STUDENTS ARE PROUD
OF WOODROW WILSON

princeton, Nov. 11:-The senti-
ment of the undergraduate body in
the university here has been express
ed through the columns of the Daily
Princetonian in yesterday mornings
issue. Through the assistance of the
students, who electionered for Gov
ernor-elect Wilson in the borough,
and cast a vote of about 400 for him
on Tuesday, he was enabled to carry
princeton by a good plurality. The
statement from the Daily Princeton
ian is as follows:
The pride and satisfaction which
the whole community feels over the
election of Woodrow Wilson to the
governorship OF this state we can
express but poorly.
yet We do not err when we say
that the feeling is more than local
and friendly pride, strong as this is.
What DR.. Wilson stands for and
what he is going to do in the broad
field OF the state affairs is appreciat-
ed by none more keenly than tho
undergraduates. They exult that this
opportunity has come-to Dr.. Wilson.
They realize the bitter struggle
which he must engage in before the
successful accomplishment of his
plans. But they know him and are
confident that in the depths of his
nature lies a capacity to meet sue
cessfully any hindrances to the full
fillment of his resolute principles.
with deep regret at the final dis
solution of the close bond of twenty
years, but with high delight that so
great a distinction should be award
ed where it was SO deserved; with
supreme pride In his accomplishment
and with firm confidence in his abil-
ity to make actual his conceptions of
a leader and a server of the people,
Princeton thrills at the honor won
by her SON."

A ONE SIDED PAPER,
Protection For Workers Shocks
New York Tribune.
THE IDEA is UNAMERICAN.
But the Great Advocate Of High Pro-
lection Sees No Wrong In the Gov
eminent Providing High Dividends
For Selfish Manufacturers.

The New York Tribune Of Feb. II
has funny editorial Oh the subject of
the fright to Work" 1t is not. of
course, intended to he funny. but it is
a funny editorial for such u paper to
print. for the Tribune is high pro
tectionist paper and a thick and thin
supporter of the payne-Aldrch tariff
Yet here is what it says about the de-
mand made by the English labor par
ty that work shall be provided at the
public expense for every man who
wants it:
The theory is that the world owes
every man living and il one cannot
find a private employer who wants
his labor and will pay him wages he
may demand employment Of the state
as a natural and inalienable right and
the state will have to give it whether
it needs his services or not"
If that is fair description Of the
does it differ from the demand Of an
American protectionist capitalist who
goes to Washington and says: "Mr
A!drich. l am in the manufacturing
business, and l can't make it pay.
The Germans are getting all the con-
tracts. and l can't get one. So l want
a tariff that will enable me to put up
my prices 40 or so per cent and thus
continue in business?
Speaking of the effect of thus sub
sidizing labor in the city Of Manches-
ter by means Of public works to re-
lieve unemployment. it goes on to say:
I'VE are informed that $75.135 was
paid for work which under normal
conditions would have cost $4,000
that is to say. the work cost the tax
payer more than thrice times as much
as it should have cost"
Is it necessary to go all the way to
Manchester to find parallel case to
this? Surely not. Is not the Ameri-
can consumer always paying out mon
ey to the trusts that he would never
need to pay if the government did not
put into their hands legal weapon
with which to raise prices? EX-GOv-
ernor Douglas of Massachusetts has
shown that to put $2.5OO.OOO into the
United States treasury as a result of
our former duty on hides we put ST.
100000 of unnecessary profits into the
hands of the beef and leather trusts.
And the same rule applies to other pro-
tected articles.
If it is right to protect the unem-
ployed capitalists. why is it wrong to
protect the unemployed laborcrs? The
truth is that we have too much pro.
lection and too little economic free
dom for both labor and capital.

TARIFF RESPONSIBLE.

