Political Straws.

The following paragraph from the
Sumter Item summarizes about ell
that developed in the precinct meetings
last Saturday that seems to he worth
mentioning:
Governor Blease was a candidate as
a delegate to the county convention and
was defeated in his home club in New
berry. After his defeat he withdrew
from the club and was subsequently
elected a delegate by a mill club near
Newberry. Mr.. Geo. r. Rembert was
also defeated as delegate in Columbia.
Mr.. Rembert was the leader Of the
Blease faction in the legislature.
In Beaufort the Blease faction car
ried everything their way. Neill
Christensen and other anti-Blease lead
ers being defeated as delegates to the
ty Blease and Jones lines were closely
drawn in the club elections and Jones
won out, IS to 95, delegates elected be-
ing Jones men. Jones Is also said to
have won in Anderson.
Although the Item Is not guilty Of
anything Of the kind-certainly not in
the present instance-there Is a decided
tendency on the part Of the newspapers
to allow themselves to become over-ex
cited as to matters political, to greatly
exaggerate everything that looks as II
it can be used to advantage or disad-
vantage as the case may be.
AS we have remarked before, and as
people who are familiar with club or
ganizations are aware, not a circum-
stance recited in the. paragraph quoted
Is Of significance as indicating any,
thing more than that in some locali-
ties partisans were more or less active
for their respective sides.
Ordinarily, 1t Is an easy matter to
pack a club meeting with a sufficient
number of partisans to carry a given
point, and the cases cited above mere
ly show how in some cases one side
was successful, while in other cases the
success went to the other side.
The indications are that in Newber-
ry, Columbia and Edgefield the Jones
people showed a little more activity
than the Blease people, while in Beau
fort the Blease people were most act
i've; but in every case these activities
are confined to individual clubs and
there is no certainty that full vote OF
any one of those clubs will confirm
what was done in the packed meetings.
The Item heads the paragraph quo
ted Political Straws," and it will have
to be admitted that the heading is
most appropriate. because not a cir
cumstance quoted is Of more signifi-
cance as a pointer than a straw blown
by the wind. We have reference to re-
suits, of course. That there are indi-
cations of a fight there is no ques-
tiOn

LET MEXICO ALONE.
v. S. Army Officer Thinks Intervention
Would Mean Fifty Years of War.

Intervention in Mexico means fifty
Years war;" according to a statement
made at the war department last Sat-
urday by Brig. Gen. Anson Mills, u. S.
A., retired, who is one Of the Mexican
boundry commissioners of the United
States, and who has been almost con-
stantly in touch with developments on
the boundary and in the interior Of
Mexico.
Brig. Gen. Mills told army officers of
the general staff yesterday that there
was no reason whatever for the United
States to think of intervening in Mexi-
leo. and that the immediate conse-
quences Of such action would spell pro-
longed trouble and complications which
few persons here even dreamed Of
Let the MeXicans fight 1t out!" is
the slogan of Brig. Gen. Mills, reiter-
ated to war department officers yester-
day. Let them fight as we were al
lowed to fight during our civil war.
Think of what would have happened II
some foreign power had attempted to
intervene in our war.
IF the army should enter Mexico
soil, it would be fifty years before it
would come out. 1t would mean 250,-
900 men in the field, and even then it
would be an endless process to subdue
the country. We might take Mexico
City with $4,000 troops, but what good
would that do?" Madero has Mexico
City now, but there is still fighting in
Mexico.
Americans are not in danger in
Mexico, and l would feel safer in many
of the Mexican cities today than in
many places in the United States.
There never was a time when the rights
of Americans were being given more
consideration in like conditions than
the present time in Mexico. While this
vague talk of Americans being endan-
gered is going on in the United States
these Americans themselves are being
given a thousand times more protec-
ton than the Mexicans themselves. In
many instances Americans legitimate
ly imprisoned for crimes have been
let out Of Jail simply because they are
Americans.
Mexico has not done-one- tenth the
harm to Americans that Americans
have done to Mexico. Was not the
present revolution started from the
United States, with money from the
United States, and even the men from
the United StateS-a great part OF
them? They were Mexicans, but AM
erican MeXicans, and many went into
Mexico from the Texas border. At the
beginning of the revolution there was
ten times as much excitement on the
American side of the border as in Mex
leo. The activity was all here. And
yet now we talk Of the necessity OF
American Intervention.
Let Mexico alone, and matters will
adjust themselves in that country. We
can rest assured that neither England,
Germany nor France would think OF
intervening. even if the United States
would sanction it. France, backed by
Austria, tried it once, and had enough.
That was lesson which has never
been forgotten"

