RIGHT WITH THE BUSINESS LEAGUE.

For Greenwood to accomplish any
great results we must stick right
with the Business League, the only
agency through Witch aclty and It's
resources can be properly developed.
And just now your cooperation
is needed the worst. The directors
of the Greenwood Business League
are scouting around silently for the
proper man to fl the secretaryship,
/ and are exercising the greatest dis
cretion in making this selection.
They know it would be best to rock
along easily than to place an in.
competent Secretary in the League.
What the Business League is
after now is to secure a Hustler who
can fill in what Greenwood needs.
They're after a man who can attract
manufacturing industries to Green
wood, a man capacitated to keep
alive the interest in the League, at
all times grabbing the best for
Greenwood. The Business League
must have another Sterling.
In order to get the right man fol
f the place, ana to land the plum.
, that are drifting South, the Bust
I ness League must have co-opera
ton. Its membership must be in
y creased and the institution mus
have more financial support. There
something else besides salaries
office rent and incidental bills. Th
League must have the coin in orde
to induce factories to locate il
Greenwood, It must have none
! to operate an extensive boostin
campaign of Greenwood. It mus
- have hackers who will do the prope
thing when promoters come It
:, establish industries.
G. The main thing it needs jul
y now is an increase in it's member
, ship. Be a eal-article citizen b
joining the League. Don't wa
- for some one to solicit your men
bership, but drop in the Leag,
!, rooms and be enrolled. As long
~ you stay out you're hurting yo'
n city. If you are after improvir
=. Greenwood, get with the Leag'
and lend it financial support.

Why College Men Fall.
(Ohio State JournalD

JUNO state JOufndl.)
In baccalaureate sermon in New
York Rev. DR.. McAfee dilated upon the
reason who so many college men fail
and it is plainly this. with all their in
ducements to be manly, they will not
be manly. An education that will not
make a boy manly is fraud 1t is the
individual increment that is necessary
to success. A boy must have a high
purpose, and he must stand by it like
hero.
Those boys didn't have it who joined
the bread line in New York or found
themselves drifting down in the Bow
cry crowd. We will bet anything they
lit their pipes on coming out of reci-
tatiom and staggered down the avenue
in little banged-up hats and trousers
rolled half way up to their Sims. They
belonged to the sWagger crowd that
found a serious thought an awful bur
den to the intellect. The doctor goes
on to remark:
1.-The only basis for self-respect
which cannot be lost is definite, inn
plicit recognition of the right of
mans conscience in his life. That at
least never brought man to a Bowery
bread line. And that self-respect is
the hope of citizenship
And there cannot be self-respect
built out of the mere comedies, the in
sincerities and the lubricities of life
There is time for fun and frivolitv. bu;
it is not all the time. nor large part
of the time, and the boy who thinks it
is will appear in the bread line.

Where Responsibility Rests.

If the new railroad law contains no
provision whereby railroads may De
prevented stock watering. and it seems
unlikely that it will, the Democrats
will be compelled to shoulder much OF
the responsibility. as all l. but one IN
Congress are against it.
The principal reason advanced in
support of their objection is that such
regulation will interfere with state
rights. 1t is said that the President
does not take this view, and he Is a
good lawyer, but is insisting that some
thing be done to prevent the great evil
There is no occasion for surprise In
tine attitude of the Democrats. Some
of them are undoubtedly honest IN the
matter while others are playing poll
tics. The Democratic party always
nreferred to talk about reform than TO
tackle II in earnest. They never mad
any success at putting their theories
into practice.
State rights has been one oil
the greatest stumbling block that ef-
fective measures have had. Our read
ers will recall the notable address OF
EIihu Root several months ago on this
subject. He favored the idea that the
states exercise their power in effecting
reforms and not supinely wait for the
central government to do house clean
ing throughout the country. He very
frankly and emphatically predicted
that unless the States should do this
the central government would be COM
pelled to do the work.
Has anyone imagination sufficiently
vivid to believe these Democratic con-
gressmen and leaders will, if they de-
feat President Taft's efforts to nave
stock watering prevented, go back to
their respective States and secure the
necessary legislation? 1t would be
well for such to keep this matter in
mind

A Good Taft Breeze.
baltimore American.D

That Wisconsin should give it's I'M
quaiifled Endorsement of the admins
tratiOn and express strong sentiments
of support for the President was to be
expected. There are no divisions in
that state entailing factional fighting
and making Endorsement of the admin
istra ton in any wise uncertain. The
platform adopted is for Taft from first
to last. 1t is not matter of surprise
that in d country as vast as this there
should be standings of the general Re-
publican position in many sections. SO
that while Wisconsin is strong in it's
undiluted Repubicanism some other
ify this position.
Nevertheless, even in such state as
Iowa where the fight has been vigor-
Gus between the progressive Republi-
cans and the regulars. the administra-
ton has come in for excellent treat
ment. Taft policies are there assCcia-
ted with the regular Republicans. al
though by no means exclusively so and
the probably control Of the next con-
vention by the regulars is excellent.
Gov. B. F. Carroll, Republican, has
been safely nominated over his compe-
titor. Warren G. GarSt, the candidate
of the progressive Republicans. Gov
ernor Carroll proclaimed that ne was
running on his state record. ne"erthe-
less the success he has achieved is due
not little to the fact that the regular
Repubicanism Of the state is too
strong for the radicals to overcome. AS
matter of fact, the Presidents visit
to the state and plea for his policies
had not little to do with the fortunes
of the regular candidate. The tide of
insurgency is gradually turning, and
certainly the position of Mr.. Taft is
becoming more clear. He is seen to
get the representative of no faction
but Of straightout Republicanism. even
though this at present means more 70,
the regulars than the insurgents. The
indications from the West are general
ly favorable to the success Of the Taft
policies.
