Mr. Taft's announcement that he will make speeches in Kentucky Tennessee and Georgia is the first that has been heard of the South i a Presidential contest, which might be supposed to interest that section as much as any other. If all of the States were like those of the South there would be no campaigning, and the preliminaries to a national election would cons st only of a few listless conventions and a certain amount of sure-thing balloting in November. Mostly Democratic, the South presents no candidates in Dem- ocratic conventions and is represented by no speakers in the debatable | States of the North. Except for a few*border commonwealths, iv is : NOw_ WOULD You n s : . be ‘And now there are women who propose to add to their burdens by the addl- as well known now how the South will vote next month as it will MIN D_LOOKING AT Now Pur YouR tonal obligation of casting the ballot and engaging in Bubig atte ak sixty days henca.

There were those who denounced the invention of the spinning jenny be- use it threw so many persons out of work. There wero riote in England be- cause of {t' Because man's mechanical genius has emancipated woman from the arsher household duties and she reaches out for higher and more generally ~ aseful occupations, is it fair to ken her to a dancing dog Dr. McPhail's comparison, by the way, {s quite as old as it is ungallant. TR was Samuel Johnson who said that a woman's preaching was like a dog's wall ing on hig hind legs. You did not expect it to be done well. You were amazed to find it done at all. It {s not surprising that reactionary men from Dw Johnson to Dr. McPhail think of woman's position in the world as properly prone on all fours and classify any deviation from the pose as abnormal and ae structive. They are men born before a time when such theories could be made really remunerative. A hundred years from now the possessor of them will be such a rarity that he could with profit exhibit himself in a museum. Dr. McPhail is unique in one respect, however. No man hitherto has ob- Jected to the gilding of the cage, has sought to deprive us of the brilliant plus mage that has made captivity tolerable, {f not biissful. Others may haye in- vaded our sacred rights, but {t remained for him to attack our furbelows. And there is where the least spirited of women will regent his critictsa and flout his conclusions. We may ask for a ballot and be given a nursing bottle; we may seek to find work for the hands man’s ingenuity has made idle and be compared with party is absolutely sure, and yet it presents neither leadership nor ideas in a contest which ought to interest it profoundly. In the great game of national politics the South holds important cards, but every one of them is plainly marked. Mr. Taft’s appearance on the stump in that quarter will be an invitation as well as a challenge. It ought to end the South’s long period of isolation. It ought to spur it to action. If its Democracy is not a living faith it ghould bebandoned. If there is virility and reason behind it, why is it not influential in the councils of the party and the nation? | (ee | JEFFERSON AND CHANLER.

Dependence upon) the slow processes of legislation in that case would have been fatal. Government by commission at that time added an empire to the American union at a trifling money cost and without the loss of a single life. Properly actuated, the New York Public Service Com- missions will confer equally important blessings upon the people of this State. Why should a Democrat aseall them?
