The fine January weather we have had for the past two weeks has been good for plowing and also good 1'or the use of the split log drag. The roads could be put in fine condition now with a little attention of tiie right kind. ?^? We do not know Mr. Garrison, who has been elected a member of the board of trustees of Clemson, but we know he displaces a mighty good man and one who is in the kind of work nn/Jnovririno- trv rlr\ A T? fl ciiu^a? \ji iu so is Mr. Garrison it is stated. He seems now to be employed by the college. It is unfortunate for the State and the- asylum that there should be thoSight to be necessity for an investigation. Not that we suppose any one objects to an investigation, but as investigations go there is always more or less politics mixed up with U '1 +V?/\w/% ?n nl Tfotrci c Am q nrt n tiicm auu iucic ia ai v> clj o oi/ujv, who wants to get political advantage out of them. We are afraid there is more or less politics in the investigation which has been requested. We are prompted to say this for the good of the institution. At tbe present stage of the development at the new asylum it would be unfortunate for tje State to .have the instituion brought into the mealstrom of politics. So far as we know, and we are in position to have some acquaintance with the facts, there is no one who is trying to make money out of any real estate deal who is connected with the institution in any way. And surely it could not be charged that Governor Blease is because 'he is on record as having very bitterly opposed the sale of the real estate in the city of Columbia. It is a pity tjiat we should all be so ready to question the motives of our neighbors. As to the management of the institution itself we are not in position to speak further than to say that we do not believe that it would be possible to find a more competent man than Dr. Babcock for superintendent. With an ^average of a hundred applications a mont'j for admission to the institution our energies should.be directed to making arrangements for the proper care of these un> fortunates and the management of the institution should be as far removed from politics as possible. TRUST MESSAGE Wilson's Words Fall on Willing Ears. ?Majority Leader Makes The Move. Washington, Jan. 20.?President Wilson's suggestion to congress today in his trust address that the government and business men are ready to meet each other half flvay "in a common effort to square business methods with the public opinion and the law" fell on attentive ears and struck a responsive chord in represenatives of differing political parties. "The atmosphere of cooperation and accommodation" in the message' the reform proposed, expressed in terms of conservatism, and the spirit nf frionHlinncc rn ciinorscK-lo antpo-n nism in dealing with big business, which dominated the presidents thought aroused expressions of approval from all sides. Few discordant notes were sounded in comments from congressmen who are to pass upon legislation urged to prohibit monopoly and hold men of business within the law. Listen lutfc.iiiy. Throughout the delivery of the address the assembled senators and representatives listened intently to every word, applauding frequently when ihe president began enumeration of evils which he believed needed remedying. His proposal for an interest trade commission to facilitate business and keep it in the straight path; the recommendation of laws to prohibit interlocking directorates and holding companies; suggestions for authority to regulate railroad securities for an net that would fix guilt upon individuals instead of punishing business, : nd that the courts be opened to indi* :duals harmed by illegal business? all these were recieved with general f io-.ts-idenccd by enthusiastic | applause. Before the plaudits ol' his audience had ceased, and as the president was ; passing from the house chamber, ! where his successive -appearances i since last April '.lave contributed to J ' the nation's history, his utterances ; had precipitated action. I'nderwood on Alert. I . .Representative Underwood, major-. I ity leader of the house, was the first I to act. As soon as the house recon- ! vened after the joint session, held to hear the president, he offered a motion to refer to the interstate and for eign commerce committee the sug- , gestions for the creation of an inter- j state trade commission, and for a law I empowering t'ne interstate commerce commission to regulate the insurance j of railroad securities, and to the i I committee on judiciary the proposals j relating to legislation designed to! supplement but not amend the Sherman anti-trust act. This motion was j ! adopted, and it later was announced ; that both committees would begin i work at once and arrange for public i < I | hearing. The action of the house in re-, ; i ferring portions of the message to the \ interstate and foreign commerce com- ] miUee, of which uepersentative! Adamson of Georgia is chairman, somewhat disturbed the programme; mapped out by the judiciary subcom- j mittee, headed by Representative Clayton of Alabama, which already j' has held hearing and prepared a tentative draft of a trade commission bill. |For Quick Work, Members of the house .judiciary committee and members of the senate interstate commerce committee, headed by Senator Newlands of Ne- !, vada. again conferred on plans for j. expediting the bills to be submitted to congress. Later Senator Xewlands talked with Joseph E. Da vies, com- j missioner cf corporations, who read j the trade commission biil proposed j by t'je judiciary subcommittee. This i, measure now will be introduced from j the senate committee probably to- j ! ; morrow. Expressions on the measure came j freely from senators and representa- j i tives, Democratic, Republican and | Progressive. The only unfavorable i J criticisms emanated frona progres- ^ gives. Representative MuraocK, tae third party leader, asserted that the suggestions for the solution of the trust evil were "inadequate" and would render the trust evil more' acute. ESTATE NOTICE.
