PAYING TO BE ENTERTAINED

A valued correspondent writes O the Inquirer that a good deal of the in- creased cost of living in these days is due to tips, and especially to those which one must give when on a visit al d private house. Here is the sched- ule of what it cost a man and his wife to stop from Friday evening to Mon day morning at a friends cottage in Atlantic City:
 Tips to four servants at $2 each. $ s Tip to chauffeur (who took the
 party ouD. ................. 3 Supper a prominent hotel in honor
 of the hosts l2 Tips to railway and express men,. 7
 $27 Tn addition there was the carfare of $4 so that the less than three days eX- cursion cast over $30. Our correspon- dent thinks that this is an outrage, but he could do no less and find himself welcome again.
 The problem is undoubtedly serious one. Tn former days a family would sWoop down unannounced on some friends for a week or so without sur ring up excitement anu WlIH HtCle eA- pense Instead of theater party ana supper at an expensive cafe, there was apt to be picnic or the men went off for a days fishing, while the women gossiped at home. All this IS changed. It is impossible to make visits now without liberal tips, because servants will become dissatisfied. The hostess expects her guests to give liberal tips, because it is the only way in which she dare have company, and she Is apt to ask her servants exactly what they received If the sums are satisfactory another invitation may issue; other wise, nothing doing.
 We feel for our correspondent, but don't know exactly what he can do eX- cept stay at home. He ought to be thankful he didn't spend the week end

That Switzerland has ceased to be a nation of hotel keepers is def initely settled by the most recent statistics of the countrys industries According to these only one-twen- tieth of the total revenue of the na- ten is derived from the hotel busi- ness. Other industries nave expanded so rapidly that the state of the hotel business is only an incident in the general economic condition. Az ricuiture yields an annual revenue of S106, 900, 900, or nearly five times as much as the hotels and the big man. ufacturing industries have already surpassed agriculture in the gross total of their production.
 This growing importance of the commerce and industry has made the Swiss anxious to play a larger part in those international transactions hich affect exports and imports. Hitherto the little republic of the mountains has been self-sufficient and content to look on while it's four powerful neighbOrs quarreled with cne another Ard even though the Swiss wished to move an occasional rawn in the international game the framers of their constitution made this almost impossible. Each year the federal council is obliged to choose new president of the re- public from among it's seven mem- bers. and as he directs the foreign policy of the ration a consistent or persistent effort in any given direc- ton is out of the question.
 But it is now proposed to lengthen he presidents term in order that he Aoay acuire experience and become d nore effective administrator of Swiss affairs For the ideal democracy this is a radical proposal and it will rot be adopted without much dis cUssion. For many years the federal council refused to consider it and it is only within the last year that sen timent within the council has under gene a change. Five of the seven members who have only recently en- tered into membership have brought more modern ideas into it's lelibera- tions Students of democratic gov crnment will watch with interest the evolution of this nation of hotel keepers into a real power,

BURRO MAG"
 HEADS PARADE
Delivers Roosevelt Speech While Usmping Police mans Station and Lands in City Jail After Tri- mphal March

There was the us ual police escort, the huzZas of the populace, the fluttering of red ban danas (tWo in alb the speechma king. the triumphant progress along the busy streets and last but not least. the occupancy of the bridal suite at the Hotel De Perrin. Only the spe- cial trains were lacking to make the affair complete.
 A. C. Williamson came to town yesterday. Everybody in Phoenix knows Williamson just about as we'll IS they know Truthful Theodore They call him "Burro Mae for just the same reason they call T E. Teddy. It's shorter and quite as expressive.
 Mac" was driving his famous bur TO team attached to chiId's edition of a prarie schooner. He didn't at tract more than the usual attention until he had reached Washington street and Central avenue Here he proceeded to usurp the prominent quarters of the traffic policeman stationed at that intersection. The hurros who had been trained to be lieve they were moose, halted at command and Mac" after decorating PnA-ay7-aIr danas, mounted to his seat and, standing as erect as it was possible for him to do considering the load he was carrying, proceeded to divest himself of about thirty yards of RoOseveltisims.
 He quickly gathered a crowd, every member of which hung on the words that fell from his lips He eulOgized Teddy with every choice phrase at his command and predicted his election by nine billion majority.
 Policeman Duncan. who is not a Roosevelt republican, seemed to think Mac might be deceiving the public he was sworn to protect. From then on he took charge of the exercises.

There were times when the outfit and the attendant crowd occupied practically all of Washington street between Central avenue and First street. The Phoenix street railway was com pletely tied up for few minutes. It was inspiring.
 All along the line of march Mac continued to decant upon the virtues and propensities of his sovereign candidate When the city hall was reached the schooner was anchored at the rear of the building, while the hero of the occasion was escorted to the basement for a period of rest and recuperation.
 And then Policeman Duncan agalH hove in sight, appealed to the anxious adherents of the cause to disperse stating that the celebration was ove' for that day.
 The last heard of Mac" was ar agonized appeal from the depths oi the city jail to bring the local lead CTS to the rescue of a detained mem bcr of the herd.

