"CARJRANZA sees the point"-headline in Charleston Post. You bet he does; and the point has a soldier behind it. IT is hoped that if Colonel Aftermath does get down into Mexico he will bring back a lock of Old Whiskers' whiskers with him. Two ex-presidents are enough at a time. So we'll just let it go at that and keep Woodrow on the job four years more. T HE Mexican trouble, it is said, threat ens the chewing gum industry on ac count of a shortage in chicle. It is ar ill wind, etc. IN 1908 Roosevelt stuffed Taft dowr the throats of the Republicans anc made them like it. Can he do it witi Ilughes this year? FROM the lofty Big I Am, Terriblk Teddy has fallen to the level of a com mon ward heeler in trying to make thf G. 0. P. believe he can deliver the Bul Mdoose vote to the old liners. WHEN Mr. Bryan entered the Wilsoi cabinet he said there would be no wa during that administration. And if th jingoes ddn't hurry up the Commoner words will prove to be true ones.

WHAT has become of all those ran bunctious fellows who yvere spoiling ft a tight in Mexico and who were cussii Uncle Sam for not taking a hand not very. lohg ago? Now's the time f< them to show their patriotism. IT is said that an American dollar wi buy more foreign money now than eva before in the history, of the world.

MANY prominent Agull Moosers are ni satisfied with being turned over as 'chattel of Roosevelt to the old-line R< pablicans; and as a result they as affiliating themselves with the Demi 'cratic party, where they belonged a the while but didn't know it. Tmls year's cotton crolj har been est mated by the government agricultura 'department at over fourteen mllioe - - 500-pound bales.

This is the way one of ' the diplomats not a thousand miles from here has itsdoped out: "Them Jaypans have got it in for us and thetn Spains Y ain't got over the lickin we gave 'em. Hit's a well - known fact that them ai Mexicoes don't like us a bit, and just f as shore as the world if we go down T thar we've got to fight them Jaypans, Spains and Mexicoes all put together." LAST week on poetry we were shy; 1 And now we'll tell the reason why: Ye editor is on vacation bent- 0 He'd better come home and pay the rent! N d Publishers Will Be le Forced to Make Advance in Prices The piice of all kinds of paper con: tinues to advance. Indications are that in spite . of all that - can be done this country will be hard pushed for any kind of paper. Our paper houses tell us that a paper famine is imminent. The price of print paper has risen so high as to drive many newspapers out of business. T'day the price at which newspapers are sold doesn't anywhere near pay for the paper in them. News papers in some way will have to make up for the additional burden imposed upon them. One instance of the effect the war is having on the price of paper is that cellulose, a fibrous ma'tter produced from cotton, and linen rags and wood pulp and the basis of all kinds of paper, is now in great demand by the munition factories of this country for the manu r facture of high explosives. Munitions firms, rushed to the limit to fill war or ders, are paying fabulous prices for this material and as a consequence paper mills have been compelled to keep on r even terms in order to obtain the neces e sary supply for the manufacture of le print paper. The Dupont powder mills, w for example, have installed a battery of , beaters with a capacity vastly greater than the capacity of any paper mill in. c- the. United States and are paying top Ls prices for rag stock and commanding at first choice of this stock from all over e the country. it To the printer this means the neces sity. of advancing his advertising and circulation prices in proportion to the i- general advance in the price of paper. >r He has no alternative and the American l' i'eading public will have to foot the bill. o The price of The Sentinel will remain >r $1.00 just as long as it is possille for us to send it out, atfthat price, but from present indications that will not be long. IFrom the present outlook we will be r compelled to raise the .price of The it Sentinel before many days. it * His Hono,' Greenville News, June 29. a When some future' John Belton O'Neall writes a 'second "Bench and Bar of South Carolina," a goodly place in i.will be accorded to the present 1judge of ,the circuit, the Hon. T. J. Mauldin,' who is now holding court here. Judge Mauldin is the youngest wear i- er of the ermine in the state and is jun d jor to all the judges of our bench, save n one, yet he has established -himself in -the good will and good opinion of the i- bar generally. He discharges the on y erous responsibilities of his exalted of flee with firmness, fidelity and impar h thality, but in dloing so he displays a most uncommon tact and patience. Ur ~banity and courtesy -manifest them selves in all that he' does, From him come no sharp lenguage, no acidulous -criticisms, no' dy'speptic fulminations. 'It reay be contempt of- some courts to so say, but soiitte judges are too prone to regard themselves as judicIal demi Sgods. In :Judge 'Mauldin is found a most aggeable contrast to them--there is none 'of the surly judicial boor and bluff and bulldozer about hiim. For he is ever ready to listen to both sides in eall reasonable length, never assuming, Sthe role of om'niaciene. The future bench of this State is-go ing to be made up yery largely of men of Judge Mauldin's temperament. The e Judge Mackey style of .jNgd is going e out of fashion. Good rganners and good temper the bar has a tight to expect a from all judges. The 3udicial sour-bel ly and the judicial buff~eh Are anachron isms.
