Constitution.
It used to be said that President
McKinley kept his ear to the ground,
b*t Mr. 'Taft put both ears 1,200
feet under at Butte.
Commander Peary's attitude il
lustrates the scriptural saying that
he that ruleth his temper is greater
Chan he that taketh a city.
The new rules were supposed to
have reformed foot ball, but they
won't stop slugging until they get
an umpire for every player.
The farmer is taking strenuous
educational courses these weeks by
seeing high diving and African
dodger acts at the county fairs.
A college professor must oUten
feel that his 'success in life is sev
eral degrees lower than that of a
substitute player on the foot ball
team.
If Cook would get those proofs
ready instead of tearing around to
lecture, he would reduce-the number
of interrogation points very mate
rially.
You can tell very well what young
folks have sentimental interests by
their desire to take observations of
Mar's close approach to the moon.
Tf that Chicago professor who dis
covered the South pole of Mars has
loft his proofs cached up there. The
usual relief expedition may be some
time finding them.
The review of New York's history
m the Hudson-Fulton parade was a
tnfghty good thing. The bigger a
city is, the less local pride and the
lees its citizens know of its past.
President Schurmann, of Cornell,
says the air ship will supplant the
automobile. Then old Dobbin will
come down out of the tree into which
be has been climbing.
"^--^Senator Cummings announcement
that "the^tar'ff fight wil be carried
on vigorously indicates that the Re
publican party .will be badly split
over this issue in the next electon.
Peary seems to be laboring under
the impression that no-'man-could
get in a hundred miles of the North
Pole unless he followed him and
his plans, but Cook has taught him
different.
President Diaz, of Mexico, has a
gorgeous new uniform in which to
meet Mr. Taft. Our President will
look like a plain, ordlanry consen
nee beiide the bespangled President
of the Mexicans.
It I3 a playful title game of
"Rtag Around a Bin;;". that the
aviators are playing with the statute
of Libert in New York, but the grim
fact is ever In the back ground, that
the-, forfeit is death.
rnstejH of harrassing the men who
refuse them the ballot, why don't
the strong winched women tackle
th* reluctant women who refuse to
foVa tLem. No power ever held
o-Jt against womankind.
New York from canoe days to the
modern sky-scraper was represented
in the big parade. But this evolu
tion is not New York's triumph.
ICvery city and county in the couulry
has helped by sending its best blood
to contribute to this upbuildiug as
an epitome of American genius.
Peace and goodwill among the
nations is supposed to have been one
object of the Hudson-Fulton celebra
tion on the Hudson. That was fitting
as both men were the instruments
of trade and commerce. But it is
Suggestive that the various nations
that took part in the"affair were of
ficially represented by grim warships
and not by their merchant marine.
It seems to be well night impossible
to have a peace celebration without
the presence" of a regiment of sol
diers, or a warship or two.
There is no doubt in our mind
hut that both Farnum and Wylio
Bhoutd be punished for their bribery
and corruption, but there Is no use
to go into spasms about the mis
carriage of justice in the Farnum
trial. What else could be expected,
whnn we have been turning looso
white criminals of high and low dc~
for i>i"nv vears In this State.
EC la too much to expect juries that
turn loose brutal murderers to con
vict men for bribing and receiving
ferlbes or indulging In graft. It is
& condition and nto a theory that
confronts us. I
Mite? Benjamin McSweeney.
The Editor of The Times and Dem
ocrat went to Hampton last Thurs
day to be present at the funeral of
the late Governor Miles Benjaman
McSweeney. and thus pay a last trib
ute of love and respect to the memory
of a dead friend of his boyhood.
The death of Governor McSweeney
is a great loss, not only to his horn*
cuuui/, out ail ?oiu? Carolina, me
life of this brave, good man should
be an inspiration to every boy in
South Carolina and elsewhere. When
we first knew him, although very
young in years, he was already a
breadwinner, but, being possessed of
the highest ideals of honor, integrity
and Industry, he outstripped many of
his fellows who apparently were bet
ter equipped for the battle of life,
and finally reached the goal of suc
cess as a business man and the
highest political honors that could
be attained in this State, the Gov
ernorship. Governor McSweeney was
popular with the people while in of
fice and out of it. In devotion to
the best interests of the people of
South Carolina and in sterling hon
esty in office, as well as in his rise
to the Governorship of his State from
the very humblest beginning, he may
be classed with Governor Johnson,
of Minnesota, who preceded him to
the grave only a short time. They
were both men of the highest honor
and integrity, and served their re
spective States in the highest office
within the gift of the people with
fidelity and honor to those who
elected them and with credit to
themeslves. Governor McSweeney
was the soul of honor. The writer
had known him intimately for over
forty years and always found him,
as boy or man, the straightforward,
high-toned honorable gentlemen that
be was when he filled the Governor's
office of his State with such rare
gentleness and honor and firmness.
