In that breeze.Arpt.vale of con tentment, politics is cutting a very small figuie.in this.year of. grAce. It takes lean years of dullnesO to get the politi clan in the saddle anywhere. The State campaign meeting yesterday amounted to no more than a passing diversion for citizens' of the "Independent State" who did not register. largb . attendance and spent -most of their time slapping each other on the back and telling stories on one another. Statistics often don',t tell the truth. That was the thought that came to us when we [looked over' that crowd at Pickens yesterday and remembered that somebody or other somewhere or other said that the - figures showed tremend ous illiteracy in the "Independent State." If that was a representative assemblage yesterday-and we have ev ery reason to believe that it was-the figures were wrong. For these were in telligent folks that we saw and talked with, people ewho are progressive and informed, far too wise, we should say, ever to be led and driven in the politi cal arena, doubtless living up to the ancient Roman observation that "the mountaineers are alwaYs freemen." We noticed among them one fellow of very plain appearance. Perhaps some goggle-eyed statistician might have taken a glance at him and classified him as illiterate, but we happened to know that he is one of the few mathematical geniuses that the University of South Carolina has turned out in a quarter of a century-in fact he used to be on its faculty and, if he had remained there, he might today be head of the mathe matics department, but he longed to live again in sight of the saphire peaks that in majesty stand sentinel over the good land of Pickens and has returned there to be one of its best and .most useful citizens. Pickens is a republic of plenty, whose pleasant people are old-fashioned South Carolinians with progressive ideas. Its general product is stout-hearted, ami able, gerial manhood and gracious and lovely womanhood, all worthy descend ants of the brave and hardy Americans who settled there more than a century and a half ago and wrested the land from the Aboriginees. And it seems possible that they subscribe to the doc trine laid down by old Dean Swift when he said that any man who could make two blades of grass or two ears of corn grow where only one grew before was worth more to the world than the wkie race of politicians. Prosperitg.9md pol itics are poor bedfellQWA; -' L11Ambia state, Te gttrdy yeomanry of the county which has the largest percentage of white population iu South Carolina gave the state campaigners a good hearing Some 500 people heard the candidates and in the audience were many women, their rosy cheeks and striking appear ance bearing eloquent testimony to the fine climate which blesses this favorite section. Nestling in the foothills of the Blue Ridge and surrounded by a fine farming country, traversed by good roads and boasting as fine a type of cit izenship as can be found anywhere, Pickens today lived up to is reputation as a hospitable community - which wel' comes the stranger with outstretched hand, On the walls of the court house where the meeting began were several glaring posters telling of the evils of whiskey and stretched above the judge's stand was a large banner intertwined with the stars and stripes, witnesses of the prohibition sentiment and the patriot ism of this county. Greenville News. In the audience that gathered to hear the caravan, were a number of girls and women, rosy-cheeked and ruby-lipped, as is usual with the women of this beautiful and healthful section of the state; this section where the white pop ulation in greater predominance than elsewhere; where there are small land owners more frequent than in many other parts of the commonwealth, and where there Is a noticeable spirit of agricultural progressiveness, and edu cational advancement.

Federal Inquiry or Railroad Strike? Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation 'costs of' $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that' this wage p-roblem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public-Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the -employee for the settlement oft the controversy is as follows: "Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion. and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods: 1. Preferably by submission to the faterstate Co'mmerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its wocumulated in formation bearing on railway corpditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a posi tion to consider and protect th, rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue, necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to' be just and. reasonable; or, is the event the iaterstate Commerce Coinmisson cannot, under existin laws, act in the premise. that we jointly request Coagress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the oission. to consider anji promptly dispose of the questions involved; or 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newland. Act). ' Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June 1-1.5, re'fused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether' authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Conmmission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for tese reasons: N. other body with such an intimate know;.dge -plee as wage.; and the money to- ay increased wage. of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posd- earn come from no other source than the rates paid tion is the public confidence, by the public..

A Question For the Public to Decide The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandlate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the fact. .'
