CONSISTENCY is IN OUR LEXICON.

Our special friend land, by the way,
one of the best little dsiiies published
anywhere,) swatted US one in the jaw
last Thursday in regard to our complaint
as to articles being taken from our col
umns and published by other papers
without giving us credit for them. 1t
says:
"The good old Keowee Courier in
its issue of this week complains that
some newspapers have been taking
articles from it's columns without
giving proper credit. We know how
The Courier feels about it, because
The Daily Mail suffers from such sins
ct the hands OF other papers every
day in the year. But in this weeks
Courier we notice news article that
was written by the Anderson cores
pondent of several daily papers for
which no credit is given, and another
article that was teiegraphed TO The
Daily Mail by its Columbia cores
pondent for which no credit is given.
Which things are very surprising.
Has The Courier's lexicon no such
word as consistency ?''
1t did not take us long to find the word
Consistency" in our lexicon, and we
find it also in daily use in our office and
the conduct of its affairs.
The Mails charge that "in this week s
Courier we notice a news article that was
written by the Anderson correspondent
of several daily papers, for which no
10 nj nd arfi al hot
was 'telegraphed to the Daily Mail by it's
Columbia correspondent for which no
credit is given," is easily explained.
First. The same article was written by
the Anderson correspondent of SEVE-
RAJ daily papers. We noticed it in
several papers simultaneously, and there
fore did not credit it to anyone, as the
others could have complained that we
were giving credit to another paper for
matter which they were equally entitled
to the credit.
Second. The same explanation holds
good in regard to the clipping from Co
lunbia to the Daily Mail. 1t appeared
credit; consequently we were not aware
that the Daily Mail was entitled to credit
for it any more than the others. Hence
no credit at all.
These articles that are sent to several
papers at the same time are recognized
as the legitimate prey of the weekly
papers, and we, like all the others,
pounce down on them with all our
energy and publish them without credit.
The Daily Mail must learn to differen.
tiate between the questionable practice
of appropriating that which is "found,"
the rightful owner being in doubt, and
the "crime" of stealing outright that
which is known to be the property
another.
Oh, consistency, thou ART a jewel !

rwo.cgNT FARE FOR ALL.
Roads Give Des Moines Agents I'M
nortant Notification.


portant Notification.
Des Moines.-Des Moines railway
passenger agents have been unoffi'
cially notified that the roads will re-
wise their tariffs so that the new
Iowa 2.cent rate law will apply to In
terstate as well as state business.
There has been much interest as
to the probable attitude Of the roads
on this question, and the information
received by local agents, while not
final Is considered definite.
When Ohio enacted the 2-cent fare
law q few years ago, the railways
first attempted to fight 1t by refusing
to make it apply to other than state
business, the interstate tariffs being
figured on the old schedule Of 3 cents
per mile. The rule caused the rail-
ways endless trouble, and finally they
decided to relent and revised their
interstate passenger schedules to con.
form with the 2-cent rate in OHIO.
Local passenger agents declare
that the 2.cent rate will undoubtedly
result in diminishing the number OF
local excursions. Special trains will
be run II the crowds warrant 1t, but
the 2-cent rate will be adhered to.
There is now serious doubt as to
whether the roads will make rates
for the annual Iowa state fair. Last
year they made one fare rate for
the round trip, or 8 cents a mile.
This year, If they insist on the
straight 2-cent rate, it will be cents
per mile. BY making it a fare and
half the round trip rate could be
made 3 cents per mile, the same as
last year, but some Of the roads are
opposed to doing this.

South Dakota Is gong to divorce IL
SELF from the divorce evil, at least to q
considerable extent. The people OF
that state have become disguised at
the ease and frequency with which d.
vorces are obtained there, and par
ticularly displeased because OF the
scandal involved in the manner IN
which outsiders use the easy laws OF
that locality in severing matrimonial
ties, and change has been insisted
upon. As it stands now six months
residence gives a person the right to
sue for divorce. The legislature has
passed bill fixing the period OF resi-
dence at one year in the state and
three months in the county In which
proceedings are instituted. and provid-
ing that all hearings shall be in open
court. 1t Is alleged, says Troy Times,
that this will put an end to the "di-
vorce industry" in which so many out
siders have engaged. and that South
Dakota will cease to be the Mecca
of unhappily mated individuals anx'
ious for quick release.
