanish-American war; in the world war. Hut in politics
she is so bound up with her traditional sectionalism, that she stand
in her own light and anars selfish and craven in ways that are
discreditable to her great sons ami daughters who stand out as true
Americans, with many of the finest traditions of this country; un
tainted by the reactionary and 'hide-bound foreign ideas and elements
found in larger or smaller measure in many'other sections of the
country. - j
It is high time the South became ashamed of her politics.
"You cannot take a dollar to
heaven with you says the preacher.
Will somebody please tell us what
we can do with It here on earth?
The value of competition Is Indi
cated already, although but a short
time has passed since the railroads
were turned back to the people that
own them. Cheap excursions are
advertised In many parts of the
country and the people are getting
the benetit ot the reduced rates.
Pictures ot the Harding home In
Marlon and ot the Coolldge semi
detached cottage tn Northampton
will make core votes tor the Repub
lican ticket this tall than all of the
oratorjl cast to the tour winds. To
millions ot people the plain home
life ot the Republican candidates Is
the real symbol ot Americanism.'
Harding and Coolldge each live In
an old-fashioned house in a country
town.
A recent estimate shows that In
the nineteen months ot the war the
number of actual deaths was 47.949.
During the same period there were
killed by accident in this country
126.000 persons. Appropriating the
words of the. women of Israel who
sang, "Saul has-slara his thousands
and David his ten thousands," so
might we say. "War has slain its
thousands and accident Its ten thou
sands." The most of the accidents
might have been prevented by cau
tion. : '

Sheridan ot 'gentlemanly.' though
he allowed It to be wrong." Lady
Holland's objection to "gentleman

shared by many of her contempor
aries. Coming to more recent times
we find Canon Ainger protesting
strongly against the use or the words
'cultured" and "talented" on the
ground thai "both are sham par

from substantives.' Manchester

The strong churches today are the
churches that have applied the prin
ciples that lead to success in secu
lar affairs. " The. practical side does
not expel the spiritual; consecration
and enthusiasm are more likely to
be found where the church is con

HOW WORDS GROW.

" 'Swank': is not a word to use in
this court," a London magistrate
told a solicitor last week. Yet in
course of time even the fastidious
may come to use it without wincing.
Less than a century ago many pur
ists objected to the word "constitu
ency." ! KUcaulay relates that In
speaking to Lady Holland he ex
pressed a wish that "it had been
