Our Washington correspondent on
this pugo makes some good apggostions
about tho OWA work*. It is
# just as well that people now employed
by the government works bogin
to look around for something else
to do, for this huge fund cannot be
expended indefinitely and those in authority
should be impressing, this fact
upon those now employed. The
spring will see the opening up of
farm operations and those who cannot
get other work had bettor get
back on tho farm Whero tne> can pt
Jeast make their food. U might be
^ well that this be instilled into the
worker**, by those higher up, for hundreds
and thousands of those employed
never read the newspapers and
?the only way to i'eiu'h them is by
word of mouth.
' ' TRIBUTE TO CAMNKN MAN
Tho Savannah Mqjming News of
January 16 carries a highly complimentary
notice to tho memory of
Moses Smith, one of Savannah's leadv
Ing merchants, who died in that city
suddenly. Mr. Smith was the son of
the late Benjamin Mendel Smith, of
Smithvillo, >S. C., and Bertha Fried
Smith, a native ofiGermany. He was
born in Camden, S. C., January 21,
\ 1878. The News says;
"High ideals, sterling integrity and
a love of the artistic in merchandise
jng, coupled with a firm faith in
Savannah and the South, characterized
the career of Moses Mendel
Smith, whose sudden death yotcrday
evening will cause sincere regret in
_ v tho community where tho greatei
part of his life was spent. As president
of the Globe Shoe Company,
\ and as a director of the Atlantic
Savings and Trust Company he occupied
a prominent place in the business
activities of the city, but his
influence extended beyond the realms
of commercial life and he was rated
as one of the most clear-thinking and
foremost citizens of the entire section.
"It WH- these attributes which won
for him the distinction of being elected
president of the Southeastern Retail
Shoe Dealers Association and
later to the directorate of the national
association. He was iegaid?d
as. an exceptionally high authority on
correct style in merchandising. 1 hose
intimately associated with him in
business and social life will ever
cherish the memory of "Mose" .Smith.
Although a native of Camden, S. t..,
he had resided in Savannah s.nce
boyhood and his steady use in tne
business world was the natural result
of perseverance, keen judgment and
straightforward method.-,. He was a
leading figure in the Retail Merchants
Association and one of tne
organizers of the Merchants' Council
of the Chamber of Commerce. Much
of his social diversion was derived
from membership in the Harmonic
Club and tln> Savannah Lodge of
Klks and as a lover of outdoor life,
with something of a record as an
athlete in his earlier days."

