Jiold your nose, and let the verifica tion proceed. It is said that a Columbia editor is in training for the congressional risce in the seventh district next year, .'provided Congressman Lever enters -the senatorial race. It is a great pity that Felder, Hub Evans and the Governor can't meet .some where and settle their little trouble. Abusing one another at long ?distance has gone far enough. Woodrow Wilson is a man of good, sound t-ense, and has come into the politics of this country to stay. As we see It, at this time, he is the most ?availabie mam for the Democrats to nominate for President. The testimony of Mr. Gary, head of the Steel Trust, before the con gressional committee reveals Teddy as a trust builder and not a trust buster. But Teddy is now a has been, and we will not disturb him. The edtors arrived in New York on Tuesday well and hearty. They are now doing the town between banquets, several of which have been tendered them. ' Everyone in the prrty is having a deliii?itful time. The schools and colleges are about over wi:h their commencements, and we have agatra with us the buoyant, happy .boys and girls. May not a shadow roll across their path during the vocation. The Greenville Daily Piedmont, published by Mr. Geo. R. Koester, is a bright, newsy paper. One that Greenville should be proud of. and no doubt is. The Piedmont is one of the best of the evening papers in this State. Why 3hould not an editor be elect ed occasionally to congress? We feel sure they would be a very great Improvement on many who are sent there. Besides, editors are entitled to some consideration for the hard work they do free for the people. The Charleston Evening Post says "There is a man in Charleston who was so delighted with the rain last night that he voluntarily carried everyone of hfs wife's sixty-three potted plants into the yard to be watered, and lent his new umbrella to his daughter's beau." Charleston was not the only place that had that kind of a man. Col, August Kohn was unrelent ing in his efforts to make the mem bers of the press gang have a good time at their recent meeting in Co lumbia. That he succeeded in doing so is the unanimous testimony . of every one who attended the meeting. The colonel is one of the few people who always succeeds in accomplish ing what he undertakes. 'Messrs A. E. and W. E. Gonzales, of the State, and Jas. A. Hoyt, of the Record, and all the other newspaper folk oi" Columbia, have laid the mem bers of the State Press Association under renewed obligations to them for their many kind attentions dur ing the meetiag of that body in their city last week. May they all live long and continue to prosper. There will be no trouble about ?Bryan supporting Wilson should he .be nominated for President by the Democrats. Whatever little differ ences may come up between them will not be serious, and we expect to see these two Democratic wheel horses pulling together for the suc cess of the Democratic ticket, who ever may be nominated. The meeting of the State Press Association in Columbia was one of the most pleasant and successful we ever attended, and we have attend ed a good many of its meetings. The good people of Columbia did all they could to make our stay in their beau tiful city interesting, and we feel that they succeeded far beyond their expectations. Columbia is. not only a city of the square meal, but a city of genuin*! unostentatious hospital ity. The stranger that finds himself within her gates is indeed fortunate. Columbia has a good baseball team this year, but it went up against a comb nation on Friday afternoon that would beat any. team that ever existed. It was more than a match for the team against which it was pitted on that afternoon, but the umpire brazenly stole the game from Columbia and gave It to Albany in the presence of several hundred peo ple. No such man as that umpire should be allowed to disgrace a field where manly sports are carried on, let alone being made the supreme arbiter of the games. Let us be thankful that there are few such men as Derrick umpiring friendly contests between their fellow men. What is to Be Don?? There Is no doubt in our mind that when it comes to letter writing, Col T. B. Felder, of Atlanta, is more than a match for Governor Blea.se and Col. Hub Evans put together. Col. Feld er's latest contribution to >.he dispen sary literature of the times is about as caustic and highly colo.'ed as his opening epistle to the Governor when that official first ganre out the "T. B." letters, and attributed them to the eminent graft bunter from Atlanta. In his latest epistles Col. Felder uses language and hurls chal lenges that should not be warranted in civilized society, but, a3 the Char leston Post suggests, he v.ould prob ably plead that he is not dealing with conditions of civilization. * Col. Felder has accused the Gov ernor of South Carolina oi' low crimes and has characterized him in un speakable terms, and he has chal lenged the Governor to seek satisfac tion either in personal vombat oi through suits for libel. All of which may be permitted to go tor what It is worth?which is probably very lit tle. But Col. Felder, in his latest "open letter" produces exhibits also ?or, at least, alleged exhibits? these being the form of two letters signed "Cole," which he says were written by the Governor of South Carolina when he was a Senator from Newberry county, and these letters hint at traffics in dispensary affairs not sanc tioned .by the law. The "T. B." let ters are