The Columbia State of last Sunday contains an able as well as an interesting editorial to show what the success of Jap aneze arms will mean to the United States, and from this edi torial we are more fully con vinced of the correctness of the views advocated by Hon. John L. McLaurin. The State may regard . McLaurn's expansion and protection theories the principles of Republicanism, but any careful reader of The State's own editorial expression in the article we refer to, must be convinced that the time for clinging to the ancient ideas of the leaders of days gone by, when this country was not much more than a speck on the map, has passed, and, that with the growth and development of a world power country,the demand for progress and expansion is necessary. This country has reached a stage where it must seek mar kets for its progressi and with the isthmusian canal bringing us in closer communication with China and Japan, we need Amer ican shios to come in competi tion with foreign shipping that our commerce can reach the new countries about to be developed, and thereby create new commer cial fields to market the products of the South. It does seem to us that if Congress will encour age American ship building, the same as several countries in Europe do their's, there is no reason why the demand for cot ton goods will not be many times greater than now, and accord ing to the natural laws of sup ply and demand, the product of Southern farmers will be vastly enhanced thereby. Expansion and subsidies might have been first thought out by. the Republican party, but that shouldl not stand in the way of our, progress if to accomplish -good results for our people we are benefitted by them. The South is an important part of this great government, and if protecting our products, and the granting of subsidies will give us faster and cheaper carrying facilities into markets-yet to be1 opened, it stands to reason that values will be enhanced, and we should be glad for our govern ment to give such legislation. - The State contends that "tariff for protection is a Republican principle, and those who advo cate it are Republicans, what ever they may choose to call 'themselves." In this assertion we cannot agree, because some of our great est Democratic statesman were Protectionists. Samuel J. Ran dall who, in his life-time was regarded as one of our greatest leaders, represented in Congress for many years a State, the pro ducts of which were greatly en hanced by a protective tariff, and notwithstanding his advo cacy of protection be was the Democracy's chosen floor leader in Congress and when the Demo crats came into power he was made the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Our own State sent to Congress Hon.1 George D. Tillman who was a strong advocate of protection. and was greatly admired by the State for his statesmanship. The State did not charge Ran dall or Tillman with being Re publicans, then why now charge those who believe the protection of Southern products will bene fit our people, with Republican ism? We regard such matters as business policies and not political principles, and we are willing to accent from our government any legislation which appeals to our mind as being beneficial regard less of political party. If by national legislation means can be devised to put the products of the South on a pros perous basis, we want it. The moping around the graves of political leaders who passed away in the time when their leadership was good, is doing us no good now, what we want is something which -will give us the means to develop the soil, educate the children and put us on an equal footing in the world's race with sections of this country that are rich and growing richer.I There was a time when a mere hint that a man was advocating - Republican ideas would have the1 effect of politically damning such an one, but as the people become more educated, they also become more tolerant, and independent; therefore, when a newspaper charges Republicanism these days, the people want to know wnether the thing called Repub licanism is good or bad. If it is bad they want to reject it, if good, they want what is in it for them, and they do not care whether it is a principle of the Republican or Democratic plat form, and, when Mr. McLaurin urged a tariff on cotton and gov ping, the politicians would not let his views be discussed, and kept the people in ignorance, but since that time they have had their eyes opened, and they are demanding that there should be a free and fair discussion, and the cry of ,'wolf when there is no wolf" will not be accepted. We take pleasure in reproduc ing the State's Sunday editorial believing it a splendid argument to sustain the position which John L. McLaurin has been ad vocating these many years. WHAT JAPANSE SUCCESS MEANS TO US. Japan's success in the present war, brilliant and complete, seems now to be 'inevitable. The unequaled endurance and courage of her soldiers. the resist less energy of officers and men, the splendid equipment for war as the re sult of years of preparation, the alert ness and lofty spirit of the entire peo ple combined with the magnificent strategy of generals in the field and commanders at sea, overmatched from the very beginning her big but slug gish foe. The sweeping victory of Ja pan has indeed, been apparent from the day on which her ships under Togo and Uiiu struck those sharp and decisive blows in the harbors of Port Arthur and Chemuloo that