NOTES FROM THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL
No Change in President Taft $
Policy Of Non Intervention
in Mexico.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. /
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-That
there will be no change in President
Taft's policy Of non-intervention In
Mexico was the official announcement
today. However, should the new adj
ministration decide to send American
troops across the Rio Grande, the
army and navy will be ready.
More than score of the brainiest
men in the army and the navy have
been working for months preparing
for war in time OF peace"
At the army war college here, a
huge map Of Mexico has been pre-
pared. On this is marked every fort,
every arsenal, every base Of supplies
and the location and strength OF
every federal and rebel attachment.
It was long ago determined where
the troops would be modified and
where they would strike the first
blow. These plans are safely tucked
away in huge safe in the secre-
tary OF wars office. The quartermas-
tiers department has reserve Of sup
plies and within four days 10000
troops could be modified on the
border with provisions and other
munitions for three months cam
paign.
The navy is also prepared. At the
Newport war college and in the Of
fee of naval intelligence here, force
of officers has been mapping a
theoretical campaign.
Great pressure has been brought to
bear on the state department to rec
ommend Intervention to President
Taft. Capitalists have shown sta
tistics.

Some time ago tt was understoo u at officers were to be appointed {; keen an eye on the natives and on those who would be likely to give them intoxicants but for some reason no such officers have been appointed and the conditions in Nome are actually growing from bad to worse. It has been pointed out that the municipal authorities are unable to take charge of such people as a little mint would be required to provide jail accommo- dations for those who come under the head of violators of the regulations governing the native liquor trafiic and certainly the municipality of Nome has TO mint in its control at the present time.
 Some oficers have been appointed in the other divisions to look after such matters and 1t looks queer that Nome hes been overlooked. It might be a good idea for those whose callngs make them the natural guardians of the ,n, rals of the natives to make nov, for the protection of the Eski- mos.

|the news should be taken cum grano saIis--which means grain of salt 1t is we'll to say lest there might be n'
 other high toned classical scholars
 around this neck of the woods--and 1t
 should be taken with a grain of salt
 for many reasons that it may not be diplomatic to mention.
 Nome ought to be the distributing point for this strike and for all this part of the territory. There is a com. pany with large interests at St. Mtch- aei which might succeed in keeping from Nome a good deal of trade and 1t certainly has coralled for a long time the trade of the lower Yukon which ought to have been managed by Nome merchants. It is located on a reservation and in thIs way has had the monopoly of a posi- tion which commands tremendous territory. Why 1t has got this advan- tage is something of mystery and 1t might be worth the time of Nome business men to look into the matter should the strike near Andreafski prove to be a good one.

Politics h . word less frequently used In America than 1t once was; now we speak more of the public service
 We need the new phrase.
 Politics had assumed q selfish and sinister meaning. It meant narrow ness. pulls and pettifogsing. and n whole lot of things not in harmony with the larger public aspirations of the American people.
 II means a game. to be played ai- ways at the expense of the people. and for the benefit of schemins and often interruptions place hunters. The very word was corrupted, and the beauty of its etymology was soiled. by the low practices for which it has stood In our lif@ as . nation.
 Politics ceased to be regarded as a science. The word did not suggest economies, or government. or abstract political theories. or sociology: 1t meant a hunt and a scramble for of- flee: election frauds: politics and per- sonai dishonesties and public plundcr.
 So we have begun to speak of public service.
 The phrase fits our purposes better than the word politics. We are rout- ing out the clements of narrow anl pickering partyism in our cities and states. We are demanding eficiency and economy in all branches of public service.
 Instead of men who win do things to us, we are demanding men who will do things for us.
 Instead of politics. which has meant personal and party service. we de- rand public service.
 The word politics may come back Into use and favor; 1t is not a word of bad lineage: but if we return to the old habit of speaking and writing much of politics. 1t will be because the word at length stands for efficient. honest and economical public service. - Ex.

There are some individuals who n,ase a living by the difficulties which arise between different classes of peo- pie end these individuals will lose their stock in trade should the world ever nsr,e. In order to foment trouble such ir diyiduals nre constantly accusing others of being what they are not and ot thinking and believing what they do nH believe. Doing so makes 1t appear t:r;: they are the protectors of the other side and they manage to get the other side to imagine that they owe them q debt of gratitude.
 Religious bigots are accustomed to paint the people of other religions as bigots and the agitators of industrial troubles grow fat by accusing every one else except those who support them of misanthropy. They know that their jobs are lost the moment that anta gonism to their own particu- lar class fading away and their own particular class will he kept wide awake to the fact that antagonism is very much existing whether 1t is or not.

We are very much surprised at the
following which we found in anoth-
er paper credited to the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat: Some of the
few boozers in the State Press assc-
citation are supporters of Governor
Blease. No doubt the constables will
overlook them, as they are friends of
His Excellency"
This is unkind and unfair. We are
surprised that it should have appear
ed in the Times and Democrat. Not
many of the editors are booze artists
to any extent, but it Brother Sims will
just put his memory to work and de-
sires to make comparisons we think
he will find that about as large a pro-
portion of the opponents as those who
favor Gov. Blease are booze artists
at press gatherings. There are very
few who indulge sufficiently at any
time to make any great noise about
it. Our advice to the brethren is to
keep cool and not get excited and to
pack their grips before they leave
home.

