;?ctap$rand Jarte. ?i Postmaster General Work announces that in view of "the fact that increased costs of handling parcel post mail necessitates a corresponding advanci in parcel post rates," he is writing to a large nuipber of pa feel post users to get their views on proposed changes. The changes j which have been suggested. Dr. Work says, include proposals to fix a service ; charge of one or two cents on each pafcel mailed, regardless of weight or zone, and to readjust rates by weight and zone. The postmaster general points out that there has been practically no change in parcel post rates i since the service amounted to $300,- j 000,000 more in 1921 than in the year it ?was started. ?rThe house bill providing $500,000 additional for the department of jus- j tice for prosecution of fraudulent war cohtracts was passed Tuesday by tl\e 1 senate and how goes to- President Harding foti approval. There was no opposition and little discussion of the bill, which was urged by the presi- 1 dent and Attorney General Daugherty. Upon receipt from the house the measure promptly was given unanimous approval by the senate appro priations committee, and was put through the senate by unanimous consent. Senator King, Democrat, Utah, said that the department of justice had not brought prosecutions under the anti-trust" law as vigorously as he would have desired, and he hoped the additional appropriations would bring commensurate results, jReorganiza' tion of the department of justice to provide separate buregu for prosecution of war-frauji xxxfi&s is under way. ?

All products of the farm are on the dutiable list in the McCumberFordney tariff bill, Senator Gooding of Idaho, chairman of the Republican agricultural tariff bloc, announced in the senate. "If any farm product is on the free list, I do not know what it is." he said. "If we find it we will put it on the dutiable list if it needs protection." Senator Good in? said the average rate of duty in the bill on farr% products was 21 3-10 per cent, and called attention that only a few things produced by the farmer were on the dutiable list in the Underwood law. The Idaho senator declared that the United States "ought to pretty near close its ports," to similar foreign products when there was an overproduction of staple farm products. He declared that when there was an overproduction of manufactured' articles the manufacturers closed their factories with, the approval of the public,.* but added that the farmer could not cease production. Ho argued, however, that what lie described - as the J Democratic policy of "free trade" would drive the farmers to a curtail""" The tariff bloc chair man assorted that "all this talk about , the MeCumber bill being framed behind closed doors is without foundation." He said that when the doors x were closed any senator was welcome, adding that he had been present with farmers on several occasions. Declaring thut this was the first tariff bill ever framed that gave the farmer a "square deal" Senator Gooding charged that "all this delay in the senate" was for the purpose of "molding public opinion to the idea that this bill is infamous." ? The Majestic, now the world's largest steamship, was docked at New / York last Tuesday afternoon, at the end of her maiden trip across the Atlantic. The Majestic was buiU by the Germans as the Hismark, ana turned over to the English after the armistice. She had never been out before. She is said to have behaved betiutifully on her maiden trip, coming across in five davs and 10 hours, breaking the record for maiden voyages, but not for speed across. The Mauretania was the largest ship in the world before the launching of the Majestic. She was sailing out of New York harbor as the Majestic came In. The Majestic bid her bon voyage and she replied with thanks. The Majestic with her load weighed close to 6S.OOO tons. Th^ ship will accommodate 4.100 passengers?more than the largest hotel in New York can put up comfortably over night. There are 1,245 state rooms, 473 of which are first class, most of them being at least as luxurious as the rooms in the most exclusive hotels. If the second cabin | are 212 state rooms, in the third. 501. Evert room has electric lights. .15,000 bulbs are used. Most of the hure liners now sailing the seas are bin It around the engines, that is they are i built in such a way that dining rooms, quarters, cabins even stairs are made secondary to the engine j room. On the Majestic it is the re- j verse. All stairs are on the side of | the ship. The smokestacks and venti- ! lators are built along the sides, connecting in air spaces at the top of the elevator shafts on the emergency boat decks.. TJiere, are eight kitchens' on the Majestic, and five special dining rooms.' In the thin! class there is j a purely orthodox "kosher" kitchen ! where such food can be prepared' solel}1* for the use of Jewish passengers. There is also an "a la carte" ' dining room, a new departure in ser- 1 vice on the ocean. ? The General Conference of the' Methodist KpiseojKil church.

