TWO CAN THINK OCCASIONALLY

It was a literary dinner. Things
had been going rather Slow in the
conversation line, when someone
turned the talk to the various curious
methods of working employed by lit
erary geniuses.
Several tales had gone the round
and evoked feeble smiles, when an
elderly man seated at the top of the
table, cited the case of a we1-knoWn
writer who was wont to arouse his
spouse in the wee sma' hours and ex-
claim:
Jessie, get up; I've thought of a
good word" Whereupon Jessie
would obediently arise, crawl out of
bed, and make a note of the word.
A little later, as likely as not, new
inspiration would seize him, and his
better-or working-half would
again be aroused from her slumbers
with:
Get up, wife; I've thought of
better word"
The company listened to this an
ecdote with rapt interest, when sud
denly witty girl, who until then had
been bored to death by the evenings
proceedings, remarked:
Sr'WeH, if he'd been my husband, I
know what l should have done;
should have replied: My dear, get
up yourself; I've thought Of a bad
wordY"

recently in the Senate, the New York
World says:
Senator Ben Tillman is exhibit
ing grave concern over the 'degrad-
ing influence on women of the right
to vote. We had BETTER he says,
politics and debauchery in our gov
eminent, rather than bring about a
condition which will mar the beau
ty and dim the luster of the glorious
womanhood to which we have been
better afford to have degraded and
corrupt politics than degraded and
bad women It would Indeed be a
scandalouA thing for women voters
to interfere in any way with the
exalted quality of government South
Carolina has so long enjoyed. And
it is painful to consider what might
happen If women went to the polls
to vote against Gov. Cole Blease.
Voting HAS never caused any deter
ioration in mems character, and it
is not clear how it can dim the lus-
argument is about the most futile
pleas advanced against woman suf-

| ariff Bill Will
Ruin Industries

Washington, D. c.. Sept. 3.-De-
claring that the pending tariff bill,
If passed, will mean ruin for many
Of Americas industries, and that
tariff tinkering in the past by the
Democrats had invariably been fol-
lowed by disaster, Senator Bradley OF
Kentucky last week addressed the
Senate.
1T has been said If any manufac-
turer closes his factory or reduces
the number or compensation of his
employees he is to be mercilessly
prosecuted and punished" said SEN
ator Bradley.
"Although he is forced to compete
with cheap labor, nevertheless he
must continue to pay full price, and
even if he becomes bankrupt he will
be punished for assisting in a panic. :"
Senator Bradley gave a history of
Democratic tariff making, showing
that the party had never had a con-
sistent tariff policy. He said that
when Buchanan was nominated in
1856 1t was proclaimed by the par
ty that it was time to have free trade
In following years that the party
switched to policy favoring a rev.
enue tariff, and stating that it was
the wish of the party to injure NJ
industries.
He defended the protective tariff
system of the Republican party and
declared that great prosperity had
been the lot of the country under
its operation. He insisted that the
high cost Of living had no connection
with a prefecture tariff, and pointed
OIL that there hal been no increase
in many Of TIN, dutiees imposed. but
that articles of food and wearing ap-
parel had continued to increase in
price, nevertheless.
"Thc bill We have hcfo. us Should
have it's title changed so as to read:
An act to reduce tariff duties, to
provide revenue for the government.
to encourage manufacturers and 1nr-
mers and to reduce tho wages of
American workmen,' "xaid Senator
Bradley.
"The full effect of this bill is hea-
Wy reductions OF finished PRODUCES
materials which csnnot De produced
in this county,
said:
"The Republican party is coming
back. The injury inflicted on the
cohntry by THIS tariff bi'l will fur
nish Il platform upon which all will
safely and gladly stand"
