The Democrat-NeWs Of Warren
Ark, tells of a distinguished
honor that has been recently con-
ferred upon Maj. D. A. Bradham,
son of Mr.. ". J. Bradham of this
county. Governor Donaghy has
appointed Major Bradham a
member Of the State Board of Ed
ucatlon which has general super
vision of the public school sys-
tenn of Arkansas, formulate the
course Of study, direct the certif-
ications of teachers, grant state
wide licenses and recognize the
degrees of colleges. The board
will have power to grant charac-
tiers to colleges, and it has charge
of the apportionment Of the
school fund. The paper goes on
to say:
sit is considered by the friends OF Mr..
Bradham that Governor Donaghy has
shown marked recognition of his ability
by placing him on this board which will
be the head Of the educational system
of the state and in many ways, and one
of the most important boards in the
state"

The TINES has received a re-
quest from a party in Abbeville
to publish a series Of letters for
him in defense of Governor
Blease, and his administration.
This newspaper does not feel it
is its duty to devote space to
those who wish to defend, or
take a shot at the governing
powers. especially, does it not
care to lend it's space for views
airing to persons living in an
other county. If the person de-
string to use the colums of this
newspaper cannot be accommo-
dated at home then there must
be something in the nature of a
reason. No, Mr. Citizen of
Abbeville. we have enough to
do with our own affairs without
taking on editorial cares.

IF CONGRESS- remains in session

If congress remains in session
much longer the political pro.
fessionals Of both parties will
have to go ouy Of business, and
the s'heelers" will be driven to
honest labor. The senate has
passed without debate a measure
which makes it unlawful for a
candidate for the United States
senate or lower house of repre-
sentatiyes to spend more in his
election. for both the primary
and the general election, than
the sum Of ten cents for each
voter. The purpose beng to
put a stop to the use of money
in these elections, but IN our
opinion it is a piece of legislative
hypocrisy, and would be better
styled IAN Act to create peri u
rers in high places. 1t is the
veriest kind Of bosh to fool the
masses, and both parties are
guilty.

Senator E. D. Smith enter
tanned the senate last Thursday
with a speech on the reciprocity
bill which was pending, and it
is said to be the best speech he
has delivered since coming into
congress, not only so, he inter
viewed the Secretary of Agri-
culture with regard to the giving
out estimates of the cotton crop
to the detriment Of the cotton
growers. Secretary Wilson in
formed him the estimate was
without sanction of law, that if
it did come from any of his dlvi-
sions, it was the first time and
that it would be the last time it
would occur. When the cotton
situation is touched Smith is al.
ways on the job.

INTENTIONALLY TRcKED OLD LADY.

The State supreme court has
recently fled a decision in a case
of Hon. P. Il. Gadsden involv-
ing his profession conduct, and
while the court does not make
an order disbaring this promi-
nent attorney. it looks to a lay
man as confirming the action of
the lower court in thesallegation
that Gadsden took advantage OF
an old lady to secure fer a trife,
an assignment of her interest in
a valuable estate. The case it.
self has been settled, out as Mr..
Gadsden had been severely critl-
clsed by Judge Robert Aldrich:
and the criticism is a public
record, Mr.. Gadsden asked the
supreme court to pass upon the
matter. The result is disap'
pointing to many of Mir. Gads-
den's friends throughout the
State-the court has damned him
with faint praise. The decision,
if reported correctly will not
add anything to the honor of a
lawyer who has been rated
among the foremost in the State,
and while there does not seem
to be anything in the evidence
going to show that he was per-
sonally benefited by the trans
action, yet it will be hard to con-
vince the public mind to the
contrary. Personally the writer
has a high regard for Mr.. Gads-
den, and waited for the outcome
of the decision in the hope that
he would receive from this trlou-
nal a complete exoneratlon.

The penitentiary board of d.
rectors are square up against the
governor in the matter of abol-
ishin@ the hosiery mill at the
penitentiary, in this they have
the legal advice OF the attorney
general. The governor has had
reported to him by she State
Board of Health that the hosiery
mill is unsanitary and dangerous
to the health Of those who are
forced to work therein, upon
this report the governor has de.
manded that the mill be abolish.
ed but, as with every step Of
reformation he has undertaken.
obstructlons are put in the way
and it remains to be seen the
result of this latest conflict be.
tween the executive and the
subordinates departments OF the
State government. It will be
recalled that some time ago the
governor was so much in earnest
about this hosiery mill PROPOSE
ton that he intimated to the
directors it they did not relieve
conditions which he regarded a
humanity demand, be would re-
lieve it. this has been constued
to mean he would pardon those
who work in that mill. and ever
since the directors have refused
to comply with the governors
demand, certain newspapers are
twitting the governor to made
good his threat. practically dar-
ing him to do so.
We have no idea the governor
meant to create the impression
that he would open the gates Of
the penitentiary to some two or
three vicious convicts that may
be confined at hard labor IN the
hosiery mill, we cannot conceive
how any man of ordinary com
mon sense could take the posi-
ton that unless his will is ac-
ceded to he will rule or ruin.
No. Governor Blease may make
mistakes, we are sure he has,
but such d mistake would not
enter his mind for moment.
Did he however, permit this con.
fict with the directors to pro-
woke him to do the State such
an injustice the people would
condemn him in no uncertain
way.
Governor Blease has demon
strated in q number Of ways that
he is the governor, there are no
other behind the throne, that he
is not afraid Of the effect upon
his future political interests or
aspirations is certain, for he
strikes from the shoulder, even
his bitterest enemies cannot but
admire this trait in his charac-
ter. at the same time should be
mistake 'sbullheadedness" for
bravery, and turn loose by the
wholesale a lot of convlcts be-
cause the board of directors will
not see the conditions as he
does, it would play right square
into the hands of his enemies
who are anxiously waiting to
profit by his mistakes.

