The lord mayor of Cork, Ireland.
has been put in jail for his Sinn Fein r
activities. Now he refuses to cat and
in reported near death's door as the
result of his folly. His ease Is attracting
universal Interest throughout
England and lreluud and the
prediction is made that if he slioulu
die all hope of a peaceful settlement
. of the differences between the two
countries would disappear.
Northern Kepubllcun newspapers
professed to 3oe III the vote Texas
three weeks ago gave former United
Stutes Scnulor Joseph W. liuilcy,
running in the Democratic primary
as a candidate lor governor, a reI
V' I
pudiatioii of the league of Nations
and the Wilson policies generally,
since Bailey hud been an active opponcnt
of the peace i>lans advo -aled
by the president. Dallcy's vote put
mIL *' yjS
him in the second primary with l'at
Neff. Now there isn't much left ol
bailey, Neff having won the nomination
by more than 100.000 nfajority.
Reports from the Statewide prl- (
ahiry held Tuesday for United States
sMiator Indicate that 10. I>. Smith has
b?un renominated and that a second
primary to select the Pemocratle ,
candidate will not he necessary.
Whatever else may l?o said about the
Service of Senator Smith, he must l>?
given credit for his activity in 'behah
of tlio cotton growers of the South.
Kor this reason his candidacy appealed
to the voters of the State. I
South Carolina needs in the senate '
men who are in sympathy with tin
cotton growers and understand the i
eotton situation. I
Whether woman suflranso is wise
or unwise 1 s no longer u debatable
question. Secretary Colby lias pro- |
slnimed tho adoption of the l!Hh
iiuiiulmen t to the Federal eonstitu
tion and the issue is settled. In the
November cicetions millions of American
women will eusi their oaiiols.
\
most of them, it is to lie hoped, ami
it believed, lor Cox tor president
Governor Cooper therefore does the
wise thing to instruet the registra
tlon boards of the State to issue eer- ^
t ideates to women just as they art
issued to men who can comply wi?i
tho provisions ot the State constitutions.
The indications are that relatively
few women are interested in ,
politics and that the number wuo
will avuli themselves of the opportu
uity to vote this year is small, hut
however that - may be they are entitled
to vote and .he privilege I
should not liuvc been t.nled them.
When a Southern man leaves the
'
Democratic party it usually is for
the party's good. We were pleased \
to read a day or two iiko a communication
In one of the dally papers 1
from J. M. DesChamps in which In
said he had turned Republican and
would hereafter atllliute with that
party. It is to bo hoped that bis nasal
organs are not so good astheavcrage
ftouth Carolinian's, otherwise ,
he might not be able to tarry permanently
with his new found friends. ,
DcsChamps was a candidate for ,
governor in tho Democratic primary
two years ago and throughout the
Stato got about enough votes to
wrap up a ten cent cake of laundry J
soap. Another rocent development in
the way of deflections from tho Dent- (
ocratlc party, according to tho Hock
HIU Record, is the announcement of
Cole L. Rlcase that he will not vote
for Governor Cox?which is to say
thnt because Tho State is supporting
Governor Cox ho is the wrong man 1
for the presidency. If Rlcase has i
made up his mind not to vote for
Cox, there is little eause for worry r
in the fact, but if the former govemor
ever agntn seeks to enter the
l>?moeratlc primary either as a can- (
dldato or voter, he should not he al- r
lowed to do so. There must he party |i
regularity, else the party will go to ?.pieces.
However, what Rlease now r
"ays or does politically Is a matter ji
?f no great consequence. He snng |
his aw an song at Filbert during the \
summer of 1917 when he announced y
his opposition to the country taking y

Great smokcclouds billow up from
