The Golden Imau.

Thoughtful Americans for man,
decades have deplored the fact thai
this country is money mad, that the
dollar mark is supreme. The; Israelites
when they turned away from. Moses tc
worship the golden image. did wha
the United States is doing, ,to-day. Sue.
cess is measured by the size of the
check a man can write.
An illustration of this is shown il
the reports from New York Her
newspapers have kept a corps of re-
Iporters attthe residence. of Mrs. Made
hne Force Astor, where huge crowds
of people have jammed, the sidewalks
and all for the simple purpose of know
ing just when the stork was going to
make his visit.
Granting that the father, who died in
the Titanic disaster. met his end as
gallantly and heroically as hundreds OF
others in that asvful calamity, that the
mothers escape, like that of scores OF
others, was one for which all peoples
were thankful. would the same interest
have been shown had the stork visited
the home of an unknown passenger
who escaped from the Inflated ship
All will rejoice that the youthful
bride has . son to whom she can look
for some surcease TO her great sorrow,
will smile with her over the doings OF
her babe. will grieve with her that the
little one will never see his father. This
is as it should be-
Yet New York seems to have gone
crazy over the event People who
will never meet and possibly do not
care to meet the family have shown
the greatest interest in the latest news
from the Astor home Why? If it had
been a poor family. would they have
shown more than passing interest
We do not believe they would. But
the child is born rich. riches that came
without any effort on his part, riches
that were created by unearned incre-
ment of the vast realty interests of the
family estate, and the American people
go down on their knees in worship.
Happy will be thar child if it grows
up without being spoiled by adulation,
without being pampered by his wor-
shippers; but how much happier he
would be If in the years to come he
could think of the old swimming hole,
the time he went "cooning," or when
he was given his first pair of suspen-
ders. Some of us hold these as our
pleasantest recollections
While we rejoice with the vast null
titude of other Americans over the
happy issue of an interesting event, we
cannot help feel that the columns
of ''gush" printed all over the country
are not so much to the mother and the
babe as to the millions they repre-
sent, for every day there are printed
in the news columns of the press tens
of thousands of notices of "To-days
Births" to which not even line OF
comment is devoted.

The Climax of Selfishness.

Nothing could better illustrate the
absolute selhshness of Mr.. Roosevelt S
character than the announcement that,
under his direction, an effort will be
made to defeat Republican candidates
for Congress by nominating Progress
sives in various districts
When Mr.. Roosevelt was President
he needed the assistance of Republican
members of the House to give legis-
lative force to the measures which he
advocated. He did not hesitate to call
upon them for support, and they re-
sponded with universal loyalty Many
of the meH who thus stood by him still
retain their seats and are seeking re-
election. Mr.. Roosevelt seems to have
forgotten the service which they rem
dered. They are not with him now,
and they are, therefore, to be sacrificed.
1t is evident that his ambition ignores
such commonplace thing as gratitude.
1t is no wonder that these men feel
bitter toward Mr. Roosevelt. They
cannot forget, even if his memory is
short-lived, that without them Mr..
Roosevelt could have accomplished lit
tie or nothing during his administra-
ton. They wer: loyal Republicans
then and they are loyal Republicans
now. 1t is Mr.. Roosevelt who, with
supreme selhshness, would wreck the
party which honored him and who
would involve in the disaster which
he seeks the men who labored with him
to make his administration successful,
powerful, and effective for good.

Our Future Mothers" :"

