Vhroe Months. lfMSilrtmrrrr should be made by reg Mend Hotter, check, money order or expresii order, payable to The Times art Democrat, Orangeburg, S. C. Gov. Blease can now give some of Ids friends a chance at winding up the old State dispensary. Possibly, le mipht wind it up himself. Tom C. Hamer of Bennettsville -was elected head consul at the state convection of the Woodmen of the World in Columbia on Tuesday, and <3. A. Powers of Laurens head ad .visor. Governor Blease's effort to reflect on the gentlemen who have com posed the winding up commission of the old State Dispensary by perinp torlly rmoving them from office 13 unworthy of a man holding the high office be holds. The Hon. Champ Clark, of Mis souri, the coming Speaker of the House of Representatives, gives the following advice which is somewhat of a revision of the one once given by Horace Greeley. He says, "Go South, my boy, Go South." That is wholesome advice and we trust that it will be followed. The lack of conformity in the con stitutions of the states, especially in those of the newer states, is not without its advantages. Perfection in government is not yet reached, and with the increasing complexity of life it is well that experiments be tried cut that their value may be de termined, even if it does make Sen ator Bailey resign. Many features of some of the con stitutions of the older States are not adapted for these days, and the ma chinery of government necessarily needs readjustment at times because ct changing social, economic and po litical conditions. Under such cir cnmstances it is a benefit to have the light which the trying of new meth .ods naturally affords. The referen dum, the recall and all the others should be given a trial. The question of the low average of ministers salaries is again to the front. One way to increase salaries in many communities is by having fewer churches. If in a place there are six or eight struggling churches of the same denomination trying to do In a weak, unsatisfactory way what two strong churches could do ef fectively, the salaries of preachers are sure to be close down to the starving point. The Columbia Record says "here is a good chance for some enterprising town to get a strong, new enterprise. Th? people of Prairie. Wis.f which was a village before it was razed by the explosion of the DuPont powder works, have protested against the plant's being replaced. With a little Inducement the powder people might fbe prevailed on to select another sue. A powder manufactory might shake up a lot of slow towns. The Newberry Herald and News says: "It seems to us that the United States could very well have kept out of the Mexican muddle. We can see no reason for sending au armed force to the Mexican frontier unless the United States is hunting trouble, and the trouble about hunt ing trouble is that when a fellow looks for it he usually finds it." That army was sent down there to protect the property of Americans by intim idating the insurrectionists into sub mission. The effort to eliminite profanity from the plays given in many theatres deserves success. Such language is not only unnecessary, but is positive ly offensive to every well bred per son. The idea that vulgarity and profanity add to the strength and power of a man's utterance is wrong. There is a strength, charm and beau ty in purity of utterance that can not be approached by coarse billings gate or by making a character swear "like a trooper of Flanders." To live uncomplainingly for thirty years under suspicion of having com mitted a crime of which he was not guilty must demand au infinite amount of patience, courage, hope and several other good qualities. Yet this is what a man has done who a igeneration ago was suspected of hav ing robbed the mails of several thou sand dollars. That the circumstan tial evidence was very strong against him, but served to make the burden heavier that he was carrying. A professor of one of our large universities recently spoke on the j marriage and divorce problem. In so doing he asked and answered the question, "What is love?" Possibly he has had experimental knowledge of the subject and therefore his an swer was doubtless satisfactory to himself and pleasing to his audience. Still we doubt if it surpassed or even equalled the old definition that "love is love." In that there is a charm ing simplicity and it leaves so much for the imagination. 81.50 .75 .40 Sizing Up Bailey. The News and Courier sizes up Bailey just about right, according to our notion. The News and Courier says "some correspondent, for reas ons of his own, one day sent out from Washington the statement that Bal j ley was an Intellectual giant witn J more knowledge and more brains than any other man in the Senate. Forthwith the country took the truth of the assertion for granted, and it is the fashion nowadays to speak of the Texan with .bated breath, as if he were indeed a mental Hercules, able and willing to destroy all adver saries." The News and Courier la some what incredulous, and Is not dis posed to accept all that is said about Bailey as law and gospel. "As a matter of fact, what has Senator Bailey ever done to earn such a reputation? In the .great de bates on the tariff summer before last, was his voice ever strong in opposition to. the monstrous measure finally enacted? Was it he or Dolll ver who shattered