of the unconscious development of eu-
Senics in a race.
Building Up Race.
The Chinese he said. "are a big
Drained race. Of large physique, and
culture extending back for at least 1000
years. During this long stretch their
| country has been periodically swept by
| plague. with the result that only the
strongest have survived. Thus they have
| learned. as the European has not, the
vital lesson of race-persistence. In the
| process they have rigidly followed that
! Jaws of nature which winnows out the un-
| fit by killing them. However. it remains
| ming at the brth-rate instead of at the
death rate. There are two ways in
which we can do this-by taking meas
| ures to prevent the unfit from being
! born at all, or by building up the instinct
! to mate only with good lines of descent"
AS showing what may be done by fol-
| lowing the latter course, Mr.. Cady in
stanced the HerreshOff and Abbott fam
| lilies of this country. BY the exercise of
discretion and marrying only persons of
sound physique and high mentality,
showing no traces of hereditary weak
ness, he said. the family of which
Lyman Abbott is d member has
five authors, inventors and musical
geniuses, while the Herreshoff family
has produced eleven brilliant marine
architects and designers in the same
time. In the course of his lecture Mr..
Cady introduced his hearers to two newly
coined words. '.eutechnics'' and '.euto-
pia.' The former. he explained. means

assembly Is right as to those specific
items; but still we can see some justi-
fication for the governors vetoes. II
they serve no other good purpose, they
bring the attention Of the people more
directly to the real cause and origin
of taxes. When the people are called
to sit as a jury to decide the issue as
between Governor Blease and the gen.
eral assembly they will likely be told
more about some of these things than
they have known heretofore.
Just what would have been the re-
suit II the general assembly had ad-
journed and left the appropriation bill
in the hands of the governor, we do
not know, of course; but we think he
would not have riddled 1t quite as
severely as he did. We are inclined to
the opinion that If he had been con.
fronted with full responsibility he
might have let some of the items he
vetoed stand as they were. But al
the same time it is quite certain that
other items would have gone by the
board, and the general assembly act
ed the part of wisdom and prudence
in staying by the thing to the end.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-03-01

the receipt. When this was the case
the treasurer would sign the receipt,
enclose II In an envelope and send 1t
back to the taxpayer. But 1t was not
all smooth sailing. In some cases the
enclosure did not include the per
cent penalty. Sometimes that amount
ed to only 40 or 30 cents and some
times 1t would amount to only 2 cents;
but invariably Treasurer Neil would
go back on the taxpayer for the cor
rect amount. In the case Of one re-
mittance that was cents short, q by
stander remarked: 1T seems to me
that II would be cheaper to pay that
and let 1t CO." Yes, you just try
that" replied Treasurer Nell, "and by
the time the season Is over you will
find yourself In hole"
But along with the trouble and an.
noyance incident to the disposition Of
checks that were g. few cents under or
Ia few cents over the correct amount,
there was noticeable another feature
that was In the nature of pleasing
offset. The mail included many checks
that were simply signed in blank.
The senders, evidently thoroughgoing
business people, not informed as to
the exact amounts they were due,
adopted the simple expedient Of send
ing the checks signed in blank. and
leaving the treasurer to fill In the
|amounts exactly as they should be.
On the day referred to the treas
urer got about sixteen hundred dollars
in all. and Of this amount there was
less than $40O cash. The balance was
checks, money orders, etc. The money
was counted out and compared with
the receipt stubs, and balanced to a
cent. Sometimes, however, the treas
urer runs across an error, gets out Of
balance a few cents or a few dollars,
and there Is hard. anxious time un-
til he. gets straight. But no matter
how large or how small the discrep-
ancy. he never let's up until he gets 1t
exactly straight.
The receipts during Wednesday were
something over $4,000, and they were
probably as heavy yesterday; but the
treasurer has not been asked for the
figures. He said yesterday, however,
that he thought his collections would
be about as close as usual. and there
would be very few executions for the
sheriff.

