Juries Did WelI-South Carolina is
not quite as bad as Georgia in having
most Of the murders within her borders
committed by prominent" citizens. In
the former state they are only near
prominent, and the conditions are be-
coming such that juries will at times
convict members Of this class Of So
ciety of murder in the second degree,
though no Appointment citizen has
yet been hanged or even sentenced to
death. But the fact that two men Of
this class were convicted in one coun-
ty last week and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment shows that a change is
taking place; that there is an awak-
ening to the deplorable conditions
which have existed heretofore, and
that a true value may yet be placed
upon human life. II South Carolina
juries continue to convict near-prom-
inent citizens Of murder, the senti-
ment against murder may spread

THE DEMOCRATS sHIRKEp.
Could Have Blocked Tariff Bill Had
All Been Present

1t Is predicted tonight that con-
gress will complete its work on the
tariff this week and that President
Taft will sign the bill before Satur-
day night, says Washington special
of Sunday to the Charlotte Observer.
There will be some debate in the SEN
ate, Of course, but nothing like fill
buster. Southerners are very mad
about the action Of the conferees in
putting cotton bagging on the dutiable
list, but there is little promise OF a
change. 1t is estimated that seven
western Republican senators will vote
against the bill but there Will be
enough to pass 1t.
Five Democrats, Bartlett, OF Neva-
da; Craig, Of Alabama; Hitchcock, OF
Nebraska; Hobson, of Alabama; !;
Russell, of Texas, and Wiesse, OF Wis
consin, were not here to vote last
night. Brusard and Estopinal, or
Louisiana, voted with the RepubE-
cans. The majority was but IL. Had
all Of the Democrats been present and
voted one way the report would have
been rejected. Three Republicans
were absent. The agony Is still on;
congress refuses to adjourn and let
the weary statesmen return to their
homes ard loved ones, their dear brok-
en- fonces and their remunerative
law offices (most congressman are
lawyers). There is wailing and gnash-
ing Of teeth, If not weeping, in many
a political camp. In some hearts, like
those of LaFollette, Gore, Tillman,
Champ Clark and Beveridge, turks a
longing for the lecture platform.
These peculiarly fortunate represen-
tatives Of the people say: 81 love my
constituents. and my job, but oh, you
chatauqua!"
The plain, simple Aldrich,. with the
sturdy gait-the walk like the OK
who never worries about such COM
mon things as dollars, constituents
and glory, is in the battle to stay. He
fights every inch Of ground, leaving
no stone unturned to further his in
terests-whatever those interests be.
It is said here that while others faint
from the heat and fall by the wayside
in the thick Of conflict the man from
Rhode Island fattens and revels as
the fur flies. If President Taft out
does Mr. Aldrich he must use the big
stick: 1t will not be by cleverness,
cunning, industry, or superior gener-
alship.