The moral status of girls in cities
like New York is very pressing, ac-
cording to the reports from the East
Side Settlement House. Girls are
New York's greatest problem as well
as the greatest problem of this coun-
try. To quote this report there is
subtle poison harmirA our femininity
and leading from prosperity to poverty.
The society girl INDUCES in question
able dress and manners This is imi-
tated by the working girl and cxag-
gerated in the process.
The attack of the Settlement House
workers is directed principally against
two things. dress and dancing They
declare that the present styles of dress
are indecent, and that unless reform
comes we shall soon become conscious
of a degradation that will mean lasting
harm to nation in need of mothers
for its future existence. Dancing as
copied by working girls partakes OF
improperly. A harmful adjunct is city
life and It's modern conditions. The
trend OF society is to drive girls to
work for living In large cities they
must live under conditions that pre-
vent the formation of the spirit of
home life.
The problem Of health. morality. and
education of the working girls of our
country, according to the ladies who
devote themselves to settlement work,
is therefore the greatest that confronts
us amid all others that we believe to
be great 1t is a national question and
must be attacked at the point of its
greatest inroad, namely, where our
manner of living is destroying our
homes and consequently allowing
generation to grow up that has no
taste for home
A sequel is the lack of training for
motherhood. Schools for this purpose,
one of which has lately been estab-
lished in New York. are in urgent
need. When all is said, the only thing
that can bring about the desired
change is education but OF different
kind than that of the past.
Suffrage. say the settlement people.
will be of no use in helping to solve
this great problem of fitting the grow
ing girls of the cities to be women of
right ideals and proper ideas. In olden
days, they aver, the countryside was
cruder than the cities, while now it is
reversed. They do not know OF a room
in the neighborhood, of the East Side
Settlement House in New York where
a family can sit down together for a
meal. And the church does nothing.
There are four churches in that entire
neighborhood for 10000 personsl
The report takes an altogether peSsi-
mistic view. but for all that need not
be exaggerated. There must be care
and guardianship for the girl BY in
creased education, increased provision
for arnusements OF the right kind, and
various societies that shall sbe a de-
tense and help along the whole line
The settlement workers are right in
every word they say. But who is TO un-

To Boys Corn Clubs.

Each year about timA,to gather corn
"e a number Of the boys of the
Boys Corn Club write to this office
for information as to the method to
be used in measuring their land and
corn. Many boys who do not write
20 ahead and gather their corn but
make very inaccurate measurements
of both corn and land. The method
used is as follows: Weigh every bit
of the corn in the suck. After the to-
tai weight is found weigh two lots
of 100 pounds each from different
parts of the total. Suck and she'll
these two lots and weigh the shelled
corn in order to find the average
percentage of shelled corn. Multiply
the total weight by this percentage
and divide by 56 in order to get the
total number of bushels.
All the above should be done by two
disinterested witnesses. 1t is not nee
essary to have the land surveyed by
regular surveyor, but simply mea-
sured by the two witnesses, who may
use an ordinary tape. The acre should
contain only 4S40 square yards.
Where the yield goes above 100
bushels per acre an additional rule
will be necessary: On the day of
weighing take a fair sample of IL
gallon of shelled corn and mail the
same in a moisture-tight package to
the Farmers Cooperative Demonstra-
tion office, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., together with GER
tificate of the total weight and the
per centage of sheiled corn. The de-
partment will have a moisture test
made of the sample and the weight
moisture test, and percentage of shell
ed corn, determine the official yield.
The moisture-tight package or vessel
will be furnished by applying to the
Extension Division of Clemson Col
lege. They can be mailed under frank,
thus using no postage. Any yield of
| 100 bushels or more will not be recog-
nized unless the above rules are strict
ly carried out. Blanks for making
the report of the crop will be furnish
ed by boys. Any boy who has not
yet received the blank may obtain
one by writing the Special Agent
Boys Corn Club, Clemson College, S.
IC.

been sold to the S. c. w. and that
the road will be extended to Monroe
in the near future. 1t is impossible
just at this time to give any positive
information about the proposed move.

that there must be some truth in the
report as engineers are at work sur
veying between McBee and Jefferson

Strengthening the road.
1t is nedless to discuss the advan-
tages such a road would give to Page
land, Jefferson and other points along
the line.-Pageland Journal.
A exporter for The Courier asked Mr.
L. A. Kerr, president of the c. NJ. & c.
Road, one day last week if the report
was true that movement was on foot
to sell his road to the S. G. w., and
he informed us that there was abso-
lutely no foundation to the report. A
survey is being made, however, along
the line of the G. Nj. & G. for the
purpose of Strengthening the road, and
for no other purpose, or at least, just
at this time.-The McBee Courier.