speech and II has been stated with
emphasis that he will not indulge in
personalities. But that he will make
clear his own views on many Of the
doctrines advocated by Colonel Roose-
welt in Columbus. is almost certain.

ditions, and the only hope of perma-
nent relief from these conditions is a
give and take agreement upon some
big, broad man who can occupy the
governors chair without perpetuating
the miserable feud that has been
thriving In this state for more than a
generation.
We do not care to undertake to in
dicate just at this time the influences
behind Judge Jones; but We have no
hesitation in saying that we believe
they are such as will make thousands
vote for Governor Blease simply be-
cause they do not see how they can
ivote for Jones without stultifying
themselves.
Again there is a large and intelli-
gent class in this state which is so
disgusted with political conditions
that it deliberately refrains from go
ing to the polls. This class sees moth
ing in the present turmoil and strife
except factional politics. These men
should be given an opportunity to
come out and vote without having to
identify themselves with a faction. '''
Of course we recognize that we may
be entirely wrong; but We have
thought over the matter seriously and
without any selfish motive so far as
we are aware of. If we have an lake
to grind" We do not know it. The
only consideration we are willing to
acknowledge is what we conceive to
be the good of South Carolina, and
until there is more light than has ap-
peared up to this time, we beg leave
to remain "in the middle Of the road -

THE DICTIONARY CONTEST.

That Is a very attractive offer that
we are making to the schools Of York
county to give them two copies OF
Webster's New International diction-
lary, and we desire to make one or two
requests in connection with the con-
duct Of the contest.
In the first place we would like for
the principal or some teacher Of each
lcontesting school to take charge Of the
collection and forwarding OF coupons
for the school.
A very good way to manage Is to
put all the children who are willing to
help for their respective schools, to
collecting all the coupons they can and
let the children turn the coupons In to
the principals or teachers, who will
forward them to the contest editor at
this office.
The task of keeping books on a
contest like this Is no small one. It
requires in the first place, the keeping
of the coupons for each contesting
school separate, and in the second
place, a record Of the coupons as they
are voted. We undertake this work
with pleasure, and we would like the
principals or teachers representing
their respective schools to understand
that they are welcome to come In
whenever they like and see that every
body Is getting a fair deal.
At first blush, 1t might appear that
some Of the schools have a considera-
| BILE advantage over some Of the other
schools; but we do not think this Is
correct. The circulation Of The En-
quirer is distributed with wonderful
evenness over the greater part OF the
county, and there are at least twenty
five schools that have just as good op-
portunity to win as any Of their COM
petitors If they will only make the
most of their opportunities.
Very good evidence of the correct
ness Of this assertion Is found In the
fact that an individual won the other
dictionary we offered over all the
schools, though to be sure this could
hardly have occurred II the schools
| had not been handicapped by the
Christmas holidays.
But in the contest among the schools
| 1t was demonstrated that some OF the
smaller schools made remarkably good
showings as against their larger COM
petitors.
The fact of the matter is that sue
cess depends upon energetic, persist
ent. intelligent effort.
Another request we want to make
Is that all coupons be sent either d.
Irectly through the mail or handed into
this office in lunches. Collectors Will
please refrain from handing single
coupons or even punches Of coupons
to members of The Enquirer staff on
the streets. Coupons so delivered are
liable to be misplaced or overlooked.

The Appropristion Bill.

