' Thursday, March 9, 1916. Those who are acquainted with the peculiar style of language sometimes indulged in by fthe senior senator from South Carolina, can imag-i ine what he really sdid when he told a reporter that any senator or-con-1 gressman who interfered with the' ?J A s? UJ- JJnl/xmoHrt Hoalin P"!3 1 I president in ms uiyiv/iu?viv uvw?0m -with, foreign countries was a *'confounded fool." The Walterboro Press and Stand- J & ard, and, we -believe, some other j - newspapers, are carrying a legal ad- i A- vertisement nineteen columns in |Sj length. At the legal rate of adver-j | .tising, this oa^ advertisement should j ? he worth in the neighborhood of sev-1 > ; en hundred dollars. Our lucky contemporaries have our hearty congratulations, especially at this .time v?-when the prices of newspaper and X every other kind of paper, are going Iglvont of sight. > As a result of the passage of the law1 outlawing the Southeastern Tariff as-1 sociatlon, many fire insurance com1 Sanies are withdrawing from the States and it is said that there is an agreement among all the foreign companies to cease writing insurance in South Carolina. The trouble seems || to haye been brought by the tariff, association itself by its fconduct in' the State warehouse insurance mat-: tei*; anyway, the State is in a pretty) I bad fix if it has to submit to the dictation of a syndicate of foreign insurance companies, such as compose' ihe association at which the law is directed. There is absolutely no competition in regard to fire insur-j ance rates in this State; there is no redress when a rate is improperly: fixed, as many of them are; the com-! panies in the compact must charge' the rates fixed the tariff association. The withdrawal of foreign companies will give the home companies a chance. t Recall elections seem to be a sort of nuisance for Columbia. Petitions haye been circulating for some time seeking an election for the recall of Mayor Griffith. Now the friends of the mayor have had petitions circulated for an election for the recall of leaders in council opposed to Mayor Griffith. What the outcome will be can't be told. It seems like, however, if a mayor is elected for two years or four years, the best thing to do would be to let him aflnra nnt Ki? tftrm. If the DeODle p; are not satisfied with his administration, they need not reelect him. ?,/ The same thing should apply to all Other' officers. It's a sort of endless chain affair, these recall elections. If the mayor is recalled^ and a new IfV mayor elected, what will prevent the > recalled officials from circulating w more petitions for the recall of his g| successful opponent? As a majority || of voters are not required to sign the petitions to order an election, it is few quite possible that the recall could go on forever. On another page of this issue will r be found an article reprinted from the State newspaper in regard to the prices of printing papers. Very little *\ has been said, we believe, in any newspapers along this line. It may sound astonishing to our readers to tViot tVi Qro ie o it/Cirily 1UI liiiMciiiV/U) una i tuv/i v *k? m> grave possibility of a paper famine right here in America. The Herald management has received, within the last four weeks, two notices from our paper jobbers. The first notice inr formed us of an advance of ten per cent.; the second notice informed us that twenty per cent, had been added on all white papers, with the exception of newspaper, which has advanced about five per cent. On colli ' . .;. '* ored papers the advance has been much greater, averaging about 30 to 40 per cent. Aniline, one of the important chemicals used in the manufacture of paper, used to sell for 40 cents a pound; it now sells for $20 a pound. Of course everything has nni advanced at this rate, but several of .the necessary chemicals used in paper making have advanced in price several hundred per cent. Nor has the advance in prices been confined entirely to printing papers. The ordinary news ink used to print the newspaper has advanced 50 per cent. within the last few weeks. ? ^ At the recent session of the legislature, resolutions were offered'in the house providing for the clerk of the house to maintain an office throughout the year, and to conduct a legislative bureau of information. The resolutions came up for consideration late in the session, and went over mainly for lack of time. We think that the objection sought to be attained by the resolutions worthy of consideration, and we -hope to see the matter enacted next year. At present there is no provision for officials or anyone else interested to secure legislative information. If anyone desires a copy of an act or resolution offered or passed by the house or senate it is nobody's business to see that it is provided; but the clerk of the house or senate usually receives the requests. He is provided with no compensation for securing and sending out'-the information asked. In a letter from Mr. J. Wilson Gibbes, clerk of the house, a few days ago, he states that he was literally swamped with requests for information of one kind or another from parties all over the State. It may be stated that he is not even provided with stamps to answer all these - - - X 9 ? i communications, to say notnmg 01 the amount of work involved in securing the information he is asked to give. PRESIDENT WILSON WINS. \ House and Senate Votes Decisively to Stand by Chief Executive. Washington, March 3.?By a vote of 68 to 14 the senate today carried out President Wilson's wish and killed Senator Gore's resolution to warn Americans off armed belligerent ships. In a turbulent session, such as is seldom witnessed in the senate, tlie voting proceeded with senators shoutling objections, futilely demanding recognition to explain their positions and making hot retorts to each other, all of which were ruled out of order. At one time so many senators were shouting for the vice president's recognition that the sergeant-at-arms was called to restore quiet. Every Southern senator voted with the administration. After having manoeuvred for two< days to get the resolution in such par liamentary position that it was disposed of without debate, the senate then proceeded to a general discussion of the subject, which continued all afternoon to the dismay of administration supporters. There were free expressions of opinions that the senate's