The Pausing of a Gentleman
During that bleak and bitter weather
in February, word came to the
Camden hospital that a "tramp" had
been picked up on tho highway in a
dying condition- and the gentle hands
thnt cared for him asked would it bo
possible to make ro4m for him in that
already crowded institution. "For
Humanity's saka" the? made a place
for him, a little old weather-beaten
man, who had valiantly started out
from Florida, hiking, hitch-hiking nnd
finally dropping beside the way?exhausted
ami ill. Faithfully nursed
and cared for, .he got well, and gave
his name as Jack Dunn. He was on
his way from Florida to New York,
because he had a cousin in New York,
who was his <^nly kin. But New
York is a lorvg \way off for a tired
old man in bleak weather, and cousins
are far off. kin, at best. When "Jack"
?^s they affectionately called him,
got better, he took to his new home
as a stray dog does to a warm fireside?and
wtijl in > warm bathrobe
someone had left just in time for
him to fall heir to it, ho seized a
broom nnd a mop and started in making
himself useful. Not a lazy bone
in him, the littlo man started in to
help those who had been kind to him.
It made it doubly hard for the hospital
authorities, because lie was well
enough to be dismissed?hut he was
half blind, sixty-three years old. and
it was so hitter cold, to send a friendless
old man on his way. They put
it off - maybe it would he warmer
soon, and they could get in touch
with his'"cousin", and perhaps the!
R. F. C. could get him a safe passage
to New York. In the meantime,
"Jack" was toting trays, sweeping
floors, rushing to this one and that
who called a nurse, trying to be of
help. "They'll never send me away
from here," he confided to one little
nurse, "I'm so useful." When ho
made mistakes and gave the wrong
trays, they laughed at him, and teased
him---and he would hustle around to
right things. When the weather
threatened to turn warm, he worked
harder than ever, as though he felt
that his staying there hung by a
slim thread. Then Fate took a hand.
Winter once more got on a rampage,
and during all that weather when
pipes were freezing and bursting
everywhere, there were still sick
people to he oared for at night, and
half frozen young nurses with plenty
of work to do. Then Jack proved
that he was not just a tramp who
knew which side his bread was buttered
on. hut a gentleman who wanted
to pay his way with all that he
had. When sick people would call
for the nurse. Jack would hop out
of a warm bed and wait on them.
When the anxious little nurses .scolded
him sternly, he just blinked at
them and did it again. This time,
t he weal her being so hitter and Jack
old and anxious, Jack did not get well,
all hough the doctors and nurses did
all that ceuld be done for him. Before
he went he said, "It was God's
mercy I was brought here?" The
cousin in New York was probably
busy with his own coal bills?or just
nn invention of the little man. People
have always Rated to admit that they
are absolutely "alone in the world."
Any way, Jack Dunn lies along with
a go.xl many worthier and unworthicr
in our own Quaker cemetery. He
did what a great many have not done,
returned thanks to the hospital that
ti.uk him in. and paid in what coin
he possessed for his care. Like the
woman who dried Christ's feet with
her lovely hair, "He hath done what
he couel." He came without a
friend, but he left quite a blank place
u n i.t .\en: away, and whatever
all the rest of his life might have !
been that would have made up for it. j
If Jaok Dunn, gentleman at large,;
hasn't gone to the place where he
is young again, can see again, has
money jingling in his good warm
pants pockets, and travels the high- I
ways in a safe and comfortable manner,
surrounded by kin much nearer
and dearer than phantom cousins in
faraway lands, then we have been
putting a'l our money on the wrong
h'>r-c?R I >.
Capital Observations
('Special Corrwpowkeee)
Washington, March 20.-?'The compulaory
cotton control bill has panscil
the Houao of Representatives by a
vote.of 261 to 114, and has gone to
tho Senate for consideration there.
It is likely to become law, with perhaps
amendments, as it is understood
to have tho hearty approval of the
administration. Enactment was urged
upon tho ground that it would be of
great benefit to pi\l0cers on account
of the reduction in tho crop, the proposal
being a'limitation to 10,000,000
bales during tho coming crop year.
A tax levy is provided of fifty per
cent of the market value on staple
produced in excess of quotas allocated
to producers. Deemed an emergency
measure it would have a life of two
years and could 'be extended tv a
third year by presidential proclamation.
Just how it will got through
the Senate remains to be seen. Opponents
denounced the measure vigorously,
as being "tyranicnal, socialistic,
vicious and brutal", and setting
a precedent for similar legislation
regulating all crops. Chairman Jones
of the Agriculture Committee, a Texas
Democrat, held that the people-of
tho South almost unanimously wanted
such a law in Wder to stablize
[ values, contending that since we have
planned industry we must have planned
agriculture, as they go hand in
hand.
?
