Visions of empire have seized the
new British king, who, not content
with being crowned only at Westmins-
ter like his predecessors since Henry
VI. retired discounted in the fif-
teenth century from France, where
The English kings had claimed sover-
eighty, proposes to be crowned en-
peror Of India at Delhi in 1912, and
there Queen Mary, the ambitious one,
will be hailed empress of India, with
imperial circumstance and pomp. So
far, then, from witnessing the ascen-
dancy of democracy in Great Britain,
we observe the growth of Imperialism,
says the Detroit News. No longer is
King George to be content with empty
titles of empire, attainable by mere
kings, but he will be crowned king of
kings, like the shahs and caliphs,
khans and maharajahs, and all the
splendid potentates Of the Orient

Potash salts Of many kinds were
imported into the United States from
Germany last year and to the value of
$11,000,000. Yet as far as the German
supply is concerned, it is said that the
present rate of demand upon the great
potash salts are used for many pur-
ought to last for 100000 years. These
potash salts are used for many pur-
poses in this country-in gold mining,
glassmaking, soap-making, bleaching,
dyeing, in photography and medicine,
in the man manufacture of explosives
and for fertilizers In recent years
there have been attempts to discover
potash in paying quantities in the
western desert portions of the United
States.

OAz FLEES MEXICO
FEEBLE FROM ILLNESS FORMER
RULER OF REPUBLIC BE-
COMES A FUGITIVE.
SPAIN is TO BE HIS HAVEN
Accompanied by Few Friends Fallen
Chief Creeps Secretly from Palace
and Starts for Vera Cruz-Madero
Resigns Provisional Presidency.

Mexico City.-Porf1rio Diaz, for
whom during thirty years all Mexico
has stood to one side, hat in hand,
stole from the capital with the great
est of secrecy and, with few de-.
voted friends whom he dared trust,
started for Vera Cruz.
The blood poison and the fever that
had kept Diaz a prisoner in the ma
tional palace are not abated But
there is torture more pungent than
that of the body. Diaz, still president
and still hoping against hope that
he would be able to resist the demand
for his resignation, could not be con-
quered by mere physical pain. But
Diaz DISPOSED is Diaz broken in spir-
it, unable 70 witness the triumph OF
his enemies.
So on the day following his resigna-
ton, with the cheers for his success
sors De la Barra and Madero, the
former just taking the oath as pro-
visional president ringing through the
streets, he crept like badger evicred
from his hole, out into the country,
slowly, sorrowfully away.
Only Sonora Diaz and few of the
ultra-faithful accompany the former
president. AS understood here the
party will go to Vera Cruz and en-
bark there as exiles for Spain.
Diaz had hoped, at least to end his
days in Mexico. Madero declared
with Diaz in the country permanent
peace would not be possible. So he
is gone from a wondering people
never to return.
In Mexico City the feeling is one OF
relief tinged with just bit of sorrow
The country is free-free as 1t never
has been before in all it's history. But
with all his tyranny, even the most
radical patriot is compelled to admit,
now he is gone, that Diaz accom-
plished a great work in Mexico.
Ell Paso, Mex.-Francisco l. Madero,
insurrecto president of Mexico, re-
signed following the resignation OF
Porfirio Diaz as president of Mex
leo. He issued a manifesto renounc-
ing the title of president of the pro-
visional government and explaining
the peace terms reached between
| himself and the federals. He ex-
presses the utmost confidence in
Francisco de Ia Barra while he holds
the office of temporary president, and
says the insurrecto troops are at the
disposal of De la Barra in enforcing
| peace.
| Madero said he did not enforce all
| demands that he and his party de-
| clared for at San Luis Potosi last
| November, when he said all governors
must be swept aside because he had
a chance now to get peace by accept
ing more than half the governorships
and he considered this agreeable, and
especially since the designations OF
Diaz and Corral have been rendered
and new elections were assured,
Asked if he would announce his
| candidacy for the presidency Of Mex
| leo Madero said that he would not;
| that such thing was not considered
proper in his country, but his
friends would advance his name at
the proper time.
The Inauguration of De la Barra as
provisional president was brief al
fair, occupying only ten minutes.

Great Loss 80 the South.

