DIR. T. II. Dreher.

Last Wednesday the writer enjoyed
a spin over about 25 miles of good
roads with Dr.. T. H. Dreher in that
genial gentleman's "dandy'' little
Buick auto. Dr. Dreher, by the way,
is just about the choicest kind of a
companion for such trip. AS an au
toist he has not reached the "fend"
stage of the disease, and he has the
good manners to let the other fellow
talk some, both very desirable quail
ties, since the nervous young news
paper man had no desire to climb
trees, telegraph poles or high en-
bankments, or to pick himself from
among the bushes by the wayside, and
since he had a few things to get off
his mind. DR.. Dreher keeps close tab
On politics in the State and has some
very decided opinions about things in
general, and others in particular,
none of which will be recited here.
Further, he is thoroughly conversant
with all classes Of good literature and
his observations on almost any sub
ject call into play an enviable knoWl-
edge gained through years Of study
the expression long years of study"
was purposely avoided, owing to the
fact that the doctor is still a young
man, despite the misleading absence
of hirsute adornment to his dome of
thought. With such company, travel
ing decently in a good machine, over
coed. roads, on fine day, the trip
could be nothing else but enjoyable.
DR.. Dreher has many friends in
Newberry who We know will read the
above pleasant notice with interest. |
Het was for several years professor
at Newberry college, of which insti-
tuition he is an alumnus, and many Of
US remember very pleasantly the eX-
cellent and forcible address which he !
delivered during the commencement |
exercises last year.

DR.. C. F. Williams, who has re-
signed as secretary of the State board
Of health, has done a great work for
the Office during his term Of only four
years, and it is great pity that there
is not sufficient funds available to in
duce DR.. Williams to remain in this
work. He has done possibly more
than any other one man in the State
in the matter of handling contagious
and infectious diseases and informing
the people as to preventive measures.

on making this park ready.

hope that those who have not yet sub

I notice that the goats are still
roaming the streets with dignity
that is commendable, and they really
have an air of superiority and au-
thority and ownership that makes one
hesitate to ask them out of his front
yard even if the grass does not need
moving Now, I have often wondered
why the members of the First Bap-
tist church did not invite these lawn
mowers to spend few hours, or
even weeks, if they had time, in the
plot lust to the west side of their
beautiful church.

THE IDLER,

I have been holding my breath and
my pencil, too. But, my, amt that
fellow Bill Ewart helping out my
park. If these old fellows in town
who have the money don't see the
point they must be past recall.
And yet, when I look over the sub
scription list, as printed in The Her.
aid and News, I am persuaded that
We will have to call on the little fel-
lows and keep on calling on them
until We find about one thousand. And
believe they are here. Suppose We
make a peoples park out of it. Well,
it is coming. The park idea is TAX
ing all over the country nov and ev-
cry town of any consequence is max
ing arrangements to build a park, if
there is not one already, and The Id
ler's park for Newberry is a dead sure
thing.

didn't tell you why I was holding
my breath and my pencil as well. I
wanted to wait until the park asso-
"iation was organized and I wanted to
see it before the spring time came.
Still We can go ahead and get start
ed and when the association is organ
lied and it is settled that the park
is coming, and coming right now,
there will be people all over this
goodly town jumping over one ano-
ther asking the privilege. of having a
part in it. We'll, T say let them come
along. They can't take away from US
the honor of having set the wheels in
motion, and it is results I am work
ing for, and not honor or credit. I am
too old for that now, and, in fact, too
old to get much personal enjoyment
out of the park, but the satisfaction of
knowing that I have been instrument
tai in small way of making others
happy will be joy enough for an old
person.

there near the union station-and it
is still--that is it don't moVe-see the
point, now, I hope. Well, is there no
remedy, even for that yawning prec1-
pice. I have a suggestion-an idea
a remedy-suppose We move the un-
ion depot down at the crossing IN
Caldwell street-thare is where It
should be any way-and then we will
not run a risk of having some visit
or injured or killed by falling over

Then, too, you would have the depot

By the way, I see from the papers
that they came very close to three
automobile accidents in one week in
Newberry. And the stop signs have
been put up, and the editor says that
the officials are anxious to have the
drivers of cars observe the law That
is all very nice, but the law is made
for people to observe it, and if they
won't, why, we'll, it seems to me that
it is then up to the officers to See and
to do; if not why not? Will some one
please tell me?

