his twenty.fourth year as editor and
proprietor Of the Greenville Demo,

is that far advanced In years. His
hair still retains its original color. His
pen has the same vigor and his paper
improves with age. Here's hoping that
he may live to WELD the pen for an.
other twenty.four years. He has seen
many advances made in the progress
Of the Delta and in the State. May
even greater progress be made in the
ages to come, and may he WELD even
greater influence in his town, county,
and State.--Leland Enterprise.

The desire Of shipping interests for
government Substitution is at the bot.
tom of the canal tolls dispute. Having
failed during the past half century to
get any direct help, they sought this
means for rclIrf, and used the fact Of
a declining merchant marine as the
chief argument TO bolster up THEN
claim.
No matter which side Of the question
Of ship subsidies one may take, tn,
method of Offering it by canal toll ex,
cmption is wrong.
If it is right and cxpcdient to subsi
die the American merchant marine.
then, Of course, the canal toll exemp.
ton is wrong on general principles.
In either case the act works an inius.
tice and is unfair. At best it was Il
%sncaking method by which to gain
benefit for a monopoly, for manifestly
very few of the smaller craft engaged
in coastwise trade would ever pass
through the canal.
Another thing-the merchant ma.
rinP Of this country is not weak in

vj"usiy, if it were desirable to help the

would have to be directed toward the
benefit of shipping interests engaged in
foreign trade, which is directly the re.
verse Of what the canal toll exemption
act proposed to do.
II sustained, this act could not possi.
bly, benefit the merchant marine as a
whole, but only that portion of it which
is engaged in the coastwise trade, and
only the small percentage of this por,
ton which would pass through the
Panama Canal.
From every angle the act is wrong
in principle, wrong in effect and
wrong in motive.

TAINTED MONEY.

There are people in this world who
shrug their shoulders and comment in
tones of scorn about tainted money. Be
cause one of their fellow workers in the
world : vineyard has been more fortu-
nate, has accumulated wealth, has won
the title of financial king, is no reason
WHY he should be condemned, says an
exchange. He may be envied, for it is
the ruling characteristic of the unfortu-
nate to be ~cnyious Of those who have
succeeded.
This question Of tainted money
| should be scnsibly understood and APP
preciated. 1t is an improper title given
the earnings Of deserving men. Radi-
cal means may have at times been en-
ployed, and some may have their own
opinion of the business methods used,
but when we consider the vast good be-
ing accomplished by the two great men
who control this money, or a large part
Of it, we should be more ~lenient in our
views.
Last week a modest announcement
vas made by the Rockefeller Institute
Of Medical Research that a serum had
been discovered for the prevention and
cure of pneumonia.
Here is an institute supported by the
millions of a financial king, millions de-
voted to the steady research of means
for preventing and curing disease.
At this institute the best and bright
est men Of science devote the days and
nights to study, just as the study of
cancer and tuberculosis is being pushed.
Here is another instance of, how
science is slowly but surely succeeding
in its fight with disease.
There was a time when smallpox and
yellow fever, when malaria and typhoid
were dreaded contagious. Today they
can be successfully controlled.
The anti-pneumonia serum is no ex.
pertinent. 1t is an assured and tested
fact. At the Rockefeller Institute of
Medical Research, when a discovery is
made it is never announced to the world
until it has been thoroughly tested. 1t
is said that the serum was discovered
almost a year ago, but it has been con
t'nually tested, 80 that there could be
no possible doubt as to its efficiency be.
fore public announcement was made.
Here is another instance where a rich
man millions, his ~''tainted money"
has resulted in a discovery which will
no doubt save thousands of lives each
year. One by one the dreaded diseases
of man are being conquered. The cru.
SADIE could never continue but for the
endowments of men like Rockefeller.

Cecil county is exempted from the pro-
visions of the law which requires all
new corners into the State to file with
clerks of courts declarations of their
intention to remain in the State, these
declarations to be filed IL months in
advance of registration. The law was
passed about II years ago and has
proved to be a hardship. Several bills
have been introduced during the pres
ent session to give magistrates power
to accept declarations of citizens that
they intend to remain citizens of the
State. The object of these bills is to
save new Corners the time and expense
involved in visits to county seats and

SAYSU. S. SHOULD
HAVE MONOPOLY
Government Ownership Of TeIe-
graph and Telephone Urged.
BURLESON SUBMITS REPORT.
Recommendation Of the Committee
Summed Up In Three Suggestions,
Which Would Declare For a
Governmental Monopoly.

Washington. - Postmaster General
Burleson submitted to the Senate the
recommendations of the departmental
committee appointed by him to investi.
gate the practicability of government
ownership of telephone and telegraph
lines.
The report declared that the only
way to afford to the people the com
plete and modern postal facilities that
the Constitution makes it the duty of
the government to provide" is by carry
ing out these suggestions:
"First-That Congress declare gov
eminent monopoly over all telegraph,
telephone and radio communication
and such other means for the trans
mission of intelligence as may here
after develop.
"Second-That Congress acquire by
purchase at appraised value the COM
mercial telephone network except the
farmer lines.
"Third-That Congress authorize the
Postmaster General to issue, in his dis
erection and under such regulations as
he may prescribe revocable licenses
for the operation by private indi-
viduaIs, associations, companies and
corporations of the telegraph service
and such parts of the telephone serv-
ice as may not be acquired by the gov
eminent"
The recommendation are signed by
Daniel c. Roper, first assistant post
master general; Merritt o. Chance,
chief clerk, Postoffice Department, and
John c. Rooms, superintendent divi-
sion Of salaries and allowances, COM
posing the committee. They were &C
companied by statistical information
collected after one of the most ex-
haustive Investigations undertaken by
the Postofice Department
Situation In Europe.
The report states that the United
States is "alone of the leading nations
which has left to private enterprise
the ownership and operation of the
telegraph and telephone facilities" and
that practically all of the economists
who have treated the subject are
agreed that telegraph and telephone
facilities should be controlled by the
government.

Auto For the Governor.

A bill introduced in the House by
Speaker Trippe carries an appropria-
ton of $4,000 with which TO purchase
and operate an automobile for use of
the Governor of the State. OF this sum
$4,000 is for the purchase of the ma
chine and its operation during the cur
rent year For it's operation next year
$4,000 is provided In the proposed
operating expenses is included the hire
of chauffeur. The best sentiment in
the legislature, as well as the State, is
favorable to the bill on the theory
that government is aided by close and
frequent contact between the chief
executive of the State and its people.
AS only limited number of the peo-
pie of the State can come in contact
with the governor it is deemed highly
desirable and as conducive TO good
government that the governor shall
meet the people. 1t is recognized that
an automobile will be the best means
of bringing the governor and the peo-
pie into closer relations.

20 Minutes Too Short To Save All.
But the time was too short for all
to get off, and some had been either
killed or manned as they lay in their
berths on the side of the ship that had
been rammed.
Others became confused and could
not reach the deck, where boats were
being cast off, and still more are sup
