The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1912-04-11

Honorable Champ Clarke has
been advocating strenously that
the only way to stop the emf
grafton of the farmers of this
country to Canada, was to open
up all public lands to settlement
by people now on earth. In the
language of the Irishman,
What the devil has posterity
ever done for us.
The truth of the matter is
that the Honorable Champ
Clark is a constructive states
men of to-day and is absolutely
correct when he says the public
lands should be opened up for
settlers and stop the exodus Of
farmers to Canada. which will
prove one of the factors in re-
ducing the cost of living. He
believes, as does every man
who is a statesman and looks
ahead, that is the only way to
check the removal to the cities
and the congestion therein of
all the immigration to this
country from foreign lands and
give them an opportunity to
seek homes on public lands and
enhance the farming interests
of the country to help feed the
masses.

Lyon. He also stated that the
testimony of Mr.. Wallace to the
effect that Mr.. Nelson on cross
examination had brought out
the fact that the money or de-
posit in Cincinnati was also an
true as ne himself had had his
own witness to testify in regard
thereto and that Mr.. Nelson
had objected to a part Of the
Same.
The testimony presented yes

of the Blease commits

He expressed a lack OF conf

and at one time stated conf

giving testimony yesterday,
that nothing had been
accomplished by the Blease
board. They expressed their
dislike to Attorney General
Lyon and charged that he had
not given the proper cooperation
to the board. Attorney General
Lyon was present and gaze the
information that the Blease
board had consulted him on few
occasions. Not one specific III
stance Of dereliction OF duty on
the part of the attorney general
was pointed out by the BIease
members of the commission /.
They talked generally about
the "demeanor" and cordial
ity' of the attorney general.
There was much testimony OF
the deduction order given.
The first witness called at the
session was James
Stackhouse, the chairman Of
the Blease winding-up commits
sion. He is a resident Of 1Aiu!-
Inns. He was asked by the
committee as to efforts to wind
up the affairs of the dispensary.
He said that the report would
show the work.
Mr.. Stackhouse said that the
:demeanor Of Lyon had led
him to certain conclusions. He
thought that Lyon had not
been the same. >
It was shown by the questions
asked by the committee that At

refused to give assistance when

Senator Johnson had volunteer
ed the information that James
S. Farnum had paid $4,000 for
immunity and that he State
only received s5,G0o. He said
that he accepted the statement
BY senator Johnson as being
the truth and then printed the
editorial. He said that Senator
Johnson told him that he had
secured the information from a
reliable source III Columbia,
RaGtin said that he had never
discussed The matter with the
governor. Rantin said that he
thought the statement made oy
Senator johnson to be true at
the time he wrote the editorial.
He said that he had never SAID
anything that would tend to re
tard the work of the commits
sion.
The witness was questioned
as to the ability Of the members
Of the .Ansel board. He knew
DR.. W. J. Murray and thought
him to be an honorable and
straightforward gentlemen.
James Y. Wallace Of Charles
ton, member of the Blease
board, was questioned by the
committee as to the work OF
the commission. He said that
the alcohol question had been
brought up before the Blease
commission by Dr.. ". J. Muir
ray, chairman of the Ansel
board. He said that the word
Of DR.. Murray was accepted by
the commission.
Wallace charged that the
Ansel commiss on was hamper
ed by attorneys.
Was the question Of investi
eating the Ansel board evel
brought before the Bleasc
board!"
He replied that the question
had never been discussed.
Did Your board ever attempt
to prosecute any one except T.
B. Felder!''
No, sir, he replied.
He was asked to be more
specific with reference to the
charge that the Ansel board
was hampered by attorneys.
He merely charged that almost
all money was received by the
attorneys.
The witness expressed his
disapproval of the contract with
T. B. Fielder. He charged that
Fielder had "b:::ncoed" the
State. It was stated by the
witness that Fielder had not
lived up to his contract.
The witness said that the
Blease board had brought the
action against Fielder. He said
that action had not been brought
against others in connection
with the dispensary. He
charged that the State had paid
for the gathering Of information
for T. B. Fielder. He was un-
able to specify as to the amounts
paid.
The witness charged that
the Indifference of the at
io1ney general caused the Blease
board to make a failure in its
work. Wal!ace thought that
the attorney general had all in
formation in his possession and
that be refused TO turn it over
to the Blease board.

A PIN PICTURE
OF ROOSEVELT.

OF ROOSEVELT
Democratic Chances Gaining
Ground.
At last the people are taking
the measure of Theodore Roose-
welt. I have studied him at
close quarters for the last fifteen
years and I have been cussed
out by hero worshipers a num-
Der of times because [ have said
in print over my own signature
that he was a .faker, a four
flusher and side-stepper. The
people are now beginning to
fine out shat my estimate of
him was correct. In his latest
speech in New York he proved
everything that l have ever said
about him to be absolutely cor
rect. He made Mr.. Taft Presi-
dent of the United States, and
IN that speech he took back ev-
erything that he had said about
Taft and bemeaned him and his
administration in every way he
possibly could and said worse
things about him than any Dem
ocrat has ever attempted to say.
The truth is becoming appear
ent. AS I said in this CORES
pondence not long ago. Roose-
welt will soon become the most
thoroughly dissredited man in
the United States. He is an
cry, not so much at Mr.. Taft as
at the fact that he sees his pop
ularity is simply noise and moth
ing else. His condition noN is
like that Of a rattle-snake in the
month of August when he Is
blind and striking at everything
he hears,
This will do Taft no harm
but will hurt Roosevelt with the
thinking people Of this country,
no matter what their opinion
of him has been previously. He
has been bowling for presiden-
tial primaries on a vote for Pres
ident and he got one the other
day in North Dekota, for Taft
really was not running, and
when the only real progressive
republican was a candidate in
the person of La Toilette who
beat him to a frazzle. He now
sees where he stands and knows
that he has to beat La Toilette
in all the States that contains
progressive Republicans instead
of Taft, and that he has no
more show for the nomination
at Chicago than a one legged
man at a kicking match. This
ali makes the Democratic lead
ers here in Washington smile a
broad smile and pat themselves
affectionately because it means
a split in the Republican ranks
that cannot be healed during
the campaign after the conven-
tions are held, therefore, means
a Democratic President.
The political leaders Of Wash
ington in both parties are gos.
siping considerably anent the
latest phase in the Honorable
Champ Clark's candidacy fo1
the President on the Democratic
ticket for the reason that he
has struck a keynote that af-
fects the Western people and
accounts largely for his popu,
larity in the great section of the
country.
During Roosevelt's admins.
tration the faddists began tc
howl that the public domain
was being squandered and tax
en- away from posterity and
that posterity would have moth
ing if all the lands Were settled
up in this generation. The
Honorable Champ Clarke has
been advocating strenously thai
the only way to stop the emf
grafton of the farmers of this
country to Canada, was to oper
up all public lands to settlement
by people now on earth. In The
