This absence o? factionalism ls au encouraging sign and can be interpreted surely un an evidence of returning sanity In South Carolina politics. Coat-tuil swinging us a fine art is falling into decay. More and more the voters aro turning to aspiring can didates and unking them very plainly, "What are your qualifications?" and not "Who are you for?" The public want? service. The public demand* ability and character In Its servants. The public mensures a man by what he can do for good and not by what ho can do in the way of stirring up strife. Yes, there was harmony In abun dant measure throughout South Caro lina on Monda; -except tn Newberry snd Anderson. In those two cuant?e? factional lines wero drawn as tightly as the strings of a fiddle, and the re sulting sound was a crash of discords Will the test for public office in An derson county this summer be "Whose coat tall are you swinging to?", or will lt be, "Aro you a fit man for the of fice you seek?" If we mistake not. the voters of this county would like to bury factionalism to deep that tito only way to resurrect it would ge to go over to China and begin digging from tho other side. The vast majority of voters do not want strife. It ls always office-seek ers who stir the pools of passion in order to ride hilo nuire on a wave of prejudice. FREE HEEDS Thorn aro to be free government needs ugaln. The House baa so de rided, by nearly threo to one. Thu? a Venerable' Institution is sustained, In spite of the effortB of Congressman Walsh of Boston to abolish lt on tho ground that cougress should ?pend its time and tho nation's money "on moro sorlous things." Representa tive Candler of Mississippi, lending tho free seeders, Informed Mr. Walsh that he would think differently abott! tho seed quostlon after ho had boon In congress pu long j os.. Mr. Candler has. And moyne ho will, i Free seed has boon a popular form of patronage from time immemorial. As th* Mississippi congressman said. In ?n",?or to contemptuous remark about peddling garden seeds, "some of tho greatest statesmen In the world have distributed seeds." Instancing Tiicmni Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. It is hardly nocessary, however, to point ont that .the situation has changed since the days when lt origi nated, lt is no longer difficult for any gardener or farmer to get standard needs of good quality. Why should tho government send a citizen, on re quest, a packet of seeds th it he can buy for a few cents around the c?rnor? lt ts undoubtedly n legitimate func tion ot the agricultural department to distribute now varieties of seeds, to encourage the cultivation of foreign plants adaptable to our soil. But, as everybody knows, this Item ls but a small part of the whole. Tho ?petty graft, at least, should he abolished. PtTBIiIClTT GERMANY'S SALVATION 'Sf there ls anything that can keep Germany and tho United States from dr"!lng Into war, lt ls honest publica tion cf the facts Iii German newspa pers. 'Tho,New-York Times ventures to suggest to the German government that lt for once adopt the wise and ex cellent American practice of publici ty, and froely put bofore all tho sub jects *f tho Kaiser our last diplomata tc note, its appendix giving proof that tho Sussex was torpedoed and Presi dent Wilson's addr-rvs to congress. There ts evidence that the Berlin government has lately wanted ta mod ify Its submarine campaign and con ciliate the United ?States, but that it feels Its hands tied by public opinion. The nitration is peculiar. Prom the first, there has been ti strict censor ship of the news tn Germai?*. The nation hos been told only1 such facts, and told them ia only such a way, aa ibo governing group considered prop er. As a. result the nation, originally disposed to be friendly and reason able in disputes with Che United States, has been played upon until it believes in tho Von Tirpltx pol loy. ol terror and ls convinced that Ameri cans oro Us voluntary enemies.. The government has raised a force ot pre; judkiei which H finds, it.hard to quell. But there ls hope ever.; yet The mind-.of tho German - nation must be '??MU open to perceive , at least some .'?! $|ppf?*8^ ' our position . und to realize some of the truth in the urruignnient that PrussIaniBm han been subjected to before the judgment bar of mankind. Does the German government duro to give it u chance?. Or will lt, lu sheer stubbornness, sac rlfice the nailon further and invile lis own ruin?

The graduates were Mies Grace Coleman of Cedar Springs. S. C., graduating in piano, and Mlas Jeanne Perry of Greenville, tho voice graduate. Miss Perry opened the progrnrh with the Ar'a O Thou Beloved (Purlde c.' Elena) by Gluck. Shh sang two oth er groups of songs splendidly select ed to Ehow thc range of her charmin?: voice. The piano recital by Miss Grace Coleman was equally worthy of praise "he played' the Bendel Suite-am Confer See., Op. 139; Liszt's Concert Etudo In D Flat, and two exquis-13 Chopin selections, Impromptu. F. Sharp Major and Scherzo, C Sharp Minor. Miss Coleman's performance showed-combination ot technical skill and artistic temperament.
