TILLMAN'S LAMENT.

Senator Tillman has given to
the press his speech delivered
last Saturday to the Demo-
cratic caucus of Senators,
which by an almost unanimous
vote ratified the action of the
steerage committee of the Dem
ocratic Senators composed of
nine men, in not giving Senator
Tillman the most important
Craftsmanship of the senate,
that on appropriations. The
speech appears elsewhere in
this issue. 1t would have been
much better if the Senator had
bowed with grace to the will of
his brother Senators, many of
whom were his warm personal
friends, than give vent to such
spleen. In our judgement it was
a wise thing not to put the Sen
atOr at the head of this most
important committee and we
think he should congratulate
himself that he was given the
Craftsmanship of the naval af-
fairs committee. The fact is
the senator is a physical wreck
and we have no doubt but that
this fact more than anything
else, influenced the steering
committee in their action, but
after his TRADE of abuse i'm the
senatorial caucus he might have
known the cacus would not
yield to him. In striking con-
trast to the attitude of Senator
Tillman is that of Senator Mar
tin of Virginia, who got the
craftsmanship of the committee
over Tillman. Martin, the
former floor leader of the SEN
ate, when supplanted by Sena-
tor Kern, as floor leader, took
his medicine and said nothing,
but later on was remembered by
his Democratic colleagues.
No, the truth is Tillman
should not have offered for re-
election because his physical
condition has been, and is now,
such that he cannot represent
South Carolina in the United
States senate as she should be
represented. But now that he
has been elected, he would do
well to realize his physical con-
dition and his consequent limi-
tations and act accordingly.

THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

President Wilson has an
nounced that he favors the
budget system" in conducting
the finances of the government,
rather than the business Cf
"r 'ng un the expenses of the
nation piece by piece" This
shows the good business sense
with which the President is en-
dowed. The budget system"
comes from the mother country
where it has been almost an
universal custom for the
chancellor OF the exchecquer, in
behalf of the ministers, to pre-
sent, annually, to the House of
Commons, the budget which was
a detailed estimate of the
amount of money necessary to
run the government.

THE PITY OF IT.

1t does seem that the humble

heroes get from the state, and
1t is crying shame that it is
to be preyed upon by the politi-
cal vultures. In these days of
grating can't the poor and un-
fortunate be spared?

Now that The Record made the

better part of valor to accept

with ironing is to lay the unfolded

when dried and not ironed.

GOVERNMENT BUFFALO HERD is
INCREASED.

The birth of ten calves in the buff
falo herd maintained by the govern
ment on the Wichita national forest
and game refuge near Lawton, Okla,
has been reported by the game war
den in charge. The herd now con-
tains total of As head of full-blood-
ed buffaloes, or, more properly,
bison, of which 81 are males and 21
females. All of the animals are in
splendid condition.
In 1907 the American Bison So
ciety donated to the federal govern
ment nucleus herd of Is animals
which had been bred and reared in
the New York geological park. Tie
animals were transported to the
Wichita national forest, which is also
a game refuge, and placed under the
care of the Forest Service. They
readily adapted themselves to their
new habitat, but the area upon which
they were placed was within the zone
affected by the Texas fever tick and
during the two or three years fol-
lowing their transfer only the con-
slant care and watchfulness of the
forest officers prevented the COM
plete loss of the herd
The animals were examined almost
daily to determine whether they had
become infested with Texas fever
ticks and were placed in specially
designed cages and sprayed with
crude oil at intervals of from Is to
30 days, but Notwithstanding the ex-
treme precautions which were adopt
ed three of the animals died. Gradu-
ally, however, the enclosures in which
the buffalo were confined were freed
from fever ticks and there is a posi-
bility that as the buffalo adapted
themselves to their new environment
they became more or less immune to
the disease. No losses from Texas
fever have occurred for several years
and the herd has almost quadrupled
in number since it was established
The fact that the herd has not in.

THE "BAND BOYS"

The Americans have not been con-
sidered a musical people. If you
wish to finance a first-class concert,
a platoon of society girls must COM
monty put on their most fluffy frocks
and sell tickets. Usually their smiles
are the winning consideration, rather
than the technique of the artists.
But the custom of open air band
concerts during the summer has be-
come so general as to suggest the
growth of a real musical feeling
Treasury watchdogs may look as
kance at providing the concerts at
public cost, feeling that the choir's
sonorous rendering of Coronation"
and the prattling melodies of the
dance orchestra provide all needed
artistic culture
But there are few appropriations
that slip through with less general
opposition. In many of the smaller
towns the band music is provided
without any compensation.
No community can afford to deny
encouragement to its musicians. 1t
has been said that Americans take
pleasure sadly. But the band con-
cert is a democratic festival which
brightens many lives. The town
without good band seems slow.
The most rustic hamlet may
have fairly good music. Village
wiseacres have been known to re-
mark that it sounds "as il they were
bilin' pertaters in them ere horns. "
At heart they enjoy even the discord-
ant sounds OF practice, as a relief
from the monotony OF silence.
Shall the band boys" play classi-
cal or popular music will be asked.
No program is complete for an out
door recital that does not appeal to
all tastes. THE Racket at Gill
gan's" will draw more hand clapping
and motor horns than the overture to
''Tannhauser" But no band ever
grows in faculty, rythm and imagina-
tion IL it merely rehearses infants
food.