I We have some recoiicction of what Great Britain was going to do to Turkey for siding with Germany. That was in the early part of the war. But since the war Turkey has been allowed to do very much as she pleased. She murders the Christian population living within her empire with impunity and Great Britain does nothing.

Hilly Sunday has been subjected t a call down by Rabbi Steven A. Wise. Rev. 'Sunday announced it as his intention to hold mass meetings in the West Virginia mountains, at which meetings he proposes to preach contentment. Itabbi Wise says that if Hilly carries out hi.s announced purpose he will go into the same mountains and preach to the miners that submission to injustice is not the will of God or in accordance with the teachings of Christ- And Rabbi Wise is rlgnt. \\'e uo riot Know just now much renl grievance the miners of West Virginia have; but we do know ' that if they have a grievance they should fight until that grievance is righted. They should not submit to unjust oppression.

It looks too mercenary. Of course there are those who will tell you that it is all right, to just look at the salary of $10,000 a year. That, however, is exactly what is wrong. The idea of any man giving up the governorship of South Carolina for a mere salary seems to us like a reflection upon himself and a gratuitous insult to the people. It makes us wonder why the people ever elected such a man?what claims he' had to such a distinction, n ?t to say honor? Clearly it was only a question of money, for any one of ten thousand other men in this state not to speak of the country, could fill the place just as well. And don't let anybody fool themselves by thinking that the position came to Governor Cooper unsought. He went after it or he would not havei gotten it. Xo, we have no congratulate is for Governor Cooper in-this connection A race for the governorship between Messrs. lllcase and Kvans, with the Columbia State supporting Kvans, as , it will have to dc?either that or ' crawl under he wood pile?would make a funny situ <tion. It has been a good while ago, so Ion# that voters of from 30 to 3i> years old, have no recollection of it: but they were strange and wonderful campaigns that the Columbia State used to make against Mr. Kvans. The famous cartoon representing P.lease as bearing down on the state house in the form of a buzzard, was a mild joke in cent- j pari son with some of the State's char- | acterizat ions of Kvans. Keginning about the time Mr. Kvans began to j gp?w into prominence, the State com mouyed referring to him as "jolin j gsiry evans," and from that it laterl evolved "> gnry cvans," and at last j just "jaggery," with which It was con- j tent to till columns of jibes day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year until Mr. Evans finally retired from public life, in which he had thrived largely on the abuse of The State. Of course Mr. Blease would not be warranted in reviving all this stuff unless the State should adopt a policy of seeking to boost Evans at the expense of Blease, and there is no probability that he I would do so; but otherwise there ; would be a most striking exempliflca| tion of the well-known old truism of I how "politics makes strange bed-fellows." European Problem. The real European problem as we see it, is whether Great Britain or France is to gain the ascendancy of Europe as the result of the recent cataclysm-< The question of who won the war ,1s still unsettled for the warthaa not yet been won. The battle is in progress. We see a lot of talk about th? German problem and the Russian problem; but the real problem is between Great Britain and France. It is ine OKI, oiu quurrei, me quuirel of the ages?the quarrel \vc learned about in our old school histories and the quarrel we see going on before our eyes today. If Germany had been left alone she ^vould have made quick work of France, and Great Britain would have left Gcrmnny alone exc ept for the fact that a conquered France would, have made a more powerful Germany and therefore a less powerful Grqat Britain. But a dominating France does not suit Great Britain any more than a dominating Germany. And relieved of her fear of Germany, France is not willing to be subject to Great Britain.. If France is allowed to completely dominate Germany economically she will speedily become the most powerful state in Europe, dominating the entire continent, and becoming an overshadowing rival of England. British coal and iron can be put out of business by Gorman coal and iron under French domination and that will mean the further depression of British industry and commerce. Great Britain sees her industrial recovery through the development of Russia and Germany, and of course her interests lie in that direction. But the recovery of Germany and Russia through relations with Great' Britain will mean the restoration of the ancient enemy of France and so again we are up against the irreconcilable. Just now however, it is the immediate concerns and ambitions of Great Britain and France that are more in the way than the contrariness of Germany and Russia. The Price of Cotton. The question of greatest concern to the business and economic situation throughout this section at the present time is the pricP of cotton, whether it is now at the top, whether it will still go up further or take a downward shoot. This matter is of interest to everyImfiv hut df more direct and pressing concern to the man who owes debts and who has enough cotton on hand to pay what he owes at present prices; but who is in danger of being left with a balance of debt on his hands in case there is a drop to lower prices. It is the settled conviction of The Yorkville Enquirer that statistically and materially the position of cotton was never stronger in the history of the industry. That is there has never been a time when the world's requirements were greater in proportion to the supply, and there has neve- been j a time when the supply of cotton \fras so short in proportion to the capacity of the available spindles to convert it into various kinds of yarn. Hut in spite of this The Yorkville Enquirer is not willing to say positively that there will be a further material rise in the price. We think that under existing conditions white cotton should go to 2.r> cents or even to 30 cents; but 