THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. Uta Great s ph ero to Prepare Nations for Un i vernal Peace. At the recent session of the South Carolina Press Association at York Dr. Talcott Williams, of tho Pulitzer School of Journalism of Columbia University, addressed the body, giv ing his views on tho work of tho press In the past, and its great sphere of usefulness in the future. Declaring that the press could do more towards establishing universal peace than any other agency, Dr. Williams delivered a 30-minute ad dress that completely captivated his hearers. He said in part: News was never moro censored than in this war. Opinion was never more powerful and never had a wi der international significance. Lord Kitchener, (just gone,) when the war began stopped all news. Recruiting paused. longland was fighting for her life and in 23 days only 100,000 men volunteered, when 3,000,000 soldiers were needed. A conference was called of the leaders of the na tion and the leaders of tho press. Reluctantly Lord Kitchener and cab inet granted the demand of the news paper men that news should be printed, not of military movements, but of the soldier at his work, in battle, in retreat or advance, In trench and in camp. It had taken 23 days to get 100,000 men without news; with news the next 100,000 stepped forward in nine days; the next 100,000 in seven days. Repub lican institutions were justified of the elder sou of self-government. A free press and ?publicity proved again the defense and safeguard of a free people. Duty of American Press. The Ame.lean press has had ano ther duty not less important. By long tradition, by wise policy, by just principle and by a sound national de cision the United States ls neutral in this way. The government ls silent save on national rights at sea; the people have no official voice on the chief issue. But American neutral ity has never Leen indifferent to moral Issues or without a just and impartial judgment on the acts of men and of nations. With half hu manity at war, the American press had to speak for the only powerful people at peace. Our newspapers have done their duty for our land and for humanity. Without bitter ness, with no partisanship, defending no cause and condemning either par ty to the conflict when either depart ed from tho established rules of civ ilized warfare, the American press as a whole, day by day, has uttered the verdict of thc American people. Spoken foi' Humanity. Nowhere else has each cause had its advocates and Its supporters; no whero in the world has there been doubt that the American press has spoken for the nation, for humanity, and anticipated the verdict of his tory and slow time. Never before have the newspapers of any land had this duty to discharge, and it has been met with courage, with sagac ity, with justice and with restraint and with reserve. Because in his own chosen field, be it hamlet, vil lage, town, city or metropolis, the newspaper man in free communities, each part of a free people, has In the day's affairs a daily duty to mediate, to represent, to judge and accurately voice and to express the opinion and verdict of tho community, the State and party with which he is associat ed. Self-government and tho con sciousness of a free people in its whole and in its parts ls only possi ble through tho professional utter ance of the newspaper man. School of Journalism. Tho great journalist, Joseph Pulit zer, to whom the school ol* journal ism in Columbia owes its existence, saw that this high task and this great work could not be adequately accom plished without thorough training, to provide which he left an endowment of $2,000.000. Joseph Pulitzer fore saw that in tho 20th century tho re lations of the United States with for eign affairs would become closer, and ho insisted that those who sought the school should acquire a working knowledge ol' either German or French. Ile understood that it was more necessary for the journalist to be schooled in the science of gov ernment, the economic structure of society and the whole web of States that rest upon the relations of men to each other than to lay emphasis on the trivial details of the calling. He knew, as every ono of us boro knows, that the school of journalism can no moro make journalists than the law school or tho medical school can make tho lawyer or the doctor, but it can lay tho foundation on Which tho newspaper can securely build and save months of prepara tory work to tho newspaper and se cure tho steady development through practical conduct with affairs of the young journalist prepared for his work. Influence of the School. The yearly probate of Mr. Pu I lt zer's will lu the graduation of tho 1 classes of the School of Journalism has now gone on for four years. Half of its men are at work outside of New York; on tho New York pa liers it has more than 30 men. Its work is as much needed in the rural weekly as in the metropolitan daily, and will he as valuable. Never was this task greater or more momentous. A journalist, Ben jamin Franklin, at the Colonial Con ference in Albany in 17 55, drew the outlines of tho Federal constitution, which went into operation 34 years later. Through half the 18th cen tury the colonial press prepared the colonies to 'become a federation. The American press, South and North, through all tho 19th century, culmi nating In the Spanish war, turned the federation into a conscious na tion. The greater task remains to make this nation tho instrument through which, under Providence, a league to enforce peace shall end war for all time to come. The declara tion of President Wilson in favor of such a league summons tho nation to this great duty. By the American people alono can it bo begun in a warring world, and it is the Ameri can press, and most of all tho rural American press, which must create, educate and lead American public opinion through the steps which will make such a league possible and give an adequate reason for preparedness, not merely in national defense, but In the wider work of safeguarding the world.

