THE REAL ARTERIES OF TRADE.

The Importance Of securing
federal aid toward the building
of interstate highways is again
being discussed, and in support
OF the proposition many season.
able arguments are put forth. 1t
is not too much to say that mil
lions are added yearly to the cost
of the foods that come from the
farm simply because of the diff
Guilty Of hauling them to market
over bad roads, and though, of
course, primarily, the duty OF
caring for and constructing coun-
try highways should devolve on
the farmers adjacent to whose
and the roads run. yet it is rec
ognized that something must be
done to educate people to the i'm
portance and economy of good
road building, and it is the belief
Of experts that some federal IN
terest in the matter would fur
nish the needed stimulus.
The country seems to have
been educated up to the needs Of
a naval force 50 that it acquiesces
readily enough to the recommen
dation Of Secretary Meyer for
1.-TWO new battleships, TO cost nil
lions, though in his annual re-
port he calls especial attention tc
the fact that these expensive ma
chimes deteriorate so that IN ter
years they are practically abso
lutte, and have to be regulated tc
the second-defense line. The
4 country also is awake to the fae1
that proper conservation and i'm
provement of our waterways
means mnch good to the nation
! at large. so that when the Com
; mittee on Rivers and Harbors es
:: Inmates a need Of $50, 100000 fo!
} waterway purposes the people
are not surprised.
If the people of the countr,
| could really understand the vita
| Importance and economy Of tn
good roads movement, Their
would be as. little difficulty in Sc
curing appropriations for tha
purpose as for battleships or TO
) waterways. Money expended TO
good roads would be invested no
, wasted. It would be an invest
ment that would pay annual div
idends, for is practically impos

VecetabIes In Iudors' Time.


What did people eat before they had
the potato as u staple article of diet?
Apparently they had most OF the vege-
tables that we have now. OF London
ers in the time Of the Tudors, Sir Wal
ter Besant tells us that they ate let
tuce as 9 separate dish before the
meat, used turnip leaves as salad
and roasted the turnip itself in wood
ashes. Horseradish and carrots were
known to them, and capers were serV'
ed boiled in oil or vinegar. Cucum'
bers. radishes, parsnips and cabbages
also figured at the Tudor meal table,
for which. by the way, they boiled
their oysters and spread their beef
with honey. 1t would be fun in these
days to eat-or refuse-a Tudor meal

The GOVERNORS PARD0NING.

The exercise Of the pardonlng
power by the Governor should
be carefully considered at all
times, the State must be
just and merciful, and the
constitution has vested in the
governor the power to review
and consider the action of the
courts, therefore when thenews-
papers publish long list of
paroles and pardons by the gov
ernor it must be presumed that
he has carefully considered each
case.
When Governor Blease par.
doned G. Wash Hunter convict
ed of the killing Of Elbert j..
Copeland in Laurens county.
there was much criticism of the
governor because he was one of
the attorneys who defended
Hunter. among those who criti-
clsed was this newspaper, but in
Sundays News there appeared
the governors reasons for his
exercise of the pardoning power
in the Hunter case. The reasons
assigned are very strong, not
only was the governor urged by
a strong petition, but he shows
from the court records that the
supreme court decided one way
in the Hunter case and in the
Lazarus case which went up on
similar grounds it reversed it.
self, therefore if Lazarus was
entitled to a new trial so was
Hunter.
In the Black case the News
and Courier of yesterday pub
fishes the governors reasons
also, this was another case
which brought forth severe crit
icism on the action of the gov
ernor. While the reasons as
signed IN this case are SIrOnS
we think the governor could
have made 1t stronger by show
ing that Black with two others
we're charged with conspiring
with each other to cheat and
defraud the State, that in acquit-
ing two of Blacks co-defendants
and convicting Black it does not
need any special legal knowledge
to see that it was a travesty on
Justice, and as the governor says
Black was made a scapegoat to
satisfy clamor, both political and
prejudice.
Just before Christmas thirty
convicts were sent to tneir
homes, and we must presume
that the governor had reasons
to satisfy him of the justice of
their claims, at any rate we
should withhold criticism until
We are in possession of the facts
in these cases. Governor Blease
has pardoned and paroled more
convicts than any of his prede.
ceeors and We suppose he is pre-
par.d to defend this record.

The notice to the Russian GOV

The notice to the Russian gov
ernment by President Taft to alb
rogate the treaty of 1882 will
meet with the approval of the
masses Of this country except the
politicians who had hoped to
make political capital out of the
incident. The Russian govern.
ment has not respected passports
of certain American citizens be-
cause of their religious beliefs,
and this brought about the action
Of President Taft. The civilized
nations of the earth should give
the Russians to understand that
they will not tolerate their 5y-
ranny any longer, and that the
citizens of other countries in
Russia are entitled to the treat
ment their conduct deserves.

or effectuate the release; and all
the facts and proceedings relative
thereto shall, as soon as practic-
able, be communicated by the
President to Congress.
when Congress in the exer-
else of its lawmaking power spoke
that language, it advertised to
all the world there should be no
differentiation Of her citizen at
home or abroad, and it is for US
to make good to-day the guaranty
Of freedom and equality OF citi-
zenship contained in those words.
Clearly have I shown you that
when Russia differentiates be-
tween the citizens of this Repub-
lie because they were formerly
her subjects, she violates the
treaty. The next question is.
does she do this? The answer is,
yes. She not only refused the
right Of entry to foreign born cit
liens. but refuses it to those i'm
migrating to our shores from
other countries and who have
never been within her borders.
She refuses it to our native born
citizens of the Jewish faith, and
she refuses it to Catholic priests
and missionaries. whether native
or forelgn-born. And, most hu-
initiating Of all, she nonors and
vises the passport of u citizen of
other powers, like Germany or
England. regardless of religious
faith, while she refuses to honor
ours.
ITO me one Of the darkest fea-
lures of this question is the stand
which our Governmenthas taken.
1t 'dissents' but practically adj
mits its helplessness. 1t com
plains feebly and yet informs
every humble citizen applying
for passports that it is powerless
to protect his rights. If I am
correct in my contention, then
our Government, in acqulesclng
quietly to the outrage, is practic
ally aiding and abetting Russia
in this atrocity; is particeps
