HBARM C Kdttor and Publisher. _ GOOD BYE, BROTHER HUGHES! * Guess the New York Tribune ^ wishes now it had not said it. a Hut it is too late, Old Trib, its a down in black and white and t very black for Hughes. r Just before the meeting of the c Republican Convention the Tribf une printed an editorial from ^ which we extract these para- ? graphs: % 1 "Mr. Hughes has been desig- \ uated by the hyphens as their agent to punish Mr. Wilson for * his partial refusal to comply J with Potsdam orders. No German - American has made 1 the smallest concealment of the ' purpose of the hyphens to use Mr. Hughes to euforco German ; wishes at Washington. "Such being the case there are 1 thousands and thousands of 1 Americans who will see no greater duty than to stand by the president of the United States, 1 assailed by alien influence be- I cause of his defense of American 1 rights. 1 "No words of Mr.Hughes after nomination can in the .smallest degree remove the impression that will prevail that he was willing to win the nomination by hyphen aid, and that his silence, his retreat behind the supreme court bench, was a deliberate attempt to tret for hi m aul f vr?t.??? and support that might be repulsed if he said before nomination what he will have to say after it. "The Tribune does not believe that the people of the United States will turn from Mr. Wilson to a republican candidate who has not only followed the course which has earned Mr. Wilson just censure among patriotic Americans, but has also permitted himself to be used as the club of disloyal and treasonable citizens." The hyphens referred to by the Tribune are those Germans in America who want to see their: native country succeed in the? great contest and are willing to sacrifice America to insure success to the Kaiser. The Tribune closed the editorial in this prophetic, and positive language: j "If the republican national* A A , ^ I j tun vtrnuoii <iccepis uie lierman-f American candidate and Mr.J Hughes consents to be the Ger-| man-American candidate evenfor purposes of obtaining the republican nomination, Woodrow Wilson will be re elected." FACTIONALISM DEAD The opening meetings of the Democratic campaign lead one to believe that the voters of this 1 State have passed the stage when they can be swayed solely by 1 their passions. This new and desirable state ( of affairs may be accounted for ( to some extent, at least, by the \ great advancement in education- 1 al advantages now being attained j by the State. However, we believe that be- 1 neath the calm demeanor of the crowds who ponder quietly upon the words of the various candidates, is the same spirit that in ' 1776 hurled defiance in the face of a puppet King George III? ' the same spirit that in 1861 caus- * ed our brave people to protest in ' no uncertain terms against what * was considered a violation of our 1 rights as a soveriegn State. t It is a safe assertion that reasDn will rule in this contest and 0 that the spirit of justice and lib- e erty that actuated the South Ca- 0 rolina patriots of old is burning 8 Hlill to day and no puppet poli- 11 tician will be able, by an appeal e to passion, conquer or subvert a this spirit. v An enlightened patriotic spirit, ? controlled by reason, will control 11 ihe destinies of South Carolina n this election. The Atlanta Constitution has a in editorial advising its readers p ,o learn to swim but it neglects n o add Uw? advice of the old lady 'p o ber Aighter: j h ilauflR i.ui' clot ox unt l|fck<>ry By P. A. M '.ditor The Advertiser: ]1 In view of the letter of 4'A Ihesterfield County Woman", 1 ' rould like to add a few words to 1 'hat I've already said.* 1 The advocate ??f Woman's Sufrage discreetly dodges the issue, ? ? 1 i?: "Mi? i o iiu vncic u?iug any oiuncai uthority for equal suffrage. In he earlier history of the movenentl some said : "Oh that part if the Bible does not apply to louditions today. It is to oklashioned." Some of the lead?rs realized the folly of such itatemeuts, and those thoughtess ones were quickly hushed ip. They would make much of the !aict that St . Paul was a bacheor, (>ou see how hard they try ;o get around his utterance), but [.here is one fact they can't lodge, no matter how hard they try, and that is even though St. Baul was a bachelor, he was an inspired (bold face mine) man, ind for this reason alone, is entitled to more weight, than any )l the authorities yet cited. I here re-iterate the statement that while men have progressed morally in the past few decades, women have deteriorated. 