THE "UNEMPLOYED"
Jacob S. Coxey, of Masslllon, O.,
announccH that he is going to rulsc
this spring a new "Coxey's army," to
march on Washington and impress
the government ollictnls with the need
of better legislation! May 1 will be
the anniverHary of tlie Coxey army

These periodical parade? of tlio
"unemployed" bav? serio-comic ele
ments characteristic of our pictures
que American Ufa, Yet there lu noth
ing funny about the general questfon
of unemployment. While the num
ber of "out of works" is constantly
aggravated by unwise legislation and
needless business fears, there seems
to be a steadily increasing inability
of our idustrial system to provide
regular work.
Itecent statistics /from New York
state show that 87 per cent of the
manufacturers get help by sticking
curds in the wlndowH. Tin* ability
to attract labor In this way Indicates
u constant Idle reserve drifting about
the streets.
The ?maller type of factories for
merly so common were much more
steady In operation. Turning off an I
industrious mechanic was regarded I
as almost an disgraceful as bankrupt-1
cy. To confess thgfyuu had no work
for him was Interpreted by the com
munity us showing mismanagement,
or lack of hustling for orders.
Today a manufacturing firm fluct
uates-; in number of help employed.
,The fellow who is dropped begins
[search for work with grim determi
nation- After rebuffs",, he iosec his
nerve. Lack of nourishing food,
constant worry about Iiis family, give
his face a wild look of strain. With
frowsy clothes he looks like a tramp
to the man who h if es help.
Many states have established em
ployment agencies. Too often, man
aged by politicians, <Vaey have been
iuofectent. There Is a valuable sug
gestion in the fact that the labor ex
changes recently established in En

their secoud year. *

REPRESSION Or ?4fl?tFT
The State of New at pre-I
scut engaged in one pfi Its smelling
rnmnaiarrtg that come around as reg
ularly as presidential elections. The
results are physically nauseating and
mentally depressing.
In the year 1910 there waa a gen
eral clean-up of graft In a number of
cities and states. The r?sulta were
widely accepted as rather permanent.
The house o* poiitfes, after ablutlona
of disinfectant* and purifiers, seemed
In fairly wholesome and sweet condi
tion. The New York Nation, remark
ing on the improvement, said at that
time: "It will be long before things
can get aa bad at Albarr at Colum
bus, and at Plttaburgh, as they were
before the work of hou??*cl*?alng waa
undertaken. i
Perhaps the editorial prophet who
wrote that forecast hv not as confi
dent of 'thin regulation aa he waa
This recurrence over and over again,
of the black trail of graft, through
public departments, legialaturea and
feature of American life.
Even if it were possible to put a lot
city councils, is the most depressing
of the grafters In jaU, the tempera
mental-good nature m the American
people would cense As-their relief.
The opinion wo?tjr jfb widely enter

"punished them enough."
The shock ?f s?paration from com
fortable or 'even faftaed homes would
awaken widesprei?t/aympathy. The
distress of their fan^Ues would create
ia
p'ty. The "plucky wuj iu which they
accepted the Inevitable" would give
rise utmost to admiration. Petitions
for their release would be freely
<! in utmost any business com
munity.
Graft will go on und on in politics,
until the grafters ure put on the
sauie planen au burgluru, and are Hen
tented accordingly and the sentence
executed. ?x?gai involutions ueed to
be ubhreviated, ho that final justice
can he meted out while the memory
of such acts is ?tili fresh.
MENACE OF THE TIMES
We think that the State Sunday
School convention might well petl
tlon congress to pans some constitu
tional act to prevent obucene litera
ture from being circulated in the
mails.
We have heretofore called attention
to the fact that the Cosmopolitan has
contained some stories that are abso
lutely foul. ThlH has been more than
a stundurd magazine. It lias been a
leader. And other magazines have
followed its lead?not quite so bra
zenly, but none the less subtly pub
lishing articles that are so cleverly
written liiut the smut is giazed over,
but the harm done. Colliers and oth
ers have slipped over the line.
There should be a national board
of mugazine censorship, just as there
Is for moving pictures.
We can reach each and suve the
youth of South Carolina cheaper than
we can prosecute those who would
otherwise become criminals. You
have gut to pay the taxes.

