It’s a pretty song. Many have butchered it It made money and when pros perity carte in one door, harmony flew out of the other. Danks and his wifii separated. His son and daughter have quarreled about royal ties oh the song. LET LION HOAR VIA RADIO. AND NOW FIRPO. THE LAST SILVER THREAD. THREE KINDS OF WEALTH. LET THEM DANCE. Here is a new raido idea. Brit ish broadcasters will install a mic rophone and very small transmitter in some wild wood, frequented by nightingales, and the wonderful bird “not borq for death” will be heard, all over England. Suggestion for*—American broad casters. Instead of a bed-time story, let youngsters hear the lion roaring, elephant trumpeting, hyena laughing and baboon yelling from the zoo. It could be arranged by adjusting the feeding hours. Every boy would like K, especially the lion’s roar. “IT fight no more,” says Firpo, it of the Pampas, “after this one fight with Reich.” The Argentine giant means to live his own life and* leave the atmos- phere af the prize ring, which does not please him. He even refuses the possibility of making half a million by one wtore fight in the United States, i In 1903, an old man was found dead, kneeling beside his bed in a Philadelphia lodging house. On an old copy of “Silver Threads” he had written this: “It’s hard to grow old alone.” That'was Danks. Last Fri day his wife was buried. She had died at eighty-two, in a Brooklyn rooming house, where she lived alone. arms and back are more valuable earners than deep convolutions in the brain, as you read of offers made to Mr. Jack Dempsey.^ He has *a mov ing picture offer of a million, and two offers running from half a million to a million for a few minutes of fighting. “Muscle is king,” you say, but then you remember that John D. Rockefeller, Jr., leaning osar for his 21 foot putt, might have one little thought that would earn him fifty millions, and he wouldn’t have to be photographed, or fight, to get R. ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION FOR SENATOR DIAL Construct your own moral, and be sure to include this “It’s better to put a good house and lot in your wife's name, or build up for her a respectable bank account, that you can’t touch, than to sing to her “Yes, my darling, you will be always young and fair to me.” Firpo Has met “a worse knockout than Dempsey’s.” A lady from Paris, who acts, wants Firpo to go to France. Who wasn’t betrayed the Capital? —A woman! Who lost Mark Antony the world? —A woman! Who was the cause of a long ten- years’ war, and laid at last old Troy in ashes?—A’ woman!* And now it’s Firpo’s turn. Just fifty years ago, young Hart Pease Danks and his wife lived hap pily. He even wrote a song to tell Round the world fliers, encounter ing heavy weather, were temporarily checked, and geese that never learn say “the flying machine will never be practical.” It isn’t so long since railroad time tables announced that tf&ins would run at such an hour, “weather per mitting.” Weather doesn’t stop them now. It won’t stop flying machines, either, in another twenty-five years. WHY CHANGE? There are three kinds of wealth only—the EARTH on which you stand, TIME, and man’s INTELLI GENCE. How wealth increases and time is actually increased or saved is shown by research of the National Association of Farm Equipment Manufactures. Thanks to machinery, saving labor, American farmers sav ed last year 1,382,539,204 days of actual work. Figured at $3 a day that would be a gain to the farmers of four bil lions of dollars. Farmers will won der where the money is. The fact, unfortunately, is that the saving of time, money and cost due to perfecting of machinery, goes largely to middlemen—not much of it to those that do the actual work. Editor Greenville News: I read the article of Mr. A. B. Williams concerning Senator. Dial with much interest. Like Mr. Wil liams, although not living in South Carolina, I am still intensely inter ested in her affairs, and in those things that spell for her progress and prosperity. I can view problems and men from a disinterested angle. ,1 do not know Mr. Byrnes very well. Of course, not so intimately as I have known* "Senator Dial, but I wfah to say I have a profound admiration for Mr. Byrnes and for his ability and achievements, but I think that he can very well afford to wait a little while. Senator Dial deserves a second term. I believe just now it would be a mis take not to return him to the United States Senate. He is a man of strong, rugged, intellect; plain, forcible and possessing to an unusual degree, good, hard common sense; concise and blunt in speech; thoroughly conscien tious in the discharge of his duties, of unquestioned patriotism, and a practical and successful business man. He is not a politician. This country is suffering now from a lack of men of the Dial type in its Congress and Legislatures. We need a business ad ministration conducted along business lines, and guided by conservative business principles. In considering a measure, Dial does not regard its effect upon his political future. He does not “Crook the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.” Jas. A. McCullough. Baltimore, Md. You would say that big muscles on WHAT DO P. S. JEANS DO? T!» Greenville News of Saturday ptinta a letter from A. B. Williams, veteran South Carolina Journalist now resident in Virginia, advocating the election of Senator N. B. Dial to succeed himself. After dwelling on the added influ ence and usefulness that come from long and continuous service and mak ing it plain that Dial’s fellow-Sena- tors have learned to have a whole some respect for him and to listen when he speaks, Mr. Williams closes by saying: “This is an appeal to the plain, sturdy common sense v of the peo ple of South Carolina, not to their passions or prejudices. It is respectfully presented to them because of my earnest interest in State and people and strong de sire to promote as I can the honor and welfare of both." The Greenville News commends the Williams letter to thoughtful consid eration and adds: } “The News was told recently by a representative of another state that Senator Dial showed more ’promis0~'»r "a" 'statesman than any man South Carolina had in the National Congress since the Civil War.” All of which is very much to the point. During the five years and over that Dial has been in the Senate, he has not attempted to advertise. He has not made any effort to acquire the ways of a professional politician or an expert campaigner or a habitual handshaker. He has, remained the same simple-hearted and single-mind ed man he always was, busying him self exclusively with the work his people sent him to Washington for— representing South Carolina in the Senate of the United States honestly, earnestly, intelligently, worthily. As nearly every one knowns who is at all familiar with such matters, sen atorial courtesy is the very apotheosis of unwritten law—for the most part as strong in practice as statute itself —whereas seniority (gained by length of service in the Senate alone) is the foundation stone of senatorial cour tesy. A new senator must conse quently begin not only at the begin ning but literally at the bottom; and, if he is made of the right stuff, his prestige and his resulting usefulness to his constituents increase day by day in proportion to how long he has been continuously a member of the Senate. At the present time this State has in its jnnior Senator and in his op ponent two excellent representatives well acquainted with their duties as such and possessing the advantage of years of service where they now are. If Dial be defeated, he must«t best be replaced by a senatorial beginner which beginner must in turn be him self succeeded by another beginner. So that, if Dial be not retained, the State will be thereby exchanging two seasoned veterans for two out and out beginners—it being necessary to bear cbnstanly in mind the fact that seniority in either house of Congress is not transferable to the other and a member of either who transfers his membership to the. other must there by forfeit all claim to priority preference which he would have re tained and progressively increased if he had remained where he was. If there had been the least sugges tion of any dissatisfaction with the manner in which Dial has uniformly conducted himself as a Senator or if there were any issue whatever, there might be some reason for con sidering the desirability of a change; but it is scarcely to be ex pected that the Democratic voters of South Carolina will be so short-sight ed as to repudiate and deprive them selves of the valuable services of a tried and thoroughly satisfactory pub lic servant merely because somebody else wants the place for himselfv— Laurens Advertiser.