'we would not advise anybody to take too great chances on anything like that, because there are in the situation other factors that are more potent than Mississippi floods, general rains, backward seasons and j shortage of supply. The principal factor in culling the price of cotton down from 40 cents, ( was not supply and demand; but de- ! flation. Inflation had put cotton up 1 and deflation put it down. People who' have been keeping track of events j over the past six or seven months ought to he able to connect the grad- t unl rise in the price of cotton from 1 the lowest figures up to the figures now prevailing, with the lowering of the discount rates of the Federal Reserve banks and the rehabilitation of the war finance corporation. It must Ik: remembered that while I there are tremendous stocks of cotton J in the South, most of ttyit cotton is J being held off the market by means | of loans from the banks, and in many cases the necessary money ia owned or controlled by the Federal Reserve | board or the war finance corporation, ; the two being so closely interwoven as | to amount to practically the same thing. 4 Cotton is not going any higher than j is willed by the Federal Reserve board, for when the price gets up as high as the Federal Reserve board thinks it ought to get,'there is going; to he pressure on the banks for the I calling of loans. That wil> mean that ; cotton will lie forced, on the market, i and will mean a falling of prices. Of course there is plenty of cotton trial is being held independently of j loans by anybody. Its owners really own it and not being in debt to anybody cannot be made to sell It. While such a condition, as far as it goes, adds strength to the situation, it does not solve it. If pressure can force the sale of say a fourth of the cotton now being held, the undermining effect on price will "be felt by the other threefourths just as surely. It is generally observed that the upward movement has continued steadily until the twenty cents notch was reached, and here there appears to have been at least a temporary halt. This can very easily have been *< i caused by the largo amount of cotton that has been turned loose at twenty cents. It could mean that the top has been reached; but it docs rait neces-, se.rily mean that. It Is easily possible that cotton may go on to 25 or 30 cents; but however this may be, we firmly believe that the Federal Rcscfve bank and the war finance corporation can put a stop to further rise whenever they choose to do so. As to whether to sell cotton or hold it, wo have no advice. If we had cotJ ton we would not know what to do with it, except that if we owed debts we would pay them. We would rather | pocket such profit as has accured by reason of the recent advance than to run the risk of another slump that might put our debts that much further beyond our reach. Itht if we had cotton against which there was no claims, we might be tempted to hold on to it in the hope of more profit, regardless of the chance of loss. ? America has declined the invitation to participate in The Hague conference on ltussin. In a note to the powers assembled at Genoa, Secretary Hughes on Monday declared: "This^ government is unable to conclude that it can helpfully participate in the meeting at The Hague as this would appear to lie a continuance under a different nomenclature of the Genoa conference and destined to encounter the same difficulties If the attitude disclosed in tbo Russian memorandum of .May 11 remains unchanged. It should, be added," Hughes concluded the note, "that this government is most willing to give serious attention to any proposals issuing from the.Genoa conference or any latter conference, but it regards the present suggestions as kicking in the detiniteness which would make possible the concurrence of this government in the proposed plan." ? It looks now, says the Washington fcerald, as if the soldier bonus question would remain qiore of less dormant until about July 1. According to reliable Information Harding has suggested that a postponement of consideration of a bonus bill until that time will accomplish two things. First. It will enable the government to reach a settlement with Great Britain on the question of funding Britain's loan, withj^he result that there will be negotiable British paper in the treasury which will give thftytreasury something to work on in financing the bonus. Second. A delay will permit of the working out of a practicable measure, instead of the unworkable compilation of a liodge-j)odgoy"ot'ldeas that has come out of both sides of congress in the effort to provjde a bonus promise without funds to cary it outIn the meantime. President Harding has continued his silence on the last proposal submitted to h-m, and the fact remains that there is little chance of enacting a law until funds are in sight for financing it. , ^ , / ? President Harding has declined the honor of having the giant steamship Leviathan named after him as had been proposed by the United Statc.% Shipping board. "The Leviathan," wrote President Harding in a letter to Chairman Lasker, of the Shipping board, "stands in name and fact, not only as a national sentimeht. but a national symbol. And so, let me ask you to turn your compliment to me into an acceptance of my suggestion to let the Leviathan remain the Leviathan." Chairman Lasker, immediately notified the president that his wishes In the matter- would be followed. As a result of the president's action, the Shipping Hoard renamed a smaller vessel, the nawkeye State, after him. Twenty-one other ships now named after the States will he named after presidents and organizations. the board announced. Ships will bo named after the following presidents: Van Bure:i, Hayes, Polk. ! Monroe. Harrison, Adams, Garfield, Madison, Pierce, McKinlcy. Wilson, Taft, Lincoln. Harding, Roosevelt, Grant, Jefferson, Cleveland, Jackson. Four other ships now named after States will be renamed the American Legion, the Pan America, the Western World and the Southern Crogs. ? Jennings K. Owens of Rennettsville, for four years a prominent member of the house of representatives, announced Wednesday that he would be a candidate this summer for the Democratic nomination! as lieutenant governor. This is the first announcement of a candidate for the honor.

