v WHAT HE SAYS
Senator Tillman Gives Interesting Inter
view on Many Topics.
OLD PARTIES PASSING
Believes the Democrats Have Golden
Opportunity?Glass Tells Him
"That's Old Hen Tillman, All
flight, hut"?Opinion of Governor
Hlease "Hasn't Changed Much."
Senator Tillman was In Columbia
a few days ago, and discussed tne
tariff situation and national politics
in general, with especial emphasis
upon the possibility of Democratic
success at the next election. Senator
Tillman believes that the Democrats
have a golden opportunity.
In an interview with the Columbia
correspondent of the News and Courier
the Senator talked Pke ti? used
to talk. "Physically. I am a bit
weak, he said. "The machinery
doesn't run just right. When f looa
in the glass, I say: "That's old Ben
Tillman, all right,' but when I try to
go through some of my old stunts, I
find I'm not worth a damn."
"Will you stand for re-election?"
the Senator was asked.
"I have already said," he replied,
"that if my health is fairly good I
shall run again. I do not wish the
office unless I can Oil it reasonahlv
well." The Senator has not. derided
whether he will attend the special
session of Congress; he probably will
not. He is paired with a New En inlander,
whose positions on the tariff
would likely be the opposite to his
own.
"And what do you think of Governor
Blease?" a reporter ventured.
"I have given my opinion of
Blease," said Mr. Tillman. "I gave
it right after the last election. 1*
haBn't changed much. He has disappointed
me somewhat, but he has
had a hard road to travel. You newspaper
folks have nagged him conl'isually."
Senator Tillman hopes the Democrats
will tackle the tariff as a whole,
not in spots. He thinks the wholo
task perilous in the extreme. "Every
^ party that hafc tried to revise the tariff
has shortly afterward gotten it
in the neck," he said.
"Oh, Bailey just got into a pet,"
the Senator said, when asked about
the Texan s resignation. lie swung
his little hatchet, the head Tow lip
and he got his head bunged up I
think he'll be good hereafter "
In general upon the subject of expenditures
Senator Tillman believes
that they should be cut down. lie
says there are too many useless offices
and clerkships in Washington.
He was talking the other day to some
Senators and he asked them whv
shouldn't some of these things ue cut
out by the Democrats, and they replied:
"Oh, let's wait a little while,
let's don't do it yet."
The Senator's comment was: "It's
always that way."
In the matter of expenses he referred
to the palace of new offices,
for which building the Senatk has
been criticised.
Senator Tillman believes that Harmon
is the man for the Democratic
nomination, that is that Harmon
seems to stand the best chance of being
nominated. "Harmon has the
advantage just now," said Tillman,
"he has made a good Governor."
Senator Tillman believes that
Champ Clark's time will come, it depending
ort how he conducts himself
as Speaker of the House as to whether
or not he will in time be the Democratic
standard-bearer.
In addition to stating that he was
a little disappointed a in Governor
Blease, although the Governor has
had a hard road to travel, Sen. Tillman
referred to his pardon record by
asking a question: "Don't you
think," he said, "that Governor
Blease's large pardon list might be
explained by the possibility that there
are a large number of meritorious
petitions for pardon left over from :
the Ansel Administration, because of
the well known fact that Governor
Ansel did not wish generally to interfere
with the Courts' verdicts?"
Senator Tillman continued that
also "Governor Blease may be allowing
his goodness of heart to influence
him to some extent in granting pardons."
Senator Tillman believes that the
old parties are passing and that it
will not be long before they disintegrate.
"If the Democrats are wise in
dealing with the tariff this party will
- ? ?- _ x 1 ? ix -..in mi- -
not DreaK up; ouierwise it win. iue
Democrats have a golden opportunity."
He does nQt wish the Democrats to
show too much a spirit of grabbing
at the offices just for the sake of the
holding of same, but ho wants to see
some good work done. He believes
the Republicans have by long tenure
of office grown corrupt.
On the Democratic Presidential
possibility, Senator Tillman, in addition
to saying that Harmon has the
best chance now, added that the Democrats
have such a high-toned and
able-bodied field to select from, nt
thinks a great deal of Wilson's ability.
It's a case of "embarrassment
des riches," said the Senator, making
use of his French.
Senator Tillman said today that he
had recently heard attributed to
Hooker T. Washington the sfateme.it
that Tillman and Vardaman were
passing and that the negro was gain
Ulft <1 HLIUIifSUl 1UUIUU1U lit tilts DWUIU.
The Senator, in a letter, replied that
he had heard that Hooker was making
"goo-goo eyes" at a German lady
and got into trouble. Also, that as
long as the water flowed the Caucasians
would rule over the Southland.
The mention of the name "Roosevelt"
caused Senator Tillman to smile
and recall some of their battles. In
connection with the Washington incident,
Senator Tillman said that
Roosevelt might run too, if placed in
such a position.
Senator Tillman carried here to- 1
day for the first time a gold lieadeo
cane, presented to him by the I)eniocratis
League in Delaware, in 1907.
It is a beautiful cane and the Senator
is proud of it. "Maybe if I had carried
it before, some of you fellows
might say: "Look there, how he is
coming out."
One cannot fail to notice that, although
Senator Tillman looks well,
his old fire is gone. His step is halting
and the same is true of his taik.
Senator Tillman, speaking on the
tariff, dictated the following statement
to newspaper men:
"I think the last election hinged
nn ami flint the Ilemnrrnts were rn?v.
missioned by the people to revise the
tariff, because the Republicans had
failed to reduce it as they promised.
"If the House of Representatives
doesn't carry out this policy it Will
be a great disappointment to the people.
hey will miss the first opportunity
the party has had since the war
to restore themselves in the confidence
of the country. i
"The idea of a tariff for revenue ;
only is preposterous in the light of 1
the magnitude of our expenditures.
We have a billion-dollar Congress ev- l
cry session and, while there Is much <
extravagance and any number of use- <
less offices, the country will not take I
kindly to any radical or ultra <
changes. 1
"The party ought to follow the old i
Latin maxim, In medio tutissimus <
ibis, (you will walk safest in the <
middle of the road.) Which means i
that we must have a tariff sufficiently t
large to get the money for the expenditures
required by the Govern- i
ment, and yet not interfere with the 1
business interests of the country.
"Free trade is a dream that will :
never be realized, and any one ac- s
quainted with Washington at all <
knows how hard it is to abolish any 1
office at all. It is, therefore, a diffi- i
cult role the Democrats have to play,
and it will require wisdom and good 1
judgment to keep clear of the rocks, i
"If the House of Representatives, <
which is Democratic for the first time i
in a long while, passes a tariff law,
and the Senate rejects that tariff law, 1
this bill will become the issue en ?'
which the next Presidential election *
will turn. t
"Any deficit ought to be made up i
by levying a graduated income tax, t
and thus make the multi-millionaires,
who have been multiplied and manu- t
faetured bv the iniquitous Republican 1
tariff legislation, bear their just share t
of the burdens of the Government. t

