Carlisle Fitting School.

The Carlisle Fitting School viii
begin it's twentieth year on Wednes
day, September 18th, under the mos
auspicious circumstances. The pros
poets are now that the school will
enjoy the largest enrolment of its
history. The applications already
received are about fifty per cent
more than the total number received
last year.
The evidences are that the Carlisle
Fitting School is constantly growing
in favor, and it is very proper and
natural that it should. The Fitting
School is safe school for any boy
or girl-its students work under the
most wholesome influences. Schools
of this kind are rather scarce, and
intelligent, discriminating parents
are finding it out.
The faculty for the coming ses'
sion will be as follows: Head Master
J. G. Guilds, English and Bible; Prof
w. G.. Duncan, Mathematics and Ger
man; Prof. H. B. Anderson, History
and Science; Prof R. L. Meriwether
Latin and Greek; Miss Lynn Riley
Primary; Miss Annie Lou Byrd
Piano and Violin; Mrs. Josephine
Beach, Matron Boys Dormitory;
Mrs. Stella Brunson, Matron Girls
Dormitory.
While the dormitories are now
full, Head Master Guilds is making
preparations to accommodate others
who may desire to attend. And SO
if there are any boys or girls who
desire room this session, they will
do we'll to put in their applications
at once.
On. Wednesday, September 18, all
applicants will assemble in the school
auditorium at 1870. After short
service there matriculation and as
signment to classes will be- entered
into. In the evening at $50 the
public exercises will be held in the
school auditorium. Welcome ad-
dresses will be delivered by repre-
sentative citizens and an opportunity
given to "get acquainted" The pub
lie is most cordially invited to be
present at these exercises.

Work Day for Orphanages.

Saturday, September the 2Sth, will
be work day in South Carolina for
the orphanages in the State. The
work day plan is to get all who will
to contribute the earnings of one day
of labor, or the income of one day,
for the care of the orphans, and to
direct their gifts to the institutions
of their choice. These institutions
are maintained by the voluntary con-
tributions of our people, and they
need all the financial aid the work
day proposition can possibly bring
to them. We urge general observ-
ance of the day and liberal responses.
Let the proposition mean something
to the orphanages which are caring
for the homeless and fatherless chill
dren in South Carolina.
Yours truly,
W. B. WHARTON.

HONOR TO WHOM IT is DUE.

Brooklyn Eagle: Republicanism
not having been translated into
RooseveItism, party suicide was not
committed at Chicago. They take
superficial view of things who
think congratulations should be con-
fined either to the winners or to
the party or to both.
What the country has escaped 1t
will be slow to realize. A week ago
the Constitution and the courts were
in danger. A week ago there were
some doubts as to what might hap
pen to representative government.
They have been dispelled.
So it is hardly enough to say that
great party has saved itself from
destruction. Though that Is the truth
and nothing but the truth, it has
done more than that. 1t has saved
the country from a menace realized
by others than alarmists.
Credit where it belongs. Honor to
whom it is due. Anything but a
fighting man by temperament, the
president. kept the pledge he gave
when he declared that nothing but
death would take him out of the
struggle. He is very much alive.
No greater achievement will stand
to his credit, no matter how long
he lives. All that he has averted can
never be known, but in a crisis not
exaggerated when it is called tremen-
dous he was no "man Of straw"
History will pay tributes to him.

OF this case We want TO remark, says
the Hutchinson News. that the poll
tar is a relic OF barbarian. It comes
to US from the middle ages when
every man had to perform certain
service to his over-lord, q service
that was later committed into a cash
payment. The tax was levied on
each poll or head.
Taxation is no longer reckoned this
way except in a few countries which
have overlooked the fact that the
world has moved on. Taxes should be
placed upon property or ability to
pay or special privileges conferred BY
the public. There is no more sense
in putting in a small tax on each
man than there is in putting on a
large tax. Probably the reason why
the tax is still In vogue in Kansas
is that 1t is not much and the people
stand for 1t.
The poll tax ought to be abolished
by the legislature II it is sustained
by the court.

