6 The New (Savoyard, in Columbia State.) Whenever or wherever revolution, violent or tranquil, has a task to do for the common weal of a people, the man to work it appears when the hour comes. Hence Alfred the Great. William the Silent, Oliver Cromwell, George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Abraham Lincoln, Otto von Bismarck. Old things pass away. The new order prevails. Progress Ml i. 1 J 1 ~ ,1 "will not ue ueiiit?u. hchihiuh, however glorious and de\oted, as in the case of the Stuarts and the Bourbons, goes down in defeat. As a legal proposition there is no sort of doubt that the British parliament had the right to tax the 13 American colonies to pay the cost of the Seven Years war. that was waged in our hemisphere in their behalf. But the proposal was in defiance of a British sntiment?"no taxation without representation," and we had the successful rebellion that Washington led. Again, there is no room to doubt that American slavery was as firmly entrenched in the constitution of the United States as any of those things the Hon. Bailey says are there now, but a time came when the constitution was at war with the public conscience, and the constitution had to go ,vhen Abraham Lincoln appeared and headed the revolution of 1861. And some of those things the Hon. Bailey talks about will have to go?indeed, a few of them have already gone. In the February number of The World's Work Woodrow Wilson has a paper on the new i evangel that explains his posi- \ tion precisely. He tells us that j Alexander Hamilton was a very ^at man, and so he was. Set j ^ at work with a pen. ink and p^ifer, and as a political controversialist the English-speaking | peoples have not produced his | match. Here is what Wilson ; says about him: "A great man, but, in my 1 judgment, not a great Ameri-i can. He did not think in terms I of American life. Hamilton believed that the only people who could understand government, and therefore the only people who were qualified to conduct it, were the men who had the biggest financial stake in the commercial and industrial enterprises of the country." We all know that during the campaign for the Baltimore nomination a certain newspaper in New York, chief of the "yal-j lers," stupidly or knavishly, or, rather, stupidly and knavishly, i denounced Wilson as a "Hamiltonian," because in his writings ; he had recognized and acknowledeged the transcendant capacity of Alexander Hamilton, while repudiating all his doctrines of political philosophy. * e Mr. Wilson deplored the fact, that nobody denies, that the idea of Hamilton has prevailed in our governmental politics for many years, and that desnifp the esireer anH the i<lp;e< of r***' ? ?? Abraham Lincoln, who was. as far removed from the aristocrat as the east is from the west, or Lazarus from Dives. But the Republican party ceased to be a Lincolnite long ago and became servilely Hamiltonian, which idea is this: That the masses need the guardianship of "men of affairs." And the following from Mr. Wilson challenges the thought and the patriotism of every honest man: "For, indeed, if you stop to think about it, nothing could be a further departure from origi Ji<ii ninri 11 l I 'Mil i <iii II ill the ability of a confident, resourceful and independent people than the discouraging doctrine that somebody has got to provide prosperity for the rest of us. And yet that is exactly the doctrine on which the government of the United States has been conducted lately. Who have been cc isulted when imporant measures of government like tarifF acts and currency acts, and railroad acts, were under consideration? The people whom the tarilF chiefly af fects, Ih people for whom the currency is supposed to exist, the pcoj W* who pay the duties and ride on the railroads? Oh, no. Wh.it do they know about such matters? The gentleman whose ideas have been sought are the big manufacturers, the bankers and the heads of the 1 - -T> Evangel ? t great railroad combinations, d The masters of the government J of the United States are the c combined capitalists and man- v ufacturers of the United States, i It is written over every inti- r mate page of the records of e Congress; it is written all 1 through the history of confer- p ences at the White House, that i the suggestion of economic t policy in this country have v come from one source, not from f many sources; the benevolent t ? ? - i. ?i i ^ f guarcuans. me n.iuu-iie<ii l*-vi ?. trustees, who have taken the \ troubles of government off our t hands have become so conspicu- \ ous that almost anybody can write out a list of them. They lj have become so conspicuous t that their names are mentioned t upon almost every political plat- 1, form. The men who have un- a dertaken the interesting job of p taking care of us do not force c us to require them with anony- g mously directed gratitude. We > lj know them by name." | a t And when this man has been b called to a job as big as that set t before Washington or Lincoln a has this to say of that voiceless p majority of whom he has writ- n ten so eloquently: li "I tell you the men I am in- i n terested in are the men who. j t under the conditions we have ; had, never had their voices t heard, who never got a line in F the newspapers, who never got a a moment on the platform, who F never had access to the ears of r govei nors or presidents or of , F anybody who was responsible ? for the conduct of public affairs.' c but who went silently and na- j c tiently to their work every day carrying the burden of the 1 derstood by the masters of fi- t nance if only the masters of fi- c nance are consulted ? ' 1 "That is what I mean when I t say. 