The Trend of State Legislation.

Since the beginning of the current
year the Legislatures of thirty-nine
States have been in session for long
er or shorter periods. There have
been several prolonged deadlock"
in attempts to elect United States
Senators--an evil that has at last
been done away with through the
adoption of the "direct-election"
amendment to the Federal Constitu
ton. Doubtless much time has been
wasted in factional obstructions and
chickering's, but on the whole the
years record is one of substantial
progress in many fields.
Wisconsin has not fully sustained
her well-earned reputation for pro-
gressive legislation, and Pennsylva-
mia has disappointed those who look
ed to her Legislature for unusual
achievements, many excellent meas
ures having passed one House only
to be held up or mutilated almost
beyond recognition ir the other. Of
New York not much was expected,
but her Tammany-ruled Legislature
has admirable health and factory
codes to its credit passed in re-
sponse to a wisely directed public
opinion.
Throughout the country the infiu-
ence of legislative reference bureaus
(of which Wisconsin's was the pio-
neer)and other agencies of like pur-
pose is clearly discernible. Legisla-
tors now have a far sounder basis of
knowledge as to what has been done
in different States dealing with SIM
liar problems than they had in FORM
er years. Far more effort is now ex-
pended in the inquiry whether a
proposed law can be enforced and
made effective. Apparently there is
less eagerness than formerly to en-
cumber the statue-books with dead
letter. enactments.- From 'Pro-

National Control of r R Rates.

The growing presumption IS IN ia
vor of national control over railways
in the fullest sense. The great net
work of steam highways comes to be
more and more a system to be re-
garded as general rather than local,
and to be controlled in the interest
of shippers, travellers, and investors
in railway securities, by Congress,
working through the Interstate Com
merce Commission. A railroad rate
from Chicago TO Davenport, la, is
subject to revision and control by
the authorities at Washington. A
railroad rate from Chicago to Rock
Island, falling within the State of
Illinois, is subject to control of local
authorities. All of the railroads 60
ing from Chicago westward are in
terstate roads. The journey from
Chicago to Rock Island is virtually
the same as to Davenport. If the
Illinois authorities fix much lower
rate than one that the Federal au-
thorities have approved. the rail-
roads are in a serious predicament,
because they are henceforth to be
subjected to the varying treatment
of forty-eight State governments, IN
the matter of rate-making, instead
of the more calculable treatment of
the central authorities at Washing
ton. The supreme court decision
upholds the State of Minnesota in
the particular cases involved. but in
Inmates that Congress has authority
to proceed further than it has yet
gone in defining the extent to which
an interstate carrier may be burden
ed by local restrictions. --From"1he

BENSON BREEZES.
Postoffices observation-disclosures
r. F. ID. Route from kingstree.

Benson, June 30:-Today the
Benson and Zeb postoffices, by or
der of the postoffice department,
was discontinued. Both OF these
places are on the recently granted
r F D route from kingstree.
Benson is located in the section
known from time immemorlal as
Cedar Swamp. This part OF the coun-
ty has recently come into promi-
nence as the place where the best
tobacco is grown, and where the
other staple farm products are pro-
duced in quality that equals any
section of Williamsburg.
Benson was named after the late
Mai J Benson Chandler who was a
resident of this place. This office
was established over twenty years
ago. During that period the follow
ing served as postmasters: Messrs }
B Chandler, J Graham Mccullough,
Wv Graham and w E Snowden,
who today passed the keys over to
our distinguished relative, Uncle
SAM" for safe-keeping.
Zeb community, before the estab-
lishment of the office, was known
and recognized by the cognomen,
DRY Swamp. Cedar Swamp and
Dry Swamp are neighbor commun-
tiles, whose soils are owned and cul-
tivated by intelligent farmers.
Mr. S Afford Query has been the
efficient postmaster at Zeb since It's
establishment to the present time.
From this time hence all mail
matter for these two former offices
will be addressed to Kingstree, K F
DNo1.
A very quiet marriage was con-
summated at Central church Sun
day evening. The happy pair were
Miss Blanche, daughter OF Mr. NJ

At least one man slept cool Sun
day night in Indianapolis, Ind, ac-
cording to an "owr' street car con-
ductor. Shortly before midnight a
passenger boarded the car and ask
ed how many trips would be made
during the night. The conductor
figured it out and the passenger
counted out several coins.
Now" said the passenger, hand
ing the money to the conductor,
"I'm an all night fare. Don't wake
me until you start to the barns,"
The passenger then settled back
in seat and, with the breeze blow
ing through his hair, proceeded to
sleep until daylight.