South Carolina never had a Governor
who loved her more, or who held
her honor more sacred in his keep
ing, than Miles Benjamin McSweeney,
who was laid to rest last Thursday
among the people who knew him
best and loved him most. On the
new made grave of our dear friend
we drop a sympathetic tear, and
pray God's blessing on those who
were nearest and dearest to him.
Then and New.
The Huason-Fuiton celebration at
New York was a reminder of the
venerable age this country is reach
ing, and still more of the vast pro
gress that has taken place in navi
gation and travel since Hudson sail
ed his little Half Moon up the river!
that now bears his name, and Ful
ton astonished and anrighted on
lOokers by his little, snorting Cler
aiOnt.
One has but to contrast the frail
vessel of Huuson with the magnif
icent liners that now cross the same
?nrbulent waters, and the crude
slow Clermont with the palatial
steamers that now ply our great riv
ers to realize the wonderful advance
chat has been made. And that ad
vance is typical of the development
made in the whole world of science
and mechanics during the same time.
But the celebration has also served
other purposes. It has reminded us
of the sturdy, dauntless courage of
Hudson and his crew in venturing
practically into the unknown with
such poor facilities, and of the hope
mi preseverance and courage of Ful
ton in going on calmly with the build
ing of his steamer in face of sneer
ing increduity.
In all this It is cherlng to reflect
that the same qualities possessed by
ihose two men whose achievements
are so gratefully remembered are
possessed In equal degree by Ameri
cans today. The stories of pioneer
life, of struggles against almost over
whelming odds, and of wining vic
tory from defeat prove that the virili
ty of tnis generation s?u*s uu uecay. I
Punish Grafters.
The old saying that wh<m things
are at their worst they begin to
mend has a good deal in its favor.
Frequently the extreme viciousness
of some conditions creates a re- j
vulslon of feeling, and reform is
the result. This is just uow being
..ituessed in two large cities on our,
eoutlueul. Chicago has been no-\
trious for its moral and municipal j
corruption, but the conviction of one
of its rolico inspectors for grafting
ind the gcod promise of reaching
the "raun higher up'' indicate that
the limit of endurance has at last
been reached. Canada has always
prided itself on the purity of its
municipal government, but Montreal
seems to have had as much munici
pal rotteaui'.ss as any American city.
Now the people of that city have
voted by more than seven to one to
adopt what is very much like the
commission form of government.
These reform upheavals are good
for they indicate the temper of the
people, but reforms to be effective
must be lasting. It is a pity that
the men who turned Farn um loose
did not take a lesson from the jurors
that convicted the Chicago grafters
and acted like they did.
The Spirit of the West.
It is anuounced at Seattle that
the attendance at the big expsition
ha3 been so great that the financial
:.,ccess of the great show is assured.
This in spite of the distance of Se
attle from the great centers of popu
lation in this country, which one
would think would late the ?lr
to failure at the start, considering the
heavy losses which large expositions
have so frequently entailed, it will
be a matter of great interest to know
how our Western cousins did it.
There probably is no more of thj
spirit of hustle in Seattle than in a
lot of other American communities.
Hut they have a way of all pulling
ogether in the Far West thai is of
enormous value in making things go.
The Hast is full of the spirit of
knocking. If a man brings out a
-ew Idea, a host of people arise to
Ko~qUSe jt was not managed
differently. In the great new country
of the Pacific slope, all take bold and
pull together.

know what that wonderful medicine,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

best doctors in Chicago said I would
die if I did not have an operation, and
I never thought of seeing a well day
again. I had a small tujr.or and female
troubles so that I suffered day and
night. A friend recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it made me a well woman."?Mrs.
