Do you know that but for the vast sums J of money poured into this state the j past ten months by the several j Alphabet Administrations that have in a way kept this state going, we would now be hanging on the. ropes gasping for breath. Millions of tuxes have been paid with moneys receive*! as n gift from the federal government. Don't tempt fate by increasing expenses now to be paid with increased taxes. The flow of money from the federal treasury is already slackening. ? Yorkvillv inquirer.

(Special Correspondence) Washington, March 6.?'This c^y \a the headquarters of the national society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. an organization approaching 200,ooo in membership. It is rightfully regarded as a distinction to be a member, as the restrictions ure such as to limit applications to the descendants of the soldiers of the Revolution. A beautiful and very creditable building, known as the Memorial Continental Hall, houses the executive offices, and re|cenlrly it became necessary to erect la spacious convention hall to, accornmo<Uite the delegates to the meetings. The principal political issue since founding of the republic hps been the tariff, high rates being favored by manufacturing sections and low levies or none at all by the agricultural interests, A hundred years ago South Carolina took steps looking toward the "nullification'" of an act of Congress raising tariff rates, and the situation then approached civil war, which came later. In general the Democratic party has advocated a low tariff, "for revenue only" as set forth in national platforms, and the Republicans have stood for high rates, under the guise of "protection" for the laboring classes. There is now a law passed under the Republican administration authorizing the president to raise or lower a rate to the extent of fifty per cent upon the recommendation of the Tariff (.commission after investigation. The process | ha - been slow and unsatisfactory, Mtid wry little has been done except (to c hange a few rates, raising in j n? a: ;y e very case, as might be ex- ! ... A bill has now been intra ,1 j . gre.- - ;,t the request of ievident Rno-eveit which would give i i, in t 'onjbele authority to make re. :il trade agreements between Cr.'tid State- and 'other nations, and l"Wi r tariff duties by fifty: per cent- to bring about such agree mints, or to raise them to a like extent if need be. The issue will likely [ prove to be the first clear-cut con tent ion between the two parties dur-j ing the present administration. The i American tariff wall has been raised j m, high that most other nations have j retaliated. Being unable to sell their i goods to advantage in the United j States they have themselves estab- . lished high tariffs which have kept out our manufacturers and American foreign trade has suffered immensely. This condition has been one of j the main causes of the terrible de- | pression which has afflicted this and other nations. As indicated by the President his purpose in advocating a new law is the emergent need of rebuilding America's international commerce, and so that it may bo done speedily. * * * W ithin the pa>l few days Franklin I). Roosevelt completed one year as, pre-ident of the United States, and j niu-ui -bus been said and written. | mostly in praise of his record. One I general conclusion is that today he is m< re popular than when he entered the White House, that he enjoys a ! prestige that is unique and that he j lias won confidence and respect from i all the people to a greater extent than any former executive while in ' office. Under his guidance a vast amount of legislation has been smoothly enacted and the inspiration of hi.-. leadership has restored faith and placed the country in the straight road toward renewed prosperity. # ? An agreement has been reached whereby a vote will be taken on the 14th instant on the St. Uawrenee waterway treaty, a project dear to the heart of the President. It is not evident that the necessary two-thirds majority will be forthcoming to ratify the treaty, but there will he a showdown, and the way will be paved f..r another document, with amendments if necessary. It is regarded m a foregone conclusion that in time he proj-wt-ed canal will bo built by agreement between thi- country and i a'.:iiia. \;>r - * -<i ha-' beer, ter. at:vc?y < t a- t:a caU' f.,r the trial of R.shop lane < 'a* r.?>n and .-c rotary.