He came To the house of representatives four years ago with Messrs. McLaurin and l'ogues, these three maklrg the race without opposition. Two years ago with six men in the primary he was elected on the first ballot, receiving the highest vote cast for any candidate for the house in his county that year. Mr. Owens has been a member of the judiciary committee for four years. Mr. Owens who is a native of Rock Hill, was educateed at Ranks' high school, Yorkville, receiving a thorough foundation under the late distinguished teacher, A. R. Ranks. He went to Wnffonl college and was graduated with the class of IS'.tS.

The Yorkvllle Enquirer has had tendered to it two anonymous communications relating to the municipal campaign now in progress. Both of these were all "het up." They were turned down; not so much on that account, as because the Yorkville Enquirer* is not assuming responsibility for the views of others in connection with this matter. Any citizen, however, who desires to express views or present facts that he thinks are calculated to promote the welfare of the town is welcome to use any reasonable amount of space, provided only that he keeps on the safe side of the libel laws, and signs lus name.

SHRINERS IN ROCK HILL The Nobles of the Mystic Shrine tilled Koek Hill to overflowing yesterday, the occasion being the spring ceremonial session of Hejaz Temple of (Jrcenville. There were more than 1,500 members of the order in attendance front all over South Carolina and from the bordering counties of North Carolina, and while Hejaz Temple probably had the largest representation present, there were nearly as many members of Omar Temple, Charleston in attendance, and in addition to the Nobles there were also 500 or tiOO visiting ladies.
