After the hearing, the former

introduced to her, but she did not
get her money. The committee will

NDoRsEs "KEITT PLAN"
Anderson County Farmers Union
Favors Proposed Method Of
Financing Cotton Crop.

The State.
Anderson, Jan. 14.-At the regu-
lar monthly meeting Of the Anderson
county Farmers union the union
went on record as endorsing the
"Kaitt plan" Of financing the cotton
crop. Mr.. J. L. Keitt, prominent
farmer of Newberry county, has been
visiting several counties explaining
his plan. which in nutshell is this:
1t provides for a fund to be raised
by levying an assessment of 10 cents
bale, to be supplemented by loans
by business men. the fund to be rails
ed to be used in holding off the mark
ct all the ''distressed' cotton. so
that only one-twelfth of the estimat-
cd crop may be put on the market in
any one month. The plan also con-
templates storing cotton in ware
houses so that the farmers may.
through their business agents. deal
directly with the mill instead Of with
the broker.

TRAINS GUNS AT PUBLISHERS.
Roosevelt Keeps Promise to Have
Some of Them Sued-Proceed
ings Unprecedented.

Washington, January 16.-Six
Washington correspondents of out-of-
town papers and a local newsboy to-
day received subpoenas to appear
next week before Federal grand
iuries and give testimony presum-
ably in connection with statements
appearing in their publications bear
ing on the Panama Canal purchase.
There is no doubt here that the
subpoenaes all have to do with suit
for libel which, it is believed, has
been brought by the government in
New York against the World. The
publishers oS the World, and Of the
Indianapolis News, Joseph Pulitzer
and Delavan Smith, respectively,
were severely denounced by the
president in letter dated Deeem-
her 1 last to VIM. Dudley Foulke. In
his special message to congress on
December Is. regarding the charges
of eorrnntion bv or on h,half Of the
government in the matter of the can
al purchase, the president announced
that the attorney general had under
consideration the form in which pro-
ceediny< for libel against Mr.. Pullt-
zer shonld be brought.
Never hofnre has such action as the
United States government suing for
crimin~l libel been taken.

There is not enough at stake in the
whole newspaper business to warrant
q man in damning his own soul by
bearing false witness against his
neighbour.

We resent the efforts that are being
made to represent the President as
sort of Big-man- afraid.of- the-rain.
There is no reason for such a charac-
terization. The President has been
out-spoken and aboveboard. He
made distinct recommendations as to
his ideas of tariff revision, stated
forcibly that the Payne law did not
meet his ideals and was equally firm
in urging that in spite of this fact it
was the best tariff law that had ever
been enacted. There was nothing of
cowardice in his Winona speech, there
was nothing of cowardice in his speech
at Des Moines nor in any Of the pub
lie utterances of his great tour. We
have not always agreed with the Pres
iuent. We think he has been too
anxious to conciliate the south. We
have no sypmathy with She appoint
ment of democrats as members of a
republican cabinet, but we can find
nothing of cowardice in his course.
The trouble is that too many fail to
distinguish between bravery and blust-
er, courage and cant. force and feroc.

What hullow mockery 1t would
be to celebrated he fiftieth anniversary
of the freedom Of the negro. This
so-called freedom is a farce and a
fraud. The doors of two-thirds Of
the avocations of life are closed to
him. Throughout more than one half
of the area of the United States he
has absolutely no rights which q white
man is bound TO respect. In the re-
mainder of our liberty loving country
he has but few. In Iowa the Supreme
court upholds the right to publicly in
suit him. His women are the legiti-
mate prey of the white men through
out all the southern states. His pro-
geny is damned from birth. He is
subject to lynching on suspicion and
for him all the savage tortures of the
red men are revived. Bah, Do not
let us heap insult upon injury by cele-
brating the anniversary of the ne
gro's freedom.

UNFAIR COMPETITION.

We have never seen more petty.
pussilanimous attempt to do dirt to a
competitor than the effort of the Bull
letin to create prejudice against the
Review for its report of the court pro-
ceedings concerning the Vail telephone

to report the facts. Not an opinion
was expressed. and there was abso-
lutely nothing said which was not true
and which would in anyway prejudice
the standing Of either party to the

TWAS an absolute statement of facts.
1t could hardly have been expressed in
fewer words. The statement that it
was victory for the Vail council'
was necessary, as without it very few
readers would have known to which
side the decision was favorable. The
, line taken from the general court
news heading stated that the Vail
Council had "won first blood" this in
itself indicated that no final decision
had been reached and no final victory
won by either side.
Frankly. we denounce such dirty,
below the belt, attacks. They are
not fair. nor honest. nor are they
intended to be. The man W no writes
them knows he is doing an UNDER
handed trick and only hopes that he
may be able to stir somebody I'D to
injure his competitor.
Competition is all right enough,
but why can it not be manly and de-
cent and above board?
The Bulletin is touched to the quick
by the fact that the Review leads it
in every way that it is possible for a
newspaper to excell. Would it not
be better, however, for the Bulletin to
try to build itself up. rather than to
devote its every effort to tearing the
Review down?

been announced that the East Boyer

Last week we announced that the Lee
case had been decided against Pat
Hedderman. There would have been
just as much sense in Mr.. Hedderman
getting mad and saying that the Re-
view had thus attacked him, and just
as much decent honesty in the Bull
letin's trying to egg him on to such
action.
In every matter before the courts,
it is the business of the newspaper to
give the news. Whether it likes the
news or not, has nothing to do with
the case. In the matter under dis
cussion the decision was of interest to
many, both to Vail people and to ..the
farmers. The Review would not have
done it's duty as q news gatherer had
it suppressed the news, simply because
it was unfavorable to one side or the

Lords Yield to Commons.

