PRAISE WILSON HIGHLY
PAY TRIBUTE TO LOFTY TONE OF
HIS ADDRESS

But Seem to Think He May No,
be Able to Translate His Idealisn
Into Ideas.
While paying tribute of adm:ra,
| ton to the earnest and lofty tone OF
President Woodrow Wilson's address
the London morning papers express
doubt that he will succeed in trans
lating it into practical politics.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Presi.
dent Wilson has plucked the string
CT pure idealism whose sound may be
pleasant in the ears of his country
men. But if congress is to join in the
work Of reform it will probably be in
response to irresistible movements IN
the nation itself rather than in def
at $3.50 o'clock that the case would
proceed. A number of attorneys
were in court to appear for the State
and defense. With r. L. Gunter, So
licitor, were associated r. H. Welch
Of Columbia, B. W. Miley and J. H.
Kirkland of Bamberg. Mayfeld &
Free OF Bamberg and P. T. Hide
brand of Orangeburg, solicitor of the
First judicial circuit, represented the
defense.
One hour and thirty minutes was
consumed in the drawing of the jury.
The venire was exhausted and an
extra venire summoned. The first OF
the extra veniremen to be presented
to the bar was accepted and the pam
ell was completed as follows: J. D.
Sandifer, G. W. Bessinger, J. G. Kin
sey, A. H. Patrick, J. A Gillian, II.
S. Kearse. C. C. Elzey, J. F. Staley, P.
E. Jennings, J. 3. Brickle, A. R.
Dempsey, A. H. Kirscn.
The defense objected peremptoriiy
to eight jurors and the State to FIVE
Nine Jurors were excused by the
court on account Of relationship with
those concerned in the case, 1Gd
three when they announced that teey
had expressed an opinion in regard
erence to the desires expressed by
the president. Whatever happsIS,
however, his presidential term is GER
tain to be a remarkable and vivid
period in the modern development of
the United States"
The Morning Post says: eft re-
mains to be seen whether President
Wilson is a great statesman. But at
least it may be said that his add ass
is no less remarkable because not
pugnacious. 1t strikes new note in
American policies, which over here is
called social reform"
The Graphic says: Every thought
full man will wish the president good
luck. Echoes Of his noble address
will bring to this old world of oIrs,
in its mad pursuit, Intentional IN
charitableness and bloated schemes
of military holocaust, welcome ne
sage OF better things and manlier
striving"
"The United States must be heart
lily congratulated upon having such a
true Democrat and such a fearless
st: esrlan at it's. head" says The
Da, hronicle, land when some of
tn --latest nations seemed to be
making a moekery of humanity his
clarion call should echo far beyond
the American shores"
The Daily News says president
Wilson has set up fine ideal and,
like brave and upright man, has de-
livered himself into the hands of the
judges by giving them measure by
which to test his loyalty to his coun-
try and his fitness to undertake it."
The Express describes Mr.. Wilson's
address as that an academic pro-
fessor called upon to deal with prac-
teal politics, full of noble sound, but
difficult to tell what it may signify.
The Daily Mail thinks the presi-
dents address conveys somewhat
too black impression of modern
American life and conditions. "1t
q is chiefly in generalities, says
paper, land makes no very spe-
&c proposals. But one fact appears
.early-that the era Of free competi-
ton is ended in America and the day
of government control of industry is
at hand"
Referring to the difficult task be-
fore President Wilson The Mail eX-
presses the fear that foreign compli-
cations, such as Mexico, may hinder
