Are you aware of the fact thai The Yellow Jacket is one paper that car-, ries no whiskey ads? If laws make a state dry; then Ala- bama hss all the dry places on the map skinned a mile and a half. Why all this silence on the part of William J. Bryan? Is it possible .that he is building an air ship? j The wonder is that some; crazy. So- , cialist don't declare Socialism a remedy for the house fly. It remains for some Socialist to explain' how the world can advance by going backward. The tariff question is settled but the minds of the Democrats seem as unsettled as ever. Every calamity howler you see an spdt him on the snout. ! He's enemy to prosperity. Read' that "Knock 'em off ! the first track" subscription offer on page. Hundreds of Democrats are getting ready to break into the first party that promises them a job. If Three-Cent Tom Johnson wants to make a real hit, he should go - at once and join the -Socialists. ' ?hey are always glad to bag a has-be( n. Do Socialists ever get over it, is a question often asked. We answer that it is a species of insanity that is seldom cured.

I If you have the blues real bad as a result of political uncertainty, take a twelve-month dose of Yellow Jack ets and get cured . Put a National Democratic policy in a pipe and smoke it and you can see the picture of a Coxeyl Army in every puff. t We want to say again that an editor wno win vote ior proniDition and run whiskey ads ought to be belted bver M mm . . the head with a dead pole cat. Bill Shakespeare says: ; "Mybery loves company." But it seems like the Democratic editors are doomed to stand alone in their horrid I bellyach ing about the Payne tariff. I The New York Sun, usually as wise as an owl, has allowed the bat 3 to build in its garret. Ic suggests that the Democrats never had sue ti a chance to win as now confronts them. Customer -"Let me have a Social ist hog's head." j Butcher "All right, I'll just fcake the brains out of this one and you can have it." I Now watch peach basket hats, and two feet brims skiddoo. Paris has red a new decree that the Russian toque, sky-scraper, price from $3.98 to $1,000, must take their places. Col. Wm. J. Bryan is delivering lec- tures at the rate of two a day makin more money two to one than he wbuldl ui aw per aay as Presidents It bays some men to get beat. i About the only thing necessarV in t unng necessarv U) m R, DON LAWS, The Man Who Cut The Yellovf Jacket, and Made It Fit. entitle, a man to membership in the present day Democratic party is to be willing to say, "dam the tariff" or words to that effect. r . We should just here " like to ask what has become of the great and all- imnortant. financial miestion that the Democrats were sweating over a feJl short years ago? i j i I We are employing agents right aiuu5 . iu dcu iiui, uiuiu a.uu jwu olnnnr call T-T Gnt-i!- o n 1 t VT11 V are anxious for a snap you don't want to put off writing for particu lars. First come, first served. You can t always- depend -on Ben Tillman making a spectacle of him self. The latest is where he tried to ride on a car without a ticket and raised a racket with the conductor. You can just mark it down that the Democratic party will never win the respect of the best people of this country as long as it persists in hold ing "Red Shirt" reunions. Luther Burbank is trying to grow a melon with a handle like a Jug. This sort of thing may be done, but what consolation can j it afford a "prohibition" Democrat? At the present rate of progress in air navigation it looks as if Billy Bryan might make his 1912 cam paign in an airoplane. Just imagine the uniqueness and eternal fitness of a gas-bag riding in an air ship. It seems that Norman Mack's Monthly is cutting a mighty narrow swath if it aims to harvest the scat tered fragments of Democracy for next year. An effort is being made to prove a Chicago man insane because he once bet $10,00 on Bryan's election. We don't see any need of trying to prove anything so plain as that. We expect, every subscriber to The Yellow Jacket to want a copy of "Hot Stuph" when the campaign next year gets well under way, but you had better buy now because the edition may be exhausted before that time. Tlf 1 X. A f we uave yei 10 receive a single statement from - those j who have bought a copy of "Hot Stuph' that they are not highly pleased wjth the book. "Hot 'Stuph' contains four hundred pages of matter that hits the spot. . Those little spudless roosters who were afraid that Taft's religious views would set back the work of the Christian church a hundred years must have gotten tangled up in their own tail feathers. We dvn't see them strutting about "any more. An exchange suggests as a plank for the Democratic platform: "Re solved that the house fly be de stroyed." For Heaven's sake don't have them do that. Whatever the Democrats resolve against turns out the other way and the blasted flies would take the whole country. The Republican party on all Its leading policies has made good. It don't boast of perfection for it is human, and to condemn the doctrines nf thft Croat TJrsrnln horanco Vioi-4 are some culprits or cripples in the family would be just like condemn ing Christianity because! there was a devil among the twelve Apostles.

