Egyptian Independence. A new day is dawning. Great Britain has recognized the independence of Egypt; not without strings, however; for Great Britain could pot lift her paw entirely from any nation 01 territory, upon which she placed it. This act of Great Britairi is of in ternational importance, from the faci that it marke the dawning of a nera era m the world's politics, and a de termination among^ the nations t( carry out the intent of the treaty o! Versailles, regarding self-determina Uon and the freedom and indepen dence of all nations; and this act rnnriitinrinl no It in nhould he rem? nized as tbe opening chapter of th< ' Book of Freedom frqm British rule and the dawning of a new era' of jus tice and humanity. The United States cannot be in ' eluded in this Book; for the reasoi that ths separation was not the fret ' act of the British nation, but a mattvi ; of necessity. Egypt has not its freedom in th< sense that it was given to the Uniter States, but it has an opening wedge which today amounts to freedom ii natne only; yet the declaration comet wholly unexpected, and Jn a measun as a result of the world war. Egypt was a bone of contentior among the great powers of Europe and was in no small degree one of th( contributory causes of t1fce war. Gorman?) wanted -free access to the Arabian Sea. Egypt was the natural ihoroughfare; but England's position there prohibited unrestricted German use of the portage. The natural ave nue was closed to all evespt England Thus Gkrraany, in her struggle foi commercial supremacy, was forced tc seek an overland routie thorugh Turkey to the Persian Qulf; a move thai irritated England, and would, luu) U been completed, have red heed btei prestige in the far East. In fact England's hold upon Egypt and the Sues Canal might have been rendered less secure, although she held the majority shares in the "big ditch," and for which she paid $20,000,000 in 1875. Now that the war is over, and Great Britain ha knothing more to fear from Germany, she takes this first apparent philanthropic step in her history, and has declared to the world her acknowledgement of Egyptian Independence, with the understanding that a British/ garrison will be maintained in the territory to guard the Canal. Egypt also recognises Great Britain's privileged position in the valley of the Nile, and grants to England certain commercial and ' military privileges within Egyptian territory.

When the submarine went to the bottom a buoy was loosened from the! ' unfortunate craft. The buoy was pro-i vided with an electric busier, and the; ' ascertain that the imprisoned men I, L were alive, by simply attaching a tele- J > phone to the wires of the buoy, which. ' was discovered by the crew of the! General Qoethels. The location of the buoy aroused a suspicion that something was wrong, and a boat's crew r was sent to investigate, with the re~ 1 salt that they found the buzzer active, ! and the telephone did the rest. The call of the General Qoethels, ' by means of its radio system, and the 1 picking up of the message by an ami?! teilV operator at Parimington, Conn., > la a wonderful achievement. When discovered the submarine had been submerged-thirty-five hours; her machinery damaged, and the air with' in the craft nearly exhausted of its, ' oxygen. j Rescue ships were soon at the scene | ' of the disaster, fifty-five miles south i of Capa Henlopen. By means of grap-i ' pling Irons a hold was obtained upon' 1 Che stern of the submarine and It was I I dargged to the fluface, when a hole " was bored through its plates and air torn raped through to the suffering crew. All were saved and none wene injured, atlhough they had been locked for nearly two days tn the hull of the .submarine. This is truly an age of wonderful achievements in applied science.

Strong appeal fi r every Democratic irgter in South Carolina to get behind the Dollar Democracy movement made by John Qary Evans, national committeeman from this state to Joe Sparks, director; of the compaign. In bis letter Mr. Evans points out that "Ohio la "Just as safe as South Carolina. ' The opinion of Mr. Evans is based on his observations while on a trip throuM) the far west. He declared that it is the duty of every Democrat to give as much as a dollar to help the party elect Cox and Roosevelt. A part of Mb letter follows. "We must get up a good fund this year to show our faith. # Our people have-plenty of money and there Is no reason why they should not respond. Cox 1b going to be elected and we cannot fall behind as our contributions 1b. the only way we can help. . "Everything looks bright and the people of the West are enthusiastic Ohio is as safe as South Carolina. Many Political Parties. Since the Republican party came into being 64 years ago, 14 attempts have been made to found othir new parties and none of tham has elected a president. The closest approach was by the Progressive'party In 1912, when Roosevelt received 4,119,50'? votes. The next considerable splasu was made by the Populists In 1892 when James 11. Weaver polled 1,041,028 votes. In 1872 a split In the Republican party led to the nomination of Horace Greeley by the "Liberal Republicans" and the Democratic party, but Grant was reelected by a majority of more than 700,000. ?Four years later, lp 1876 the Greenback party waB organized and ran Peter Cooper for president. It was j thp nrPftpPPflHAr' nf iVin Pnniillot mAt a. ment. It ran Weaver in 1880 and Ben Butler in 1884; slumbered In 1888 and came to life again in 1892 as the Peo-j pie's party with Weaver its nominee for president.' . I The prohibition party, came Into the field in 1876, casting.9,522 votes fori Green Clay Smith of Kentucky. It has had a presidential candidate in every contest since then. The Socialist party also haB been a frequent contender and at one time and another we have had Socialist labor nominees. Social Democratic candidates, American party candidates, union labor, united labor, gold Democrat and independent candi. dates. And the result has been the same in every instance?defeat and the election of a Republican or a Democratic president. ; ' The ChiwOcl^|1.6^jeay. fear Tires 3pular Bea i^WwmMH -n - -n 1 - r?ti t?