Byron w. Holt Says It Adds - Per
Cent to Cost Of Living.
Mr.. Byron W. Holt has an impor-
tant article in the New York lIdepend-
ent of Feb. "a. entitled Tariff and
Cost of Living"
He assigns to the tariff the second
place as factor in bringing about the
current high prices. the other two
factors being gold depreciation and
rising land values. He admits, how
ever. that lit might be shown that the
tariff is responsible for some Of the
increase in land Values
He continues: From somewhat care
full estimates made by myself in 1908.
the cost of living in this country was
then nearly II per cent higher than it
would have been had there been no
tariff. 1t was estimated that the IT,
100000 families then consumed foods
worth $1,000, 100000. or $941 per fam
fly. On this basis the tariff tax was
about Sill per family. or $94.4S after
deducting the $16.52 per family which
was the amount of tariff taxes actu-
ally collected by the government" Mr..
Holt does not think that the amount
Of the tariff-trust tax per family is
less now than it was then.
Then follows an interesting list Of
the amount of the tariff tax which the
average family had and still has to
pay, as calculated from the best data
available 1t ought to interest the con-
sumner just now.
Taking some Of the more impor-
tant items. the tariff-trust tax per
family was. on woolens, $9.2S; on silks,
linens. laces. furs. rubber goods. gloves,
ETC., 50; on cottons. $6.37; on furni-
ture, etc. SO "a; on beer, whisky. wine,
etc, 1854; on building materials. $500;
on implements and tools. $500: on
sugar, confectionery. ETC., $4.72; on to-
bacco. etc. 1912; on sickness and death.
$3.50; on beef. veal and mutton. $249;
on vegetables. $40; on bread. $1.94;
on amusements and recreation, $1.1o;
on hogs and hog products. $1.74; on
travel, $1.35; on boots and shoes, $1.23.
Other items bring the total up to
SOFAS"
The elimination Of the tariff graft.
according to Mr.. Holt. would be equiv
alent to an advance Of II per cent in
wages and salaries throughout the
country; strikes would diminish. and
railroads could secure cheaper ma
terials and more freight.
"Our railroads." he adds. would to-
day start an agitation for free trade
if they knew their own interests. Fully
% per cent Of the 90.OO0,0O0 of consum-
ers in this country would do likewise"

Charleston special of Friday to the
Spartanburg Herald: That one touch OF
sorrow makes the whole world kin, was
evidenced yesterday when Rev. j. H.
Thacker of Yorkville, told the story in
conference of how he and his family
had suffered all the year with illness.
He said that he was ready to be reliev-
ed of the charge, because he felt that
he was not able to do his full duty by
the people. The presiding elder, Rev.
r. c. Odell, stated in behalf of the
Rev. Mr.. Thacker that his work was
highly appreciated by the members OF
his charge and that they had asked to
have him returned to them. They told
the presiding elder they were content
ed with the service because it was the
man that they loved. Rev. Mr.. Thack-
er had had a severe struggle. so heavy
were the expenses on account of the
continued illness in his family. The
oldest member Of the conference sug-
gested that a collection be taken up for
Mr.. Thacker In less than five minutes
$2S7.l1 had been collected and turned
over in spot cash to the unfortunate
man.

Brinq Them Home.

York county has one need in common
with every other county in the United
States, and that one need is more peo-
pie.
There is no one thing that cOntri-
butes more to the prosperity and we'll
being of a state, county, city, town OF
village than lots of people.
1t is true that some folks have an
idea that too many people in given
area is a disadvantage; but that is a
most serious mistake. No country in
all the history of the world has ever
suffered from over population, and
there is less danger of such a thing
now than there has ever been.
Where people are intelligent, ener-
getic and Industrious, there can be no
limit to their prosperity, and under
such conditions the greater the num-
Der of people. the greater their pros
perity.
Because of peculiar conditions, re-
view of which is not worth while in
this particular connection, York county
has lost many good citizens in the past
These citizens and their descendants
are scattered all over the Union, some
getting along nicely and others not do
ing so well. But the conditions that
induced most Of those who have left to
go elsewhere exist no longer, and in
the case of most of them, as well as OF
their descendants the best thing they
can do is to return.
1t has been demonstrated during the
past ten years that there is unlimited
opportunity throughout York county
for twice or three times as many peo-
pie as are now living in this territory
and people who will study the matter
carefully ought to be able to see that
they can use their influence and per-
suasion in no better way than to get
the people who have gone away to come
back
York county needs more people. She
needs them in the country, in the
towns and in the villages. She needs
them for her own benefit and for the
benefit of the people themselves, and
while her own children are preferable
to strangers, if she cannot get her own
children to return in sufficient num-
bers, she should exert herself to Sc
sure the best possible material To he
had from among strangers.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

