In the life of a newpaper edi-
tor it is frequently the case that
he is called upon suddenly to
give an expression with regard
to a matter of public concern,
aud therefore his only resource
is his memory. Our readers will
remember that in the issue of
The TINES of January 9th, we
published a scattering letter
from Senator B. R. Tillman, and
in our reply to same we said
the General Assembly appoint
ed a committee to visit the office
of the whiskey concern to inves-
tigate the transactions had with
Governor Tillman. This COM
mittee was denied the books and
they had to report their failure. y
In making this statement we
did not have the record before
US and therefore relied upon
memory, but on last Thursday
while in Columbia in attendance
upon the meeting of the State
Democratic executive commit
tee, we had a talk with a gentle
man who is conversant with all
of the facts to the minutest de-
tails and from him we learned
that our statement was not al
together correct, notwithstand-
ing this, we were correct in the
essential features of it, but we
desire to keep the record abso-
lutely straight so that no one can
find excuse to charge US with
garbling to suit our purpose.
This gentleman says that,instead
of the committee being appoint
ed by the General Assembly, the
committee who went to Cincinnati
was appointed by the State Board
of Control and was composed Of
Hon. L. J. Williams of Edgefeld,
a member of the board, and Hon.
Frank H. Weston, a member of
the committee appointed by the
legislature to investigate the af-
fairs of the dispensary; that
these gentlemen went to Cincin-
natl and were denied the privi-
lege of examining the books, and
the concern also refusing to sub
ject itself to an oral examination
whereby stenographic reports of
the testimony could be taken.
Our object in making this cor
rection is, first, to be absolutely
fair: and second, we feel it is
our duty whenever we find that
we are in error, even in an unim-
portant part Of statement, to
correct same and keep the re.
cord perfectly straight. 1t will
thus be seen that while we were
mistaken as to what authority
appointed this investigating com
mittee. we were correct that a

the primary they would tear
down the whole political struct-
ure to accomplish a temporary
advantage. The politicians claim
that McLaurin is not a Democrat,
but he says he is. They claim
that McLaurin is not represent
ing the views of his constituents,
but he says, their interest and
views. How is the difference to
be settled unless he has an op-
portunity to go before the people
to explain his status in the Dem
ocratic party and the views ad-
vocated by him. We cannot
think the people of South Caro-
lima are willing to convict q mai
on the sole testimony Of his op-
ponents without giving him a
hearing in his defense. They
say McLaurin is not a Democrat:
we think the people should oe
the Judges of that matter and
not the politicians who are after
his seat. The solicitor in court
often says ''William Jones, alias
Billy Jones is guilty of the crime
charged, but the jury have heard
the evidence and found a verdict
of not guilty, because the show
ing made by the prosecution
would not warrant conviction,
and thus it is with McLaurin's
case: the politicians say he is
not a Democrat, but when he is
heard in his own defense the
people who will be the jury may
render a different verdict.
Our position has been misun-
derstood by some. We have
never said we would vote for
McLaurin or Latimer or Hemp
hill or Henderson, and our en-
tire fight from the beginning OF
the contest has been for fair
play. We do not know as yet
who we will vote for: we want
| to hear all of the candidates, and
after having heard them we will
then support in these columns
the man who, in our judgment,
will do the people the most good,
but we do not want to be de-
prived of the privilege of getting
the views of these men by the
manipulations of politicians. Il
in our judgment John L. McLau'
rim has proven that he is Dem
ocrat and that he has not sold
his vote for federal patronage,
as he was charged with doing,
and that he is in position to help
US more than the others he will
be entitled to our support, but
if the others prove that McLau-
rim is not a Democrat and that
he sold his vote for federal pat
ronage or anything else, we will
not insult our readers by sup
porting him or even voting for
him. We are a Democrat first,
last and all the time, but we can
only trust the people to measure
the standard Of our democracy
and not the politicians, for, as a
rule, the politicians have no po-
litical principles, they are after
Office and make issues to win;
if they can find an issue to
arouse prejudice, that plays
squarely into their hands and
they work it for all it is worth;
when they pcate of political
principles it is like 1he sancti-
monious hypocrite preaching
salvation.

