The communication Mr.. Lind bears
WIN not be handed to Mexico for
several days at least when it also
viii be transmitted to diplomatic rep
resentatfyes Of foreign Powers in
Washington.
What the result Of publishing these
views win be, officials here do not
venture 10 predict. They have no as
surances that the Huerta Government
viii accept them but they believe the
spirit thus far shown BY the Huerta
SMcials justifes a hopeful outcome
dor the success Of Mr.. Lind's mission.
gt is expected in diplomatic circles
that President Huerta will formally
announce call for an early election
&or President even setting the date.
Constitutioaalists hitherto have
claimed they would not engage IN any
election IN which the Huerta Govern
nent exercised control over the eaec-
don machinery. The possibility Of an
agreement, however, for a nonpartis-
IN committee of Mexicans to conduct
DE election Is being discussed and
should tie situation actually progress
TO that point It may be that informal
efforts win be made oy Mr.. Lind to
secure participation by the Constitu-
tlnnalist leaders in such plan.

Prohibition Rally Friday.

A large crowd representing almost

held a prohibition rally here in the
court house Friday. The crowd num-
bered more than 200, many of whom
were women. Splendid addresses
were made by the Rev. J. w. Guy of
spartanburg, assistant superintendent
of the Anti-saloon league; Thomas M.
Seawell, editor of the Batesburg Her
aid and principal of the Batesburg
graded school; the Rev. S. G. Ballen-

Dinner was sserved on the court

Saturday the speakers went to J. G.
Rooms in upper Hollow Greek section
where another rally:was held. Rallys
have been held in almost every Sec

days and every minister, we believe,
in the county have wrought well, to
say nothing of the encouragement
and succor of the churchgoing people
of the county.

WHAT Is SOCIALISM?

! In the ranks of industrialism the bat
on of the field marshal is at the bot
! tom of every recruits knapsack. all
! though not every one has the wit to
! find it, writes A. Maurice Low in the
February number of the North Amer
lean Review. But it is there, and that
is the incentive to hard work, to decent
living, to the exercise of mans rea-
soning faculties. That is the reward to
which every apprentice may aspire; but
what would be his reward if the state
took over all industry? Assuming an
! absolutely honest civil service where
there is no favoritism, where influence
counts for naught and merit is the sole
test-an ideal state of affairs not inn
possible of realization, but practically
almost so-the faithful, diligent. and
intelligent government servant would
slowly gain his promotion and might
hope, after long years of service, to
reach the highest rung in the ladder
an agency or the management of an
important bakery, let us say. But he
would always remain a hired man, a
servant of the state. Socialism would
mean implanting upon western civil
ization the debasing and injurious eff
fects of the caste system of the East.
A man would be born a baker and die
a baker; in all probability the son
would follow in the footsteps of the
father, and there would be a caste of
bakers in America just as there is a
cast of offal collectors in India L take
it this phase of Socialism has not been
considered by the Nottingham, and I
believe that the average American
working-man is too intelligent and too
ambitious to surrender the hope of re-
ward for the dubious benefit of be-
coming a barnacle of the state,
especially as the first and most
marked effect of Socialism would be
to increase the cost of all commodities
without comforting any corresponding
benefit

FOUR YEAR TERMS.

A half-loaf is better than none, OF
course. But it falls far short of be-
ing as satisfactory. And this is exact
ly the situation with respect to the
proposed constitutional amendment
lengthening terms of office to four
years, as it has passed the senate. II
affects only state offices. That is
most desirable. to be sure. The peo-
pie have asked for it. And they have
asked for something more. They want
the terms of county offices extended
in like fashion.
This reform has applied to- the
people most strongly because it pro-
vides the way for putting a stop to
the incessant political turmoil that has
prevailed in Kansas of late years, and
particularly since the inception of the
primary. If it is applied merely to
state offices the important end sought
can scarcely be attained. AS a matter
of fact the boiling of the county po-
litical pot is even more bothersome
than are the activities in state politics.
A set of county officers is hardly in
stalled before candidates for the same
offices begin to preen themselves for
the primaries of sixteen months or
ing and buttonholing a nuisance as
far as the general public is concerned.
But their activities also mean that
first termers in office must devote con-
siderable of their energies to keeping
their political fences in repair. They
must do this if they would have a
chance of gratifying their ambitions
for a second term. This necessarily
takes time and attention from their
work, and their usefulness to the COM
munity is thereby just that much i'm
paired. Then, too, under a four year
term, with ban placed on reelection
without one intervening term, no
officer would feel the necessity
of measuring any of his acts by politi-
cal considerations.
Indeed, every argument that can be
advanced as to why this plan is wise
one for state offices is just as forceful
as to why it would be good one for
county offices. Under present condi-
tons, too, municipal elections follow
so closely after county and state cleo
lions that local politics are continu-
ously on deck. And there will be lit
tie relief from too much politics, if
county offices are not included in the
amendment in question
as it finally comes from the legislature
,or submission to the people.

and in the mechanical performance OF
his moral duties overlooks the spirit
that leaveuth the whole lump and
makes it palatable to the publican ana