the arguments of Senator Aldrich? What statesman like policy Ib associated with Bailey's name? Where has his resistless logic put that of Root to shame, or was (Mr. Knox, when a Senator, a pigmy beside him?" asks The News and Courier That is pretty heavy on Bailey, but The News and Courier keeps on hitting him, and finally knocks him completely out and leaves him. It asks: "Has not his vaunted intel lectuality, in fact, been nothing more than opposition to tho policies of his party? Perhap3 hi? skill in beclouding Democratic doc.rine has been mistaken for perspicacity of a high order. Does his intellectuality outshine that of John Sharp Wil liams or Woodrow Wilson? Has he not rather, in fact, 'mugwumped' himself into a reputation? There are many who think he hau." Poor Bailey. He seems to he regarded as a kind of political Benedict Ar nold. As to Infantile Paralysis. The interview of Dr. Fiexner, of the Rockefeller Institute, about in fantile paralysis, reprinted in The Times and Democrat today from the New York Times, Bhould have the attention of the people of South Car olina. Last summer twenty or more cases of the disease appeared in Charleston and there have been oth er cases in many other parts of the State in the last two years. The I State'says: "The disease is one of a peculiarly distressing nature. Though the mor tality is not especially great, it fre quently leaves its victims hopeles3 cripples and heretofore the medical profession has been practically help less in dealing with it. No cure ha3 yet been found for it but Dr. Flexner, said to be the leading authority in the world on the disease, announces that its germ has been discovered and he holds out a prospect of the^ discovery of a remedy. At present the physicians and the people must be content, for the most part, to take measures to prevent Incection and the soread of the disease and what these measures should be are de scribed in Dr. Flexner's interview. "No one can tell whether or not the disease will be a serious menace in South Carolina In the coming or in another summer. In sc-ne parts of the country Its ravages have been dreadful. Intelligent men and wo men as well as physicians should in form themselves in a general way about it and Dr. Flexner's interview offers that opportunity." Going for Bailey. "The best and most selfish act of his life" is the way the N. Y. Jour nal characterized the resignation of Bailey from the senate In an editorial written on the subject. But before the editorial could be printed Bailey had withdrawn his resignation. But with a word of explanation the Jour nal printed the editorial anyway. It was too good a chance to say a few things about the Texas senator and the Journal went on to say them. Says the Journal of Bailey: "Bailey of Texas, Bailey of the Senate, Bailey of No. 26 Broadway? where the Standard 0,1 has its of fices?Bailey of the ?.rchbold let ters, says he is going to resign from the Senate. ;"If he Cells )the truth, he an nounces the best and most useful act of his life. "His closing efforts in the Senate well became his general reputation and the average of his record. "He spent hours defending with his borid, vulgar, half-educateu spouting a man who went to the Senate on votes bought with bribe money. "Bailey, in this long drawn out swan song in favor of the bribe-seat ed Senator, spoke with great con tempt of 'a little corruption', as wno should say, 'What, after all, is a little corruption amons; United States Senators?' "Bailey held, and the Senate itself held by a very narrow margin, that the Senate of the United States is the most appropriate abiding place for a man of the bribe-giving type." What Constitutes Success? Success is usually estimated by the size of one's banking account. That is but a coarse and niercenc *y way of judging. It leaves out of reckon ing other considerations, the pos session or the absence of which can alnne det ermine whether a man has or has not made a success of life. The idle rich who toil not and spin not, but who squander time, money and health in fast living may. indeed, be termed wealthy men, but no sen sible person would call them success ful. To turn night into day, to spend large sums of money upon actresses, to drink and gamble, all this stamps a man as disreputable, a disgrace to society, and a failure, for there can be no true success without charac ter. But there are wealthy men whose lives are free from vice and who seem to be a very patterc of prosperity, who yet axe anything but successful. And this Is because much of their wealth Is made .by constant violation of law and by unrighteous attitude towards their business competitors. A man is nothing but a failure who makes his money by the sacrifice of conscience and of business honor. Nor Is that man to be conslderea successful who constantly absorbs money and gives nothing out. To live for one's self and Ignore the reasonable claims of others may re sultyin added wealth, but he who so lives misses the best part of life ana therefore that life Is a failure. The first essential of all success in life is character, and without it no amount of money can avail. This is a fact that should be impressed upon all who are in training for business life. Not only is it true that "hon esty is the best policy," .but it is the only high principle on which to con duct business.
