Mary'S Lamb to Date.

Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one summer day where lambs should
never go. And Mary sat her quick
ly down, and tears streamed from
her eyes; she never found the lamb
hecause she did not advertise.
And Mary had brother who kept
village store; he sat him down and
smoked pipe, and watched the
open door. And as the people pass
ed along. and did not stop to buy,
John still sat and smoked his pipe
and blinked his sleepy eye. And 50
the sheriff closed him out, but still
ne fingered near, and Mary came
along To drop a sympathetic tear.
How is it sister, can you tell,
why other merchants here, sell all
their goods so readily and thrive
from year to year" Remembering
her own bad luck, the maiden then

then. For the protection Of such per-
sons this law is proposed. 1t may
be a worthy purpose, but we must
assert that the root Of the trouble is
not removed.
This craze TO acquire wealth rapid
ly, making men and women easy prey
to designing Of self-deceived pro-
moters, is nothing new. More than
one striking illustration of how it
works has been given within easy
memory. There were the Kentucky
and Louisian lotteries which -four
ished wonderfully rather more than
a generation ago. Always the ignis
fatuus Of the grand prize led the dupes
Of those institutions into the swamp
Of loss and disappointment Then
they were suppressed with an iron
hand. Presently there was the wild
fever for investment in petroleum
lands. which ragged for a while. and
then subsided, leaving a long train Of
bitter memories. California and Ne
vada mining stocks have had their
day Of lunatic followers, and some are
left over even now. There was the
era of the brood Of serial bond" in
stitutions, Of which the Order Of the
Iron Hall was the sadly lamented
leader-schemes which clear-headed
men denounced from the first but
which none the less allured thousands
of the deluded. and which even found
an ex-governor Of Massachus setts
ready to defend them before a COM
mittee Of the Legislature. These
went their way because of their own
weight, as did the celebrated Mrs.
iowe's bank" Of unsavory memory.
But it has always happened that as
one form Of this fascinati n has dis
appeared another has come up to
take its place. Warning, ridicuIe. ex-
posure, experience, even the construc-
ton OF new laws, seem to accomplish
little toward Iessening the array of
dupes. The root Of the trouble is in
a state Of the mind, for which law
certainly is not an effective remedy.

Committee Reporting on Judgeship
Matter Violated Law, Says BIease.

Columbia, Feb. Ex-Governor Cole
Blease today in a statement to the

going to let the special Judgeship
matter rest where it now is. He sent
yesterday a special message to the
General Assembly in which. follow

stands by his guns" as the saving
goes. In the meantime the Senate
judiciary committee has made no
report to the Senate. Governor
Blease, in his message asks that
something be done.
Today he gave out the following
statement:
The judiciary committee violated
the Constitution and statutes by hav-
ing on their subcommittee brother
Of a Justice Of the Supreme Court.
The other two members are known of
all men to be two of my bitterest enc
mics, and, Of course, from them I
could expect nothing. l have asked
the Legislature TO do something and
if they don't I shall meet the issue
fair and square"
Governor Blease's reference to the
composition Of the House sub-iudic-
iary committee is to Mr. Frank b.
Gary of Abbeville, who is a brother
of Associate Justice Eugene B. Gary,
OF the Supreme Court Bench. The
subcommittee report was presented
by Mr.. II. X. Osborne.
The Senate judiciary committee has
made no report to the Senate. The
committee had a report drafted but
did not present it. The chairman.
