HONOR FOR DUTY DONE.

The nation mourns the loss Of the
brave lads who died at Vera Cruz and
al the same time honors them because
they paid TO their country the last
full measure Of devotion" Perhaps
all of us can join in the sentiment so
finely expressed by President Wilson,
feeling a touch of envy of those who
were permitted so quietly, SO nobly to
do their nduty.' In his memorial adj
dress the president used these words
which are worth remembering'
DUTY is not an uncommon thing,
gentlemen Men are performing IL in
the ordinary walks Of life all around
as, all the time, and they are making
great sacrifices to perform it. What
gives men like theae peculiar distinc4
ton? Not merely that they did theil
duty. but that their duty had nothina
to do with them or with their owl

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES.
BuNc OR BUSINESS.

During the campaign that is now
under way we shall no doubt be regal
ed with plenty OF political speeches.
There is no question at all that before
the contest il ended we shall hear all
kinds Of orators make the welkln
ring
Now despite the fact that oratory
has been brought into disrepnte by
some who essay to practice i, il isn't
crime but, on theo ther hand, It has
a legitimate place in shaping our po-
litical life. 1t is a fact, however, that
the people generally have less and
less patience with the hifalutln brand
ot oratory and are demanding that
speakers deal with facts and logic
rather than rhetoric and mere asser-
tion. In other words, they have had
enough bunc and they want the ora
tors to get down to business.
For example, it Is simple and easy
enough for an orator to stand before
an audience and eloquently declare
that he is in favor of relieving the SUI
fering taxpayer OF his burdens, but
tie people at this stage OF the game
will not be satisfied with that; they
want to hear how the reformer pro-
poses to go about 1t and they insist
upon being shown that the remedies
advocated are practical The same
thing is true with reference to every
other issue.
There was time when the orator
who, could make the eagle scream,
turning loose great chunks OF patriotic
sentiment and throwing in bunch
Of funny stories for good measure,
could get away with 1t, but the people
have become more diacriminatiye aud
they now want something more than
mere lung power and language They
may listen to the man who talks en-
tertainingly. giving him good atten-
ton and cheering when they are pleas
ed just as they do at show, but when
it is over they analyze what has been
said and the speech which produces
results must show strong percentage
Of facts, common sense and logic.

The London Law Journal reports q
novel English case before the division
al court where the plaintiff sought to
recover damages for the death Of a
pomeranian des belonging to her
which was killed by bull terrier be-
longing to the defendants daughter.
The dog was the property Of the
daughter. who was seventeen years OF
age, took out a license to keep It in
her own name. and paid for it's keep
out Of money which she earned. But
the dog lived at tho defendants house,
and II was proved that It had previous
ly bitten another Pomeranian. to the
knowledge both OF the defendant and
his daughter The county court Judge
before whom the action was first
heard, taking into consideration the
age Of the daughter, came to the con
clusion that she had the custody and
control OF the dog, and that, conse-
quently, the father, not being the own
er, owed no duty to the community in
respect Of II. The divisional court
confirmed his judgment.

PRIMARY REFORM.

No doubt the most important matter
to come UP during the present ses-
sion OF the legislature will be the
question OF the reform of the primary.
tDqually certain is it that the measure,
regardless Of what it may contain, will
be stoutly fought, not because of any
merit or demerit that it may have, but
because OF the opportunity it will af-
ford for political play. We believe
that Il majority of the voters OF
South Carolina desire primary re-
form Of some kind though we do not
believe that any considerable number
OF them will entertain the idea Of de-
priying any portion Of the white cleo
toratc of their rights in the govern
mcnt. The Advertiser does not be-
lievc in throwing around the primary
restrictions that would put the gov
crnment into the hands of the proper
ty owning classes nor even of the cdu-
Gated classes, though it believes that
the best interests OF the state
could be better served by those of
most intelligence. We can easily see
that what minority Of the best in
formed might think best may not be
just, as not representing the wish
cs of the greater number
TO gain the ends desired, that is,
guarantee to every man the full value
OF his vote, the primary organization
needs only to be systcmatizcd. Lack of
system in the past is what has caused
most trouble. The principal change to
mako the organization effective for
what is desired is to close the club
books at least thirty days before the
election. SO that rolls may be complet-
ed and compared to prevent padding.
We do not see how any fairminded
man could object to such an improve
mcnt in the conduct OF the elections.
OF course this would work a hardship
on a relatively small number Of vot-
crs who move from place to place in
seeking work. But the entire primary
system should not lie made loose and
ineffective in order to make relatively
unreasonable provisions for but a very
few people.
