The Money Lenders Scored
BY Judge.

In his charge to the grand
jury Monday morning, Jud ge
George e. Prince, who is presid.
ing over the general sessions term
of court which is being held this
week, said he had been asked TO
bring to the attention of the
grand jury the prevalence of
a certain class of excessive mo-
ney lenders known as "money
sharks" and he asked that thew
consider the matter and act as
they saw fit.
There are, it is said, many of
these money lenders in Columbia
who, it is alleged, loan small
sums of money to The poorer
class of people, ,and so arrange the
interest feature that before the
accounts are finally squared, if
ever, the interest returns are far
in excess of the principal. Such
business principles, or rather.
unprincipled practices. are detri
mental to the interests of any
community and it is hoped that
some steps will be taken to wipe
out the thieving money lenders.

Farmer" Endorses "Tu-
tors" Article Advocating,
Only one Session of Public
School.

Mr.. Editor: Some two months
ago | read Tutors article in
your columns advocating ONLY
one session of public school
and that in the fall, winter and
spring. AT first it seemed to me
that the plan was hardly practi
cable; but, after reading again
and thinking the subject over, |
concluded it was feasible and
would prove beneficial.
We farmers could really be
more diligent and give the little
fellows chance to go to school
more. We do g. to town oftener
than is necessary and we sit
around home little more than
we would unless we had these
little ones to do chores for us. In
fact we could do a good deal
more than we have done hereto
fore and give the little ones a
better chance. AS far as | am
concerned and believe, Tutors S
plan is good one: let us try it
faithfully for a year or two and
test the matter. If there is any
better thing, for the same price,
tnan what we are getting. let us
have it!
According to this plan both
parents and teacher can lay plans
tor that portion of the year be-
tween schools, BOYS nearly grown
girls too-could arrange for
their schooling and other bus
mess. Where summer sessions
are taught the year is broken
twice instead of once {: thus
teachers have no chance for 9TH
er work, nor can the other class
es arrange for satisfactory EN-
ployment and attend school too.
Give the one term trial?

Nothing has raised more quiet

Nothing has raised more quiet yet relentless opposition to the president since bis insistence on the passage on the rate bill. than his determination to remodel the land laws of the west to prevnt fraud In cquiring im- periai slices of the public domain. Western congressman are in the ma iority in opposition to this course, but it will be noticed in scanning their interviews. "A prominent western senator" Or an influential
 western representative" is the way that they usually mask their identity.
 None the less. reform of the land laws is coming just as certainly as railrorad rate legislation says one Washington writer. The president happens to know a good deal person. ally about the land situation in the west. He is not even dealing with a subject on which he has to study up as he did most effectively on the railroad rate legislation says one grazing land frauds. timber land frauds. mineral land frauds and all the other sort of land frauds mean. because he has lived among the men that both commit them and suffer from them. Also he has the support of some of the best scientific experts in the government service in dealing with the problem From the geologi- cal servey he has the experiencec of men who know mineral land. and have no more business sense than to work for the government for sz.500 a year when they could get two or three times as much on the outside In the Forrest service. he has the experience and reliability of men like Clifford Pinchot to support him, .

The rights and comfort of public dependent upon the Public Service corporation have been outlined by Supreme Court Justice Swayze. Un- sanitary street cars, as we'll as cars in such poor state of repair as to cause discomfort to the minds and bodies of their passengers were scored, and several cases were cited where the carrying company is liable to indictment at the hands of Union county's grand jury. Where a straight fare of five cents for short ride is charged, experts have declared that rapid transit corporations can operate the best equipment to be had at a profit. rom" Johnson, of Cleve- land, declares this can be done at three-cent rate, while the rapid transit commission of Philadelphia has declared that at a 1-6 cent fare, six tickets for 25 cents, the rapid transit company of that city should provide passengers with we'll heated and comfortable cars, operated on close schedule. Where a community is so dependant upon single corpor- ation for its mode of transportation only concerted and determined action can bring about a reform. Long and weary waits on wind swept street corners for delayed cars are exasper- ating to say the least, and when one Is compelled to enter a still colder car there is little wonder that car rying corporations come in for their share of condemnation at the hands os iong suffering and too tolerant public.
