Tin: Titi TH Aiiorr MANNING The undercurrent of criticism of Governor Manning seems to bave suent Its force, und there is now au evident disposition among those who opposed him to Judge him according to whet he has accomplished during hlfl administration so far. This paper is in no sense a purtisan of any pub lic official, but lt? policy is to give praise whore priai* Is due and to of fer criticism where criticism should he directed. If Governor Manning had made no mistakes, he could hardly be human. The wisest slutesman and thc most liar-seeing man In public position can not help occasional orrors of Judg ment, hut as long us the good of the state lb the controlling motive of ac tion no harm or injustice can be done. The pr acnt administration, sup ported hy a general assembly that ranks well with the hest of legislative bodies in many years, has mado a de cided step forward in material prog ress and reform for the good of tho state. Constructivo legislation in South Carolina has been held back by reactionary forces for a long time, but a chango has como and thc peo plu are ready and demand of their servants that they do something worth while. The Important constructive legis lation that was passod ut the last ses sion of thc legislature mnkes quite an attractive program ot reform meas ures for a start. Hero are some of them: An act establishing a state tax com mission. The purpose of this law is to equalize tho burdens of taxation so that they may fall equally and with out discrimination upon our people. Tax assessments aro grossly unequal, some classes of property paying ten times as much as other kinds of prop erty, and tho effort is being mado to overcome thlB and put all property on exactly thc samo footing. An act putticg compulsory educa tion into force In the school districts that desire it. This reform begins with the idea that the pcopiu of each school district, knowing local condi tions and understanding their own peculiar needs, should have tho right to say whether or not they desire school attendance to bo compulsory. It ls a good beginning, and will lead eventually to a statewide act that can be onforccd because the people will respect the law and Bee that it ls car ried out. An act regulating primary elections. This law ls broad and liberal, denying to no whito man tho right to voto, but seeing that elections are safeguarded and protected against abuse and fraud. An act creating a state board of charities. The purpose of this law la to afford better treatment to the un fortunates In our asylums and penal institutions. The treatment of pris oners especially has been primitive, and in some cases barbaric, and the possibility of reclaiming the convicted man and giving him a new start in lifo when his term ls up has been glv i little attention herctoforo In thlp state. This board can do great things for tho public good, and lt has certainly mado a Ano start. An act placing the asylum for the insano upon a sound business and hu manitarian basis. The asylum han been the football ot politics in South Carolina for a long time, and a condi tion of inefneietfey, extending over many yours, has brought tho institu tion far down the scale ot good man agement The new act is designed tc Improve, if not to. revolutionise condi tions, and the work that has already been done under the new board ot regents ls proof positiv^ that waste of money ls going to be prevented and that the brat possible results will be obtained. These are loading reforms. Others wll* follow, in the way perhaps ot a workablo system ot rural credits, a warehouse system that will reach the small producer aa well as the lsrge ono, and other measures for the re lief and progress ot the working and producing man. Unofficially, Governor Manning act ed as arbitrator in the strlko of the Columbia street railway men, and tba successful manner in which he handl ed the situation thowH that he has a Just appreciation ot the relations that exist between employer and employee ead that he understands, from the standpoint of sympathy and mutual interest, the problem and tri?is ot the man who tolls. If devotion to duty, If plain com mon sense in the administration of the state's affairs, ff aa unselfish de sire to do In all things what ls best for the state, if practical ability and unspotted character count for any thing in the governor's chair-if these things, indeed, are qualities that ought to go with the office of chief e.vocutlve. then Mr. Manning la a good governor and i? entitled in all re spects to public confidence and sup port. TJ1K WAYWARD (J I KL It I? u nacl ?onunentnry on our 1? g Islatlvc bodies dial KO little bas been . done for the wayward girl. Years ORO in tili? ?tate a reformatory wan establlalied at Florence for wayward boys, and lite institution ls doing ?<. ? great work In strengthening and' building up character In its weak and yielding places. Boys arc Riven man- t uni training, they aro taught useful occupations, and above all a supremo effort ls made to stir Into vigorous Ufa the good ?iiinlltlcH that havo lain ( dormant through Idleness, viciousness or improper attention at home. , The wayward girl haB few friends. ( She is an outcast, and site knows it from the minute sho makes her first step in the path of Bin. The Injustice of her treatment, the burning shame of it. Iles in the fact that back of her conduct, and usually the cause of lt. ls the wayward man. And yet such aro the Btundards of Hoddy and such Is tho warped sense of Justice in men i that tho erring boy ls Invariably pro- ; vlded for first, though the young wo man is entitled to first consideration 1 because she is not primarily at fault and because tho larger Interests of society demand that thc mothers of tho race be Bhlclded ft om evil In fluence that undermine character. There ls now pending beforo the general assembly of South Carolina a bill to establish a reformatory school for incorrigible girls, and there ap pears to bo little doubt of its pas sage now that the state at large has been brought face to face