the Senate and from what I have
seen of you I iMleve this Is truc.
With Illease as an annoulnced candi
date for the Uilted States Senate,
:11y Opinion was and is that it. is in
jictative for him to be met in debato
at everi ieeting, so as to keep tho
tru an ' i vtal Issues o[ thbe war and 1(
loyalty to our couni1try and govern
me lit h fole the people; that as you
could not make the campaign and
mee't IWeas in debate and keep the
tI'e issue(' hilly before tih people,
Som G n mus ))( 1111t U1 inl the re to do

Ia is ICp IseIntcd in the Senate by
one wtho was and is loyal to the
1' iite l Stfates tin(] a strong supporter
of iesideit Wilson and hii,, adminis
tratio). Ilease certainly does not fill
the e reqpiirment's. The ann1uoin nee

ent Otate of health, has caused deep

above, but I am not. respnihusitile for
his antioumnement. s1ine I am ilor1m
iii that h soought advice (if meln in

I belie.ve thlat youl hiave ( lavall
to the Presidenit and souiid on tho
war Issues, but know that tho na
tional peril is such that we must ha%e
men who are not only loyal, but men
who are active In the Senate as well.
It is also imperative to put before the
ieople the exceeding daiger to our
nation and youv plani of condueting l,
front lorich or newspaper campalgn
will -fall far short. of meeting the sit
uation. Our people are fast ililuene
e(d by the spoken word and that fact
yol have long ('lllphas!zed in youtr
political career. I know that it Is
t1ost important to infornt our peoplo
face to faco about the war, in order
that they may know the whole Iruitl.
Mi. ILever is a mnan of responsibility
an(1 judgment ald he will doubtless
eent lie suggestion that he Is the
candidate of any nian. Ills long antd

him worthy of the consideratlln of
any man in this connection. I stated
my views with entire frankness to
the I'residet. anid also to Postinaster
(ieral .liujasin and stated to the
latter that he was at liberty to tell
you what I s:aid. Aly views would

THE IRISH P';ATO
BECOMES WAR RATION
Columbia.-"Did you cat a potato
with your breakfast?"
This is the question that the Food
Administration is asking of every per
son in South Carolina.
Hapsburg Liebs says that the home
ly Irish potato has cut, is cutting and
will continue to cut almost as great
a figure in this world war as the sub
marine.
In Germany, it is said, potatoes
have been planted even between tle
ties of railroad tracks. Potatoes have
kept the people of Germany alive.
Probably Germany wonld have caved
in oxcept for the potato.
The argumient is put forth by the
Food Administration that if the po
tato will work for Germany, it will
likewise work against Germany; and
considering that food will win the war,
there Is n oarticle of food that may
be prer".red in so many ways t.s the
potato

PEOPLE OF DIVERSE MOODS
Russians Greatly Influenced by thi
Changing Seasons, According to
Observation of Traveler.
Ruissiall landscape paintinlg, I take
it, is a study in the psychology of the
Russian people. For the fundainen
tal mood of ( the Russian landscape
is the fund:ninental mood of the Rus
511an m1a, a vast dreariness, an end
less brooding, and this imeals espe
inlly tIe goli 111d violet melallcholy
of aiutiaini, the deep, white Sadnes s
of tile leay snows. Yet the spring
madness, too, is in tile Russian.-soul,
the wildiness of yearning which the
still half-pagan Slav so violently ex
perieliees when tile snows of winter
are Il Iting and the fields are flood
ed with pools of water; when the
inky-plumaged Tavens chatter oi the
sap-lilcd branches of tile 'birches,
and one hears everywhere the ri'p
pling laughter of the zelenuyi slium.
And when, under all Italian sky, the
ripe, yellow corni and the buckwheat
wave ill the breeze, and the big
stacks of lay exhale sweet odors, and
tile steppe stretchles out like an un
dulating, goedn ocean, tile golden
siplelildor of time l uisSian sumnner is
also ill the m1(oding of the Russian