By the way, walked around town
a little the other day. can't ride as
have no chauffeur-and none of those
who have chauffeurs will be so good
as to ask me to ride with them, and
I see them every day with vacant
seats and I am so tired, but nary in
vitation do I get-well, it is all right
for 7 am sorter afraid of some of
them anyhoW-but I started to say
that I walked around town little the
other day-the weather was so lovely
and I was SO surprised to note so
many fine fields of cotton and corn
right here in the city. I see Demon
strator Duncan in town now and
again and I suppose he has worked
up some demonstration acres in the
city limits. I guess it is good thing,
but, you know, I would rather see
some of our city residents giving
some attention to flower gardens and
lawns and leave the growing of cotton
and corn to our farmer friends in the
country. But maybe I am wrong.

CALLS TREATY WORTHLESS
Writer Says Arbitration Pact Is at
Variance with Constitution.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your very able editorial in The
Tribune of August s. relative to the arbi-
tration treaties, II strikes me that you and
many other editors discussing this subject
have faile6 30 note a very decided and grave
objection % these treaties. For myself !
cannot understand how President Taft and
Secretary Knox. both distinguished consti-
utional lawyers, can reconcile the proyis-
ions Of the entire treaty-and especially
those prov i.ions Of Article III OF the same
with a certain provision OF Section Of
Article | Of the federal Constitution.

ion as Ia the proprety and even the con-

that the shin was strongest which had
tie most powerful guns. Our ordnance
experts are now. as they believe, peilect'
ing 1G-inch guns. The Dreadnought ana
the Utah carry Pinch guns. obviously
a shin with 16-inch guns would he far
superior 70 one with Pinch guns. If,
therefore. 16-inch guns are found To De
practicable the rule of efficiency VIII
require that we have ships capable OF
carrying them. That is To say. the pri-
mary and fundamental problem is TO
provide the most powerful guns. Then
comes the secondary problem OF proVld-
ing ships to carry those guns. The snip
is made for the guns, not the guns Tor
the ship.
The question is. then. what ship Is
required TO carry with proper stability
and endurance a battery of 16-inch guns
II is obvious that vessel which might
be sufficient for battery of 1O-inch or
12-inch guns might he altogether made
duate TO the proper carrying and use or
n similar number of 16-inch guns, with
the greater weight of guns and dmmunl-
ton and the greater strain of shock ana
recoil upon the structure of the snip.
We may grant that ship should be as
small and as swift as possible, so long
as it is stable and strong enough to carry
the guns But smallness is not the
desideratum nor the criterion, but rather
ability TO carry the guns. That is the
essential thing. Our ships must he as
large and as heavy as may be necessary
for that.
The one qualification Of that principle
is. of course. the practical limitations OF
size which are imposed Ivy Interchangeable
conditions of navigation. And so we
reach the converse of the principle al
ready set down, TO the effect that the
size of guns must ultimately be deter
mined by the size of the ship which VIII
he required for them. There would be
no use in making guns so large that
slips could not carry them. But for
some time TO come the question OF IN
creased efficiency will relate 10 guns
rather than 10 ships. for there is more
doubt of the practicability of bigger
guns than there is of bigger ships.

For 4 while there was a disposition

RAIN AND WATER SUPPLY.

The rains of the last few days have IA
vorably affected the clty's water supply
in the Croton Valley. At first no increase
of supply was perceptible. because the
dry ground absorbed practically all the
precipitation and let none of it. run
into the streams and lakes. But as soon
as the ground became measuraby
soaked part OF the further rainfall
flowed into the streams and reservoirs,
with the welcome effect of slightly rails
ing their level. The level is still far too
low for comfort. but il is more likely to
rise than to fall. for the period of au-
tumnal rains is now at hand.
This partial relief with reasonable
promise of more. from what a week ago
seemed 10 he an acute crisis will be
received with gratitude by city officials
aud 10y the public. There will rest upon
the former. however, the responsibility
OF deciding whether il is safe To trust
70 this actual and prospective improve
mcnt Of conditions. or whether the emer-
gcncy operations which were seriously
considered few days ago should be
proceeded with. II would not he de-
Sirablc To spend large sum Of money
on temporary works and then find that
they were not needed Yet il would he
UNNECESSARILY worse to trust TO INSULT
Gent promises and thus incur the calam-
ity of actual famine. The responsibility
Of making that decision is serious one
and is not to he lightly dismissed.
There is. however one essential point
upon which no decision is needed since
there is no doubt. That t. the deSira-
hility of continuing unabated the efforts
10 stop leaks and 10 prevent needless
waste. If il shall he Judged that there
is no need of securing an emergency
supply from Ten Mile River. the Hud-
son or elsewhere. that fact will not in
the slightest degree warrant remission
Of those efforts. but Will rather en-
phasize and confirm the necessity of
prosecuting them with all possible eff
cheney. If by good luck or beneficent
providence the city is saved from the
distress and disaster which have long
threatened it.. there is still compelling
reason for reforming the wastefuf and
improvident habits To which that men-
ace was largely due.