when the time comes to vote we

pledge necessary is the one we
have always had-To ABIDE THE

views and candidates are not
adopted or endorsed by the ma

right to do their own thinking

same time they also promise to
submit to the decision of the ma
jority. We have no reason to
doubt these men, because they
have always stood Loyalty to the
party; they have never deserted
it, they have never attempted to
split the party, but on the other
hand many of them were among
the minority prior to the action
of the convention or primaries,

spoke they submitted and joined

Hog raising in the Rocky noun

his hogs in this climate he can

The Choicest Varieties Can Be Pro-

"The ideal country for hogs is
in the Rocky Mountain country
and the high, dry plains in their
vicinity" said prominent packer
from Chicago the other day, while
discussing the hog proposition
with an eastern farmer. The
speaker went on to give his roa-
sons for the statement and they
were based upon investigation.
The acknowledged best hogs in the
market come from Canada and they
are produced under conditions
very similar to those that can be
found in the mountains OF the
West. The ideal climate to pro-
duce hogs is one where the days
are bright and warm and the nights
cool and dry. Such climate pro-
duces a more even distribution of
fat and meat which goes to make
tho ideal bacon variety of hog.

Politicalissues are rather mixed
in Colorado this year. The repub-
lican state platform urges voters to
support all the amendments except
the Bucklin Tax; but the republi-
can press generally is fighting all
the amendments The democratic
state platform endorses all the
amendments, but the democratic
papers are trying TO defeat some of
them. We believe they are both
about right. That is, some of the
amendments ought to win and
some ought to be buried on elec-
tion day. Especially should the
latter fate meet the biennial cleo
tion amendment. The clause in
this amendment making the term
of county commissioners four
years ought to defeat it alone.
Who wants to be afflicted with an
incompetent official for four years?
There has been instances when
the people would have been glad
to make a change after the first
year. If a commissioner proves
to be competent and worthy it
will be no trouble to reflect him
at the end of three years. AS to
having an election every other
year in order to save expenses, We
believe the orignators of such q
law had a very immsture idea of
economy. There are many other
ways Of saving expenses which are
far more practicable and not so
revolutionary in their character as
this. The biennial election
amendment should be defeated.

THE CAUSE OF THE STRIKE.

The CAUSE Ok Ih6 SI61A2.
The great strike which has been
in progress for over six months in
the anthracite mining regions OF
Pennsylvania is just now attract
ing more attention than the fall
elections. The reason for this is
not SO much the interest the
general public takes in the
miners or the mine operators, as
the public's own interest in secur-
ing its winters fuel. Owing to
the long protracted strike the
scarcity of fuel in the eastern cit
les is getting to be matter of SER
ious consideration and unless
something is done soon to settle
the strike and resume mining
operations much suffering will be
experienced.
The situation is 80 serious that
President Roosevelt has taken it
upon himself to bring the oppos-
ing parties together and end the
strike, but SO far with no hope of
success owing to the obstinacy and
independent attitude assumed by
the operators. Notwithstanding
Its Importance very few people out
side of those Immediately inter-
ested have taken the trouble to
find out what the strike is for,
many actually believing that the
miners demand is unjust, and that
they are merely making a play for
unreasonable wages.
Briefly stated the miners are
striking for:
l. An increase in wages for
men employed on piecework.
2. A reduction in hours of
labor for men employed by the
day.
3. Payment for legal ton of
coal.
4. That coal shall be honestly
weighed and correctly recorded.
In explanation of these demands,
the following summary is offered:
The average earnings of anthra-
cite mine workers are less than
$500 year each. In 1900 for 1901
wages were raised 10 per cent.
Meanwhile cost of living has
increased 30 to 40 per cent.
A days work in the bituminous
mines is eight hours. In the
anthracite mines it is ten hours or
more.
A legal ton Of coal at the pit
mouth is 2.240 pounds. The men
claim that they are compelled to
to deliver from 2.7OO to 3.4OO
pounds, and even then are often
''docked. The trust claims that
this excess of AGO to l,16O pounds
and the subsequent "dockage" are
necessary to compensate for waste
which the men should leave under
ground. The men claim that they
send up no such amount OF waste.
The men claim that they are
often cheated in weighing the coal
and in recording the weights.
The trust denies the charge. But
when the men ask for check weigh
men Of their own choosing, to be
paid by themselves, the trust
refuses to grant the request.
