WE THANK YOC.

The lntelligencer desires to thank
the Ladies' OF the Civic association for
the kind mention made OF this news
papers efforts to clean up the city
from It's cursed illegal sale of liquor.
II there had been any doubt as to the
correctness OF the position this paper
took in that fight, the resolution ad-
opted by these ladies', and the many
kind expressions we have heard from
them, would convince us that we had
done right. That city cannot go far
wrong whose ladies' take the position
On public questions that Audersons
ladies' take. Their lively interest is a
great safeguard to the forces of right
We wish to assure these ladies that
we are not yet through with the ille-
gal sale OF liquor in Anderson, nor
shall we be till every place where it
is kept and sold is closed up and
every person so engaged is forced to
give up his work, and make an honest
living. II the determined stand taken
by these ladies and by the thoughtful
men who compose the Baraca classes
of our Sunday schools means any,
thing, Anderson will not be a healthy
place for blind tigers in the future

ernment can make the people pros
porous by taxing them Ii of course
contrary to common sense, but that
does not disqualify the idea as a Re-
publican argument.
The standpatters know what they
want-the highest tariff tax that they
dare enact; and they are not particu-
lar what sort of arguments they ad-
vance to hoodwink the American peo-
pie into entrusting them again with
the government. They change their
reasoning al their convenience, bur
whatever their plea, their one object
is the privilege of the few to pIunder
the many through inequitable and in
iquitous tariff taxation.

TRY SUBSTITUTION

"And now. before the new law has

GRANTED A RENEWAL FRAN.
CHISE.

One thing In connection with this
franchise matter which has doubtless
not been thought of by any of our
readers. is that the granting OF a fran
chise few months ago was not new
matter. According 10 our Information.
the Southern Public Utilities Com
pany' or its predecessor, the Ander-
son Water, Light and Power Company
had franchise granted for 90 years
which franchise would have expired
next September. We believe This fran
chise was also granted by City Coun-
Gil without being voted on by the peo-
pie. Therefore, according to the pres
ent opinion. this old contract is also
invalid. yet the present council is in
favor of continuing payments under
IL.
Now, The lntelligencer mas no law
yer to write its editorials, and the
statement we are going TO make may
not hold water when passed upon by
the Supreme Court, but 1t seems d
reasonable position to take. 1t is this:
The P.alting of a franchise to the
Southern Public Utilities Company,
the legal successor of the Anderson
Water Light and Power Company,
was simply granting an extension Of
its previously granted franchise, re-
newal, IL you please. Now, of course
there are some differences in it's pro-
visions because the city is SO vastly
different. When the old franchise was
granted Anderson was a village, or
small town. 1t was lighted by few
kerosene lamps scattered here and
there. The franchise was granted and
Anderson began to grow, becoming
known as "The Electric City, The
abundance OF current and advantages
offered induced many manufacturing
plants to come here, and many thous-
ands were added TO her population.
Therefore when the time for renewing
this franchise came, twenty years lat
er. there were differebt conditions
surrounding the city. and some chang
es had to be made. But. we venture
the assertion that the rights OF the
city are better guarded under the
present franchise than they we're un-
der the old.
But, our contention is that council
had right to grant renewal"
franchise, as 1t did few months ago,
without holding an election to validate
It.
Let US grant, for the sake of argu-
ment. that the franchise is In the ma
lure OF bond issue. When a refund
of bond issue Is to be made. either
by city or state. is 1t ever neces-
sary for It 10 be submitted to the peo-
pie to be voted on second time? Do
not the City Council or State officials
conduct tho refund? SO. did the old
City Council behave so badly after
all?

CONVENIENT REASONING.

Among other results OF the great
war that Is shaking the nations OF
Europe. Il is to be noted that one of
the pet arguments OF Republican
spellbinders has been ruthlessly des-
troyed, No doubt, however, it will be
replaced by another equally speclous
but equally effective Republican pro-
position.
Time was, as everyone knows. when
the chief argument in favor of high
tariff protection was based on the
idea that It's purpose was the foster
Ing of Infant Industries" In the new
conditions OF the Western World. 1t
was not to be expected that industries
would grow UP with the country, but
they must be protected by u tariG wall.
The early advocates of protection fol-
lowed this line of reasoning. But the
time came when the "infant" indust-
rieB became such giants as the Stand
ard Oil Company. the United States
Steel Corporation, the United States
Rubber Company. and others OF like
sort, not forgetting, of course. the
beet and packing house monopolies.
The Infant industry stun began
to show It's ahsur3ity, for the public
would nct be convinced when the plea
OF protecting infant in6us:r was
presented. The public knew that the
Infants had become monsters. and
were demanding tribute and receiv-
! Ing Il at the hands of the Republican
party in Congress, Then the Repub-
.icans changed their logic. They urg-
ed q high tariff III order to protect
American labor from Gle ''pauper" Ia
bor OF Europe. Protection suddenly
became tho concern of the laborina
man, and the manufacturer had no
interest in II. TO hear the Republican
orators tell the story.
Now the European war has come
along and effectively stopped, for .
long time to come. all .pauperr lab
or from Europe from coming into
this country to compete with the
American iaborer. The "paupers. ere
! going 10 the war instead OF to Amer.

imam has no. need for protection
against the iatSr OF the Old world,
But what will De the next line OF ar
