HORACE GREELEY's 100 YEARS
New York World)

New York World)
To the many persons still living
who remember Horace Greeley as a
daily figure in the life of New York
the one hundredth anniversary of his
birth, which falls on Feb. 3, 1911,
will have a special significance. BY
those of a later generation no less
is tribute due to the memory OF
man who played part as editor,
anti-slavery leader and ardent sup
porter of the Union that made him
one of the leading characters of his
century.
The moral force and energy that
Greeley brought to his work gave
him a personal influence that today
is difficult to appreciate under chang
ed conditions. The blows he struck
for freedom when the fight against
human slavery was doubtful cause
and most needed recruits were the
eADI0ESlOH VI tiloo -
nored popular ill-will and personal
danger He was a dangerous COM
blatant whose conscience told him
that he was right regardless of ma
iorities and minorities, and time and
events have fully justified the en-
lightened doctrines that he preached
with unsparing vehemence.
Merely as the man who brought
about the nomination Of Lincoln,
Greeley would deserve fitting mon
ument. In Journalism, in politics and
in public life he exercised extraordin-
airy power, and in the main that
power was the result of moral ideals
that can never die. 1t Is well that
steps should be taken at once to
bring about fitting observance OF
the centennial of his birth.

suffrage in Colorado has not been
its ample justification?
This record is never considered
by those who are fighting to prevent
equal suffrage in other States. Dis
regardful of facts and figures, pre-
JUDGED scribblers have rushed rough
shod over honor, honesty and decency
in a furious effort to show that equal
suffrage has proved failure in Colo
RADIO. Only the people of the State
can fully appreciate the extremes to
which responsibility falsity and
scurrility have been carried by venal
writer's and speakers.
Articles printed as thoughtful con-
tributions to equal suffrage discus
sion have been written without in
vestigation; and certain TRADE,
soon to appear in a reputable maya
zine, had its fount of information in
the lowest and most discredited ele-
ment of Colorado's political life.
One woman spent two whole days
in Denver, and three whole days in
Colorado Springs, devoting every
minute to accepted social attentions,
and yet her article purported to be
an exhaustive consideration of cities,
towns, hamlets, all kinds of people
and every condition of life.
It is not that the women resent
inquiry into the workings of equal
suffrage, or are supersensitive in the
matter of criticism. On the contrary,
they welcome study and investiga-
ton, feeling that the movement can
have no greater recommendation
than impartial investigation, no
greater benefit than intelligent sug-
gestion. They are perfectly willing
to have the country put away hopes
and fears, passions and irrational
isms, and consider facts from which
equal suffrage's true value can be ar
gued with mathematical certainty.
But they do demand that such inves-
legations be made in the honesty and
dispassion that govern all important
experiments. And as thew are sat-
isfied to be judged by the record
made in seventeen years, so are they
insistent that attack proceed along
the lines of this record. They are
sick and hurt and tired of being the
butt of blackguardism and irrespons-
Utility, of stupidities and prejudices,
when the essential facts suffer no
concealment, but stand simply as
sums in addition and subtraction.
Mans conservatism, which is really
another name for sex antagonism---
the thing that makes the first year
of married life so difficult-is usually
blamed for the opposition to equal
suffrage. But is that the real rea-
son? Does not the persistence Of
attack-its remarkable organization
and extreme bitterness--argue a
more subtle and sinister cause?
Almost every woman, no matter
what her mind and manners, is con-
stitutionally opposed to the liquor
traffic. She hates the saloon, and
fears it's menace to her home and
men folk.
And every woman has keener eco
nomic perceptions than the man.
Pennies have importance in the eyes
OF the housewife. No man Is at
tracted by reductions of two. three
or four cents, but the bargain sale
is a lure that few women can resist.
When radicals explain that five
cent carfare Is too much; that th-
gas rate Is ten cents too high that
the telephone bill should be cut
down; that the increased cost of liv-
ing is due to the railroads and ex-
press companies, the man impatiently

like it is something with which they
are not warranted in trying to inter-
fere. On the other hand there are
many others equally devout, who hold
that they not only have right but are
expected to ask for anything they de-
sire, so there you are.
Maybe the Spartanburg preacher Is
right in his belief that rain has been
withheld because of the wickedness of
the people; but somehow it occurs to
us that he might be assuming a great
deal in attempting to say so.
There Is no desire to deny that there
is plenty of wickedness; but it should
be remembered that there are so many
other means at the hand of Providence
for the punishment of wickedness,
that there might be a little presump-
ton in saying that the drouth is the
particular meaning of the present sit
uation.
For our part we shall not attempt to
tell people whether or not to pray for
rain. That is a question that every
man may very we'll decide for himself;
but if there are any who cannot be in
duced to pray otherwise, it is certainly
much better for them to go to praying
for rain than not to pray at ALL
Whether the rain comes or not, there is
good rather than harm in the praying.

Praying for Rain.

