GOVERNMENT BY PUBLICITY.
That Is What We Have Now, Says
DIR. Frank Crane.

DR.. Frank Crane says the history
of secrecy makes a. long black
smudge down the page Of time. Moth
ing is truer than the saying that "the
wicked love darkness rather than the
light. And this proverb has bear
ing we do not usually suspect. We
assume it 10 have reference to rob-
bers, footpads, sneak thieves, mutt
nous seamen and home breakers. 1t
does. 1t also refers, however, to any
other group of people who work in
the shade.
You can set it down in your books
that any business for which the
claim is made that it is better to
transact it under cover, that it is un-
wise to have it investigated and that
the public has no right to meddle in
it; it is crooked. Of course, do not
include the affairs of purely personal
nature, but only such matters as
have to do with the public.
The whole history of government
before the day of newspapers is a
record of tyranny and unjust privi-
lege. So long as the common herd
was ruled by a select few, who pre-
sumed to do better by the people
than the people could do for them
selves, the result invariably was lux
ury and fine feathers for the elect
and starvation and rags for the
many. Vested rights thrive in dark
ness. It is only in the light of pub
licity that human rights grow.
There never was a bribe taking
Judge ousted from the bench, cor
rupt politician retired to private life,

corporations and was exposed that
did not hate newspaper reporters
above rattlesnakes. This is not a
government by law. Law does not
govern. 1t is merely the rear guard
of government. 1t is government
by publicity. 1t is newspapers and
magazines, the publishing of facts,
that govern.

Bound to Pay the Penalty.

Recently a Chicago woman who
spoke out of her own experience,
said she never wants to hear any
thing more pertaining to a fast and
gay life. With true pathos she said:
"After all there is very little of the
gay about it, In this remark she
undoubtedly told the truth and ex-
pressed the sentiment of others who
have traversed the same path but not
every one is so honest about it as
she has been. When men and wo-
men live in defiance of what ex-
rerience and conscience prove to be
right they are bound ultimately to
pay the penalty. Well ordered insti-
tutions, like that of the family can
not be ignored or encroached upon
without loss and disappointment, and
all gayety enjoyed at the expense Of
good morals must end in dissatisfac-
ton.

THE CITY ABOUT TO FALL
ADRIANOPLE MAY HOLD OUT
ONE WEEK LONGER.
Disease and Famine Have Done z heir
Deadly Work Among the Turkish
Soldiers.

A despairing cry of 81 can hold
out only week longer" was sent in
cipher by wireless Wednesday from
Shukri Pasha, Turkish commander of
Adrianople, to his superior officers
at Constantinople, according to un-
official reports.
Shukri Pasha, who has held out
for many. months against the hun
dreds of siege guns Of the Bulgarians
and Servians is said to have inform
ed the Porte in his message that
Adrianople is practically at the end
of its supplies of food and ammuni-
ton, while there is much sickness,
especially scurvy and intestinal dis
orders, which are raVaging the de-
tenders ranks.
The commander, who has offered
such long and gallant defense,
urges either that peace negotiations
be fastened, or that an immediate
attempt to relieve the city be under
taken from the Tchatalja lines.
The Turkish ministry is divided in
opinion and will have difficulty in
reaching any solution Of the problem
raised by the commander Of the be-
seiged fortress.
The ferment aroused by the mur-
der Of the late NaZim Pasha con-
tinues to threaten internal trouble
in Turkey. At a service at Constan-
tinople Wednesday in memory Of
Nazim, the officiating Mussulman
priest pronounced a malediction on
his assassins and on "those who have
deceived the Sultan Of Turkey, the
head Of the Mussulman faith.

ELECTS DEMOCRAT SENATOR
The Deadlock in New Hampshire
Legislature Broken

A dispatch from Concord, n. H.,
says Henry F. Hollis, Democrat, was
elected United States Senator by the
legislature Friday. Hollis received
1S9 votes, three more than the num-
ber required to elect. John H. Bart
lett, the new Republican caucus can
didate, had 1875. Representative
Bass, Progressive, had ~.
The deadlock which had continued
since the daily = loting began jan
uary Il was bro.-o1 by three Demo-
cratic members from Manchester,
who said they had hitherto opposed
the Hollis candidacy on principle"
but now felt that it would be wrong
to continue longer as obstructionists.
Two Republican members and all but
two Democrats supported the sue
cessful candidate.
The newly elected senator is a
lawyer and a Harvard graduate He
is AZ years old. He was an unsuc-
cessful candidate for governor and
for congress on several occasions.
The election of Senator Hollis arous-
ed great enthusiasm in Democratic
circles in the United States Senate
at Washington.
The election of Senator Hollis
makes the political complexion of the
Senate at present as follows: DEM
ocrats so, Republicans AZ, Progress
ives 2. Two vacancies exists from
the State OF Illinois. Arrangements
were made Friday by the Democratic
steering committee to award the new
Senator his quota of committee plac-
es. "Good," was President Wilson's
exclamation when told Of the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Hollis.

