boards and raising the standard of the
medical profession by more rigid re-
quirements for medical license

Union with separate boards for each
school The pending bill provides for

ernor from lists furnished by the re-

GREAT WASTE IN

and Possible Fraud.

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-EXtrava-
qance. waste and possible fraud are the
noints of criticism made in the report
of the house committee on expendi-
lures in public buildings which has Just
been submitted to the house. The
Committee saws 1t went into the build

The committee makes the recon-
mendation that government buildings
be standardized and endeavors to pui
out what it considers the folly of main
tanning a big force of draughtsmen and
architects to make plans for every
building constructed by the govern
mont. The report finds that since 1902
721 buildings have been erected and
that there are pending bills for $50
more at a proposed aggregate cost of
s700OO,OOO.

The committee urges congressman be

Shooting Occurs at
Blease Meeting.

At Kingston, still later, a shooting
affray followed a hectic meeting. and
one man lies still dangerously wounded
as a result Of the things that the gov
ernor said about Justice Jones.
Rlease still is upon the stump in a
campaign custom that prevails in South
Carolina and will keep both the chief
candidates in debate until five days be-
fore the primary He's a cowardly
liar" is the nightly denunciation Gov
ernor Blease hurls against the more
conservative Judge Jones, and from the
same stage Jones nightly shouts back,
Down with the demagogue and the
pardon CRATER"
Friends Of both men declare that a
personal encounter of most serious ma
ture is inevitable before the primary
determines whether Blease or Jones is
to win.
Meantime. while they barnstors1
around the state. South Carolnans are
finding out thoroughly for the first time
what Bleaseism and anti Bleaseism
means.

He II Take a Drink
With ANYBODY.

He takes a drink with anybody who
comes along and makes no objection
anywhere, upon visits TO the small
towns of his constituencies, he will
strike an attitude in front of the village
hotel and entertain a semi circle of
idlers with loquacious answers to all
the questions that may be asked him,
barring none, replete with profane and
abusive references to people who have
criticised or opposed him.
His paramount political principle ac-
cording to his own version. is to stand
by his friends" He has made that
principle of sticking by my friends at
any cost" the cry of his political cam
paigns All men who aren't his friends
he has frequently declared to be his en-
emies for whom he VIII do nothing.
Blease is a native Of Newberry, S. c.
He came Of good parentage, and though
he was a bit bombastic In the schools
there and used to bully some of the
smaller boys, nobody ever thought
anything about it and nothing serious
cropped out in his youths career until
he was Just about to graduate from
the South Carolina university.
He had been prominent student in
the universtty--a ready debater in pri-
vate Tits as we'll as in the debating so =
ciety One night they held a great col
lege meeting at which Cole Blease de-
livered an Grafton which the judges all
said had easily taken first prize. They
gave him a gold medal amid a great
cheering, but It was afterward charged
on the stump that the wonderful ora
ton Blease had spoken was NOT
Blease's Grafton at all but had been
almost bodily culled from the earlier
speeches of one of the most gifted
statesmen in America
Blease was expelled soon after and he
went from Newberry to the little town
OF Helena, near by, and began TO nrac-
tice law. He had married a Miss III
liam Summers, of Helena, and he made
his home in her fathers house and on
tered into politics. Always from that
early day to this Blease mixed politics
with his practice of the law. That ie
why Judge Jones is charging on the
South Carolina stump that Blease
elected governor of South Carolina
pardoned his old client, Wash Hunter
whom as lawyer he could not acouit
Of manslaughter charge. That is
why he is now being charged in South
Carolina with representing as state
senator the liquor interests in the dis
pensary graft while his law partner.