taken and each delegate should vote
for his choice. the result would not
only show the sentiment of the conven-
ton; but also the sentiment of the
A resolution endorsing some
particular candidate does not necessar-
lily show the sentiment with regard to
other candidates. The practical signifi-
canoe of any resolution Is more or less
doubtful, however. Suppose for in
stance, York shuld endorse Woodrow
Wilson or Champ Clark as the case
may be and instruct delegates to CO.
lumbia accordingly There would be
nothing the matter with that, but
while it would he the duty Of the York
delegation to cast its first ballot In the
state convention in accordance with the
instructions, If the first ballot or sub
sequent ballots should develop that
York is standing alone or in hopeless
minority, unless the delegates have
authority to use their discretion, they
are placed in a position which Is, to
say the least, rather embarrassing.
While The Enquirer is Indifferent as to
what the convention may do in the
matter of instructing delegates, we are
decidedly Of opinion that the primary
ballot is the only way to get at the real
preference of the convention as be-
tween the various candidates.

THE COTTON CROP.

1t Is a common saying among the
farmers and others just now that there
will certainly be considerable reduc-
tion Of the cotton crop in this section
this year, If not by reason OF the acre
age reduction plan, then certainly by
reason Of the unfavorable seasons.
Reports from different sections indi-
cate that while some cotton has been
planted in various parts Of the county,
the total acreage hardly includes as
much as ten per cent Of what the far
mers expect to put in, even with due
regard to their acreage reduction
pledges, but even yet it Is too early to
undertake to say what might happen.
The view has been expressed to The
Enquirer that notwithstanding the
backwardness Of the season, there Is
danger that a large acreage of cotton
may yet go in. They argue that the very
backwardness Of the season, and the
small amount of work done are them
selves calculated to stimulate extraor-
dinary efforts, that may extend the
planting time beyond the usual limits
There seems to be little reason to
dispute the fact that the present up
ward tendency in the price Of cotton
Is due more to the Mississippi floods
and the general backwardness of the
season than to any other one cause.
The bulls are urging that a large acre
age Is impossible, and the bears, while
not at all convinced Of the soundness
OF the bull claim, are nevertheless more
or less fearful that present unfavorable
conditions may continue until the bull
claim is fully realized,

If it were possible to get down to bed
rock facts, it is probable that 1t would
be disclosed that the principal secret
Of the strong fight that Roosevelt is
making against Taft lies in the desire
of the outs to get in. While formerly
the outs were able to hold their pa
eight years, nowadays they are be-
ginning to consider four years plenty
long enough. While Mr.. Taft took care
of many of Mr.. Roosevelt's friends and
kept the old organization almost as it
was, if Mr.. Roosevelt should get into
the saddle again, it would be safe to
guess that most of the Taft partisans
would have to step down and out.

POSTAL SAVINGS BONDS.