Senator Tillman would not make \
any statement on the dispensary situation.
"I .am expecting a new sensation
every day," said the Senator.

died situation, but did not comment. j>

HEALTH HOARD VRGES CLEANLT'
DAY FOR THE STATE.
?
State Health Officer Williams Makes
Vigorous Flea for Statewide Spring
Cleaning Next Month.
April 10 Is Uie day designated by
the State board of health for a Statewide
"clean-up day." State Health
Officer C. F. Williams said Tuesday
that the custom of having such an
annual "health festival" was of long
,.4 : .. t . f II. ^ Cl.,
KlilllUUlK 111 III it II y Ul lilt; OlraeB,
though here it will be an innovation.
Dr. Williams said in discussing the
matter that sanitarians today believe
in asepsis?the removal of dirt ?
rather than in antisepsis?the disinfection
of dirt. The clean-up day he
picturesquely styled a "vernal renaissance
of our sanitary morals."
Observance of such a day, he said, is
accepted by the outside world as evidence
"of enlightenment, sanitary
culture and a desire for the best in
morals and physique on the part of
those participating."
Dr. Williams has had printed some
advance sheets of a board of health
bulletin, in which some suggestive
paragraphs occur:
"Previous to the day set for cleanup'
day, a meeting of citizens in each
community should be held, to formulate
some systematic scheme for
cleaning up their town.
"Householders should begin at
home?doubtless every citizen feels
that his house, his outhouses and his