'Bring the government i back to the people.' " , t t Which is to say that our f tariff taxes for 50 years have > been levied by the men who are i benefited by taxation, and the i time has come when such taxes shall be laid by the people who 1 are oppressed by taxation. As i \in original and honest proposi- 1 tion taxation is a hardship en- ' dured by a people for the sup- 1 port of their government?a 1 necessary evil. But as our tariff i taxes have been imposed, they < are an advantage to a small I class?the manufacturers?who reap the harvest, golden and I abundant, from taxation which : is baneful per se even to them, , I if honestly and constitutionally : perpeiuaioa. < I wish you could see that soil of opulent beggars now before Oscar Underwood's committee, swearing by all the gods that < made Rector that they will ' -tarve if made to do business in | competition with somebody else. Wood row Wilson has a task as big as as difficult as that undertaken by Washington and Lincoln He has the mind for it, the heart for it. and 1 am joyful in the hope and belief that he has the hand for it, too. SOI TH CAROLINA NEWS. Charlotte Daily Observer broadens Its News Service to Cover the Two Carolinas. The Charlotte Observer has recently added another feature to its already splendid news service. It will hereafter give the news of South Carolina, jlist as it ha? the news of North Carolina, it will have a special correspondent at Columbia to i cover all the news of the capital and the state and then in all towns of importance in South | 'Carolina a correspondent will look after the interests of The Observer. For years The i Charlotte Daily Observer has1 had the strongest news gather- j ing organization between' Washington and Atlanta and! j this new move in giving a full I news service i;i South Carolina) will make The Observer the most popular paper in the two Ca rolinas. ! frh#> nninf of infftrnui will appeal especially to the people is that The Observer I will give all the news wit hout color or favoritism to anyone. The Charlotte Observer has ; taker another Ion# step to a i greater success. But a really clever woman is too clever to show it. . ( THE LANCASTER NEWS INFLUENCE OF GOOD ROADS F It is seldom that the gospel Ji ?f good roads finds a more libmi or trenchant expression han in the recent inaugural adIress of Governor Sulzer of d< 'Jew York. The economic value S >f well-built and well-kept high- S vays is taken for granted, but t is doubtful that their inti- T nate and far-reaching influtnce upon the civic and social 11 ife of the people is yet duly ap- P >reciated. When we have meas- ^ ired the benefit of a good road 11 o the farmer and the merchant e: ve have still to gauge its maniold blessings to the school and " he home and its ministrations v o the higher needs of men. It h vas this phase of the subject ? hat Governor Sulzer illumined Ci vhen he declared: "We know that good roads, |T ike good streets, make habita- ll ion along them most desirable; , hey enhance the value of farm a i> n/Io f iKiilif nf n P ?i t + ture, always. So only can our | days possibly be bound "each ~ to each by natural piety." 1 wonhl not for the world think that twenty years hence I should have ceased to see the ] things which I see now. and love them still. It would make * life wearisome beyond expression if 1 thought that twenty i years hence 1 should see them . just as I see them now, and \ love them with no deeper love ] because of other visions of their , lovableness. And so there | ] comes this deep and simple rule I' for any man as he crosses the ' line dividing one period of his , life from another, the same rule i which he may use also as he passes Ihrough any critical oc- 1 currence of his life: Make it a time in which you shall realize . your faith, and also in which you shall expect of your faith new and greater things. Take 1 what you believe and are, and hold it in your hand with new firmness as you go forward; , look on it with continual and i confident expectation to see it open into something greater and truer.?Phillip Brooks. The Pope's Sister Dead. Rome, Feb. 12.?The Pope's i sister, Rosa Sarto, died yester- 1 day in Rome, of paralysis. She had been ill for some time.

This appraisement is no less rue than eloquent. The state b >r the county that builds good it oads is promoting not only the igricultural and the business nfprpsta nf it<; mtivpnc lint heir social and educational in-1 crests as well. There is no > i' ield of public endeavor that is worthier of a people's thought J; uid money or that repays them e more abundantly. n Surely, an enterprise that ? ies so close to the nation's com- ^ non life should receive the na- ^ tional government's support. Thus far road building has been left chiefly, if not entirely, to the individual states, and in many states, to the individual counties. The results that have been achieved are gratifying in n that they reveal an intense pop- v ular interest; but they are far ? short of what they should be i and will be when the federal c government shoulders its share !c of the task and when each of ( the state governments places its organized strength and re- sources behind the work in every county.?Atlanta Jour, ^ * c nal. i: The Enriching Years.
