certain enough to deter the many who
are ready to take a chance. What shall
we do with our women smugglers?
In these days of so many sorts of con-
versation it seems a pity not to conserve
human energies. Surely so much ingen-
uity, nerve and resource must not be al
lowed to waste itself behind prison bars
or to fade out in the discouraging home
atmosphere that may be supposed to fol-
low the payment of heavy fine. Cannot
such talent be diverted to the good of
the community and to the protection of
the state itself? Why not draft the fe-
male smuggler for term OF years into
the government secret service?

Your 100 Per Cent

1t was a beautiful morning.
The sky was azure blue, the bird
chorus sang a symphony, the breezes
gently blew, and the glorious morning
sun was kissing all the regnant earth into
radiant beauty.
Before you was 100 per cent of happi-
ness.
In dressing you dropper your collar
button and got on your knees to recover
it under the bed. The collar was mis-
fit, and the tie refused to be easily ad-
justed. You allowed these trivial things
to give you CROUCH.

At breakfast the Cruel was thin, the
eggs tasted of storage, the milkman was

you had to stand and hold a strap, and
because of the congested traffic the car
got you into the shop or store or office
few minutes late. The manager looked
at you and then significantly at the clock.
Deduct 10 per cent again.
Here was the day scarce begun and 30

Farming a Profession

From the Charleston News and Courier.

poverty as one of his inheritances He
did not object to scanty Yields He was
not looked down on If he failed to keep
pace with modern development. Today
the farmer who does. not raise his bale
Of cotton or his 80 bushels of corn to the
acre is ashamed of himself. His neigh
bors look down on him. In other words,
spirit of emulation, of pride, an esprit

the agriculturists. They are getting to
be the most enterprising and capable
people in the world. Science has convert
ed farming into profession.
We talk a lot about manufactures and
railroads and this improvement and that
Improvement, but South Carolina must
inevitably always be an agricultural
state. Cheap power and wonderful adj
vantages will convert the state into n
manufacturing center, beyond a doubt.
but still the pursuit of the greatest num-
Der of our people will be farming.

Taxing Noises

From the Ohio State Journal.
There should be a new rule for taxing
automobiles, the tax to be rated accord
ing to the noise they make. Speed is not
the only fault of an auto-it is the out
raseous noise it makes That is some
times excruciating. One may hear one
of these gathering machines three blocks
away and for three blocks after 1t has
passed, but in the meantime while il is
passing life Is dismal and painful. A per-
son cannot work, talk or read, and time
is worse than wasted.
That is the thing to tax-the noise, the
grief that is on the people. OF course,
some people cannot afford anything but
an old ramshackle machine, but that is
no reason why everybody else should suf-
fer. We are talking these days about
abolishing privilege, and there is no priv
ilege quite SO oppressive as that OF run
ming gathering and ear-raclxing auto
down street, spreading CONSERVATION
in a hundred homes.
And those honks-tax out the clangor
and the Shrek, and license no auto with
the hyena Screech. Protect the people
from discord as you would from a pes
thence.

The Olympics plating is finished

that they exceed all others now afoat

their dead weight at launching time
will be between $4,000 and 10000 tons
while their total displacement when
fully equipped is calculated to be more
than 10000 tons.
The largest single plates of stee

Especial by cable to New York;
PARIS, September 21.-I am exceed
ingly sorry that Mayor Gaynor was
shot, and if Mayor Gaynor has said
what you tell me, l can only add that
l am exceedingly sorry that his injuries
have affected his mind.
After mis- apparent recovery Mayor
Gaynor expressed the hope that his
illness would make a better man of
him.
Many others entertained the same
hope, but unfortunately his experience
did not abate his evil temper or his
lying tongue The criticism of some
of Mayor Gaynor's public acts by the
Hearst papers has been temperate and
truthful, dignified and deserved, un-
prejudiced and in the public interest.
A public man who would made a
false accusation in the attempt to sup
press all public criticism of his acts
is a man who is afraid or ashamed to
have attention called to the part he is
performing.
"The "World" has persistently and
pertinently asked:
"Who is the masked man who is
employing Maurice Minton to canvass
for Gaynor for Governor"
