The man who has a bad temper makes it decidedly unpleasant for cthe-s, yet after all he is the worst sufferer. Good resolutions are of no effect unless they are reduced to practice. Proposing and doing are two differ ent things. The beauty of a god good deed is spoiled like the beauty of a soiled flower when the main consideration in doin? it is selfishness. ; Governor Blease is still in the saddle, riding rough shod over some of the old customs that have hereto fore been observed in the office he holds. Chief Justice Jones and Governor Blease have locked horns over the appointment of special judges. As t neither can force the other, it seems to us that the day of special judges in South Carolina has passed. With many people life would be more of a success than it now is if they would learn to rely more upon their own efforts and less upon those of others. This leaning for support upon one's friends saps vigor and independence.. '' ' \ An exchange sars the matrimonf-j al bacilius is playing havoc wich the; ranks of school teachers at Patter son. Ohio, and the trustees, realiz ing that the only cure for the germ Is marriage, are now advertising for more teachers. Poets are said to be going in for; .farming as being more profitable j .tiian writing poetry. If this is true j rfind one may judge from the amount J ?of spring poetry that comes upon the j .market, the ranks of the farmers'" 3vill receive a great accession. ; Those young women in one of our northern cities who had a dinner at which a monkey was the guest of j honor have a good deal to learn in j the matter of social propriety and j self-resnect. Incidentally it revealed j an unhealthy craving for excitement. The Times and Democrat is here j to stay. It is doing better now than | it has ever done, and is growing j stronger every day. The Timos and j Democrat owes the people oi Or-1 angeburg County much which it will try to repay by being true to their interests at all times. In'commenting on the speech of) Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, on Senator Lorimer, the Anderson Ad-1 vocate says he wiped away the tears from the cheeks of the guileless Senators, who were made to weep by the defence of Lorimer by Bailey and others. While we do not ag-ce with some' things Governor Blea.;o has do im, \vu are bound to say that be has not. done a tMng since his election that he did not say he would do if he was elected when he was running for governor. He is living up to his. platform, regardless of who it hurts or helps. It takes sorrow and adversity to bind people together and give prac tical exnression to sympathy; Thi.-; is true always, whether the scene be local, national or international. The famine >n China and the destitution caused by the plague c?.use civilized nations to respond with financial aid and medical i'ssistance. It is under such circumstances the virtue of hu manity delights to display itself. Senator Mauldin of Greenvills says " the man who cannot stand the criticism of the newspapers ought to stay out of politics.*" That is true, in a way, says the Ander son Advocate. But sometimes the newspapers carry their critihisms entirely too far. If the newspapers ?were more careful in their criticisms there would be more respect for the newspapers, and they would have more influence; The statement made in the British parliament by Premier Asquith rel ative to self-government for Ireland, has given great satisfaction to the Irish Nationalistsand brings the go.il of home ruie well in sight. With imperial supremacy assured by the government end accepted in good faith by the Irish there is every reason to believe that goodwill and confidence will replace the former animosities and mistrust. Dr. Howard Lee .Jones, of Charles ton, who took the ground that pro hibition could not be enforced there, and that it would be unwise to enact such a law arraigns Governor Blease because of his veto of the 1 > 111 giving Charleston people the right to vote the question of adopting commis sion form of government: The peo ple have no right to criticise Gov ernor Blease. Their votes practically made him governor, and th'sy should support him. Trying to Muzzle the Press. Politics, not a postal deficit, is the underlying motive of the administra tion's ?? attack on the; magazine and periodical- press of this country, through the medium of an increase in second-class postage, says Samuel G: Blythe, a faxcous political writer, in the United Press. Postmaster General Hitchcock has his excuse in his, alleged ' deficit. President: Tuit h:s Lis excuse in his support of a L'ihiivet member, who is trying to put his department on a self-sustaining basis. The administration senators, who taced the amendment on the postcfiioe bill, have their excuse {u the. demand of the president that the increase shall be made. They are making these excuses, too, now that they are discovering how thoroughly the people are aroused on the matter of using the taxing power of tht lov-ernment to confiscate?