A Business Talk

With no small degree of pride
of the proper kind, we give our
readers this week a paper just
double the size of our regular
issue. This is no industrial OF
anniversary issue-just an issue
setting forth, in part, the advan-
tages of Kingstree as a tobacco
market. To do full justice to
Kingstree market THE Best To-
bacco Market in the State"-
would require paper many times
bigger than any The Record has
ever published and a corps OF
newspaper men numbering small
army.
In Justice to ourselves we may
say that this issue is gotten up
by our regular force and equip
ment and every line Of it was
printed in our office. This goes
to show the size and excellence
of our plant, which is really larg-
er than the town requires at pres
ent, but in putting in this plant
we had an eye to the future, an
ticipating the growth and progress
that, in our judgment, must sure
ly come.
To the liberality of our adver-
tisers Is due, in large measure,
the size and quality of the paper
we are giving Kingstree and the
county. We want to impress this
fact on our readers who appreci-
ate a good paper and we want
them to show their appreciation
by patronizing the business firms
whose advertisements appear in
our columns from week to week.
We guarantee their reliability and
also feel confident in assuring you
that the price and quality of the
goods they offer are equal to, if
not superior to, any to be bought
elsewhere. Why not, then, help
your home paper, your home mer-
chant, and yourself, as well, by
dealing with the enterprising bus
iness men, who every week,
through The Record, invite you
to trade with them?

Bryan's Break

The assertion recently made by
Secretary of State Bryan that ne
is forced to return to the lee
ture platform because the salary
he receives as a member of Pres
ident Wilson's cabinet is made
quate to support his family in a
manner commensurate with the
dignity of his high office, is a
great disappointment to many OF
the great Commoner's admirers
who have regarded him, par eS
cellence, as the leading apostle OF
the simple life-the personifIca-
ton of democratic simplicity
both in public and private life.
Having cherished this delusion for
80 many years Mr. 'Bryan's vol
untary statement to the effect
that he and his family cannot
live on salary of $1,000 a
month in the city of Washington
comes as a distinct surprise to
many of his followers, some OF
whom are beginning to wonder
whether Mr. Bryan is really so
democratic after all.
Another view of the matter Is
whether it is morally right for
Mr. Bryan to accept a salary from
the Government presumably for
his whole time and at the same
time exc out his income by con-
Quoting another business on the
side, so to speak, that requires
his personal attention. Certainly
President Wilson has put on rec
ord in no uncertain way his views
as to the ethics of a Govern
ment official holding two jobs at
once. Mr. Bryan knew just what
his salary would be when he ac-
copied the portfolio of Secretary
of State and it seems that if the
expense incident to up-holding the
dignity of his exalted position
exceeded his expectations, he would
have commanded far more the re-
spect of his constituents and the
country at large by resigning his
office; then he would be free to
devote his entire time to lecturing
and the enjoyment of the gate re-
ceipts appertaining thereto.
Then, again, it is said that
Mr. BRYAN is by no means a
Door man and, moreover, that
the fancy price he commands as.
a syceum sssars and. withal, the

sttss, and wonder where they buy
them? There 10 q law against

see boys from the age of ten years

Plain and Simple Dressing at
School.

The school authorities OF Lake
Charles have taken steps to re-
strict the cost of costumes for the
graduates of the high school there.
They are right. The center of ill.,
tsrsst in graduating exercises
should be the intellectual and mo-
raj quality of what is produced,
and not the size of the parental
bank account. The disparities in
the dress of graduates humiliates
the poorer members of the class,
deprives them of the proper ill.,
SEPARATION to acquit themselves we'll
and inclines the well-to-do to rely
upon their artificial and physical
attractions for preserving their
self-respect. The principle of 70.
strlction should also extend in the
daily attire at school. Disparities
in this frequently drive the poor
and tho proud from the class. Iu
the exercise of taste in making and
fitting the daily dress to the per.
son, there should, of course, be
perfect freedom. Even the color
of the goods should not DO pre-
scribed, but the quality and TIT
