APRIL 1L 191L ] J. - - - - - < Some States, judging from the appropriations made, are more ( careful about the welfare of s hogs than of children, and some j people have the same disposition. ( This is because hogs have a j recognized market value while , children have not. Hogs can always be disposed of at Chicago, Kansas City and other markets, ( but not children. The merce- j nary spirit is probably responsi- J t ble for the opposition to the i creating of a "Children's Bu- , reau" in connection with the j Federal Department of Commerce and Labor, although no . one will confess it. Ostensibly the opposition generally is based on constitutional or other political grounds, but the underlying j motive with most opponents is y greed. For the sake of profit ( frnm nhilH Inhnr manufacturers t and other employers are prepared to sacrifice the child's physical, mental and moral welfare. A child can be discharged if it becomes ill or otherwise unfit to work, but a hog?why if a hog dies it is a direct pecuniary loss to the owner therefore the best care possible is bestowed on it. It is well to look after the hogs, but one child is worth any number of them. Tt will be interesting to note in coming years the influence of the Chinese republic upon the other nations of the Orient. It is well known that the triumph of Japan developed a national consciousness in India which Great Britain has to reckon with, and that it did much to Drmg about the new China which now seems a reality. Back of all this, however, is the influence which the United States and Great Britain have been exerting through their diplomatic and commercial relations, and especially through the missionary and educational forces that have wrought so industriously in China for very many years. In this connection it is worth noting that most of the principal men at the head of the republican movement received their education in colleges in this country or in Christian institutions in our own land. The Times wishes to commend Mayor McElhaney for his action a few days ago with regard to issuing license to a carnival com-, pany which wished to visit Fort1 Mill. The advance man of the carnival company assured the, mayor that no gambling schemes were run in connection with the show and a price at which the show might exhibit here was set by the mayor. In the contract, however, it was stipulated that the mayor himself should be the judge as to whether gambling was being carried on and if so the exhibitions should cease immediately. The show man refused the license under those > - ?J i.'ni J conditions, ana nine wunucr, iui i it has since been learned that no i less than a dozen "skin" games 1 were operated in connection with j the show a few weeks ago in a town not many miles from Fort Mill. J ? r The multiplicity of conventions t of all kinds has become well 1 nigh or quite a burden. If the c r average man were to attend one half of these gatherings to which < he is invited in the course of a > year he would have but little time left for anything else and "J would be decidedly poorer in purse. In truth this matter of j3 conventions is overdope. Every j society, great or small, must \ have its convention or several of e them in the course of a year, r While in many cases such meet- c ings are of value, probably with t most of them it means an ex- ? penditure of time, money and j J; vnergy that could he nioreproht- ? ably utilized in other ways for a the benefit of the causes in i whose interest they are held. Speaker Champ Clark's candi- t dacy for the Democratic Presidential nomination continues to t gather strength. His list of c delegates instructed or favorable c has grown in the last week from 2 C6 to 78. Alaska and the Philip- c ft pines added 12 delegates to the J number already instructed. His friends are now so confident of j his nomination that they believe c he may be chosen on the first i ballot fc <Ms& The Standard Oil seems to be maffected by the Supreme Court lecision. Anyway, it goes into ts gardens just as it used to, to rather and cut the melons. The ast one was exceedingly sweet md juicy being worth some >29,000,000. The public also renains unaffected or, if it is affected at all, it is to the extent >f paying higher prices for kerosene and by-products. The present topsy-turvydom in \meriean politics has at least his to commend it, that it sets :he people thinking. Far better :hought and commotion than an ndifference that makes the /oters the prey of bosses and political machines. Out of all ;he present turmoil will come an ncreased power of the people, ;he purifying of political life, md a better economic condition. Weddings oftentimes afford an >pportunity for some people to show how idiotic they can be. )f such are those who play ;oarse, silly, and frequently bru:al practical jokes upon the bride md groom. What the world wants is iharacter. It cares but little :'or theological terms and doc;rines and usually forgets them )y Monday morning. But charicter it appreciates every day in ;he week. THE HOBO?WHY 1: Every country newspaper pubisher has more pr less experience vith the tramp printer who :omes from no one knows where ind leaves just as suddenly when ;he roving spirit again seizes, lim. Marguerite Miller, associate jditor of the Rochester (Ind.) [)aily Republican, philosophizes >n this mysterious class of wanlering mortals in a recent issue is follows: There is no greater mystery ;han that of life, and none: more ncomprehensible than man. Why >ne is born to wealth, another ;o poverty and another to mental greatness, no system of theology ? ? -i il. i.: lisciosea to me satisfaction ui he devotees thereof. Why do iome rise to great heights of nental, financial and perhaps ipiritual progress without ap>arent effort, another go down n defeat fighting their destiny jvery inch of the way, while mother drifts up and dcwn as :ircumstances force or fancy lictates. Can all men be good n spite of birth or environment? \re men bad because they must, >r drift because it is their lot to irift? From time to time one of ;his latter class visits this print >hop, asking for a job, and they >f all men make one ponder on, die mystery of life. Usually the lobo printer arrives dir;y, unkempt, ragged and pale but nev?r discouraged or sullen. He works quietly and every move :ounts. He can explain a.ny part >f the work if asked; ne is a iving dictionary and encyclopedia combined, and alter work hours, f he can be induced to talk, you ind he is versed not only in the jvents of the day, but is also a student of history and in close ;ouch with the world's great ooets, great authors and talks with equal grace of the drama, nusic or art. And there he sits n his filthy rags, a genius in nind. a master in intellect, a surveyor of knowledge far superior to those who employ him. tfameless he comes and nameless le goes, making no apology for lis appearance, asking no favors, mobstructive, yet affable and rind. No doubt but that he has i besetting sin, but wny nas ne: | The Christian would say he needs conversion, the mental scientist j vould say he must strengthen lis will while theosophy declares le is following the star of his iestiny, and can rise only through *e-birth. Who is right? Reigion has not solved the probem or lessened crime. The I greatest crimes, carefully planled, cold-blooded murders, are committed among the clergy and lighly educated, therefore education will not remove penal nstitntions or poverty so the >nly thing that remains is for the nan to study himself and learn he way of his own nature and earning, his future will take care of itself."?The Auxiliary. aovernor's Speech Not So Bad. Vaxhaw Enterprise. According to the Fort Mill rimes, Governor Blease's Gold Till and Fort Mill speeches were ill right. Tne Governor de-1 ivered the address at the clos-1 ng of the Gold Hill school and; t is said that his address was educational and that he made no eference to politics. But of kn f A kon/1 A?lf OAmO_ !

Stewart of Rock Hill wi not stand for re-election as Ser ator of York county. Mr. Stew art was not only an active cleai headed senator, but Winthro college had in him a staunc support er. Whenever the oppoi tunity presented itself to g( anything for Winthrop, Stewai could always be depended upo to lead a successful fitrht. It i men of his calibre which make a law-making body, and it is sue men that those who are not e> perienced in legislation look t for guidance in matters affectin the general welfare; always cor servative and independent, san and safe. He is a man wh studied conditions and the acted from the viewpoint of conscientious man. The senat of South Carolina will lose b the retirement of W. H. Stevt art. 1 York Baptist S. S. Convention.