There must be some terrible weak places in the prohibition laws of North Carolina judging from the severe arraignment the' are getting at the hands of certain Democratic papers of the state. Stick to 'er, boys, she's the making of somebody. It is stated that Governor Haskell, the spotless executive of Oklahoma, has six attorneys employed to help him administer the affair of that state. 4 You see Democratic reform comes high, but then that Is what the Democrats voted for and wo hope they will take It" ecsy. Senator Gore says that there are ten Republican congressmen who should be returned without opposi tion. By gatlings, that's about the first time we ever heard of a Demo crat advocate sending Republicans to congress without opposition. we are frequently reminded that hour editorials would convert multi- tudes of Democrats if it wan't that th most Ingeneralljr get n.ad u bUUU UCKin lu rcuu "u Utt" fc neip me way it euccis me erring ones. Calomel nearly always makes the patient sick, but it hits the spot. K6 ust the same. It is mighty hard work to get the Idea hammered into the head of some of these Democratic Prohibition edit ors that it is wholly inconsistent and morally wrong to preach temperance and run lickker ads all at the same time. You can't get them to see It In that light: About two or three thousand years from now, when man has sufficiently advanced In the science of human brotherhood to fully appreciate and observe the laws of equality it may be that Socialism will come into its own, but at present, It fits the de mands of government and society about like a porus plaster would the bark of a mountain blackjack. The silliest grand stand play we have seen any account of is where Kicked-out-of-the-Trea8uryship Gov ernor Haskell declared be had put i it up to President Taft to stop the issuing of Federal liquor license to Oklahoma. A governor with no bet ter sense than to use such a bluff as that is too green to burn in hell with the dampers up. . We overheard a Democrat who sup ported his britches with one galus, say the other day that this dam Payne taruff law that puts taruff on a fel ler's clothes would ruin the working man. That fellow must think it will take his galus off and leave him ab olutely nothing to support his breech erloons. According to a Democratic paper, the banks in one town in South Caro lina paid out on July first, about $350,000 in semi-annual dividends and that at a time when two-thirds of the papers of that state have been howl ing about Roosevelt panic at the top of their voices. If Senator Stone has any Idea of running for President on the Demo cratic ticket after Bryan gets thru he had better mind how he slaps the nig gers around. A chicken's leg or a quarter would have fixed that darkey for twenty years. An exchange says that "The next n tut thing on the program Is to revise the Democratic party of course the re vision" will be downward.' Never give yourself any trouble about the revision, neighbor. We have one William J. Bryan engaged to look after that job every four years and he sure does know his business. When Bill completes his revision in 1916 the thing will just about fit in the vest pocket of 'Gene Debs who will then fuse all the remnants of discord together and run a champaign of the disgruntled for the last time. "v. Bryan has been jogging President Taft's memory that tho best way to elect United States senators was by direct voto of the . people. But wouldn't it be a better way for Mr. Bryan to have his own party put in better shape this plan before asking him to preach it to the people. When Dennis Flynn and Senator Gore, were candidates in Oklahoma , last year the Democrats refused point blank to place the naines of. the candidates on the ballot" Billy, had better explain a little, . Nobody expected the Democrats to bo pleased with tho tariff. They couldn't make a tariff law themselves that would satisfy their folks for fif teen minutes. That fellow who wasn't going to cut his whiskers till the Democrats re formed the tariff might cut off a few locks of his horse tall In as much as a number of Democrats rendered help to the Republican In passing the Payne tariff bill. A fellow who knows a good deal about Democracy says tliat the reason so many Prohibition Democrats fall from grace Is that they have so many troubles that they are compelled to drown some of them once In a while, like people do cats. THEIR FALSE TACTICS. What a Democratic