In the case of the County Board Of
Commissioners of York county against
Mrs. Kate J. Hutchison, the jury found
for the plaintiff, awarding the defend
ant the sum Of $66.67. This case grew
out of condemnation proceedings in
stituted by the county board of COM
missioners to secure a right of way
for a public road through lands of the
defendant. The defendant sought to
enjoin the proceedings, but failed in
the circuit court and in the supreme
court She claimed that the changing
Of the road damaged her property ma
terially, and it was for that reason that
she would not consent to sell the right
of way. The commissioners valued
the land at 800 an acre and proposed
to pay $66.67 for the two-thirds of an
acre required by the right of way. The
case was presented to the jury In full
and comprehensive manner, but the
jury, after full consideration decided
that no damages should he awarded
The costs, of course, are to he taxed

The only case tried yesterday was
that of ]. f. Lowry vs. the York
Banking and Mercantile Co. The issue
involved the construction of contract
that the nlaintiff had with laborer on
his farm. Defendant had seized certain
cotton from the laborer before the
plaintiff had been paid. The contract
was construed in favor Of the plaintiff;
but when it developed that to get at
the exact equities of each in the con-
tention, it would be necessary to sub
nit the matter to a reference, plaintiff
and defendant got together and agreed
upon compromise by which the de-
fendant is to pay the plaintiff the
sum of SIS.

of w. A. Conner VS.. j. L. Bird, a suit
for damages growing out of personal

- Rev. f. NJ. Satterwhite of Sumter,
s. c., conducted services in the York
vile Baptist church on Sunday morn
ing and evening and was greeted by
good congregations at both hours, and
all who met him and heard him
preach express themselves as having
been pleased with the man and i'm
pressed with his message. Mr.. sat
terwhite is a native of Virginia, nut
since his graduation from the Semin-
ary, about twenty-five years ago, has
been serving churches-three in all
I'm the Pee Dee section of this state.
and during the last ten years has been
pastor of the second church. Sumter.
AS the result of the installation of
meters on the feed wires into the res
licences of the members of the town
government who have heretofore been
getting free light from the town, which
installation was made something over
a month ago, the understanding is
that the revenues from electric lights
have been considerably augmented.
Some few years ago as the result OF an
agreement of the members of the town
council, it was decided that each MEM
Der be entitled to monthly minimum Oh
water and light without charge. Later
this privilege was extended to other
members of the town government, and
in the course of time the meters by
which the current was measured were
removed. 1t was quite while before
the situation was generally understood,
but as it began to be understood there
was a crystalliZatiOn of sentiment to the
effect that there was something about
it not exactly right. In the first place,
it would seem that a privilege of this
kind should not he assumed except
with the express approval of the quail
fled voters. There are various good
reasons for this. There is something
undemocratic about the whole idea
something that savors too much OF
special privilege. Then again from
business standpoint it does not appear
that this expense, if it be proper one,
should he borne by the water and light
departments alone. 1t would seem bet
ter, if town officials are to be compen-
stated, that they be compensated in dol
lars and cents. and in a business like
way. The whole idea of free light and
free water is wrong The recent install
lation of meters as described 80 as
to measure the minimum agreed upon
will be accepted as temporary re-
form. and will afford some degree OF
satisfaction; but the trouble complain
ed of has not been corrected yet. The
same kind of agreement that is sup
f,..... # a
monthly minimum of light and water
can also be made to cover an unlimited
quantity and such an agreement, If the
principle is allowed to prevail, Will
surely come in the future. If the MEM
bers of the town government are to be
paid, they should he paid stipulated
amount i'm cash. otherwise the pres
ent arrangement is going to he source
of future trouble.

Tuesday and that the executive, legis-
lative and judicial appropriation bill
will he brought in on Thursday. Chair
man Tawney has promised Speaker
Cannon and the Republican whip,
Dwight, that he can report others of
the big supply bills as rapidly as the
house can handle them. The rush of
these measures through the house at
the instigation of the administration to
open the field for the presidents legis-
lativa programme, promises to break
all records. At the same time there
seems to be an impression among
members that the session will prove
barren of results so far as general leg
islation is concerned. Much opposition
is developing against the passage of
bill at this session To provide for d re-
apportiOnment based upon the thir-
teenth census. II this measure should
go over until the next session, as the
situation would seem to indicate, some
interesting debates would result. Re-
apportionment legislation, as a rule,
offers political advantages to the party
in power, but next session the house
will be Democratic and the senate Re-
publican and many members think that
it would he impossible to pass law
under such conditions unless it con-
tanned a large element of fairness to
both parties.
