WEELY NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON (Special Correspondence.) Washington, June 12.-President Hardlng's plight resulting from the expose of Attorney General Daugh erty recalls the famous toast to the ladies: We can't get along without them and w can't get along with them." From the viewpoint of orthodox party men, it is inconceivable that President Harding will request Mr. Daugherty to retire. It was Daugh erty who made President Harding what he is today, and it is generally believed here that the President will stick to him regardless of conse quences, through that mistaken sense of loyalty conspicujus in weak men and even in inexperienced men of greater strength of character. On the other hand, to astute poli ticians as well as to the average citi zen it is inconceivable that a Presi dent would retain as a member of his Cabinet a person under such a variety of attacks as the present Attorney General and retain his own self re spect or show a decent respect to public opinion. Many of the mots important papers of the country, Republican and Inde pent, as well as Democratic, are de manding Attorney General Daugh erty's resignation, and these are de mands which apparently are giving the administration some concern, as witness the week-end cruise of the Mayflower, on which the President had as his guests Attorney General Daugherty, Secretary of War Weeks, Senator Harry S. New and the as sistant Warwick of the administra tion, Chairman.Lasker of the Ship ping Board, the best advertising agent that ever occupiel that position. It :is understood that the Daugherty case was discussed, and the impres slon given out after the return to Washington is that the President will ptand by Attorney General Daugh erty. If this inipression is correct it is bily another illustration of the close political personal bond of friend ship between the President and Mr. Daugherty. They have been life long associates, as close as David and Jonathan, McKinley and Mark Hanna or the Siamese Twins, lacking the physical membrane. And Attorney General Daugherty is the dominating spirit of the Harding administration. President Harding knew exactly what kind of a man he was putting in the Attorney . General's office. Daugh erty was his personal appointee, and President Harding must bear in a large measure the responsibility of Mr. Daugheity's acts, although his party mus. share the responsibility, for it we ; a Republican Senate which confirmed him against a nation-wide protest. Morse Pardon Petitions Increase Moral Turpitude. Te attempt of Attorney General Daugherty to shield himself in the Morse case by getting behind the peti tions for Morse's pardon signed by Senators and Representatives and other prominent men has not created the favorable impression evidently hoped for and expected. These peti tions were obtained by the wife of Charles W. Morse based upon repre sentations that Morse was in a dying conditions, and few men are able to resist the appeal of a sorrowing wife and mother in such circumstances. Instead of strengthening the At torney General's position, it has strengthne' the case against him in the minds of those who had taken the trouble to analyze it. It is adimitte-l now that President Taft was deceived as to Moi m's cond itioin, and these Senators muid Represenltat ives oblvi ously also w.'re .deceived.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLNI Entrance Examinatioins Entrance examinations to the Uni vorsity of South Carolina will b held by the Couinty Superinterfden of Education at the County Cour House Friday, July 14th, 1922, a 9 a.'m. . The University offers varied cours es of study in science, literature, his tory, law and business. The expensel ire moderate and many opportunities for self-support are afforded. Scholar ships are available. For full par ticulars write to PRESIDENT W. S. CURRELL, University of South Carolina, 22-3t-c Columbia, S. C. causes him to wonder what knowledg< of guilt on the'part of big Republicans may cause the leaders to refuse at al cost to permit the lifting of the vei which partly covers the doings of the Department of Justice. It will be recalled that when the Republicans, with the aid of every in terest that could not use Presideni Wilson, carried the House in 1918, the first thing they did was to create the Graham Smnelling Committee, whose purpose was to dig up enough Demo. cratic venality in connection with war contracts to damn the party for forty years to cone. That committee sat and labored through winter's snow and summer's sun and finally reported that the finger of suspicion pointed in the direction of one great corporation -the Standard Steel Company of Pittsburgh, controlled by Andrew W. Mellon, who, shortly thereafter, was appointed by the President to take complete charge of the people's funds in his capacity as Secretary of the Treasury. The ardor which tho' Re publicans showed in creating the Gra ham Committee and in giving it plen teous funds and sweeping authority is sadly missing when it is now pro posed to investigate one of the mem bers of the Republican cabinet. After the Committee on Rules had favorably voted the Woodruff-Johnson resolution out of the Committee, pres sure from some high source must have been exerted upon Chairman Campbell to cause him to at first fail to report the resolution, and later to refuse to report it and finally to have the Com mittee vote to rescind its action. It must be humiliating to Republicans in the country to read of such perfor mances on the part of the men they elected to Congress. When the mat ter came up in the House two Demo crats signally distinguished themsel ves by the power, lucidity and ability of their utterances-Finis Garrett of Tennessee and Walton Moore of Vir ginia. Their speeches pointed oul clearly the merits of the controversy and held the Republicans up to a richly-merited ridicule. Mr. Garreti ceneludled with these words: "Mr. Speaker, it is extremely pain ful to have to indulge in this sort of talk, but I wish it understood here and now that never at any time dur. ing the Democratic administration, 01 now, has there been an objection fron any individual, from the former Pre sident of the United States down t< every man who had any discretion in official activity, to an investigation The gentleman from Kansas makes at assault upon the past administration The committee that you would create if the gentleman had stood by hi vote, would investigate the past ad ministration. It would add to the Graham investigation, if it could. The house organization is in the hands o: thei Republicans, The Republicanm woul' not suffer and injustice by n committee that might be appointed and the Democrats would be investi gated and the Democratic administra tion would be investigated as well am the Republicans, and they arerad f'or it.

