WILSON PRAISED FOR BREAK.
PREDICTION MADE THAT HE
WILL GIVE AMPLE REASONS.
Washington Times Prints Story Tell
ing How New Jersey Governors
Action Gratifies Three Men.

Washington. Jan. 21.-That Gov
Woodrow Wilson will within the next
few days give the public ample AMI
sufficient reasons for having declared
that Harper's Weekly was doing h,s
presidential hopes more harm than
good is the prediction made here to-
day. On this subject the Washington
Times prints the following story this
, morning:
Three Maryland Democrats. all
locally well known as political fac
tors. discussed the Wilson Harvey in
cident on train last evening. They
had all had leanlngs toward Gov.
Wilson long before the Harvey affair.
"one said: The thing tina: always
made me uncertain OF Democrat was
the leadership of Harper's Weekly In
his behalf: now know he's my kind
The second said. This affair has
cleared away my last uncertainties
about Wilson. I'm satisfied that he's
the sort Of man who. IL nominated
and elected. would be president for
the people. not for the people who
corralled the delegates and the cam
paign funds
The third agreed with these views.
and among them the trio named three
other Democrats Of their acquaintance
who had expressed themselves in like
vein.
People who know Col. Harvey best
have least doubt OF the sincere quality
Of support he gave Gov. Wilson. and
least uncertainty that no has given
that support because he honestly be-
iieved in the ideals Wilson represents
Col. Harvey is not the eactionary
representative of Wall street inter-
ests that has been widely represented
But mincing words is useless now
The truth is. and II Is Of every day
knowledge to everybody who has min
gled In recent months were practical
!. pQlitics has been discussed. that the
ppu> Aas< <e.srns z5Exnsu
rD>Fe harm than GOOD asked the
frank question whether that. was his
view Of u, Gov. Wilson admated that
Il was Doubtless he could show a
startling array Of letters and other
testimony TO justify his conclusion. A
man running for president can not az
ford TO be needlessly misunderstood
Gratitude is well enough. but 1t Is diff
ncult TO be grateful for that which
hurts rather than helps. 1t is better
TO be accused Of ingratltude than TO
b. guilty OF hypocrisy"

CONFERENCE MAY END STRIKE.
BELIEVED COMMITTEES MAY
REACH AGREEMENT IN
LAWRENCE.
Sixteen Thousand Idle Textile Opera.
tors May End Ten Days Lay-OH.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 21.-With
the organization of strikers commit
tees to arrange for conferences Of
employees with the mill agents, a
feeling was prevalent today that a
great step had been taken toward
ending the strike Of 10000 textile
operators which has been in progress
for ten days. Col. f. Leroy Sweetzer
commander of. the regiment camped
in the mill district, and Dudley M.
Holman, Gov Foss' secretary, both Of
whom attended conferences with the
strikers today, expressed their belief
that peace was probable shortly.
No further search was made today
for dynamite. three lots Of which
We're found in different parts of the
city yesterday. According to the po-
lice, the tip by which the explosive
was located came from members Of
the Italian squad on the police force,
who have been engaged in the search
In Boston for strangers supposed to
have designs against the governor,
and who came here yesterday and
hunted among the Italians for two
men. said to be professional dynamit-
ers from Pennsylvania.
These men slept two nights in Bos-
ton, the police say. and arrived in
Lawrence Friday night They are be-
ing shadowed.
Joseph G. Etter, the strike leader.
and hundreds Of the strikers brand
the whole affair as a deliberate frame
up and plant" to ruin the cause Of
the striking operatives. Etter laid it
to private detectives. A member Of
the State police force who has been
prominent in the investigation, was
of the opinion tonight that the hear
ing tomorrow Of the eight persons
arrested when the dynamite was
found, would develop testimony that
the explosive was not to be used
-r-. .~-F-~ .1tt-f
against the mill property.
Unconfirmed reports were rife to-
night that many of the large mills
which have been operating with re-
duced forces for the past week would
not open their gates tomorrow.
Unless trouble develops tomorrow
IL is probable that some Of the mill
tia will he dismissed.

been heard from the other canvassers
II is taken for granted that they will
act as canvassers for their townships
as appointed.
Mr.. O'Donnell is in receipt of a let
ter from Mr.. Anderson highly com
pllmenting the Sumter committee in
their work. Part of the letter is as
follows:

COUNTY SUPERINTENDEN
MEETING.
Action Taken by Educators i'm Hav.
ing Bills Introduced in General As.
Sembly.

TO the Editor Of the Item.
1T is indeed encouraging to attend
a meeting so full Of interest and en-.
thusiasm as was the meeting OF the
County Superintendent Of Education
held in Columbia Wednesday and
Thursday Of this week.
The school law is imperfect and
the system evolved from it is neces-
sarily the same also. Many perplex-
ing cases come up for the superin.
tendent of each county to decide and
work out the best way he can. The
meeting in Columbia was for the DUR
pose OF discussing these trying sit
uations, and, if possible, devise
means for their relief. Several bills
were proposed and committees ap-
pointed to carry them before the ed
ucational committee Of the Senate
Ind House in joint session.
Briefly these bills are:
One to provide for a central Board
# Examiners who shall grade all
examination papers, Of those desiring
to teach the papers being sent in to
this board by county superintendent
who hold two examinations, one in
April and one in August.
Another bill asked for more funds
so that needy schools may be run for
a longer term.
Another bill asked for a Library
fund which would be available any
time during the year, and which
would be sufficient to aid those
schools which wished to increase
their Libraries.
Another bill asked for a fund for
each county board of education to be
used at the boards discretion to ad-
vance the cause of education in the
county.
Another bill asked for an appropri-
alton by the State Of fifteen thousand
dollars to aid schools ranking just be-
low the high school and which, in
most cases, were made up by con-
sOlidation and employed several
Ftsaehers, bat which were not able 70
secure fifteen pupils advanced suffi-
cinetly to enter the high school.
1t is generally hoped by the county
superintendents the State super.
tendent and all who are really in
touch with the needs Of the public
rural schools of the State that these
bills will be passed. 1t is very i'm
portant that these schools should be
improved, as it is in the rural public
schools that the majority Of the
children of the State can hope for
an education. Not one word against
the higher institutions Of learning;
not one word aaginst the city schools;
not one word against necessary ex-
penditures in other lines, where
progress Is sought, but of the State
debt, figure, oh We Honorable Solons
how much is due to money appro-
priated to give the country boy an
education You will never be accus-
ed Of extravaganza for giving aid to
this cause, for it is in this that the
hope Of an advanced civilization de-
pends
