THE USE OF THE BALLOT.
The Man Who Votes Conseientiously y
Will Generally Vote Riqht,


We believe in the doctrine that ev-
to vote as his judgment dictates, and
even If his judgment be poor 1t Is bet
ter to follow 1t than to follow the judg-
ment of some fellow who thinks he
knows exactly what-Yorkville Enqui-
rer.
You are eminently correct about
that. One may vote right" II he fol-
lows somebody else's dictation, but
he will never be fit to vote IL he does
he will simply be giving some other
man an extra vote, and no man Is enti-
tied to more than one In political
election.
I'VE learn to do by doing" is an
axiom among good teachers, who do
not believe in doing things for pupils,
but in encouraging them to do for
themselves.
Lord Macaulay said many years
ago that the cure for the ballot Is the
exercise of the ballot" 1t does not
look reasonable at first; but the more
one thinks of 1t the more reasonable 1t
appears, and experience and observa-
ton prove its truth.
The voter who votes according to
outside dictation never learns how to
vote intelligently. The man who votes
according to the dictates of his own
judgment may err, of course, but he is
good citizen and In time will become
wise voter.
The man who votes conscientiously
and without prejudice, and according
to his own judgment, will vote right in
nine cases out Of ten.-Newberry OBJ

tunes with philosophic composure.
Technically he filled the position of
overseer at The Oaks, but the judges
activity was so great that this position
was largely a sinecure. The most ar
duous work he performed was spend
ing his wages.
Certain trifiing peculiarities surviv-
ed with the judge even after he had
entered what he had once been prone
to call the Portal Of Hope; for while
his charity was very great and he lived
with the splendid air Of plenty that be-
longed to an older order, it required
tact, patience. and persistence to trans
act business with him; and his credit
ors, Of whom there were always re-
spectacle number, discovered that he
esteemed them as they were aggressive
and determined. He explained to Yam
cy that too great certainty detracted
from the charm of living for, after all,
life was a game-a gamble-he desir-
ed to be reminded Of this. Yet he was
held in great respect for his wisdom
and learning, which was no more ques-
toned than his courage.
Thus surrounded by his friends, who
were devoted to him, he began Hanni-
balls education and the preparation Of
his memoirs. intended primarily for the
instruction of his grandson, and which
he modestly decided to call The His
tory OF My Own Times, which clearly
showed the magnifcence of his mind
and it's outlook.

Regrets Connection With Dispensary.
While honestly regret ever having
had anything to do with It," said
Evans. referring to the old state dis
pensary and the criticism Of the same,
yet the liquor houses which were said
to have paid graft under the old state
dispensary are today selling liquor to
the county dispensaries at higher
price than the old state dispensary
paid"
The witness offered to assist the
committee any way that he could and
promised to ask Governor Blease for
the "T. B." letters for the committee to
inspect, the letters to be returned to
Evans by the committee. He said that
II he had the records Of his office while
he was on the dispensary board he
could give the committee all the infor-
nation desired as to the doings Of the
dispensary while he was on the board,
but that the detectives employed by
the Christensen-Lyon investigating
committee In 1905 ransacked his Office
in, his absence and got possession Of
the data.
tYou won't find all the minutes Of
my board, for they were burned, at
least a part Of them, In the Columbia
hotel by Goodman and @. H. Charles"
he said. He however, said If the at
tOrney general would assist him he
would get together such Of the records
as were left and then use them In his
testimony.

and good sized audience heard his
testimony this afternoon.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.
Difference OF Opinion as to Which OF
the Two Is Stronger.

The NewberIy Observer advises that
Democratic newspapers can do no bet
ter than urge upon the Republicans
that they nominate Mr., Roosevelt. The
Observer gives the advice because 1t
thinks Roosevelt will be easier to de-
feat than any other man the Republi-
cans can nOminate,-YOrkville Enqui-
rer.
The Enquirer has mixed them ba-
bies up" Some other paper must be
meant, The Observer has not said
that Roosevelt will be easier to defeat
than any other man the Republicans
can nominate" Quite the contrary;
the Observer has said repeatedly that
Roosevelt would be the hardest man to
beat of all the candidates named for
the Republican OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Observer,
The Enquirer pleads guilty to having

ment referred to In another paper,
credited to the Observer, but does not
remember what paper 1t was. 1t Is
frankly admitted, however, that the
opinion quoted did not sound like an
Observer opinion.-Yorkville Enquirer
The baby shall no longer remain
without a guardian. 1t was the Her
aid and News that made the remark
which seems to have gotten mixed
We intended to acknowledge 1t last
week when the Observer disclaimed
fatherhood. but 1t escaped our atten-
tion. We admit that we know very lit
tie Of politics and less OF politicians,
and we may be entirely mistaken, but
we are still Of the opinion that Mr.
Taft would be a stronger candidate for
the Republicans than Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t
Is true that Mr.. Roosevelt Is very
active and very aggressive man and
one who does things and the American
people love a man who does things
whether he does them right or not, but
we do not believe that the people will
give any man three terms, and besides
that, Mr.. Taft Is a conservative, busi-
ness man, who has the confidence of
the business people. We may be en-
tirely mistaken. but we have no objec-
ton to having the remark properly
credited.-Newberry Herald and News

