It will be a long time before anoth er candidate will try to be elected mayor of Spartanburg on a secret session platform. The attack of Senator Bailey on Mr. W. S. Manning, Washington cor* respondent of the Columbia Record, seems to have been cowardly and en tirely uncalled for. jr. _ The emptier the vessel the more does it sound and resound, and it is much the same in human life. It is the man devoid of common sense and understanding that makes the most noisg. An Allentown, Pa., man stole a monument from the cemetery and was proceeding to cut it down to a smaller size and place a new in scription thereon when arrested. Speaking of grave offences, says the DesMoiues Tribune, that appears to be the limit. If an article falls from a shelf or table we instinctively put out our hand to stop it and replace it. Just as instinctively we should seek to hold up the mau or woman who shows signs of falling. That would lie far more helpful ithan letting them fall and then sit iu judgment upon them. 1 It is only a dreamer who expects that the wealth of a nation will be; or can be so distributed that every-1 one will have an equal share. But it is a wise man and no dreamer who aims to do away with conditions that favor special interests and which if? so doing ?work injustice to the peo ple. In the primary election at Spar tanburg on Tuesday J. B. Lee was nominated for mayor over J. P. Fielder by. a vote of 1,224 to 570. Mr. Fielder -ldvocated secret ses sions of the city council while Mr., Lee advocated open sessions. The Herald championed the open session candidate and has won a great vic tory for the people. History records many imperishable names, but with some it is the imper ishableness of infamy and not of] honor. Not one of us may attain such distinction as to be continually remembered, but to a greater or: less extent we shall exist in the mem ory of others. This life should be ?0 lived that when we pass away, people .may remember us only for our soodness. The board of trustees of Erskine College conferred the honorary de gree of LL. D. on Major J. C. Hemp hill, editor of The News and Courier, on last Tuesday. Major Hemphlli is a graduate of Erskine College, and it certainly has a right to feel proud of him. The great wonder is that some college did not honor itself by honoring the genial Major with this degree before. . The Sumter Daily Item says "The News and Courier has prayerfully petitioned Mr. Taft, who has suc ceeded Grover Cleveland as the ob ject of its daily adoration, to organ ize a new party. But we can't see what the big man would gain by complying with the request, so long as he retains the substantial backing of the Republican machine and the undeviating admiration of Charles ton's most venerable journal." Tip- notorious Moulin Rouge in Paris has been losing money for its owners for some time past and they have at last been forced into bank rupt' y. As a resort for fast people ami those who wished to see Mi* doings of the fashionable underworld of Paris the Moulin Rogue has been responsible for many a tragedy and the wrecking of any number of lives, in its heyday of popularity it made ??h-,' fortune of >overal owners, but in rec nt years owing to the activity of purity crusades and an improved moral tone among the people its popularity greatly decreased and it became a losing concern. From a'I (if which it is seen that moral re form makes headway, even in the French capital. ,? I s said that the American Sugar trust has discharged seven of its em ployees for complicity in defrauding the government out of millions of dollars by falsifying tile weight of sugar that was imported. That these employees did defraud the govern ment is more than probable from the evidence furnished, but they had no incentive to do it on their own be half. They were not enriched by it. No one supposes that they did it as a joke or because they liked to do it. As a matter of fact they were the tools of the trust which also j>rofit ed by their dishonesty. For the trust in a Pecksniffian spirit of holy horror to discharge those employees is a discreditable act that will %ot impose on the public which already has taken its measure. This may appease the wrath of the Republican officers, whose business it is to prose cute the members of the trust for defrauding the government, but it should not appease the people.' They should demand that these rascally trusts magnates be put in stripes the same as common people would be if they were caught defrauding the gov ernment. Will the Jews Go? To what extent the project of transporting Turkish and Russian Jews to Mesopotamia and the found ing there of a Jewish State will suc ceed is uncertain. As to the country itself tbs soil is exceedingly fertile but like a good deal of our own wes tern land it ueeds irrigation in order to be productive. It is stated that to restore *he old time productivity $40,000,000 would be required, but that "sum, great as it is, will be speedily forthcoming from wealthy Jews if the idea materializes. But will the Jews or any consider able number of them go to Mesopo tamia? As for the Jews in Turkey and Russia their condition is so mis erable that almost any change would be for the better. This may induce many of these downtrodden people to go if ue way opens. But so far us concerns the Jews in this country it is _extremeiy. unlikely that many would go. The Jews may be very enthusiastic about Palestine and the other regions with which their for mer national history is associated, but that enthusiasm is not going to make them give up a good living and favorable civil and political con ditions for an dncertainty. In the old days of Ezra and Ne hemiah the number who left Babylon to rebuild Jerusalem and start afresh as a nation was comparatively small, and the prospect is that it would be much the same in the proposed ven ture. Chicago and New York are more attractive than Jerusalem or the plains of Mesopotamia as a per manent abode. Steadily Advancing. - One by one the various State legis latures are adjourning and in some instances the people scarcely know whether to be gla.l or sorry. There u.is. of course, been some freaic legislation and still more numerous freak bills. These, perhaps, may oe garded as the letting off of a little sJeam and no bne is hurt by it. Re fj.in legislation .i:is net been so pro nounced as in some former years, yet much that is useful has been done along that line, and even if the quantity is less it does not mean that the public is growing indifferent to existing abuses. Rather does it mean that it is waiting and watching to see the effect of legislation already enacted with the view of amending and strengthening any that may prove inadequate. Certain it is that steadily and wisely in spite of much' opposition the interests of the peo ple are being advanced. The influ ence that Mr. Bryan's agitation has had on legislation is hard to calcu late. While he failed three times to be elected to the Presidency, his in fluence has been patent in bringing about reform legislation that would not have been thought of had he not been so prominent a figure in our politics, for the past twelve years. His influence still lives and will have wonderful force in shaping legisla tion for years to come. Must Pay the Piper. To engage the piper and listen to his playing is one thing, to pay the piper is another thing. The land owners in England arefindignant at the government taxing the unearned increment and at the increased in come tax, and the none too refined billingsgate they use in denouncing the government and its budget is amusing. But the landowners have brought the trouble upon themselves. They have so: created one war scare after another and have so insistently demanded a large number of dread noughts that the ministry was com p?l??*n' to build or provide for build ing many more than it intended. A.-> one single bat'.leship of that class costs somewhere about $10,000,000 it is easy to see that not many can be built without greatly increasing the taxation. Very rightly the gov ernment decided that, so far as pos sible, the class that can best afford it and which is mainly responsible for the higher taxation, should pay the cost, and parliament by an enor mous majority supports the govern ment's view, if the bitter experi ence this is giving the landowners wiil put a stop to scare-mongering it will be a good thing for more than one nation. They Will Kind Oulj| The Snmter Daily Hem indulges in some plain talk to those so-called Democratic Senators and Representa tives who have been votins with the Republican on the tariff question. Here is what our contemporary says: "Some people are asserting thai the Democratic party is dead and all but buried, and in proof of the assertion cite the desertion of cer tain Senators and Congressmen who are Republicans in all but nan:.'. There is i. > doubt about the bad faith of various Senator:; and Congressmen, in voting with the Aldricb gang of trust repre sentatives, but they are not the Democratic party and they will find out before long btat they are not even Democrats in the esti mation of the real Democrats who stay at home and pay'-tribute to the tariff fostered robber trusts.'" We heartily endorse every word safd by the Daily Item. Those so called Democratic Senators and Rep resentatives who vote with the Re publicans to tax the people for the benefit of the trusts should be made to go where they belong, in the Re publican party.