PENSIONS FOR MINISTER'S.

The minister of course ought to
ignore the money end of his job. He
gets so much satisfaction out of souls
saved that obtruding the money mo-
tive on his consideration shows lack
of tact.
But even the country parson on
$500 year is expected to appear in
his pulpit in a fresh and neatly
pressed frock coat. Furthermore,
ministers frequently commit the i'm
prudence of having children. They
might know in advance, also, that
these children would have literary
tastes, and would demand college ed
ucations. Ministers are called passe
at fifty, and superanuated at sixty
At that age poultry culture and SELL
ing life insurance are undertaken
under a handicap.
Recognizing such conditions. the
Episcopal church recently appointed
a committee on pensions, which has
just reported in favor of half pay for
ministers over si&ty-five, with pro-
vision for widows and orphans Bap-
lists and other denominations are at
work on similar plans.
High clerical ideals seem easy
enough when seen from the right
side of a business office. But the
calling does not prove attractive to
the brightest college graduates. In
the Episcopal church, while member
ship was increasing &c per cent, the
clergymen increased but 29.
The clergyman must satisfy the
younger set that his trousers are
properly creased and his stockings
correct He must not affront the
more conservative by crossing his
legs in the pulpit. He needs the ex-
ecutive gifts and grasp of human ma
ture expected from a factory super
itnendent. He must be a skillful
financier, an original thinker,
graphic writer, a forceful elocution-
ist, graceful conversationalist. A
larger allotment of bread and butter
is needed for so inclusive a task.
Some such pension scheme would be
good business for the churches.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

. Among the printers of North Amer
lea in the eighteenth century, the
most famous was Benjamin Franklin,
born January II, 1905, but he is still
more celebrated as a philosopher and
statesman. He established a print
ing office in Philadelphia in 1928,
and as a curiosity we may mention
his Poor Richards Almanack, "
which he conducted for twenty-five
years. Interesting for printers is
also his epitaph, which he composed
himself: The body of Benjamin
Franklin, printer (like the cover of
an old book, it's contents worn out
and stript of its lettering and gild-
ing) lies here, food for worms. Yet

Men as Regulators of All the FASH

Christian Science Monitor: After
an all-night session, 344 tailors rep
resenting "a states of the American
union, in convention in New York
city have voted that the woman's
skirt for the winter of 1894 shall
be from 3S to so inches in circum-
ference around the hem, with a slight
slash, and that it shall clear the
ground by from one to two inches.
This result-and it is more or less
in the nature of a compromise
not reached until numerous amend
ments had been offered to the report
of the committee ON hobbies, numer-
Gus speeches had been made and
numerous roll calls had been record
ed. While it does not appear from
the printed proceedings that section

seems to be fact that many OF the

graphical lines. This may be ac-
counted for reasonably, although it
would seem best to avoid identifying
any section of the country with the
votes taken for or against lesser or
greater leeway for feet and stride.
There are some things, even in the
proceedings of men tailors who are
setting the fashion for women, that
might better be left out of public
discussion. 1t is probably the case
that a greater circumference of hem
is necessary in some parts of the
country than in others because of
difference in length of feet and
length of stride, but as all come
within the maximum of fifty inches,
it will be as we'll to let this phase
of the subject drop. What is of
great deal more Importance is the
fact that men insist upon regulating
all these things for women. Women,
in fact, have as little to say about
the circumference of their skirts as
about the height of street car steps.
Men in different states of the Amer
ican union-in "a of them, that is
take certain observations, come to
certain conclusions, adopt certain
laws, and women have got to wear
what these men agree among them
selves she shall wear. This is not
true of skirts only; it is true of suits,
of hats, of practically everything in
the line of fashions. And 344 men
having made the laws regulating
style, many millions of other men
stand off and criticise and ridicule
woman for wearing the things she
has got to wear if she is going to
be in fashion at all!
This seems all wrong-fundame
tally wrong. Possibly if women were
to take the whole matter out of the
hands of men they would not do
much better about some things, but
they would, at least, have the salts
faction, when criticised or ridiculed
for adopting oddities in fashion, of
knowing that they deserved it. And
it seems reasonable to believe that
if women did the absurd thing once,
and were criticised and ridiculed for
it, they would not continue to invite
such comment, as the men tailors do.
But, for once at all events, let it be
known widely and thoroughly, that
men and not women will be RESPONSE