463,934 square miles. A little more
than two -fifths of the United States In
North America was acquired for the
cost of the Greensboro and Manhattan
bridges across the East river.
In 1853 Uncle Sam became liberal
and made his second deal with Mexi-
co, the Gadsden Purchase, buying a
narrow strip along the southern boun-
Diary Of Arizona and New Mexico. 36,-
211 square miles. for s10.000,o00, or
43.15 cents per acre. the top price paid
for an addition to our territory.
For fourteen years after the Gadsden
Purchase, Uncle Sam retired from the
real estate market. Then another
royal customer presented himself.
In 1857, the czar of all the Russias,
in consideration Of $7,200,000 Of good
and lawful coin Of the realm, set over,
assigned, bargained and sold to the
United States of America all Of his
right, title and interest in and to che
599,446 square miles of territory, more
or less, known as Alaska, and further
covenanted to relinquish all claims to
the tract Of land then jointly occupied
by Russia and the United States and
now embraced in the states Of Wash
ington and Montana. The low price,
one and nine-tenths cents per acre,
was doubtless due to the inaccessible
ty of the property, as at that time
nothing was known Of the gold depos-
It's which were later discovered In the
Klondike and other sections.
Having thus retired every European
nation except England from the con-
tinent Of North America, Uncle Sam
lay OH his oars until the war with
Spain had been fought and won. Then,
with his characteristic generosity he
again relieved the stress Of the Span
ish crown by paying into its treasury
20,100, 900 bright new dollars, in con-
sideration of which the rebellious
Philippine Islands were ceded to the
United States and we became a factor
In affairs In the Orient. For these 49,
O63 square miles we paid fraction
less than 20 cents an acre, next to the
highest price ever paid by the govern
ment.
From the above figures 1t will be
seen that total Of 2.247.659 square
miles Of land has been purchased at q
cost Of $76,O4S,76S, or an average Of
five and twenty eight hundredths cents
per acre.
While $76,049,768 Is not an appalling
sum Of money in these days Of tremen-
dous fiscal transactions, the total area
of land acquisitions to our government
by these deals" is so vast that mere
figures do not set the meaning Of 1t all
clearly before the readers eye. The
amount Of territory acquired is prac-
tically as large as all that portion Of
the United States west Of the Missis-
sippi river, or seven times as large as
the original thirteen states.
For this territory we paid about one
half Of what the government pays ev-
cry year in pensions. The four bridges
across the East river cost more than
the whole amount Less than one
third Of the annual budget Of the city
of New York would have bought It all.

MAKE WAR A HORROR.
England Considers She'll Filled With
Snallpox or Cholera.

England Considers She'll Filled With
Smallpox or Cholera.
If the nations of the earth do not
want peace, then let them have war
| in earnest. This is the nature of the
programme now being considered by
the English government, a programme
that, instead Of explosives now used
calls for shells filled with smallpox,
cholera or typhoid fever, fire bombs,
"Blindite'' bullets and other modes OF
destruction and desolation. The war
fare of the future, If any Of these plans
are adopted, will be a war between
chemists instead Of gunmakers, and
the nation with the most ingenious
scientists will be the one to conquer.
One of the plans now being consid-
cred calls for an alright shell, filled
with billions of germs Of cholera or
smallpox or typhoid. Fired into a be-
sieged city, these deadly shells will do
their work far more effectively than
any melanite, lyddite or other explo-
|sive ever invented. The thickest armor
plate or the heaviest guns in the world
will be useless against them. In a
week the besieged city would be a
mere pestilence-laden graveyard, which
even the victors would hesitate in en-
tering.
Another idea of q chemist inventor
is "a shell filled with material that will
literally set the atmosphere on fire.
When this shell bursts over a town or
camp the air will be filled with blaz-
ing, red-hot sparks that will settle
down and burn everything within
reach. The atmosphere itself will be-
come so heated that no living being
could exist in 1t for more than a few
minutes.
The war office Of Great Britain Is
giving serious attention to a new fog
shell, long the dream Of many nations.
When the fog shell explodes. the air
for hundreds Of yards around the spot
will be filled with a thick, dense fog.
The largest Dreadnought would be rem
dered useless in q few minutes by one
of these shells, and that without injur-
ing the ship in anyway. 1t would sim
ply be shut in by the fog, mist so
thick that no search Light could pene-
trate it. A few torpedo boats, once the
fog shell had been exploded, could
sink their huge enemy with practically
no danger to themselves. 1t would
render a submarine invincible.
But the most horrible Of the new In
ventions has been called "Blindite." AS
it's name implies it Is a ghastly SUBJ
stance which blinds any one within
reach. 1t is claimed that enough
"Blindite" can be put into an ordinary
rifle bullet to blind dozen people. A
shell filled with this would blind ev-
cry one within radius Of 100 yards.
Such shell. exploding over a war
ship, would leave 1t absolutely help
less, while 1t would put whole army d.
visions out Of action at single stroke.
The chemist who discovered the sub
stance has been almost blind ever
since.
