sources and advantages and tho pos,
sibilities Of South Carolina displayed,
but thero is hardly section of the
whole country which is not repre-.
sented in the picture. Volumes writ
ten upon America's history and South

their fullness and simplicity the les

ton.
l would urgo upon every citizen of
South Carolina his duty in this mat
ter. The exposition is worthy of
your support and you should give
that support by your attendance, for
upon this it's success depends.
by all means South Carolina day
at the Charleston exposition should
be made the occasion Of the largest
attendance during it's progress, and
that attendance should be such as to
make the people of Charleston foel
that their efforts for the benefit of
the people of South Carolina and tho
upbuilding of the State ore recog
nized and appreciated.

THE CHILD LABOR BILL.
Representative Banks Giyos His Rensons
For Oppoting the Esill.
Governor.

Editor Herald and News.
I do not desire, nor will | enter
into a controversy involving child
labor Legislation, or indeed labor
Legislation of any kind The less
agitation we have Of this sort tho
better for the country. But there is
so much real or apparent sympathy
manifested, both in desultory con.
versation and in public print, direct
ly or indirectly incriminating the
motives or sentiments of those who
are conscientiously opposed to such
Legislation, that for myself | desire
to make public some of the reasons
why am opposed to such legislu
ton.
will begin by admitting TINT 1
am one of the cold fogies" of South
Carolina and do not blush at the sy
nonym. While l do not wish to say
anything in derogation of the pro-
gressive spirit of our Now England
neighbora, or OF the OWL, social and
industrial organizations Of the coun
tries of Europe, yet feel it incum.
bent upon me, as III humble citizen
OF my native State, to say something
in defense of the unique poaition
which she has always occupied as
one of the States of this great union
of states.
She has uniformly cherished a
strong attachment to the principles
of liberty. In this she has been
apparently instinctive]y persistent.
In defense of these principles she
has always shown her Willingness to
make any necessary sacrifice. It is
needless to enumerate the instances
in which she has done this-it is q
matter of history.
Now, why should those who appose
with all their power that which ap.
pears to them blemish on her fair
record and IN encroachment on the
liberty for love of which she has
sacrificed 80 much be accused OF
wanting the common feelings of hu,
manity have been in factories and
have seen the little ones, barefoot
and scantily clad, working in the
various departments and have felt
pangs of sorrow and sympathy move
my heart. But that sorrow was as
much for the poor old mother who
was there, too, working in tho same
condition as the children, whose ne
cessities compelled her to have them
there with her | am willing tc
credit all parents with the same
anxiety for and care of their chill
dren which I have for my own. This
is an instructive principle which Coo
himself has implanted, even in tn,

rule are men below the brute ant
should be legislated out Of existence
by proper amendment Of the vagran
laws of the State Why should
or any one else, feel willing to hell
enact humiliating Legislation upon
respectable class of citizens whlcl
we would not be willing to submit t
ourselves. Besides, as it app :ars t
me, we are attempting to mine tn
. very foundation of civil liberty

such legislation will end? Who OF

what sho has always boen-tho con
servator of the liberties of our coun-
try3
Again, we arc but just entering
upon caroor of prosperity unoxam-
plod in tho worlds history. Why
should we, after witnessing the fn-
tile efforts Of other SECTIONS to regu
late labor by various expedionts, put
an obstacle i'll the way Of this pro-
gross by putting blow upon on
TINS tho entering wedge of irritation
and discontentY Rocont occurrences
IN the capital Of this State should be
an object less to some people. Such
confusion and collision did not re-
ceive it's inspiration from any sn
conragement i'll the laws or usages
OF our own State. But tho advo
Gates OF this measure say it is com
ing. The day Of Judgment may be
coming, but how many are willing to
holp it onP Tho truth, as | 500 it,
ls that all the trouble which is trying
to be "vertod both by Legislation and
organization originate in and from
conditions which both will rather
tond to aggravate than pallate.
They will rather tend to hasten than
delay the final conflict, which seems
to be inevitable. 1t would require
national Legislation Of an extremely
drastic nature to stavo off indeiinite-
ly the eliminating influences which
seem to be leading on to this con-
flict, and such Legislation existing
conditions will never permit.
L cannot imagine why any factory
operative should ask for this legisla-
ton. 1t is certainly their right to
keep their children out of the facto
ries if they 40 elect and are able to
do 80. l have never heard of any
effort being made to coerce tbem
If any such effort has boon or is be-
ing made, 1T suggests forcibly whore
Legislation is needed. do not think
that in 80 many words those good
people Of tho factory would say
to us: Come, tell us how to treat
and take care of our children; we are
not able--have not sonse enough.
Yet such is the import of the pro-
posed Legislation. | am inclined to
think that many who are asking this
Legislation do not know exactly what
they are asking it for.
In conclusion | desire to say that
az Tar as sympathy for the poor of
our country is concerned, my own
condition suggests that I should feel
that sympathy M much ns most
othors. L am poor man myself
and it requires tho united efforts of
myself and family in order to nc
| qulre an honest and honorable sup.
port. l do not, however, desire such
Legislation as is proposed for myself,
nor do [ wish to impose it upon
| others.
Further, I do not intend, by any
thing l have written, to impugn tho
motives Of those opposed to my
views, but am willing to believe that
they arc equally sincere with my
self. I do not know what is popu-
lar on this question, nor do | care.
l Was sworn as representative in
part Of the citizens Of my State to do
my duty to the best Of my ability,
and that duty | feel that / have con
scientiously performed. If my course
does not please my constituency,
thank God that in this still free coun.
try they have the privilege of send
ing suoh mon to represent them as
will carry out their will in this as in
all other things. JNo. Il. BANKS.

