To the Editor of The State: i The past 18 months have been fraught with new perplexing political f questions, following each other in such rapid succession that even our government officials have had only limited time in which to consider many of j them. So far our government has; kept this nation from entangling for-! eign complications. The president, the : senate and house of representatives, bv the constitution, are our legally au- j tnorized representatives for the con-! trol and management of all the for-j eign relationships of this nation. Their authority has never been questioned, until the present, but now our country, amazed at the audacity of the man, stands waiting for the showdown of a : sudden farce that will carry in its trail a precedent for bolder and bolder as- j saults on the liberties of our republic,: as men with money behind them lose, sight of patriotism for their own sel- j fish purposes. The present war will pile up in this country fortunes of immense propor-1 Lion. And the money power that was in the hands of the Rockefellers, Carnegie and the Morgans will be divided >ut between new and unknown men who with sudden riches and the lust for power that money gives will be; eager to press themselves forward, j And in these new and untried hands { we may well fear that it will be a J greater danger and menace than it! has been in the past. We can see in the present peace' movement what money can make of; a man; for without any definite plan i made known to the public, or even to | those whom he chooses as his asso- \ ?iates, the promoter of this scheme, i 3ne of our money kings, steps forward j to change the existing plan of man- j aging our foreign relations with other, countries; offers an outing on a scale j O To T7lc}l 1 UL DUl/ii 1.L1CI ?3X1111 u AU.VAWJU. ( display of money, as even startles ; those whom he invites to be his as- i sociates. Now, I would like each citizen to : answer this question for himself: Who ; nut^orized this man of money to play ;Ve ] art of host; who authorized the i selection of his guests, and what qual- j ifications has he or his guests for membership in a world's peace con- j ference? Has any state authority selected as ; its representative one of these guests i in v it or? atfonrl tVii? npafo rnnfpr-: ence? Has our national government appointed a representative to any such assembly? Are the interests of the nation in one mans hands? Has a man and his money already grown so arrogant and powerful that he dares assume such a role? And every man who accepts the invitation and attends this meeting should ask himself this question: What am I going for? Is it merely for a' crro-nr? nnh'no' \vit"h a trin 3f*TWftC tVlP i ??) 1 Ci XI U V U Viu^ " A Mil M> V4 4 M xy -.- -w water, the company, the personal j pleasure I shall enjoy without its cost- : ing me a cent? While at the same; time he must realize the position he ^ j places himself in, the obligation to act , and vote as suits "mine host;" and will j he not feel also that any set of men, : I so gathered together, would mnkp any j . _ i action they may take the "joke of the j season.'^We want to see peace in Europe, j This war has caused much loss and j disaster to the South and her pros- I perity will be restored only by the i ending of the war. The South is a , unit for peace and so is the United ! States. The constitution places the j control of the foreign relations of this ! country in the hands of the president and congress and any effort at inter fi-rence with such control deserves a | stern rebuke with some real punish- ' ment if the law can reach the crime, j For wealth and money should not en-, wrap a man as to render him less liai ble for an act dangerous to the life of Hie republic than the desperado who on the Meixcan border takes the life of an American citizen. The one shoots tho man and is caught and hung; the other with his money inaugurates an interference with the vested authorities of ihe nation and makes a precedent, the repetition of; wnich m bolder nan as wouia siriKe ai. the life of toe republic.

PEOPLES OF THE WORLD, j The Aryan or White Race and Its Nu- j merous Divisions. The division of the earth's popula- ! tion according to race is as follows: Indo-Germanic or Aryan race (white). I occupying Europe, America. Persia, In- | dia and Australia, about 773.000,000; j \frtn<mitan or Turanian (Yellow and : D .. brown), living in Asia, about US2.000,- j 000; Semitic (whitei. living in Asia, j Arabia, etc., about tl"'mju.000; negro j and Bantu (black). fiHul in Africa. | about 150.000.0wu: Malay and Polyne- f; Bian (brown), inhabiting Australasia. | about 35,000,000; American (Indian red). * found in North and South America. ; number, including halfbreeds, about J 25.000,000. The Slavs are one of the chief divi- j sions of the Aryan race. Tney are di- ' vided, as a race, into two leading fam- j ilies. the eastern and western Slavs, j The eastern Slavs comprise the Russians rfireat Russians. Little Russians and White Russians): Bulgarians. Ser- j bo-Croats, including the Serviaus and Montenegrins, and Slovenes in Carin- i thia. Carniola and part of Syria.

Swimming too near the brink of the ; fulls, hundreds of water birds, even swans, ducks and ircese. go over Niag- i ara falls to their death each year in 1 the migratory season. So many birds , pay the penalty for their daring each j vear that bird lovers on both the1 i American and Canadian sides of the | falls are considering steps to lessen the annual toll of the feathered life. j Sirica ji maioritv of the victims are claimed in the night, the theory is ad-. vanced that the birds go to sleep while' swimming and don't wake up until the | rapids have carried them over the dan- j ger line. Usually they are killed out-! right in the fall. Sometimes they are i only stunned and are picked yut of the river below the falls and sold for food, j In 1912. so Ernest Harold Baynes,! the naturalist, relates. 140 whistling J swans went over Horseshoe falls, j Boys and men fished the birds out.; knocked them on the head and sold j them.

Washington, Dec. 4.?South Carolina's position in committee influence in the house of representatives as a result of the selections made by tk.3 ways and means majority and ratified by the Democratic caucus this afternoon. is stronger than in the last con gress. Mr. Whaley made a striking advance, going to the committee on the judiciary, which Is one of the several committees which are so important that members who secure assignments to them are not allowed to serve on any other committee at the same tim*>. Mr. Finley retains his position as ranking member of the postoffice committee, also one of the big committees. Mr. Lever remains chairman of agrU cultural committee, another of thQ major class. ,Mr. Aiken continues as the ranking member of the committee on the restrict of Columbia, and also has places on the committees on the census and - \ on expenditures in the navy department. Mr. Byrnes is made chairman of the committee on mileage, and in addition is placed on the committees on merchant marine and fisheries, roads and war claims. Mr. Ragsdale, retiring from the . banking and currency committee, obtains positions on the committees on foreign affairs, District of Columbia and industrial arts and expositions. Mr. Nicholls gets on military affairs, performing the feat of landing on one of the leading committees at the very start. Friends of Representative Byrnes made a strong fight to put him on the appropriations committee as the successor of former Representative Johnson, and he came very near winning, but the Texas influence in behalf of Representative Buchanan of that state was too powerful to be overcome. Texas has a member of the ways and means committee as well as two members of the cabinet. Merchant marine and fisheries, however is a more important committee than Mr. Eyrnes had in the last congress, and is increasing in importance all the time. STATE SCHOOL MONEY Superintendent C. P.