The cotton measure is known as
the "Bankhead bifl", so designated
because of being sponsored by two
Bank head brothers, 'William B. in the
House and John 11. in the Senate. The
situation of two close relatives in
Congress, such as this, is unique,
made more so in view of the fact that
the two are sons of the late Senator
from Alabama, John H. Bankhead,
Sr. jfc
?
As was Expected the St. Lawrence
waterway treaty with Canada failed
of ratification in the Senate, receiving
a majority of votes but not the
necessary two-thirds. Senators Smith
and Byrnes each supported the measure.
Construction of the seaway would
involve a 27-foot channel from I>ake
Ontario to tidewater at Montreal,
with numerous locks. An abundance
of cheap power would be provided,
which however could have been used
to advantage principally in the United
States only in the part of New York
State adjoining Canada. Tho main
benefit would have been cheap transportation
of products to the sea from
tho upper Mississippi valley and from
tho entire upper north-eastern part
of the country.
*
The vote in the Senate just referred
to Ls the first departure of that
body from the support of the President
in a matter particularly urged
! by him. However, it was not a party
question, and a majority went along
j with the administration, but not the
i necessary two-thirds. It is believed
that the President will renew his
j recommendation of the treaty at a
' later date, but it is probable that
. Canada will proceed with the construction
of the canal, in which event
! American shippers will not enjoy the
benefits of rates which would have
been secured if the work had been
undertaken as an international project.
In a radio address shortly after
his inauguration Franklin I). Roosevelt
stated that Theodore Roosevelt,
his distinguished relative and prel
deeessor in the White House, once
said to him that he would be satisfied
I if he could get the approval of seventy
five per cent of his recommen;
dations. Franklin I). Roosevelt has
thus far been upheld in far more than
three-fourths of his proposals ? in
fact in nearly all.
, , ,
Or.i* of the greatest mistakes in
American history was the taking over
|, f the Philippine Islands after the
of the Spanish-American War,
thu* involving the United States in
j ' 'if affair* oh the other side of the
v. ..rid. F eedom was promi-ed* durthe
ad m i :i: trat ion <-f Woo,! o\v
W i-ov. bit '.va* not accorded then
: t ' y b?..'u;-o prarti a! arrange <
. r.' * : ' "t he made, and the
\\ -rid W.r ante on making further
delay neoessa-y. During the twehe
: years that followed Republican ad1
ministrations were loath to give up
i the islands for selfish reasons, as
great property holdings might be
lessened in value to supporters of the
"(Irand Old Party". During tho last
Congress an act was passed for the
relinquishment of American control, I
after ten years, and after compliance i
with certain condition?. Approval of
the Philippine tagUlfttufb .^Va? required,
but ww not given a* the conditions
wore not considered acceptable,
so the proposition lapsed for
the time being. The matter is now
before Oongresa again, with more
liberal terms proposed, and it appears
that favorable action will be accord
?r ?
South Carolina has not gotten
around to the point of holding biennial
sessions of the legislature, and
lately there has not seemed to be
much disposition in that direction. It
is one of only five statya where sessions
are held annually, the others
Massachusetts, Now Jersey, New
York and Rhode Island. In one state,
Alabama, the legislature is scheduled
to meot only quadronially. Of course
in those states where the sessions are
not provided for annually the governor
may issuo special calls, and
that is frequently done, whon occasion
requires.
* * ; . >
Following is a brief extract from 1
a biographical sketch recently pulished
in a Washington newspaper regarding
Danial Calhoun Roper, a
former 'South Carolinian, now Secretary
of Commerce in the President's
cabinet:
"Roper is, by common consent, the
slickest politician in the Cabinet and
probably in the entire country, Roosevelt
alone excepted. He hns spent i
his life in the political milieu, held I
political office for 80 years, knows |
the ins and outs, the old political ;
tricks, and has an ingenious mind al- \
Ways ready to meet new difficulties, j
He is not a patronage dispenser (although
some dozen of his relatives
are on the public payroll) but a real
political strategist, coming from the!
region which gave us Walter Mine
Page arwl Josephus Daniels in recent
times and which a century ago supplied
some of our leading statesmen.
As his middle name suggests, he
was bdrn in South Carolina ? in Marlboro
-County, on April Fool's Day,
ISC,7. He went to college at WinstonSalem.
N. and later got his LL.B.
from National University at Washington,
I). ('., in ll?01, while he was
working in the Census Bureau. His
career symbolizes the .i, old South's
recovery from the Civil War and reconstruction
to a 'position of assurance
and power in National politics".
<?> :
The streets of Charleston were
jammed, the last of the week, at the
azalea festival, including parades of
floats, and the presence of the South
Carolina legislature on vacation. The
navy yard won first prize for n float
which was the gunboat Charleston
made in flowers with a real whistle
and cracking radio antenna. The town
of Kingstree won second prize with
one of its beautiful girls aboard its
float.
