This paper has not infrequently urg-
ed that the city streets be kept clean,
weeds cut down, residence fences In line
and properly picketed and the lawns
and front yards at least free from rub
bish. We urge this, not merely that
our eyes may be spared the unsightli-
ness of carelessness and Incidence, but
rather for the good effect in our own
lives and in the education of the hun
dreds of students who come to us each
winter. Pleasant surroundings bring
pleasant thoughts and order and clean
illness has fully as much effect on the
education and morality as the sermon
izing of scores Of professors and minis
tiers. There is a natural disposition on
the part of all TO want to be in har-
mony with the surroundings, and when
cleanliness. order, and beauty Is met
on every hand, a desire to make the
life conform is born Immediately. It's
like ones dressing up on Sunday,
the exterior presents pleasing APP
pearance, and even though man be
far down the scale, that pleasing ex-
terror is father of desire to make the
interior little more presentable. Lo-
gan wants to pose as college town,
the "Athens of Utan," and this Is a
laudable ambition, but this very pose
brings added responsibilities and
makes the city an instructor in one of
the departments Of education. The
city cannot teach by precept Of course,
but 1t can teach by example and 1t
should set the example Of orderlness
and cleanliness.

1t is stated that plants and shrubs
have been dug from various graves in
the city burial ground on the college
hill. This has been done not only once
but frequently, II our informant S
knowledge Is accurate. Such vandal-
ism is a shameful outrage and a dis
grace that should worry the author OF
it into his last resting place. A person
guilty of robbing grave of the
adornments placed upon 1t by loving
hands and possibly covered with tears
wrung from the soul in the hearts
deepest anguish, is guilty of crime
hardly less despicable in its nature
than that committed by him who robs
a home OF its purity.

Maryland Is another state which
has declared for Roosevelt's nomina-
tion in 1904. Every state which has
held a convention to nominate any
sort of officers in 1908 has Endorsed
the President for the nomination
next year, when the Endorsements will
count for more than they do now.
The probability Is that the nomina-
tion will be by reclamation.

Statistics go to prove that at the
average price Of eggs during the past
four years, poultry is better worth
keeping for the eggs than for the
meat. Under the circumstances, the
poultry raiser should select those vari-
ties of fowls which have the reputa-
ton as layers, II you are handling
bird, beast or fowl for any purpose, it
is best to handle only specimens Of
tirst-class breed. The good breeds
cost more money, of course, but the
result is more than worth the addi-
tional outlay. 1t is time for the food
producer to learn that the true prin-
ciple Is more grain from fewer acres,
more beef from fewer steers, more
pork from fewer hogs and more eggs
from fewer hens. These arc the ends
which everyone should strive to attain
and when they do they will make
more money with less work.

matte achievement, Peace with honor" We
can recall no European statesman OF ais tune
whose influence for peace was more constant
and more effective In eXertng it he was not
pusllanimous He never hesitated to speak his
mind freely. His reference to dying nations
set all Europe a-ringing. But, while "a soft an
swer tIlrneth away wrath plain words do not
necessarily break the peace On the contrary
when proceeding from source OF such author-
fly integrity information. courage and reason
able liberation they make for that mutual un-
dcrstapdinc and mutual respect which are
among the best guarantees of honorable peace
Especially grateful is il for Americans 10 recaIi
that Lord Salisbury was an unaffected anu
constant friend of America; that in the Nehez-
uela crisis. the Spanish war and more tnah one
other serious incident he stood resolutely Tor
amicable and sympathetic relations with this
country, and that he was one OF the prime anu
leadin, forces on the British side that in late
years nave made Cor the moral solidarity OF the
two great branches of the Anglo-SaXon race.
OF his more than creditabe work in journal
ism. of his rare skill in chemistry and electrical
engineering of Lis profound philosophical learn
ing. of his eloquence in oratory, of his unsur-
passed power in parliamentary debate, we have
not room to speak. Nor need we dwell upon
his beautiful home life and the chaste example
of domesticity which Hatfield House set to the
British nation. These things are known to the
world. and are an inseparable part of his dis
tinguished record. He was true descendant
of the great mobiles and statesmen of the Eliza
bethan age of the BurghIeys and Cecils who
were the bulwarks OF England's strength III
those stormy days. and he inherited from them
much more than his name and habitation. In
temperament and tastes he was the typical
grand seigneur of Tudor times, or such one
with his evil traits suppressed and his good
qualities developed. He was a cOurtier, states
man, royal minister of the sixteenth century,
moving stately and masterful through the much
changed scenes Of the nineteenth century. No
man of his age was more apart from the spirit
of the age, and yet none more conseientiously
fulfilled the duties of the age as he saw them
apparently, we might say, bending the spirit OF
the age to conform to his unyielding pride as
much as he would degn TO conform to it. In
him was incarnate the England of three CEN
turtles ago. As such he was unique. We shall
not look upon his like again. But If the in
dividuaI passes, the national type remains No
man of his age more truly embodied in himself
the genius Of the British nation. But it was
not only the genius of the Elizabethan age or
that of the Victorian age but that which, I'M
broken and unchanging, has characterized the
land from Alfred to Edward VII and has made
the story of those stormswept isles and Of the
race they bred the most marvellous in all the
annals OF the sons of men.

