Many other scholars might be nau-
ed in running over the list of Amer
lean political celebrities. The schol-
arship of some elevated the entire tone
of their careers. With others, as with
William L. Marcy, who delighted in
Plato, it was a thing apart. He was
spokesman at one hour and student at
another The nobler scholarship is
that which refnes men. until they are
above the sordid influence of spoilism.
1t was illustrated in our earlier -presi-

of seeking to procure the discharge of
rivals servants as of turning out
obscure customs and postofice clerks
of political faith opposite to theirs.

Chinese Chorus Girls.

In some Chinese theaters the stage
manager has an economical custom
of employing dummy figures cut out
of cardboard and the like, to swell
the ranks of the chorus without at the
same time swelling the salary list.
Obviously, such a device would never
do in this country, for a cardboard
chorus girl would dly satisfy the
matrimonial requirements of our gild-
ed youth. In China it is most unusual
for women to appear on the stage, and
the feminine roles are taken by hoys.

BLEASE ISSUES STATEMENT.
Will Prove the Charges False, Says
the Governor.

Columbia, July 15.-The following
was carried by the local afternoon
newspaper as a statement from the
governors Office:
"The governor dictated a statement
in regard to the recent testimony be-
fore the investigating committee,
which sat in Augusta, in which he said
he would in the future take up each
item of the charges against him and
make a denial and present proofs that
the charges were false. The COVER
nor's statement is as follows:
""The entire transactions as brought
out in Augusta have been done at this
time in the campaign for the purpose
of injuring me, thinking as we passed
over a half of the State that it would
be impossible for me to reach the peo-
| ple again. That whole thing is a It's
sue of misrepresentation and wlltul
lies, which 1 will show the people OF
the State at the proper time, with the
proofs. l have received numbers OF
teiegrams, letters and telephone mes
sages from my friends throughout the
State and from parties who have here
tofore never been my friends, in which
they denounce the committee for he
action it has taken and assuring me
of their undivided support. l am sat
Iisfed they have done me no injury,
but have materially strengthened me
with my friends and all other South
Carolinians who love their State and
who will resent the manner in which
this cowardly characterized and de-
bauchee and pimp has attempted to
injure the chief magistrate of this
State with the assistance Of this COM
2ittae'
referring to w. J. Burns, the de-
tective, the governor said, in my opin-
ion, Burns proved himself unworthy
of belief and a cheap hireling, as he
has in other of his transactions.
No Comment on Incident.
"The governor said he did not care
to make any mention of the incident
of Yesterday when he ordered j. n.
King and O. w. Watson out of his res
idence. He quoted one of these men
as using in his home words of very
ungentlemanly character.
"Sam ]. Nichols, who was connected
with the alleged pardon bribery
scheme as related by the Burns detec-
tive, left yesterday afternoon for his
home in Spartanburg.
Governor Blease said today that
Nichols had never mentioned anything
to him about pardon for Gus Deford,
and that no such pardon had been is
sued"

When a gasoline engine that is
known to have carried a load refuses
to do so again we should not condemn
the machine as a whole, but should
understand that probably one small
thing is out of order, and We should
search for and repair this trouble. The
best general treatment for the dis
eases of the gasoline engine is to make
free use of the proverbial ounce of
prevention in the form of gasoline,
good cylinder oil, good battery, a
good wiping rag, and a frequent and
close inspection of all bearings and
working parts. South Carolina has
no law regulating the quality of gas
oline offered for sale, and the farmer
must sometimes accept inferior gaso-
line or do without. The low grade
gasolines contain cheaper, less vola-
tile oils, and do not vaporize easily,
especially in cold weather. Pouring
hot water on the carburetor will help
to get the engine started in case there
is this trouble, and the heat from the
engine itself will usually vaporize the
gasoline after the engine warns up.
Care should be exercised in apply
ing hot water, not to get water into
the carburetor.
If gasoline contains water it may
be removed by straining through
piece of very fine wire cloth or
through a piece of chamois skin.
Regarding cylinder oil, on account
of the very high temperature OF the
interior of the gasoline engine cylin-
der a special oil having a high burn
ing point should be used in the cylin-
der. Ordinary machine oil or steam
engine cylinder oil should never be
used as the heat of the gasoline engine
cylinder chars these oils and covers
everything inside the cylinder with
a deposit of carbon that soon prevents
contact in the sparker and stops lg-
milton.
The writer has observed the case
of one gasoline engine which was
in excellent condition being discarded
by the operator, On the ground that
it could not be depended upon, when
the operator, despite repeated advice
to the contrary, insisted On filling the
lubricator with any oil that looked
black and thick. Use a good grade OF
gasoline cylinder oil and not more OF
it than the manufacturers directions
call for.
If ignition is by means of battery
one secret of successful operation is
to know your battery. Every gaso-
line engine operator should have
battery ammeter which may be bought
for a small sum, and with this the
battery should be tested frequently.
A good quality of dry cell suitable
for ignition should read from twenty
five to thirty amperes when new, and
a cell should be thrown away when
it will read lower than six amperes.
One dead cell in battery greatly
reduces it's power and should be re-
placed as soon as discovered.
Battery connections should be ex-
amined frequently, as they are very
disposed to work loose, especially If
the battery box is subject to any
shahing.