The State newspaper deserves COM
mendation of all right thinking peo-
pie for it's efforts to raise by private
subscription the balance necessary to
carry out the suggestion of the legis-
lature as to paying the expenses of
Confederate veterans to Gettysburg.
Of course, the legislature nor any
one else could know in advance how
many veterans would take advantage
of this trip. TIE legislature no doubt
intended to pay the expenses of all
who would go, but made the mistake
of limiting the amount to one thous-
and dollars.
According to the State newspaper
On Monday only about $500 had been
subscribed, and the denclL is ABOUT
S24OO. The proper way to do this, as
we have heretofore suggested, is to
adopt the plan contained in Governor
letter to General league. We
are satisfied the money could be OBJ
tanned in that way and that the legis-
lature at its next session would ap-
propriate the amount to refund it.
If this is done, the amounts sent by
private subscriptions should be re-
turned to the subscribers.

Tuesday, June "A, 1913.

The letter of Gov. Blease to Gen. B.
H. league, anent the paying OF the
railroad fare of the Confederate vet
erans to the Gettysburg reunion is
along the line we suggested the other
day, that if the State started out with
the :prerense of paying the railroad
fare of ali who were in the battle
why then she should pay all of them.
The appropriation, it seems, is not
more 1han one-third of what it will
cost. The suggestion of Gov. Blease
that he and Gen league sign a joint
note and borrow the money and ask
the legislature to provide for it, is the
sensible thing to do. While it is very
nice of the State newspaper, as we
have before remarked, to undertake
to raise the money by private sub
scription, it. is not right to call on a
few people who are little patriotic,
to pay this expense. 1t seems to US
that Gen. league did the right thing
in taking 4p the applications in the
order in which they we're received and
giving each veteran the full amount
provided by law, so long as the fund
lasted. Let. the State pay the defcien-
cy. Refund the money to those who
have paid their subscriptions. We
want to see all the survivors of the
battle attend the reunion, but we want
to see the State do what she started
out to do and not make merely a pre-
tense at doing,

The Sensitive Man.
Spartanburg Herald.

Spartanburg Herald.
George Fitch says: Sensitive men
are greatly to be pftted, but what
most of them need is a good, earnest
kick. They are generally sensitive
because they are too passionately de-
voted to themselves. When you hurt
a sensitive man you hurt the dearest
thing On earth to him and the thing
for which he has the greatest con-
sideration."
And that is very nearly correct.
The man who is always looking out
for slight, finds the most of them.
But listen. Mr. Fitch continues:
"The sensitive man not only suffers
frightfully from words, but neglect
is fatal to him. The lily of the gar
den does not fade without water as
quickly as the sensitive man without
attention. The world is full of tim
id, grief-stricken men who art hunt
ing obscure and close-ftting holes in
which to die because they have been
left off the reception committees or
have been passed over in the newspa-
pers or have been given a careless
nod instead of handshake by some
friend"

One farmer came to US the other
day and endorsed the suggestion of
The Herald and News for Mr.. C. e.
Summer to organize the automobile
association and then let certain sec
tions of the roads to the farmers who
live along the road, and this farmer
said he would be willing to keep his
mile in good repair. Of course the
permission of the supervisor would
have to be obtained. It is easy to
have the thirty miles OF good road if
the people will just cooperate Then
we can get some more. Some one
must take hold of the movement and
organize and direct the forces. Now
is the time for action. We will pub
lish the call for you, Mr.. Summer. Get
busy. No telling how much good you
may do.

Dear The Idler: 1 notice that you
commend and give credit to the city
council and particularly to the alder
man from Ward 8 for the improve
ment to Friend street and speak Of
the work being carried on to the de-
pot. All of which is very nice and
all of which 1 most heartily approve,
but I believe in giving honor to whom
honor is due, and you should remem-
ber that the greater part of the street
that is being paved is in Ward and
the alderman from that ward should
have some recognition in this most
important WORK. Don't you think so?
Suppose we encourage all of them so
that we may get more Of the good
work done. Praise 'em when they de-
serve it and cuss 'em when they need
it. Let the good work go on.
Yours for the cause,
Ward 4 Resident.
Now, what do you think of that?
Here I am trying as best know how
to suggest what is for the good Of
the town and some one coming. along
to find fault. How could 1 know
where the boundaries and divisions Of
the wards are. I don't believe I could
tell you off-hand who the aldermen of
the town are. There is nothing per-
sonal in anything I write or any sug-
gestion 1 make. What want is to see
results. I don't care whether the per-
son happens to be Sam Jones or Bill
Smith. Still I am perfectly willing to
give the alderman from Ward credit
for anything he may do in the way Of
permanent improvement Of the town.
But I will be frank to say that I am
entirely too old and too much out of
date to keep up with individuals.
What I want to see is every man, wo-
man and child in the town working
for the betterment of the town as one
person. Then we will have town.

Attorney Generals Opinion.

Inquiries from candidates and coun-
ty election boards, received by At
tOrney General Garnett, indicate that
some of them misrepresented his
opinion, stating that the election Off
GERS would have to be appointed to
serve for the primary. In some coun-
ties, the question has been raised as
to whether the Election Board could
reappoint the same officers who served
at the election last fall. This may be
done. In reply to inquiries, the At
torney General said:
''The fact that person was appoint
ed as an officer in the November cleo
ton last year does not constitute that
person as an officer in the primary; |;
neither does it prevent that person be-
ing appointed as officer for the primary
this year. The County Election Com
missioners may, if they choose to do
80, appoint the same officers for the
primary who served as officers of the
election last fall"

Guiding that they were missing too
much sport, the young women waded
into the water up to their knees so
that the waves would dash on them,
and the waves washed their feet from

and Miss Faxon struggled to save her,
while Enright hurried to rescue them
Enright knew that Miss Faxon could
swim, and grabbed Miss Cutter, but

Covington, KY, in 1882 for the the
murder of his brother-in-law, H. H.

from the prison in 1892, returned to
the prison and begged Warden Wells

not had minutes peace. He has been

Realizing that he must live a life of

Koors decided he should live it within