of the chief ' reasons why the appro

COL. AULL SAID
LETTERS WERE RAD
And Would Beat Blease for A
Seat in the United States
Senate
Columbia, Feb. 12.?Not a biuale
new fact was brought out at the in
vestigation into the affairs at the
asylum Thursday afternoon.
Col. B. H. Aull went back on the
stand and aaid that he did not tell
Dr. J. W. Babcock that the two letters
written by the governor attacking
character of Dr. Eleanor Saunders
would beat Blease for the senate,
lie also said that he told Dr. Babcock
that a certain newspaper would pny
a biK sum for the letters.
At a previous session Col. Aull said
that lie did not remember these state
ments. He aaid that he considered
one of the letters written by the gov
ernor a reflection on Dr. Saunders,
a young woman.
Dr. W. L. Settlemeyer, of Caffney,
a member of the board of r?genta,
was on the stand for several hours
Ills memory was vague on many mat
ters. He could not call one specific
instance to-substantiate his attitude
toward Dr. Saunders. lie based his
opinions on hereaay evidence.
Dr. Saunders cross examined him
and he paid a high tribute to her
work and character. The sessions
will be continued Friday.
MORNING SESSION
The Sunday school conver. .'on re
sumed its work this morning at 9:40.
The song service formed a delightful
introdcutlqn to the day's work. The
devotional ..exercises were conducted
by Dr. T. : H. Law.
Almost every denominational
publishing house has on exhibition a
full line of Sunday school literature,
and Mr. Fitzgerald, of Nashville.
Tenu.,, is In charge of the exhibit.
Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner address
ed the convention upon the topic
"Graded Instruction in th? Klemen
tary Division." She used the im
provements in facilities for biuldlngs
as a type of improvements in Sun
day school Instruction. The chief re
sponsibility for Bible knowledge rests
upon the parents, rattier than upon
Sunday school teachers.
The generation preceding curs hadi
no songs nor literature especially
prepared for' little children. Just aa
have been five, steps nl the advance
vance of lighting facilities, so there
havo been fivg stepp in the advance
of intellectual 'and moral Illumina
tion, in th^lmethoda, of Sunday school
instruction! ?

The cradle roll means not only the

The pastor, the superintendent, the
elementary superintendent, you,
should immediately undertake this
this work until there shall be a cradle
roll in every Sunday school in South
Carolina.
The strongest reason for this ef
I fort is found in the Master's words
tu 'ni? disciples when they under
took to hinder devoted mothers from
i troubling him with their little onee
! "Suffer the little ones to come unto

Mr. Roper rendered an improvisa
tion of "Safe in the arms of Jesus,"
I words by Miss Fannie Crosby, melody
by W. H. Donne. It will be interest

Doane oimiliarly wrote the melody.
He went to Miss Crosby and played
the melody and asked her to write
the words suitable for it. She pro
duced the words previously written
and they were found to be Just what
he desired.
'.'The Challenge of Adolescence,"
was presented by Prof. J. W. Thom
son, of Winthrop College. More than
half a million of young people in the
"teen age" drop out of our Sunday
schools every year. This fact places
the problem clearly before the Chris
tians workers. The period of ad*
oleucence is the age of hero worship;
the time for dveelopment of social
and religious instincts.
William Pitt and younger, and
James Pox are famous instances ol
the effects to be secured by training
which begins in Infancy and is care
fully continued htrougb all the years
of chilhood and youth.
The biography of the Bible appeals
to the youthful Instinct of hero wor

Pay personal attention to your pu*

Dr. Williamson gave the second ot
his expositions of Philippines. Pan!
declares -."For me to live is Christ."
What a marvelous transformation of
mind occurred between the time
when he hated Christ wi' h all th?
force of is nature and the time when
he wrote these words. "For me to die
is gain." Death bad no gloom for
Paul. He does not call it "death."
He says "to be absent from the body
is to be at home.with the Lord."
? Paul is anxious for all the members
of his church to be in harmony with
each other. He is opposed to discords
and appeals for accord.
We are not doing enough of doctr
