racked (JaJlerles and Attentive g
lleacliCN Hear Wilson Plead for
Wrlct Observ&iicv, ??f Treaty Obll
gallons to t.'reat Britain?Congress (
Will Probably Yield. f
President Wilson went to congress '
Thursday and pleaded for repeal of
the provision of the Panama canal f
ot which exempts American coast- *
wise shipping from tolls. He tersely '
assorted that his reason for asking 1
the repeal was because everywhere 1
in me i nitoa states, tho tolls 1
exemption wiw regarded as u viola- ?
tion of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty 1
and ho further naked It In support of 1
the administration's general foreign
poliny.
n
That tho president s request will
be granted thero aoemor little doubt %
Thursday night, despite the fact that '
th ore will ho vigorous opposition both
ha tho Senate and the House. Aside c
from tho bearing of tho message on r
tho Panama tolls question, some of (
the phrases used by tho president attractod
widespread comment In congressional
quarters as relating to for- '
eign relations in general. In some
quarters there was a disposition to ,
regard some of his statements in the ^
nature of a warning on the difficulties r
involved in "other matters of even
greater delicacy and nearer consequences."
'
Hater in the day tho president him- 1
self, talking with callers, explained '
that those phrases had no significance
beyond their bearing on tho need of v
rigorous good faith in the Panama '
tolls questions, as an evidence of un- 1
?a o vnrl n v rr/\/\/l #.% I 4 1* - n *
nuiviiiif, laiiii on an oiner
questions, and that nothing critical *
waa pending In foreign relations. *
But the language of the message con- f
tinned to bo commented upon as lutv- '
ing an application considerably
broader than tho Panama question. r
Three points in particular were f
noted: First, tho president's state- i
raent that no communication he had 1
addressed to congress carried "graver r
or more farreachlng Implications to t
the interests of the country"; second, <
that everywhere, outside the United t
States tho language of tho Hay- c
Pauncefote treaty was given but one \
interpretation; and, third, tho con- r
eluding statement as to "other mat- i
tors of ever greater delicacy and nearer
consequence". c
Tho president further told his call- a
ars that while he never had received c
U17 formal communication on tho v
subject, he had understood that Phi- j
ropean nations generally took tho y
same view as did Great Britain?that 1
tho Ilay-Pauncefote treaty was vio- \\
latod by the Panama canal act. lie c
pointed out that in dealing with foreign
affairs, nations which believed c
the United States did not keep a c
promise 011 so important a treaty as e
the llay-Pauncefote convention would v
not be likely to believe the nation t
sincero on other delicate questions, l
Word had como to tho president of c
a general impression in Europe that li
tho United States was "sailing as s
clone to tho wind as possible" In in- y
terpreting promises made in its 11
treaties. No pressure had been c
brought to bear by any nation but u
the president was conlldent that for- s
oign governments had this feeling on e
tho subject. g
The Panama tolls question has ii
been a subject of dispute for nearly t
two years. Diplomatic correspondence c
between Great Britain and the United v
States found the question unsettled
when President Taft left office. Ex- t
cept for an assurance to James Hryce, p
then British ambassador, when he r
left the United States a year ago that ii
the question would be taken up in e
the regular session of congress. Pros- a
ident Wilson has never directed any h
official communication to England on a
tho tolls question. The president re- t
cently told callers h? had never dls- u
cussed tho matter formally or infor- a
mally with the British ambassador \\
here, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, because s
b.e bqlieved the obligation on the part f<
of the XJnited States to repeal the ex- e
omption clause was one which this h
government Itself should realize without
outside influence or pressure. f(
The House chamber and galleries I
were packed as usual to hear tho o
president read his address. The c
French and German ambassadors and d
other members of the diplomatic n
corps were in spaces reserved for
tliem. No official of the British embassy
was present. The Misses Wil
aon nau pianos in tne executive gal- k
lery and Mrs. Wilson for the first vs
time was absent. She has not yet re- t,
covered from the shock of a fall In
the White House several days ago.

