President Taft slows a disposition r* to c'fmb upon the Democratic plat form if ft will help him to a 3econd ? ?' term. It is very clear that there whl/be no ne;;d to enlarge the penitentiary during Governor Elease's' term.' He Mb quite liberal with the pardoning ? power. Senator Borah hit the nail right :< on thij! he:d when he accused Root and other Northern Republican Sen ators with being ' hypbcritS;: on 'che j . ne^ro question. We think Governor Blease is mak H ing a mistake in pardoning so many criminals. It is hrrd enough to con vict them, and wlieh they are con victed, they should serve out their | ". ? terms. Whether, the Republican -leaders see it or not, the handwriting Is on f; the wall, and the high protective ta: J riff will have to g*). #The people will ;.'? hot submit to being'plundered;, by the trusts any longer, h $' ??r???>?? - ? .' ?

It makes very Htt.le difference to^the general public who does the appoint ing, but it. ought; to.be settled def initely. f n?0? ; The Richmond Times-Dispatch; | declares that the Senate1 itself should ! be abolished and a single chamber j - be'depended upon for legislation, : rather than have the "Senators elect ed directly by. the people. Yet; the ' Times-Dispatch -yants- to boss the Democratic party! r _? ? ? Senator's Bailey's defence of Sen ator I orlmer,. who'.isjcharged with bribery in connection with his elec tion to the Uniied States Senate, . dees ,not surprise us. We have no con fidence in Bailej. His mix up with , the oil company sometime ago put him out of commission with u3. ?: President Taft has joined the Democrats against the majority of his own party in congress to secure free trade with Canada, and now it is s?id he is going to veto the Sullo- j way $50.000,OO1.) a y^ar pension grab bill, if it, passes, the senate. If he keeps on he will .be a pretty g'j"jd Democrat himseif. The Sumter Watchman and South ron says "it is to be regretted that the whole legislative session could not have been postponed until next year. If anything of importance or of benefit to the State has been ac complished this session it has" es caped notice. All constructive legis lation has been sidetracked or post poned?in other words, dodged." We want thone folks who accused The Times and Democrat of talking through its har. last summer when it said there was a gigantic lumber trust, to read the report of Herbert j Knox Smith, United States Commis-: Sioner of Corporations, which we J publish on the first page. He de-' clares "that there is imminent dan ger of the control of standing tim ber being concentrated in few hands" ! and the price of the same being more than doubled. The old stand pat Republicans to whom the tariff wall has been sa cred, are talking like men bewailing j the ruins of their party. It Is a fa miliar comment in such quarters that Mr. Taft has absolutely de stroyed what (hance he had for re election?to which it is added that tbls doesn't much matter anyway. since after appointing Democrats to] his Cabinet and Democrats on the Supreme Court, and finally adopting a Democratic tariff policy, Mr. Taft is no better than a Democrat at heart. ?Senator St-cme, of Missouri, has no patience with democratic sena tors in name, "but high protection ists In ? fact, who do not want their party infidelity exposed to the glar ing light of public record." He dubs the "con?erence" plan a scheme for the protection of weak-kneeded Democrats and believes in calling a spade, a spade. He wants conditions so changed, that the small coterie of Southern trucklers to the interest may be known by their true name. And he is right. A Democrat should be a Democrat at all times and under j all circumstances. Blaase WUl Be, Opposed. Governor Blease is a very much discussed, as well as cussed, man by the .politicians about Columbia, and,it in very plain that if they.can find [a- m ah who :ca n beat him' in ;next year's - primary, they will" retire- the: Governor after bis present term is out. Should such a thing happen, all political precedent in this State would be broken, -as it is a kind1 of unwritten law of . the Democratic party that State candidates be- nomi nated- and -elected for' second ^erms without opposition. This rule has held good since the days of Hamp ton. ? But there is v.o disguising the fact that there are many who would like to see the rule set aside in the case of Governor Blease. They do not think he deserves a second term, and if they see any chance to defeat him they will make the attempt to retire him when his present term Is out. It Iis -claimed that the Gov ernor has not made many -friends among those who voted against him in the last * primary, and has es tranged soiae of those who worked hard and voted for him in his race for governor last year.r . Then, too, It Is claimed, that Gov ernor. Blease has estranged many of the friends of Senator, Tillman, who supported him in the last campaign and who really elected him Governor, by his almost personal, attack on the aged senator. It is pointed out that no other Governor has done this, not even those who did not belong to the Senator's faction, and they see no reason, for Blease to do so, espec ially as he claims to he a political friend, and follower of ,the Senator. . It is intimated that Governor Blease wants to succeed Senator Tillman in the United States Senate, and his Mends think that the Gov ernor charging the Senator with vio lating the State constitution by hold ing Clem son and Winthrop trustee ships while Senator, is nothing less than an attempt to discredit the Sen ator, and force his retirement at the end of his present term, and thus make way for Blease when his term as Governor is out. Senator TiUman's reply to the Governor's ar raignment .of himself by name shows that the, Senator resents' the Gov