with the dangers that beset wayward girls and with the Injustice of treating them as outcasts. No better reforming in fluonco than genuine interest and friendship, extended through state aid and expressed in individual efforts to roach these girls and make twice born women of them, can bc given this unfortunate class of our people. With thc stato hoard of charities and corrections to uupervlsc the work of reformation along intelligent and hu manitarian lines, there ls a better day coming for thc wayward girl whom society has forced to walk friendless and alone. A VICTORY OF PEACE Prcsldont Wilson's complete victory over German military autocracy is the ono real important step In tho , direction of world wide peace that ' has been accomplished sinco the war 1 began. Tho fruits of his victory aro sure to be lasting, and he is entitled ] to th? thanks ot a grateful nation for steering the ship of state clear of ( breakers and for maintaining the na tional honor without the shedding of a drop of blood. History will glvo him a high credit mark for an achieve ment that rcquirod exercise of bal anced justice, wisdom, patience, pat riotism and statesmanship of a rare order. ', With the passing of this ominous war cloud passes all danger of war with a foreign country. A president of less firmness, of less regard for the true spirit of national honor and national welfare, might have plunged tho United States into a long and costly war. The principles of peace with honor and of a humanitarianism as broad ss tho world itself have been preserved, and to President Wilson the neutral nations especially owe a debt'of gratitude for what he has done for them as well as for his own coun try. THE END IN MEXICO After three years of continuous 1 warfare, in which intrigue, treachery and assassination have pursued their destructive course unchecked, bleed- 1 lng Mexico seems to be entering on ; the lsst isp of her Journey towards : peace. 1 Recognition ot the constitutionalist i party, led by Carranza, as the de 1 facto government In Mexico, has been ng reed upon unanimously by the Pan American conference, and this will be 1 extended by our government within a ' fortnight. It ls expected to have a wholesome moral effect In Mexico and i draw most ol the warring elements to 1 Carranza. United States and Latin American : dlpomats are satisfied that Carranza ? dominates the country from a military i point ot view and that he is in a ? position to establish a stable govern- ; ment. Mr. Lansing has. received as- 1 suranccs from the "first chief" that 1 foreign Uvea and property will be pro tected and that there will be no policy j of vengeance and oppression carried < out against those who have opposed ; bia struggle for national Ind?pen- ; dence. There is one decided rift within the 1 late, however? In the attitude of Villa, who boastfully dalma that he will en ter Sonora with 40,000 men and that arrangements have been made fdr a campaign that will surprise thc world. Villa maintains that Carrau/u rep losentH the money interest? and not lite poor people. '.i the beginning of the struggle in Mexico. Uie righting chiefs of the va rious clans and factions loudly as serted that they were engaged in a righteous movement against thc apo dal interests who owned most of thc land and who ground the poor under Hie wheels of a sort of political and social steam roller. Wlia? Mexico needs is a re-dintrlbutlon of Uie land mnong those who havo never had thc privilege of owning it, for only thus can real national progress and na tional unification be accomplished, but tlic trouble now is that th^se very leaders havo forsaken their Ideals, If, Indeed they ever really had 'them, ind aro fighting for glorification of ielf and for the lust and spoils of power. A BLOW TO THE AM.IFS The unexpected turn of events in thc Balkan states, resulting in thc change of front by Bulgaria, ls per haps the worst blow the allies have received since tho war began. Had Greece not abandoned-the policy of lier treaty obligations to Serbia and ber interests as a nation demanded, she would have promptly entered tile war at Uie same timo with Bulgaria but as an antagonist bf her one time ally. Thus the two armies, about equal in strength, would have on et each I other and left tho remainder of the clashing forces more equal In num bers and fighting ability. Tho Dardanelles campaign has not been very bright with promise of ul timate success. The allied forces have scarcely more than a toe hold on thc narrow peninsula, and unless a largo supply of fresh troops 1B sent to the relief of those already there it is doubtful if much further progress can be made. Tho entrance of Bulgaria will de flect the movement of troops to tho Serv?an front where they will be Im mediately needed, and altogether thc prospect now facing the allied powers in the East has developed into a gravo and oerlous crisis. The allies will win out, some time and ic some way, but the bloody lane now stretching before them runs In a straight line of hardship and deadly struggle and shows ss yet no sign of turning.

One of the big things that helps or stops your progress is your peroona? appearance. It is not the outside that makes the man. But it is the outside that people see. Unless they know you intimately, the outside is all they see. The eye is the great message bearer to the brain. 1 'Seeing is believing," they fay. When a stranger comes to you. you look at him-you aize him up, you form your opinion of him through what you see. Neat, correct, and unusually good apparel suggests self-respect, self confidence and success. And it brings these things to the wearer. Though often confused, there is an immense difference between solid, dignified good appearance and flashy novelty. To "dress up" requires not merely anew suit - it requires a good suit. That is why we urge you to Dress Up in genuine B-0-E Quality Suit and Overcoat. . 0 And the showing to which we urge that you come is the broadest we've ever invited you to-broad in patterns, in value, in prices, in sizes..
