O. .The Jap3 are going after the Sooth pole, and we soon expect some froden facts about the Yellow Peril. With the graduating -essays now fresh in lour minds, we shall know much better how to reform the world py July 1. fThe railroad men having come off their high perch, we have given up oi(r heroic resolve to walk out to the* next picnic. Teddy's voice is in bad order, but Undesirable Citizens, malefactors, etis., should reflect that there are ^till typewriters. The Mad Mullah of Somaliland has at last been shot, and some of our leading politicians lose the inspira tion of their great examplar. The railroads issue an appeal for an adequate revenue. Yet some of the reads signing that appeal are now making 10 per cent, and over. Jim Sherman's attempt to per suade the Insurgents to return to the fold reminds us of the astronomers trying to salt the tail of Halley's comet. The administration confesses that it can not enforce .he anti-trust law by its truce with the railroads. It B^oifld either be repealed or en forced. School Superintendent Ella Flagg Young is to teach Chicago pupils to swim, and we expect Do see its pre cocious youngsters soon crossing Lake Michigan. It would be slightly awkward if the diplomas were not properly sign ed for the Sweet Girl Graduates, but still the exercises could go on. Not so if tha dress makers struck. The fact that Tom E. Watson and W. R. Hrarst have returned to the Democratic party, causes the Spar tanburg Herald to ask "what has the Democratic party done?" ?After looking over some corn fed Specimens of college girls, we advise I our bashful bachelors to abate their i timorous fears of erudition, and go in to win some delicious chunks of femininity. President Taft's school for rail road Presidents almost broke loose last week 'with an attempt to lick the teacher, but on sober second thought conclude} to stick to their books a little longer. The Spartanburg Journal says ' if President Taft refuses to see at the white house all those who criticise him and his administration, he will have no visitors except those Augus ta, Ga., folks." There is no reason why Mr. Taft should spend any more railroad fares by going down to meet Teddy. The newspapers will no doubt have an item the next day assuring him of the blusterer's safe return. Thet ? is a wid^sp'ead call for dis solution of th- sugar trust, but the result would probably be that we would buy our sweets of the Twee dledum Sugar Company, instead of the Tw^eiledee Sugar Association. Wl want all the recruits we can get. but we think the Democratic party is better off without the Wat sons and Hearsts than with them. Both of them want to rule or ruin, and the Democracy do not need them. To save Teddy some embarrass ment, we hereby announce that the solid ranks of the millions of our fellow countrymen assembling at Oyster Bay to offer him political ad vice, will uiot include your humble servants. Uhere is werk for Congress to keep it busy all the time, but the proposed early adjournment may be Just as well. Communion with cor ner grocery sentiment is more in structive than with Washington offi ce holders. The Soartanburg Herald says: "Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, who has just been defeated for the Unit ed States senate by ex-Gov. Broward, was regarded as the representative of the interest in that state and not the people. He was supported too strongly by Mr. Flagler. the Stan dard Oil millionaire." Good he was left at home. It is said that Mr. Taft keeps a copy of the Constitution of the Unit ed States handy about his office. The Charleston Post says he should look at paragraph 1 of section 6 of article 1 of that document, in which it is laid down, concerning members of Congress as individuals, that "for any speech or debate in either House they shall not be questioned in any other place." j Poor Old Bill. I The Charleston Evening Post, commenting on the action of Fres 1 ident Taft in regard to Congressman I Harrison, says Poor Old Bill "seems I never to tire of blundering over the miserable Ballinger-Pinchot affair, and its ramifications." The cause of Mr. Taft's coarse manner was what Mr. Harrison on one occasion said about that noted case cn the floor of the House in reference to a public document that was being discussed. "Among the documents furnished to Congress by the President on re quest of the legislative department of the government, was a letter of the Attorney General bearing the date of September 11, 1909, review ing the charges made by Glavis against Ballinger. Upon this review it was represented by the sequence I of the file, the President had largely based his letter of September 13, ex onerating Ball'inger completely. It subsequently developed, through statement of the Attorney General himself, that the letter dated Septem ber 11 had been written several weeks, later. "On May 13 last Representative Harrison, speaking in the House of ,Representatives, declared that 'the confession of the Attorney General amounts to a conclusion that Presi dent