Anyway, we have hopes of the ice j crop. After ten years butting their headB against the stone wall of public rig luation, the railroads condescend to stop and argue with the consumer. Is it the cost of living that makes I the holes in the peek-a-bco waists [ grow bigger, along with the holes in ?the doughnuts? Orchids are the proper flower for June weddings. This is first aid to the Injured for the people unable to spend t.heir money. 'When all the railroads file their new rate schedules, the Interstate commerce commission's job will look a little like a base ball umpire's. As -he kaiser get3 .his raise of pay, 'we shall not have to ask our readers to chip in out of sympathy with his efforts to support an expensive fam ily. It was supposed to be a porkless river and harbor bill, but we notice that $50,000,000 worth of baccn is '?being cuted in the political smoke house. Gov. Gillett deciies that if Cali fornia really belongs to the 20th cen tury it will not permit a' txzht of a brutaLty characteristic of the 16th century. Perhaps the weather bureau, hav ing had experience with uncertain things, would better take a week off, and issue forcasts of what Roosevelt will do. . "We are going to have postal sav ings banks, and now won't someone 'please speak to the trusts, and ask them to fix it so some one will have ?3. little money to deposit in them? T.he government is now after the, southern wholesale Grocers Associa tion. Between the producer and the ?consumer, the middleman seems like-j ;Jy to get quite an affectionate bear ) hug. r. The people w.ho sent messages to Teddy on board the steamship will not be able to sell the replies to the autograph dealers, with the mere Sig natur-? of a wireless operator on them. ; Having talked on various minor matters at European universities,-we hope that when the colonel gets to Harvard, he will discuss a really ed ucational theme by taking up the forward pass in football. Now the telegraph companies are being pu -.'.led on the charge of giv ing news to bucket shops. The gov ernment seems determined that the little Iambs shall not give away their ?wool. Three hundred thousand tourists off for Europe this season. One rea son is that Europe preserves all its beautiful things, while we consider brickwalls and paved streets all that is necessary. If political parties would retain the loyalty of bheir adherents they must show themselves worthy of that loy ?aity. They will do this by their own ?loyalty to the people. This is some time's overlooked and the result is Weakened allegiance and partial dis integration. The world is constantly calling for mor* cheerfulness and every man Wiho recognizes his duty to his fellow ?hould be in the cheering-up busi ness. If the cheery word and help ful grasp of the hand were more fui ly b-stowed life would mean more to multitudes of people. This nation and other nations go right merrily on building immense war ships, each of which costs many million-; ef dollars, and in a few years is Pt only for the scrap pile. Perhaps in the present state of our civilization such action may be nec essary, but it is a sad reflection upon principles md of their -highly devel oped life. ? The Austrian parliament has vot ed $35.000,000 to build warships, which, if necessary, to d stroy life, And $1,200.000 to a fund to aid in tho erection of sanitary dwellings wit h the object of saving life and making it more endurable. If the figures were r-'versed how much hap pier auj pleasanter would be the lot of tho Austrian wage earners. i He who is innocent of wrong do ing in either private, business or po litical life will court the fullest in vestigation when his actions are questioned. Instead of seeking to hide himself behind subterfuges and legal technicalities and limitations he will ask for the limelight of enquiry to be turned on full. Any man who tries to av >i 1 investigation of his life naturally leaves the impression of guiit. Judge Charles G. Pantzler. In r.he death cf Judge DiUitzler, which occurred at his home in this city yesterday morning, the State has lost, one of. its noblest sons. He had been in failing health for some months, but his death was not ex pected, and it ccims as a deep per sonal bereavement to everyone in the City where he was loved aud ad mired, and which he in turn loved with all -his heart. It is impossible in the first pangs of a great and sudden grief, to write anything like an estimate of his con spicious and valuable publio ser vices, or to pay just tribute to these splendid qualities that made him the ideal public servant and the idea! citizen. Judge Dantzler was born March 19.1S54. He was the oldest son of Col. O. M. Dantzler, the gallant commander of the twenty-second S. C. Regiment, who was killed in bat tle, while bravely leading his com mand. He was educated at Mt. Zion Institute. Winnsborc, Soutn Carolina, the King's Mountain Mil itary School at Yorkville, under the distinguished educator and soldier, Col. Asbury Coward, and at Wofford College, where he graduated with hfgh honors in June, 1875. He married Miss Laura A. Moss, and is survived by his devoted wife and two daughters, Miss Carrie M. Dantzler and Mrs. Geo. R. Bowman. He lived his useful life in the County of his birth, and his love and has won for himself a high position at the bar, on the bench and