PARKS.

The conviction of Parks came as q surprise to
his friends, which is not unnatural If they be-
Iieved what he said, or, even if they did not,
thought jury could be induced to believe it.
The whole case turned on his veracity. and evil
IDENTITY the jury concluded that he was per-
jurer before it determined that be was an ex-
tortioner
Parks left no middle ground by attempting to
explain away the transaction with Plenty. He
simply entered on course of wholesale and
evidently, in the opinion of the jury, reckless
denials. He denied ever having seen Plenty
until he was brought into court The jury was
of course the final Judge Of the truth or falslty
of these denials. A simple question of fact was
presented, and it is difficult to see how any
appellate tribunal, without the prisoner before
it and the possibility of studying his manner
can revise that finding however much it may
be abe to review legal rulings and other ques-
tons of fact Parks submitted to twelve jury
men the direct issue whether he was telling the
truth or lying, and after hearing him they
unanimously agreed that he was lying. That
decision carried with it conviction, because
Parks had rested his case on total denials,
whereas if he had been less anxious to prove
complete alibi he might possibly have been able
to put upon the payment to him something other
than criminal Interpretation.
Whatever may be the results of an appeal on
technical points, the conviction must completely
discredt Parks. He and his methods have
worked great mischief in this city. He has
caused enormous loss both to employers and
Workmen, and made building here almost i'm
possible. Until now 1t has been difficult to
make honest wage earners realize that the best
thing that could happen to them would be eman-
cipation from such pestiferOus leadership. Many
of them were however, inclined to believe that
he was being prosecuted by the enemies of Or
gained labor, and that he was an honest ADD
a truthful man. Now, after a fair trial, with
much of the testimony which the prosecution
desired to offer against him ruled out, and with
a charge which his friends considered favorable,
a jury Of his own selection, utterly free from
outside pressure or clamOr-fOr the newspapers
have for the most part been rather friendly to
him-pronounces him utterly unworthy of conf
dence and belief. Perhaps now those who have
been deluded by him may learn to consider their
own interests and strive to make labor in the
building trades continuous and efficient and
profitable to employers and employees alike, and
cease to tolerate the sacrifice of both for the en-
richment of walking delegates.

coNTAuINATLoN OF TIE cRoroN

While we are appaudng, and justly applaud

siOner in the checking of waste, it may be peril
nent TO pay some attention to what is being
done at the other end of the line. Upon the IN
excusabIe delay, laundering and msmanage-
ment which have marked the CrOtOn Lake ex-
tension works. and the strange mixture Of toll
erance and oppression which has characterized
the city's treatment of the property owners in
that region we have already commented. The
city is paying a big price for u big job that is

will be done. 1t will be half dozen years late,

and it will have cast sad reflection upon the

will get the good OF it,
What is of perhaps more immediate concern
is the manner in which the existing supply is
administered especially in the way of protect.
ing it from contamination. The city is aware
III a general way that q number of villages
have been more or less demolished. or trans
planted in order to remove possible sources Of
pollution from proximity TO the CrOton reser-
voirs and the streams which feed them The
suppostion is. therefore, that the sources Of
supply are secure. 1t must be said plainly that
such is not the case. The work thus done by
the AQueduct Commission has not been well
done. While five or six years ago, hundreds Of
people were incontinently hurried away from

YESTERDAYS RACE.

