LAUDED BY CLARK
THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS DID
GREAT THINGS SAYS THE
i ???
SPEAKER OF THE BODY
+.
Says the Work of the Democrats in
the House of Hepreseutatives Will
Civo the Tarty the House, the Senate
and the President in the Next
Election.
Speaker Champ Clark Saturday,
delivering the valedictory of tho
Democratic House of the sixty-second
congress, asserted that historians
would declare with absolute truth
that the House Democrats of the sixty-first
and sixty-second congresses
"did great things" and "have made a 1
sweeping Democratic victory approximately
certain, a victory that will
give us the House, tho Senate and 1
the president." j
Dramatically addressing his col- ,
leagues while the clock across the j
House enamoer was siuwij UIVM115 I |
toward the final adjournment time, ^
the speaker, In a tribute to leaders of (
both parties, declared that 110 major- .
ity was ever more successfully led .
than by Representative Underwood,
nor any minority ever led more ably ,
than by Representative Mann.
"Leader Mann," said he, "has con- <
tested with Leader Underwood every {
step of the long and wearisome road i
we have traveled with the' stubborn j t
courage of the English squares at t
Waterloo. I have not always agreed
with Brother Mann ? Clod forbid!? t
but he lives up fully to his name, i
He is in very truth a man. Were it f
not for him I would fee! decidedly c
lonesome in the speakei-s chair." i
As speaker?as "dean of the fac- >
ulty, so to speak"?Mr. Clark said 1
he felt very proud of the membership ;
of the House, and he declared his he- '
lief that Democrats should sit in the
seat3 of the mighty, hold every *
coigne of vantage and every place of 1
power. [
Speaker Clark said that for years 1
the Democrats had been sneered at
"as a narty of negation, green hands 1
In formulating and conducting pub- c
lie business, ridiculed as a mob, a 1
rabble, without coherence or discip- '
line as militia fighting regulars, and f
even exact date on which we would !
dissolve in.o waring factions and go 1
to pieces was set down in tpye". *
"But," he added, "the Democrats '
have fought and won like veterans j
and constitute thoroughly a discip- '
lined force as ever appeared in the 5
House or auv other parliamentary '
body since parliamentary bodies were (
Instituted among men, mustered our
full strength on every mportant prop- (
osition and passed two great tariff '
bills over the president's veto, the ^
first instance of the kind in the his- 1
tory of the republic." They had j
fought a good fight and kept the '
faith, he said. '
Mr. Clark said that "so long as 1
the earth spins upon its axis or slides 5
down the ecliptic," public men who '
would escape the people's wrath J
would take to heart the simpie ana
Instructive story of tlio astounding (
change in the political situation,
I "since that melancholy day in Nov- '
ember, 1008, when we were so com\
pletely flattened out." The lesson,
) in brief, he said, was that the Repub- ]
( licans, in order to get in, promised to ,
' revise the tariff down, hut, being in,
they proceeded to revise it up.
The speaker expressed thanks and
the gratitude of ll\e country to "the |
brave, wise and patriotic Republicans
who co-operated with us in passing
good hills. The secret of our
marvelous success," he said, "is simple?unity
of thought, purpose and
action, frequent counsel together, a
spirit of mutual conciliation, strict
adherence to principle, with tmost
latitude in non-essential, subordination
of individual desire to trie general
party good, sacrifice of personal
ambitions In the earnest, honest, patriotic
endeavor to serve the whole
people with whatever of capacity God
has blessed us.
"Wa have won many victories," ho
said, "but what is better, we have
formed the habit of victory." He suggested
that Roscoe Conkllng's declaration
that General Grant's fame was
earned not alone by things written,
but by the arduous greatness of
things done, "fits our ease like a
gleve".
"What the Democratic House accomplished,
so far as It could for the
amelioration of conditions," said he,
"thwarted, as it has been, by a Republican
president, is only an earnest
of what we will do when we come into
full possession of the three
branches of government. President
Taft vetoed most of our bills of a
remedical character, n prerogative
unwisely exercised. He made his record;
we made ours. On these records
we appeal to the country with
absolute confidence that when the
polls close in November we will have
elected a Democratic House and Senate.
Governor Woodrow Wilson to
m-nuidfiTiPv nmi Governor M.?r
(HC )/IWSlUV?vrf
shall to the vlce-presldcncy?consummations
devoutly to be wished,
which we believe and hope will prove
of inestimable and enduring benefit
to the entire American pa-ojde, of
kvr whatever persuasion, religions or poBP
litlcal."