President Wilson's address, the
diortest he has yet delivered to congress
-exactly 420 words?was as
olio ws:
'Gentlemen of the Congress:
"1 have come to you upon an or and

ONE YEAR'S RECORD
?
A STATEMENT OF TIIK THING*
WILSON HAS ACHIEVED.
?
TRUE TO HIS PLATFORM
A Numerical Reckoning of the ActioiiH
of the Democratic Party ii
the Past Year Under the Leader
ship of Wuodrou' Wilson?Tarlfl
and Currency Iteform Stand First
One year of Woodrow Wilson's ser
vice as president of the United Statej
and leader of the Democratic part}
has become history. One-fourth oi
his elective period has expired. 11
taking stock no chief executive hat
ever found such a remarkahlo record
of performance to his credit. With
persistence and wisdom he has steadfastly
urged redemption of all pledget
carried in the Baltimoro platform
lie has been supported by bott
branches of Congress to a more mark
ed degree than any predecessor
Here is the way the Democrat!
range their constructive achievement
of the llrst year:
1. Passage of the Underwood tarifl
hill. The first tariff for revenue in a
generation and tho first tariff passed
without the aid of the lobby. The
president impressed his personality
upon this bill, as shown by his insistence
upon freo raw sugar, despite
the protests of Democratic Louisiana
and tho beet sugar growers of the
west. The bill received tho votes of
Republicans and Progressives because
it was an improvement over the "indefensible"
schedules of the PayneAldrich
law. As Mr. Wilson has said,
the tariff question was but part of the
general question of the development
of industry, which, year by year, hae
grown so complex and so difficult tc
set apart In its elements. What effect
the turlff Issue will have on the
president's fortunes in tho fall campaign
remains to be seen.
2. More important than the tariff,
but part of the general question of
development, was the currency legislation,
tlie psychological effect of
which went far to bring about the
era of good feeling between the government
and its old enemy, big business.
Tho passage of this bill was
<luo directly to the unwavering stand
of the president for immediate action.
Tho congressional lial)it of procrastination
asserted itself at tho time in
tho efforts of many members to have
this question deferred until tho regular
session opened in December.
They wanted to quit work and go
homo after passing the tariff in September,
but tho president would not
hear of it because he believed public
sentiment demanded action. He
aroused tho public to support the
moasuro and overcome the opposition
of such powerful institutions as the
National City bank of New York and
others who advocated a central bank.
In tli's connection, the Democrats recall
that seventeen years ago the Republican
party was put in control of
the government on a tight made on
tho financial question, but it remained
for a Democratic president to initiate
and urge a modern currency
system that meets tho business needs
of tho nation.
??. Tho elimination of tho lobby
from congress as a result of th exposure
made by President Wilson. Special
committees wore appointed by
both branches of congress to investigate
this lobby. The committees examined
hundreds of witnesses and
the result of that legislation is about
to be introduced to correct this abuse,
if legislation can correct it.
4. Tho perfection of tho first two
amendments to the constitution since
1S70; namely, the imposition of an
income tax, and tho provision electing
senators by the direct vote of the
people, Tho income tax measure,
which is a feature of the new tariff
law, "makes the fortunes of the rich
bear their proportionate part of the
burden of taxation," and will bring
into the fpderal treasury $100,000,000
a year, according to Democratic
claims.
5. The peace program of Secretary
of State Bryan, who has negotiated
treaties embodying the principle of
"postponement" as an integral feature
of intoYnatlonal law, with the
purpose of divesting international
disagreements to their inflammable
ehnraeter. Seven of tho treaties embodying
the plan have been negotiated.
6. Tho action of the president in
bringing together representatives of
capital and labor, resulting in the
prompt passage of tho industrial employees'
arbitration act by congress,
thereby preventing a tie-up of railway
passenger and freight trains east
)f tho Mississippi.
7. Tho president's "constitution of
jeaco" or "the now conscience", resulting
in tho voluntary breaking up
>f interlocking directorates. The
