Most Powerful on Earth.

Americans are fond Of referring
to the senate of the United States in
superlative terms as the greatest
legislative body on earth." etc.
But" says the Augusta Chronicle,
beside it the House Of, Commons in
the British Parliament under the
plan outlined in the veto bill now
certain of adoption looms beside our
own high counsel of state as noun
tain against mole-hill.
"The veto bill has passed the Com
mons. and opposition to it has broken
down in the House of Lords 1t is
virtually certain that the peers, as
they stand now, will contribute the
necessary vote for reducing their
body to a condition Of absolute sub
serviency to- the so-callei lower
house.
"The change will make the House
of Commons, with its about 500
members, the dominant government
al factor in the British Empire. 1t
will not only be absolute as to I'M
portant legislation, but, indirectly,
as TO the executive and the courts.
Gin this country, Congress has
nothing to do with the selection OF
ministers, barring the power of con-
firmment possessed by the Senate.
President is chosen by the people
and selects his assistants without re-
gard to the completion Of the legls-
latiye bodies. The majority in Con-
gress may change without affecting
the executive branch. Any sct OF the
Congress may be annullea by the
courts.
"Tnese things are not so in Eng
land. Any act of Paliament is con-
stitutional, for its alts make up the
constitution. The legislative body
is subject to no review by the courts.
II could abolish the writ Of haheas
cdrpus tomorrow and strike from
the constitution every right guaran-
teed by Magma Charta and no court
could say nay. 1t would be answer
able alone to the people.
And at the same time, the "gov-
ernment," or executive department,
is selected by or from the majority
party in the House of Comm ons. The
king. so far as his political powers
go, is nothing but reflection of the
house. When the majority shifts the
executive does likewise, for he is rep
resented by the cabinet, which is
rarely out of harmony with the rul-
ing forces in the popular branch OF
the Legislature.
'In the matter Of getting govern
ment close to the people, England
has excelled. Rid Of the anomalies
and injustices in its election system
It would be the most direct govern
ment the world has seen; with them,
it is probably the most responsive to
healthy public sEntiment.
'cGo other assembly the world has
ever known possessed or possesses
the tremendous powers that here
after will be exercised by the House
of Com ulons. It will have dominating
sway over every bit Of the machinery
of government. ,,.
"But the system is the product OF
ages. It is far from perfection yet
but is nearer it perhaps than any
other. The day will come when Great
Britain will be the most perfect OF
Democratic government

The observance of Mothers Day

The observance of Mothers Day
seems to be growing in favor. and
that is well, for the more influence
of the mother in the home is racog-
nized and the greater the honor,
love and reverence given her the bet
ter will it be for family life every
where. The idea is now being ad-
vancei that there be a FATHERS
Day" That also is we'll, for most
people believe the father is worth
considering. But speaking general
~. is there not a danger of these
special days being overdone? So far
as ministers and churches are con-
cernei (and it naturally affects them
most the calendar Of special sun
days Is getting so full that soon there
will be but few Sundays on which
the ordinary services and work of a
church can be carried out.

The strength Of nation is not in
Its wealth, or material prosperity,

%The people have tired Of the ma

cause the people could not make it

The Spartanburg Journal says: "lf
Fielder and Governor Blease would
tell all they know about dispensary
matters from the purchase of the
first invoice of whiskey, it would
make a book worth reading" May
be so. But We do not believe that
Fielder knows much. as he would
publish that book he promised. AS
to GOV. Bleae,'s knowledge. we have
no wa of judging what he knows
except what he let out about Fielder.
and that seems to have completely
silenced that gentleman, so far as
dispensary revelations are concerned.
Fielder was either indulging in hot
air when he said he would publish
his book, or he has been scared into
silence by what the other side
threatens to reveal regarding him.

Thomas Carlyle and Charles Dick
ems used to say that statist was
the0mcst dismal of men because his
figures always had depressing eff
feet. That may have been true in
their day, but the world has improved
considerably since then. Now the
statist is, as a rule, one Of the most
cotimigtic of men. and he macs his
readers like-mi1 ded, for. the statistics
he presents usually show. progress
along moral, social and material
lines, In fact they show that while a
very great deal remains to be ac-
complished, life is becoming ipcreas-
ingly joyous and more harmonious
because the spirit of brotherhood
with. all that it implies is abroad in
the land and throughout the world.

Pitcher Chonley had an off day and was relieved by Hester. The latter is man of powerful build and when he stepped on the mound there was cheering from the grand sand and bleach CTS. Pitcher Hester proceeded at once to make good and he justified the expectations of his partizans.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Hog raisers differ as to raising one
or two litters a year.
1t doesn't pay to starve the horses
when the grain gets low.
You cannot be too critical in tn,
selection of a new ram.
A SOW is often a profitable breeder
until she is seven years old.
The hog yards should be well
drained and all wallow holes filed.
The foal must be encouraged to eat
heartily, and to exercise, rest and
grow.
Remember that your horse gets
tired and has days when he doesn't
feel wall, just as humans do.
Begin feeding the foal oats. bran
and some bright, clean legume hay
when three or four weeks old.
There is no place on the farm
where disinfectants are so necessary
as in the Lighthouses and yards.
Some wheat bran and grain should
be fed the colt both summer and win
ter to aid in developing bone and
muscle.
EVERY hOiSt ShCoiNf fNS
sible, be allowed to go without his
shoes at least two or three months
every year.
In selecting the gifts from any
young litter for raising as breeders,
the number of teats should always be
ascertained.
Skinned milk, oats, bran and alfal-
ia are specially good for brood sows,
though any hog will do better on such
rations than on corn alone.
1t is a pretty good rule to keep the
sheep off the timothy meadows. They
bite so closely as to destroy bulbs
that they cannot sprout again.
All horses have not good teeth. and
i'll condition is frequently caused by
neglect of this fact. The teeth should
be examined at least once every year
Every farmer who keeps half a
dozen or more cattle, hogs, sheep OF
other animals. should plant an acre OF
two for green feeds for late fall oil
early winter feeding.
The possible introduction of hos
cholera into the pens by people
birds, dogs. etc. should be guarded
against. especially IL the disease Ii
present In the neighborhood.