THE AMERICAN FORESTS DlsAP.
PEARlNG.

Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural
department, sounds a warning as to
the rapid destruction of the great
American forests. The northern pine
region is already largely denuded. 1t
is most pitiable spectacle to travel
on the cars of the Wisconsin Central
as far as Wolf river and beyond to
Waupaca and there witness the stump
age, the mute evidence of slaughter
ed trees In many cases the ground is
unfit for cultivation, but the trees, lit
tie and big, have been destroyed. Mil
lions of feet of lumber have been sent to
market at an apparent profit, and so it
seemed at the time, but the country
has been made as desolate as Pales.
tine.
1t was thought few years ago that
the great pine forests of the south
were inexhaustible. Soldiers of the
north who marched through the south
ern states and saw the vast acreage OF
pine trees could scarcely conceive of a
time when these trees would be chop
ped down and sent to the saw mills
But the southern pines are rapidly
disappearing, and as they go, so does
the climate change, and there is not
near the amount of rainfall that pre-
vailed before.
Mr.. Wilson is justly alarmed ovel
the situation and advises measures
that will at least partially restore the
forests or preserve the young trees
so that they may grow to future useful
ness

ever, in order to make this campaign
for clean streets and alleys success,
the city authorities mus thave the ac-
tive cooperation of individuals in
cleaning up their own property"
This statement from Mayor Picker
will be gladly read by all interest
ed in identifying the city and putting
the streets and alleys of Ottumwa in
a clean and wholesome condition.
There is entirely too much tendency
on the part of the individual to shirk
and neglect his personal duty in the
matter. If the individual citizen will
not do his part, any effort on the part
of the authorities must fall short of
the desired result. The citizens of OF
tumwa should be actuated by civic
pride that will prevent the dumping
of refuse into the street, the accumu
lation of filth and manure in the alleys
and the placing of ash barrels and 9th
er refuse on public thoroughfares.

PLANT TREES.

In a recent number of the Conser-
vative, of Nebraska City, was printed
a representation of an ideal tree, with
broad and spreading branches, just
such tree as the worshipper of ma
ture loves. 1t was tree too, that j.
Sterling Morton loved, and he would
not have had a tree butcher to touch
that tree for any reasonable amount
Of money.
The picture Of the tree is attractive,
and yet we can imagine what the tree
butchers and vandals would do with it
if they had a chance. They would
train it,they would trim it; they would
make it a tree after their own distort-
ed notions and after it had held up its
arms appealing to the heavens against
the sacrilege, there would sprouts ap-
pear as if to cover up the nakedness.
A tree seldom requires trimming OF
cutting. When dead limbs show they
should be cut off, but a tree will show
it's beauty best in its splendid attempt
to cover up deformities.
Morton's appeal to plant trees
should be supplemented by another:
Let the trees grow as nature inclines
them to grow. The most deformed
trees that have been left to nature are
infinitely better than those trees that
are doctored by quacks.

TO AID FARMERS IN FAR WEST.

Hon. John F. Lacey, representative
from the sixth congressional district,
on April 80, the anniversary of the day
on which he gained his greatest dis
tinction as an officer and a soldier, in
troduced bill in congress which is
aimed directly against the alleged beef
combine and at the owners of large
herds of live stock. The bill is design
led to grant grazing privileges to home
stead settlers in the arid and semi-arid
regions. 1t proposes to give to the
homesteaders an opportunity to i'm
prove and protect the grass upon the
public domain in the vicinity of their
holdings. 1t will prevent owners of
large herds Of live stock from monop-
olizing the ranges.
1t is not only possible but very prob
able that the class Of men most affect
ed by this wise proposed legislation
want nothing better than Mr.. Lacey's
bill.

THE EXPOSITION POSTPONED.

1t is at last officially announced that
the worlds fair at st. Louis has been
postponed until 1904. There are var
ious reasons assigned, one of which
is that the old world countries could
not get ready in time for next year.
There is one potent cause for discour-
agement that has been operating from
the time the exposition was first an
nounced: 1t has been the thought
that such expositions as the Chicago
affair and the proposed one at st.
Louis should not be placed close to-
gether. The Chicago exposition full
filled the most ardent hopes of its pro-
moters. 1t was, indeed, world af,
fair, and the person who went through
it, carefully,acquired such knowledge
OF. the world, it's people and products
as would have requireda year or more
of travel and close observation under
ordinary circumstances. There have
been no great changes since the Chi
cago fair. There have been minor ex-
hibitions that were pigmy reproduc-
tons Of the great original and they
have tended to strengthen the popular
impression that all was seen at Chi
cago that was worth seeing These
are the thoughts oL tue pupiS anu tHe
management at st. Louis have been
impressed to some extent by public
opinion and one year more of prepare
ton, it is believed, will give time for
the introduction Of new features that
will add to the attractiveness Of the
fair.
There can certainly be no harm
done by the postponement and the
chances are that great good will re.