action because the vote actually was taken on a motion to table the (iore resolution with a correction by the author and a substitute by Senator McCumber, was* in .effect a "Scotch verdict," and had not actually accomplished the purpose of the - president. Such statements aroused the president's friends, who feared they would produce an effect exactly opposite to that intended?a notice to the world that the. senate stands behind the president in his demand on Germany for the rights of Americans traveling the seas. ^ In the House. In the house, however, the foreign affairs committee by a vote of 17 to 2 took a longer step toward meeting fully the president's wishes. It voted to report the McClemore warning resolution with the recommendation that it be tabled. In the report the com mittee assens mat me uunaiuuuuu I imposed the conduct of diplomatic ne-' gotiations on the president, and "with this practice the committee does not feel it proper for the house of representatives to interfere." At the white house satisfaction was expressed with the ^senate's action. Senator Gore>, who voted for the motion to table, declared he considered the administration victory a mixed one. # The debate which followed the senate vote was sensational. Senator Lewis, the Democratic whip, pleading with senators for moderation in their remarks, declared the Spanish war would have been avoided by action in congress similar to that taken today, and that tne war was brought on by vituperative debates. Senator Clarke, Democrat, of Arkansas, who voted with the administration forces, declared their action did not represent the real sentiment of the senate. Senator Fall, a Republican, said: A Republican's View. "By your action toclay you have sent to the kaiser, if you have done < ? * anything, notice that the senate of the United States will look upon his sinking of armed merchant ships and the death of an American citizen1 probably with some degree of regret, but that no action would be taken against him." Senator Borah, of Idaho, arraigned the senate for what he characterized as its evasive action. He said lie wo.uld "rather have battleships sunk than to have the honor of this senate compromised before the world." On the other hand, Senator Kern, the majority leader, upheld the action, asserting that it would proclaim | to all nations that the president in exercising his constitutional powers in the conduct of negotiations with central powers spoke "not for himself, not for his party, but for all j the people of his country, who are' prepared to back him with their lives | in an insistence on American rights."! Emphatically asserting that there could be no confusing of the senate action because of technical parliamentary entanglements, Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, ranking Republican member of the foreign relations committee, said the senate I had gone on record as'"opposing a warning to Americans and against interference with the executive." Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, issued a statement saying that the president had succeeded in preserving peace with honor and should be supported. To Avert War. Senator Broussard said he voted to tabfe because he wished to stand by the president in a crisis. He would support the president as long as he could avert war. The action which effectually disposed of the Gore resolution was a complex one. Senator Stone moved to brins: the resolution before the senate and Senator Gore then obtained permission to change his resolution. Retaining the original preamble, he substituted the resolution with the following: "Resolved, That the sinking by a submarine without notice or warn-1 of an armed merchant vessel of her public enemy, resulting in the death of a citizen of the United States, would constitute a just and sufficient cause of war between the United States and (he German empire." Senator AfcCumber, a Republican, immediately introduced a substitute to Senator Gore's original resolution, warning Americans off armed ships, pending negotiations with foreign powers, to revise the rules of international law to meet the new conditions of naval warfare. Vote Reached. Senator James, one of the administration leaders, then moved to table all proposals?the McCumber resolution, the original and substitute resolution offered by Senator Gore and all amendments. The motion was carried with 68 senators, 47 Demo-| crats and 21 Republicans, voting with the administration, and twelve Republicans and two Democrats voting Against it. The Democrats recorded in the negative were Senators Chamberlain and O'Gorman. y Washington, March 7.?President Wilson today completely anft decisively won his long and sensational fight to compel congress to acknowledge that it stands behind him in the submarine negotiations with Germany. To the rallying cries of "Stand by the President" and "Is it Lansing and Wilson, or Von Bernstorff and the Kaiser," a big Democratic majority, and hearly half of the Republicans in the house, three times rolled up overwhelming votes against the movement to warn Americans off the armed merchantmen of the European Belligerents. vThe celebrated McLemore resoiu-| tion, upon which the anti-administra-: tion forces centred their fight, was tabled, in other words, killed, just as j was the Gore resolution for a similar purpose in the senate last week. From the very outset of the fight today ^the president's supporters, j without regard to party, swept over the opposition. ^The First Test. On the first vote, which was a parliamentary proposition to prevent opening the McLemore resolution to amendment and unlimited debate, the administration forces carried the day, 256 to 160. On that 192 Demo-j crats, 63 Republicans and one Pro i gressive voted to support the administration. Twenty-one Democrats, 132 Republicans, five Progressives, one independent and Representative London, the lone Socialist of. the house,' voted against it. This was the crucial vote of the fight, the one point on which- administration leaders were uncertain. With victory in hand they moved on to the netft proposition, the adoption of a special rule for four nours discussion of the McLemore resolution. Again they carried the day?this time 251 to 138?and then pushed their victory to a conclusion by tab-i ling the McLemore resolution, 276 to 142. In seven hours of tense, turtnrieht ? !