BOON TO HUSBAND HUNTERS
London Tea Shop "GOOd Fishing
Ground" for Manageable Girls

Uondon Dispatch to New York Sum
The London tea shop, it seems, is the
happiest hunting ground for the Lon
don working girl who wants to cath
husband. The investigation commit
lee of the Womens Industrial Council
has made an inquiry into the condi-
tons surrounding the lives of wait
resses in London tea shops.
Youth, good manner, a tall figure,
sweet smile, bright complexion,
sound teeth, a good constitution, arc
said to be the primary qualifications
Of the waitress, We are told that the
shopgirl, the tailoress, the dressmak-
er, the domestic servant, in fact, girls
IF nearly every grade, adopt the oc-
cupation simply because they regard
it as a kind of in.alli1le matrimonial
aeen.
The waitress is without exception
marrying girl" says the report. To
the workgirl of IS who means to mar
ry. the tea shop has something of the
fascination of the ballroom for the
leisured Young lady.
The average professional life of the
waitress appears to extend over twelve
wears She commences her career At
is, and finishes, if she fails to marry
in the meantime, at 80.
The maximum wage is s. a week,
but about 1915 is considered first
class average. A general wage is SO a
week, which in most cases is reduced
by deductions for food and breakages.
Apparently the facilities for getting
married compensate for the arduous
nature of the work, the small pay, and
the long hours. The girl works from
50 to 60 hours a week to so, without
complaint. In some cases they take
Sunday shifts of 8 to 10 hours for 30
or 70 cents with tips.
Glass consciousness is not a charac-
! teristic of the tea shopgirl. Many
efforts have been made to induce her
to organize, laments the report, but
her "sensitiveness to the public opin-
ion of her caste" has imbued her with
the idea that trade unionism for the
moment is not good form" ~

OUR AMBASSADORS TO ENGLAND
They Have Been Great Men, Loyal to
the Ideals of the Republic.

price Collier, Scribner's MagaizneD
America and England are shortly to
celebrate the signing of the treaty of
Client, which marks 100 years of peace
between the two nations. We have not
been without opportunities to quarrel.
We have whole classes of people IN
America who detest England, and in
England there are not a few who do
mot conceal successfully their contempt
for America, but we have had peace
since England, at the time of our war
with Spain, said Hands off," to the
powers that wished to interfere, there
has been a great increase of friendly
feeling.
But there has been little or no fiat
terry passing back and forth. We have
sent Ambassador after Ambassador ID
England who were almost more Am
erican than the Americans. Phelps
and Lowell and Hay and Choate and
Reid were all American in name, in
tradition, in their successes, aad ia
their way of looking at life BY their
learning, their wit, and their criti
cisms; by their writing and speaking
by their presentation of the claims >
greatness Of our great men, by their
unhesitating avowal in public and il
private Of their allegiance to the Ideals
of the republic they served, they have
made clear the American point OF
view.
Above all, they have shown their
pride in their own country by acknowi-
edging and praising the great qualities
of England and the English. There has
been no fulsome fattery; no bowling
the knee to foreign idols; and what
has been the result. The American
Ambassador for years has been the
most popular diplomatic figure in
Great Britain An increasing number
OF Englishmen, even, nowadays know
who Washington and Jefferson and
Lincoln were. and our UNDERSTANDING
of one another has grown rapidly out
of this frank and manly attitude.
We were jealous and suspicious 100
years ago, as are England and Ger
many today, but we have changed all
that by our attitude of good humored
independence, ard by eliminating alto
gether from our intercourse the faint
ed delicacy of compliment and the
canting endearments of the diplomatic
cocotte, We have emphasized our
indifferences to the great benefit Of
the fine qualities that we have and
cherish in common.

woman justice of the peace in Cali
fornia, has resigned the place to which
she was appointed at Daily City about a
year ago She found the responsible
tiles of her office, albeit she had ac-
tualIy little to do, too great nervous

women could stand the strain, though
there is nothing in their impulses and
emotions preventing them from rend-
erig just as good decisions as men.

have been different | am not so sure
