CITIES
WANT TROOPS
EVERY PLACE OF IMPORTANCE
IN STATE APPLIES TO GOV
ERNOR FOR MOBILIZATION
If MILITIA GOES TO
MEXICO.

Pierre, S. D.--While there is no
movement of the state troops Cover
nor Byrne is being made ware that
there are a number of cities and citi-
zen in the state who are taking ar
interest in the situation. Practically
every town of Importance in the state
feels that it is the proper place for
the mobilization of the troops in case
ence that shows the advantages or
rights of the towns which desire to
secure the location.
Applications are also numerous
from those who desire commissions
to go with the state troops to the
front in case of call, and among
them r Il number of ministers and
physicians who are willing to give
their services as 500 as a call is
made.
Captain Linstad, of Company A
this city in an article in defense and
explanation of the situation so far as
the company and the state guard is
concerned discusses tho possibilities
of the guard in case of the need not
only of the Pierre company, but of
all, in which he says: 1.-THE company
would leave with a knowledge of ny
giene and camp sanitation, formal
attack and defense and fire central.
1t would be guided by, officers who
in the past half dozen years have at
tended encampments, maneuvers and
numerous schools of instruction and
who have acquired at least elements
OF military science. For several years
past officers have been required to
keep UP constant study and to submit
ANSWERS to examination questions
weekly by mail to the government
instructors-inspector detailed in this
state.
Something else. Under present
rulings the National Guard is used
only to repel unlawful uprisings and
resist invasions within the state and
cannot be used for offense or defense
without the state. 1t is wholly under
1.-The command of the governor. We
arc carrying a number of young men
on our rolls not qualified for service
and who would not be accepted as
volunteers. They arc, however, being
developed into marksmen and expert
riflemen and are guided in the path
of acquiring the military virtues Of
erectness, promptness, efficiency and
courtesy. Members are requir-
ed to go to war and we don't rely on
young boys for a fighting force in the
United States yet, hut the training
they are receiving gratuitously at this
time isn't doing them any harm"

weeks, no member, except the auth

quently, the time for voting on a bill

speaking to obstruct or to hasten leg

them fully enough to please the
speakers, having no ink to waste and
White paper costing like fury a pound.

There are men of action in the sen-
ate who would like to see some of the
progressive measures the house has
passed become laws, but they are as
helpless as new born babe under the
rule which allows the obstructionists
to speak forever and ever, amen.

burn, nj. d., pathologist at the State
Hospital for the Insane, was the
witness before the legislative
committee yesterday. He read a part
OF his testimony given at the now ia
nous meeting of the board Of regents
on December u, in which he made
the general charge that Eleanor b.
Saunders, M. d., the young woman
physician, had hampered him in his
work. The committee asked for u
specific instance. The witness re-
pcated his general charge. His prin-
cipal complaint was that she had talk .
en- some Of the apparatus from the
laboratory where he was to work.
DR.. Saunders made a brilliant cross
examination Of the witness. DR..
Blackburn claimed that ne was not
given square deal by Dr.. Saunders
He said that he thought he was him
dered all the time by Dr. Saunders
He paid her ability an Unconscious
tribute when he stated that from a
recent incident she seemed to be ev-
erything, including the superintend-
ent.''
Ernest M. Cooper, NJ. D., the young
physician who was displaced as path
ologist by the board Of regents, was
another witness Of the day. He told
OF his agreeing to give DR.. Saunders
lessons in the Wasserman blood test
and said that q third party was al
ways present when the demonstrations
wero given. DR.. Blackburn, he said,
told him that politics" had played a
part in the selection Of the assistants.
This statement was denied by DR..
Blackburn.

sistant physician, returned to the wit
ness stand at the session yesterday to
clear up some statements with re-
gard to the discharge Of a nurse and

Members Realize Ncarness of
Election and Slow to Vote Either
Way.

Columbia, Feb. 22.-Of questionable
greatness as Il deliberative body. the
senate Of South Carolina is beyond
the shadow of doubt one of the
most deliberate bodies IN history. It's
record for taking the longest time to
do nothing Legs comparison. Cold
molasses is an express train when
compared TO the senate
OF course, next summer there will
be an election. Everybody knows
this. Tut nobody else is taking it to
heart like certain obstructionists SEN
ators, who are such timid, shrinking
little fellows that not for worlds
would they allow any OF the progress
siFe measures which the house has
passed 20 come up in the senate. In
the FIRST place, they might have to
vote on them, which would be a great
blow to their mOdesty. In the second
place, the people might be told next
summer how they voted on them.
which would put them to the trou-
ole OF explaining. In the third
place. it is better 10 let what is be-
especially just before election.
Volumes might be written without
hall telling the shudlering abhor-
renee with which these obstructionist
senator's regard the Miley bill to.
safeguard primary elections, the
lawson Harper McCravey bill to re-
quire children between the ages of
and II years to attend school after a
majority Of the electors in any school
district vote in favor Of it, the IIar-
per bill to require the registration of
all births and deaths in South Caro-
lima, or any one OF a half dozen other
bills OF constructive nature which
the house has sent TO the senate and
which are either buried in a senate
committee or are resting in peace On
the senate calendar.
One thing is well settled in the
mind of every one who has followed
the halting progress of the South Car
olina sCnatC--it is not going TO do
anything it does not have to do in
the way of legislation, except pass the
appropriation bill and the county sup
ply bill, at this session. OF course.
the appropriation bill must become a
law, or there won't be any OF those
nice little green and blue warrants
on the State treasurer to pay the SEN
ator's board bills, etc.
II somebody had only thought of
timing the length OF the various
speeches IN the South Carolina senate
this session, and adding up the total
time. the people would have been
at the number of hours
spent in talking. Everybody knows
that in the legislature there are two
purposes TO which speech can
DC put. The first, and only cxcusahle
one, OF these is TO explain Il bill. The
second, and very rcprehensible one.
OF these is to kill time on one bill
to prevent some other bill from COM
ing up. Unfortunately for progressive
legislation, the senate has not adopt-
