THURSDAY,'APRIL 14, 1921.
There must be some mistake
about the claim that Wilsonism
is dead: Tuesday President Harding
delivered in person bis message
to Congress.
If the opinion rendered in
Greenville a day or two ago by
Circuit Judge Prince holding
the act of the General Assembly
prohibiting carnivals from showm
ing in certain South Carolina
coupties stands, we may expect
to see this lowest and most debased
form of public amusement
known in this section take advantage
of the opportunity to renew
operations in those counties,
one of which is York. But they
will not lbng be permitted to op
increased. Ami meanwhile the
public is paying $:il) for a $20
suit. All the tariff pap finds its
way into the pockets of the manufacturer.
Cooper Signs School Act.
Governor Cooper Tuesday signed
the new school attendance law
passed by the General Assembly at
the 1921 session. The bill as originclly
drawn was to abolish truant
officers, and while the act retains
that feature, the tinal bill as passed
and signed by the governor is
.different from the Wightman
abolition measure. The new law
leaves the the matter of truant
officers to the counties and school
districts and is somewhat of a local
option statute. ^
The same ages and restrictions
and requirements in reference to
.attending school that were in the
old law are embraced to a large
extent in the new measure. Provision
is made that where children
live too far from a school or a
school bus line they may be exempted
from attendance.
IWBBBP1' * -
orate in the sections of the State
which object to their presence,
for the General Assembly next
year is certain to find a way to
stifle theiu.
President Harding in his first
message to Congress declared
that the League of Nations is
dead. Likely enough. And there
also will be dead on the field of
battle in the years to come many
a mothr's son, slain by the same
agency that killed the league, the
Republican United States senate.
A protective tariff is a plausible
thing in theory, but it does
not pan out as its sponsors in the
Republican party try to fool the
people into believeing it will?in
the interest of tW masses. A
sample of the proposition thev
make is about like this: "We will
lay a tariff of $10 oji each $20
suit of men's clothing made in
England. When the clothing is.
imported into this country it will
have to sell for $30 or a little
more. For argument's sake we
admit that the American made
$30 suit may be worth no more
than the $20 English suit, but the
tariff we have placed on the English
suit will keep it out of this
country uiul enable our manufacturers
to pay the wool grower
more for the material that went
into the domestic suit and at the
same time enable him to keep up
the wages of his employees."
Pretty theory that pans out about
this way: The wool grower gets
no more for his product and the
wacres of tt?i? vvnrlrmnn 11 ? ..

TEARS WON PRESIDENCY.
John Tyler Said to Have Cried
Self Into White Bonse.
John Tyler, 10th president of
the United States and first vice
president to succeed to the office
through the death of a president,
has a unique distinction among
presidents, in that he cried himself
into the presidency. At the
Whig convention which nominated
William Henry Harrison, the
suporters of Henry Clay were
heartbroken. Tyler seemed to
suffer more acutely than the rest,
for he wept unrestrainedly. It
was not a pose; the tears streamed
down his cheeks and the convention,
with the usual desire to
placate a faction that hail lost,
wanted to nominate a man acceptable
to the Clay adherents. No
president had yet died in office,
and the possibility did not occur
to the convention leaders. So
looking about them for a suitable
man, they found Tyler, unable to
keep back his tears.
He wasn't really a Whig; he
was simply a Clay man, but the
convention did not stop to figure
'it all out. They nominated him.
and he served all but one month
of Harrison's term, being inaugurated
April 6. 1841. He was at
his home in Williamsburg. Va..
when word was brought to him of
Harrison's death. There was no
inaugural ceremonies and no' ball;
Tyler took the oath in private
and then, summoning Harrison's
cabinet, told them all he wanted
them to retain their offices. He
issued an address to the country
in lieu of nil inaugural speech,
that be would continue the policies
of the late president. He
failed to do so, however, and his
administration was marked by
quarrels with the Whig leaders.
All the clerks in Rock Hill are
to be given a half holiday on
April 10, in observance of Confederate
Memorial dav. The mer
chants agreed to give the clerks
this holiday at a recent meeting
and in all probability it will he a
permanent half holiday with the
store workers.
