Freedom and Self-ReStraint.
Developed fin Their Finest Combination at Con-
verse College. spartanburg, S. c.

AT Converse College, the girls are not
clustered with the rigid strictness suspected
by many close observers. Nothing that con-
tributes to gentleness, courtesy and unob-
trusive behavior in the girls is too small to
be commended with affectionate admonition.
at the same time we frankly believe in the
conventionalities realize that they are
emlnently safe, but we also realize that a
college girl is not to be clustered, conse-
quently the due social liberties are always
allowed. The system of discipline in force
here Is system of self-government, develop
ing sense of responsibility and self-re-
straint which becomes and remains for life
an admirable part of the character of every
girl.
Converse is elegantly and most comfort
ably housed, and splendidly located for
health. Far enough below. the Blue Ridge
crest to be protected greatly from the severe
northern blasts, it is yet high enough above
the sea to escape the enervating heat of the
lower levels.
frst-class gymnasium assures abundant
and beneficial exercise at all times.
The auditorium building contains the 81
rooms of the music department and the
$4,000 organ. The class rooms and labora-
tories are well lighted and practically equip
ped and the students rooms are fit homes
for refined young women.
From every point of view, from that of
parent and child, Converse Is an ideal Col
lege.

testimony to carry the conviction that
the Standard oil Company is competi-
tion-crushing corporation and that in
many respects it has disregarded and
even positively violated the statutes both
of the states and of the United States
Every item of stubborn refusal to yield
to proper judicial treatment and TO disclose
the facts tends to strengthen this belief
Eventually this sentiment of distrust will
have to be reckoned with by the trust
magnates.
John d. RockefelIer's lodging of sub
poena's servers is another instance OF
short sightedness on the part of the oil
trust men. Whether his reluctance to ac-
cepting legal service is due to a dislike
of personal publicity of corporation
publicity matters nothing. The fact re-
mains that he is virtually in hiding, en-
ploying all his vast resources to keep out
of the reach of the laws representatives

pany has much of vital consequence to
conceal
These men are making a serious blunder
OF policy. Publicity is certain to come

surance graft and mismanagement and
the uncovering of the Town Topics foul

permanent concealment is impossible

The Whipping Post Bill.

1t is neither specially complimentary nor
discoura ging to the author of the whipping
post bill to have the House District COM
mittee report it back TO the House without
recommendation, as was done today by
that body. Representative Adams can at
least feel grateful that he is to have a
chance in the House to tell his colleagues
why he believes that the wife-beating hus-
bands of the District of Columbia should be
dashed at the post, and in a way the people
of the capital should be glad to give him a
chance. They do not seriously fear the
adoption of the measure. They are, to be
sure, Inundated in a degree by the assump-
ton which the mere introduction of this
bill raises that this is brutal community,
in need Of drastic treatment at the hands
of the law, but the bill having now been
presented, it should be brought to a vote.
Public sentiment on this subject is pretty
clearly defined, and il does not favor the
Adams proposition. The Star threshed out
the subject in every possible aspect year
ago. when the amazing project was first
preached seriously before Congress. 1t
5elicited the undeniable fact that not only
here in Washington. but throughout the
country, the people are adverse to d return
to the cruel, barbaric punishments of the
past, the days of the duckng stool, the
iron gloves the rack, the wheel, the bride.
the jougs the pillory and the stocks 1t is
unnecessary now to go into the arguments
against the public whipping of brutal nus
bands. They are now we'll known to all
members of the community and members
of Congress.

American Vision DefectiveP

Can it be that the American people are
losing their eyesight? Can it be that the
national vision is defective? There are
so many indications that American eyes
are not right! The opticians sign is
everywhere, glasses grace the noses of mil
lions, newspapers publish stories on ira
choma. and the President intimates that q
national guardsman could not hit the side of
a barn.
The most heartbreaking symptom that
the American eye is off is the many diff
ferent ways people see things. OF course,
people have differents ways of looking at
things, but the point is that American
vision does not produce harmonious results.
One man will look at Panama and can
almost see ships passing through the canal;
another viii see hills and rocks and OBJ
stacles through which a canal never can be
cut; one will see rose hues and r3inbows
twined around the isthmus, and another
will see stagnant pools decorated with en-
erald slime .'-
In the matter of the Philippines, some
men can see that few Jumps of tarif-free
sugar will cause every beet sugar farmer
in the United States to starve and every
beet sugar mill to turn upside down Some
men can see that If top brick in the
tariff wall is readjusted the foundation of
the whole thing will fall down. Other men
cannot see these things at all.
And so it goes There is a deplorable
lack of agreement in mems eyes 1t used
to he said that Seeing is believing" but
that was a long time ago.

Patterson.

Senator Patterson is pre-eminently and
eternally right about the Monroe doctrine.
II should never be made a party question
All parties should uphold It, No President
of the United States could make a greater
mistake than to give that doctrine feeble
and hair-splitting Interpretation. 1t is in
its very essence a robust declaration, and
calls for robustness in its championship and
enforcement. Bismarck thought it a piece
of colossal American impudence. though
that view is not voiced anywhere in Europe
today So far as this Dominican matter is
concerned, nothing is likelier than that If
the President had turned his back on the
Dominican appeal for assistance, and things
had drifted to that point where European
screws had been applied on Dominican SOIL
the very men who are now loudest in their
criticism of his course in serving our neigh
Dor would be loudest in criticism of his fail
ure to do so. Let us carry out what the
President has with such worthy intentions
and practical means begun.

