Every body ought to think J?i?t like bo doea about every thing. And anybody who doesn't think exactly like the editor (h<>s about every thing ought not to bc allowed to have the editor's paper. Tho editor ought to cut off every subscriber who il*" . not think Just Ihe does abpukj every thing. Tho very Idea of anybody daring to disagree with the editor. The ?-d?(or know? it all. therefor?', nobody eise knows tiny thing. Perhaps, gentle reader, you arc wondering ere this If we uri- not bead ed for thc asylum. No, not exactly that; we're merely trying to B?IOW Hourn one risc- that he is headed that way. <ir ought to be. In other words, we arc arguing from thc standpoint of th?* fellow who t'oits halting the patter because he disagrees with the c?IHor'.s vh'WS. yesterday wo receivod a letter from a subscriber notifying us to stop his paper, ile told us In plain Eng lish that wo dldftU have "any brain.-? at all." untl he wasn't going to take tin- paper any longer. He eit?>?j four reasons why we didn't have any brains, and here are his reasons: (1) because we criticised William Jen nings Bryan for resigning as secre tary of state at the time he did; (2) because wo defended Governor Slaton in conunuting Frenk's sentence (which wo didn't); (3) becuuso we defended Governor Manning In offer ing a reward for thc capturo of a negro who slayed a w .te man in Ab beville county and made his escape out of tlic Siatc and didn't offer a re ward for tho slayer of the venerable Mr. Dodd when rewards aggregating $1)00 were already up nnd before thu authorities herc had been given u chance to 'show wheUior they could catch tho murderer; and (4) because Senutor .Smith "promised IB cents for cotton and at thc show down give us C and 7 cents." Now ?if those ure?vt four conclusive n anons why thc editor hasn't any brain? at alb, wo'll eat our shirt. We could take thoso same four "proofs" of idiocy and wc could prove to you that 98 perceut of tho editors In tho country and 95 percent of the intel ligent thinking people - arc without "any brains nt all." But returning to our original thought-you know there isn't room for but ono thought at a time In an editor's hoad-everybody ought to think like tho editor does about every thing. No ono lias a right to think for himself. Because the subscriber referred to doesn't agree with tit -J editor, lie stops .bis paper. . And just because this subscriber doesn't agree with thc editor he cannot have tho paper-unices, of course, ho recon siders and tells-us to start lt again. Newspapers aro beginning to print resumen of "Year-old War News." Lot's hope that, alongside of thc cur rent dispatches weil never road "The War Five Years Ago", or "Ten Years Ago." lt has already lasted longer than anybody thought so great a war could last, and now nobody ventures to prophesy tho end. An American attache at Shnnghal, reporting on business opportunities in China, reminds his fellow-countrymen that lhere are about 400 000,000. peo ple over thero who might be taught to chew gum. iSlnce thej garo up opium, it aeems, they crave a subsl tute tc steady their nerves. Ameri can ci^arotes havo mado considerable headway. Chewing gum would be less j harmful and might bo welcomed. The thought of 400,000.000 men, women and children all busily shewing is surely a glorious vision for our chicle companlos. But whon you como to think of lt, has anbody ever seen a Chinaman -In this country succumbing to the gum habit? PRICKS AFTER TUE WAR. Everybody 1s entitled to his own opinion regarding tho econon:'.cs ot the war. The professional econo mists have already been proved wrong in so many particulars that nobody has any more confidence In them, and they have litt e In ^themselves. An utterance from Dr. Slater of Oxford University, England, forecasting con ditions after the war. i ,>y therefore lack convincing power. Lot it ts in teresting nevertheless. & , This expert declares that, contrary to the usual opinion, the war will probably be followed by no period of poverty. At least, he says, "there will be no necessity for poverty, and sueh poverty as there is wilt be due to misapplication of the productive powers which will Lc available. It will bo the poverty which comes from wasted resources, and not from inad equate resources." Prices, boosted by the war, will remain high. And "that means there wilt be a permanent readjustment ot our method*. There will have to be u permanent rise in wagea, and other permanent re-adjuHtmeuts, to meet the higher prices." Thc proper policy for the -trade un lona, hr; Hays, lu to accept the war bonuses and wage increases "not for Ihe dur.ilion of the war, hut for the duration of higher prices." Thia look? reasonable. Pri?e?-ln . bidna' tho price of labor-have been rising pretty Bteadlly for ihe laut de cade or two. owing apparently to the great increase of tho gold supply, which has lowered tho intrinsic value of a dollar, nuking more dellars nec essary to buy Uie same goods. It la evident that the war ls using up tho world'? destructible weulth at a tre mendouK rate. But the gold isn't be ing destroyed, Gold and land arc two forms of wealth that are sure to sur viv?