THE PRESIDENTS LATEST VkTo,
President Taft has used the veto
power to an extent and with q fire.
quency that 70 a sufficient refuta-
ton OF the absurd charge that be
lacks flrmness, says the Boston
Transcript. In returning the army
appropriation bill to congress with
out his approval, he shows that he
IL not afraid of dilemma. His OBJ
lection is to the rider" on the bill
the effect and purpose OF which are
to Iegislate General Wood out Of
the position Of chief OF staff. This
provision Is embedded in the bill so
deeply that unless the bill itself is
passed over the presidents veto or
congress backs down, the army's pay
and subsistence is held up by the
presidents refusal to approve the
measure. But the army is not likely
to suffer for all that. In the Hayes
administration congress adjourned
without making the regular army
appropriation, but the government.
pending a special session, managed
to find funds for the soldiers, a
precedent not now likely to be neg
lected.
The presidents course should meet
with public approval for his veto is
directed against the "hold up" meth
cd of legislation expressed in rid
ers." These are much special legis-
latlon put upon appropriation bills
to the end that only by acquiescing
in these schemes can the govern
ment obtain the appropriation to
which 1t is entitled with controversy
which it lis entitled without contro-
versy and delay. 1t Is in every
ped by a demonstration OF popular
opinion in support of the president,
who is standing out against legisla-
ton by stealth and indecency.

"A CHERISHED HOPE"

That Mr.. Taft is certain to be de-
feated at the November election is
no more than cherished hope among
the Democrats, and few misguided
Republicans who will follow Mr..
Roosevelt wherever he leads, says the
State Journal. Even Colonel Roose-
velt's new party won't be in very
extensive working order at the COM
ing election. If there is anything
of substance to it at all, it will prob
ably attract as many of the radical
Democrats as it does disgruntled
radical Republicans. So any loss to
the regular Republican party in this
direction is likely to be offset by a
similar loss on the part of the Demo-
cratic party. Nobody can tell just
what the Democrats will do at Balti-
more this week. But they will
probably put up an extreme radical
against Taft. This would be certain
to assure Mr.. Taft of the votes of a
considerable conservative element in
the Democratic party. And between
now and election day there is plenty
of time for the Taft cohorts to edu-
cate the people concerning the true
and virile qualities of the president
and his really remarkable achieve
ments in the presidential office. This
is sure to give him added strength
among the enormous number of inde-
pendent voters in the country, who
pay little attention to the machina-
lions Of the politicians, but who go
to the polls on election day merely
determined to vote for the man
among the candidates whom they
think will serve the country best.
Under all OF these circumstances.
there is no merit to the contention
that Mr.. Taft is already as good as
defeated for q reelection.

THE ROAD FROM MosooW.

New York Sun: You would better
have taken the Suns disinterested
advice, Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, and
stayed at Oyster Bay. You see the
point now, perhaps. You went out
not to the browning victory that in
your mind at least would have OBJ
liberated the unworthiness OF the
previous proceedings but to your own
humiliation and destruction. You
have had a bellyful of the excite
ment which possibly you prize above
all the etceteras of life, but the sat
isfaction of that appetite will not
accompany you through the pages OF
history. You may bolt and struggle
and continue to issue grandiloquent
proclamations, all marking retreat,
not glorious advance. The Republi-
can party lives; 1t is the Roosevtian
ideal that is murdered. You killed
1t with your own mouth.
You broke your pledge to the peo-
pie and the people have now broken
you. The hardest part of it for you
to understand and tolerate Is that
the people who have BROKEN you
are the Lincolnian people" whose
backs you had the audacity to strad-
die in your ride onward. They have
felt it too true, as the wild-eyed Will
liam Allen White of Kansas express
ed it, that your personal 81 ccess at
Chicago would change the history
of this republic for half century
to come. You have tried to ride 1t
on "principles'' better and less sell
fishly represented by other progress
sives-progressives who are not reVo-
lutionists and are not pressing them
selves in the direction of absolut-
ism. The melancholy truth is that
the sole principle" contributed by
yourself individually to the common
cause was the principle" of the re-
call of judicial decisions, of which
you made so much at Columbus and
in the Outlook but of which you
seem to be politically so afraid just
now that even the spook Of It Is not
visible in your tentative draft OF a
Roosevelt platform. You are having
the sad experience of witnessing the
severance from your personal for
tunes of the sane mon among your
recent following, the Hadleys and the
Borahs and the like. You make talk
bolt and assume personal respon-
sibility" as long as it comforts you
to do SO, but the retinue is likely
to melt down rapidly into the origi-
nal Pinchot. You have had the
agony of discerning--your discern
ment is perfect-a progressive leader
more popular with and more trusted
by the progressive element than
yourself. And late yesterday after
noon you had the supreme mortifi-
cation, with your eager ear at the
telephone, of hearing the fIna, att
tempt at a stampede in your own
interest go off in the convention hall
like wet fireworks.
In standing firmly against all that
your individualist enterprise meant
Mr.. TAFT. and his supporters on the
field have rendered q service To the
republic never likely to be forgot
ten.
We are rather sorry for you, Mr..
Roosevelt, for our sentiments con-
corning you are not unfriendly when
you cease to be dangerous. And you
viii pardon the Sun for addressing
you, on this solitary occasion. di-
rectiy IN the second person. YouI