We do not believe that there is any
thing upon which to base the charge
of "rottenness'' in our primary elec-
tons, especially so far as Newberry
county is concerned. We believe that
the managers who conducted the elec-
ton are all honest and would not
countenance any fraud or "rottenness. y
Of course, there were doubtless ire
gularities, as there will always be, but
it is probable that these affected one
candidate just as must as another. We
regret to know that any citizen of tn"
county would make so grave charge
against the gentlemen VINO gave their
time without compensation to conduct
the election.

TILLMAN's LETTER TO BLEAsE.

The Herald and News regrets very
much to note the tone of Senator Till
mans open letter to Governor Blease,
which we publish today. Senator Till
man has been reelected and so has
Governor Blease, the latter in the face
of Tillman's< opposition. Instead of
writing a letter which can not but add
fuel to the flames of bitterness, how
much more appropriate 1t would have
been for the senior senator either TO
maintain silence, or to write a Letter
in the interest of peace among South
Carolina Democrats. Surely We have
had enough of bitterness and of strife.
Senator Tillman could have shown in
a great deal better wav thai love
which he processes for the people Of
South Carolina.
1t is useless to go over agai.. the
charges which Senator Ti.'man re,
peats against the governor. Not 4
scintilla of proof has been brought ii;
regard to any of. them, AMI Governor
Blease has been vindicated at the
hands of majority of the white citiz-
ems of South Carolina
Senator Tillman's letter can not do
any good, and it is calculated to do
further harm.
1t is interesting to note that Sena-
tor Tiilman admits the nomination OF
Governor Blease.

The following is the resolution:
Section /. That the State Hospital
commission, as created by the joint
resolution above referred to, OSLO
-1911) is hereby continued for one
wear. That the said commission as now
constituted, shall continue for one
year from the expiration of their COM
missions. Any vacancy occurring
therein by death, resignation or other
wise shall be filed by appointment OF
the governor.
7 trust that I have made this state
ment clear. and regret that if any one
desires information in regard to my
nosition the question was not raised
during the campaign, and prior to the
first primary, instead of coming in at
this late day and endeavoring to get
information at Columbia which could
have been obtained from me here at
! LNewberry.
There is another matter to which
would like to refer: My opponent IN
the second primary made a statement
in his talk at Young's Grove, to the
effect that a professor of Clemson COL
leee had stated to him that upon re-
quest the authorities Of Clemson COL
lege would send a member OF the ia.
Guilty to any rural school, and that he
would remain from one to six days,
and lecture to the children and the
people of the community, without cost
to the school district. AS soon as ne
came off the stand, asked him for
the name of the professor who had
made that statement, because felt
that it was the intention to make 1t
appear that l had been derelict in my
duty, if l had not secured this free
tuition offered voluntarily by Clemson
college. He gave me the name of the
professor. to whom l Immediately ad-
dressed a communication, requesting
that he arrange program, or an II =
erary. for each of the fifty-nine schools
in Newberry county, and that would
take pleasure in giving as much pub
licity to this special instruction as
possible. In reply to this request, the
member CT Clemson college, faculty
writes that he can not remember ever
having made any statements which
could be interpreted to mean anything
of the kind l was satisfied at the
time that no professor who was COM
petent to hold a position would make
anv such statement. l referred to this
correspondence at a subsequent meet
ing. and so far as l know, the candl-
date who made the assertion has never
vet acknowledged that he was mistah-
| en-.
Another effort to mislead and fool
the people is to talk about the reduc-
ton in the cost of text books and the
constant changes. Of course, anyone
who will stop for minute to THINK
and who is conversant with the law
will know that the superintendent OF
education has absolutely nothing to do
with the adoption of text books, or the
price, and as matter of fact, the
adoption was made only last year and
the price fixed, and the contracts en-
tered into with the publishers and the
State for a term of five years, and the
county superintendent of education
has absolutely no power to make any
changes.
regret that efforts of this kind were
made to mislead and regret still more
that so many good people permit them

PIANO LESSON FOR CLAUDE
Sister Lucinda Explains About the
Pianos Moods and How They
Are Affected.

"Lucy," said Brother Claude to
Sister Lucinda, at seems to me the
piano sounds remarkably well this
morning"
at does sound well this morning."
said Lucinda, "but there's nothing
remarkable about that. The piano
with its strings is like you with your
nerves. Sometimes when you are not
feeling we'll, when you are uncomfort-
able and unhappy and your nerves
unstrung, you are apt to be dull or
raspy, and then when you are feeling
well and your nerves are all right
you are gay and cheerful. And it is
just the same with the piano; it has
its moods. Let the weather condi-
tons be unfavorable and the piano
may be dull and even out of tune 4;
but let the conditions be just right
for it, as they are this bright morn
ing, and it answers musically in
every note. The piano depends on
conditions, just as you do. Didn't
you know that?"
And Claude said he hadn't known
it, but he knew it now.