SCORES THE JOB HUNTERS.
Senator Tillman Disguised by Them
in Washington.

A Washington dispatch says Sena-
tor Tillman Tuesday evinced his dis
pleasure at the persistency Of hun
dreds of Office seekers who have
focked to the Capital since the in
auguration. With characteristic Wig
or the Senator condemned the scram-
Bile for jobs. He said the situation
reminded him of Bible text:
II have forgotten just where In
Holy writ I read it" he said, "but it
fits the case exactly and runs some
thing as follows: The wild asses Of
the desert are athirst and hungry.
They have broken into the green
corn
The Senator recalled that the text
contained reference to the wild
asses trampling down the corn, but
he said he would leave that out. He
added that he had full faith in Pres
ident Wilson as a herdsman who
would keep the wild beasts from do
ing any damage.

NDORSED FOR MARSHAL
SENATOR TILLMAN AND SMITH
AGREE on SIMS.
They Further Decide to Name Re-
spective Candidates for District At
torney and Let Wilson Decide.

The Washington correspondent O.
The News and Courier says Senator:
Tillman and Smith, of South Caro-
lima, held a conference "wednesday
afternoon. After it was over Senator
Tillman announced that he had fleo
with Attorney General McReynolds
his endorsement of Mr.. James l.
Sims, of Orangeburg, to be United
States marshal for the district OF
South Carolina, in addition to that OF
Mr.. J. VIM. Thurmond, to be district
attorney, which was filed Monday
Further than this, the senior Senator
would say nothing on the subject.
Senator Smith made the statement
that he had filed with the President
and the Attorney General his en-
dorsement Of Francis H. Weston, OF
Columbia, to be district attorney.
The junior Senator refused to am
plify this statement.
Both Of the South Carolina Sena-
tors saw President Wilson Wednes-
day. Senator T1llman presented for
the Presidents consideration certain
papers explaining his opposition to
the nomination Of Charles P. Neill,
to be commissioner Of labor statistics.
It is believed here that there is a
decided likelihood that Capt. W. E,
Gonzales will be appointed United
States minister to Cuba.
There is also an impression that
the candidacy of Judge c. A. Woods,
Of Marion, for circuit Judgeship va
Gated by the election of Judge Goff
to the Senate from West Virginia,
has made very encouraging headway.
Former Governor John Gary Evans
had an audience with President Will
son Thursday. Governor Evans says
that he himself is not a candidate for
any Office.
Both Senators Agree on Sims.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says Senators
Tillman and Smith have agreed on
James L. Sims, of Orangeburg, as
their joint candidate for United
States marshall of the district Of
South Carolina, and have also agreed
to name their respective candidates
for district attorney.
Senator Tillman has submitted the
name Of William J. Thurmond, Of
Edgefeld, for latter Office, and Sen
ator Smith, the name of Francis H.
Weston, Of Columbia. 1t is under
stood that the candidates named by
the President will have the support
of both of the South Carolina Sena-
tors for confirmation.
This is the outcome Of what bade
fair for a time to be complete dis
agreement between the senior and
the junior Senators as to these items
of patronage.