in the private walks of life, and his mem ory will be cherished with endearing pride. Judge Dantzler was not only an able lawyer, but he was a patriot ic citizen, ready at all times to give his services for the public good. He was three times electei to the Leg islature, and served the State with distinguished ability as a Legislator. He was active is proposing legisla tion in the interest of the people, and was one of the earliest and most eloquent champions in that body, of a college for women. He introduced the bill providing Winthrop scholar ships for young ladies, on which was afterwards founded that mag nificent school for women, Winthrop College, now the slory and pride of the State. In January, 1902, he was elected Judge of the First Circuit, and since that time he has adorned the bench with his deep learning and exalted sen^e of right. In the unsullied purity of his private life, and the conservation of his great talents to the good of his State and his fel lowmen, he has left a rich and im posing legacy for all. His kindness, of heart, his humble chriBtian faith,, his devotion and tenderness in friendship, his high sense of honor,| and his gracious courtesy to every-, one, are among the beautiful traits! that endeared him to his friends. He was a noble man, brave andj tender, kind and just, and we shall not soon see his like again. His loss Is irreparable, .his example should be an inspiration to higher and better things. Stealing Bryan's Thunder. . The Sioux City Journal, xone of the few standpat Republican newspapers of the West, say3 the following from The Springfield Republican should have escaped the attention of the leading insurgent newspapers of the State of Iowa.: "No one has deem ed it worth while, thus far to point out that the speeches of Senaiois Dolliver and Cummins at Des Moines could have been rolled into one and passed off as an address by Mr. Bryan some years ago criticising the Republican party. How very like the Bryan of almost any year between 1896 and 190S was Senator Cummins' assertion that the present leaders of the Republican party are in league with the corporations and have 'scant time to consider the needs and desires of the great mass of human ity:' When Senator Dolliver used the word 'pirate' to describe the same leaders, he reminded one of Mr. Bryan in his campaigns lgains* nil the arts and t.he money of Mark Han na. The Republican insurgents of this type ousht now to be ready to concede tluc Mr. Bryan was accurate in his claim, in 1908, that the Roose velt policies would be safer in ais care than in Mr. Taft's." i The Journal then goes on to say that Harvey Ingham, the presiding officer on the occasion referred to, has given many proofs of intimacy with the Springfield Republican and of his respect for its opinions. The Register and Leader, Mr. Ingham's senior newspaper, has given numer ous quotations concerning the great est political meeting ever held in Iowa, and in the collation of these quotations the anxious shears have' not n" glected search in the upheaval j districts of Massachusetts and New York. The Springfield Republican must have proved disappointing to its friends in Des Moines, for it has been dropped from the list of quot able papers. The Journal is not dis pleased to find itself somewhat approved in its independent judg ment by so high an authority in independent expression as this news paper of Springfield. The compli ment?if compliment is involved?is Mr. Bryan's alone. Ik'inoeratic Outlook. The Florence Times says the indi cations from the primary elections through the east and north are that the insurgents are being beaten in their own party pretty generally as was to have been expected. They are in the wrong party and must be driven out even if the party has to be wrecked in doing it. To that ex tent the Republicans are wiser than the D mocrats. who really have very little of a party at amy time and can take in the insurgents with a great j deal more grace than they can keep some who are calling themselves Democrats. It would be well for both parties if they could make the ex change. The result of this victory of the stand pan rs, however, will be in ef fect the sin-Less cf the democratic party at the polls, for t.he Republican party is shouldering all of the re sponsibility for the evils complained of by those whom the insurgents rep t resent and they are not going to be ' satisfied wit.h a pretest. It is said that even In rockribbed Maine, the chances of Democratic success is more than probable. From what can be gathered the man on whom the democrats are going to 'cer.ter as a ! banner bearer in 1912 is Harmon jf Ohio if .he can win one more time in an election, j Folk's boom has not attracted ! much attention around Democratic headquarters, the leaders of the par ry are looking fcr winning timber this time and they do not regard Mr. I Folk as filling that requirement as ! things look just now. The middle I west is where the licks are scheduled to fall thickest and Harmon seems to be a winner now. Folk will be kept in mind, however, for he has wonder ful strength and it will be needed. Altogether the indications are that the Democrats are going to march to victory two years from now if they can keep down mutinies in their ranks. - CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.

