The man who does not rightly perform the duties of life cheats bin1 self, his fellow men and God. To have what we want is wealth, but that may not always be a bless ing. Sometimes we are better off for not having what we want. What South Carolina needs po iitically is a seperation of the Dem ocratic sheep from the Republican goats who pretend to be Democratic sheep. One can save nimself a lot of dis appointment and worry by not try ing to carry the universe on his ahbu^ders. It is far wiser to trust the Eiernal for some things. If Congressman Champ Clark ad vised Congressman Ellerbe to breK his pledge acd vote for a tau -n lumber he is not a safe leader fi?r Democracy. But we do not believe that he so advised. The Times and Democrat is just what it pretecds to be, a Democratic newspaper. It can't preach any oth er doctrine, because it oelieves in the teachings of the great Democrats who brought the party into exist ence. Wany of the newspapers that are criticising The State for showing up the inconsistency of Mr. Feather stone on the whiskey question, re serve the rfcht to criticise candidates whenever they feel like it. Why .should not The State have the same privilege? Congressman Ellerbe in defending his vote to tax lumber, says the tax on lumber does not Increase its cost to lumber consumers in this State, but that ft helped the manufacturers of -lumber in his district. He hard ly expects sensible people to believe such twaddle as this. - The Times and Democrat publish es the letter from Farm and Fireside about Cmgressman Lever's acting ?as a 'distributor of printed matter furnished him by the Meat-Trust to mditv.ee congress to repeal the taxi on:'^'oleomargarine as an item of news, which our readers are entitled to- have. We have nor advised any one to vote against Congressman Lever, nor do we intend to advise anyone to vote against him. We have simply published his record in order thai the. people can k::ow it. When it' coines to voting they do not ueed j our advice. 1 If t.he people could only know what their congressmen do w-hile in Washington there would be many changes in the congressional delega gatious every election. In this day of sraft and deceit every public offi cial should be made to give a strict account of his stewardship. We were asked the other day by a gentleman if we thought Congress man Lever was a Republican. We frankly answered no, but thought Mi*. Lever's Democracy was in a somewhat ram-shackled condition just at this time, but thought he. would get it in good shape in a little while. It is vow up to Congressman to ex ply in why he was so anxious to help the meat trust get the tax on oleo margarine repeo'.ed. The Meat Trust wajtted it repealed its it would save them a great deal of money, but it is not so clear as to why Congress man Lever wanted the tax taken oil of oleotuargine. Congressman Ellerbe says: "I was carried i;:to the House of Represen tatives and sat in my chair for more than, eight hours that I might vote against the tariff bill." Went to all ?that trouble to cast a vote that would do no good as he knew (he l??In would pass, but when he had a vq|e that would count he voted with the Republicans to tax lumber. That is consistency with a vengeance. The Licht, a negro paper publish ed in Columbia, says: "Tump Elli son, who killed another negro ill fcmards last week, ought to be re leased from Jail long enough to shoot Mary Jones and Matildy Mit fcft?U.. at Kinards, for selling him li ?yuor. He would deserve a pardon . for ridding the State of two bad negro women." Such treatment as) iHut would soon clear the State of blind tigers. j Some one sent us a copy of Farm and Fireside, an agricultural paper published at Springneid. Ohio, con-1 tttbaing a tetter from Washington | charging Congressman Lever with I soading out circulars, letters, and otber printed matter furnished him Crom the Armour-Swift lobby head Quarters in reference to the repeal of .the ta>; on oleomargarine. The letter is printed on the last page of -this paper. Should Be Rebuked. "'Its good Democracy to* represent the will of the people," said a speak er on last Tuesday night, when he announced that he would vote on the whiskey question according to the vote of th^s county for governor. There was present at that time a Congressman, who is now offering for re-election, but who has since his ilast .eleation violated his promise made on the platform, betrayed a trust given by him to his feliow-cit ' und voted for protection on lumber when his party had plainly said that it did not favor it. We i wonder if that Congressman thought I when he heard that statement, if he had acted witMn the bonds'of "good I Democracy" when he betrayed the I will of the people by voting for a I protection on lumber; when he vio lated, the promise he made to the people of his district by breaking the Democratic Platform, which had been' endorsed by his district? Congressmen and all office-holders created by the will of the people should remember that the created can not be greater than the creator, and that if there is any vetoing to be done it must be done by the people, not their representative. If the bill had been brought up sud denly, and his district had not ex pressed their approval-or disapprov al, he would have been perfectly free to. vote according to his personal opinion, but his constituents having expressed the^r approval or disap proval of the bill, he again* becomes the created, and should act according to their wish.