A QUESTION OF PRoPRIEN
Leon M. Green Quits Staff Of News
and Courier.
Columbia State Tuesday

SOiuihDid oldlS, uCSudy.
Charleston, July 24.-Leon NJ.
Green, Columbia correspondent for
the News and Courier, has refused to
paper that he resign an appointment
recently received upon the staff of
Gov. Blease and says he will resign as
correspondent Immediately. His res
ignation will be handed to the head
OF the News and Courier's Columbia
bureau, August Kohn, upon the lat
ter's return from a Canadian tour.
81 resign under pressure" said Mr..
Green. II cannot comply with the
demand made on me. When l was
appointed on the governors staff, ac-
know that the position was given in
the right spirit. For the paper rep
resented to seek to tell me that |
should resign either from the paper or
from the governors staff was, in my
opinion, an encroachment upon my
personal rights.
II felt that / could still remain on
the governors staff, as / have always
sought to give unbiased reports Of Of
fetal acts Of the chief executive Of the
state.
1.-The position taken by the paper
appears to me, and l have no doubt
will so appear to many others in the
state, untenable, for the particular
reason that the position occupied here
for the paper was that solely Of
news correspondent. I had nothing
whatever to do with the editorial pol
icy Of the paper. What / have been
sending to the papers l represent was
the news of the day here-nothing
more"
Mr. Green Joined the staff Of the
State in the fall Of 1907. shortly after
his graduation from the university Of
South Carolina. Since the spring Of
1909 he has been with the Columbia
bureau Of the News and Courier.
Mr.. Green Gives Out Letter.
Mr.. Green last night gave out the
letter below which he stated had been
written him by Robert Latham, the
editor of the News and Courier. Mr..
Latham said last night that he had
to say concerning the matter.
Mr.. Lathan's letter to Mr.. Green Is as
follows:
"Mr Leon M. Green, Columbia, s. C.
Dear Mr.. Green: I have just re-
ceived your letter Of July 20 and re-
gret very much to learn Of your de-
to remain on the staff OF
the governor rather than on that OF
the News and Courier.
"As / wrote Mr.. Kohn, l do not re-
gard 1t as proper for newspaper cor
to hold two such positions
at the same time; my understanding
Of the matter being that the accept
ance of an appointment as one OF
the governors aids entails upon the
person accepting it responsibility Of
doing all that he can to uphold what
ever the governor may do.
81 think it should be a rule Of the
paper that no one Of its STAFF should
any position which might ex-
pose him to the criticism that his i'm
partiality might be affected, whether
such criticism be well founded or not
1T Is the desire of the News and
Courier to do every public official JUS
tice fairly and impartially, and In or
der to do so think the above men,
toned rule a good one.
1T Is true that Mr.. Kohn was at one
time an aide to a governor but that
was before | became editor Of the pa
per.

To the announced purpose of the
affairs of the Southern Express COM
pany, we say, amen. There has been
a lot of fuss about Standard Oil, Amer
lean tobacco and other monopolies,
and these are no doubt bad enough;
but If there is a stronger, smoother or
more oppressive monopoly in this
section than the Southern Express, we
do not know what it is. The express
organization includes all the essential
principles of a trust, and we do not
doubt that some of the larger and
more Objectionable trusts got their
primary lessons from this organiza-
tion. 1t is not our purpose to say
what proper express rates should be,
because candidly we do not know; but
we feel confident that rates are three
or four times as high as they should
be. AS a matter of fact the public
knows but little about the express bus
mess, the inner workings of it and the
tremendous profits it yields the stock
holders, who never let go any stock;
but that it is good" thing, a Won
derfully good thing, even the simplest
can have no doubt. In the conduct of
it's business, the Southern Express
company is as autocratic and as dicta-
torial as the postoffice department;
but nothing like as responsible. There
has been some little improvement dur
ing the past few years; but hardly
enough to notice. 1t is indeed, graft
flying to know that the railroad COM
mission is threatening an investiga-
ton; but we warn the public not to
grow too enthusiastic all at once. Not
only is the Southern Express company
rich and powerful but it is smooth
very smooth, and it may be powerful
and smooth enough in the end to keep
the public from knowing all the things
it would like to know, and even most
of the things it should know. But we
hope the investigation into this giant
monopoly will be full and thorough,
and that it will be followed up by the
legislation to which the people are en-
titled for their protection.

Liquor Wins In Texas.-The anti
prohibition majority in the state wide
prohibition election held in Texas
Saturday stands at 6,lO4, a figure too
large to he overcome by the unreport-
ed vote, according to figures compiled
by the Dallas News of this morning.
The total vote to date is:
Against the amendment 234,101.
For the amendment 22I997.
The new figures indicate that the
final count will show the majority
against prohibition to be in excess of
5000. There is a decided conviction
that there has been much fraud COM
mitted by the -prOhibitionists, and
that there will be- a bitter contest; but
that the liquor people will be able to
hold what they have is very probable.

Kansas Rival of Burbank Dies.

William H. Thomas, the Kansas
rival of Burbank, died at his home in
Wichita recently after a weeks i'll
ness. Thomas was well known, not
only in this section, but among harti-

in growing plants. He grated plants
successfully and produced several
new varieties. However, he never
made this a business, pursuing it
rather for pleasure. He derived
practically no commercial profit from
his work but his greenhouse here is
one of the beauty spots of the city.
Mr.. Thomas came to Wichita in a COW

Latest Kansas Events.
Wichita Man Invents AeropIane.

Wichita Man invents AeropIane.
H. Lee Smith, manager of the
Wichita Acetylene Manufacturing
company has invented an all alumni
mum aeroplane and will make a trial
fight soon. 1t is of the monoplane
type and will weigh in the neighbor-
hood of $50 pounds The planes,
which are similar to those built by
other monoplane inventors, have the
added lifting capacity of a gas com
partment, distributed according to the
weight of the machine across the top
of the planes. The gas, while it has
tendency to reduce the speed, adds
down the weight of the monoplane to
the extent of it's lifting capacity. The
machine when inflated as a conse-
quence is perfectly balanced. Mr..
smith lays especial claim on the fact
that he will be able to rise almost
anywhere with his machine inasmuch
as it will not be necessary for him to
make a preliminary run in order to
secure momentum. This is one of the
chief faults of the present type of
aeroplanes. The machine will be
operated with a 6O-horsepower motor.
Smiths invention has attracted con-
siderable attention and he has re-
ceived several offers for it but has re-
after making his preliminary flights.

which 1 assure you are often very
uncommon days when she is about.
This year, instead of sending valen-

children, she is having made lovely
big sugary cookies made in heart
shape, each wrapped in waxed paper
sealed with a heart sticker. They
are to be served with dessert, and