ernor's action. /Should Tillman's friends turn against Governor Blease he would find it very hard to pull through in a second! election. Governor Blease cannot cite the precedent of allow ing a Governor two terms, as he him self broke it- by .opposing Governor Ansel two years ? ago..' He set tie precedent* tor opposing the second term of governors, ? and it Is most likely that future candidates for this high office will hare at least two precedents. That is if the talk against Blease materializes. Much depends blf his acts after - the -legis lature adjourns whether or not there will be a lively campaign In the sum mer of 1'912. i The Pace That Kills. There have been many deaths at . tri htitable to, hardening of the: 'ar teries In- recent years, and' the au topsy shows, in such cases, that death was the direct tresult of the bursting of an artery, generally one in the brain. The walls of the ar teries have become hard and brittle and consequently lesB able to stand severe pressure than in their nor mal or youthful condition of flexi bility, says The New York Press. The pressure which thus breaks an ar tery is properly ascribed to the in tensity of modern life, which every day makes extraordinary demands upon, heart and circulation.' The ar teries* themselves become hard, not from nervous strain, but from causes well within the power of any one to correct Bad arteries always mean* imper fectly functioning kidneys, and tlK two chief contributing causes of the kidneys are too much meat and not enough fresh air. The increasing frequency of sudden deaths should bring home to every man wbo want; to live a long and healthy life the great importance of helpful air; un contaminated air; air with vital oxy gen in it. Frequent, ventilation of offices, open windows or open-air sleeping at night, and as much "of life as is possible spent in "God's good out-of-doors," these, with com mon sense in eating and drinking, are the simple-it rules for healthy wayfaring on the long road through life. It is the' everlasting rush for mon ey that is the pace that kills so many men in their prime. All they think about is money and how to accumu late it. Not that they need it, but just simply to pile It up to see how many million dollars they can get before they are called to render an account of their stewardship by the Judge of the Universe. It is more of a curse than a benefit. Why is Rockefeller and Carnegie trying to get rid of their ill-gotten gains be fore they face that fall? Simply be cause they are afraid to face Him with it. Then why will men ?rind out their lives making something which is no use to them in the end? Canadian Reciprocity. The Canadian reciprocity bill, es tablishing freer trade relations be tween our country and the dominion, has passed the house of representa tives by a vote of two hundred and twenty-cne to ninety-two. In this, there is cause not only for rejoicing over present good, but also for sub stantial -hope in even better things to come, says the Atlanta Journal. When our nation has fairly tasted the fruits of reciprocity with Can ada, when the sound principles of this E.greement have been made clear by their actual workings with our great neighbor to the north, when the people of the United States have realised that freer trade means cheaper food and wider prosperity, the day of high tariff will have reached its end and the people will insist upon a liberal trade pc'icy with all the nations of the world. This is the prime significance of the pending agreement with Canada, which was ratified by the house Tuesday and which awaits only the 'confirmation of the 'senate to be :come' effective. The Canadian pact has boen frequently spoken of as j marking the beginning of the end of 'high protective tariff. And this is ?true, because that agreement offers a definite opportunity for free'or lib eral trade policies to justify them selves through actual results. The final vote in the house Tues day is interesting : and richly su'g 'gestive. One hundred and forty jthree Democrats voted for the bill, jand only five Der-onrnts against .it.; Seventy-el? ht Rerublicans voted toY lit and eighty-seven Republicans jasrainst. it. To whom, then, is credit for the i passage of this great meas ure' due? The progressive remnant of the Republican party is to be con gratulated upon the enlightened po sition it assumed and President Taft has already earned the praise of the whole nation for the broad-minded and determined statesmanship he has shown. But it is simply stating the record in the case to 3ay that the preponderating support of Ca nadian reciprocity has come from the Democrat s. Blease in the Saddle. A dispatch from Columbia says 'f anything could be considered as as tonishing under the present admin istration, the situation in "regad to the office of county commissioner In Florence county would fall in that category, but nothing is surprising, or ought to be. The Florence dele gation, after spending long hours of discussion and weighing all matters relative to the office, finally sent the name of 'Mr. Chas. W. DuBose to the governor for appointment. The ap pointments was made and the secre tary of State notified him and re quested the return ol.' his oath of office. The governor suddenly or ders the secretary of State to hold up on the matter and to instruct Mr. DuBose to take no further steps to wards qualifying, as he had another name in view. If the Governor has determined to look after all these j little appointments himself, he has certainly cut out a big job for him self. But no other way could be devised by which he could appoint none but those who voted for him to office, and we suppose that Is the reason he h??<> adopted it. i Governor Blease is in the saddle, and he be lieves to the victors belong the sr>oils.