That typhoid fever, our so-called national disgrace, is disappearing at least from the larger cities is shown according to figures glv-w out by the American Medical Association. The mortality rate from typhoid fever for America's 57 largest cities, those having a population over 100, 000, was 8.65 per 100,000 in 1915 as compared with 12.77 in 1913. Other figures showing that our national disgrace is growing less each year are that 32 cities bad a rate under 10 during 1915 against 24 in 1914, and 19 in 1913. Five cities, Newark, N. J., Soattle, Wash, Milwaukee. Oma ha and Cambridge have a rate of less than 5 per 100,000. These consti tute the honor roll and set the stand ard for other cities and towns. "These figures," says tho State Hoard of Health, "represent, only the deaths from typhoid fever and none of the expense, the suffering, the dis abilities and complications that usu ally arise and persist for life. Be sides these serious after-effects, there are the carriers and other sources of infection made possible by one or more cases. Typhoid breeds typhoid. A town or community which permits an epidemic of this disease not only brings upon itself the stigma of dis grace, but a moral and a social re sponsibility." Stronger Headlights for Engines. Washington, Juno 16.-Hallway locomotives in road service between sunset and sunrise aro required by an order of the Inter-state Commerce Commission to have a headlight suf ficiently powerful to enable persons In the locomotive cab to seo an ob ject Ibo size of a man for a distance of 1,000 feet or more ahead under normal weather conditions. Locomotives required to run back wards In road service must have a rear headlight of tho samo type and will he required to carry two lights strong enough lo make a man-sized object visible nt a distance of 300 feet or more. The ordei is made applicable to all new steam locomotives put in service ifter October 1, 19^6, and to others given general ovohauling before that date. AH engines now in servlco must bc equipped with the lights not later than 1920.

SOUTH CAROLINA; + ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J. . J? ? J. ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? (George Fitch, in Constitution.) South Carolina is a State of per petual irritation, situated between Georgin and North Carolina, and somewhere between the Revolution and tho Civil War. it is tito light ingest State in the Union, and ls the unsafesi spot between tho Atlantic and the Pacific In which to discuss the emancipation proclamation or to edit a newspaper with a trenchant pen. South Carolina is about as big as tho front yard of a Texas cattle king, lt contains 30,000 square milos, is shaped like a five-cent cut of pie, and Its population includes Republicans, Chinese and Indians not taxed. The population is almost equally divided between whites and negroes, but one white Carolinian when ho gnashes hts teeth and draws In his broath with a low, hissing sound can make one hundred colored residents go away In search of rost and a change of cli mate without watting for the next train. South Carolina was settled about 250 years ago, but has remained un settled ever since, lt has always been noted for Its nervous disposition and its willingness to rise up and smite thc universe on all occasions. The British were having an easy time In thc revolution when they struck South Carolina, but Gen. Marlon soon I made them look like a Republican who has criticised Gen. Lee in Char leston. The State helped win the Revolution, but threatened to take its doll things and go home in .lack son's administration, and In 18(51 lt opened tho Civil War by seceding with a prodigious explosion. Later lt contributed Tillman'to tho United States Senate and hns listened to the uproarious results with pride ever ?Ince. South Carolina was severely tshaken by an earthquake in 188G, hut did not. secede at that time. South Carolina raises cotton, rice and sweet potatoes, and supplies tur pentine and resin to the world at large, lt begins at the Atlantic Ocean in a modest way about six feet below high water, and for many miles inland is so moist that tho far mers keep life belts handy on their wagons. It has many Ano old towns, full of polite and chivalrous citizens, Mit the population peters out in the western mountains, whore the people eat clay instead of leo cream and lobster, and empty tho hookworms out of their Sunday shoes by pound ing the soles with a stick. There are three religions in tho State-Prot estant, Catholic and States Rights. Charleston, a beautiful petrlfiod city on the seacoast, is the metropo lis of South Carolina. The hope of the Slate ls in Its public schools, but the cotton mills, which are spreading all over lt like a heavy rash, are driving hundreds of teachers out of employment.
