A PAIR NOT NEEDED
IN THE SENATE
It is an acknowledged fact that
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the
Republican leader in the Senate, and
Senator Reed, of Missouri one of the
leading Democrats in that body and a
very able man, are both compelled to
make a strong fight to retain their
scats in Congress. Senator Reed cannot
be charged with inconsistency in
his opposition to the League of Nations
as is alleged of Senator Lodge.
Senator Reed, who has fought President
Wilson and the League of Nations
persistently will have to make
the light. of his life this fall for the
Democratic nomination. His opponent

"As a matter of history and of record,
the politcal eminence of each of
those men rests, not upon constructive
accomplishments, not upon affirmative
achievement, hut almost entirely upon
detructive opposition to the work of
others.
"Each of these two senators is a
man of unusual and unquestioned
ability and intellectual power; but the
masses of the American people favor
constructive and creative leadership
rather than leadership predicated upon
ability to obstruct and destroy.
"That fact, coupled with the powerful

DEFENDING THE BOLL WEEVIL
It is said of a kind-hearted old lady
that she could always find some good
in everybody, even the meanest of
men. She had a good word for
old Satan, saying that he "was very
persevering." Now mines Mr. Cully
Cobb, editor of the Southern Uuralist.
who would have us believe that there
is some j*ood in the cotton growers'
pest, the boll weevil. This is tile way
Mr. Cobb pleads the cause of the boil
weevil, in a speech recently delivered
on Southern agricultural condtions,
Mr. Cobb said of the boll weevil:
"it is said that it is tin ill wind
that blows nobody t^ood. in the ease
of the boll weevil we can find much
for which he is directly and indirectly
responsible that is ^ood. Agriculture |
has made greater strides during the
past ten years than in any lifty year,
previous. Much of this progress is due
to the fact that we have had to fight
the boll weevil.
"The boll weevil has done much
toward promoting agriculture in a
manner that will result in leadership
than any other single eontributary
cause. Cotton is the nation's most im
portant crop. More business is built
arfiund it than around any other.
When the? boll weevil came to be a
menace, people who had thought little
about the problems of agriculture became
interested."
REPUBLICAN RECORD FOR
SIXTEEN MONTHS
Senator King, of Utah, it not only
a great senator, but a great Democrat.
Iteed Smoot, the other
senator from Utah, is a dyed in
the wool Republican, but Senator
King is such an able and zealous
democrat that he not only holds his
own against Senator Smoot bi>t redeems
the state that sett these two
men to the Senate.
Comparing the records of the
Democratic and Republican parties
when in charge of the government,
Senator King recently presented these
figures:
The prosperity of this country when
the democrats had contiol brought the
wealth of the United States from
$185,000,000,000 to more than $800,000,000,000.
Now, since the Republicans
have been in power, one year and
more, they have reduced the wealth
of the United States from $800,000,000,000
to perhaps $215,000,000,000
to $225,000,000,000, so Republicans
can congratulate themselves upon the
fact that they have decreased the
wealth of the United flutes from

WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington. D. C., May 22.?Probably
no President of the United Slate.has
ever had occasion to view with
dismay a greater uvun wunin iiis awn
party than thai wh'ih confronts Mr.
ilurdii;r. '1 he r ?^ult in Indiana was
-.wilier nl to give alarm, but the b'.oody
defeat ol the nmst powerful machine
in the l'n:ted State.-, that in Pennsylvania,
is. almost iray.it in its forecasts
and portents. The machine has gone
down to defeat before one of the most
pronounced leaders of the Progressive
movement of Hi 10-12, llitfurd Pinehot,
the friend of Roosevelt. Probably
in all the history of machine polities
there has never been an organizations
more unscrupulous in its methods
or more saturated with graft. On.y
a few years ago it was shown that
me ward organization in Philadelphia,
in the insolence of its power, had registered
and a voted a saloonkeeper's
bulldog, thinking, doubtless, that it
was a line jest at representative government.
Rut the bull dog cast as patriotic
a vote as the ward boss himself

