NO POLITICS FOR (THESE AGENTS Farm Demonstration Workers Must Keep Out of Partisan Lines This Summer Special to The Intelligencer: i 'tenison Coiiuje, April ?.-1 mi i m - j Hons for their guidance during tho I approaching political campaign are contained in a letter that has been [sent to every demonstration agent in South Carolina by W. W. Long, state agent of demonstration and superin tendent of the extension division of Clemson college. South Carolina ag ents are to play no patt In the cam paign other than to vote. They are to refrain from discussing politics, and from doing anything which might b? construed as pernicious political activity. Mr. Long's letter, which clearly defines his petition in this matter, ls as follows: "There is a matter of special im portance to which I desire to direct your attention. I am sure you will appreciate my motive in so doing. By your splendid record of valuable and patriotic service you justly occu py a high place in the respect and tmOdence of the peupla jr ou. are uer my ambition, and 1 feel -atim M. JJ tiewinriaT?''^ can be accompitshed only by faith ful nug Unselfish service and a strict attention to public duties. "There will be In South Carolina this Bummer a political campaign. The only part we should play is that expected of every good citizen, to rsi*. My suggestion Is that we re frain from diecuasing politics, ca pee lal I y In public places. "I shall feel lt my painful duty to recommend the removal of any ag ent who becomes an. offensive parti san. This great organization will be of value to thefistate only so long ss our people are qfnvinced that lt ls en tirely removed from politics, and that avery agent receives his appointment solely because of merit, and without ! regard to political Influences or af filiations."

HEARINGS BEGUN OH TOLLS REPEAL SENATE CANALS COMMITTEE OPEN FIFTEEN DAY PUB LIC DISCUSSION REPUBLICAN SPOKE I -. ! Lodge Center of Senate Attrac tion-Logically Advocated Repeal of Tolls (By Associated Press) Washington, April 9.-Hearings on the Panama tolls exemption >'<>pcal bill opened today before thc senate canals, committee, but interul ia lia repeal ?fight was focused on the senate Itself, where Senator Lodge, veteran repub lican member of the foreign relations committee held the attention. Qi vir tually the entire membership and of crowded galleries for more than two hours, defending the position of Presi dent Wilson in Insisting upon the pae tsage of the repeal bill. The senator Bpoko without a single Interruption. He declared that, tn his opinion, the right of the, United States to exempt any of Its shipping from tolls was unquestioned under strict interpretation ot the treaty; but be cause of the delicate position ip which the country Ands Itself tn Its foreign* relation?, urged noi-partisan support of the president. At the conclusion of Senator Lodge's address the galleries broke Into applause and the vlce-presl dent's gavel pounded several minutes before order, was restored and the warning given that Senate filles'-pro hibited any display of approval or dis approval from the gallery. Senator Lodge was given the strict? est attention by hts colleague.? on both sides of tile chamber, and without re aspect to their announced view? on the I repeal struggll . elga, policy is quite another thlu?> ; I to be undertaken except for tl gravest reason. In one case w-. . throw a party leader within th? , where tbs American people alone sit in'Judgment; in tue oiher we break ?down and dtecredit the representative of the whole country in the great fo jrum of the nations of the. earth, sud .paralyse his future power and itse lf ulness in that field where he alono. I can declare and represent the policy, the honor and the dignity of the United SUtes." Delay Appears Probable.. Before the canals committee, Sena tors Norris and Thomas appeared 'to discus their propositions, the session msrklng the beginning of the fifteen day public dlscusuton, decided upon earlier in the week. It was, doubtful ttonight Just what the program ot the hearings would be for the nest few days. Representatives Of tho commer cial organisations in Pacific Costs cit ies, and New Orleans, at whose request the hearings were ordered have not arrived, and several senators who have submitted "substitutes for the Sims repeal bill intimated tods/ they had no .desire to defend their pro posals before the committee. Conse quently a delay to thwart the arrival of the commercial.representatives ap peared probable. '" Senator Norris urged upon the Com mittee his suggestion that while the exemption clause be "repealed,.tbs tight of the United sutes to make such exemptions be asserted in the repeal measure, and the president empowered to arrange-for arbitration to the dis pute on this point Senator Thomas outlined big pisa to throw open the canal to the free pas sage of all commerce. He elaborated this later tn the day lu the senate. Debate on the repeal fight, which bas occupied the senate virtually tae entire week, although senators havo' not been speaking directly to any bill, promises to continue at intervals at least until the committee reports' Ito findings. Senator J\e?yon announced during the day that ha approved the sugges IUoa of Former President Roosevelt that i tho toi Jh question be arbitrated? Senator Williams of Mississippi* agreed that the question might well bo arbitrated, and that arbitration would satisfy the "nearer consequoncea" spoken Of by President Wilson in bis repeal message. He said, however, that a canvas ot the senate a year ago showed that two thirds of the renata were not in favor of arbitration, ah4 so far art he had heard, only two; aerators opposed to repeal sssscrtc? arbitration. Preldent Wilson todcj* said ho was) more confident than ever ot the pane? ag? of the repeal b-U ?a-* i?is.% witt day bis confidence waa increased. Mr. Wilson said the animus behind some of the attacks on the MI! was obvious but he did not go Into AeUlU. Such antmus, bs said, often proved a boo uv* arang. . _^ ??BBW
