Value of College Training.

The second edition of who's Who

tains 1900 pages Of brief biogra-

comment, of such persons now liV-

and 1852 on their United States
list were thus educationally clas-
sifed.
According to the best estimate We
can make from the latest census re-
turns, there are in the United States
4O,7S2,0O0 persons over twenty-one
years Old These are divided educa-
tionally about as follows:
Glass Without school
training 4,6SZ, 4S9
Glass with only COM
mon school training .32,S62,951
Glass with common
and high school training 2,165,357
Glass with college or
higher education added 1,071,201
Now the question is, how many
of the eight thousand distinguished
citizens of the United States on the
Who's Who list came from each Of
these classes?

Must Be One or the Other.

The Commoner says Senator Elk
ins has invented new phrase which
is likely to be used quite frequently
in the next campaign He applies
the name "spdtted pdotectionists"
to those who want high tariff on
things sold by their constituents and
low tariff on things bought by their
constituents. His criticism is en-
tirely justified-a man who wants
protection must give protection. 1t
can not be one-sided. The spotted
protectionists" is as inconsistent as
the spotted tariff reformer." The
spots are, as in the case of deer,
a sign of youth. They will come
off after while. A man must be
all protection or all reformer-he
cannot be half and half. the South
Carolina Congressman votes to pro-
tect lumber because some of it is
produced in his State, he can't con-
sistently refuse to vote to protect
the products of other States. To
be consistent, he must vote to pro-
tect the wool growers, the sugar
cane growers, and all other interests
that may want 3rtection. After
all these interests are protected they
plunder the people of South Caro-
lima out of millions of dollars, while
the tax IN lumber does not help them
at all as nearly all the timber in the
South is owned by the Lumber trusts
ana not the people.

They Were Bribed.

1t is a strange story which comes
from Constantinople that among the
secret archives of Abdul Hamed were
found proofs that the French and
Russian am bassadors to Turkey were
in his pay. Hitherto. while consuls
and other officials have not always
proved superior to temptation, the
chief diplomatic representatives of
nation have been above suspicion.
This leads to the hope that the pres
ent story may prove false. Yet the
cunning and intrigue and the cor
rupting influence Of Abdul were no.
torious, and it is equally notorious
that Russian officials Of all kinds are
very susceptible to bribes. If the
story proves true it will probably
throw some light on some Turkish
relations with other powers that
have been a puzzle. Such men are,
of course, unworthy Of confidence.
but they are not alone. They are
only type of men that are in the
employ Of every government in the
world. filling the highest to the low
est positions. The people who
trudge along and earn their living
by the sweat of their brow know very
little about the way the men they
elect to office conduct themselves,
and the people should take more in
terest in public affairs.

boy nine times, giving him two hun
dred and nineteen times the chance
of the common school boy, and more
than 500 times the chance of the
unframed.
1t is surprising fact that of 1852
"notables" thus gathered, 4,S10 prov
ed to be full graduates Of colleges.
From the nature of the case it
cannot be claimed that these figures
are exact, but they are based upon
the most reliable government statis-
tics and the Necessary estimates have
been made with care. 1t is also
dobtless true that other circum-
stances contributed to the success of
these college trained men, but after
all reasonable allowances are made
the figures still force the conclusion
that the more school training the
child has, the greater his chances of
distinction will be.

We Were Ignored, Too.

In it's issue of yesterday the Sun
says:
There are three newspapers pub
lished in Orangeburg. The trus-
tees of the Orangeburg School
District had an important legal
notice for publication. Two of the
Orangeburg papers, the News and
The Times and Democrat, publish
ed that notice. The Sun was
ignored. -
While the Editor of The Times
and Democrat is member of the
Board of Trustees Of the Orangeburg
School District, he had no more to
do with writing or placing the ad-
vertisement referred to by the Sun
than the man in the moon. The
first we saw of the advertisement was
in the columns of the News, and we
clipped it out and inserted it in
The Times and Democrat purely
as an item of news. We did not in
sert it as an advertisement, as it
was not sent to US by whoever de-
termined where it was to be publish
ed, and will not get any pay for
publishing it. So the Sun will see
that The Times and Democrat was
ignored along with itself. For the
information Of the Sun We will state
that this is not the first time The
Times and Democrat has been isnor-
ed in the publication of this impor-
tant notice. AS to where the adVer-
tisement should be placed was never
mentioned %at-euy. Of the meetings Of
the trustees, that Ees attended by
US, and II the trustees ever named
the paper in which it was to be pub
lished, 1t was done at a meeting
to which we were not invited, and
we are sure no such meeting was
ever held. We make this statement
in justice to The Times and Demo-
crat, which, like the Sun, was ig-
nored by whoever determined where
the advertisement was to be publish
ed. AS a trustee We do not mind
saying that the advertisement should
have been placed in all the city
papers, but We were not consulted
about the matter. When The Times
and Democrat was not given the
advertisement We published it on our
local page as news item, taking 1t
from the columns Of the News. The
Times and Democrat will not re-
ceive one cent for publishing the
advertisement.