matched by the "Cole" let ters. They all indicate fraud on the part of the writers of fhem. The question to be solved in the whole matter is what is Jo be done about it? The Governor is hardly expect ed to join in mortal combat with his enemy, as Col. Hub Evans seems perfectly willing to do. But, as our Governor prides himself on being a record breaker, why should he not sue Col. Felder for libel i.u the courts of Georgia, and thus vindicate his good name. This course might not be open to an ordinary Governor, but would be all right in the case of one who poses as a record breaker. As the Charleston Post says, It would certainly be a satisfaction to all right thinking citizens of the State if Col. Felder .could be ?hown to ,be without warrant for his allegations against the good name of Governor Blease. t Tore Off the Mask. Can the Lumber Trust and the Pa per Trust defeat reciprocity in the name of American agriculture? That is the issue before the senate, and President Taft defined if. admirably in his Chicago speech a few days ago. The opposition to reciprocity comes, as Mr. Taft said, from three classes. One class is made up of "those who own and control the lumber sup ply of the United States.'" Another class is made up of "those who are engaged in the manufacture of print paper and of whom the largest manu factures own much of the spruce wood supply of the United States from which print paper is made." The third class is made up of per sons who pretend to represent the farmers, land the New York firm that is accelerating public opinion against Reciprocity in behalf of ag riculture is also looking for financial assistance from "gentlemen interest ed in lumber, in the manufacture of print paper and in other manufac tures" The New York World says it does I not .believe that even Elihu Root, who is trying to amend the bill for the profit of New York wood-pulp in terests, will venture to challenge Mr. Taft's analysis of, the opposition or that he will undertake to answer the President's speech. The formidable opposition to Reci procity comes from Lumber and Pa per, and the Senators who are hidlr t behind the farmer in their opposi i tion to Reciprocity ar. playing the game of the Lumber ' -t and the Paper Trust. Mr. Taft deserves hi : praise for the boldness and frankness with which he has met this is'-ue. If reci procity is finally defeated or if the bill is made ineffective by amend ments, the country will at least know the real reasons, for h;: has torn off the mask. Where Have They Been? As the Charleston Evening Post points out, the most striking point of similarity between the "T. B." and the "Cole" letters is their long dormancy. "Why, ' asks the Pos?., "was such material of prosecution held under secure cover for so long, instead of being put to use at con venient season? "Hub" was an of ficial of the State dispensary when the "T. B." letters art- said to have I been written, and as they made to him proposals that should have shocked and outraged :he soul of a trustee of the public interest he should have burned to bring the of fender to book. By the same token, if Col. Felder had the "Cole" let ters Ln his possession during the per iod of his activity as prosecutor for the State of South Carolina, why did he not summon their s ipposed writer before the courts or other constituted authorities of investigation to ex plain their purport or to suffer pen alty for the illegal engagements they indicate? If the new dispensary com mission is going to do anything to ward clearing up old mysteries per haps there is no greater service it can render than the establishment of the causes of neglect of these two collectons of manuscript by the re spective parties in whose keeping they have rested for nigh on to six fruitful years." Elihu Root's Adroit Mind. Said E. H. Harriman in the cele brated letter to Sidney Webster: Ryan's success in all his manipula tions, traction deals, tobacco combi nation, manipulation of the State Trust Company into the Morton Trust Company, the Shoe and Leath er Bank into the Western National Bank and then again into the Bank I of Commerce?thus covering up his tracks?has been done by the adroit mind of Elihu Root. The New York World says Mr. Ryan's Traction Trust Is in the hands of a receiver. Mr. Ryan's Tobacco Trust has just been outlawed by the United States Supreme Sourt. But the adroit mind of Elihu Root is still active. It is now seeking to amend the reciprocity bill to death for the benefit of the Paper Trust. How to Stop Them. It will be a good day when a com pulsory sentence1 ox imprisonment awaits every individual member of a trust found guilty of violating the law. At the present time most such criminals escape through the conven ience of an immunity bath or by the payment of a fine, which though in itself may,v be large, means no more to them than the payment of a dollar would mean to a poor man. As for a sense of sham<? in being convicted of breaking the law, they have none. Nothing but the fact that prison sentences and stripes await them will make them obey the law and work the desired end This is the only way to curb the trusts and make them respect the rights of other peo ple. If any man was to say about us what T. B. Felder says about Gov. Cole L. Bleasn, we would certainly give him a chance to prove them in an/ court that might be open no us. The Governor should lose no time in seeking vindication at the hands of the law. He owes this to the people of South Carolina as well as himself.
