There is one thing the people must not lose sight of in con nection with the county's finan cial deficit, it is the tremendous amount of tax dodging there has been in Clarendon within the past two years. It is well to say the county is in debt, but it would also be well to say "By my act I helped to put it in such a fix." There is plenty of law in the statutes to get every piece of property on the books, ai:d there is also plenty of law to en force the collection of the taxes; no law can enforce itself, and no law is worth the paper it is written on if it gets no more at tention than the occasional crit icism of a grand jury, the mem bers of which are probably as responsible for the failure of the law being carried out as the other people. But this aside, if - the county is as deeply in debt as the employed expert says, then it is evident something must be done at the next legis lature to relieve the people of this condition as easily as possi ble; to levy a tax to meet the condition would be ruinous, it would be a confiscation of prop erty, therefore, the exercise of good business judgment must be had, and if the masses will do as patriotic citizens should, they will not be urged to vote for legislators who are labeled with factionalism, but they will vote for men who have the in terest of the county at heart, and vote for such whether they are agreed with them on candidates for governor, or United States senator. The county should be fit st, let us have representation that will not be controlled by little caucuses, the leaders of which have axes to grind-today they are with one faction, and when it suits them to use the other side they go over horse, foot and dragoon; with them it is "git thar Eli," and then they have the laugh on the other fel low,, if they succeed in their Purpose. If Roosevelt succeed~s in elect * ng Gifford Pinchot United States Senator over Senator Penrose in Penusylvania, the country at large will have to ac knowledge that the man from the River of Doubt has discovered, -another stream which can bear the name of Salt Creek. The Mexican trouble is,accord ing to the press dispatches, fast coming toan end. The me diators have outlined their pro -poals for peace, and the details for future deliberations will be worked out so that the Ameri e an government will after a few months be able to withdraw its1 troops, and turn the new order of affairs over to a provisional government agreeable to all con cerned. The Columbia Record jumps at~wrong conclusions when it says the Timese ditor isapolitical ally 1of Mayor Grace, there is no foun dation for such a statement ex cept in the imagination of the Record's editor. The Times ed itor would however, feel as proud of his political affiliation with Mayor Grace as he would with that of Sheriff Martin, who *by the way,isthe Record editor's brother in-law. There is no doubt in our mind that the Grace faction in Charleston is bad, but whether that faction is forced to extremes by the bad methoas of the Martin faction we do not know, both of these factions are the limit, and should be ostracis ed from affiliation with State politics. The ramming of the Empress of Ireland in the St. Lawrance river, and the sending of a thousand souls to eternity will give the hysteric newspapers another subject to theorize upon. ~ There is no doubt the sinking of Iis vessel was a terrible catas igone which sends a pang S sow to the human heart,but j ~ ~utse any use in adding ~ j~tI3t&by columns of edi ~3i4~Udi gni g those charg tg & ibility. We ev{pa of both ~ can A ien~o *eI o eo When Old Man Joe Cannon gets on the stump this summer the way he will go at the fellows that turned him down in the Presidential tidal wave will be a caution.
