4 us face. Mr.. Fulton's evidence of Vir-

But having n just claim and salts

If the State is really to press this
claim. 1t would be well to review the
whole of Virgina's Revolutionary ac-
counts. This State was the most gem
erous of all In advancing funds to Con-
gress during the Revolution. and the
most negligent Of all in pressing her
demand when Hamilton's broad fnan-
cial policy gave every opportunity. a
vigilant search of our old Auditors
books may disclose other little items
that will make our State debt look
>like bagatelle.
THE ",TITLE" TO THE CHILDREN.
Young Ben Tilman has decided" his
two children to their grandfather. the
senator. on the ground that their
mother Is incompetent to bring them
UP and he is unwilling to assume the
responsibility. Mrs. Tillman, .Ir.. is
suing for their recovery in the SUI
preme Court of South Carolina. SEN
ator Tillman. interviewed in Washing
ton. says that young Mrs. Tillman
has been told by eminent counsel
that she cannot recover the Children"
the reason being that under the South
carolina law father may deed away
ms offspring for the good of the chill
dren. Apparently 1t Will be necessary
to convince the court in this case that
The transfer was for their good But
who can wonder that Intelligent wo-
non complain OF the Inequality ana |
of such law as this? The
ffther and the mother are co-parents
of the children. and they should be CO.
owners with equal "title"-this word
goes properly with "deed"-and rights
OF possession. But laws of the South
Carolina sort--and there are many
give the mother no title whatever, and
make the father sole owner and guar
dian. Yet the mother love is usually
stronger than the father love. and her
competency to bring up children is
usually greater than his.
If women were given the vote in
South Carolina this unjust statute
would be promptly repealed. as a
similar statute was repealed when
women got the vote In Colorado In
edualities in the laws. backed by the
knowledge that the vote would cure
them, furnish most of the backbone
to the equal rights movements. in
which some profess to See nothing but
vague feministic discomfort.

| The Republican newspapers over

They point with pride to reduction

The brethren overlook some very
important facts.
The direct state tax this year Is Ave

one-haif AS claimed, there being one
cent levy to maintain that splendid
galaxy Of political favorites, headed by
Charley Light, have brought about
such marked Improvement In the pub

now in worse condition than ever be-
fore and the cost of s'maintaininsn
them has grown enormously.

The rate Of six cents last year ard
five and one half cents this year IN an
increase ever the rate for the years
Immediately previous.
The criminal costs, the costs Of
maintaining insane persons and per-
sons in the fetormatory institutions
aud many other costs that were for
meriy borne by the state, have been
saddled upon the counties With the re-
suit that county expenditures and
necessarily county taxation has been
increased.
Finally the brethren conveniently
forget the solemn pledge that was
made by the Republican i rty In the
w lcCiiuk tOslN pNSi STA
years ago, TO remove the direct tax in
its entirely. Never was a party pledge
more flagraaily viola,ei than was
this. License taxes have been In
creased tremendously, and new direct
taxation has been created, OH the plea
that this must be done in order that
the direct taxation may be removed;
yet there IL 10 indication that the par
ty has any intention to carry out now,
or any future time, its direct pledge
made to the people Of the state, and
proclaimed IN every stump speech Of
the last two campaigns.
These are but few Of the many
instances Of the duplicity Of the Re-
publican brethren when they go TO
arguing their splendid "tax reduce
