Not Like the Old Way.

Representative Underwood, in the
eyes of Republican leaders of the
House and Senate, can never be a ut
person to be intrusted with the hand
ling of a tariff bill. When it was
thrown in his face that he was in
terested in the pig-iron business IN
Alabama, he showed that in the Un-
derwood bill the duty on pig-iron had
been cut so per cent. "The time has
passed." he said, when the laws OF
this country shall be written for spe-
cial interests, when men may come to
this Congress and ask for legislation
that shall convert the dollar from the
pockets Of the American people into
their own pockets" Such talk as
that proved conclusively to the Re-
publicans, who believes that certain
interests have a perfect right to rob
the masses, that Underwood would
not do. That was not the way when
the Payne Tariff bill was before Con-
gress; when Senator Warren
Of Wyoming. "the greatest shep-
herd since Abraham" for personal
reasons fought to prevent any change
in the forty-year-old duties on wool,
or when Senator Scott Of West Vir-
ginia exhibited glassware from his
own factory in the Senate chamber
and demanded that high duties be re-
tanned for his own special protection,
,r when Senator Guggenheim Of Col
orado in the metals schedule voted
for his own pocket all the time, or
when Senator Lippitt Of Rhode Is
land, a cotton manufacturer, oppos-
ed reduction of cotton goods duties,
or when Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania Indignantly denied any obliga-
ton upon any honorable Senator to
sit there like "a Stoughton bottle
because his private Interests were af-
fected by a tariff bill, says The New
York World. The Republicans can't
understand how Underwood can fav-
or a tariff that cuts down his own
profits from iron.

SAYS WAR WILL COME
JAPAN WILL LAND TROOPS HERE
IN SIX WEEKS.
This is the View Taken by a Promi-
nent States Right Democratic Sem

This is the View Taken by a Promi-
nent States Right Democratic Sem
ator.
cit would be not at all surprising
if Japan landed troops in California
inside of thirty days or six weeks
declared a prominent Democratic
senator Monday when he heard that
the California senate had railroad
ed" a speedy passage the anti-alien
land bill.
The senator who gave voice to this
alarming statement is in no sense
pessimist, nor is he one of those
who condemn the attitude Of the Cal
ifornians toward the Japanese. He
is strong states-righter and believes
that California has the right to deal
with the question as it sees fit.
Japan could easily land 250,000
soldiers in California within few
weeks" he continued. "The Mikado
could take possession of the state
and all it's resources and industries
and soon pay off the big war lndeot-
edness which some persons believe
is one of the things that will prevent
the japanese from fighting the Unit
ed States at this time.
"War between the United States
and Japan is inevitable soonor or
later. The Japanese must recognize
this fact as we do in this country,
and now is the most inopportune
time for US and the most opportune
time for Japan to strike. We could
not repel an invading army at this
time. 1t would require fully year
for US to develop our army, and it
is out Of the question to suppose
that the national guard could beat
them back.
cit would require three years or
more for US to drive the Japs from
our soil If they land, but eventually
we would conquer them and in time
we could and should take Toxic"

Kettle Calling Pot Black.

If all the reports from Charleston
about the late congressional election
down there are true, the fight OF
Mayor Grace, who supported Hughes.
against Whaley is clear case OF ket'
tie calling pot black, and is not likely
to have much weight with Congress.
The fight on Whaley is being made on
the ground that he bought the elec-
tion. His sworn statement shows
that he spent less than five thousand
dollars on both primaries. In dis
cussing the charges of Grace against
Whaley, The Greenville Piedmont
says:
while we have nothing whatever
in the shape of proof of the charges,
it has been claimed that all hands
spent money freely in the recent
fight. The friends Of Hughes are
said to have been just as free in its
use as the friends Of Whaley. AS
Mayor Grace was one of Hughes
most enthusiastic supporters, indeed
one of his leaders in the fight If we
have been correctly informed, he
must have been aware Of the fact
that during the campaign that money
was being spent freely for Hughes as
! we'll as for Whaley. So far as we
have heard, Mayor Grace made no
protest against money being spent in
behalf of Hughes and if Hughes had
been elected, we suppose he would
have been satisfied.
"Rut alas. Hughes was not elect
ed. The voters Of the district by sew
eral hundred majority declared for
Whaley. And now it is said Mayor
Grace is planning to contest the elec-
ton and report has it that the
grounds of the contest will be that
money was used too freely in the
campaign. 1t i'll becomes the man.
! The use of money in any election is
wrong and is to be condemned. Any
movement looking to the abolition OF
tthe practice is to be encouraged. But
one should first be sure that the
movement is initiated by one that Is
sincere. If Mayor Grace really
wishes to stamp out the practice OF
spending money on elections in Char
lesion and the first district, he should
head popular movement to that end
and he would without doubt have the
support of the better class of people
in his city and district.
eff, however, he does not desire so
much to stamp out the practice OF
spending money on elections so much
as to unseat Whaley then his course
deserves the condemnation of the
public and will undoubtedly receive
it. The public likes d good fighter
but it does not like a fighter that
"squeals" when he loses. We have
no idea that anything will come out
of the protest of Mayor Grace insofar
as the seating of Whaley is concern
ed. 1t may, however, lead to a fight,
whether Mayor Grace so desires it or
not, to stamp out the corrupt prac-
tices in Charleston elections. If so, 1t
will have brought about a good re-
suit

just as radical to-day as he was
twenty years ago. but the people
have grown up to him"