Congressman 'Walton Moore, in dis cussing Chairman Campbell's remark able flip-flop, said in part. "The chairman of the committee on the 3rd of May voted for the resolu tion, and except for his so voting it could not have been -passed, and now, forsooth, the chairman stands here and sayp the* criticisms he hears in regard to the Attorney General and in regard to this whole business, makes him think of the issue from the mout hof a sewer. Yet he is respon sible for those criticisms having been deliberately considered and for the re solution to investigate having been adopted. After the Attorney Gen eral had been in the office for more than a year, listening to and consid ering the charges' against himn, the chairman of the committee was instru mental in having the resolution passed by his committee and directed to be brought before the House. "No*, I wish to say this-and I speak for myself, and I think I can speak for every -member of this side of the House--th'at anyone who direct ly or indirectlc charges that we who favor an investigation, who favor it, among other reasons, cecause the sentiment of the countrd calls for an investigation, that we are endeavor ing to prevent the prosecution and conviction of malefactors can receive but one answer. If any such asser tion should be made with respect to 'me or any of the gentlemen who sur round me upon this side it shall be an swered in only one way, and that by a sharp, short word of three letters. "When I have the time - and strength, not as a partisan but as an American citizen and Representative and as an Amerig an lawyer, I am go ing to discuss the record of the At torney General since he took office. If the opportunity is afforded me, I shall undertake to show that his conduct is unparalleled so far in the history of the Department of Justice, and that if there ever was an official anywhere who ought to court investigation, if innocent, and, if guilty, ought to be brought to the bar of the Senate, it is the Attorney General; and when I deal with the subject, I shall not con fine myself altogether to the war fraud cases, so called, but shall in clude cases which have arison since the close of the war." The Central Control of the Republi can party got another distinct shock from the nomination of Brookhart for the Senate in Iowa. Henry Wal lace, who runs an intensely partisan paper in Des Moines, and who tries to make the farmers vote as he die tates, will have much to swallow if he supports Brookhart in November. Wallace proved, at least to his own satisfaction, that Brookhart is thoro ughly unfitted for the job. Daugherty, in his effort to take public attention from scandals affect ing his administration of the Depart ment of Justice, gives it out that some fl:h pirates are trying to steal all the fish in Alaskan waters. That would be a nice scheme, if it would work. Just at this juncture, however, Mr. Sutherland, Republican delegate in Congress from Alaska, bluntly an nounces that the whole thing is a lie. Mr. Daugherty should first have made sure of Mr. Sutherland's sympathetic co-operation. TAPEWORIMS IN FOWLS Clemson College, June 12.-Fowls are often infested with several spec ies of small tapeworms, which may occur in the intestines in such numbiers that they seriously injure the health of the birds. One of these tapewvorms, known as the spiny suckered tapeworm (D~avainea echi nobothridla), is of especial interest to poultry raisers, since it pr'oducca small nodules in the intestines closely resembling the nodules caus ed by tuberculosis. If intestinal nodules arc found in birds infested with tapieworms, if the liver is not affected, and if other symptoms of tuberculosis, such as lameness, are not present, the condition may be considered to be causedl by tape worms and not by tuberculosis. The tapewvorms are usually found attach edl at one endl to the mucous surface of the intestine, and the nodules are dlue to the irritation thus prodlued. From what is so far known of the life cycle of chicken tapeworms it may be stated that the eggs of the tapeworms pass out of the bodies of infested chicks with the droppings adare eaten by various insects andl other small invertebrates, within wihthey undlergo a partial (level opment. If the infected insects are then eaten by chicks, the tapeworms reach their complete development in the intestines. For this reason fowls can not infect one another di rectly thru their droppings, as hap peiis in the case of roundworms. However, as It is neither practicable nor (desirable to prevent chickens from eating insects, treatment and preventive measures shouldl be di rectedl towardl removing the tape worms from the birds and properly dlisposing of the manure to reduce the chances of the infection being spreadl to possible intermediate hosts. A number of treatments for tape worms in fowls have been tested by the nuamu of Animal rInustry but.
