NOW IT'S DOCTOR ROOSEVELT.
Another Title Conferred on Americas
Wonderful Ex-Executive.

Berlin, May 12.-Upon former
President Roosevelt was. today con-
ferred, by the University of Berlin,
the honorary degree Of Doctor OF
Philosophy. Emperor William hon
ored the occasion with his presence.
It was the first time that his maj
esty had graced a conferment, and
the courtesy was significant III view
cf the fact that the German is in
mourning for the monarch's uncle,
King Edward. The ceremony Of con-
ferring the degree was staged and
conducted with impressive simplicity.
Many other notable persons were
present, in addition to the members
Of the royal family. The Aula WAS
filled to it's capacity of 1900 persons
by the faculty of the university, stu
dents and guests. Rector Erich
Schmidt orened the program by Civ
ing an outline of the life of MI. Roose-
welt, from the time he was a delicate
child until he became an African MINI
rod.

RAILROAD FOR SALUDA.
Attractive Proposition Submitted to
Business Men.

Saluda, May ia gentleman,
whose name for the present is with
held from the public, was in Saluda
yesterday, and submitted a PROPOSE
ton embracing the terms upon which
he guarantees this town > railroad
in short order If the conditions are
met by the citizens of the town and
surrounding community. The prop
osition has been taken under advise
ment, and the proper steps have been
taken to ascertain if the gentleman
can deliver the goods on the terms lie
prescribes. If it be found that he
can it is quite probable that his de-
mands will be met at a very early
day.
Twenty citizens will guarantee the
bonus. he asks and all subscriptions
will be made payable to this commit
tee, so that their liability in the first
instance will be reduced in accord
ance with the sum subscribed by
others.
The point from which the road is
to be built will not be divulged until
all plans for Its construction shall
have been completed. The road is to
be built from some point on an exist
Ing railroad either south or west OF

in IS counties in which a membership
of over 5000 has been enrolled. The
farm extension work of Clemson has
proved so successful that the board
Of trustees are now offering the
schools of the State a special man to
introduce agricultural courses. With
him there will also be associated a
specialist in animal h%usbandry, and
these men are prepared to take scien-
tifc methods to every schol house
where the patrons and teachers wish
to attempt agricultural instruction.
The conference thus had a direct
bearing on the elementary school,
the high school, and the agricultural
college. The forces it represented are
prominently educational, because
thoughtful men agree that u chief
need today is a larger number Of in
telligent, Independent farmers who
own their homes and do their
own work. With a soil and climate
equal to any in the world, it is high
time that South Carolinians should
begin to apply business methods on
the farm. The education that is need
ed does not belong exclusively to the
school room, but the school room is
unQuestionably one Of the best means
of reaching, beautifying and elevating
the home. The authorities Of Glenn
son college have begun a work which
is fraught with unlimited possibilities.
Personally I greatly enjoyed the meet
ing. 1t is worth any mans time to
visit Clemson, inspect its class rooms
and laboratories, meet its faculty and
catch a glimpse Of the 900 cadets who
are soon to aid in the industrial, agri-
cultural, educational and social acti-
vities calling for intelligent work"

COL. J. S. NEWMAN DEAD.
Prominent Educator and 4griculturist
Passes Away at Walhalla.