1 again assert that a man has to be a much better man today in every respect, than ever before in history, before he can be classed as a gentleman, while the girls of today say things and do things their good mothers would never have dreamed of doing. One illustration, why do so many women of today, (reputed good, and supposedly above reproach), deliberately dress in such a way as to arouse the worst in man? Il6V. Hilly Sunday, preaching to a Philadelphia congregation, among other things said, (substantially), "The way some of you women dress, a man can't look at you without having evil thoughts.'' There are many other illustrations but space is limited. As to there being no plane in the Woman's Kqual Suffrage League for the social butterfly, etc., 1 wish to say that 1 was much amused in reading the New York papers in reference to the "Suffrage Hike" from New York to Washington. In that "hike", (a lot of them wearing bloomers) were some of the most prominent social leaders and social butterflies in the Country, and they stand Ace high in the suffrage movement. Women who have drunk the cup pleasure to its bitter dregs, and tirii.g of cards and poodle dogs, have taken on a new hobby. How many real wives and mothers do you find among the leaders of the movement? (1 do not refer to the woman who has merely borne children, but the real ideal mother). Take the list in hlllkl pAlinf fTT Ck /I 1/ rv/1 - - - d VIMO V7V/U uvijr ?IIU I'vllf^iailU, read it, investigate and see for yourBelt. Yon will find that the large majority either have no children, neglect their children, >r else are so old that their children have grown up, and there is nothing to interest them at lioine. The true mother is too interested and busy looking af er the welfare of her home, the levelopment and rearing of her children, (And it is a labot of ove), to hike to Wasnington in bloomers. As to the banner Baby States inder Woman's Suffrage, do not/ sxult yet, give them a chance J it might not 8howupin a generaion, but look to the next, for it night take a generation or two o undo God's handiwork. nu ' i e i~n i. -? 1 lit* IIU-?C>III?ie , OX 11 eessiiy crush her womanly modsiy, the finer and more delicate f her womanly feeling, when he lowers herself to the plane of 1 nan, and puts herself upon an quality with him in political lid business affairs, and this j /ill of necessity crush the moth-1 r instinct, and will if you give | t time. Quoting from "A Chesterfield lounty Woman's" latter: "The 'Oman's club is the instrument, nd symbol of woman's new < lace. In her New place (bold face line), woman must face trie/ rohlems of home cleaning amy ouse enlargement-" I wonjM that if she was the ric^fc iad of gjte would iuflL men Vote? 1 array, Jr. faced these problems long since, before the "woman's club" same into existence. I here re iterate, that if the men of today are not all that they should be, then if the mothers of today will take mere interest in the proper rearing and development of their children, then the next generation will be men indeed, and woman will have no caupe to kick. Again quoting from the letter: "The great motive back of the Womans Suffrage League is to improve the conditions in the home by educating the children fn Kntfa- ? ' vv ?vwi*iv IIUUIC IIlllKCrB and better citizens." Why that is already woman's duty. If she is shirking that duty, then she is not a good wife and mother. In other words as I see it, it is already the duty of the mother to educate the children to become better home makers and better citizens, but the Womans Sufi rage League, recognizing this, demand the ball??t before they will perform an existing duty. Queer doctrine that. As to Woman's "new place", I wonder what that is? I knew that she was, or was supposed tc be, the Qeon of the Home, the inspiration and help-meet of hei mate, and the mother of hischil dren, but was not aware of hei "new place". As to Roosevelt as an authori ty, 1 will merely call attentior to the fact that Teddy's mind changes with the wind. As t< President Wilson, I dont know but he is only human, and at th< time the Presidency was loom ing up before him, (And then were a good many women voter: in the Roosevelt States wht were not deeply attached to th< wielder of the "Big Stick"), anc it might have been that his ey< was upon the future, and his ea upon the groundAs to Bryan, take from hin the gift of gab, and his self advertisement, and there will b< nothing left. (This is the con sensus of opinion of some of th< best newspaper men in the coun try and is entitled to weight.) "A Chesterfield County Wo