serves IN miiitary matter.
Washington, June 28.-The with
drawal Of financial aid to South Caro-
lima state troops has ELECTED express
sions Of regret. Among the members
Of the South Carolina delegation in
congress today, the greatest regret was
expressed when the existing condition
of affairs became thoroughly known.
Senator Smith said 1t was almost in
asked II he had anything to say re-
garding the matter, replied that as he
saw It there was nothing he could do
to upset the orders Of the war depart
ment, but he would be willing to do
whatever might be possible II he
should be requested to act by respon-
sible parties In South Carolina.
II shall probably have something to
say regarding this matter tomorrow,
Senator Tillman said, when queried
about the situation, but until some
one makes complaint to me, or have
something to work upon, there is moth
ing can do" -
II the members of the different COM
panies affected by the determination
Of the war department to lend no fur
ther assistance. which virtually means
that the command must be disbanded
unless the legislature sees fit to appro-
pirate, take the matter up with the
South Carolina. delegation In congress,
1t is barely possible that something
might be done, provided that the gov
ernor shows disposition to receive
further government aid. Unless this Is
done, however, there is but the remot-
est chance that the troops will be
placed in their former position and be
allowed to have the same help they
have had before the decision Of the war
department was announced.
The fact that many Of the Oldest
commands in the state, some of which
date back many years. are to be denied
further financial assistance from the
government, for reasons now already
known, is regretted not only by the
members Of the South Carolina delega-
ton, by former South Carolinians resi-
dent In Washington and by war de-
partment officials, but by all who are
conversant with the facts in the case.

are disqualified, for 1t has been held
that no citizen who comes within the
constitutional requirements, can be dis
qualified. Every such citizen has q
right to have his name placed In the
jury box, IL he so desires, leaving OF
course the question as to whether the
name comes out, to the chances speci-
fled in the law.
The jury box, under the law, is pre-
pared by the county auditor, the coun-
ty treasurer and the clerk of the court
During the month Of December of each
year, these officials are required to
place In box the names of not less
than one out Of every three qualified
electors in the county, being persons
Of sound judgment and free from all
legal exceptions"
1t frequently happens that the names
Of persons exempt by law, are placed
in the jury box by oversight; but usu-
ally such names are thrown out when
drawn for the purpose of making up a
venire, because otherwise it would
mean only matters of expense and de-
lay, for such persons would generally
appear in court, claim their exemption
have the claim acknowledged by the
presiding Judge and be discharged.
In the case Of Rev. ]. L. Oates, how
ever, there has been no oversight. All
three Of the jury commissioners know
personally that he Is an ordained min
lister Of the Gospel, and 1t is presumed
that all three not only know that as
such he is legally exempt from jury
service; but that the law directs them
not to put his name in the jury box.
1t Is quite clear that the appearance
Of the name of Rev. ]. L. Oates on the
venire Is Of certain significance; but
what that significance is, remains for
future developments.

Plan of Senator Srnith.-The depos-
1t Of $11,000,000 Of the governments
bonds in the banks Of cotton growing
states is proposed by bin introduced
yesterday by Senator Smith Of South
Carolina. The bonds would represent
the amount held by the treasury for
the cotton seized during the civil war,
claims for which have not been adju-
dicated, the amount Of revenue tax on
cotton collected by the government
Just after the war and before the su-
preme court held the tax to be uncon-
stitutional. Senator Smith declares
that the money properly belongs to the
cotton states and that the government
should deposit it there until all the
claims have been settled. The bill
specifies that the money may be depos-
tied in southern banks to aid producers
In financing their cotton crop.

Income Tax ENCOURAGES MARRIAGE

Income Tax Encourages Marriage
In the income tax section Of the tariff
bill, as perfected by the finance COM
mittee a few days ago, bachelors and
old maids are Disseminated against
and babies are encouraged.
Senator John Sharp Williams OF
Mississippi, chairman Of the subcom-
mittee which considered the income
tax, favors taxing bachelors and bach
elor maids. Whether the other men,
bers Of the committee shared his views
the effect Of the work Is the same.
Unmarried persons are taxed on all
income in excess Of $4,000. Married
persons are taxed on incomes over
$4,000. In other words, an extra ex-
emption Of $1,000 is allowed for the
wife, and an exemption Of $500 is al
lowed for each Of the two children.
The family income is combined for the
purpose of levying the tax.
Thus, If a man has an income of
$4,000 and his wife has separate in
come Of $4,000, they will pay on an ex-
cess of $4,000. If they have two or
more children they will pay on only
$4,000 a year. Whether 1t Is cheaper to
get married and avoid the tax or stay
single and pay the tax-gatherer Is left
to the individual to decide. Uncle Sam
encourages matrimony and children.

The Mexican Ambassadorship.