crippled Russia's seapower and startled the whole world. After a series of victories on land and sea-superb achievements that have added more than a dozen names to the brief roll of immortals-peace is not only inevitable, but near. What will Japan's tremendous tri umph mean for us? This, after all, is the most interesting of a score of prob lems involved in the amazing success of Nippon. At first sight it seems a purely selfish view, utterly material and gross. There should be. it would seem, better fruits of the great sacri tices made by the heroic Japanese than mere material benefits to ourselves and there are. The Japanese them selves will expect, first of all, a great uplifting,' as the chief prize of war. There must come a tremendous energy, devoted to political, commercial and ethical purposes, as one of the chief powers aroused by the titanic struggle, for such struggles serve to strengthen national fibre and to inspirit a people. But it is exactly this development of the Japanese that will be of the great est benefit to us, who face Japan across the ever-narrowing waters of the Pa cific. If Japan is not developed and uplifted by her magnificent triumph no advantage to us would derive from mere military victories. On the other hand, if Japan advances, as she must, we must share in her wider develop ment, reaD part of the great harvest of trade she prenares, rejoice and ben efit in the literary and ethical awaken ing of her people. It is not, therefore, merelv a selfish view to take of the ?robable results of the war, since we cannot benefit unless Japan benefits far more than we. It is, indeed, only her higher development that can be of in terest to us. The first result of the triumph of Ja pan, and the one that most engages the attention of the chancelleries of Europe and of the State department at Wash ington, is of course the very consider able expansion of Japanese territory. it is hardly to be expected that any European power will step in between Japan and her just spoil of war, as Russia stepped in when China had turned over to Nippon the peninsula on which stand Port Arthur and Dalny -a rash and ungracious act which has finally brought its fatal consequences home to the Russians. Japan will doubtless demand-and Russia mustd and the rest of the world will, recog nize the demand-Korea. Sakhalin and the Liao-tung peninsula. This will add several millions of people to the Japan ese empire and practically double the size of Japan. *Within this new terri tory there will at once spring into be ing new energies, the energies of a virile and resourceful nation stirred to greater potency by a brilllant and vic torious struggle with the greatest mili tary power of the Western world. Cit ies will grow as they have never before grown in Asia, and great marts of trade wiil develop at Dalny and at ports in Korea. These seaports will become the distributing points of the commerce of a hundred million people, a popula tion far greater than that of the United States. That Japan will try to hold the great bulk of this trade is to be expected; but, as Baron Hayashi, the Japanese ambassador at London, has pointed out, se can control only that uortion of it that will~ fall to her by reason of her geographical position. Japan has never shut the doors against opportunity, and she will allow free scope to this country and to the rest of the world in the commerce of Eastern Asia. Now no other country except Japan herself, is so advantageously situated to profit by this growing trade as the United States. We have the unrivaled advantage of a clear waterway, less than one-half the distance from British or other European ports to the nearest Japanese parts. The Siberian railway will never be able to compete with un trameled water route of the Pacific, and the real rivalry will Be between the route via the Suez canal and the Indian ocean and that of the direct and far shorter route across the Pacific. The mere natural advantages on the side of this country are sufficient to give the victory to us. rbe Japanese, it should be borne in mind, expect the Pacific to be the greatest of all trade routes, and are confident that the rich est traffic of the world will soon flow between the ports of Japan and those of the United States. The opening of the Panama canal will of course multi ply our advantages by bringing our eastern coast so near to Japan and China as to give us a better opportun ity thani now possessed by Europe for handling far eastern trade. It is to be confidently expected, therefore, that the war should Japan win will result in the tremendous development of com merce in the far east and this country will procure, next to Japan, the largest share of this trade. There is another reason for expect ing this country to share liberally in the development of the trade of the far east. This is the fact that the Japanese recognize tbat the United States leads the world in material progress and they wish to reconstruct their commerce, their industry, their agriculture, even along American lines. American ma chinery and American methods are far more highly esteemed in Japan than those of any European country. Japan ese youth will still be sent to France and Germany to study military science. though the -French and Germans could more profitably go for instruction to the feet of Japan, but the Japanese will no longer study the machinery and methods of Europe. These they con sider as absolete, and they are looking to