j. P. PORTER WRITES HOME

John P. Porter, one of the early
residents of this locality, but now OF
Little Rock, California, writes back
to say he is enjoying the study of the
tax question in the Republican. He
is pleased with our method of pre-
senting it, and says that it is doing a
good public service and that indi.
viduals who may feel annoyed about
it, should take it in good part and be
thankful that it is presented in Sc
fair spirit, and free from personal.
tiles or malice.
Mr.. Porter was greatly surprised
and disturbed a few weeks ago Oh
learning that certain elements of the
community had been trying year
to crush the editor" and said he
did not see how fellow working un.
der such a strain for so long could
keep sweet and keep on telling them
the news and keep writing up the
bad conditions of county government
without "boiling over and roasting
somebody"

But there is provision for scru-

feared that we have a number of Sec

sort of thing. But let every voter re-
member that if his name gets on the
club roll in any other way except by
his own personal signature of full
name or mark, he can not legally
vote, and he commits a crime in Of
fering to vote.
"Secretaries who try to be oblig-
ing by taking care of their friends in
disregard of the rules, will be liable
to criminal prosecution, and their en-
tire club lists may be thrown out.
IF the signature is not plainly leg
ible, the secretary or other enrolling
officer should rewrite the name just
beneath the signature. Many sigma
lures are illegible to stranger-and
some signatures are practically hero

ELECTROCUTED IN SAILBOAT.
Tragedy Occurs When Craft Drifts
Against Pole.

Charleston. June S.-George Jo-
seph. a laborer, who is also known as
"Josey," was electrocuted yesterday
afternoon between ) and 6 O'Clock
while aboard a sloop in the Cooper
River as the result of coming in con-
tact with the heavily charged cable
of the Charleston Isle of Palms Trac-
ton Company. Death was instart,
but dilligent efforts were made to
resuscitate the unfortunate man.
Coroner Mansfield investigated the
case and was satisfied that Joseph S
death was accidental and that he was
electrocuted by coming in contact
with the cable.
There was another man and t"o
women in the boat at the time OF the
accident. One of the women was
sister to Joseph. The trio will be
called upon this morning to testify
at the official inquest.
From what could be learned yes
terday Joseph and three others were
enjoying an outing in the smack
Little Rebecca' Tide was high
and the boat foated nearer the shore
than is usually the case. In passing
the Consolidated Company's power
house, which supplies the current for
cables, the sloop moved to the inside
of two poles on which rests the cable
that enters from the power house.
The sloop ran against one of the
poles, it is said, and Joseph got up
and walked toward the pole to push
the boat away. The guy wire of the
the sloop, running from the mast to
the side of the boat, struck the cable.
AS Joseph is said to have touched
the pole upon which the cable rested
his body was seen to jerk, and ne
fell back. On investigation he was
found dead.
By the presence of mind of the
others, however, in not touching the
body or anything about the boat un-
til it had moved away from both
poles and cable, by the current OF
water, no one else was hurt.
The sloop was docked at the foot
of Calhoun street and physician
called. The pulmotor of the Consoll-
dated Company was also brought into
use. but was of no assistance as Jo-
seph had been killed outright.
The news of the accident spread
rapidly and hundreds of people gath
cred about the landing place OF the
sloop to see the man. They were
dispersed by policemen. The body
was then removed to the Roper Hos
pital, where further fruitless efforts
we're made to resuscitate it.

IS A WONDERFUL ROAD.
That From Vera Cruz to Mexico City
Was Built by COrtez.

The good roads movement was be-
gun in Mexico by the Conqulstator
Cortez. He and his followers and the
Indians he impressed into his service
built the bowler-paved highway that
is crossed and recrossed by the mod
ern railways and connecting vera
Cruz and the capital city. SO well
did they build that long sections OF
this road have always since been
traversable and during the stage
coach era it was kept in excellent
condition. Travel in those days be-
gan with daylight and ended with
dusk, for there were brigands abroad
then as well as now. Fifteen years
ago a remarkable trip was made from
the city of Pueblo in an automobile
over this paved way with very little
trouble. Here and there the noun
tain torrents have washed out por-
tions but so we'll was the route chos-
en- that many miles of practically un-
disturbed paving exists, with straight
and plum retaining wall. Of course
these famous Spanish mansions had
the advantage of Indian trails that
had been used for centuries before.
Narrow winding paths they were,
tacking in and out of the little can
yons, but always climbing higher in
the great gorge that led up between
the mountains of the range that had
to be crossed after leaving the low,
hot country and before entering the
high-hung valley of Mexico.
In recent years, in response to the
worldwide demand for good roads
for automobiles, parts Of this and 9TH
er old Spanish roads in Mexico have
been rebuilt according to the most
approved modern methods, but the
traveller to-day may look out of his
Pullman window and see little bands
of laden burros being driven by In
dians vending their way along the
Cortez road, the same broad high
way that has borne the traffic of cen
turies. The Cortez road is twice as
wide as the famous Appian way of
Rome, and as we'll constructed as the
old Roman roads of England. Indeed,
is has been said that the Spanish
should be called the pioneer road
builder of America, as the Roman is
of Europe.
Many of the Mexican Indians still
look with fear and suspicion upon
railroad travel and many cannot af-
ford to pay the price of journey
ever so short so they traverse many
miles barefooted over the mountain
trails that lead into the Cortez road
and the railroad that has now out
rivaled it. The writer once saw a
caravan of Indians descending steep
mountain path, each carrying upon
his back mahogany railroad tie,
which he would sell to the Mexican
railway for the munificent sum of
six cents. But even those portions
of the railroad that were laid upon
solid mahogany will be worn to dust,
while the old Cortez road, paved
with torrent washed cobbles, will en-
dure, perhaps, another 400 years.

