State Treasurer Jennings returned
few days ago to Columbia from New
York, where he negotiated loan with
bankers Of that city Of 100000 for
she current expenses of the State for
the geet Of the fiscal year, This will
be the last loan this year, as the State
previous to this borrowed 100000,

this will be enough to run the State
until the tax money comes in.

A desire for accommodating property
is laudable, for if it were not for the
prudent, economical people who lay
up store for future use, poverty and
want would stalk up and down the
land, gaunt and hollow-eyed. Many
folks rail against what they call stingy
people, and because their neighbor as
a result of frugality and self-denial
has gained competency, they say he
got it dishonesty. While wealth is q

While the candidate is abroad in

about candidates from Ex-Governor
Bob Taylor, Of Tennessee, will be in

says: Every honest man who runs
for Office is candidate for trouble,
for the fruits of political victory turn
to ashes on his lips. To me there is
nothing in the world so pathetic as q
candidate. He is like mariner with
ont compass, drifting on the tempest
tossed waves of uncertainty between
the smiling cliffs of hope and the
frowning crags of fesr. He is talk.

A scheme is being agitated before
Congress to pension all government
clerks when they reach certain age.
There is less reason for pensioniug
government employees than any other
class of civil workers, because as q
class they are better paid. They are
improvident enough now, but to hold
out pension to them is to put pre-
mium on improvidence. Anyone who
cannot live and save money on an av-
erage government salary (there are
some few exceptions) deserves to
scramble for living, instead Of be-
ing taken care of at public expense.
Of course, If you grant the wisdom
Of the socialistio plan of assuring o
living to every member OF society,
then it would be all right to pension
spendthrift government clerks, but it
would not be fair unless everyone else
was to share in the benefit.

for this feeling Of sympathy with
Japan is the great disparity in SIZE of

to very materially overcome the effect
of the physical discrepancy. Japan