LEVER'S BILL PASS
+
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION !
MEASURE IS NOW RAW.
Result of Several Years* Study and
Work on Part of Author, Who is
Pleased at Outcome.
The House has at last passed the
Lever agricultural extension bill, 1
providing for the establishment of '
agricultural exiensiuu ufpniucino
in connection with the agricultural
colleges and experiment stations in
the several states. This measure, to 1
which Mr. Lever has devoted several <
years of study and preparation, completes
an agricultural educational 1
system which had its beginning with (
the passageof the first Morrill Act in (
1802, augmented by the Hatch Act '
twenty-five years later. <
Under these enactments stores of
agricultural information and facts i
have been accumulated, but the one h
defect in the national system, until (
the Lever bill, has been the fact that 1
its practical and local application has J '
not reached the actual farmer. These i
scientific agricultural facts, gathered 4
by the experiment stations and (lis- '
seminated by the agricultural colleges,
have reached only limited;*
numbers in proportion to the total i1
rural population; and the passage of 1
[lie Lever bill, having as its main '
purpose the direct dissemmination (
imong agriculturalists of this accum- f
anted knowledge appertaining to ag- 1
dculturo and home economies,!1
hrough such agencies as field in- j '
itruction, demonstrations, publica-|(
ions and the like, will forge the last, c
ink of tlie chain in a complete sys- 1
em of national agricultural educa- c
ion. . 1
Under the appropriation section of
he Lever bill it is provided that an
nifial sum of $10,000 per year shall i
to each state unconditionally; an
idditional appropriation of $.'100,000 p
s appropriated for the first fiscal | f
rear and an annual increase of this j j
ippropriutlon of $100,000 a year, ov- J G
>r the preceding year, for a period of j;
line years is provided until the total i p
mount of additional appropriations f
vill he $.1,000,000 annually; but that i j
io state shall he entitled to any part j 0
>f these additional sums until its leg- p
slature shall have appropriated ah
similar amount for extension work, r
\s a matter of local interest, the']
^tate of South Carolina, under the f
jroportion its rural population bears
o the rural population of the conn- j
ry, would he entitled to receive an- T
aually the sum of TS.fiOO from the
federal Government; conditioned, of a
ourse, upon the appropriation of a c
ike sum by its State Legislature for
agricultural extension work. Any v
esser amount the legislature might Ic
see fit to apply to extension work }
vould be duplicated from the funds j
}f the national treasury. a
The bill places the disbursement r
if these funds and the control of the j
.vork to be conducted under its pro- f
/islons, under the direction of state r
ather than Federal authorities, .be- c
jause it was believed that each eft^e
lad its own individual agoicultairal f
problems which could best be work-1 ?
id out under local environment. The
system as it will work out seeks to J c
Jo In a larger measure what Is now {
aeing accomplished in sections (
hrough (ho farmers' co-operative \
iemonstratlon work. f
Possibly no measure this session,
certainly none of an economic na- f
.lire, has become more generally dis- ,
missed or more widely advertised ,
than the Lever extension bill. It has
been enthusiastically supported by .
leading agricultural thinkers in ev- j
srv section of the United States, the ?
rural press, business organizations, (
agricultural associations, agricultur- |
:il college presidents and experiment ]
station directors. President Taft in ]
his address at the Kansas City Con- f
serration Congress strongly support- ;
ed the idea, and Governor Wilson in ]
his speech of acceptance of the nomination
for the Presidency, said:
"There is another duty which the ;
Democratic party has shown itself
great enough and close enough to the ^
people to perceive, the duty of the
Government to share in promoting
agricultural, industrial, vocational ,
education in every way possible within
its institutional powers." The
Democratic platform at Daltimoro
urges Federal appropriations "for
such training and extension teaching
in agriculture in co-operation with
the several states". Mr. Lever, of
course, is enthusiastic over the outcome
of his long and continued efforts
in perfecting and working for
I the masses of this measure. When
seen Thursday afternoon, ho said:
"I regard tho passage of this bill
in the House as the most significant
and pregnant event of my Congressional
career. My first conception
of this bill arose somo years ago
when 1 first discovered the fact that
great as were the efforts of the national
Government in behalf of agriculture
they were not as far-reaching
as they ought to be into the actual
needs of the rural population. Hence,
as I have so often said, the purpose
of this bill is to reach tho farmer on
his farm with known agricultural
truths, but Rhowing him their peculiar
application to his individual and
particular needs. Tho agricultural
colleges and experiment, stations
have been and are now doing an efI
floient work In tho accumulation of
|fris agricultural knowledge, but
true progress among our rural
elapses will follow tlie wisest education,
and that teaching is wisest,
which. >eing efficient, is mont general
This end is tho aim of this hill,
and I regnal its passage in tho House
ur, niy most signal effort in behalf of
the vocation from which I have come
a (i "or 'ho hot; jrmetit of whose conditions
it has been my privilege humbly
to labor."
An analysis of tho vote In some of
tho big counties in tho Piedmont
smacks strongly of fraud. The matter
should be Investigated.
NO SUNDAY MAIL
NEW POSTAL LAW ORDERS OFFICE
CLOSED SUNDAYS.
?
If This Law AITccts Orangeburg
There Will Re No Sunday Delivery
Hereafter.
The following letter has been Bent
out to all llrst and second-class post

