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."

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. His right leg has been cut olT?(
above the knee. Which takes the t
more courage, to cut off a toe and
lose a leg and maybe life, in avoid- j
anee of duty, or to obey the call of t
duty? j
Billy B. 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. I

"Rum," says Rnhbi Wise, "is a I
blessing only for the idle rich, for 1
the extinction of their kind, and as t
a means to make their perpetuatior 1
impossible." The rabbi might have j
recommended gin, brandy, whisky, !
as well as rum, for the idle rich are i
notoriously ionrt of variety. j

Noiso is so much a part of the i
life of a New Yorker that when he I
moves to a quieter place, such as I
New Jersey, he feels as if the world I
were out of joint. The silences of i
New Jersey have been shattered often ]
of late, however, by explosions in
munition factories. Hut Jerseyites <
are unlike Manattunites if reports l
from across the river are true. It is <
said that when the powder plants are i
peaceful the inhabitants are startled <
and annoyed by the cackling of hens. |
Saw a musicianly chap poring over I
a paperback book in the subway. (
"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

Man learns but little here below,
nor knows that little long. A middle-aged
Manhattanite was asked to
read: "$0.00'A " Th;? ;u iw,?, v,..
read it: "A half mill." 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."

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

:ONNIE MAXWELL ORPHANAGE
Connie Maxwell Orphanage, now
lbout ready to celebrate its quarto:entenary,
is just now making spe:ial
appeal to its constituency for
mlarged gifts. 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

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.

Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel up
corns or calluses so they . .
lift off with fingers.
Ouch !?!?!! This kind of rou^h
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few
irops of a drug called freezone when
applied to a tender, aching corn or
lardened callus stops soreness at
>nce, and soon the corn or callus
iries up and lifts right off without
aain.
He says freezone dries immediately
?nd never inflames or even irritates
he surrounding skin. A small bottle
>f frezone will cost very little at any
Irug store, but will positively remove
*very hard or soft corn or callus from

women will welcome this announce*
nent since the inauguration of high

Reunion of grey
TO BE BIG EVENT
Washington, March 11.?Arrangements
are in progress for caring for
a hundred and fifty thousand visitors
to Washington during the week of
June 4, when the United Confederate
Veterans hold their first reunion
north of the Potomac river, it was announced
here to-night.
Robert N. Harper and Harry F.

in a statement Baid the reunion
had assumed the character of
a national event, voluntary contributions
having come from persons in
all parts of the country.
"The whole country has capitulated
to the thinning ranks of gray," the
statement said, "and when the Southern
veterans swing along Pennsylvania
avenue Union veterans will
stand along the way and cheer them.
"The gatherig will not be of merely
sectional interest, but of broad national

National Congress has interested itself
and provided $11,000 to be contributed
to the fund for the entertainment
of the veterans, and the Postoffice
Department will commemorate
the reunion by using special cancelling

humlreds of flags, tents, camp supplies
and accessories and the Red
Cross will be on hand wherever needed,

KINDERGARTEN WORK GROWS
jrvey Made by Unele 8am Shews 1
Rapid Extenalon of Thia Feature j
of Publio Schools.
Approximately 670 kindergartens j
were opened last year In public schools
that never had them before, according 1
to a recently completed survey by Uncle
Sam's bureau of education. "This
means one extra year of education for
about 25,000 children," the bureau reports,
"and as the boys and girls of
this country average only a little over
five years In school, the value of this
additional training cannot be overes- I
tlmated.
"A number of schools have shown In
creuses which are noteworthy. Call- H
fornln stands out particularly for hav- U
lng reported 01 additional klndergar- B
tens In 25 different cities and tnwn? B
Montana has also made a stride for- M
Ward by changing, in one year, its rec- I
<>rd of six kindergartens in one city to
31 kindergartens in six cities. H
"Pasadena, Cai., with a population B
of 30,000, conducts 15 kindergartens. fl
It tins had a kindergarten connected
with each of its elementary schools for
years, and is thoroughly committed to fP
this department of education, believing
it to he the most Important single
phase In all elementary work. Kansas
City, Mo., having a population of 248,000,
conducts 77 kindergartens, opening
additional ones Just as fast as there Is !
a demand for them.
"Many of the kindergartens opened
for the first time in 1910 were secured
as n result of petitions signed by parents.
It Is estimated thnt at least $100,000
was spent by school hoards last
year for classes started in this way.
This has proved such a successful M
method of extending the movement that H
In a number of states, including Kansns,
Maine, New York, Oregon, Utah ?
and Texfts, hills have been introduced
In the strife legislatures providing for
ihe establishment of kindergartens on
petition of parent*."