-s or resign. In sucn a case he has no righ! to exercise his judgment:?his duty is before him. Since he violated his pledge, since he betrayed the trust imposed in him it no*v becomes the duty of every true Democrat to see that he is relevated to the rear ranks. This one vo e on protect! t:i for lumber may * may not hi-' * b^en decisive in Congress, but such be trayals shouiL. be discouraged, not approved. Sometimes when a real important measure comes up one vote' may decide it. Dut omitting all this does not the change fact that a Democratic Congressman voted for protected lumber give the Republi cans au immense advantage when a Democrat says his party stands for tariff reform? Is not it a powerful weapon in the hands of the Repi'br can party to show that the Demo crats do net stand for a tariff toe revenue only? ?Whether .Mr. Lever will be retir ed or not this year remains to be seen, and while it is doubtful that he-can be beaten1, he can be remind ed very forcibly that it is always best to keep one's political promises. His vote cat: be made to show a remarkable falling off, and he would not again dt>re to violate a pledge given to the people of his district. Question of Dollars. The renomination of many legisla tors, federal and state, is being urg ed not on account of any peculiar fitness for the position nor for any constructive and beneficial legisla tion they in?y have supported, but for their success in having secured appropriations for public buildings or for supposed or actual Improve ments in their constituents. In fact with some candidates that is about the only thing that can be said for them. In other matters they may have been but a negligible quan tity, or even worse. This urging of a man's renomination or re-election mainly upon his ability to secure an appropriation more or less large re solves the whole thing into a ques tion of dollars and cents a>id is a sordid appeal to sordid motives. Too often in the past the success of a legislator in obtaining govern ment appropriations has been made to cover a multitude of sins. Dut in these days, with an ever increasing insistence, constituencies should de mand for representatives men of character and principle who will work for the public g.;od and not for selfish interests. .Cities large enough to need such convenience^, would get public build ings whether the congressman who represented such cities favored I hem or not. It seems to be the policy of the national government to give ait important county seats like Orange burg, Aiken, Sutnter and places of about their size postoffice buildings, and we do not believe that congress men have ivuch to do with if. Good. Sound Doctrine. Whether or not one agrees with Hon. Hoke Smith in all his political Pleas, there should be few to dissent from his sound doctrine so effective ly phrased in the following: "Thai people will reach the highest stan dard of citizenship where the largfst proportion own homes, and especial ly where they live upon them anil make a living out of them To en courage suth a policy is to help make possible a population tnr.'iy and prosperous, not of men of great wealth, but of a great number of men of sufficient means to be inde pendent. 1 long to see Georgia rank first among the states as havingg the largest number of citizens owning land in proportion to residents." Tbe Progressive Farmer says it would like for all our public men to get this ideal for our Southern 'States?the ideal of a splendid dem ocracy of thrifty, intelligent home owners, each man sitting under his own vine and tig tree. This is what will make a people great, and we should like for our other Southern Commonwealths to vie with Georgia for first rank among the States in proportion of citizens owning their cwn home1' One of the worst fea tures of factory life is the destruc tion of tin' home-owning influence, and the immigrants we need aie those who will help us realize the ideal set forth by Gov. Smith. Could Not He Otherwise. The State says "the convincing and unanswerable argument that Colum bia is the l:est city in Sotuh Carolina is that, most of its poplatfon is com posed of the best people of Green-, viile, Spartanburg, Anderson. Ckac-J leston, Sumter, Wlnnsboro, Darling-1 ton, Orao geb?rgt Florence, Green wood, Abbeville, Newherry, and all the other 'best towcs' in this fine State. Whatever Cloumbia may be, I good, bad or indifferent, it reflects the virtues and the vices of the oth ?ar communities of the common wealth. Long ago the cative Colum bians became a minority."
