KITCHIIV OW IVOItTII CAHOMiVA.
Represenfatlve Kltchln, of North
Carollna, ls evldently one of the old
fashlohed Democrats who atlll hold
that a hlgh protectlve tariff la an
economlc unwlsdom and an cthlctil
lncqulty. Ile thinka, as hls party used
lo thlnk, that tho tariff Is a "bogus"
frlend; that Its beneflta are speclous
honeflts; that Its prosperlty ls an artt
flclal prosperlty whlch docB not nearly
pay Its way; and that the alleged
"lice.t" of protectlon wlthlu hla party
ls really only a klnd of unthlnklng
frlght. domnndlng costly shclter from
fantastlc dangers- whlch do not exlst.
Ilo says, too, that Democrats who ask
pnitoctlon in the Interest of their con
stltueiirs cnn no longer attack Repub
llcans for do'lng thc samo thlng; that
they must elthcr slt ln rather awkward
idlenee whlle tho Reptibllcans are grab
hliig, or elso frankly admlt that the
Republican posltlon has nll along been
rlght. nnd tho Democratlo posltlon
has all along been wrong. Ho Is qulto
rlght In thls. When . reformers paa
slonately Inslst that tho evll they set
out to relleve Is both rlght and "neces
anry" ln their own pnrtlcular cases,
their rolatlonshlp to reform may be j
sald to be over. No one has succeeded
ln cxtylnlnlng the conduct of some of
these Democratlc Congressmon by any
iirgunient whlch commands thc assent
and approval of intelligent and dls
Interested observers.
We hear too few of such protests
against the dlssolutlon of thc Demo?
cratlc party on this staunchest and
soljdest of Its ptinciples. Tho sllence
of those who should speak has been
th*. most slgnifleaift and disoournglng
feature of tho sltuation. Yet Mr. Klt?
chln must not thlnk of hlniself as a
KOlItary EHJah crylng out by hlmselt

HOW A STATE COXVENTIOX WOULD
IIEI.P.
The demand for a State Democratlc
Conventlon, <>r (for some other means
t'> complete tho rieressary work of a
party organization, has no rolation to
any Issues ralsed or unralsed In thls
partlcular campalgn. The demand ls
entlrely unconnectcd wlth any espp
clal views as to prohlbitlon or any
thing olse. The largcr queatlon in?
voived in it Is ainipry whelher or not
the party sbould surrender its duty of
maklng plntfornis to two or three self
deslgnated candldatea.
Thls questlon Is not a new one,
olther in yirglnla or olsewhere. Some
States whero it has beon ralsed havo
answered it aflirmatlvely. They hav<j
glven the platform-maklng power to
candldites; and it ls posslble that
many Democratlc lcaders in Vlrglnia
would favor thls disposftiou of tho
niatter. The Tlmes-Dispatch does not
favor It. Thls newspapor believos that
lt Is the buslness of a party to lay
down party Issues and framo party
platforms, and not the buslness of a
few voluhteers, howcveti estlmable and
capable they may be. For transactlng
this necesary and helpful buslness, The
Tlmes-Dispatch is disposed to accept
the old delogated conventlon, at least
untll some belter jjgtrument1 ls sug
gested. ? -;-.?*?=
Tho Tlmes-Dispatch does not regard
the conventlon as an ldeal 'lnstltutton.
So far as the immedlato sltuation ls
concernad, lt ls true enottgh, as The
News Leader points out, that the hold
Ing of a conventlon mlght entall eome
risk. It la true enough that what is
known as the machlne element mlght
control and domlnate it. But If this
happens, the careless and apathetlc
suffrage whlch permits lt will get as
tnuch comfort as lt deserves. It ls
true enough that the prohlbitlon ele?
ment mlght control and domlnate a
State conventlon. But if the majorlty
of tlie Democratlc votors favor prolil
bltion, this is what ought to happen;
and if the majorlty do not favor lt, yet
are so careless and apathetic as to the
cholce of delegates that they permit
it, they will get as rhuch comfort as
they djserve. It ls true enough that
the conventlon mlght brlng on a clash
or a split within the party. But if it
does, the fault will belong to the sltua?
tion, and not to the convontlon.
A conventlon cannot 'call into belng
forces and hostlltties .whlch do not
exist. It cannot manutacture antago
nlsrns out of perfect harmony and ut
ter accord. If a conventlon would dis
close sUch hostilities and antagonisms,
It would be because these unfortunato
realltles have already developed. if
they now exlst, as they ,probubly do,
sooner or later, somowhere or some
tlme, they muat be fought out and set?
tled. lt will hardly be urged that a
party conventlon would not make a
better hattleground for such a strug
glo than a general election at tlie
polls. If there are dlficrences In the
Democratlc party whlch make It liu
posslble for itfe niembers to nssemblu
In conventlon without flghtlrig llke a
baekloi full of Kilkenny cats, tho soon?
er this nght ls settled, adjuated, heaied
o\er and I'orgottcn, the better for thc
party, KSfCecUye nnd harmonloua work
cannot ho gotten by Ignorlng wound?
and sorei ulreudy alleged to he rari

OUXly iUtlii,.nt, bj nuitt; indcpciidcnt
of these dlfterences and thla-sltuallon,
As to thla partlcular campalgn, a con?
ventlon in alrendy somewhat belnled,
It ahould have been cnlled months ago,
when the demand for lt wna flrst
volcod, and before the candldatea had
brought forward their own platforms
and lald down tholr own Ibsuch. Yet
cven at Lhia late day, the provldlng of
a conventlon, or of some aubstltute
for lt, would. be vory much worth
whlle. It Is Important for the Demo?
cratlc party to rctaln Its rlght to de
fine the party posltlon on such lasues
na there may bo, and to slgnlfy now
that It dben not mean to hand thls
rlght over. to volttntary appllcants for
olTlce. This rlght Is both a prlyllege
and a duty. If the party la to be
frlghtened Into abandonlng lt on tho
ground that the attempt to claim it
would brlng on a row and a spllt, the
tlmidlty and feoble ineffectuallty of
Its posltlon can hardly falljfto weaken
Its hold on the growlng "timber of
voters who lntend to thlnk for them
selves.

beginning to roauze that it moves .u

and that Its "negro questlon" is not
the only one wlth whlch it has to

By clinging to the old mcthods and
old traditlons which have so long

But It all Cniue Out Higlil.
How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy healtli to a coffee fiend is
an interesting tale:
"I was a coffee fiend?a trembllng,
nervous, physteal wreck, yet cllnglng to
the polson that stole away my strength".

At piping hot Postum for my mornlng
uup of coffee but did not tell me what

and remarked llial the coffee tasted flne,
but my sister did not tell me I
was drinking Postum for fear I mlght