mistaken. The board of health does
not undertake to accuse any one of
dirtiness, it does urge that on this one
day of the year every man, woman
and child, and all their premises, he
made cleaner than they ever were
before.
"Dirt and trash of all kinds, old pipers,
tin cans, decaying wood, the remains
of baby's Christmas toys, the
pile of decaying food under the kitchen
window, the trash in the gutters
that you have been planing to move,
but haven't got around to the foecal
accumulations about the outhouses,
the chicken head by the woodpile
where last Sunday's victim was executed?Clean
up, pile up and burn oi
haul off all of them and give your
fence and outbuildings a fresh coat
of whitewash?leave the front yard
for the last?it probably is doing
rainy wen. wnen you get tnrougn, go
over and offer to help your neighbor
?-he will refuse it, but he won't need
help next time, and you will have
aided the cause that much.
"At school the teachers should lay
hooks for a day? explain to the
children the odject of the day's worx,
and start them playing the game of
running down germs.
"Small boys like to kill things, lei
them know that every can of water
emptied kills hundreds of mosquitoes,
every mass of decaying filth
burned is death to thousands of flies,
every coat of whitewash buries millions
of germs?give arbitrary numerical
values to these different operations
and let the kids keep score
ef their "killings." Put them in aprons
and let them daub whitewash to
Lheir hearts' content.
"When the school is clean inside

with the domestic clean up.

"Hotels and restaurants offer a

the flag of cleanliness.
"The municipality can do its share
t)y cleaning public buildings, parks

ill, by arranging to remove all waste,
rash and garbage as they are placed
n convenient places by householders.
"Let railroads and street railways
ry just this once the experiment of

oilets in cleanly and sanitary condiion.
"Aside from the moral effect of
?uch a campaign, the beautifying efect,
and the educational value of
mch a demonstration, the following
?ood results are sure to follow in
tome degree:
"Fewer flies during the spring and

"The advertising value to you and

To Look Into and Investigate His
Acts in Connect ion With the Dispensary?The
Old Commission
Welcomes the Work and Wants

"The new dispensary coin mission
will do the work that the legislative
investigation committee was to do
and will save the State that much
money."
Making this statement Gov. Illease
vetoed the measure passed by tne last
iroiiprnl asspinhlv nrovidinsr for a
C - W M ? ?-?
commission to investigate the acts
and affairs of the old State dispensary
commission, which act was requested
by himself.
4,I have turned over all papers in
my possession to the new commission,"
said the governor, "with the
instructions to investigate all of the
affairs of the old State dispensary *
and those connected with the winding
up of it. 1 instructed the members
to spare no one.
"While the members of the new
commission are all friends of mine
and personal supporters, I have
asked that they make a rigid investigation
of all of my acts as State
senator, private citizen and governor
of the State. I want everything to
come out.
"The new commission will subpoena
T. R. Felder of Atlanta and
require him to tell everything th.it
he knows about my record as a member
of the State senate, as governor
and private citizen. This is the way
Gov. Rlease commented upon t lie
work of the new commission.
The members of the new dispensary
commission which met Monday
in the office of Gov. Blease are: John
V. Wallace, Charleston; Thomas F.
Brantley, Orangeburg; Fred II. Dominick,
Newberry; B. F. Kelly, Bishopville,
and James Stackhouse, Marion.
These are the members that Gov.
Blease has ordered to make an investigation
of the affairs of the old
State dispensary and pass sentence
upon the old members of the commission.
Just when and where the work
will commence has not been announced.
The new commission held
its first meeting Monday, when an
organization was perfected by the
election of James Stackhouse an

ville was elected secretary. The commission
received all of the papers
held by the old commission which
was dismissed by the governor several
days ago and will take charge of
the final winding up of the affairs ot
the old State dispensary.
Gov. Please said that he would i
turn all of his papers over to the
commission to be used in the investigation.
Several days ago the gov- f
ernor said that, he had a "mountain
of testimony" that he would produce
at the proper time. He said that all
of his evidence would be used by the '
new commission in its work.
The members of the old dispensary
commission who are to be investigated
by the new commission x]
are: Dr. \V. J. Murray, chairman, v
Columbia: John McSween, Timnions- t

Shortly after taking the oath of 0
office Gov. Hlease sent a message to j.
the general assembly intimating f
"crookedness" on the part of the
members of the dispensary commission.
He requested that a commission
be named to make a thorough ^