President Wilson's habit of inde-
pendently investigating recommended
tions for appointment may well be ex-
ercised in the matter of naming new
Ambassador to Mexico. The post Of
fcrs the greatest responsibility, and,
therefore. the largest opportunity in
the service Candidates for the honor
arc numerous. II would be interesting
to know the influences that are work
ing for the appointment of each.
Although the possibility of foreign
war is involved in the Mexican situa-
ton, the American public is ill-inform-
cd regarding the operations of the
powerful foreign financial interests
which have exploited or desire TO ex-
plot the riches of the republic. We
know that British oil interests and
American oil interests have warrcd be-
hind the scenes. that the asccndency of
one meant the defeat of the other. We
hear OF attorneys and agents receiving
large fees for operating in the United
States in behalf of one or the other.
II the resignation of the present
Ambassador is to be accepted, the ad-
ministration should, and doubtless will,
be careful to select as his successor
not only man free from any pos
siblc relationship with the various par
ties in interest at Mexico City, but who
will remain free.
Mr.. Bryan not long ago suggested
that President TAFT disclose the iden-
tity of the indorsers OF his judicial ap-
pointccs. Would it not be a good plan
to make known the names of those
who are supporting various candidates
for the embassy at Mexico City?

BARBER WAS RUDE TO DOG,

Paris Correspondent London Telegraph
The amount OF Difference due from I.

friendly admonition to the barber's as

Hence wrath on the part Of the owner
OF the dog, and instant dismissal for the

the solemn and lofty grounds that

In exacting from his apprentices GER

statement of the apprentice. If he bites

The mall carrier is the patient beast
of burden who makes the postage stamp
worth cents.
The man who invented mail carriers
made the Post-office Department endura-
bio and caused It to flourish and expand
while the express companies arc sinking
into the sere and yellow leaf. II the
government delivered mail from a wagon
with extra charges for all mail delivered
beyond a circle Just wide enough to swing
a cat in. we would have amended the
Constitution long ago in order to enable
us to boot the administration out every
two years. But thanks to a far-reaching
intelligence which isn't shown in many
other ends Of the Post-office Department,
a mans mail Is delivered to him whether
he lives in a skyscraper or In den out
on the extreme outskirts of the Thirty
fourth Ward. Even when he removes to
a stumpy clearing nine miles from the
nearest railroad the government hunts
him out and delivers him his patent med
icine circular each morning. He is largely
the reason why revolutions are unknown
in this country.
The mail carrier is the bone and sinew
of a department which has been taught
to run largely without brains. Postmas-
tiers are more necessary in political head
quarters than in post-off1ces, and while
gum has been sold by machinery for
twenty years. the government still tears
of its stamps by hand and sells them
during banking hours. But the mail car

shoulders and carries 1t forward to sue

Tariff Like Banquo's Ghost.


Alrcady an insurgency is develop
ing within the Democratic majority
"f the House of Representatives But
where the insurgents who vexed Can
mons life sought further tariff reduc-
lion than the Payne-Aldrich bill al
iordcd, those now organizing seek to
keep the tariff up-at least, on the
products in which their constituencies
are most interested.
This movement was inevitable. and
no surprise 10 the House leaders:
1t springs largely from the pledge of
the Democratic platform to do all pos
sible to reduce the cost OF living. Re-
1noval in whole or in part OF the tariff
on agricultural products appears to be
the only tariff road to cheaper living.
But the tariff on agricultural products
Is the buiwark OF the protective tariff.
The trainers of the Mckinley tariff
realized this. No less a person than
Robert NJ. La Toilette wrote, in 1890,
the first tariff schedule that extended
generous protection TO products of the
farm. His genius placed a duty on
practically everything the farmer raised
and brought to an end the Western
farmers complaint that the tariff was
Il one-Sided affair, bcnefting chiefly
the manufacturer, enhancing the price
OF all that the farmer bought. but leav-
ing him to sell in a virtually unpro-
tected market.
Since then the manufacturer and the
farmer have proceeded hand in hand.
forming a protective partnership. and
their representatives in Congress main
tanning an alliance which prevented
any large reductions of the tariff.
A considerable portion OF the Dem
ocratic majority now represents con-
stituencies OF the Middle West and
West. where the belief is deep and
abiding that the protective tariff is
largely responsible for the increased
price of farm products in recent years.
Opposition to Canadian reciprocity was
bitterest in this region, because reci-
procity was merely free trade with
Canada in farm products. The New
England Representatives, who. believe
or profess to believe-that the tariff
on certain New England manufactures
is as low as it can be fixed without
closing factories, see an opportunity 70
attain their end by leaguing with the
rural members, whose desire is con-
tinuance of the tariff on food. 1t re-

members will resort to this practice.

the aid of the Republicans, be able to

Michael Blassberg has sold his mill

the greed OF manufacturers, they should

the mill couldn't be made to pay, and

The reason? Experts in manufacturing
say 1t is because Of the growing inefi-
cheney Of village help all over New Eng

of the subject, and Is employed by man
