FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE
HEAR CANDIDATES TALK

Four thousand citizens of York
and adjoining counties who
gathered at Filbert Friday for
the annual picnic, heard spirited
speeches by seven men promi-
nent in South Carolina politics of
the present and immediate fu-
ture, says a dispatch to the
Charlotte Observer. The logical
star of the day, Gov. Cole L.
Blease, placed last on the pro-
gram in order to hold the crowd.
spoke less than five minutes, his
address being terminated by the
approach of threatening rain
storm.
In the course of his remarks
he said that the selection of a
governor is a matter for the peo-
pie and he would not attempt
any dictation in that regard, but
he intimated in effect that if any
other man than a good Bleasite
were elected to that position the
speaker would pardon so many
prisoners during the balance of
his own term that the new gov
ernor would have little left to do
to occupy his time. He had the
full sympathy of his audience.
A plethora of candidates
featured the Filbert picnic. The
speakers included Congressman
ID. E. Finley, former Senator
John L. McLaurin, who is ex-
pected by many to be a candidate
for governor: Representative
George R. Rembert, Hon. John
G.. Richards, Hon. Charles A.
Smith, Hon. M. l.. Smith, avowed
candidates for governor and
Governor Blease, who is candi-
date for the United States SEN
ate to succeed Hon. E. d. Smith.
Senator Smith was unable to be
present, stating that he believed
it his duty to remain in Washing
ton at this critical time.
Despite the fact that this is an
Off year in politics, in view of
the fact that the lines are already
being drawn for next year, it
was expected that some sharp
clashes which would make politi-
cal history would occur, but they
did not materialize. The oc-
casion was deemed propitous for
a showdown, and from one end
of the Palmetto State to the
other attention was directed
there. Filbert may not (and
does not) command long primer
type in any standard atlas of the
world, but there are times when
1t looms very large indeed on the
political map of South Carolina
since it won from its neighbor
Tirzah the honor of staging South
Cardinals political field day.
But the picnic of 1913 has
passed into history and Governor
Blease has not yet designated the
man whom he would prefer to be
his successor. There were those
who believed that former Senator
Mel .aurin would throw down the
gauntlet Friday and commit his
cause to the people; there is
reason to believe that he went
cooked and primed for any at
tack which might be launched
at him by the opposition. so that
he might declare himself. No
such opportunity presented it
self. The ex-senator, at the
close of general speech, threw
down the bars and told the
boys" that he would be heard
from later in the day of personal
politics if anybody desired it.
but this challenge was not ac-
cepted.

 WEDDING FEAST

Berlin, May 23-King George of England, at present the guest of Elm peror William on the occasion of the marriage of Princess Victoria Luise to Prince Ernest August, Of Cumberland, spoke earnestly but briefly today on the necessity for the maintenance of peace in the world. Replying to an address presented to him by the Brit ish residents of Berlin, gathered at the British embassy, His Majesty said:
 '@The preservation of peace Is my fervent desire as it was the chief aim and object of my dear fathers life.''
 This, the first and only political note sounded during the wedding festivities of the Ehnperor's daughter was taken to epftomize the chief significance of the royal and imperial visits a dem onstration of the peaceful and friend ly relations existing between the three pow erful dynasties.

BROTHER ABBorTs CASE.

When 1t comes to being all things te all men, as the Scripture recommends Grand-brother Lyman Abbott makes performance that is not excel1ed. It was a mistake for the American Peace Society to remove him from it's list of vice-presidents- The reason for doing so was that Brother Abbott indorsed the Navy Leagues appeal for suitable appropriations for batt1e-ships. But surely Brother Abbott shows himself a friend of peace when he favors ex- penditure for battle-ships.
 What is the weightiest argument nowadays for peace?
 Is it not the immense cost of arma- ment2
 People don't greatly mind being complaint, and those who survive de- rive some advantage from survival.
 But people dislike exceedingly to be taxed, and there is nothing they hate worse to be taxed for than armies and navies- Nothing puts them more out of conceit with war than to feel the cost of perpetual preparation for it. Nothing Is working harder for peace today than the navies of the world. They cost so much that in Eu- rope they are an almost fntolerable burden; they are too valuable to use for fighting purposes, and are good for nothing else, and are the swiftest of all vessels on the course to the 3unk-heap. Navies work all the time for peace, and the more they cost the more effectual their efforts are. pr. Abbott Is for our navy and for peace; two perfectly consistenct emotions. The American Peace Society had bet ter put him back on their list. Their policy seems to be to stop the dose just as 1t is doing the patient good. Brother Abbott knows better,-Har- per's Weekly

 The action of the Japan parlia- ment regarding that nations participa- ton in the Panama-Pacific Interna- tiona1 Exposition, confirming the as surances previously given, especially in view of the recent events in Cali fornia is a matter of deepest grati- faction to the exposition management.
