I am reminded of a good story that
the late John J. Hemphill used to tell
ddvlug the hint years, of his .political
enroev. II was at a time when party
feeling was still running high. The
white |>C(?ple of the stale lutd divided;
I ut both still held on to the mime of
liotnocrat, ami the only thing they
J eouhl agree upon politically was that
about the lowest and meanest thing In
life was a Republican.
At that tluic the average voter In
this seotlOn was of the belief that
Democrats did not even know llie Re
publicans in Washington personally. It
was a common belief that a Democrat
would not sit down to eat with a Re
publican, or ride with him oil a street
car. Under the circumstances Mr.
Hemphill's story might bo saUl to have
educational value. It was like this:
"Two representatives, John and IJllf,
one a Republican and the other a Dem.
oerat, were great friends personally.
Ho intimate were they that they were
almost inseparable.
I "They had arranged to go to the
baseimll game one. afternoon at 4
o'clock, and when John, the Democrat,
got up to go, Kill, the RoptAidicnn. lin
gered behind. After a brief wait John
grew impatient and began motioning
Hill to come on.
"Win heltl back under John's In
sis | eiice until St la?t Jehu could stand
it . no longer.
'Come on. Hill wlint'v the matter
willi you? We'll be late.'
" 'Yes,' replied Hill: 'bill JtM Wilit

damn rascal has to ^iiy,' indicating ;i
member who u ,i > ^peakinvr from the
floor
"Si i II intent on the ba seb.a 1 1 , about
which lie was anxious, John replied:

Letter* From The People

The Oiroo^ has received the fol
hming letter from Mti. Hlehard . \Vil
Lift tun. state chairman of Hit' league
of Women Voters, ami we past It
uU>lig to our readers:
".M,v Dear Mr. Kdltor I? iKli<wln?
thai in* 'H of your profession Hie, a* t
rule, particularly interred ln? con
tributing lo the public welfare, I am
taking the liberty of writing b> ?*k If

Voting Is not a question o,f preference
hut a bounden duty.
"Though conscious of the fact that
you a*k no re%v4Vd for this effort
other than a realization that yon have
rendered a wrvl<^ to your state. I can

The Woman Vote This Summer.
The Yorkville Knqulrer thinks that
"It Is going to be the vote of the women
which will decide the nominations In
the coming democratic primary." This
may well l>e true, but present Indica
tions nro that In such event the de
cision will rest with a small minority
the women of the State. Only a
very small percentage of women' have
enrolled thus far for the election.
Various explanations are belli# of
fered r?wft>cetlnK the Indifference of
the women to their obligation to quali
fy us voters. A large proportion of
them unquestionably resent the fact
that they have been invested with the
franchise. Curiously enough, .some of
the women who were ardent suffra
gettes' beforc^he passage of the nine
teenth amendment, now display not tin
slightest interest in the exercise of the
ballot. This may lie n feminine cliarac

uim tic of the general p? ?l i t i<*n I apathy |
t-hi-i year. for the men- are not enroll |
ing a < thev should, either
i
The hnquirer thinks thai the women ;
of tin- towns may be expected to enroll I
fairly well, but that it is going to be a j
hard matter to get the women in the
rural districts to qualify. The report*
do not 'indicate anywhere n rush on
the part of tin* town women to enroll.
Certainly they have been markedly
backward in Charleston.
The persuading of any citizen, man
? ?r woman', to perform a ijiolltlcal duty
is very much like persuading a horse
(<? .drink. You can tell jieoplc where
the hooks ot' enrollment are and that
unless they enroll they will not Ik1 ]>or
inittisl to vole, but n<> scheme has been
devised for compulsory enrollment.
It will l?' a fair question next year
