SAVING THE PEOPLE'S MONEY There are some members of Congress who are trying to save the government's money and that means, of "ourse, the people's money. In a recent discussion Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, opposed increasing the government pay roll by adding $26,000,000 to it. He was asked if it was not inconsistent for him to oppose this increase when there had been an increase of $45.000 in an other department. The Georgia Senator very promptly replied that if to be consistent was wrong he wanted to be inconsistent. He added that the country is now confronted with a serious situation and that not a dollar should be spent by Congress except for national defence. Senator Page, of Vermont, thought he would embarrass Senator Smith by asking if the Georgia Senator was willing to commence reducing expenses by cutting his own salary ( from $7,500 to $5,000. Senator Smith said: "I am ready to contribute $2,500 of my salary or all of it, if it is required." He added to this patriotic statement this very pertinent observation: "Twenty-six million dollars is no little pittance to a national treasury and if extended on to the army and navy it woilftd be. $75,000,000, and such an addition' at this time I do not consider called for." The employees of the government in Washington are getting good salaries and if one of them should die or resign there would be a number of patriots ready to step into the va cancy. Senator Smith's slogan is, evidently, "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute." BernstortT's conduct of feigning friendship for the United States while at the same time plotting to array Mexico and Japan against hor. reminds one of the lines of ShakeI speare, "That one may smile, and smile and be a villain." An article headed "The Needs of Mexico," reminds us that Mexico needs a thrashing. Here is a new one. A fellow who was arrested with more whiskey on him than the law allows said he "got it for the itch." He evidently had an itch for a drink, nil right. THE SENATE, THE PARTY AND STONE j From The Charleston News and | Courier: | A special from Washington says: ) "Just now it looks more as if Stone | will be retained as chairman of the ' foreign relations committee than j that he will be expelled?although it is been an open secret here for 1 weeks, if not for months, that the 'resident did not feel safe in talk| ing confidentially to Stone about the t foreign problem as he did in talking I to certain other members of the com! mittee." | Much is being said, very earnestly and sincerely, in Congress and out of Congress, about the necessity of [ standing by the President in this j crisis and giving him the most loyal t co-operation. Many Senators have : been pointing out this necessity and ' many Democrats, both in public and j private life, have been doing the [same thing. But is the Senate standing by the President and giving him loyal co-operation when, as : practical matter, it takes the side of Stone against the President because it is unwilling to move against one of its own members? And is the Democratic party doing its full duty if for party reasons it fails to eject Stone from the important post which he now holds? The President cannot act on his own initiative in this matter. No one need expect Stone to eliminate himself. Those who can eliminate him should do so if they wish to do their full duty by the nation. FRANCE WOULD WELCOME AMERICA INTO THE CONFLICT Paris, March 11.?"President Wilson's declarations of American policy have been a moral refreshment to France," said Albert Thomas, minister of munitions, to the Associated Press to-day. "America comes forward toward the end of the war with the assertion of ideals, of which the European peoples, amid all the strain of combat, of hatred, of sufferings, of determination for specific national aims need to be reminded. "France has been stimulated, cheered and supported by President Wilson's messages to Congress and by his inaugural address." "What do you think are the immediate effects of the American rupture with Germany," he was asked. "The hour that America is actually in the war," replied the minister "the flow of supplies will be resumed at full tide and will increase essential credits. That is the way it would seem now." The active co-operation of the United States in submarine chasing in transport and in supply material and money would contribute enormously to shortening the war, said M. Thomas, and he added: "It would be ar inspiration for France to have an American contingent fighting on this Hide." g I I'J ' it. NOTES FROM NEW YORK 4 By J. E. H. The New York Botanical Garden holds 14,016 kinds of living plants, of which 6,000 are outdoor specimens. How many and what kind of plants are there roundabout Chesterfield? Some diligent youth might make his name famous by finding the answer to that question. He might not do as much for his town as Gilbert White did for Selborne, England, when he wrote the "Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne," but every little bit helps. * * Trinity Church owns $15,000,000 worth of tenement houses in New York. The church has made great gains since the time when the followers of Christ were content to go without purse or script. On the lasl moving day only ten families, out of the 893 that were Trinity's tenants, moved. That speaks well for the church as a landlord. * To escape service in tfy# Russian army, Norris Kaminosky cut off his big toe twelve years ado. Hp i? in a New York hosj^tal, about to L ilie.