True Heroes.

The Carnegie hero fund was put to good
use when an appropriation OF $500 was
made to reward Captain Mark Caste of the
fishing schooner Alberta, and his six men.
for their gallant rescue of the Cherokee's
company when that steamer was wrecked
of Atlantic city few weeks ago There
was never a more courageous deed than
that performed by Captain Caste and his
crew. They faced death in their long strug-
gle TO reach the Cherokee in the teeth of a
gale. They had to approach close to
the shoals on which the steamer was
stranded and 10 send boat TO the Cherokee
through mountainous waves. 1t was solely
due to their efforts that the Cherokees
people were saved. nor one being taken
by the sea. The life saving crews had
failed to force their boats through the surf

seas. Captain Casio executed daring and

The Chinese Trade.

The Star Yesterday was favored with the
views Of Mr.. John Foord, secretary of the
American Asiatic Association. on the sub
ject of the Chinese boycott, its origin, its
force, and what is necessary to put an end
to It, Mr.. Foord speaks for organiza-
tion whose object is frankly and purely
business, with an eye on John Chinaman
for a customer and a willingness to make
extremely liberal terms to secure his trade.
We all want business but there is such a
thing paying too much for business. We
could easily pay China too much. If by
tinkering with the exclusion law, so as in
tentionaly or Internationally to play into
the hands of the widest of the orientals and
their coadiutors in this country we should
md America in a few years filling up with
undesirable people, the damage and the re-
gret would he great The present law
works well where there is no conspiracy to
evade it, All hardshps growing out of it
have proceeded from the schemes of scoun-
drels to nullify 1t in the interests of the
coolies If the Asiatic association and the
Chinese authorities will exert themselves in
connection with the American authorities to
defeat Chinese perjury in connection with
emigrant certificates present difficulties will
be pretty well abolished. The exempted
classes are well enough defined in the law
as ii stands, and they owe the few embar-
easements they have suffered to their own
countrymen and not to us.
Mr.. Foord speaks here and there with
probably an excess of zeal. His opponents,
in Congress or out. will hear him with no
greater attention for the use of the word
NONSENSE There are two sides to the
question and those who hold the exclusion
side have had opportunities the equal of his
10 investigate it, and are fairly to be ac-
credited with much patriotism and intel
llgencc.
Equally unfortunate, too, was his phrase,
"the howl on the Pacific coast" THE
howl If Mr.. Foord pleases. is not confined
to the Pacific coast. Let him come out from
behind his counter, and laying down his
invoices for moment put his ear to the
ground. and he will hear the same howl
from American labor organized and unor-
ganized. in Indiana, where the republicans
have a presidential aspirsnt; in Illinois
where they have one in Ohio. where they
have two: in Wisconsin. where they have
two. and in Iowa, where they have three.
1t is not very good year. if any year
were good. for the party responsible for
national legislation to put the Chinese dol
lar above the American man in any such
fashion.

The Indiana Republicans.

Reports from Indiana indicate a state
campaign this year Of unusual spirit and
on somewhat unusual lines. The srepubli-
cans are in power, and expect to win
again. but there are divisions in the party
which cause no little uneasiness April
II and 10 are the days fixed for the state
convention. and candidates for the nomi-
nations then to he made are numerous.
The situation suggests, in a way, Tim
Campbell's famous inquiry What is the
Constitution between friends?"- Gov. Hanly
has been administering his office with
considerable vigor, both in the matter
of executing the laws himself and in
that of holding other omcials to strict
accountability in that line Several state
officials and number of city and county
officials have felt his hand. and they and
their friends are UP in arms now gainst
him They are not only opposed to the
proposition that he preside over the state
convention. but insist that his administra-
tlon should not be Endorsed. on the score
that he has made many enemies by his
course and the party might find him too
heavy load to carry in the campaign
Gov. Hanlys reply 10 his critics is very
simple and direct one, and seems to dispose
of them completely. AS he sees the mat
ter public officials are elected to execute all
laws and not to pick and choose in the
premises 1t is not in their province to
neglect to do a right thing. or to do
wrong thing. simply because their prede
cessors pursued such course. He shakes
his head at the suggestion. why what is
this sort Of thing between friends? Why
raise a stir about transactions which have
become customs? Suppose there is no war
rant of law for this or that, that excise
boards are a little blind" and liberal in
constituting statutes. Is it wise or good
politics to put on the screws when your
friends with others. feel the pinch?
This, as one may see. is very dangerous
ground and wholly unsafe for any public
official TO take. Just at this time in par
ticular. with lax business methods as
well as lax political methods under fire.
the man who stands up for both the letter
and the spirit of his duties makes the
strongest appeal to the people, and the
pubIicans OF Indiana will probably concede
this when 1t comes time TO speak in April.

A Mystery of Hurnor.

When on the pave you chance to fail,
With utter lack of grace,
And turn your ankle as YOU sprawl.
And, maybe. bruise your face.
When angry tears spring to your eye
And you are mad as sin
oh. why does every passer-by
Behold you with a grin?
When foolish wagers you have paid
With natural regret,
When resolutions boldly made
All weakly you forget,
When plans go wrong, and you are broke
When you had hoped to win
In PHYS name, where is the joke,
And why do people grin?