As a result of the man}-' accidents that have attended the operat.ouo 01 submar.ne boacs o-eiouging to Eagiaud, France and otner countries, including the United St&'.es, whereof iho uotm.' are admitted by naval authorities to have been suppresAd, but in wmcn many lives ha1, e been lost ana many crews endangered, the Navy Uepait meat has ordered the equipment oi all United fata.es submarine vessels wi'.h appliances which will facillitatc the raising of such vessels from be neath the waves and practically as sure the lives of the members ot the crews, who have long been considereo by seafaring men as unrecognized he roes, even in times of peace. lh? United States tug Nina, recently a ten der to the North AJantic squadron, ? manned by a modern electric windlass exerting a power of 70 tons, and as enormous derrick. Heretofore the danger of navy lift has been considered at its maximum in that branch of the service com prising the submarine operations. Ot ?tea when lowered to a great deptt the pumping machinery, installed tt maintaiu pure air in the vessel, has become disabled, or the apparatus hai tailed to raise the boat to the sur face, and the lives of the men on tht imperilled submarine boat have been alarmingly endangered, if not los:, ai in the case of a French vessel. TLe tug Nina is fitted with the pow erful windlass and derrick and siee cables, bearing grappling hooks, it the event of a submarine boat becom ing disabled while beneath the water these steel cables and grappling hook; can be lowered and adjusted in Sit ring bolts by the divers, with whicJ the tug will be manned. The electrn hoisting apparatus will raise tho sub marine vessel to the surface, and tht men within will be released beton they become victims of suffocation. To augment, the equipment of tht Nina, which will accompany the sub marines in their operations, new steei mast will be installed and a new ste*. boom weighing ten tons will be at lached. The Nina-is1 a 600-ton vesse. one of the oldest in the navy, having been built in 1859, when the first dis tant rumblings of the rebellion wen heard. She is capable of a speed o thirteen knots, and her engines are o. 1,200 horse power. The Nina will carry a crew of twenty-four men besides a reserv' force of sixteen men to relieve th? crews of the submarines when necec Rary. Destructive Bugs.

The Lightning Elevators. If any young lawyer who has an of fice in a large building in this city is pondering because a rustic client whom he expected to call has failed to do so he can chalk it up to a strange incident which gave the countryman some speedier impres sions of elevator service than the ' express service" which the building boasts. The elevator entrances on the firsi floor of the building have dials like clock faces above them with hands indicating the position of tne car al all times. When the farmer entered the building the other day it happen ed that one of the elevators was out of order, and a workman, hidden from public view, was In the shaft tinker ing with the dials, and after their use had been explained to him by a portei he glanced up at the one which was being repaired. At that minute the workman on the Inside, wishing to test the mech anism,, gave the dial hand a splr around from the figures 20 to 1 with lightning rapidity. The farmer Jumped several feet Id the air and gasped, "By heck, dc them cars come down that fast?" he exclaimed when he recovered his hreath. "I'll be gol swinged if I gc up. in one of 'em," and he hurried from the building. ? Philadelphia Times. The Early Mother-in-Law.
