THEY FED. BLUE AfraM That Taft WH la Dafaatad. THEY ARE WORRIED. Ktmi PreaMrat Roosevelt Think* His Man'* Election I* DonUful—Re cord of Oongrea* Far From Satis* factory to the Majority Party, and Republicans Are Anxious. A Washington Letter to the Charleston Post says the Republicans in Congress are in a bad humor. Things legislative and political have not broken well for them during the last winter. They are disappointed and anxious. . and the leaders are existing conditions from one to an other. Many blame President Roose velt. The President, on the other hand, blames the Congress.. No doubt exists that the Republi- «cans are concerned over the Presi dential and Congressional elections ’ that are to takt place next autumn. They are not scared, but the*fart that the legislative program which was .recommended by the President bss not been carried out leads to the belief that something may happen during the approaching campaign. An apprehension Is felt thaPSecre- tary Taft, if nominated for the Presi dency, may be defeated. The reali sation is that Taft will be nominated; and it is not going too far to say that the Republicans, in and out of Congresir wBb Tiave carefully gone over the situation, are fearful of the Result. President Roosevelt regards Taft’s nomination as a foregone conclusion. He, too, entertains some misgivings about the result next Noveml>er, but he lays the blame for the condition that may ering about such a result at the door of Congress. He points to 4he fact that the leaders in the two branches of Congress have taken this year to settle some old scores with him. There Is no doubt of that fact. With an assurance that Roosevelt would succeed himself, Congress undoubtedly would have treated his recommendations with greater consideration during the last winter. * It was taken for grant ed, however, that he was to retire early next year, and the Congress has played horse with him. More bitterness of feeling than ever before has been crested between the Hoose and the Senate. Crlmlna- Uqns and recriminations have been made by the one branch and by the other.

This is the only effective way to get a pro fitable price next fail and the Union will push the plan to the utmost. The effect of this action on the present crop yet in the farmers hands'would be instaneous.

This action taken now Is at a time when it Is too late for the Souther,n fools ami traitors to increaae their coton ac reage, as they would have done, if this action had ben taken earlier in the season, it will not only defeat those who would be disposed to act the traitor, but it will attack the gamblers’ stronghold in a place least expected, and their defeat will be inevitable. ~ ' It is a fact sustained by his story and by trade conditions that a ten- million bale crop of cotton will bring more money in the aggregate than a 15,000,000 bale crop. We are a business organlxi tlon and as such we roust learn business ways from busi ness. men If we succeed. When the manufacturers find that they are not getting as big profit on their goods as they want, they meet In organized “shut down” until the price advances. Inasmuch as thP manufacturers have decided to "shut down” rather than pay the Minimum Price for cotton, it is putting into practice the best kind of business sense for farmers to do- clde to ‘‘shut down”_by^ plowing up a part of their cotton crop.

ENGLSH GIRLS TO BE USED TO SOLVE IT. The State Immigration Bureau En- tering ,Upou an Experiment of Great Interest to the State. A letter from Columbia to The News apd Courier says In the ex periment which Commissioner Wat son has started of substituting a high type of English-speaking house hold servant girl for the negro ser vant girl he is convinced both from employers and the gifls themselves that he has finally laid the founda tlon for a successful, practical solti tlon of the vexed negro servant pro blem in this State, and if the expert ment proves a success here it will be “a go’J throughout the South. After repeated failures during four years' bard work the commission Is now sa tisfied that success is at hand. The .first experiments along this line were with foreign-speaking peo ple, and Jn every case this proved a failure. These are the kind of fore ign servants that are being placed to a largjB extent in the North. Com missioner Watson then concluded that this section would have to have a higher type than 1 tS > "'Y!#ed in the North in order to supplant the negro, who Is daily growing more useless exacting and that the new servants must speak English. He was further -persuaded that the newcomers in o der to be satisfied tnemselvesl and render satisfactory service would have to be in touch with the other mem bers of their families, so as to give the home touch and alleviate the so cial alienation which had made other experiments with English-speaking girls failures. Accordingly peisis- tent, energetic work was carried on in the desirable farm section of En gland with literature, lectures and personally conducted tours with big vans. ’ _ • The thirty-three English people brought here less than a month ago and located in and around Columbia, Edgefield, Abbeville, Greenville apd elsewhere in the State, have all writ ten letters to the department express ing satisfaction, and every girl so located has written letters through the department to friends and rela tives abroad, urging them to come on to South Carolina and live.
