JAPs HONOR ENEMY AT MUKpEN
Put Up Monument to Russian Deao
Left on Battlefield.

A recent traveller through Manchuria
gives us a picture and a description
Of the great cemetery and which some
time ago they consecrated to the Rus
sian dead who fell in the battle about
Mukden.
In their precipitate retreat the ar
mics of the czar left thousands upon
thousands of their fallen comrades un
buried. After the signing of the treaty
of peace the soldiers of the mikado
collected every last bone and every bit
of ragged uniform and every broken
weapon which the Russians had left
upon the field and buried them with
soldierly honors. In the centre of the
vast plat they enclosed by white mar
BILE fencing a reserved space for those
who had evidently been officers.
Over the graves of the common SOL
diers iron crosses, in the Greek form
were erected, and over the graves of
commanders crosses of white marble.
Then as a pivot to the converging lines
they reared a terrace and on the ter
race built marble temple all at a cost
OF $4,000 yen. When all the work was
ready for dedicatory rites they invited
Russian ecclesiastics from Peking,
Hardin and Vladivostok. together with
such military commanders as were
near, to assemble for religious services
in this chapel, where. amid the as
sembled men of both races, the land
was solemnly consecrated as a resting
place for the Russian dead.
We think we have not done badly
when fifty years after the battle OF
Gettysburg we invite the surviving
Confederates to meet us where they
fought us, and with their northern fell
low citizens today give thanks for a
united country. But the "Japs" have
bettered as well as anticipated our act
For within five years of the battle of
Mukden they laid out the field as a
cemetery for their conquered enemies
buried them decently, had religious
rites celebrated by priests of their own
faith and paid personal tribute to the
courage and loyalty Of the men they
had vanquished. All this without one
word of suggestion from outside.-The

rent among the mountain folk, dating

Scions of an illustrious race may be
found in the little homes beside the
murmuring streams. In Graham

Distinguished college presidents and

There is no braver race Of men.
When the cause Of the American rev.

thus turned the tide in the course Of
freedom. When the tocsin Of battle
sounded in sixty-one, no more daunt-

"On Monday, the day of the night he

CLEAN GOVERNMENT THE NEED
Address Of John L. MeLaurin Before
Fsrmers Union.

II
Politics in this state are rotten"
said former Senator John L. McLaurIn
Of Marlboro county in an address be-
fore the Farmers union In this city
yesterday. "You have majority Of
votes. You control the situation. II
you get high prices and create wealth,
1t is worth nothing without the bless
ing of good government, clean govern
ment, law, order and civilization" The
senator says he believes in construct
i've government, both local and nation
al.
"If the rulers Of this republic had
been swift to see the need Of modif-
cation in political methods as the ma
ton grew out Of the sparse popula-
ton and crude conditions Of early
times, we could now have q full ex-
preston Of national opinion on public
questions, II need be, every year with
out the trouble and Generalization Of
elections, which are rapidly becoming
a national curse" said the senator in
another part Of his speech. ''If in
5000 years from today naught re-
NAMED. but two copies Of daily news
papers, one with an account Of the
late steam roller convention at Chi
cago and the other Of the campaign
meeting held a few days ago in this
city, from that record the able So
ciologist Of that far time, in spite Of
our vaunted goth century civilization.
our great wealth and boasted Chris
tianity would mark US down as race
of moral savages, and q full knowl-
edge Of our intellectual and material
triumphs would only still further con-
firm his opinion"
| He thinks the American Of 1912 a
'faithless pessimist" "Even the chill
dren do not believe in Santa Claus"
he declares.
Being the father Of the warehouse
bill, he did not neglect that docu-
ment. He commended the supreme
court in its recent decision on the
bill. He says that the decision is not
only a great blessing for South Caro-
lima but for the nation.
"I am satisfied with the decision"
he said. "It holds the act unconsti-
tutional on the ground that the leg
islature appropriated money in 1912
for 1918. OF course that is unconsti-
tutional. The bond issue ought never
to have been In there; but was draw
ing an act that could be passed; and
honestly do not think the court is right
but I am not fool enough to argue
about It. The court is composed Of
abler lawyers than I, and when they
all say am wrong, why / say Amen
The thing to do now Is to take the de-
cision and draw an act In conformity
to It."
He had this to say in part Of the
present social unrest"
"I say the present social unrest Is
a consequence Of an economic neces-
sity of constantly adjusting the wages
of labor as expressed in terms Of
gold, to the cost Of living as expressed
in terms Of gold.
1--WE are back again to the 60-cent
dollar; for because Of increased gold
production, the dollar only buys about
one-half of what it did 16 years ago."