withdrawal of J. Pierpont Morgan
md his partners from the directories
of twenty-seven different cor>orations
has been followed in turn
>y the retirement of (h-orge F. Baker
md others from interlocking direcorates.
They pursued this action In
tdvnnce of the statute prohibiting inerlocking
directorates soon to be
I written on tho federal law books.
8. President Wilson's program of
co-operation with the business interests
of the nation, resulting in the
elimination of tho American Tele'
phone and Telegraph company, popularly
known as the telephono trust,
from control of tho Western Union
Telegraph company.
9. Action of the secretary of the
I treasury in depositing $">0,000,000 of
I government funds in tho banks of tho
south and west to assist in the movement
of crops. Under previous ad
ministrations this money has been
made nvaiable only for the banks of
1 New York.
12. The foreign policy of the administration,
which divorced the gov1
eminent from affiliation with the
Now York tinanclal interests that
were parties to the six-power loan to
. China.
. 13. Development and extension of
r the parcel post system, comprising a
r reduction of rates and an increase of
, the size of packages.
, 14. The inauguration by tho deI
partment of agriculture of a system
, of markets whereby It Is hoped scientific
and modern business methods
j will be applied toward tho elimination
of wasto In distributing farm
! products.
15. Action of the socrotary of tho
navy in forcing tho armor plate trust
t to submit In competition bids for ar,
rnor plate and for Iron and steel UBod
In tho construction of Battleship No.
3 9, which effected a saving of $7 82,117;
and similar efforts which socur1
ed a saving on projections of $1,098,1
4 60.
Ifi. Action of tho secretary of agriculturo
in extending the work of
that department to tho home life of
the farmer, so as to bring about a
1 bettor knowledge of farm domestic
conditions, and to experiment with
labor-Having devices and methods.
This is an effort to help the woman
on tHo farm.
17. Formation of a new public
' land policy by tho secretary of the
interior, which combines conservation
and tho proper use of tho lands of
1 our national domain. This policy is
1 one that lies between those things
advocated by the exploiter and those
advanced by tho extreme conservationists.
His policy is that the land
Hhould be used for the purpose for
1 which it is beat fitted* and that it
should be disposed of by the government
with respect to that use under
such conditions as to prevent mon1
opoly.
18. Enactment of the Lever bill
for farm extension work. It is ln1
tended to carry to tho farm the scientific
discoveries made by the department
of agriculture and the State agricultural
colleges. The system proposed
in the hill has been applied for
1 years by the principal nations of Europe.
19. Action of the president in advocating
a primary system for the
selection of nominees for the presidency.
20. Enactment of tho Alaskan railway
bill, which it is believed will
open up the resources of Alaska, one
<>i tno most productive northern countries
of the world. This measure provides
for the construction of one
thousand miles of railroad, under the
direction of the president-, at a cost
not exceeding $ 10,000,000.
21. Action of the secretary of the
navy in putting into effect a system
of academic, vocational and technical
instruction for the benefit of the enlisted
men so as to increase their eflieiency,
and to equip the men behind
the guns for promotion.
22. Dissolution of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific merger, and
the surrender by tlie Pennsylvania
railroad of its large holdings in its j
competing rival, the Baltimore and
Ohio, in which Mr. Me Reynolds insisted
that dissolutions unler tho anti-trust
laws should bo free from the
defects of the plans adopted in the
Standard Oil and tobacco cases. The
attorney general succeeded in having!
written into the decree in these cases
mai 1110 siook oi tue Southern Pacific'
owned by the Union Pacific should bo
placed in tbc hands of a surety company
for sale to the public.
So much for domestic matters.
In his foreign policy, Mr. Wilson
lias had harder going than In domes-1
tic matters. In their inception, none
of the problems in this field was of 1
his own making, except the Mexican
situation and even this question was
passed on to him by Mr. Taft. There
has been more difference of opinion
over the president's course in Mexl-|
can affairs than in any other matter
he has addressed himself to, not ex-.1