Washington, Aug. 24, 1912.
Postmaster.

ict for tlie fiscal years ending June
JO, 1913, provides:
"That hereafter posto/Tlces of the
first and second classes shall not be
:>pon on Sundays for the purpose of
leiivering mail to the general public,
but this provision shall not prevent
the prompt delivery mail."
Under tills law, you will cose the
general delivery carriers' windows!
ind lock boxes and discontinue all
leliveries by carriers 011 Sunday. You
.vill note, however, that special deivery
mail is expected and you will
hereforo arrange to have 011 duty a
mflicient force to handle this mail
natter promptly.
The department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so that
is many of the employees as possible
nay enjoy a complete day of rest on
Sunday. You should, therefore, rejuire
only a sufficient number of
lerks to report for duty 011 that day
11 order that tansmlt mall and the
nail collected for dispatch may he
ian<lle<l without delay. If no mail is
lispatched 011 Sunday a very early
ollection should be made on Monday
norning and the mail for local deliv>ry
distributed before the carriers
cave for their first trip.
Respectfully,
C. P. Grand field,
"irst Assistant Postmaster General.
The new law was passed by congress
and signed by the president heore
any intimation was heralded of
<u prnnilnii It was nrobablv work
(1 upon the quiet fo keep down the
iowI that would have been raised, es ecially
by the larger cities. Aside
rom being a blow to thr? masses who
(ke to read and answer their letters
hi Sunday, the greatest sufferers will
>e those who are accustomed to read
he mammoth editions of the Sunday
tapers. It will be a blow to the pubisliers
who derive much business
rom the Sunday editions.
In every other first and second class
tostoflice city in the United States,
night as well be a sarcophagus on
unday hereafter, unless the mail you
ire expecting happens to bear a 10ent
special delivery stamp.
And if you received a single articlo
esterclay, letter, newspaper, or merhandise
that did not bear that stamp
t was only because tho local authorties
had not received notification of
l law passed by Congress Saturday
light?a law which is probably the
nost drastic and stringent Sunday
nactment that ever received the signature
of the president of tho United
States.
If provides that from midnight of
aturday until midnight of Sunday no
trtiele of mail received at a lirst or
econd class postoflice sh*il be "work;d"
even to tho extent of placing it
n a box, except it be of the special
lelivery variety. In that case it will
>e delivered as usual. The law is efective
at onc.e