The recent request of the president
of the South Carolina Farmers Union
that the people of the state unite in
a prayer for rain and the assertion
of the Spartanburg minister that there
is no need to pray for rain until the
people turn from their wickedness. are
still being discussed i'm the papers.
AS to whether there is any profit in
the discussion of a subject like this,
we are in more or less doubt, not that
we think the matter unimportant; but
rather because we are inclined to the
idea that most praying people have
their own beliefs and opinions and the
beliefs and opinions of praying
people do not matter.
To say that there is no good in pray
er is absurd 1t would certainly be
absurd to say such thing to most of
the people who read this; but at the
same time among the readers of this,
one may find many who, though be-
levers i'm prayer, do not feel called
upon to make a matter like this the sub
ject of it for the reason that they feel

Astronomers say that there will be a

complaint about the scenery along the
route; but that Is about all there Is to
It. There Is very little Of interest In

There are some few folks who in

would have otherwise not come to
Yorkville at all. or who would have
come around by the c. &. n. w. This
conductor went on to say that there
are a good many people coming to
Yorkville now because the hotel ac-
commodations are so satisfactory.

The Riqhts of the Individual.

One high duty Of American states
men, preachers, teachers, editors and
other public men who exercise more or
less influence in shaping the thought
and character of the developing gene
rations, that is neglected more than
another, is that of teaching individuals
their real rights and privileges as the
same are supposed to be guaranteed
under our peculiarly American insti-
tutions.
This great American nation owes its
existence to the doctrine that all men
are created equal, that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness." 1t was this doctrine alone, that
inspired the fathers to bare their
breasts and pour out their blood in the
great American revolution, and while
it is a fact that this is the real tie that
continues to hold this country togeth-
er, it is also a fact that the complete
fruits of the heroism and bloodshed of
the old days have not yet been fully
realized.
Permeating the social, religious, po-
litical and business life Of the Ameri-
can people of today there is to be seen
by those who have the intelligence, pa
triotism and courage to point it out, as
much of the old-time tyranny, injus-
tice, oppression and gall as existed in
the days of King George III. 1t is not
to be found i'm such repulsive form, 1t
is true, because it is no longer cOncen-
trated in the person of any particular
despot; but nevertheless it continues
a blight. 1t would be more blighting
still were it not for the shadow of the
tree of liberty that was so vigorously
nOurished by the blood of the fathers.
In the old days, it will be remem-
bered. even after the immortal doc
trine that all men are born free and
equal had been established, there was
a long drawn battle between the
brainiest men of the time. over the
question as to whether the portentiOus
principle involved be frankly recogniz-
ed. There were among the statesmen
of the day those who could not recon-
cile themselves to the idea that the
common people were fit for self-gOv-
eminent They insisted that the peo-
pie must be governed, rather than al
lowed to govern, else the result would
be a certain and swift levelng of all
classes to one and as the lower class
IS could not be raised to the higher
level all at once, the higher or domi-

COTTON WEIGHER QUESTION.

There are to be four official cotton
weighers instead of only one in YORK
vile, If the action Of the county board
of commissioners Wednesday stands
and as three of them are to be en-
ployes of local cotton buyers, the
purpose of the cotton sellers OF the
surrounding country who have been
seeking to establish the public plat
form system at this place, will be in q
measure defeated
There has been more or less inter-
est i'm the matter of establishing q
public cotton weighing system in
Yorkville for several years. About
three years ago the York county
Farmers Union passed a resolution
asking the York delegation in the
general assembly to tack York county
on to a cotton weighing bill that had
been introduced for Chester county
and which was then on its passage.
York was accordingly tackled on the
bill, and the bill passed a third read
ing that way: but for some reason the
amendment was stricken out before
ratification and York was not includ-
ed i'm the law. The following year a
petition circulated to the same end
was numerouSly signed: but nothing
came of 1t. and last winter the effort
was resumed.
The last petition referred to was cir
culated by Mr.. ]. f. Burns. farmer,
at the instance of several of his neigh
bors. and by Mr. J. f. Lowry. Jr., cot
ton buyer of Yorkville. The move

Tick Eradication Work.
The work of tick eradication con-
tinues to drag along slowly, all the
slower because people most directly
interested will not do their part and
as to whether York county will be TAX
en- out from under the quarantine
this year Is still very doubtful. There
are sixty or more premises still under
Quarantine In various parts OF the
county and on account Of the anxiety
of the agricultural department to free
the territory at the earliest possible
| moment the agents are themselves do
Ing lot Of the spraying and greasing
| that the cattle owners are supposed
to do themselves. According to the
instructions from the agricultural de-
partment, cattle are supposed to be
sprayed or creased once every two
| weeks. 1t requires this to kill all ticks
in a season. By spraying every two
weeks. 1t has been found that all the
| adult ticks can be gotten rid Of and
along with them the little ticks COM
ing on; but when the greasing or
spraying Is left for a longer time. half
grown ticks are dropped on the
ground, to mature and later attach
themselves to the first cow that comes
their way. This means a new crop
and that all the work is to be done
over again. If the force now at work
in the county can manage to keep up
with the ticks and get their spraying
done at least once every fourteen
days; the probability is that the quar-
antine will be raised this fall.