the farthest wvest for light. Nothing but the most advanced methods will satisfy this marvelous people. They are quick to find the best in every depart ment of occidental life, as quick to as similate it, and as quick to improve on it. They will ultimately assimilate our methods and improve on them, and then we shall have to find new energy and inspirations to keep in advance of hem, possibly, to keep abreast of hem: but for many years Japan will took to this country for guidance and ~ilustration. She will imitate us, she will buy our machines, she will pur hase our products of mill and farm. 3f course she will also sell us many of er- own products, to our lasting ma ~erial and ethical advantage. The re ult will be the closest of commercial inions-cosest of rivalries, also-be ~ween the so-called Yankees of the east and the Yankees of the west. Such friendly relations will not fail to be of us the ideal opportunity for developing our trade on the Pacific, of converting that vast ocean into another Atlantic "ferry." Its coasts should be frequent ed by ships bearing American goods, and ultimately by American ships when we again begin to build our own ships. It is generally overlooked that Japan always keeps a number of commission ers or special students in the United States for the sole purpose of studying our methods and machinery. Every de velopment in our cotton mills. every i.dvance in our industrial system, every change in our method of commerce, is at once noted, and if it is found fitted to conditions in Nippon it is immediate ly adopted. This keen appreciation of American things will give us an in creasing advantage over our European rivals for trade in the far east. Whatever is said here as applying to Japan and the territory that she is soon to incorporate in her empire ap plies also to China, for the reason that. China is now to be instructed, guided and developed by Japan, Japan will train her armies, organize her fleets. methodize her commerce, and pro foundly inflnence her private and pub lic life. And precisely as Japan throws open to us the doors of Korea and Man churia, she will indirectly throw open to as the doors of China and of other lands that are dominated by the Yellow race. No such opportunity was ever be fore offered to a commiercial people as is now offered to America in the awakening of Asia that will immediate ly follow the triump. of Japan.-The State. $100 Reward, $100.

The naming of a battleship in honor of "South Carolina" was indeed a very neat recognition of the magnificient service Con gressman George S. Legare is rendering to his State. Mr. Le gare is of a do-something-mould, and it is that quality in him which has won the esteem of the President, who is built on similiar lines. How much better for the people is it when a Rep resentative w)rks to accomplish material results-, than to be con stantly waving a red flag to arouse prejudice that - can ac complish nothing. Legare is do ing excellent work, and the fact that he has friends in the Re publican ranks fits him the better to help his own people. The rest of the delegation might follow Legare's example. The News and Courier pro poses to take a conspicuous place in the State's progressive #rocession-a place away up in front.

"THE BLOTTED PAGE." A Dezense In a London Paper of American Spelling. A United States citizen of consider able scientific attainments was good enough to give to a representative of the Daily Graphic what may be called the American view of British spelling. "I see," he remarked, "that some of the correspondents of the Daily Graph ic have been complaining of the dis figurement of English books by Ameri can spelling. I should like to tell you that we think our way is right and that your way is wrong, and perhaps your editor will not mind if I venture on a few remarks in defense of our corrections. For example, we write 'favor' and 'honor.' Weil, 'favor' and 'honor' are nearer the Latin original than 'favour' and 'honour,' which have acquired their unnecessary 'u' by com ing through the French." "But if they have been spelled 'hon our' and 'favour' for centuries, why change them now?" "Why not? They were as often spell ed 'favor' and 'honor' in Shakespeare's day as 'favour' and 'honour.' You must remember that spelling was extremely uncertain in those Elizabethan days, whence we are believed to have drawn the well of English undefiled. Ben Jonson and Shakespeare, for example, spell 'recede' in four other ways-'re cead,' 'receade,' 'receed,' 'receede.'" "Let us leave 'honour.' How do you defend 'center?'" "Why should you spell it 'centre' when you write 'perimenter' and 'di ameter' and when Shakespeare wrote 'scepter?' By history and analogy 'cen ter' Is more easily to be justified than 'centre.' Then again," continued the United States citizen, warming up to his subject, "you write 'criticise,' and we write 'criticize,' but our version harks back to the Greek original; you write 'almanac,' but why don't you write 'almanack,' which is more ar chaic? You blame us for 'program,' but you put down 'dram' without a scruple. Many English people write 'tyre' for 'tire,' which any phililogist knows to be a gross error, and almost every Eng lishman, for no reason whatever, writes 'waggon' instead of 'wagon.' You know what Horace Greeley said when he was reproached for making that mistake. He said he had been taught spelling In the good old times, when people built 'waggons' heavier."-Lon don Graphic.