-tor. that is what it amounts to?a free press that has dared to criticise and con demn certain acus of both the admin istration and the supporters of the administration in congress. Laying aside the tremendous eco nomic fact that the imposition of this tax by the government means the rain of the magazine and periodical business in this country, the absolute extinction of the popular magazines, look at the politics of it. This tax is a part of a carefully matured plan by the administration, in conjunction v.ith the interests the republican ma jority in congress have served six teen years, to stamp out the progress of the republican movement in this country by depriving that movement of its means of publicity and its pay mediums for the spread of its prop aganda? It is especially directed at the newly formed progressives in cprf ress who haye been supported by the magazine a-:d periodical press in their attempt to rid the country of Aldrichism and Cannonism. It is an act of direct reprisal on the part of the president, Hitchcock, Cannon, Al drich and all the Cannon and Aldrich crowd in congress, of whom there are seven on the committee that put the amendment: in the senate bill, iritsnded to punish those magazines and periodicals that have spoken fearlessly about governmental politi cal abuses. I Of course, the publishers can make the case and are making it vigorous ly and effectively, that this discrimi [ natory reprisal ?tax will bankrupt them, or if any of them can continue ?will inevitably increase the price of the popular magazines to the reading public, but that isn't the main point. I The vital thing that concerns the peo ple of this country is that this ad ministration, by exercising Its tax ln,2 power, is endeavoring to abol ish a free press, not only in the in terests of its own political ambitions and those of the men who serve it, but also in the interests and for the protection of the financial powers it ' seeks to serve. The question is big ger than one of money, either in the government's purse or out of the ?purses of the publishers and the thousands of men who will be thrown out of employment if the publishing business is curtailed, as it will be if this increase in second class postage becomes a law. It Is i" a blow at the liberty guaranteed un-1 der the constitution, and is subser-1 sive to every American idea of jus- j tice', fair play and decent politics. Don't Suit Them. Nothing seems to be sacred in the sight of the socalled higher critics, whether they ai-e found in the church or out of it. ? Some of them has started a movement in church cir cles in England to submit a propo sition to the convocation at Canter bury looking to . making some changes in the Ten Commandments. Specially the second, fourth and tenth they think need abridgement in one way and another. Those who advocate the change contend that in their present form these'are too long and that furthermore they are out of harmony with modern ideas. The recitation of the fourth command ment is said to be a constant provo cation to useless discussion of the historicity of the first two chapters of Genesis, while the tenth is ob jected to on the ground that it places a man's wife and his ox in precisely the same category. "It is very improbable that the change will be officially Ruthor'jred and still los? likely that it will find favor if adopted/' remarks the Char lotte Observer. "The Ten Command ments have been regarded through many before our era as the law of God in a peculiar sense. Almost every other portion of the Penta teuch hns been battered by the high er critics in the matter of the date of Its origin; the vast majority of critics of every school now believe that the Decalogue, substantially as it is used today, dates from a gen eration very shortly following the Exodus from Egypt. The Creation j reference in tbe fourth command- j ment has weight of an example. to make the meaning clear and only J those ea?er for controversy will be 1 incited by it to plunge into the vexed | Genesis discussion. I Although the twentieth century j does not regard a man's wife and his j domestic animals as equally chat-, tel.-. it. is none the less supposed to j believe in the wrongfulness of covet ing either. Tt would seem that load-! i Iers of the Church might bo morel profitably employed than in striving. j to abridge a set of r?les which is j "=o vital to the whole Christian sys tem and which in its present form may be recited in a very few minutes' tWe." The Observer is right. One of the greatest troubles with the i church in the sensationalists in its I ranks, both among the clergy and j the laity; They have no piety or i faith to speak of, and they welcome 'all pU?r-ks made on the old doctrines 1 or the Church by the socalled higher j critics, because it gives them a i chance to ventilate their narrow un , scriptural views about things they 'know very little about. Better let I the old landmarks stand. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free. Wanted?To buy at once a gentle family horse. B. LVI. Foreman, 225 East.