-, lu fact, after the war there will he more gold in the world than ever, while there will he leas of nearly every thing that gold buys-?Includ ing labor. Why, then shouldn't abe sumo old law work, with still great er effectiveness, raising higher tho pri?es of the necessaries of life? This theory has u practical inter est to all creditors, including sub scribers to government bonds. Ob viously, if prices are going to go up and stay up. tho money they have loaned will bo worth less when they get it back, becauso lt will buy less. The envied creditor is UIUB ait a dis advantage, and tito long-term debtor wtins. There should be some comfort in that to those who owe money, and to statesmen who feel the recpousi bllr-ty of the tremendous national debts their governments aro assum ing. It in possible, however, that this future cheapening of money <B al ready discounted in tho abnormally high rates of interest the belliger ents have to pay to float their war Is- ! sues. As far as the average man ls con cerned this forecast doesn't seem to indicate much change In bis situa tion. He may be a little wor?e off, becauso bis higher wages may bc eat on up by Ht?l higher prices und taxes. It's reassuring to hear that 400.000 horses and mules sold io belligerents in the past year have not been our best stock, it would be criminal to sell first-class animals for the fate that they're B?ro to find at the hattie front. Although, when you come to thing of it, maybe lt's JuBt aa criminal to send first-class men there. CERTAINLY, ENGLAND DID IT! It seems strange that Dr. Oswald Flamm's explanation of the Lusitania disaster has received so li.tu- cred ence outside of Germany. Dr. Flamm (whoso middle name is not Fllmml hns absolutely proved, in a Berlin newspaper ithat it was 'tito British who sank thc Lusitania, and anybody who rejects lila reasoning is incap able of logic, of is unneutral at heart First, hr proves lt by abstract rea soning, hugland cauBed thc sinking nf tito Lusitania because that would have been a natural thing for her to do. "She had the very greatest In-' terest in causing thc loss of a really important ship, with simultaneous de struction of numerous American lives, by a German submarine." England knew, of course, that thero would be an ultimatum from Washington and England would ?gain American moral support or even i American participa tion in tho war. So England plotted deliberately to bring thc Lusitania within range of a German submarino and made it as easy as possible for thc subuanine to torpedo her. Dr. F mm reinforces this conclu sion wi:h an argument based on cir cumstantial evidence. The "abject un scrupulousness of the English gov ernment" ls shown by the fact that tho well-built Lusitania sark "with in (the incredible space of twenty minutes. "After a careful analysis of the ship structure and the whole situation, he concludes that the dis aster was caused not by the German torpedo 'that hit the Lusitania, but by a second explosion, "srtldcially and intentionally caused by some paid Individual on board for the purpose ot insuring the certain destruction of the vessel." And isn't it possible, too, that Eng land ls deliberately plotting against Germany by always having women and children where they will be kill ed by the bombs dropped by the Zep pelin airships? Oar national debt ls only two-thirds of one per cent of our national wealth, and only $11 per capita. It's already the smallest debt In proportion to our wealth a&d population of any Impor tant nation In she world. The only reason why we have any debt at all ts that* lt's useful aa the baals of our banking system. Even If lt should have to be doubled or trebled because ot emergencies created by. Mie war, we'd attil be in tar better shape than 4 any oilier power belligerent or neu tral. EQUAL PAY FOB KW AL WORK. The State of Illinois has derided that a piece of work done for lt hy a woman 1B worth Just as much as tho same piece of work done equally well hy a man. Any rational and disin terested ?niluan being would probably say that tho fact is self-evident, but very few communities in America, or anywhere else, have yet recognized it. Meginnlng September 1, all women employees of the ?State will receive the samo pay as men doing th?vsamo class of work. This step, derided on by tho State 'board of administration, affects directly 3,500 employees and in directly some 20,000 warda in State in stitutions. It is regarded as an act of simple Justice. "There is no reason," ex plains the president of ibo board, "why a woman nurse in a State In stitution should not receive as high wages as Ute men attendants for tho same class of work." It is the same view taken In New York when that city broke tho ancient, unfair rule by paying women teachers the sanie salaries that men teachers received for the same services. Ifs all a part of the big question of ' democracy. If a woman ls paid less i than u man for doing thc same work. ?simply because Bbc's a woman, then thc sex Is in a state of serfdom, ex ploited by man to Hie extent of the difference In wages. If this is really a democracy, and women aro people, then men and wo men should have equal opportunity to earn a living, competing in busi ness and Industry on thc same basis and being paid according to their earning power. A LINE o' D O P E Mr. Joseph C. Barbol, clerk of city council of Charleston, is spending his vacation In Anderson, the guest of Dr. and Mrs. C. S. Broedln. in North An derson.

When Mr. Barbot gave up his position with the Evening Post ho was succeeded by L. M. Glenn then city ...editor of the Greenville Daily News, and now edi tor of The Intelligencer.

He is a cultured and a polished gentleman and an excep tionally entertaining conversationa list Ills long association with pub lic affairs gives him a knowledge of Charleston political and economic history that ls equalled by but few people. He became connected with thc Charleston Evening Post when it was founded and remained with it continuously for a score of years. At the time he resigned be was Gie only person connected with the publication that could claim this distinction. Frhmds lu Anderson of Col. John C.