DR.. Seaman A. Knapp died at his
home in Washington on last Satur-
day. While his death is great loss
to the whole country, it is greater
loss to the South than any other Sec
ton, and a. greater loss to South Car
olina than any other State. He did
a great work for this State, and MS
death will be regretted all over it.
Long ago, as The State says, it was
"discerned that the shortest route to
the South's industrial independence
and the permanent prosperity of Its
agricultural people lay in diversified
farming, but the task of convincing
them of that truth was far from easy.
DR.. Knapp, as the officer in charge OF
the farm demonstration of the Ma
tional department Of agriculture,
came to their aid at the opportune
moment. A man Of wide information
and profound thinker, he believed
in the South, saw plainly the richness
of it's unused resources and set to
work with his whole heart to reveal
them to the Southern people. North
ern born, his sympathies were as
wide as humanity and his aim was
20 help the Southern farmers help
themselves so that the country that
he loved would be the stronger ana
happier by reason of the lifting of
the people of great section to a
higher and better plane. The work
that he did will 60 on and the South
will not forget how much he inspired
it and cherished it and the affection
of the South for the Republic is the
deeper by reason of the disinterested
efforts Of this one of the Republics S
faithful servants"

Keep the Record Straight.

Some newspaper attributes the
loss of the power of the press to the
editors riding or tickets paid for in
advertising instead of cash. We
have seen it stated that the pulpit,
too, is losing its power. Wonder If
the riding of the preachers on clergy
mems tickets have anything to do
with the pulpit's losing power?-Or-
aneburg Times and Democrat.
Not altogether correct; the "some
newspaper" attributed the loss OF
power of the press in some measure
to editors riding on "free passes y
You have seen it stated no doubt
that black is white, or something
equally as absurd. But the pulpit IS
not losing it's power; and "clergy-
mems tickets" are not free passes.-
Newberry Observer.
We have seen it stated time ano
again that the power Of the pulpit
has declined and that there has been
great falling; off of men in attend
ance on the preached word. We have
sen both these statements made, and
the fact deplored, in religious news
papers. But we are glad to know
that the pulpit IS not losing its pow
er, and hope that The Observer has
sure ground for its statement to that
effect.

Are Young People Deteriorating?

Whether the moral stamina OF
young people is or is not declining
is a question being freely discussed
in some quarters. Vt is one of those
questions upon which there may be
a wide yet honest difference of opin-
ion. Many people enamored Of the
past and recalling the days o. their
own childhood, will probably say
that the children o. a former genera
ton led healthier lives and possessed
stronger moral fiber til N do the
young people of today. In Line with
that they will glorify the virtues OF
their forefathers and laud the Spar
tan simplicity of their lives.
On the other hard there are tios'
who are just as strongly convinced
that in almost every way the young
people of the present age are super
ior to those of bygone generations,
and that in moral standard and car
pacity, and in willingness to endure
and work far better. They ground
their argument on the belief that the
young people of today lead more nat
ural lives and are in closer and more
intimate touch with actual conditions
of life, and that those conditions de-
mand and produce greater moral sta
nina.
Probably the ,truth lies midway be-
tween the two extremes. Those who
assert that the young people of today
are deteriorating morally, that they
are mentally flabby, and shirk hard
things may point with much effect to
the young men and women in So
called society. And in truth it must
be confessed that great material sue
cess is sadly emery ,ting to many peo-
pie. But it is also true that the in-
centive to work and that the capacity
to withstand temptations and take
unflinchingly the hard knocks of bus
mess aud other life was never great
er than 1t is today.

No Need For War.

We believe the time is coming,
and is not very far off, when the
principle which applies in private life
that the disputes between individuals
must be legally settled and not by
violence, will te applied to nations
in their disputes with each other. 1t
is a large blot upon out civilization
that nations a.e armed to the teeth
to protect themselves against the en-
croachments o. their neighbors, or
to serve their own purpose in taking
a favorable time to coerce weaker
powers. Fortunately the signs are
multiplying that the masses, who
have to be"r the great burden OF
taxation, are growing restless and
that unless r&trenchment Of arma,
ments speedily comes, internal revo-
luton" as Sir Edward Gray pre-,
diets, will be the order of the day
and after much tribulation and blood
shed settle the question for all time
to come. There is no need for wal
and it should be banished from the