man" cite6 a long list of others none of whom are especially brilliant, and who have occupiec but small places in the destiny of the nation. Teddv and Wnmlrnw. loivncni ing Woman's Suffrage, would b< offset by Ilenry Cabot Lodg< and Elihu Knot, two of the great est minds, and ablest states men of the day, and of man] Jays in fact, who both bitterl] oppose it. As to the Methodist Episcopa Church at its, (I believe it ii conference, instead of coven tion), going on record as favoring "Woman's Suffrage", I hard ly know what to say. Some times politics will creep int< church matters in spite of every thing. Anyway it was the Northern branch of the Methodist Church, and a number of itf leaders, and most able men, (s< I am informed), advocated divorce, while the majority of the people of this State are against it, so that I do not see that this conference's advocacy of either divorce or suffrage for women, would have any influence here. If we could weigh and determine the motive moving those men to 8ign the declaration, we would indeed he enlightened. You see some m>?n are horn "Suffragette", (I hate to say this, but it is true); Others acquire "suffregettism", from many different motives; while others have Woman's Suffrage thrust upon them, by a better half who wears the pants. Now as to the primalies being so wicked and corrupt, etc., how in the name of goodness will woman improve it? . That reminds me of a poem I've read about an angel who looked down out of Heaven upon the Devil. She saw that he was fair, and attractive, and felt it a pity that such /a one shonld remain in heliy Thereupon she called to the/ Devil, and asked nim to came up into heaven. The wily lj>evil told the angel that he was unable to climb up to heaven by his own efforts, but that he would go to heaven if she would tlt-scQtid uito he 1 land help| ec^^^^^^^^P^^hell, the cl arms around m h?r, and Pff her that when a fa woman once entered hell, she di belonged to the Devil always. N 80, when woman enters poli- w tics, thinking to rid it of corrup- s* tion, etc., sho is putting herself 01 in the place of the angel, that is, 4,< instead of raising the thing to 8' her levt 1, she will be carried ^1 down to its level. The good wo- *>1 men will vote with the good ^ rner., the had women with the oaa men, and the proportion of e' the vote is not changed. r] As to South Carolina's illiteracy I think it unfair to refer to ^ that. It id deplorable, of course, 11 but I cant help but dislike hav- ? ing it referred to in this way, or 11 in comparison to some of the * rich Northern or Western States, I * who have never gone through 8 the hell of re-construction. lsle there any wonder that there is } some llleracy in this State in 1 this generation, when it has N been but a few years since the 6 South was devastated by one of ( i the most cruel conflicts in his- 1 ; tory; when its riches were 8 i ruthlessly torn from its grasp, ' /and without compensation; when a number of its cities and vil- ' lages were sacked and burned; 1 , when the State was left in pov- 1 , erty and ruins, and I he negro 1 , and carpet-bagger were placed ' . in power; and when the most of 1 our people, were forced to take r up the most humble and hurculean tasks to secure the bare necessities of life? Each year since that conflict, the State has \ 1 I marched upward and onward, in ^ literacy among other t hings, in spite of the handicaps under ^ which she labored. There will be no illiteracy in the coming generation for compulsory edus caiion is coming in spite of ^ everything. If you would speak of che illiteracy of vonr State in j tones of horror or mortification, 5 look back over the record, com" pare the literacy of this generation with the past, and with the i generation before that, and you will be proud of the progress South Carolina has made. Is "m this generation of men responsible for the illiteracy that exists? [ No, then what are the women kicking about, for the men are u juifc everytmiig under neaven to rid us of this evil, and how in the name of goodness can woj j man do it? One more question here, who is responsible lor the progress South Carolina has made? ^ 1 understand that the woman's s Suffrage League has adopted the . slogan: "Give woman a man's . rights." Very good, let us study 7 that for a moment, using Engj land, at present at war, as an illustration. So many men have j been lost, that when the w?r is i over, England will confront a . serious problem, in that the wo. men will greatly out-number tin . men. Regardless of what may ; SAVES DAUGHTER .