Governor Blease vetoed thirty -one
items in the appropriation bill, and all
but a few of these items have been
passed over the governors veto.
Just what the meaning Of this an
tagonism between the governor and
the general assembly Is on this partic-
ular bill we cannot say that we have
an entirely satisfactory idea. We can
not believe, however, that the general
assembly voted these appropriations
Just for the satisfaction Of spending
money and we cannot believe that
Governor Blease has used his vetoes
so freely solely for the purpose of con-
trarying the general assembly.
A majority of the members of the
general assembly, we feel quite sure,
are honest, earnest and conscientious,
and they should be given credit for
reasonable intelligence. Whatever else
may be said of the governor, he is not
a fool, and the man who takes him
for a fool will make a serious mis-
take Then why all this apparent con-
trariness?
AS the result of very considerable
thought that has been put upon the
situation, we have come to the conclu-
sion that there is more politics than
anything else in the miXup and as to
which side one Is to take depends very
much on how he stands on the taxa
tion question.
During the last campaign a certain
York county candidate for reelection
to the general assembly sized up the
taxation situation about like this: i
believe in holding taxes down as low
as possible; but there is the peniten-
ltiary to be supported. and the state
hospital, and the Cedar Springs insti-
tute, and the state colleges and the
state government, and the state debt
is to be provided for, and other things,
and as | do not see how any of these
appropriations for any of these pur-
poses can he cut, cannot promise you
any reduction of taxes"
it at the same time it will have to he
admitted that there was very little
hope in it.
Practical and well informed men
while there is no hope of reduction in
taxes on account Of any of the purpos-
es enumerated above, still there are
many little appropriations here and
there that are not absolutely neces-
sary; but owe their success to the fact
that different people backing other lit
tie appropriations of the same charac-
ter get behind each other, make COM
mon cause and i'm the aggregate all
these little appropriations make big
item that adds mills to the levy.
As is well known. Governor Blease
in all his campaigns made bold claims
as to what he would do in the way
of reducing taxes and really we do not
see how he could start in to make good
that promise except by vetoing a
bunch of items in the appropriation
bill 1t is not our purpose to attempt
to pass upon the wisdom of his re-
spective vetoes at this time. We do
not feel qualified to do so. 1t is quite
probable that some of them are right
and proper and it is quite probable
that in the case of others a failure of
the appropriation would result in loss
to the state instead of saving.
We think 1t probable that in most
cases where the general assembly has
passed items i'm the appropriation bill
over the governors veto. the general

= Columbia special Of February 27
to the News and Courier: The gen.
eral assembly was held over this, the
eighth week, largely on account OF the
failure to find the Crosson bill, pro-
yiding for the winding up of the af-
fairs Of the late state dispensary In the
secretary of states Office on Saturday
night. The report came from the gov
ernor's office that the bill had been
sent to the secretary Of state Saturday,
unsigned, but search failed to locate
1t. The receipt Of the assistant clerk
of the senate showed that the meas
ure had been delivered to the gov
ernor on Friday morning, and when
this information was conveyed to the
senate an executive session was called
and the legislature decided to remain
over this week. Mr.. Alex Rowland,
the governors private secretary. had
delivered a large number Of bills to
the secretary Of state on Saturday and
he was under the impression that the
Crosson bill was among them. How
ever he found on looking among his
receipts Saturday that there was none
there for this bill from the secretary
of state Searching among the effects
in the office Monday he discovered
the Crosson resolution under some req
uisition papers. He stated that he
had a large number of bills on his
desk Saturday which he took over to
the secretary of state. among these
had been the Crosson act, but II slip
ped off his desk and into the drawer
where the requisition papers stay, the
drawer being right under where the
large number Of bills were placed OH
his desk. On discovering where It had
been misplaced he at once took 1t
across to the secretary Of state. He
thought he took 1t there with the big
batch Saturday and was surprised
when It was stated that 1t was not
there. OF course, this matter created
good deal Of talk and comment and

The rebellion against President Ma
dero Of Mexico, is probably because
Madero has been guilty of bad faith to
his followers. During the uprising
against President Diaz it was under
stood that If Madero should win, the
large landed estates Of Mexico would
be divided up among Madero's follow
ers. But when Madero won, the prom
ise was forgotten, as such promises
usually are, and the people who made
trouble for Diaz are continuing to
make trouble for Madero.