and Attorney General had agreed to furnish to Congress mis leading information to supply an of ficial document as of one date, which was really weeks later." So when Mr. Harrison called at the White House on official business last Thurs day, he was informed that the Pres ident would not see him. It being giv en out that he had made the state ment quoted, in the House, to the displeasure of the President. "The President evidently regards the charge against his administration as cne of rare gravity. His refusal to see the author of it indicates his estimate of the alleged act. If, therefore, Mr. Harrison's character ization of the administration's act wa3 justified, the administration stancs self-condemned of the offense. The establishment of Mr. Harrison's charge should be undertaken in the House, and we presume it will be, and the President may yet have to explain just why the letter was false ly dated by Mr. Wickersham. "Mr. Harrison's charge is, on its face, established. The President may be able to retire it by other evi dence. The facts are perfectly clear. The Attorney General has himself stated that the letter which he sent to Congress bearing the date of Sep tember 11 was not written until sev eral weeks after that date, but this statement was not made until the integrity of the date had been ques tioned and the letter had been dis sected to establish the real date of its composition. It was sent to Con gress as a true copy of a letter dated September 11, on which date it had not been written." In conclusion asks this clincher: "If it was not sent to Congress for the purpose of misleading and of supplying "an official document as of one date, which was really many weeks later," then for what purpose was it sent? That is for the Presi dent to explain." Poor Old Bill has put himself in a most ridiculous position, from which he will find it hard to extricate himself. In his coarse treatment of Mr. Harrison, he did not only violate the Constitution of the United States, but made a fool of himself besides. It is no use for President Taft to try and save Bal linger. He has already been con victed in the public mind, and all thl? white wash the .partizans on the investigating committee may put on him will'not change the verdict. Business Building in Summer. The merchant who should close his store in summer, because the sales average may be less than in spring, would soon be a candidate for charity. The man who reduces advertising takes a step not quite so radical, but having the same ten dency. Women shop more than formerly. Years ago, when assort ments were more limited, prices low er, less social competition for the i most stylish clothes and furniture, women settled these questions in a few grand shopping forays. Now they visit the- stores more regularly, buying less on each visit. The mer chant who confines his heavy adver tising to the spring and fall rushes, gets only a fraction of the steady all the year round trade. If he would inquire among his neighbors, he would learn that today a large share of purchases of summer goods are not yet made. If he refuses his ad vertising, he practically says to the best of people who are still buying, and will keep on buying all summer, "1 am out of it, don't bother about me." Teddy's Return. As we write these lines, our gcod friend Col. Roosevelt is on the bounding billows. King Canute of old failed to make the waves re .treait before his regal chair, and Col. Roosevelt will yield up his trib ute to the fish of the sea as easily as the palest mollycoddle. Hs return is awaited with a scale of emotion covering a wide gamut of feeling, from the tremors of the railroad president, to the exuberant chortle of the Insurgent. All however must agree that Teddy has created a great er stir in Europe, exeked more in terest in himsolf as an American product, than any other of our coun trymen could do in even a fractional degree. He will be an enormous factor in our politics to the day of his death. His intense physical vi tality will keep bin' fighting wh. re others would tire of strife, and his keen intellectual curiosity will place 1 him in the fore front of a wide range of political and socia movements. Wofford Gets There. The Charlotte Chronicle says it wants Virginia and South Carolina papers to take notice that "Dr. CJias. C. Weaver, a North Carolinian and a graduate of Trinity College, Dur ham, and Johns Hopkins University, has been elected to the presidency of Emory and Henry College at Emory, Va. Dr. Weaver is 35 years old and ranks with the states." In return the Spartanuurg Herald calls on the North Carolina papers to take no tice "that Dr. W. P. Few, a South Carolinian, and a graduate of Wof forj College has been elected presi dent of Trinity College, succeeding that distinguished South Carolinian Bishop John C. Klho," who the Her ald mi?.ht have added, was also edu cated at Wofford College. CLASSMED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free. For Sale?Registered setter pupB. Llewe lyn strain. $7 each.
