Peculiar Criticism.
One or two papers in the
Fifth district, in commenting on
Congressman Finley's vote
against the repeal of the Panama
Canal Act, have made the rather
peculiar criticism that in so
doing "he is treading close to
the brink of Republicanism."
The Gaflfney Ledger goes on to
say that "The free tolls measure
is a Republican measure, passed
by a Republican Congress and
signed by a Republican President.
* The Democrats are trviner
to repeal this Republican
measure." Evidently the editor
of The Ledger is not sure of his
facts as regards the history of
the measure and certainly he
has not read the platform of his
party. The Panama Canal Act,
providing free tolls for American
coastwise vessels on their passage
through the canal, passed
the House ta Democratic House)
on August 24, 1912. The tolls
provision was incor|>oratcd in an
amendment oH'ered from the
floor by Mr. Doremus, a Democrat
from Michigan, and now
chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee
and one of the chief supporters
of the administration.
The bill having in it this free
tolls provision passed the House
by a combination of Democrats
and Republicans, led by the
majority leader. Mr. Underwood.
In the campaign of 1912 it had
the indorsement of the Demow?
tmniinnne inoliwlnur I iin
V 1 11 i IV IIUIIIIII\ VP, III\IU\|III^ I ??vPresident,
who in speaking: to ;?
New Jersey audienev on August
15, 1912, said:
"One ol' th?' bills pending passed, 1
believe, yesterday by the Senate as it
had passed the House- provides, for
free tolls for American ships through
that canal and prohibits any ship from
passing through which is owned by an
American railroad company. You see
the object of that, don't you? We
don't want the railroads to compete
with themselves, because we understand
thiit kind of competition. We
want water carriage to compete w ith
land carriage, so as to he perfectly
sure that you are going to get better
rates around the canal than you would
across the continent."
So much for President \Y Ison's
pre-election view of the
measure, and certainly it contains
no disapproval of it. He
tfoes on to say:
"Our platform is not molasses to
catch tlies. It means business. It
means what it says. It is the utterance
of honest men, who intend to do
I.ikna.. .,..,1 .. 1..
??n>i i it.-? r? iin'u^ ui\?r?i mirn ?tuii >miw ?irr
not waiting1 to see whether the\ t ail
catch votes with these promises before
they determine whether they are going
to act upon them or not."
T?e plank in the Democratic
platform to which the President
referred, and which The Ledger
evidently overlooked, is as follows:
We favor the exemption from lolls
of American ships engaged in coastwise
trade pnssing through the
Panama Canal. We also favor legislation
forbidding the use of the Panama
Canal by ships owned or controlled hy
railroad carriers engaged in transportation
competitive with the canal."
There can be no doubt as to
what the platform meant, and
we can find no reason for criticising
Mr. Finley for supporting
it. Indeed any othtr criticism
the editor of The Ledger could
have made would have been
more timely than that of Republicanism.
Republicanism for
supporting the Democratic platform,
under the leadership of
the Democratic Speaker of the
House, Mr. Clark, the Democratic
floor leader, Mr. Underwood.
and the Chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee. Mr. Doremus!
The charge answers itself. Its
absurdity is apparent on its face.

If the State Democratic con-1
vention,' in session in Columbia,
does not take some action with
regard to protecting the primary,
there will be thousands of disappointed
Democrats in South
Carolina. The newspapers of
the State have during the last
j few weeks had. much to say
about primary reform and many
| suggestions have been offered as
, to what should be done. Some of
the suggestions seem good, some
, bad and some indifferent, while
' not a few are entirely unworthy
,1 of consideration. The sugges>,
tion which probably meets with
. A. 1. _ ^ ...?#] 1 O
tilt; must wyje-spicau ia
J that of destroying: the old club
rolls and requiring each Democratic
voter to appear in person
1 to have his name enrolled on a
club list and that the lists be
closed one month before the
primary election. Certain members
of the State convention are
said to be he in favor of making
the requirements in the primary
the same as those in the general
, j election, but it is hardly likely
that a rule so extreme as this
i will be adopted by the coni
vention. Another matter that
is slated to come before the convention
is the question of abolishi
ng the county-to-county canvass.
It is contended by some that
such a plan is out of date and
that it should be abolished, but
it is not believed that a sufficient
number of delegates to the convention
favor its abolishment to
(carry the issue through.
The Times has been requested
to call to the attention of the
i city authorities the manner in
I which certain drunken men annoy
tlx residents of East Booth
I street with their loud talk, profanity
and sinking almost every
Saturday evening and night. It
is a r. ^rular Saturday evening
practice, we are told, for these
men t<> either ride or walk the
street and engage in loud talk,
profanity and indecent singing,
regardless of the fact that the
lady residents of the street are at
times in plain view on the vera
ml as The Times retrains
from "rubbing it in" to the
'' authorities, as was requested,
for the reason that the authorities
ptobably did not know that
such vendition existed, but since
attention has been directed to
1 the matter, it is to be hoped that
the officials will take a hand and
put a speedy stop to it.

GIVE LIVES TO GOOD CAUSE.
A school is located in a little
building erected bv the missionaries
in an Eskimo settlement on one of
the Aleutian islands. The nearest
land is Siberia, over forty miles
away. It is a bleak place. During I
the summer the teinpemture is seldom
above fifty degrees, and more
often around thirty. A few wild
flowers appear in August, but most
of the year the island is an iey waste.
Forbidding as the place is, the two
teachers say that the eagerness for (
light on the part of the pupils makes
up for the loneliness and privation.
Sometimes it is exceedingly difficult
to keep warm in the little schoolschoolhouse
in midwinter and there
are no luxuries.

A four-year-old boy, who accompanied
his father, looked very carefully
at the rotund figure of his

"Aunt Myrtle, you don't have to

Then, when the man held ud his
