These six senators had a combined

for other candidates opposing them,
combined, were 40,962.
Minority Elections Sure for Years.
There are today four political
parties in the nation-the Democrats,
Progressives, Republicans and So
clalsts There is nothing to indicate
that these political conditions will
change in the next few years. No
one of these parties can poll ma
iority of the votes cast in any cleo
ton, in more than a few States or
sections of States. When the voters
were nearly equally divided into two
big parties, with a few small parties
not large enough to be important
factors, the plurality system of cleo
tions usually resulted in majority
elections Today the system of elect
ing by pluralities means almost GER
tainly a continuance. for a number
of years at least, of minority cleo
lions and minority representation in
legislatures and Congress.
AS Governor. President Wilson
urged that the voters be given a
second choice of candidates in the
party primaries. for all offices, so

the roadway you will surely imagine
you are on some long-neglected coun-
try lane.
For everything that goes to make a
country lane is on High street just
at present. There are the humps and
the hollows and the pieces of stone
and rock that always litter a poorly
kept country road, and there is the
dust or the mud, according to weather
conditions.
When it rains High street is quag-
mire of red, sticky clay, the kind that
makes New Jersey bricks famous, and
when 1t is dry, as it has been for
several days past, High street is
anlle-deep in dust. so much so that
even on calm days. when there is not
breath of wind, the breeze stirred
by passing automobiles-and they
number thousands daily-send up
clouds of dust that choke, pedestrians

to keep house windows open, so rap

they have expected too much. An
American critic has pointed out what
may be the reason for this.
We have seen that the picture was
originally placed above the nigh altar
Of the church at Piacenza. There, as
with most of the altar pieces in the
Italian churches, it was covered by
curtain excepting during service.
But when the kneeling worshlpers
did raise their eyes to the picture,
what did they behold? There behind

The mayor and the Chamber of
Commerce have issued a joint call for
a meeting Of the mayors of South
Carolina cities and towns of 1000 or
more population, to talk over ques-
tionS that are of interest to all cities
and towns of any size. The purpose
is to promote discussion throughout
the State Of municipal problems, some
of which might perhaps require leg
islative action later on, and some OF
which re re only that citizens gen.
orally . fst attention then action

TAea of the conference is that
>%S of living conditions is more
= >ortant than size of a town, and
>ecause this is true, the arrange
mentS for the convention thus far
have been turned over to the educa-
ton committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce. 1t has suggested five
topics for discussion, and the call, i'm
inviting the mayors to meet here, also
asks each of them to suggest for dis
cussion any municipal problem that
he would like to discuss or hear dis
cuSsed.
Through this conference, the edu-
cation committee hopes to start a.
propaganda Of education along va
rious lines. All topics will, it is ex-
pected, be discussed by both advo-
Gates and opponents of the implied
proposition. The idea is to thresh
out all viewpoints, in order that the
mayors, when they go home, will be
able to tell their people the argu-
ments both for and against every
thing talked about.
The call for the conference reads
as follows:

REDUCING TARIFF REVENUE.
SENATE MAKING CHANGES IN
UNDERWOOD BILL.
The Transfer OF Some Dutiablc Ar
ticleS to Free List and Reduction
of Rates on Others Will Decrease
Tariff Revenue About S26,oOO, 200
Per Annum.

Washington, June 11.-Charges in
the Underwood tariff bill by the SEN
ate finance subcommittees, trans
ferring proposed dutiable articles to
the free list, will aggregate an es-
timated annual loss in revenue to the
government Of nearly a million and
a half dollars a year. This curtail-
ment of the total estimated revenue
under the house bill is based only
on articles known to have been trans
ferred to the free list thus far upon
subcommittee recommendations and
does not take into account decreases
in duties which will be proposed on
many articles. Added to the 25,000,-
000 estimated loss in revenue under
the house bill free list, this would
aggregate s26,5OO,OOO.
Included in the senate list are the
revenues that would be derived from
hemp which the Underwood bill max es
dutiable, but which the senate sub
committee today decided should be
transferred TO the free list Hemp
will he sent TO the caucus on the free
list on the ground that products of
the farms, such as cattle and wheat,
are to free listed. Free hemp, it
is said, would result in cheaper twine
to the farmers and compensate them
somewhat by reducing their harvest
expense. Hemp, both plain and
hacked, the subcommittee proposes
to remove from the dutiable list, the
former from $11.20 ton and the
latter from one cent a pound in the
Underwood bill.
Some Of these losses in revenue may
be made up by countervailing duties
on certain agricultural products, but
this amount it is estimated, will not
be large.
Today the majority members of the
finance committee opposed publca-
ton at this tine of detailed changes
in the Underwood bill approved by
them On subcommittee recommends
tians. -.' r---.-- .
The committee today had under
consideration the changes in the cot
ton schedule proposed by Senator
Johnston's. subcommittee Most Of
them were approved, but one or two
matters were referred back to the
subcomnttee for further consider
ihon. In this schedule the net result
of the altered rates will increase the
average cotton rates in the Under
wood bill about per cent, the pri l.
cipal changes affecting cotton yarns,
This is probably the only schedule
in which senate action will result in
an increase.
The majority members Of the COM
mittee decided their action should be,
guarded as much as possible until
the caucus can have a chance to act,
because the caucus might in some
matters reverse or otherwise alter
their decisions.