| 1t begins to look as if Sir Thomas Upton had
| better be thinking about Shamrock ". Yes
terday's impressive victory of the Reliance must
strengthen the confidence felt by American
yachtsmen. after Thursdays fuke that the
Americas Cup will stay with the custodians
who have so Zealously and successfully de-
Tended it against many gallant challengers
for more than half a century. After the I'M
successful attempt to race on Thursday Sir
Thomas expressed wish for Il good breeze next
time. He had his wish yesterday-a free, fresh
SOU wester that heeled both yachts to their rails
and sent them through the sea at pace that
kept the steam yachts busy TO keep up with
them. Yet the Irish sloop was beaten, and
soundly beaten at that.
1t must be admitted that the Shamrock had
the worst of the luck. She was somewhat to
windward of the Reliance when the first warn
ing flash of the outer mark showed that both
boats had overstood it, and this lost her what
ever Windward advantage she had gained. The
challenger was unfortunate, tOo with her sails,
the balloon jib refusing to break out, and the
spinnaker tearing out along the leach just after
beginning the run home. But when all is said
and done. the Reliances margin of over seven
minutes, corrected time, is so considerable that
it is hard to see how Sir Thomas's beautiful
yacht can hope to beat her under any conditions.
One thing the race demonstrated cOnclusively
that the challenger is a wonderfully good boat
at beating to windward in a good breeze. 1t is
yet to be shown that the HeTreshof sloop is her
superior on this point After sailing an hour
and a half TO windward, the two boats were
only seconds apart. But the Reliance, with her
greater spread of canvas, is admittedly the bet
ter boat at running, and seems more than likely
TO prove at reaching. If, then, the experts are
asking. Sir Thomass flyer cannot sail fast
enough to wndward to offset these advanta ees
of her rival, how can she be reasonably expected
TO beat her?
The challenger and the defender have now
met twice. once in a mere zephyr and once in a
good, fresh breeze. On both occasions the Amer
lean yacht has shown herself superior. It
would be rash TO say that the Cup is certainly
safe or that it is all over except the shouting
Bit what the Reliance has done she may be
depended upon to do again; and it is not too
bold to say that, if the Shamrock has shown US
her relative best, her ultimate defeat appears
assured

"OUR COUNTRY"

A coIored clergyman of Jacksonville, Fla.
few days ago wrote to 1.-THE Charleston News
and Courier" saying, II am a Southern man. L
love our whole country, especially the South"
and inclosing copy of an address intended to
correct misrepresentation of both the white and
black races and promote their advancement
His letter drew forth the following comment, so
redolent of the spirit of Tillmansm that it is
difficult to believe it comes from journal once
bitterly hostile to the pitchfork statesman:
We do not think his address or his efforts in
behalf of his race will do anything toward solv-
ing the race problem, nor can any negro or any
white man do anything toward solving the prob
lem so long he believes and acts his be
lief that any negro has the right to speak Of
this country as our country.
The Charleston editor then proceeds to de-
clare that this is q white mans country; that
he took it from the red man for his own use, not
TO share it with the slaves whom he brought
from Africa to do his work This doctrine was
of course, familiar about 1850. But a great
many things have happened since then and it's
PRONUNCIATION i'll this truculent form just now
raises an interesting question concerning the
relations of the persons who advance it to the
United States of America. 1t is not question
Of their attitude toward the negro but toward
the Constitution of what they so swaggeringIy
call their country
We should think that this was the country of
those who were loyal to its Constitution and
obeyed its laws, but it seems that it is the coun-
try Of those who would have destroyed it If
they could, and now breathe defiance to its in
situations and a desire to deprive large numbers
Of its citizens of their right not merely to vote
but even to call it their country That was not
the attitude of high minded leaders Of the old
South like Wade Hampton, Lucus Q. c. Lamar
and Alexander II. Stephens. They fought for
the COnfederacy, but when they took their
places again in the Union they were loyal to its
Constitution. Many of them objected to igno-
rant negro voters and worked to overthrow the
reconstruction governments, but in doing so
they pledged themselves and the whole South
ern Democracy TO respect the negro's claim to
consideration in this, his country The new out
break of intolerance toward the very existence
of the negro here is something foreign to their
teachings. The Charleston editor must be look
ing TO TIllman rather than Hampton for inspira-
ton.
The Constitution OF the United States de-
clares that "all persons born or naturalzed in
'the United States, and subject to the iurisdic-
"tion thereof. are citizens of the United States
land of the State wherein they reside" That
includes negroes. They may by hook or crook
be deprived OF the ballot; they may be indus
trially oppressed; they may be kept in igno-
rance; they may be hanged and burned by uobs
but still they are citizens of the United States
and of South Carolina. May they not then call
this their country? Does not the Constitu-
ton of the United States govern in Charleston?