The administrative system adopted in Canada is SC simple and APP

age. Before the courts will take any action in Canada a complaint
must be filed in the form of an affidavit signed by six people. This
shuts out al. the backmaing schemes which have been SO common in
this country, emanatng from both public and private sources.
The next step in Canada is for the court to appoint a special com.
mission to investigate the case. One member of this commission is
nominated by the compliments and one by the defendants, and these
two agree upon the third. The commission goes into all the facts in
the case and makes a full report to the court This system gets quick
action without any fuss or expensive litigation. 1t is not necessary for
the Canadian government to spend a million dollars prosecuting ore
corporation, and have the case drag through the courts for five years.
The court and the commission, after investigating a case, decide what
is fair and reasonable and the matter is settled.
The Canadian plan is effective because it is not based upon the
assumption that the business man is a criminal who must be held in awe
by the majesty of the law Business affairs have a thousand intricate
details and phases which cannot be sihed or sorted in a criminal statute.
A commission, if the doors are not closed against it by the fear Of
criminal prosecution, can get down into the facts in each case and have

Foreign Trust Regulation

There is much interest in business circles throughout the United
States in President Wilson's trust legislation program-so much, in
fact, that petitions have been going to Washington from all over the
country asking congress o adjourn as an antidote for the psychological
depression" that now prevails. Whether as a sop to the business inter
ess OF the country, o for his own information, the president is now
holding conferences with representative business men and fnanciers.
Naturally the condition that confronts the people at present is causing
considerable discussion, one way or another. In Chicago X. |. Audrey
is the editor of Made in the I. S. A." In view of the presidents
avowed intention to force congress to enact more socaned antitrust
legislation, Editor Audrey has Just issued the following statement:
Canada and Australia are the only important foreign countries in
which ANTITRUST laws have been adopted, along the lines of our Sher-
man law of 1890. In England the subject has been ignored by parla-
ment. There is no law to prevent the merger or consolidation of prop
critics in one company, or even to prevent competitors from meeting and
agreeing upon prices or output, unless they go 81 far as to bring them
selves under the ban of the old common law.
The governments of Continental Europe go to extremes that would
not be tolerated in any English country in many of their regulations Of
the affairs of the people, but they have no laws to regulate consolida-
tons. Germany is very aggressive in encouraging syndicates, cartels
or associations of manufacturers, if they can make any showing that
they promote the interests of the empire or its foreign trade. A little
of this German policy an be found in all the Continental countries.
Their governments, on the whole, are a eager to build up industries as
our western people were to get railroads built a few years ago.
In Canada and the new Commonwealth of Australia laws have been
qualification. The Canadian law, for example, prohibits any undue
tain these words, but or supreme court, in the most important merger
cases n which it has passed, has held that the law only applies to undue
or unreasonable corporate restraint.
The Australian law for the Repression of Monopoies" prohibits

The Mission of Woman

Condemning the so-caned feminine movement because it not only
pushes woman forward into the vocatons and activities of men, but
encourages them to initiate their voices and manners, and cannot fail to
have a deeterious effect upon the public welfare" Dr. Frank c.
Richardson Of the Boston university, speaking at Atlantic City before
the American Institute of Homeopathy, declared the hope of America
lies in a renaissance of home life and the awakening of woman to the
grandeur of her mission as a mother"
DR.. Richardson advocated a repressive movement ito protect men
from the wichery of modern fashions in dress" which, he asserted
profane GU civilization and are al indecent assault on commons sense
Legislation prohibiting this rivalry to see how far the female
form can be publicly disclosed without infringing the law against in
decent exposure he said, would go further toward social defense
than any penal code that possibly could be drafted. Modern Dances
the speaker said, constitute a social ulcer, which is a serious menace to
morality and a potent factor in the production of crime"

Petroleum Division

The creation of a petroleum division of the United States bureau
of mines is in some ways the most important move made by the gov
eminent in its relation to petroleum production in many months, says
Mining and Scientific Press. The new division is to have charge of all
technologic work connected with oil on the public and Indian lands. AS
owner of large areas in the midst of productive fields, and of even larger
tracts of potential oil land, the government has a direct interest in Sc
curing the most economical development and the maximum yield. Waste
of gas and flooding of oil sands is as serious when on public as on
private land. In Oklahoma, too, the secretary of interior, as guardian
for the Indians has heavy responsibilities in connection with actual pro-
duction of gas and oil, and if oil is to be produced from public lands
by lease or otherwise for the navy, to say nothing of proposals that the
government should build pipelines, there is every reason why the de-

Pressing the Limit

The governor of the great and rich state of Massachusetts has
appealed to the president to secure a n appropriation of 100000 for the
Salem fire sufferers and he has sent appeals to the governors of all the
states and the mayors of the large cities of the country asking for
81 100000
The governor of Massachusetts, has been told by his attorney gen.
|eral that the legislature of the bay state can't appropriate money for
such purpose. The American people are quick to respond to a call for
financial aid in the presence of a great calamity, but it would appear
that the governor of Massachusetts, is pressing the limit by sending his ap-
peals broadcast over the country, when his state is fully able to cope
with the situation.