Capital Observations
(Bftpcial Corroaporxleivce)
Washington, Jun. 80.?The adminiatration's
measure for devaluing the
dollar has become a law, the senate
by a vote of sixty-six to twenty-three
voting ^favorably with some amendments
not very material upon the bill
as passed by the house of representatives.
The Treasury is given titled
to all the nation's monetary gold
stocks, and the coinage of gold is
declared at an end. The metal is to
be held in bullion form as backing for
paper eurrency. The President is authorized
-do revalue the dollar at fifty
to sixty per cent of its present statutory
gold equivalent, and it is considered
that the reduction will be held
at sixty cents worth of gold. A $2,CtH>^)00,()00
stabilization fund is created
and placed in charge of the
Secretary of the Treasury lor stabilizing
the dollar abroad. The main
result at present is that one cannot
get more than sixty per cent worth
of gold for a dollar, and in fact cannot
get any gold at all, as ths* gold
is to be held by the government, but
nt home and abroad the face value of
a dollar will be only sixty cents in
gold. Experts prophesy and high
hopes are entertained that commode
ties will steadily increase in price as
the result of the enactment of the
law.
,/*t ?
1
In the past few years there has
been steadily growing a tendency toward
the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, as advocated by the immorI
tal William J. Bryan, but in conserI
vntivo circles it has been regarded as
dangerous, and leading to unrestrict)
ed inflation. In the senate an amend^
! ment was offered to the money bill
, just passed providing for the purchase
I of 7T?(f,(>VO,()i)() ounces of silver by the
i government, and was defeated by the
I narrow margin of forty-live to fortyi
three. Had the amendment become a
part of the luw the practical result
, would have been the free coinage of
.-Tiver at the ratio of sixteen to one.
The president is understood to be opposed
to free coinage, and he has
, esi aped an embarrassing situation by
the defeat of the amendment. It is
(thought probable that the agitation
for free coinage may now subside,
with the prospect of extensive expansion
of the currency under provisions
of law now in force,
i * *
i
Within the next six months it is
: incumbent upon the Federal government
to Moat approximately ton billion
dollars worth of securities, ncar,
lv half of which is to take up accruing
liberty loans, renewing the same,
and the remainder is to meet the
enormous expenditures for relief purposes
undertaken within the past few
months. A start has been made within
the past week by offering a billion
m comparatively short-time securities,
to lun from nine to fourteen
months. Such loans are more readily
mo i-pted. and much lower rates of
iriTFTeH can be provided, the rate being
1 1-2 per cent for the shorter
period and 2 1-2 for the longer. The
result of the offerings was very gratifying
to the Treasury, the issues |
being oversubscribed several times.
This indicates clearly that the investing
public has not become afraid or
suspicious of the credit of the government,
regardless of the action taken
in the devaluation of the dollar.
*
It would be well for the recipients
of government aid to realize that such
help cannot continue indefinitely, and
in fact cannot last much longer. As
the Spring and work time approaches
those who can get jobs had better do
so without hesitation and without delay.
President Roosevelt has asked
Congress for $1>50,000.000 more to
continue the emergency relief program.
and it will doubtless bo available.
but the end of public help is
bound to come, and before long. It
iias been the intention of the admini-'rat
-n to cease civil works expenditures
by May first, but a great J
a- arisen for an extension. I

In file "good old days" before the'
Civil War the governorship of the
-fate of South Carolina was considered
-u.h a hi?? honor that it is a
matter of record that there was a
resignation of a member of the
I nited States Senate in order that
the retiring senator might become
govt rnor. But times have changed,
and not for the best, some may hold.
Hugh S. Thompson resigned as governor
to accept the position of assistant
secretary of the treasury in
the first administration of Grover
Cleveland, and it is only comparative- (
y recent that R<>l>ert A. Cooper gave ,
up the governorship to accept a fat
I'td.ra! position in Washington. <
Cooper was recen'ly appointed as ! .
Feu? nl judge . f }\j. -to H , and ha- ;
iepa *>?-d to assume the duties of ;he'(
His appointment i. of | ;
<>urso charged up to South Caroimn It
%
when as a matter of fact he has not
been ar. actual resident or actively
connected with the state for quite
a while. His case is in line with that
nf Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of
Commerce, and James M. Baker, appointed
as minister to Siam, neither
of whom has been identified with the
state for a long number of years. It
would seem that there is here a cliuue '
<>f non-residents, who have to a large <
extent controlled the patronage of ;he
- a r, grabbing all they can for th? mIve-.
R. S. W ha ley. formerly a;
in of Coiigies.- from the Charleston
district, is another instar. e.
!! : et 1 red from Congress, took up
his residence in Washington, and ;n
due time was appointed a member of
the Federal court of claims, a-s a
South Carolinian, of course. He secured
his position, however, under a
past administration, and how he got
it has never been made plain, as such
appointments under Republican administrations
were exceedingly rare.
*
The South Carolina legislature evidently
intends to accept as a mandate
for prohibition the vote of the
state against the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment to the Federal
constitution, as shown by the decisive
vote yi the house of representatives
>n the question of permitting dispensaries
in such counties as were favorible.
It may be hoped that the time
>f the legislature may now be devoted
o more urgent and more appropriate
tort?.

