INVESTIGATE, BY ALL MEANS.
One of the most sensible thing:
"we have hearcj of lately is the prop
osition to investigate the investigat
ing committees of congress. A com
gressman has introduced a resolutior
for the appointment of an investigating
committee to investigate the investigating
committees. Fine idea
Naturally, it will be necessary to investigate
this committee after a fev
years, but if there is anything in the
world that congress has a plenty ol
it is material for investigating committees,
so. of course, it will not mind
another investigating committee tc
investigate the investigating committee
that was appointed to investigate
the investlgating^ommittees. By all
means, investigate the investigators.

Bamberg is confronted by a most
serious problem?that of housing fa**

cilities. it is simpiy aimu&i a matter
of impossibility to secure a house
Eg*
in Bamberg. Even rooms cannot be
secured. Four weeks ago The Herald
employed a printer from Brunswick,
Ga., and last week he left because
he could not sectire quarters
to bring his family to Bamberg. The
Herald is now obliged to advertise
,y.
that married men with children not
not apply for employment in this office.
We cannot blame any man for
not locating in any town where he
cannot bring his family.
Will not some men with money?
there are any number in Bamberg?
come to the rescue of the town and
build some houses? We feel sure
? v > v
no one will object to paying a reasonable
profit on the investment required
to build comfortable residences.

THE SHAXTl'XG AMENDMENT.
,
It is a n\atter of profound satisfaction
to the supporters of President
Wilson that the Shantung
amendment has been defeated in the
United States senate. We do not
pretend to know anything about the
/
Shantung question, and we are pretty
well satisfied that a great many of
the senators do not know much more.
But one thing is apparent even to a
novice in diplomacy?that is, if he
is honest about it, but, naturally, that
* >
is not to be expected of a certain coterie
of senators* in Washington:
Shantung is now occupied by Japan,
and the failure of the United States
senate to ratify the peace treaty or
the league of nations will not affect
the return of Shantung to China. It
is also a well known fact that the
United States senate has never before
evinced any interest in the rights
of China. And it will not be evincing
any interest now by refusing to
ratify the treaty, or by amending it.
On 'the contrary, the peace treaty

and the treaty will in the
future look after the interests of the
ancient Orient. By the terms of
the treaty of peace Shantung will be
*
returned to China, but if the treaty
fails Japan will be free to retain the
province. Of course, we do not take
the senators fighting the president to
he a set of ignoramuses. They know
all of these things. They are not
thinking of the interests of China in
wanting to annex the Shantung
amendment to the treaty of peace.
They have a much "loftier" motive.
They are opposing the president. But
the treaty of peace will he ratified,
and it will be ratified almost if not
exactly as framed. The justice of
the thing has at last dawned on a
majority of those in whose power
rests the matter of ratification.

^ How it Read.
At a recent wedding the bride was
Miss Jane Helper and the bridegroom
was Mr. Xewton Lord. The bridegroom,
however, was very angry when
he saw in the newspaper an account
of the wedding, headed in the usual
way: "Lord?Helper."

said to be from Edgefield, had spent
the afternoon in Trenton. Nothing

dark hair. He wore blue clothes, the

' but of different cloth. The body will

How the Dog Felt.
A boy was coming back from his
shooting trip, looking rather dejecjted.
"Not much luck, hey?" asked a
man. "Shoot anything at all?"
"Shot my dog." laconically answered
the boy.
"Shfct vniir do?0" rpneated the
man. "Was he mad?'' /
"Well," answered the hoy, "he
didn't seem particularly pleased." i
