' 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

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.
