is THERE A CONSPIRACY
AGAINST PROGRESSIVES?
Interesting Article in McClures Magazine, "What Will
son Is Up Against" Seems to Indicate it.

What Wilson is up against" is the
title of the somewhat startling and
decidedly pessimistic article in Nc
Clures Magazine for February by
George Kibbe Turner.
The writer reviews the political ca
reer of Mr.. Wilson from the time
something over two years ago when
he was taken up, nominated and ell
ected governor of New Jersey as
theoretical politician, and he gives the
New Jersey governor credit for his
extraordinary gifts" brilliant ami
practical achievements, even while
writing of him in a cynical vein. He
admits that Governor Wilson car
ried out his contract" with the people
of New Jersey smashed Smith," the
New Jersey boss, and his political
machine, and successfully persisted
lin passing the reform measures
which he had promised the people Of
that state to bring about
The writer simply follows Governor
Wilson through the critical periods of
his campaign for president and shows
that at every point he successfully
combined the practical politician with
dis theoretic principles of govern
ment notably when he refused TO

conservative or a progressive should
preside over the Baltimore conven-
ton, returning Mr.. Bryan a sharp
clear-cut statement of his position "
and by that one act became the
president of the United States"
But the forces with which Mr.. Viii
son had to contend hitherto, says Mr.
Turner are "of minor consequence
when compared to the forces of re-
action that are shaping now to meet
the new president in the national
congress at Washington"
He sets forth the power and meth
DDS and influence of the "old time
professional congressman" and SEN

If Sumter farmers could accomplish
as much effective work in each sue

disaster to them. 1t is a fact that
more good work has been done in the

are presented. Already many thous-
and acres are ready for planting.
Indeed, the weather has been ideal.
and many farmers will be ready to
plant corn early in February. At
this date last January scarcely A
field had been thoroughly broken up,
due to the continued rains at that
time, and the corn crop had to be
planted in burrows, opened in unbrok-
en- fields, for the most part.
The oat crop, which by the way, is
one of the largest ever planted in
Sumter county, is growing splendid
ly. Cold has not injured the oat crop
thus far, and unless a February
freeze strikes it, a great yield IS
promised.

come; he represents the reactionaries
as being in control of the legislative
machinery in both houses, and class
es Underwood as a member of this
element, who, he says, has welded
together a new machine"
Mr.. Turner says:
underwood, with Speaker Clark as
his ally, as is generally known in
Washington, is busily at work per-
fecting this machine. He purposes 10
control as before. Both men are de-
feated candidates for the presidential
nomination; and one of them, Speak
er Clark, is very bitter over his DE-
feat. He is a thorough and whole
hearted enemy; he carries his feel
ings to their logical extreme; and it
was a common joke during his cam
paign for the presidency, that he
would not appoint a congressman who
opposed his nomination, even to a
place on a committee to attend a
funeral.
The association of both men dur
ing their campaign have brought
them closer than ever to the reaction
airy elements in their party Under
wood was backed financially chiefly
by Thomas F. Ryan-that stock Me-
phistopheles of the democratic party;
and his presence as Ryan's guest at a
dinner of magnates early in Deem
Der showed the continuance of friend
ly relations. And always the conser-
yative tendencies of both Underwood
and Clark are likely to be stimulated
by any marked preference that Will
son may develop for their radical op.

nings Bryan-the arch enemy Of
both Underwood and Clark-to a cab

both men into sharp opposition to the

Quoting a cheap, hypocritical bluff at

Mr.. Turner, at the outset of his a.
ticle, refers to Governor Wilson as

We do not believe that Mr.. Turner
states truly or fairly the attitude O:
Underwood and Clark and Senators
Martin and Simmons to the admins

not believe that these men are in a
conspiracy to defeat the policy of the
party in this regard. We believe they
are thoroughly convinced of the vital
necessity to the salvation both of the
party and of themselves to assist the
administration in CARRYING out its
pledges to the people Mr.. Turner
plainly falsifies in the facts when he
says no promise was made in the

1864 he was nominated by radical
republicans for president, but as it
appeared that his nomination could
only result in the defeat of both

General Fremont was governor of

THE probability of an overthrow Of
the conservative control of the next
house as a result of the outcome of
the last election is small-unless
some force outside of congress
achieves it. The situation is the same
in the senate-except that conserva-
tism is really stronger there. The
house has lacked, and APPARENTLY will
lack, the positive force to free Itself
from its traditional organization. But
in the senate a notwithstanding all
votes-is still positively conservative

Continuing, Mr.. Turner says:

beauties of many cities-E Edinburg, Brus-

others. Every tourist who has travelled
abroad knows thati European cities are
far more attractive, aesthetically, than the
average American city. But Birming-
ham is a city of great beauty. 1t has
the advantage of natural, rugged scenery
and this scenery is being artistically
treated by landscape architects.

BEAuX FOR HIRE

From the New York Press.
London shopgirls who cant catch a
beau have solved the problem. They
merely go out and hire them by the
hour, by the afternoon or by the even
ing. Some of them have a STEADY" by
the week
1t is the East End of London that
has hit upon this unique plan of pur-
chasing attentions and escaping the OBJ
noxious opprobrium of old maid. The
men are called walkers out and they
usually are working chaps who have
good looks, nobby clothes and the gift
of CAB. In the East End of London and
the manufacturing towns of England
especially the finger of scorn is al
ways ready to be pointed at the girl
who has no Lothario to dance attend
ance on her to escort her to picture
palace or theatre, and this is situa-
tion which no daughter of Eve could
tolerate.
The consequence is natural. The maid
who cannot attract man by her
charms often is very willing to pay for
his company, and there Is never any
lack of gallants eager to play the role
of escort TO her for consideration.
In the busy streets on Saturday night
you will see them by the score, dressed
in such fnery as their pockets can af-
ford, ready to act as sweethearts. The
girl who wants their escort reviews
them with critical eye, signals to the
one who takes her fancy, and the cou-
pie disappear together to spend few
hours at a picture palace or in listen
ing to the latest comic songs at a
local music han.
| OF course, II is all perfectly proper
The girl hands her purse TO her swain
who acts as paymaster for the outing
and receives SO or rs cents as the re-
ward of his chivalry, while she con-
siders the money we'll spent for the
company of an agreeagle escort and for
| the pleasure of showing to the world
she at least is not among the manless
| maids.
But it is not every man who can as
pire to this honorable office. The pro-
fessional walker out must be a man OF
good character The loafer and he who
is too fond of his cups" either has no
chance or gets short shrift. He must
be an escort to be proud of He need
not be handsome, but he must at least
| be well dressed and an entertaining
companion. The shabby man may look
| in vain for employment; the dull dog
is soon sent about his business.
When money is scarce two girls will
| combine to obtain the company of one
gallant, sharing the expenses and also
the fee, which is no more for two than
for one. And, perhaps, curiously, there
is little or no Jealousy although the
same man may play the escort to a
days.