PADDED RELIEF liOLLS j
Undoubtedly great number# of
people are on ?f relief and
are being made beneficiaries of the
Federal government's generous hand
who could not qualify an among those
in extreme need and destitution.
Out of the very nature of the case
it would be virtually impossible to
have a maximujrt efficiency in this
administration which would weed out
all those who are slipping in and receiving
the benefits of this saving
service..
The fact that the relief rplls may
bo somewhat padded with such persons
should not be considered a legitimate
basis for indiscriminate criticism
of the manner of ndministiation.
It should, however, make those in
charge of this work all tho more
faithful and diligent to see to it that
the number of such a* these is kept
down as taw as possible.
This fund is not intended for those
who are able to go on their owp, momentum,
noither is it aimed to be so
attractive that workers will desert
private employment on any kind offlimsy
cxeuse and get themselves enrolled
for available public work because
of a more alluring situation.
Investigation ought to be made
paramount and relentlessly pressed
among all applicants for these funds.
It is the only way to keep the padding
from becoming outrageously high.

DILLINGER'S GANG
Some of the statements made to
police by Walter Detrich, one of the
10' convicts who escaped from the
state prison in September, were borue
out by the robbery of a bank East
Chicago, and the slaying, of a'police!
man who attempted to capture the
bandit's. Detrich said tho Dillinger
gang was "murder crazy, and that
every member of it was ready to
-hoot to kill if there was the slightest
interference by officers of the law;
thiil the gang was provided with
bullet-proof vests and that this equip- (
mont, in addition to its arms and
ammunition, gave it a sense of sejcurity.
Dillinger, paroled by the.
governor last summer, was identified
as the leader of the band that operi
a tod in Ila^t Chicago, and John Ham1
ilton, one of tho 10 escaped criminals i
j as the man who killed tho policeman.
Before he fell the officer pumped lead '
into the armored vests,of Hamilton
and Dillinger without effect. Four
bullets are known to have bounced off j
Dillinger. The 10 men escaped from ,
Michigan City Prison after a experienced
warden had been replaced by i
one without institutional experience, |
and after many of the old guards had,
I been dischaiged to make way for ,
j others. Had there been adequate discipline
at the prison the escape p.ob-,
[ably could have been prevented. Det-j
] rich said that an elephant could bo ,
I smuggled into the prison if enclosed j
| in a box. He may have been right.
Hie certainly was right about his de-,
' script tan f of the Dillinger gang and j
' his warning of its lust for blood.

Son is Arrested for
Slaying His Mother

Rocky Mount, N. C., Jan. 29?Clyde
Smith, 26, young Nash county farmer,
was being held in Nashville jail
today charged with the fatal wounding
of his mother, Mrs. W. T. 'Smith,
17, early today after an argument
over the use of the family automobile.
*
According to Deputy Sheriff J. II.
Griffin, who arrested the boy, Smith
seized a shotgun after ho had been
denied the right to use his father's
automobile, and fired through the
glass front door of [his father's house,
the load taking eflWt in the face of
his mother. (She died within a few
minutes. '
Griffin said the boy was under the
influence of liquor at the time. Young

father eajdiei1 in th? day and showed
signs of having been badly\ beaten,
the deputy, added. Griffin \?aid that
he was given to understand that the
load of shot was intended for the
boy's father instead of his mother..
Young Smith is married and the
father of two children.
ONE KIND OF A SUBSCRIBER
A '
One day last week while one of The
Enquirer's subscribers was paying for
another year, he related that a neighbor,
who was over a year jn arrears
on his subscription, had said ho did
not propose to pay because he had
not ordered the paper sent him after
thp subscription had expired.
\Vell, within the past year I've seen
the delinquent on the streets a number
of times. If he did not intend
paying, the gentlemanly thing to have
done, was to notify.. me to take his
name off the mailing list.
However, I am happy to say the
man in question "is most unusual in
his attitude. The past three or four
years have been tough ones with most
of us. I've had no desire to cut anyone
of our subscribers from the mailing
list. By not doing so they are
paying up. now when conditions are
improving. Any man who will say he
cannot pay for his paper because of
financial reverses, we shall "remember
it no more forever."

bragging that he will not pay an honest
