HONEST SERVICE

(To be Continued.

Remarks BY an Editor Who Appreci.
ates His Work.
The newspaper game affords rich
study in human nature. When sub
scriber comes in to discontinue his
subscription, he usually utters the
words: stop my paper" in deep
theatrical tone of voice, freighted with
gloom, as a judge pronounces life
sentence. And when l fail to show
signs Of poignant, frantic grief. look
of mingled incredulity and shock ap-
pears on his face.
The explanation lies in the fact that
he does not understand my viewpoint.
Possibly a dozen persons discontin-
ued their paper last year. At least four
times that number of new subscribers
were added to the list. Subscribers
come and go. No editor can please
everybody. God can't do it. He makes
his rain to fall on one mans corn that
needs it. and another man cusses be-
cause his oats are not in.
would be glad to have the Tribune
enter every home within fifteen miles
of Fountain Inn, provided it was
warmly welcomed there. But / do not
want one single copy to enter home
where it is not appreciated. l have no
desire To cast pearls.
And | feel rather the same way
about business. II a man has absolute
confidence in my integrity, | want his
business. If he has the least suspicion
that / am untruthful or dishonest, l do
not want his patronage or his friend

is in me into it. l would not sell my
self to grudging paymaster nor to a
thankless patron.
If you don't like the Tribune, It's
probably because you are not very
bright. But you may find consolation
in the fact that there's no law COM

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT
Senator sorah Says II Ought to be
Repealed.


After a vigorous defense Of woman
suffrage in the senate last Tuesday.
Senator Borah, Of Idaho, shocked suf-
frage advocates on the floor and in the
galleries by declaring 1t was impracti-
cal and impossible for women to obtain
the vote by constitutional amendment.
He predicted that after years Of vain
endeavor woman would renew their
abandoned request before the people
Of the states.
You will never carry the required
36 states for a constitutional woman
suffrage amendment" said the sena-
tor. until you repeal the fifteenth
amendment"
Asserting that the fifteenth amend
ment, giving the negro the right to
vote, was a blunder in the first place
and now a dead letter, not being en-
forced in single state, Senator Borah
asked whether advocates Of the wo-
man suffrage amendment now pending
for moment supposed southern states
would add 100000 to the list Of those
whom they must disfranchise.
Violation Of law is a bad thing" he
added. 'It Is demoralizing to the ne
gro race to place in the constitution
the form Of rights that we do not mean
to see they shall enjoy"
The fifteenth amendment, the sena-
tor declared, was blunder. engen-
dered in a spirit Of retaliation, with the
result that after the first blush Of sat
isfaction, the north had connived at
the south's violations Of 1t. The amend
ment infringed upon states rights and
might furnish precedent for an
amendment declaring the right to hold
real estate or attend school should not
be denied to race or color.
II have no DESIRE" explained the
senator, ito bestow the franchise on
the 10000 Japanese on the Pacific
slope or yield up to the Federal govern
ment the control Of the school ques-
tions Of the Pacific coast"
Answering a question by Senator
Thomas, Senator Borah said he was In
favor Of repeating the fifteenth amend
ment IL woman suffrage could be OBJ
tanned in no other way. The Idaho
senator and Senator Vardaman engag-
ed in a tilt over the progress of the
negro race.
Senators Lane, Thomas and Poin-
dexter spoke for the amendment. No
vote was taken and the resolution will
come up again tomorrow.

SAINT PATRicK's DAY
Birthday Of ireland's Patron Saint
Celebrated Last Tuesday.
For he's the patron of the Emerald

Birthday Of ireland's Patron Saint
Celebrated Last Tuesday.
For he's the patron Of the Emerald
Isle"
The old Irish song from which the
above verse is quoted, was sung in
many countries last Tuesday. 1t was
the birthday of Saint Patricius, who
according to any Irishman, was the
greatest man who ever lived. There
were monster celebrations in many Of
the largest cities of the United States
In honor Of the occasion, and many
were the bits of shamrock pinned upon
coat lapels.
In Ireland Saint Patricks day Is a
much more important epoch than
Christmas. It compares with the 4th
of July in the United States. Every
Irish man, woman and child array
themselves in gala attire and give the
day over to bonfires, parades, feasting
and drinking. In every town and ham,
let, the celebration takes place and rich
and poor, high and low all join togeth-
er in celebrating the memory Of the
saint.
According to tradition Saint Patrick
was born 1881 years ago. The place Of
his birth is matter Of dispute. Most
students say that he was born in
France. When very small boy he was
sold into slavery in Ireland. He man
aged to escape, however. crossed over
into France. and in that country ac-
quired an education.
Some years afterward he returned to
the "Ould Sod" as missionary and
spent the rest Of his life there, estab-
fishing schools and monasteries, heal
ing the sick and ministering to the
pagan Irishmen.
Many are the legends in regard to
the saint. All Irishmen avow that 1t
was he who drove all the snakes out
of Ireland. Whether this Is a myth or
not is a question; but 1t Is fact that
there is not reptile in the whole is
land.
There Is another legend that Saint
Patrick once had personal encounter
with the devil, conquered him and
drove his satanic majesty out Of the
country, forbidding him ever to return.
Although this may have happened and
satan might have stayed off Of the
isle during the lifetime Of his conquer
or. he evidently had no scruples about
coming back after his death, and has
since been as thoroughly at home there
as any where else.
The time Of his death or the burying
place Of the idol Of Ireland Is not
known, but he still lives in every Irish
heart and from the time they are born
until they die, little Irish children hear
many wonderful and interesting tales
of the life and work Of the good Saint
Patricius.

THE CARE OF BOOKS
Twenty-one Suggestions Governing
Their Intelligent Care.

Twenty-one Suggestions Governing
Their Intelligent Care.
The following rules on how to care
intelligently for books are taken from
the Baltimore News:
Never hold a book near the fire.
Never drop a book upon the floor.
Never turn leaves with the thumb.
Never lean or rest upon an open
book.
Never turn down the corners Of
leaves.
Never touch a book with damp or
soiled hands.
Always place a large book upon
table before opening it.
Always turn leaves from the top
with the middle or forefinger.
Never pull a book from shelf by
the binding at the top, but by the
back.
Never touch a book with a damp
cloth or with a sponge in any form.
Never place another book or any
thing else upon the leaves Of an open
book.
Never rub dust from books. but
brush it off with a soft, dry cloth or
duster.
Never close a book with pencil,
pad of paper, or anything else be-
tween the deaves.
Never open a book further than to
bring both sides of the cover into the
same plane.
Always keep any neatly bound bor-
rowed book covered with paper while
in your possession.
Never attempt to dry book, acci-
dentally wet, by fire, but mop on the
moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
Never write upon paper laid upon
the leaves Of an open book, as the
pencil or pen point will either
scratch or cut the book leaves
Never lend a borrowed book, but re-
turn 1t as soon as you are through
with it, that the owner may not be de-
prived of its use.
Never cut the leaves of a book or
magazine with a sharp knife. as the
edge is sure to run into the print, nor
with the finger, but with paper cut
ter or ordinary table knife.