paper won't do to try to deceive the people must be something the devil never thought of. Some of them have been announcing that a great- number of vessels ran for dear life to get into port before the new tariff law went into effect trying to create the impression, you see, that the tariff had been raised to - the hurt of the common fellow. Now If these vessels were loaded with fine wares, silks and twenty-five cent cigars, then they had come to hurry into port before the nerc. law took effect, because tho duty on such lux- wwvo ..wvu. .i rnv r T innen i-aooa n-nrn inirtiwi umii ' "w.w .wvv. Iron ore, steel rails, cotton ties, wood pulp, leather or agricultural imple ments they .would not have raced ta get into port before the law took effect, as the duty on these articles I lower then under the Dingley law. Other Dem. papers claim that the new tariff has caused the advance of wooien goous. i nai is not me case as the duty on woolens is lower now than under the Dingley act JJIG CROPS, 2I0RE WORK, IlETTER TIMES. (The Literary Digest.) A rosy picture of prosperity Is fore seen by the sentinels on the editorial watch-towers as they survey the ripening fields of grain that will in a few weeks pour their wealth into i the nation's granary- The .tremen dous yield of corn, wheat, oats. rye. ! and other crops Is expected to fill the I pockets of the farmer and the vaults of the rural banks, tax the capacity of the railroads, give work to the Idle, and reduce the cost of living by-lowering prices of foodstuffs. The. ex ceptional condition of the cereal crop moves the Chicago Post to question "how even 'Yim Hill could find any thing to deplore In the outlook;" and, paradoxically, the comparative tuea greness of tho cotton crop Is a cause for congratulation among some Southern agricultural essayists, for a scant crop means high prices. The features of thc latest Govern ment report on cereals, as summar ized by the New York Journal of Commerce, arer "First A 3,000.000.000-bushel corn crop, which has never been exceeded and has only been closely approached, namely, by the 2.927.4 lG.OOO-bushel crop of 1906. "Second A total wheat yield ex ceeding 700,000,000 bushels. This has only twice been exceeded, namely, by tho 1906 harvest of 735,000,000 and by tho 1901 harvest of 748.000,000. "ThirdAn oats crop of 1,027,000.- OOObushels, which has never been equaled." In addition the rye crop Is above the ten-year average and the pros pects are for a fair average yield of buckwheat, hay, and potatoes. The New York Press estimates that, aside from the more direct benefit to farm er and consumer, tho task of moving this giant harvest will tax the re sources of the trunk lines to tho ut most and will busy a million men in handling freight on the railways alone, exclusive of many more . cm ployed on steamers and lighters on the water and In truckage In the shipping centers. The Washington correspondent of this paper com- L&ents: "The crop analysis here shows that more grain than ever before grew to maturity in a single year in the United States already, has been har vested or is rapidly approaching ma turity. Never, except once, has there been more wheat; never before has there been so much marketable corn or so much oats. And never before have three bumper crops com to gether In the same year. Never has such a huge task confronted the rail roads, as the moving of this stupen dous harvest to market, and never have the roads been btiier prt;i.,3 for their work.. In the Middle West and ihe ?ccv west the noble wheat cron is pcclal cause. for, cossratuU: . . . the ScatUe rPoat-lntenigcnctr diets that "thD banks ia th . gTOwins districts will be ruXi.-': records for deposits before c:y " How thst tuuch-discusi ixnc,;I th ultimate consumer, is lo "7 the bcneSt Is. another cot;. : V Th!s country is not the only vt,?

' One noteworthy effect of ih? r In the cotton yield has bier, te the attentlca of. Southern r !-:;:.:;; the advantages of more iliur;,:.; crops. Thus, we read la xt : Orleans TImcs-Democrst: "The fact that Louisiana is :.. a 4O,C00fOCO-bushel corn cioj year, net only the largest ever in this state, but twice thr.i t: year, oHIdally reiortcd by s;t Department of Agriculture : -CC0 bushels.

The need for diversity in trk-l-ture as a means toward -economic and industrial icce;;. ence" for the Southern fartr.?? ;j j emphasised by the Atlanta Cor.$:r. lion which repeats these words cfti-c of Its contributors.