At present and for generations past the
of commons to have it's own way in re-
gard to taxation and the expenditure of
the public funds. 1t has been so punc-
tilious on this point that when a bill re-
curing an expenditure of money origi-
mates in the upper house the amount to
be appropriated is always left blank, to
be filled by the house of commons be-
fore it takes action.
Nor does the house of lords ever take
the house of commons which affects the
revenue. All bills concerning the rails
ing and the spending of money originate
III the commons. and after passing that
body are sent TO the lords, where they
are debated as IA matter of policy.
1t is within the power of the lords to
reject bin In toto, but they may not
change a single item. They cannot add
to or deduct one penny from the various
amounts stated. They must take 1t all
as it stands or nothing.
The lords recognize the right of the
house of commons to regulate taxation
and dispose of the revenues, reserving
only the privilege of criticism and giving
the action of the commons their approval
or disapproval.
And that is the situation today. The
lords have not attempted to amend or
change the budget, but they have con-
demned it as unwise in many of it's fea-
lures, particularly in the increase of the
taxation. In so doing they have per-
, formed the greatest function they are
permitted to exercise.

Electors Verdict Final.

The struggle has begun. While the de-
mands have not yet taken form, leaders
of the liberal party will ask the electors
of England to decide whether the house
of lords shall hereafter have any voice
in legislation that affects taxation and
the expenditure of the public funds.
This question will be submitted as the
principal issue of the campaign. 1t will
be argued, pro and con, in the hearing of
every voter. 1t will be discussed in the
newspapers. the magazines and in every
other printed form.
If majority of the votes should be
cast in favor of the liberal party: if the
present administration of the British gov
eminent should he continued in power,
the lords will accept the verdict as final
and submit to a curtailment OF their par
liamentary functions.
No law will be. enacted TO formally eX-
press the Judgment of the people. No
amendment will be added to the statutes.
But the record of the election will be ac-
copied as a revision of the unWritten
constitution, and will hereafter be part
of the fundamental law of the British
empire.

Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald
From our point of view il would seem
impossible for the British house of COM
mons to abolish even restrict the pow
err of the house of lords without the
consent of that coordinate body.
We make the mistake Of associating the
upper house of the British parliament
with our own Senate. No one with any
sense of humor can resist smiling at the
suggestion Of our House of Representa-
tives abolishing our Senate or depriving
that distinguished body of a jot or a tit
tic of the powers and privileges it enjoys
In some respects the United Kingdom is
more democratic than the United States
The will of the people is stronger and re-
ceives greater respect.
Although not called by that name, the
principle Of the referendum, which is as
Sociated with Switzerland rather than
with the British Isles, prevails in the
latter quite as much in the former
country. When question of politics or
administration is submitted to a vote In
Great Britain the result is accepted as
final by all concerned
And it is through an appeal to the peo-
pie that the members of the house Of
commons expect to deprive the house of
lords of considerable of the power and
prerogatives that have been enjoyed by
the British peerage.

Comparisons of Bodies.

The house of commons has been lik-
encd to the engine which furnishes the
motive power to the British government
The house of lords has been likened to
the brake, which is often necessary in
order to reduce speed or stop the vehicle
entirely, when it is running at a danger
rate or is approaching perlouS
road.
And it is undoubtedly true that the ex-
crcis" Of its veto has prevented the Brit
ish parliament from unwise legislation
and has protected the kingdom against
the mistakes of the more impetuous COM
mons.
In the present case the personal inter-
est Of many lords in the legislation they
have vetoed has weakened the force of
their action. What they object to in the
budget is the increase of taxes.
The house of commons proposes that all
incomes over 5000 shall pay an addi-
tional tuppence on the pound, which will
| make - instead of - cents tax upon
every 81. 1t proposes to increase the
death rate and legacy duties about Is
per cent. 1t proposes to increase the
stamp taxes, which apply to every kind
of legal and commercial paper.
1T increases the license fees for the
sal" of liquor and the excise duties or
what we call the internal revenue tax.
1t increases tho tax upon tobacco. on pc
troll or gasoline. Ii increases the tax on
automobiles. carriages and other high
class vehicles.
1t imposes heavy. tax upon all stock
transactions. 1t Increases all corpora
ton taxes. and -.nalIy. imposes a tax
OF 10 per cent upon the future increase
of the valtie of all lands i'm the kingdom
In other words. if a piece of real estate
shall double in value because of some
improvement the government demands
ne-fifth of that profit.
These amendments to the revenue laws
affect the members of the house of lords
personally more than any other class of
the population Although there are some
poor men in that body. 1t includes the
largest landholders. the heavy capitalists,
the most extensive brewers and distillers
and the richest men of the kingdom.