Walhalla, May 12.-Col. J. S. New
man, one of the best known educators
and practical farmers Of South Caro-
lima, died at his home here last night
about 9 o'clock, at the age of "a years.
He had been in failing health for some
time, but the news Of his death came
as a distinct shock to the people Of
Walhalla, as no one thought his con-
dition was of a critical nature. He
had been up and about his home dur
ing the day. He had suffered for some
time from Bright's disease and sever
al months ago developed a cancer.
The former, however, was the i'm
mediate cause of his death.
Col. Newman was a native Of Vir-
ginia, having been born in Orange
county, that State, in 1886, his par
ents being James and Mary Scott
Newman. For. many years he was
associated with Clemson college, as
professor of agriculture and director
Of the experiment station, which posi-
tons he filed with credit to himself
and to that great institution. Several
years ago he resigned these positions,
retiring from his long service as an
educator and receiving from the Car
negie fund, set aside for that purpose,
an annual pension of $1,000. On his
retirement from active service at
Clemson college Mr.. and Mrs. New
man moved to Walhalla, where they
purchased a small farm just within
the corporate limits Of the town. This
little tract Of land stands today as
a memorial to the practical knowl-
edge\of this great agriculturist, as to
all gardening. From centre to cir
cumference it is indeed a veritable
garden spot, both in point of beauty
and utility. Col. Newman was not on
ly able to do things in practical farm
ing and demonstration, but he was the
author of several valuable works on
agriculture and horticulture and he
was the dissemination of a vast
amount Of practical knowledge, which
has done much to raise the standard
of agriculture in Oconee and other
counties Of the State. He vas a val
liable citizen and his death will be
keenly felt. Broad In his views, kind
in disposition and filed with a burn
ing desire to be Of benefit to his fell
bowman, he drew to him as personal
friend and ardent admirer all who
knew him.
Col. Newman leave his wife and
several children to mourn his death.
C. G.. Newman, now associated with
Clemson college, is one Of his sons.
This afternoon the body Of the de-
ceased was sent to Pendleton, from
which place the funeral took place,
the ;nterment being in the cemetery
of the Old Stone church. Col. New
man was a stanch Episcopalian and
the funeral services were conducted
by his pastor, the Rev. l.. E. Hubbard,
rector of the Episcopal churches at
Clemson, Walhalla and Seneca.

SENATE MIGHT
 SET BARRIER
Democrats Fear it May Fail to Ratify Appo nsmensS of
 Gov. Baldwin

belief is quite commonly express ed among Democratic politicians in New Haven that the Republican ma jor;ty in the State Senate next year would lose no opportunity to turn down any nominations that Governor elect Simeon E. Baldwin might make for the positions of insurance commis- sioner and highway commissioner, the two choicest plums that are in the gift of the Governor-elect. It is said that if the Republican Senate chose to hold up these nominations as made by Gov ernor Baldwin the old office holders, Messrs. Theodore H. Macdonald, al a salary of S2,5e0 and James H. Mac donald at a salary of $5,O00, respec- lively. could hold over.
 Nominations of these commissioners together with those of bank and rail- road commissioners will have to be sent into the senate during the com ing session of the legislature. They will be subject to the advice" of the Senate, and, failing of endorsement, meeting of the General Assembly. If the final approval fails, it is possi- ble, as nearly as can be made out from legal authorities the present i'm cumbents of these offices will hold over. Meantime the Governor will have the power of removal for cause.
 But on the other hand it is not thought that the Republicans in pow CT at Hartford will dare to attempt to oppose Judge Baldwin's views. in view of the results of the recent cleo tion and also of the uncertainty of the coming political outlook.

Heartily favoring the system of government adopted by Manchester, Conn.,. which it is claimed has re- suited in a saving of s2e, 900 for tax payers of that town in the last two years the committee appointed at the last town meeting of Orange to draft some form of government for the town which would be more representative and economical, last night at an ad- iourned town meeting, presented res- olutions, which with the whole report, were accepted, favoring the establish ment of a new system of government for the town. The same committee was appointed to draw up and submit a charter for the new system Of gov ernment to the next General Assem- bly. with the proviso that any char ter granted by the Legislature shall be submitted to a vote of the citizens for it's acceptance or rejection. The report was accepted with no hesita- tion on the part of those who taxed the seating capacity of the West Ha- ven town hall.

New Haven. Nov. 22-"As poor as an instructor" is apt to become a popular paraphrase of an old obserya- ton on poverty. today. following the announcement at the November meet ing of the Yale Corporation, yester- day, of an anonymous gift of s15OO of which the interest is to be used as an emergency fund to assist short" instructors and assistant professors. After years of training these men re- ceive only $900 to S1,SOO a year. with which they must uphold a station in high life in the community.

DECLINE OF PROHIBITION SEN.
 TIMENT.

