while the Republicans claim monop-

Democrats to devise the state primary
election as method of bringing all
elections close to the great body of the
people, and wherever tried it has work
ed like a charm. South Carolina un-
questionably possesses the most per-

finally approximate the South Carolina

When Jefferson's Declaration
Of Independence was read at
Philadelphia on July 4, 1916, it was IL
little heaven of liberty placed in the
human heart which has been working
Ats wondrous works from that day to
this and which will continue to work
until there is no sort of government
save representative government in any
civilized country. Of course the Rus
sian douma is having a tough time
getting itself started, but so had the
English parliament, the French assem-
bly, and the rest The douma, however
will find its way to stand. Cossacks
may dissolve 1t and ride it down few
times, but that douma will be there
finally doing the peoples work, and
the bloody Cossacks will be eating
.Tamely out of it's hand. The latest
suggestion as to extending the repre-
sentative form Of government in Eu-
rope Is for a Balkan federation to be
formed Ut nEst Oh ttouuaHfd, buisdIld
and Servia, with Prince Charles, son
OF King Charles Of Roumania, at its
head. The hope is that later on Mace
donna and Albania would enter the con-
federacy, which would then possess
population and resources enough to
take an important position in Euro
pean affairs. All good people every
where will wish them success, even If
they retain the monarchical form OF
government-that is. fixed head with
an elective parliament or congress-for
the Roumania princes have demon.
strated fine qualities and great .capac-
ity. The curse of the Balkan people is
the jealousies of small and jangling
states.

Still In Session

London, March 21.-The session OF
the house of commons which began
at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, is
still in full swing. The house has
thus sat uninterruptedly for "a hours
with every prospect of continuing sit
ting for some hours longer. The
measure under discussion is the an
nual army bill Really it is not con-
troversial but it is being utilized by
the opposition to obstruct government
business. Premier Banner
man who went home Wednesday night
returned to the house at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning, and informed the
jaded legislators that the government
had no intention of yielding to the
vindictive tactics of the opposition.
The measure must be passed before
the house is permitted to adjourn.

With a continuous electric current,
such as Americas is to have now, an
increase in our list of smaller industries
should follow quickly.

One single case, of little local inter

HAPPENED AT BAD TIME.
Minister'S Fall Significant in View Of
Previous Words.

In small church in one Of the min
Ing towns of Pennsylvania was a pull
pit both antique and unique. 1t was
about the size and shape Of a flour
barrel, was elevated from the floor
about four feet and was fastened to
the wall. The ascent was by narrow
winding steps.
A minister from neighboring town,
man Of great vigor and vehemence,
preached there one Sunday While
preaching he bent forward and shout
ed out with great force the words Of
his text
The righteous shall stand, but the
wicked shall fall"
Just as these words escaped from
his lips, the pulpit broke from its
fastening, and he fell out and rolled
over on the floor before his congre-
cation. In an instant he was on his
feet again and said:
Brethren, | am not hurt, and
don't mind the fall much, but l do
hate the connection"