Van, the comic actor, A is one with no other than W. W. Vandsrgrift, the dairy expert. He owns the patent of a little machine * that may revolutionize butter-making, and he and one other man own j all of the stock of a $100,000 com- ( pany which is to operate, beginning < in this community, a chain of stores < in which butter will be made while ? you wait. The machine is said to do 1 its work in from ono to four i minutes.

( "An opera score, of course," I thought. Thought wrong. It was I a seed catalogue. The poor fellow probably spends all his time in the subway, in his $00-a-month apartment of one roomlet and one kitchenet, and in the restaurant, where i he plays his fiddle, never getting any i nearer to nature than when he reads i his seed catalogue. < * * * Platinum has gone up to $95 an ounce.

The answer is, of course, "One-half cent," as anybody would realize by substituting ones for the ciphers and reading "$1.11 Mi" as "One dollar, eleven and one-half cents." New York. RECRUITING OFFICERS COMING. Charleston S. C. Editor The Advertiser: In order that the great advantage's that the United States offers to young men, Americans of good character, and recognizing the fact that the population of South Carolina is of a high order of intelligence, preponderantly native born, the Navy Department has decided to authorize a travelling and recruiting party for this State. The Department through the generosity of Congress and its own progressive policy is able to offer splendid inducements to every young man who measures up to the standards. The country needs the men, but thousands of young South Carolinians need the Navy and would be greatly benefitted by joining right now. We desire to make this campaign as thorough as possible in order to feel sure that no man in this State, through ignorance of what the Navy offers, fails to take advantage of this splendid opportunity to better himself and serve his country. It is especially to be desired that all of our people should consider the Navy "Our Navy." The best way to accomplish this is to have the mothers and fath- ' ers investigate and see for them- ' selves just what the Navy has to of- i fer. After becoming convinced that ( our claim to take their boy and benefit him financially, morally, mentally, and physically is founded on fact, they should encourage him to en- ' list. The plain facts are that there < is no family in this country who | should not feel proud to have a representative in our Navy. Patriot- i ism should begin at home. I Officer S. Heath, tho advance ( agent, was in Chesterfield last < Thursday. He will be followed on < March 20th and 21 by the recruiting < force. On these dates the recruiting i officers will occupy rooms already i provided for and will be ready to 1 accept recruits or give any informa- 1 tion to those interested. t ? | ?i K METHODIST EDUCATIONAL J CAMPAIGN TO RAISE FUNDS An educational campaign to raise Three Hundred Thousand Dollars , 'or Columbia, Lander and Wofford Colleges will actively begir^ on the irst day of April and continue '.hrough the month.

The special necesuty for this appeal arises from the fact that recently large numbers of lew children have been received to ill the buildings that have been erectid with funds from legacies left for this purpose; and from the further Fact that the well-known rise in the :ost of all articles has caused emjarassment to the treasury. The generosity of the Baptist people of South Carolina towards their orphinage is well known. They have fiven strong support in the past to ill its activities, and the future is guaranteed by the past. However; there are many who do not know of the exigency that at the present time exists, and this appeal should in /J i H ' iikv* 111 viiv 111 wi vuu bi uv; cuiiuuivii vii affairs. Connie Maxwell Orphanage has a capacity now for 300 children and is taxed to the limit. There is little doubt that the special appeal now being made to its friends and supporters will result in a response both prompt and generous. It should not be necessary to appeal frantically or desperately for the orphan child. His helpless condition should make that unnecessary. Surely the bare facts are sufficient. A Gentleman Lord Chesterfield had his own crude ideas about what a gentleman should be, but Frank Fiest, of Atchison, says a gentleman is a man who can play a cornet but won't.