From a circular issued by the U. s. Brewers Association, it appears that he recent elections indicate "a fur her marked decline of prohibition sen iment. The circular says also:
 Concurrently it appears no less clear hat the people are resolved upon a firm administration of just laws gov .rning the liquor traffic. Reviewing ihe elections as a whole and in an impartial spirit, it must be granted that, taken by and large. they offer a 'emarkable popular endorsement of the American theory of home rule and the icense system. Naturally, the change ,f sentiment is most striking in the South where scarcely more than two years ago the prohibition agitation as- sumed the features of a genuine cru ,ade. But North and West and East he influences of reaction are equally 1t work, as the election results dis dose in these sections.
 Following is bare summary of the more important contests with word IS to their significance:
 Alabama-Emmet O'Neal, Democrat, S elected Governor upon local option platform, thus defeating statutory pro- 1ibition. Legislature has been elect Id in harmony with the attitude of the Governor. Repeal of the Prohibition ;aw is thus assured
 Arkansas-There was no general elec- ion in this State. the election in Sep tember having returned majority of he Legislature opposed to Prohibit lion.
 Arizona-The struggle in the Consti- tutional convention between Prohibit sionists and the Antis for advantage In the operation of the initiative and referendum in cities and counties has resulted in the adoption of the mil nority report of the Legislative com nittee, which leaves the question of he control of cities by counties, rela- i've to local option, as it is in the present territorial law. Under the present law cities and counties are aggregated in the matter of controlling he liquor traffic, each preserving it's <dtonomy.

MUST NOT
 REVERSE ITSELF

MT. Bryan takes early occasion to tate, in substance. that the Demo- ratio party must not allow itself to te forced or persuaded into a policy
 if "standpat'' conservatism. while the Sepublican party adopts the policy of ,rogressiveness. 'If the Republicans dominate a progressive in 1912.' con inred Colonel Bryan, "the Democratic candidate must be progressive to hold he Democratic votes; if the Republi- ans nominate standpatter, the Dem- ,cratic candidate must be a progres- iveSto draw Republican votes"
 That attempts will be made to draw he Democratic party into' policy of io-called conservatism, is eminently ,robable. The money powers. Wall .tfeet, the big trusts. etc., undoubtedly stahd ready to make big promises of ash and influence if the Democratic eaders will but adopt what may be. alled reactfonary course. Tn our judgment. this attempt will fail. The ,arty cannot reverse itself without orfeiting. and rightly. the confidence VI .tiIc BcOPlc. OuCH dCtiOH NOui0 'nce drive away the Republican pro sressives who supported Democratic nominees at the recent elections
 Whether the Republican party will nominate a progressive in 1912. is natter of grave uncertainty. Its progressive element will unquestion- lbly endeavor to secure control of the National convention, but not with much chance of success, unless the events of 1911 put a radically different complexion upon party affairs. Much will depend upon the action of Con- ,ress at the coming session, and upon hat of the next Congress which does lot come together until December, i911. By the way, the gap between he election of a House and its assem- ,ling-over a year-is altogether too great. During that period, public questions may change materially.
 The stand-pat element in the Re publican party is. in our judgment, :oo strong to be overcome by the pro- sressive element. It will control the ,arty's Congressional caucuses, and it -eally controls the Administration If President Taft is a progressive. he has shown but slight evidences of the fact He has called the Aldrich tariff the pest ever made; the influence of the he Middle West Progressives, and'its bent towards standpattism has been .vinced in other ways.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-11-22

It is not extremely probable that Senator Lodge of Massachusetts will withdraw his candidacy for reelection at the demand of Governor-elect Foss. The penalty for refusal to withdraw will be a stumping tour of the State by Gov. Foss in opposition to the Lodge candidacy. In the opinion of the Governor-elect. Senator Lodge is not in touch with the new order of things. with the progressive spirit of the times. The Senator has shown, by his votes, that he is opposed to honest tariff revision downward. lower duties on the necessaries of life, free raw materials, an untaxed food sup ply, reciprocity with Canada and more democracy in our form of government These questions were issues at the recent elections, and the people gave very emphatic assent to them
 But Senator Lodge is a standpatter, and the obstinacy of that breed is notorious. We are inclined to believe that he will not withdraw. but that the Foss campaign will defeat him and that progressive will succeed him.