loaders, in order to return certain majoriles
which they were expected to
maintain, copied names from the
tombstones in the city cemeteries in
order to t?et lists of fictitious voters.
Boss Penrose, whose last .act was to
force Hnrdinjjs' nomination, is deadIt
looks like his Pennsylvania machine
is also ready to be coflined.
The defeat of Senator New. the
President's buddy, in Indiana primaries,
lias left some sore spots. The
Vincennes Sun, a Democratic paper,
takes some pleasure in quoting what
the Vincennes Commercial had to say
about Boveridge before he was nominated.
The Commercial is a leading
Republican organ of Will 11. Hays'
neighborhood and under his influence.
Its editor charged Boveridge with bong
a "demagogue, traitor, atheist,and
mischief-making agitator." He declared
that Heveridge was the only
man he knew who had not answered
the countrys' call during the war, and
that President Wilson did not have his
support. Incidentally it appears that
Chairman Hays would not, in 1U1M, allow
a Republican campaign speaker
10 mention ('resident Wilsons' name
in his speeches. The Commercial had
a rich fold to explore, i;oiii^ so far as
to tell haw Boverid;te s hook on the
Kaiser "was used as (lerman propaganda"
until the (iovernment. threw
it out of the mails. The editor did not
tell, however, of the time when Ueveridpa'
nac^ed Senator .loe Bailey to
such a point of irritation that the
Texan slapped his face and pulled his
collar otr. VVashinjjtonians were much
| amused at the indignation of Beveridtfe's
friends at what they called a
"hrutal attack," while Boveridtte c:<cused
his non-resistenee by claiming
that Baily "never touched me." Those
familiar with the case thought Beveridce

FIRST OFFICIAL STATEMENT
OF GOVERNOR HARVEY
Columbia, May 20.?Following is
the first oilicial statement issued by
Governor Wilson G. Harvey:
"The resignation of the Hon. Robert
A.Cooper,as Governor of the Stati
to accept membership on the Federal
Farm Loan Board offered him by the
President of the United States, devolves
upon the Lieutenant Governor
the duties and responsibilities incident
to the office of Governor, and I have
therefore this day assumed the obliga- j
lions as constitutionally provided: 1
"Entering upon their discharge, 1 j
am mindful of the fact that the usual i
antagonisms resulting from conflict- <
ing politcal differences are not now 1
swaying the public mind, and that at
this peculiar period there prevails u '

harmony. ^
"It is a source of gratification to ]
nie that evidences have not been want- <
ing, that my assumption of the duties 1
is with the general approval of my fel- I
low eitiens, irrespective of class, creed
and politcal alliliutions, and with this '
feeling I enter upon my otlicial duties 1
determined to the best of my ability J
there shall be a strict and impartial
discharge of my responsibilities, spc- ^
cial favors shown to none and justice ,
to each and every one.

fronted oui people for the past several
months and the outlook of the
present day, unpreeendented in ihe
annals of our State, Call upon our citizenship
for level-headed, temperate,
careful and patriotic thought anil
ell'ort. In these distressing business
difficulties, touching every avenue of
endeavor, there is a demand for a unity
of purpose, free from dissension
and unwnrped by personal antagonisms
or intensity of feeling.
"The leaders of thought in our
State, whether they represent professional,
business, agricultural, labor
or other lines, should have as
their single purpose the alleviation
of hampering or restricting conditions,
the restoration of business
confidence and the resuming of the
normal conditions of the past. Strife
and animosity among the people will
only add to present fortunes. Woes
will not be lessened by dissention.
Happiness cannot be attained by discord.
"It must be realized that at a period
when men have become overwhelmed
with trouble and misfortune,
they naturally attribute their difficulties
to sources which in moments of
clearer thoughts would not be held
responsible, and it behooves the leaders
to impress upon such the policy
of watchful waiting until the troublous
days through which we are passing
have been bridged over and a
period of prosperity reached.

THE WORST WOMAN OF ROME.
IT IS rilllk'ult ro read Roman history
without a shudder at the cruelty of
its emperors, hut wo may well utld auother
shudder for that at Its empresses,
The worst woman Rome ever
knew was Messalinu Valeria, the wife
of Claudius. This Claudius lacked
character, lacked intelligence, lacked
everything. When he came to the
throne in the early days of the Christian
era it was a woman who really
ruled, and that woman was Messaliua.
She seems to have had little consideration
for Claudius, and did as she
pleased, boldly, iier excesses shocked
even Roman society, which had fallen
away from the stern days when the
Roman lived austerely, and had entered
upon all the soft ways of the
East. Women were afraid to attend
ii hatapiet where Messallna was pres.
[*nt unless their husband* he snatched
a way from them. If they caught her
fancy. And it was whispered that
many men whom she favored In the
i-vening were murdered In the morning.

McssaI Ilia's tuste varied from the
Orst men in the stute to the lowest. A
dove, a gladiator, u trainer of animals
for the arena, might catch her
ye and he raised to sudden greatness,
loaded with gold, handsomely housed
ind plied with rare wines. Then, in a
"ew days, they disappeared, none knew
vhere.
At last Messnllna's heart turned to

The rage of Messnllnn may he liniglned,
and this opposition also put a

letermlned upon a trip to Ostln, leavng
Messallna In Home. Here was
icr opportunity. She took It, coinailing
Silius to divorce his wife,

of marriage with Sillus, although
he already was married to the emcror.