PRICE OF eAs6LENE.
Law of Supply and Demand Operates
In Direction of New York.

Automobile owners and other users
of gasolene who have seen its price ad-
vance from ten to sixteen cents within
a year, will be glad to learn that the
Royal Dutch company Is now market
ing considerable quantities in the Unit
ed States and expects to increase the
amount by very much more. During
the past two years this country has not
only consumed practically all its gaso-
lene output but has begun drawing
heavily upon sources outside. In New
York state alone the registration OF
automobiles from February to June
was $500, or more than 1918 entire
registration; and enormous increase In
combustion engines for a great variety
of uses, especially on the farm, In
crease in motor boats, etc., has sent
the demand out of sight, 1t must be
remembered that the proportion Of by
product recoverable from petroleum In
the form of gasoline Is very small. This
proportion sometimes ranges as low as
one per cent and seldom above ten,
the Pennsylvania fields averaging the
highest Of all. Now that byproduct
which the early refiners quite rejected
threw away as dangerous nuisance
has become one Of the most useful
petroleum products II Is the object of
q highly concentrated demand. No one
need expect, therefore, any material
reductions in price consequent upon
imports from the East Indies through
the Royal Dutch company or from other
sources Of supply. Nor do the Standard
OIL interests entertain the slightest
dread. Imports may serve the excel
lent purpose Of. keeping supply within
at least some sort Of remote relation
to demand; but all the resources Of the
petroleum producing world are insuf-
ficient to give us cheap gasolene sc
long as no generally accepted substi-
tute can be found.
In Germany denatured alcohol, OBJ
tanned from farm waste not only
serves many important uses In the
arts and industries but also substitutes
gasolene to considerable extent, even
in motor vehicles. 1t was hoped thai
the legal authorization Of alcohol dis
tilling on the farms in this country
with the possibility Of use for drinking
purposes destroyed under the supervi-
sion of the Internal Revenue depart
ment, would yield similar results over
here. But our farmers have not avail
ed themselves Of the opportunity; and
while some denatured alcohol Is pro-
duced, effective substitution for gaso'
lene or any other petroleum product has
made practically no headway. Neither
did abolition Of the countervailing duty
on oil products bring noticeable relief
although 1t assures the free importa-
ton Of the gasolene which we are re-
ceiving now. We have not managed
even by anti trust suits, to put a hook
in the oil leviathan's nostrils; and the
manifest fact Is that we would get gus.
olene and other petroleum products nc
cheaper If we had.-Charlotte Observ'

Abney's Commission.

Mr.. Lyon said that as to the COM
mission paid to b. L. Abney. Evans
should know If he had any knowledge
of law at all, that Mr.. Abney was en-
ployed by the Blease board, not by
him, and that this board fixed the
compensation which Mr.. Abney re-
ceived in the Richland Distillery case;
the attorney general had nothing to
do with it. Evans should know also.
that the legislature at it's last session
gave the attorney general authority
to collect and receipt for graft money.
Evans now said that $12,500 turned
into the treasury by the attorney gen.
eral, came from the Blocks of Macon.
But yesterday at Edgefield 'he told a
different tale. He said then it was the
unexpended balance from the $4,000
which the legislature appropriated for
prosecution of grafters. Mr.. Lyon
said he would be proud If he had as
Evans alleged been able to conduct all
these prosecutions on $4,000; but 1t
had cost more than that, though even