SENATOR TILLMAN APT TO GET
What he WANTS
MARTAIN Fighting him
Information from High Authority
Puts the Senior South Carolina
Senator Chairman of the Senate's
Second Most Powerful Committee,
for which He Has Expressed Pre-
ference

A special dispatch to The News
and Courier says Friday night the
final decision of the Democratic steer
ing committee of the Senate, with re-
gard to the committee assignments Of
Senators, may be reached, though
it will not be announced in all pro-
liability until Monday.
The case which is stirring up the
greatest amount of trouble at the last
moment is that of Senator Tillman,
who persists in his determination to
have the craftsmanship of the big ap-
propriations committee, Of which he
is the ranking Democratic member.
1t is understood that if Senator
Tillman is not recommended by the
steering committee for the chairman
ship of appropriations, Senator Mar
tin, Of Virginia, will be designated
for mat important place and the
South Carolina Senator put at the
head of naval affairs.
While Senator Martin and Senator
Tillman have been friends, as rule,
for many years, the South Carolina
Senator believes that the Virginia
Senator is making good fight to
displace him as chairman of the ap-
preparations committee.
Senator Tillman said tonight:
II am not going to get out of tie
way. l am more Of a progressive
than Senator Martin ever dared to
be, and last summer, when he was
vigorously opposing President Will
son and doing all he could to keep
him from being nominated at Baltl-
more, I was backing Wilson as
staunchly as I could; in fact, be-
lieve the attitude of the South Car
olina delegation had a great deal tc
do with the achievement of his Toln-
nation"
Senator Tillman is believed to
have the warm support Of Secretary
of State Bryan in his fight to get the
appropriations chairmahship. The
steering committee is disturbed by
the threat that the Pitctfork Senator
will appeal to the Democratic eau
Gus and invite it to revolt if the
committee denies him what he re-
CARDS as his right. TIE situation
an ong the Senate Democrats is tense
and dramatic, with possibilities Of r
tremendous explosion.
Information late in the day ind:cat-
ed also that Senator Tillman had
won his personal fight to secure the
chairmanship of the appropriations
committee, the second most powerful
committee of the Senate. Persistent
efforts had been made for several
days to induce the South Carolina
Senator to surrender his priority
right to Senator Martin, of Virginia,
and to take the Craftsmanship OF ma
val affairs. It was stated Friday
night on high authority, however,
that the place practically was assur-
ed to Senator Tillman.

Dardenelles straits, were shot as an
example to others. Most Of the men

climates as Asia-Minor and nave be-
come mutinous owing to the extreme
cold. They declare they are too
numbed to fight.

Women Of the Underworld Warn
Young Girls of the Pitfalls That

Letters received "Wednesday by the
Illinois State Senate Commission in

men of the underworld Knocked at the

ing. One Of these letters signed "K.
R. L." reads:
"To the Commission-Girls don't
go wrong because they are hungry,
or because they need clothes. They
go wrong because they are tempted
by lies and overpowered by the evil in
men.
"They listen to the fair and pretty
things that men tell them and they

themselves and trust the tempter. 1t
is not the employer. I was a good
girl and I worked in store.
II didn't get much money, but that
didn't matter. lived on sS a week
and would be living like that now
but met men. They seemed to con-
slider me their prey and all the time
it was fight, fight. They wanted to
be nice to me, they said and to take
me to the theatre and treat me fair
and give me a chance to enjoy life.
"I didn't know men were bad-all
bad-where a girl is concerned. I
thought only women were bad.
thought all a girl had to do to remain
good was to be truthful with herself.
God pity women who think that and
who keep their trust in men until it
IS too late.
every day it was someone else
always smiling at me-always trying
to give me fair chance to be happy
In the street they followed me.
These I could avoid; but the friends
who hung around!
That is the big secret Of the
thing that makes good girl bad, If
they had left me be-if they had only
left me be-only let me live as l
wanted to, I would not have had to
slink into the room when your COM
mission was trying to solve things
and wouldn't have had to sit in a
corner with my veil down, afraid to
look a good woman in the face"
Another cry from the underworld
echoed the words of this letter. 1t
was more bitter, though, and it read
in part:
you're looking for the things that
made such women as I. Low wages
Dance halls? Hunger? Cold? They
all helped bit, but they did not turn
the trick themselves. You're all
bunch of hypocrites, afraid to look
the thing in the face and afraid to
learn the truth.
"I don't know any girls who sold
themselves for money to buy bread
or clothes. But I do know lots Of us
who hit the road for hell, because a
lot of blackguards kept bounding
them with their rotten attentions
God help the men and not US.
We're all right when we STRAIT. All
we need is to be left alone. There
are hundreds and hundreds Of kids
and sports who hang around State
street and wait and look like wolves
for the tired girls to leave the stores.
"Why don't you make the men be
good? All the wages in the world
won't help US. Make the men good
and the girls will be good.
Now they haven't got chance
and they never will have as long as
the law smiles at one and spits at
another
