At last the Senate passes the rail road bilb -The exhibition game be ing over, the umpires will begin the work of law making in secret con clave of the conference committee. In view of the tangle over rail road rates, it might be the best way to pass the hat around among the passengers, instead of trying to sell tickets for any fixed amounts of fare. Mr. Taft said "Bully" when the railroad bill passed. If old ideas of family discipline prevailed, Aunt De lia would be going on to wash his mouth out with soap for using bad words. Many prominent people are being pulled for smuggling. They feel that membership in the Smart Set gives them the right to buy goods 40 per cent, under all their fellow countrymen. Life is successful only as men do their duty by their fellows. In fact lif. is one unending round of duty) and he who cheerfully and steadily does his best to perform it wins the laurel-leaved crown of success. 0 The railroads are mad about the rate injunction, but their defiance of ?the antitrust law amounted to walk ing under the White Hous-3 win dows and daring the president to knock the railroad tie off their shoul ders. The Spartanburg Herald, of Fri day last said: "He is a bad editor who fails to attend next week and his name should be dropped from the list of those worthy." How about |an editor that .has a game toe and a threatened carbuncle On the back of his neck? This was the condition the Editor of The Times and Democrat was in when he read the. Herald's para graph. ;Uncle Joe's characteristic talk on economy to a number of school boys must have given them some queer ideas about savin?. As one boy aptly put it. "It was funny to hear Mr Cannon speak of eating ten cent meals hen he smok.s three for a dollars cigars." But that form of economy is practised far more often ihaa most of us (Suppose. Many men economise on boots and shoes &nd clothing for their families that they may indulge in unlimited drinks during each day. Others feel too poor to buy many groceries but spend freely for tobacco, and there are still others that stint themselves on nec essities that they may buy expensive automobiles. Verily, economy with some people is a strange thing. i Corrupt Illinois Politics. If the people knew the corrupt methods used by the Republican leaders to perpetuate their lease of power and fill their pockets that party would not be able to win an election in any State to say nothing of the nation. Occasionally some of the rascality crops out, but heretofore the leaders have managed to appease the people by sacrificing a scape goat or two, but there seems to be a change. Recent congressional elec tions indicate that the people are catching on and refuse to be fooled any longer. The infamous thingB that are being brought out in the Il linois investigation should land sev eral rascals in the penitentiary. It seems that out there they had a cor ruption fund always on tap. John Dixon, of Peoria, and Henry Lemm, of Pekin, wealthy fish dealers, testi fied before the Sangamon county grand jury Saturday regarding a fish bill "jack-pot," to which Lemm con tributed and which Djxon said .ie collected. This fund was used to pre vent the enactment of fish lawi in the interest of the public. This fish bill fund was bad enough, but evidence submitted indicated that it was a trival affair compared with the big "jack-pot" raised to control heavier legislation, such us the letaal option bill. This fund amounted to $100,000 raised, by the liquor interests to buy up the legis lature, or so many of its members as would be sufficient to carry through any legislation the men who raised . nd paid out this corruption fund wanted enacted, or defeat any leg islation they did not want enacted. For the so-called business corpor ation tax bill, which was passed and vetoed, it is reported a fund of $35, 000 was raised, while $50,000 is the sum mentioned in connection with the bill providing for transfer of valuable lake front lands to cer tain Chicago corporations. ? Thest different funds were raised and ex pended by different interests that wanted special legislation to enable them to rob the people. It was paid out to Democrats who' could be bought, as well as to Republicans, who generally acted as the go-be tweens for the special interests that are willing to pay for legislation. While some rascally Democratic members of legislatures were, bought by these special interests, the Repub lican party must be held responsible for all the rascality, as they have a large majority in the Illinois Legis lature as well as all the State offi cers, and could have defeated any vicious legislation if they wanted to. But they were the chief beneficiaries of the large corruption funds raised to influence legislation, and there fore they must be held responsible for all the rascality brought to light. Yet Mr. Taft says the Republican party must be kept in power to con trol Socialism. Nurses and Babies. There has been a great deal said in the papers about the nurses and the babies?the necessity of keeping a watch on the nurse when she car ries your little one for the daily out ing. It is a fact that many of the nurses of the present day neglect, and, at times, abuse, the infants en trusted to them. The incident in Charleston recently illustrates the danger in not keeping a watch on your child when entrusted to the modern black nurse, says the Au gusta Chronicle. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Graff, of No. 30 Blake street, that city, ordered the nurse, Carrie James, to take their eighteen-months-old baby, Fraser, together with his older sister, Lottie, for an airing on the mall, near the Graff residence. According to the newspaper account, instead of fol lowing these instructions the nurse is said to have taken the children to her home, where she left them to play in an upper room of the bouse, while she herself entertained several friends.. Suddenly little Fraser was heard to cry out. Rushing to the room, Carrie and her friends, found the little fellow doubled up on the floor, with foam coming from his mouth. It is stated that the baby had a piece [of candy in its hand, and it was at first thought that it had choked in biting off an extra large piece. The boy's windpipe was found clear, and the case appeared unexplainable un til one of the inmate of the house found lying on the floor a broken cup, which was known to have con tained concentrated lye. The child had eaten the yle. The boy was rushed to his home, and in a few minutes several physi cians were on the scene and imme diately gave the child emetics, with out affording any apparent relief, to the little sufferer. The patient was taken to the city hospital and he died several hours later. The nurse had been engaged by Mrs. Graff on the day that she took the children out. She had no formal recommen dations. She is now in jail, but that is poor consolation for the agonized father and mother of the baby. How many parents of this city know where are their babies when the nurse takes them for an outing after the mothers have tucked them away in their little carriages, kissed them "bye-bye," and counseled the nurse to "take him out for a cou ple of hours, be careful with him, and do not go off this street"?or some other named street? Keep a watch, now and then, and you will ascertain where your little one is taken and cared for. The more con fidence you have in your nurse, the more rigid make your surveillance. Poor Old Bill. There is a general impression that President Taft has been badly bun coed. The Columbia State says "he is the victim of unsophistication coupled with a big soft heart. It is a shame that his relatives and friends loaded him with that cabinet. No sooner does interest in the Ballin ger-Wickersham conduct begin to peter out because of the known bias of the court, than Representative Mc Kinley publicly establishes the fact "that" Wickersham shared in the fee paid by the sugar trust to Henry W. Taft in the suit brought against the trust by the receiver of the Pennsyl vania Sugar Refining Company. The chief troube here is tbat Attorney Genera Wickersham had denied sharing in the fee paid to the law firm of which he and the President's brother were . members. Another trouble is?if such things are trou blesome to such lawyers?that Mr. Wickersham is using the govern ment's legal department in the in terest of the New York Cotton Ex change for which Henry W. Taft is counsel." CUSSlHEtt COLUMN One-half Cent a Wort ? Found Notices Free. For Sale?Registered setter pups. ' Llewe lyn strain. 87 each. Apply F. N. R'.ckenbaker, Orangeburg, S.
