Church members have no right to
condemn the liquor traffic and then
to rent stores In which to carry on
the same. Naturally therefore. these
people when they saw their Illegal
gains interfered with should request
Jesus to depart. v. II, and this even
in the face OF what had been done for

S:37) that they were holden with q
great fear. Fear OF what7 Surely not
any fear Of this Galilean teacher, but
rather were they fearful or the effect

sins to account for when In the face
Of known facts they still press for

fiicted and careless of unreasonable
house and unsanitary living condi-

fuse such logical and seemingly rea-
sonable and proper q request as thar

BULL MOOSE LEADERS MEET,
MunScy and StIuIS Declare Republic
cans Must Swallow Platform.

New York, Dec. S.-COl. Roose-
welt and $50 other Progressive party
leaders and members left for Chicago
to-day on a special train Of ten cars,
from the rear OF which in electric
letters was emblaZoned Bull Moose
Special They will attend a confer
ence Of the Progressive Party Tues
day and Wednesday.
The occasion Of this mid-winter po-
litical activity is the proposed solidi-
fication Of the new party and the
making Of plans for future cam
paigns. Members from other States
are on the way to join in the Chicago
conference.
Col. Roosevelt and his party were
cheered by small crowd as they
left at | o'clock. Although the colo
mel had no comment to make upon
the situation. several members Of
his party, particularly Oscar Straus
and Frank A. Munsey, declared that
If the Republican party hoped to re-
juvenate itself it would have to be
turning Progressive.
These sentiments are In reference
to the decision Of tho Republican
Governors conference in Washing
ton yesterday 20 await another year
before taking steps to reorganiZe the
party, with the hope expressed that
PrOgressives would be brought back
into the fold.
Mr.. Munsey said those attempting
this task "had a big job on their
hands" He added that the only way
to achieve the union was for the Re
publicans to accept the Progressive
platform and policies and come into
the party as formed. If they did
this, he said, the two parties could
be united.
Similar sentiments were expressed
by several Others or the party. More
than a score Of women were in the
party which took the train here.

WORK SYSTEMATICALLY.

For several years 1t has been a GUS
tom in Walhalla for a few young men
to secure contributions about Christ
mas time for the purpose Of giving a
little pleasant Christmas surprise and
pleasure to the poor Of our town and
community and to the unfortunates
in the county aims house and jail.
1t is very appropriate, and the efforts
Of the past have been most commend
able.
We merely suggest that little
more system In the work, and earlier
preliminary steps In the way of look
ing up the poor who can be helped,
will be Of material aid to those who
usually take up this voluntary char
liable work. Would 1t not be we'll
for those who have the plans In
charge this year to call upon the la
dies for assistance? There are plenty
who will gladly and willingly lend a
hand to any such undertaking. The
work will be larger and better for
their assistance.

DIR. w. d. CRUM is DEAD.
Famous Charleston Negro Succumbs
to Attack of African Fever.

Charleston, Dec. DR.. w. D.
Crum, colored, died here Saturday
from African fever, contracted In LII
beria where he had been sent as
United States minister.
The death Of Dr.. Crum removes a
figure about which a bitter political
controversy was waged, a controversy
which made Of him for time a fig
ure Of national Importance. When,
on April /, 1908, he was appointed
collector Of the port Of Charleston by
President Roosevelt, storm of op-
position broke out, not only in this
city, but all over the South. Senator
Tillman and others made long, hard
fight against the confirmation Of the
appointment by the Senate, but their
efforts were in vain. This fight
was renewed in 1909, when President
Roosevelt reappointed Crum to the
office, Senator Tillman conducting a
successful flibuster to prevent con-
flrmation of the appointment. On
February 27, 1909, Dr.. Crum wrote
to President Roosevelt resigning the
position. The resignation took effect
on March 4, the day on which Presi
dent Roosevelt stepped out Of Office
and was succeeded by William ii.
Taft.
1t had been reported that Presi
dent Taft would probably give Crum
another position in the service Of the
government, and the 'rumor was con-
firmed when he was named by the
President as United States minister
to Liberia and consul general at Mon
rOvia.
The Crum matter was the cause Of
intense bitterness between Senator
Tillman and Roosevelt.

"When | came into office, 30 dis

seen 81 others vote on the extra tax,

The results of this work Of consol-
idation are to a great extent with
the future, it Is true, but the begin
ming that has been made Is little
short Of marvellous. Wherever con-
solidated work has been established
there Is marked improvement in the
community itself, in the people of the
community, and in the very atmos-
phere and surroundings.
There is prejudice against the plan
of consolidation in some quarters.
but this will pass away as the great
benefits Of the rural high school are
made clear by practical demonstra-
ton. Advancement in sections that
nave buOpISu luc COuSOlluaClOn plan
is apparent to even the most casual
observer, and there should be no
backward step taken. The plan has
worked and is working SO we'll where
it has been tried that other schools
will follow the lead Of the more pro-
gressive communities, and the future
holds the possibility for great work
along this line.
We believe that the progressive
citizens Of the rural districts Of this
county will not be slow to seek the
best and demand that they shall have
nothing less than the best that lies
within the range Of possibility. The
greatest achievements to-day in edu-
cational matters are being attained
by concentration Of effort through the
medium Of the consolidation Of weak
schools, (each by itself accomplish
ing little), into strong, compact units
of the high school type. The princi-
pie Is as sound as it is old: "In unity
there is strength"-in consolidation
there is efficiency