The postoffice department has ar
ranged to begin the issuance of postal
savings bonds on July l, and to the end
that patrons of the postal savings bank
may know just how the new system
will be worked, is distributing the fol-
lowing through the postal savings
banks:
Il. By applying on or before June 1,
1912, depositors of the postal savings
system may exchange the whole or q
part Of their deposits for United States
registered or coupon bonds in denomi-
nations Of 500, $100, and $500, bearing
interest from July l, 1912, at the rate
'of "a per cent per annum, payable
semi-annually, and redeemable at the
pleasure Of the United States after one
year from the date of issue, both prin-
cipal and interest payable 20 years
from that date in United States gold
coin.
'2. Postal savings bonds are exempt
from all taxes or duties of the United
States, as well as from taxation in any
form by or under state, municipal or
local authority.
"3. Applications for the conversion
of deposits into bonds on July l. 1912.
must be received on or before June I,
1912. by the postmaster at the deposit
tory office where the certificates were
issued. The postmaster will supply an
application form, which must be made
out in triplicate. The depositor must
indorse and surrender with his applica-
ton postal savings certificates cover
ing the amount of the bonds desired,
for which the postmaster will give him
receipt. When the postmaster re-
ceives the bonds applied for he will no.
tify the depOsitor and will deliver the
bonds on presentation of the RECENT
for the certificates surrendered.
"A. The conversion of deposits into
bonds at a date less than one year af-
ter the certificates began TO bear in
terest fOrfeits interest on the deposits
as i'm the case Of withdrawal for any
other purpose.
"5. Postal savings deposits con-
verted into bonds are not counted as q
part of the maximum of $500 allowed
one depositor, and there Is no limita-
tiOn on the amount of available postal
savings bonds which may be acquired
finally by a depOsitor. The exchange
is considered as taking effect on July

convert into bonds all or part of the
maximum balance Of $500 may deposit
an additional amount in July, though
the bonds may not yet have been de-
livered.

John Duncan keeps shelling the
woods in his paper, the Columbia Re-
porter, and although he scatters con-
siderably, it will have to be admitted
that if he could have access to a larg-
er number of people, he would increase
the existing lack of confidence in the
political situation generally. In his
last issue, he charges that neither the
governor nor his opponents want T. b.
Fielder to come back to South Carolina
for fear that in an effort to clear him
self. Fielder would have to give testi-
mOny that would prove embarrassing to
both sides. Indeed, he asserts that the
governor and his enemies would make
friends with each other, rather than
permit disclosure that might be made.
But generally speaking, Duncan's ram
blings are dismissed as the irresponsi-
BILE vagaries of a crazy man. AS to
whether he is craZier than some of the
others is hard question to arrive at.

TEACHING THE YOUNG IDEA.
Reflections Of Visitor to the Tirzah
School Entertainment.
for Yorkvilla Enouiror.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
Some impressions, briefly expressed,
suggested by attending the closing OF
the Tirzah school April 26th. The
human mind is a curious, strange,
intangible invisible, incomprehensi-
Die Thing! Scientists tell US that the
human Drain is like photographers
chemically prepared card in that 1t
is capable or receiving and retaining
thousands, yea, millions of impress
sions, and that these Impressions, these
Intellectual germs or seeds may lie
dormant In the invisible recesses for
long years-in fact that they may re-
main In latent state to the end OF life,
or they may, by the magic touch OF
the faithful teacher, be aroused and
made to germinate and develop al
most aluminium.
Phrenologists tell us that there is
a wonderful difference In the forma-
ton Of heads; some small, some medi-
normal, some finely formed. So much for
the theory Of natural capacity. Speak
ing further Of the mystery OF menu
ory and the faculty OF receiving and
retaining and expressing ideas and
Impressions; how Is II possible for the
teacher to take charge Of so large a
number of boys and girls-a number
of them without previous training, q
number Of them of tender years-and
awaken an interest and a desire to
learn, and then train and develop
their minds to the extent that they
can commit to memory and repeat
long and beautiful poems with fine ef-
feet, or declaim with all the ease and
grace, or fire and enthusiasm of
modern Cicero.
Imagine that If we could go behind
the scenes and witness the daily, hour
ly, persistent, undefatigable training
on the part Of the faithful teacher and
almost despair on the part of the pu-
pill to be crowned at last by success
and see the mutual Joy Of teacher and
pupil, then we would be better able
to appreciate the truth of the old
adage that there Is no excellence
without great labor"
Teaching must be something akin
to the work Of the sculptor, as with
mallet and chisel he attacks the rough
block Of granite, and continues to
chip, chip, chip, from day to day
until he evolves the beautiful, grace
full, polished shaft.
1t must, indeed, be a source of much
real pleasure to the teacher to realize
the fulflllment Of their hopes in the
success Of their pupils as they go out
to fight the battles Of life.
Let US hope that the mission of the
school teacher may be appreciated as
never before and may their faithful
labors be strengthened by the hearty
cooperation Of every parent and ev-
cry citizen in the land.

Yorkville, s. C.
