asked as to how this might
work when applied to women and
girls, who might be subjected to
hardships they were powerless to
avoid, the Governor stated that they
did not have to work under these
conditions, as there was plenty OF

The foregoing excerpt from the
interview between the Secretary
of the Columbia Federation OF
Trades and Governor Blease (which
is published in full elsewhere in

Antoinette's cynical remark when
told that her subjects were crying
for bread. "Oh, well, let them
cat cake" was the misguided
Queens reply, as we recall 1t.

the present conditions we would

Certain editors that are con-
stantly sneering at the newspa-
pers" and impugning their mo-
tives appear to forget that they
themselves belong to that desplsed
class, and their shafts tipped
with venom but recoil upon them
selves. As a rule the editors OF
newspapers in this State express
their honest opinions, unawed
by influence or unbribed by gain"
yet we fear there are some, who
while the demagogue is tempo
rarily in the saddle, will crook
the pregnant hinges of the knee
that thrift may follow fawning,' y
even to the extent OF belittling
the power of the great vocation
they are supposed to represent.

Governor Blease has vetoed the
act relating to Informed counties

doubtless still contend that he

WOULD STOP:THE p.
Well Merited Rebuke Admins.
tered by Famous| Editor.

The following Aoft-repeated anec-
dote concerning Horace Greeley. the
brilliant editor, who made the New
York Tribune famous, touches a
sympathetic chord in the heart of
every newspaper editor, especially
the country editor, who, dependent
largely upon the dollars gathered
on subscription for the mainte-
nance of his business is often con-
fronted with the egotistical sub
scriber who seems to fancy. that his
dollar keeps the business going fol-
at least six months of the year, sand
when he determines to withdraw
his financial support from the paper
he sees in his minds eye the entire
edifce- building, presses and all
crumbling to ruins amid a crush
of matter and wreck of worlds, 80
far as the unfortunate editor and
his microcosm is concerned, at any
rate.
AS the story goes, Mr.. Greeley was
one day stopped on the street by an
irate subscriber and the following
dialogue ensued:
Mr. Greeley after that article you
published this morning, l intend to
stop your paper"
"Oh, no." said Mr. Greeley, don't
do that. -
"Yes, sir, my mind is made up; /
intend to stop the paper"
The angry subscriber was not to
be appeased, and they separated.
Late in the afternoon the two met
again, when Mr. Greeley remarked:
Mr. Thompson, l am very glad
you did not carry out your threat
this morning"
What do you mean ?"
why, you said you were going
to stop my paper, didn't you ?"
And 50 l did. l went to the Of
flee and had your paper stopped"
you are surely mistaken. |
have just come from there, and the
press was running, and business
was booming"
Sir" said Thompson, very
pompously, Il meant intended to
stop my subscription to the paper.
"Oh, thunder" rejoined Greeley,
Il thought you were going to stop
the running of my paper, and knock
me out of a living. My friend, let
me tell you something. One man
is just one drop of water in the.
ocean. You didn't set the machin-
cry of this world in motion and you
can't stop it; and when you are un-
derneath the ground it will still be
running"

KINGSTREE-THE GATEWAY
TO OPPORTUNITY.
THURSDAY, MAR. 2. 1911.
What Can We Do?

One Of the most difficult and
perplexing problems we have to
contend with is how to get our
papers delivered after they are
printed and put in the postoffice.
If one-half the complaints we re-
ceive are justifiable our postal
service must be poorest to be
found in any civilized a country.
The worst of it is we are. pow
trless to remedy the evil. If it
were one or two offices, some
thing might be done, but when
complaints come in every week
by the dozen, what are we to do?
The whole systcm--or lack OF
system-seems to he inefficient,
in some places almost worthless;
such conditions as our Andrews
correspondent complains of, for
instance.
We mail the papers usually
Thursday afternoon-rarely ever
later than Friday afternoon. Yet
complaints come frequently that
subscribers, liring on line Of ruil-
scay in the county, do not get
their papers till the following
Monday.
We can well understand and
sympathize with the subscriber
who pays for the paper and fails
to get it regularly. He naturally
places 1.-THE fault upon us, attrl-
buting it to our carelessness or
indifference. But put yourself in
our place for an instant. There
is work and worry enough in
getting out the sheet without the
added responsibility of delivering
it. When it comes to that we
are absolutely powerless. All we
can do is to print the paper and
put it in the postofice. That
we regret the conditions complain
ed about goes without saying;
sometimes We feel that our labor
is almost thrown away. We can only
ask our subscribers not to CEN
sure us too severely for something
we cannot help, yet we cannot
blame anvone for not wanting
the paper after the contents be-
ONE stale. If there were. any

Quezon's plans. In order to send the
Filipino on his long journey across the

Palabay, according to the Health Of

Moved by pity for the young Filipino,
stricken with a dread disease and wear

UPON THRESHOLD
Of WHITE HOUSE
Senator MARITIME and Jersey
Delegation Call on the
President.
JUDGE EMORY TALKS
OVER COURT PLACE
Quiet Day Spent by Chief Execu-
tive, With But Few
Callers.

The Woodrow Wilson Presidential
boom was given additional impetus to-
day. and on the very threshold of the
White House, too, when Senator Mar
tine of New Jersey, and a delegation
Of Jerseyites called upon President Taft
and paid their respects.
In the party were State Senators,
prominent attorneys, leading Democratic
editors, and Governor Wilson's private
secretary. Their leader and governor
being out West whooping things up, the
Jersey Democrats came over from their
State to be the guests at dinner of
Senator MARITIME, and, incidentally, to
stir up little more sentiment for the
nomination of Wilson.
State Senator Harry Osborne, of New
ark. who happens to represent the big
gest constituency of any State sena-
tor In the United States, was the spokes-
man of the party. OF course, Senator
MARITIME did the introducing, but 1t was
the younger statesman who revealed
the real true feelings of the visitors.
Boom Wilson.
I'VE are for Governor Wilson for the
Presidency, and We have not hesitated
to proclaim our sentiments in the Ex-
ecutive Office itself. When the country
knows our man as we who worked with
him and aided him in his reforms know
him, the country will respond to his
candidacy as to that of no other man
In history"
Senator MARITIME entertains the same
views He said that New Jersey would
furnish the next Presidential candidate
on the Democratic ticket and the next
President of the United States. Presi-
dent Taft welcomed the visitors, but did
not seem perturbed over their hopeful
ness: Those in the party were Joseph
tary; Judge Peter Daley. State Sena-
tor Harry Osborne, James Karney, J. b.
Cannon, Alexander Simpson, George
Cutley, and Col. Ralph Dorges.
Senator Burnham of New Hampshire
today introduced Judge Samuel Emory,
of Boston, to the President. He talked
over with the Executive the vacancy in
the First United States circuit, caused
by the death Of Judge Lowell. There
still remains a strong impression that
the President will promote Judge Dodge,
Of the district court, to the circuit, and
appoint a new man to the vacancy in
the lower court.
Another Judgeship.
There is another United States Judge
ship which is giving the President some
bother. This is the vacancy about to
occur in South Carolina. Representa-
tive Burns of that State talked with the
President for half an hour this morning
about the matter. The impr ession is
that q Democrat will be named for this
5udgeship. though no announcement of
the Presidents purposes has yet been
made.
