MckEITHAN FOR FF
STONE.
FEATHER
Darlington Senator Unuualifiediv
Endorses GubernatOrial Candidate.

Darlington, Sept. 9.-The Hon. D.
L. McKeithan, Sta e Senator from
Darlington county and formerly an
enthusiastic and outspoken advocate
and supporter of the local option
candidate, the Hon. T. G. Mcleod, for
Governor, today, when interviewed by
tfA News and Courier correspondent.
declared himself strongly and en-
phatically for c. C. Featherstone.
Did you not support Mcleod in the
first race?" was the direct question
put to Senator McKeithan.
Il certainly did, and did all could TO
elect him, but now am for Feather
stone tooth and toe-nail, and ex-
pect to vote for him next Tuesday;
to be really candid with you, in my
opinion, the whole of this Pee-Dee
section is going to do the same thing.
This was McLeod's stronghold and if
you will study the returns you will
find that he got the bulk of his vote
surrounding
MS home county of Lee; practically
all Of this vote will not go to Feather
stone"
And so you think a Mcleod voter
in the first primary will have no
trouble in reconciling himself to vote
for Featherstone was asked.
Not a bit. The liquor question
was settled last week, and every
body knows it. There is no possible
chance for a prohibition measure TO
pass the Legislature at the next ses-
sion, and Mr.. Featherstone is too
sensible man 90 bring the execu-
tive department in conflict with the.
Will of the people, as expressed
through the Legislature. 1t is now
a choice of men. The people in Dar-
lington and all the Mcleod counties
throughout this entire section of
South Carolina regard Featherstone
as a high, clean man, who will give
to the State an honest, just and con-
servative administration of public af-
fairs and they will vote for him.
both because they take him to be a
man of ability and character, and
look upon his election now as a ne
cessity."
Senator McKeithan, while person
ally a Prohibitionist and believes i'm
prohibition for his county, voted for
the county option measure in the
Senate. His views on this question
accord with those held by Lieut.. Gov.
Mcleod. He has been a member of
the Senate from Darlington during
the last four years, and was one of
the most influential and popular
members of that body He is a man
OF affairs and has a large political
following in his county and section.
He is an indomitable and enthusi-
astic worker, and has the courage of
his convictions. In parting he add
ed:
You are at perfect liberty to
quote me, and say am going to use
all my influence to elect Feather
stone"

STARTLING STATEMENT,
SAYS CATHOLICS WILL CONTROL,
THE COUNTRY
Father Vaughn Creates Sensation i'm
Address Before Eucbaristic Con-
grcss in Montreal.

Montreal, Sept. 12.--Father Bern
ara vaughan, one of the famous
preachers in England, who is at
tending the eucharistic congress
here has caused a sensation by his
utterances that bids fair to create a
furore in the church circles Of Can
ada and the United States. He pre-
oicts the ruling of the United States
by Catholics; maintains that the Ro-
man Catholic church is the only one
that lives up to the law of God, and
says Professionalism is disappearing.
In an interview given out today he
said:
"The empty cradle and the empty
church-these are the greatest prob
lens Of modern life. Racial suicide
and religious suicide act and react
upon the other. The Roman Cath
lie church stands alone in it's en-
forcement of the laws of God con-
corning marriage, and the Roman
church has no complaint to make
of empty pews.
From what I hear Of conditions
in the United States. the Catholics
Will soon control that country through
force Of numbers. Christian fecun-
dity is fighting sterile paganism. and
the battle for the possession Of the
world will soon be narrowed to the
catholic church and the destructive
forces Of agnosticism. Professionalism
is disappearing.
Men and women who hesitate to
bring children into the world be-
cause of not being able to support
them are but Offering a weak ex-
cuse for their sins. To me nothing
Is more contemplate than these mar
ried women who shake their little
fists in the face of God, saying. we
ignore you and despise your laws.
THE feverish rush for pleasure is
leading them to the paganism and
"N- "~'iOii VI Sdi image, Oh PnOen-
icia, of Greece and of Rome. Wo-
men no longer want the trouble of
rearing children. Children interfere
too much with their pleasures and
their figures"
He then touched upon woman's
fight for equality of men, and did
not hesitate to say women would be
the loser.
"The new demand for woman's
equality with men will necessarily
lessen her power in the triple role
for which she is most fitted, that of
mistress of the home, the darling
mother Of her children and the
queen of her husbands heart. Today
women seek to be aggressive abroad
instead of remaining on the defen-
sive at home. When she opposes
man, she must go to the wall, be-
cause man is stronger. In any strug-
gle between them the survival Of the
fttest an consequently the strong
est will come about. In the arena
OF public life women have not got
chance with 'men. Men are
stronger mentally and physically,
and women cannot compete with
them.
Il think it is a grand thing to
see woman taking in washing. and
she is far better off that her richer
sisters who spend their time taking
II. men. 1t Is an unfortunate thing
that women have to work for their
living today. but it seems to be a
necessary economic condition of to-
day.

Mr.. Taft and the Muckrakers

The chaplain OF the house Of repre-
sentatives invoked the power oil
heaven the other day against the
gioating tongue OF the muckraker.
The president OF the United States al
Ada, o., Friday, warned his audience
against "a class OF newspapers and
or magazines that are properly criti
cised as 'muckrakers, that rely for
their circulation on the vicious and
unfounded attacks upSn the honesty
and upright character and patriotic
motives OF men in public life, and
upon those conspicuous and prominent
generally"
When the chaplain of the house OF
representatives talks about muck
rakers he refers presumably TO Ger
tain sons of Belial who speak disre-
spectfully of that grand old political
ruin, Uncle Joe Cannon. When the
president undertakes the muckrakers
he is probably expressing his conf

ger.
Il would have been better. however.
AZ both the chaplain and the presi-
dent had been more definite in their
utterances. What do they mean by
undertaking? And who are the par
ticular muckrakers that have stirred
their bile? Much depends upon the
point OF view. as certain specific In
stances will prove.
A lot OF eminent gentlemen out in
Denver protested bitterly against Ben
indgay's undertaking articles In
Everybody's Magazine. and made them
an issue I'm the recent campaign.
When the votes were counted IT was
found that the citizens OF Denver had

jorities TO the very great damage OF

Mr.. Taft himself is waiting impa-
tiently for the United States supreme
court TO sustain the governments case
against the Standard OIL company
That the government has a case
against the Standard Oil company Is
due largely to the writings OF Miss
Ida Tarbell, who aroused the public
sentiment that finally compelled &C
ton.
II was not SO many years ago that
Mr.. Taft himself repudiated the Re
publican boss OF Cincinnati, and Mr.
Taft In this instance was influenced
largely by the public feeling which
Lincoln Steffens had aroused by his
articles on boss rule and machine
government in American cities.
All this is part OF the literature OF
undertaking, SO called. Possibly the
president thinks the country has
grown so virtuous that there Is no
longer anything to criticise In gov
eminent or business; but il will take
him some time TO prove il.
In the meantime there are many
things that need presidential atten-
ton more than do the excuses OF the
muckrakers. So far as they muck
rake his administration Mr. Taft has
peculiar advantages. AS president o.
the United States he has a larger cir
culation than any of them. Through
the newspapers he can reach prac-
tically every literate voter in the
country. II his answer to their
charges is convincing, they have done

Mr.. Taft has much more TO fear

said about it.-New York World.