The cry of persecution has been voiced, and the bishop haa charged the case against him was pressed in an unwarranted manner by the "Romanist" United .States Attorney of the District of Columbia. However, the Catholic prosecuting attorney is now out of office, but there does not seem to be any disposition to drop the case on the part'Of his successor. In efforts to avoid prosecution the case was appealed, : unsuccessfully, all the way to the Su- t preme Court of the United States. In the past one might hoar occasionally, even in the South, that very little difference was noticeable between Democratic and Republican ad-j 1 THINKS IT AN OUTRAGE The following U .from the Yorkville Enquirer: , "It mak*9 **** to think about taking that, old nigger Green Coleman from Charlotte down to Columbia and receiving him In the legislature," said Robert Jefferson Morrow of York No. 0, one of the original Ku Kluxers and a red shirt wearer who oa.*t his first vote for Hampton in 1876. Mr. Morrow is a native of Chester county, and has been a subscriber to The Enquirer for 52 years. "Why Green Coleman never was a member of the Legislature from Chester county or anywhere .else. I knew him in Reconstruction days and knew him well. Ho was jttst a big mouthed, loud-talking negro who gever amounted to anything in politics. The representatives in the leg' i statu re from Chester were John Lib key., John Lee, Charles Sims, and Senator Wimbush, a yellow nigger. Green Coleman may have been in ( olumbia at that time, but he didn't hold any office. He was run out of the state when Hampton took charge and he ought never to have been brought back for anything. Tojust couldn't rest good after going to bed thinking about it." THIS THING OF PARDONS The free use of the pardon and parole power seems to have become a habit in more than ohe state? South Carolina being the one state referred to. Down in Atlanta an epidemic of automobile thieves seems to have broken out and a recent order was issued by the police chief to automobile owners to arm themselves and when the robbers stepped on their J running boards to demand cash 6r ' their cars, to shoot to kill. Monday Chief Sturdivant, of At- 1 lama, complained that "As fast as we put them (the running board robber-.) on the, chaingang the governor or the prison commission turns them out. However, we can catch them | again and put them back so that the , prison commission and the governor can turn them out again." In South Carolina the governor j turns criminals out of the peniten- j tiary, and some of them return to j their crimes as the hog -does to the1 mire. The latest example was that j of a released wife murderer who attacked a woman with a knife, or other j cutting weapon, a few days ago, inflicting almost a score of wounds from j which she died. It would be an easy matter to cite other cases of criminals who have been released from the state prison and almost immediately began to commit crimes similar to those for which they were Convicted, By the way, what has the Legislature done with the bill to restrict the pardoning power and make it possible to keep a man in the penitentiary when the jury and the court send him there??'.Spartanburg Herald. YOUR NEWSPAPER The following was taken from a J circular sent to retail merchants by a large wholesale house: "The value j of your local newspaper to the sue- ! cess of your business cannot be overestimated. It's worth all the .-up- j port and cooperation you can give it. For the newspaper is a mirror reflecting the life of the community in which you and your store have^an important part.. Your advertisement is the reflection of your store in the mirror. Everybody .sees it there. If it is not there, the mirror is dark where your store should be. You are there, but you cannot be seen. Your store is open for business as usual, but 'out of sight, out of mind.' To keep in step with the progress of the community, to gat your share of business, you must advertise regularly. Take your newspaper publisher into your confidence; he can give you valuable assistance. Establish an advertising budget. Plan a regular schedule for your advertisement. It's a policy that is followed by the most successful stores; it's an idea thatj will be profitable for you."?South St. Paul (Minn.) Reporter. I -r.n Ba-.'.m Shcri .11.

On the first instant the sale of alcoholic beverages became legal in the District of Columbia for the first time since November 1, 1917, when Washington was made dry by Congressional enactment. The saloon is absolutely banned here under* the new conditions. Under certain restrict tions, such as proximity to schools and churches, licenses are issued to reataurants, hoteLs and business i places, generally. There are diffet*- 1 ent kinds of licenses, permitting sales of hard liquor, or of beer or wine, ai cording to the particular appli- j cant's wishes, and different fees p're- ! vail, according to the,-provision of ! each license. A Tribute To Walker John K. Aull, former popular court stenographer for this circuit, in Tho State of recent date, paid the following beautiful tribute to W. T. Walker, who was born in Camden, but of late years had became a prominent citizen of Cqlumbia: "I know that for a printer who waa as well beloved as 'Thomey' Walker you will, on behalf of other printers, who knew him and loved him, givey1 this brief space to an humble tribute to his memory. Those of us of the bftick and rule' are not much here any morfc; those of us who picked typo from the case in the days when ten or twelve thousand 'ems' was a record, even though we caught on to the later operation of the linotype and the other advances in the art of printing, with which 'Thomey' Walker kept pace as few of the rest of us did, are rather thinning out. Those o# us who 'kicked the job press' are rather among those who walk somewhat in a forgotten valley?but, withal, a glorious valley, where there are memories and beyond which there are |j mountain peaks with paths that lead; we know not exactly where but which are inviting as we become sometvhat and rather wistfully tired. "There is little that we can add to his record as he wrote it. There is nothing more except in the words we may put it, as contrasted with his overweening modesty. Ho wrote a piece of. copy to which any ono of the old regime?and I maintain there was never a more gallant band?might well sign 'thirty' and turn it in withthe consciousness that one had done the best one could. Editors and reporters in the afterglow will look it over and say it was good; printers 'at the case, such as were he and I and the rest o?f us who are passing, will prize it. "After all, 'Thomey' Walker was a master printer; that, to my mind, and to the mind of all good printers, is all j we could say. That includes it all. i We never looked upon a man as a ' master printer who was not also a | gallant gentleman." More than $24,000,000 in gold coin, gold certificates and bullion was re- j turned under the Treasury anti- I hoarding order. Wants?For Sale FOR SALE ?