1 no new siaiuie uues nut euuti tut:
lispatching of letters posted, which
-vill be sent on the various trains as
isual.
Some curiosity was expressed here
is to how such a law could have
massed through both Houses of Congress
and been signed by the president
without publicity attaching to
he procedure. It was regarded as
lardly conceivable that this could
have been accomplished without a
;reat protest, especially from the
large cities, if the intention had been
known.
There are business men in this city
who have never dreamed of letting a
Sunday pass without procuring, opening
and answering their mail. The
task of readjustment will ne for these
an extremely difficult one.
Most inconver ience to the public
at largo will result in connection with
the distribution of Sunday newspapers
from out-of-town points. Local
newspapers are delivered by carrier,
but in the towns which do not
have Sunday newspapers one of the
leading events of a day is the arrival
of the big town daily. The situation
Is n no thk? Will doilbt
less receive different solutions. In
not many cases will the people forego
the pleasure of enlivening their
only day off if there is any possible
means by which the paper can be socured.
Incomrnlcnco will also be caused
those connected with the publication
of Monday morning papers since
newsletters arriving on Sunday will
be non-delivery unless bearing special
delivery stamps.
About a year ago an agitation wat
launched In some quarters for a partial
Sunday closing, and this wenl
into effect here. The scope of this
was the abolition of delivery at carriers'
windows and the restriction ol
the general delivery window to 3(
minutes' time.
The only object that will be sub
served by the new law, so far as is
apprehended, is a modest saving tc
the public treasury. The statute pro
vidos that where an employee is re
lulred to work on Sunday ho must b<
given a holiday at some other tinu
| of the week within six days. An em
ployee cannot bo worked over elgh
hours a. clay and all this period nius
bo Included within 10 hours.

THEY GOT TOO BOLD
SEVERAL RAILROAD MEN CHARGED
WITH FRAUD.
A Rig Round-Up of Alleged Swindlers
by the Southern Railway Company
at Mobile.
Completing a trip through four
states in a round-up of indicted former
employees of the Southern railway,
Detective Edward McQueen of
ihe Jtaihvuy Secret service, reached
.Mobile Friday. The search, which
is for the time being ended, began
August G and was for the purpose of
arresting eleven ticket sellers and
ticket takers of the Southern, who,
it is alleged in the indictments, swindled
the company out of more than
$25,000.

UT II1U t'luvuii luu iVytuu tin
tjIue have been landed behind prison
bars. One has pleaded guilty and six
others have confessed. Two are at
liberty, but their arrest Is but a matter
of time. All of the alleged depredations
were committed on the Mobile-Selma
branch of the Southern
railway. The operations extended
I back for ten years, but the indictI
meats allege only thoso acts perpetrated
withii) the period of three
years. All of those indicted had been
in the employ of the company for
many years.
The scheme or conspiracy was
worked by tlie ticket seller selling
the passenger a ticket which he
would not stamp as required by the
railroad. Boarding the train the
tickets taken from these passengers
by the ticket collector would not be
returned to the collector in accordance
with regulation, hut to the ticket
seller in on the deal. He in turn
would put the ticket hack in the rack
to be sold over again, splitting the
money with the ticket taker. Whenever
the auditor put In an appearance
to check up the ticket seller,
the tickets would balanco with the
previous statement when compared
with the finances on hand. Jn nusi
way tlie scheme worked interruptedly
for a number of years and then there
was a careless slip in the plot and the
indictments followed.

The heavy vote for governor has

there have been frequent charges of

three more recounts are now going
on. In other the irregularities, of a
