THURSDAY. MARCH 12. 1914.
First Year of Prrs. Wilson.
The first year of the Wilsor
government ended at noon last
Wednesday and the newspapers
throughout the country friendb
to the President have had much
to say in praise of what has beer
accomplished by his administration
since the 4th of March. 1913.
For the preceding IS years both
the legislative and executive departments
of the government
were controlled by tl.c Republi
can party. Much \\;;s expectec
of the new Democratic adminis
tration and much has been accomplished
by it. Beginning witl
tariff revision a few weeks aftei
the Democratic party came int(
power, the revenue laws were
almost entirely rewritten in th?
course of a few months in the
inforocl nf lliti niQucnc Movl
the currency laws were revised
in an incredibly short time, considering:
the immensity of the
undertaking:. No other national
administration has accomplished
so much in a twelvemonth as has
President.I Wilson's administration.
While it is true that the
beneficial results which are sure
to come from the new tariff and
currency laws are not. yet being
generally felt, the first is certain
to materially reduce the high
cost of living within the next
year and with the government
administering the banking laws
instead of Wall street the fiscal
affairs of the country doubtless
will be more responsive to public
need than has been the case in
the past. Bnt with all this, the
Wilson administration has had
its troubles. The Mexican situ
ation has been a source of continuous
and increasing annoyance
and more than ever it
begins to look as if this country
will be forced to teach both the
so-called federals and constitutionalists
a lesson which they
will not soon forget. So far the
President has displayed statesmahship
of a rare order in dealing
with Mexican affairs. He
has not been swept off his feet
by the clamor of a more or less
irresponsible minority which
would plunge the country into
war with Mexico forthwith. The
best and wisest administration
America has had since the War
Between the States is in control
of the national government, but
it may yet be forced to chastise
the poor, blind Mexican fools
who do not know what they are
about.
The Times desires to publicly
thank the several young ladies
who did such excellent work for
the paper in the subscription contest
which closed last Satm-Hav
We congratulate the winners of
the several valuable prizes, and
regret that the contest was not
of large enough scope to allow a
prize for each of those who
entered the contest. The Times
is highly pleased with the contest
from every viewpoint. During
ten weeks in which the
young ladies solicited new and
renewal subscriptions, several
hundred new names were added
to the paper's already large number
of subscribers and our subscription
list has been placed on
practically a paid-in-advance
basis. These results are helpful
to the publisher of The Times
in a financial way, and are of
great advantage to the paper's
advertisers in that there are
hundreds of more persons now
reading the ads each week than
did prior to the contest. We
again thank the young ladies for
the work they did for us and
trust tfHlT the winners will find
their presents a source of con
The Country Editor.
The duties of the country editor
are nutnerous and varied.
People who sometimes complain
that their little home weekly
does not contain as much news
as the more pretentions dailies
published in the cities overlook
the fact that dozens,' and in
many cases, scores of men contribute
to the production of the
I larger papers, while all the work
j on a weekly is sometimes done
by a single individual. Just how
'1 numerous and varied are the
1
t tasks of the latter is disclosed
by a paragraph in the latest isr

Journal. In explaining that he
had changed the size and form
8 of his paper so as to save time in
. ; make-up, printing and handling,
i the editor of The Journal says:
"For one person to gather the
news, set the type, make up the
i the forms, print the paper, distribute
the type, do the job
5 work, collect the hills, pay the
r debts, listen to kickers, sweep
, the office, kick the cat, carry in
, coal, build the fires, and do a
. thousand and one things in the
course of a week is no little mati
ter, hence we have changed the
. paper to a size that we can issue
t to better advantage."
In the face of this explanation
1 anyone objecting to the change
. j should be bored for the simples
. and then taken out and shot at
^ sunrise.

If conditions in South Carolina
were as bad as is pictured in alI
most every issue of the Lancaster
News, outsiders who
don't know better would think
this State little better than a
seething inferno.
Would it not be well for parents
who have children attending the
Fort Mill school to take interest
enough in the school and their
children to visit the school at
least one time during the term.
A curfew restriction may be
derided as old-fashioned and
Puritanical, but the fact remains
that there is vastly less night
prowling in towns that have a
curlew ordinance and enforce it.

trap pun for burglars and then
foigot about it. His funeral,
two days later, was one of the
largest in the history of the