Tho Mexican problem la Inherently !
dim cult ?ind has been made the more
delicate because of tho conflict be-,
tween tho high moral principles upon ;
which tho president bases his policy 1
of watchful waiting and the materialistic
sentiments of those who sympathize
with the foreign concessionaries
in the troubled republic. He says 1
there can not bo peace and order, '
without justice, and that tho bloody 1
hands of Huerta can not work out '
stable peace, hence his refusal to
recognize him. Those who want to
understand tho president's attitude,
give him full credit for doing the best i
ho can under trying circumstances. I \

with Clyde Caldwoll Clement, co-dofendant
and alleged father of her
slain babo.
The elderly sweet-faced woman
strove heroically to control her emotion
during her painful recital, but
her eyes were frequently dimmed,
and two little girls, Ruth and Margaret
Pendleton, gazed in awed silence
at tho spectacle of thoi? nwllier
in tears.
Fleda was always a good, obedient
girl, the mothor said, until alio came
under tho influence of Clement in
Spartanburg. She attended Sunday
school regularly and scrupulously respected
her mother'ft wishes. Mrs.
Pendleton said that Fleda and Clement
knew each other when they were
children together In Polk county, but
her parents would not permit her to
spend much time in his company because,
according to Mrs. Pendleton,
ho was given to rough ways. Miss
Pendleton was mindful of parental
advice then, and it wag because she
could not come to her mother for
counsel In Spartanburg, the latter
said she believed, that Fleda yielded
to temptation.
The girl left homo to eko out the
scanty family Income, which had
been reduced by business reverses ,
and physical afflictions of her father,
J. II. Pendleton. Ho was at one time
a well-to-do merchant, hut his health

him to accept a position as travelling i
salesman for a shoe house, but fail- i
ing eyesight forced him to abandon
this plan. At present he is living in
Mooresville, N. C., and is engaged in i
tobacco farming. i
It was duo to tho father's poor
health that Mrs. Pendleton agreed to
allow her daughter to go out into the
world to work. What money Fleda
could make was needed to help sup- 1
port tho younger children. Mrs. Pen !
dleton said it was not true, as re- '
ported, that Fleda was driven from
home because she accepted Clement's 1
attendance; at that time sho would 1
have nothing to do with him.
While the family were living in '
Polk County Thomas Pendleton, the 1
uiuuiti, iu pu IU 0|liirtanburg

suaded Fleda to accompany him, and (
both entered the Spartanburg School
of Telegraphy. She soon mastered
the Morse code and left the school,
going to Atlanta, (la., to work. She 1
made several visits back home, and 1
while on one of these visits received 1
an offer from the Spartanburg school
for her services as a teacher. This '
offer was accepted, and when she re- ,
turned to the school she again on me 1
f
in contact with Clyde C. Clement,
then a student in the preparatory department
of Wofford College.
Soon after the old acquaintance '
was reopened, Mrs. Pendleton said, }
she ceased to hear from her daughter. 1
She telegraphed to the principal of p
the Spartainburg school relative to '
Fleda's whereabouts and was told
that the young woman could not be 1
found In Spartanburg, but was re- (
ported to be in Atlanta. Mrs. Pen- r
dleton said that the last letter she r
received from her daughter was some .
time in August of last year. After

Freezing Night on Island.
One night and tlio bettor part ?f
two days, Robert and Charles NVynn,
of Georgetown, fought the wind and
the cold on the lower VVaccaniaw,
and had they failed of winning tt
would have meant death by freezing
or drowuing. Sunday morning they
went up tile river in a small gasoline
launch. The going at first was merely
a little chilly, but the further up
tliey got the harder tho wind blew
and the colder became tho temperature.
They went as high as tho Thoroughfare,
where the Pee Dee joins
the Waccamaw.
At that point the wind was a?
strong that the little craft could make
no headway against it. They then
threw over the anchor. It held for
only a few mlnutee, when, with th?
engine working and the anchor overboard,
the boat began to drift with
tho wind. Nor did tho drifting stop
until the craft was piled up on th?
bank. And all tho time it was getting
colder.
There being no shelter on the boot,
the marooned young men went
ashore, gathered some dry wood and
started a lire. In the sweep of ths
wind tho firo ate up the wood as if it
were tinder. A pilo of fuel on th?

The night passed, as nights usually
do if one waits long enough, but
thero was no lull in tlio wind and no
rising of temperature. And th#
young men were without food. To
cold was was therefore added hunger,
and both spelled misery. The castaways
realized that something inuit
be done or the situation would aoon
becomo unbearable. They, therefor#,
struck out down the river bank walking,
walking liitrd to keep up tho circulation
of their blood. After som#
hours they reached the fishing earn#

from where their "shipwreck" had
occurred.