HAS TAFT SACRIFICED.

The reciprocity bill, the spec
ial pet Of President Taft, has at
last been adopted by the Con-
gress, to become effective as soon
as the Canadian parliment agrees
with it's provisions: should the
government across the Niagara
decline to the terms, and reject
the overture made by the United
States, all this political sweating
in Washington will have been
time spent for naught. Reciproc-
itv with Canada cannot be regard
ed q Republican measure, al
though it's parent is the Presi
dent who is a Republican, had he
depended upon the members Of
his own party the measure would
have been lost, neither can it be
regarded a Democratic measure
Notwithstanding it received ma
iority of the Democratic vote in
the senate. Bailey of Texas, vot
ed with the Republican majority.
and this vote Of his will have to
be explained to his constituents
who are Democrats. Simmons Of
North Carolina, is in the same
boat, but so far as these Southern
senators are concerned it mat
ters not. the question which does
arise from this vote on the re-
ciprocity legislation IS what ef-
feet is itgoing to have upon Pres
ident Taft for denomination. If
the votes in the senate are an iu
dication Of Republican sentiment
then it is almost sure President
Taft has lost cast with his party,
and in our opinion, he being the
strongest Of his party with the
masses unless he is nominated,
the Democrats will have an easy
time to capture the presidency
next year.
The Republican party at tLis
time seems hopelessly divided,
and it's just the reverse with the
Democrats, they seem to be going
along in solid phalanx, if they
keep up the pace, victory is al
most a certainty.
President Taft may not have
displayed much political sagacity
in making his appointments, and
in his recommendations to con-
gress for legislation, but he has
displayed high order Of patrio-
tic craftsmanship which is indeed
refreshing in these days Of par
tisanship. If Taft loses, ii will lot
be because of a lack Of conf
dence in the man but it lll.be
because a lack of confidence in
his party. 1t is a pity W. Il.
Taft is not a Democrat, for he de-
serves reelection, if being a real
president has merit.

the News and Courier Editor
Lathan's position may be the cor
rect one. but it strikes US as being
rather late for his newspaper to
adopt such a policy. 1t has
the appearance of personal anti
pathy to the governor, especially
so, when it is known that men,
bers Of the News & Courier's staff
have been on the staff of former
governors; we think the editor
Hemphill, formerly Of the News
& Courier, secured his title OF
"Colonel'' by an appointment on
the staff of Governor Hayward.
But then. the News and Courier
was friendly towards the other
governors.

VIE APPROVE BLEASE'S STAND.

The proposition to add a mill
tary feature to the high schools
of this state does not meet with
the approval Of the governor, and
we believe his reasons will meet
with general approval. The con.
ditions in this State differ from
those States where the popula-
tlon is not made up largely of the
negro race, a race which is con-
tented and happy with the whites
so long as it is looked after by
the State, but the moment that
the federal authorities assume
control, there arises an antagon-
ism which becomes more and
more irritated until it reaches an
acute stage. then trouble results.
The military feature in the
schools would not be objection
able could it be absolutely under
the eye of the local authorities
with no interference from some
other source, but it would be a
dangerous experiment to permit
the United States government to
place guns and ammunition into
the hands of school boys.
Then again, thisis nota govern
ment which must be ruled at the
point of the bayonet. Germany
and Russia, and some of the other
European States are so govern
ed, a military service is com
pulsory, but in this land Of the
free it is not desired nor is it nee
essary. The argument is made
that the citizenship Of this coun-
try should be trained for emer-
gencies. that when the necessity
arises the country would be ready,
to our mind this is very incon-
sistent position for the United
States to take at this time when
the President is being praised for
his stand among the nations for
peace. Here we are breathing
peace, and being heralded the
world over as wanting to do away
with war, that our people may
give their attention to the higher
development, and at the same
time urging the teaching Of lin
itarism in our common schools.
If Uncle Sam finds himself up
against an invasion from for
eign foe the American citizen
will, prompted by patriotism, De
found ready and willing to drive
the invader from our land, no in
vasion that has ever been at
tempted has been able to with
stand the valor of American sol
der, not even when the country
was crude and sparsely settled,
therefore we heartily agree with
the governor in his opposition to
having militarism in our public
schools, especially so, if it must
be under the direction and con-
troll of the federal government.

They are building d new court
house at Union. when the work
of tearing down the old building
begun, a rumor got out that
there was some brandy in the
corner stone which had been put
in it in 1925, but no corner stone
could be found. This is not at
all surprising when it is known
that such a thing as real brandy
would not be permitted to stay
out in the cold around a court
house where our friend J. Cor
dan Hughes practices law. He
would seize it if he had to get

why the authorities do not en-