It is of happy augury for the new ad- ministration and for the party that the White House and tho popular branch of congress are to be upon such excellent terms. In the senate, two. winch will have a small demo crate majority Mir Wilson may look for support and cooperation.
 It is not merely fortunate that this Is so, it will be to the high advantage of the Wilson administration that the opposite condition does not exist A president who is out of touch, Out of harmony, with congress is shorn of a great part Of his powers. It was MT. Clevelaud's misfortune that the sen
 ate, although democratic in his sec, ond term was not in sympathy with his purpose to repeal the Silver Pur. chase act or with his tariff policy. The Administration and the party suffered from this d;scord. The promise Of en. tirely friendly relations and a spirit of mutual help between the next dem. ocratic president and the democratic congress, especially the house, is ol happy augury for the success of Mfr Wilson's administration. It is fortu nate for the party, too. We know from the repeated public assurances given by Mir. Wilson, Mir Underwood, and Speaker Clark that they are Of ont
 mind with respect to she tariff
 There is to be no tariff smashing That is not the spirit in which the work is to be approached. A moder ate. 9 reasonable, a just revision, Is 1 their purpose. They are agreed upoT that. Working in harmony along the lines of a policy which all accept ths path to revision will be free from tn, obstacles which jealousy and disagree
 ment would create and the end vii l therefore be more speedily reached With this spirit of harmony prevailing ] in the capital the democracy vii
 much more surely win and retail

 With postmasters it is different Unless there are charges that make dismissal advisable, they hold for a period of four years.

and prison officials are undertaking it. Attorney General Wickersham of the United States has recently inyesti- gated three federal prisons and in augurated some sweeping reforms.

 Since Governor Hunt inaugurateG the honor system, there have been numerous reports of escape from the prison and from the road and bridge gangs. It may we'll be that there is nothing in many of these stories but they are credited and the impression has become general that convicts are leaving the prison by the whole sale. Only recently 1t was reported that six had left in one week and that five had departed in a body.
 In view Of all this the governor owes it to the public to give more au. thoritative figures on this subject He might do so 1T. his message to the leg 1 islature or the superintendent of the

The following from the Albuquerque Journal, touching the road which will be traversed by those who seek fedora, offices under the Wilson administra- ton will be read with interest by the oFIce seekers in Arizona, Of which there are many:
 'It may be well for the democrats of New Mexico 10 understand at the outset that in the distribution of pat ronase within the state, outside in nuence will cut no figure. It was dif' ferent when we were a territory. Also should a citizen of New Mexico want a position that is not local, outside in nuence might be Of a material assist ance.

Several times within the paSI few months we have been asked to write something on The Value Of Paper in the Home" It is a timely sufiect and i am sure all will be iH- terested in its various Usesr but we shall have to divide it into several articles.

In view Of the countrys clearly man ifested desire for a speedy removal or tariff uncertainties through prompt re vision, it is fortunate that in the next administration the relations between the executive and the democratic house of representatives promise to be entirely harmonious. Upon two men in the house. more than upon any others. President Wilson must depend for that zeal and cooperation which will be essential to a satisfactory so- luton of the tariff problem, says the New York Times.

 The conduct of King Alfonso, who motored to the scene of the tragedy without an escort when he learned that Premier Canaleias had been as sssinated was characteristic Of d young monarch who has never finched under fire, and who has, upon sUndry occasions, proven himself every inch a king.
 Very probably Alfonso will die il his boots at the hands of a crack bTained anarchist, Eut he will not be a frightened victim. When the young ] king was returning to the royal pal. ace in Madrid with his English bride a bomb was thrown at his carnage | killed several persons near the equip, age and wounded two of the horses, bat the king showed no signs of fear | In Paris upn one occasion he was Q ! target for a bomb throver when he | was on his way to the races. Although | but narrowly missed he showed nc ! signs Of alarm and when the hubbui ' sutsided he continued his c0nyersa | ton, and his journey to the racetracks ! unmoved by the incident
 Kings are not of much use in th' world, but those who stow the grI 1 that Alfonso has shown may some
 times be decidedly ornamental If thu King of Spain goes to join his mur dered neighbor. the late Dom Carlo of Portugal. in the long list of crownei heads whose fate has proven that n' I divinity hedges about the lives O | kings. his murder will be regrettei

Evidently S. B. Bradner rendered his resignation to Governor Hunt as a member of the legislature on the theory that a memrer of the legisla- ture could not hold any other office in the state at the stame time. That this was the interpretation of he law is evidenced by he fact that when Mir. Bradner withdrew his resignation as a legislative member he resigned from the secretaryship of the state live stock sanitary board.
 If it be the law that a member Of the legislature may not remain mem- Der and at the same time hold any other public ofice carrying a salary or other emolument then when MT. Bradner accepted the secretarysnip of the sanitary beard he disqualified him self as a member of the legislature and once disqualified and out he cer- thinIy could not legally return to leg. islatiye service by simply resigning a position which caused his disqIali- fcation. ....
 It has also been suggested that Mir. Bradner is disqualified ps member of the legislature from CochIse coun, ty because of his established residence in Maricopa county It is reported that since his election to the legisla- ture Mir. Bradner has entered his name on the voting register of Mari Copa county. Of course this report may not be true. but if it is then clearly he is not qualified to repre- sent Cochise county in any future ses sion of the legislature.
 Certainly Cochise county would pre- fer to have her bona fide residents as members Of the legislature.
 IL would be better for Cochise CouU ty to stand che expense of a special election than to have the legality o laws enacted al the coming specia session questioned because of illesa members of the legislature .partic pating in their enaction.
