Trouble has been brewing for many
months over executive session secrecy
and an upheaval was threatened re-
Gently during debate on the general ar
bitration treaty with Great Britain. In
mat debate Senate. iUr-
man engaged in wordy controversy
over the purposes of the Carnegie En-
dowment for international Peace. What
the senators said on this point was
widely published and in a subsequent
executive session a resolution was in
troduced by Senator Kern, the majori-
ty leader, directing an inquiry by the
foreign relations committee into the
manner in which information regard
ing secret proceedings are made pub
lie. 1t was referred to the rules COM
mittee where it since has reposed, no
action having been taken. Ever since
that resolution was submitted there
has been a suppressed undercurrent OF
feeling against secret proceedings
Confirmation Of Mr.. Daniels was fol-
lowed today by the revelation that Mr..
Daniels asked President Wilson to
withdraw his name, and thus stop the
contest which he believed to be en-
barrassing to the president, and that
Mr.. Wilson refused. The sharp contest
was regarded by officials as Of import
ance in revealing the attitude OF sena-
tors toward the physical valuation OF
railroads.

Opinion Of Expert Warehcusentan.-
T. B. Stackhouse Of Columbia, presi-
dent Of the Standard Warehouse COM
pany, has prepared the following for
the Manufacturers Record:
THE Standard Warehouse company
Of this city was organized in 1905, with
a paid-in capital stock Of $347, 800 and
warehouses for the storage Of cotton
at Columbia, Greenville, Anderson.
Greenwood, Newberry and Orangeburg,
all Of South Carolina.
THE company has warehoused more
than 100, 900 bales Of cotton each year,
issuing the owner it's receipts, which Is
acceptable as collateral by banks in all
Of the money centres Of this country at
the very lowest prevailing rates OF in
terest
In the handling Of about 100000
bales of cotton there has not been
single loss Of cotton, or Of money ad-
vanced against the cotton. The banks
located in the cotton states have not
been able to finance any considerable
portion OF the cotton crop and at the
same time finance the growing Of an
other crop, and thus enable the farmer
to distribute the sale Of his cotton
throughout the year, instead Of forcing
it on the market in about three months
as was done a few years ago.
by storing the cotton with a strong
warehouse company the grower. buyer
and manufacturer are enabled to fl
nance it with banks in all Of the
money centres, thus securing the best
interest rate, which relieves the local
banks and enables them to furnish the
money necessary to grow another crop,
THE general adoption of such q
warehousing plan by the cotton pro-
ducing states would, in any opinion.
result in the grower securing better
prices for his cotton and in insuring a
more stable price, thus helping the
buyer and manufacturer, as well as
the grower"

Congressman Lever disregarded the
Democratic platform pledge in his
vote on the lumber tariff three years
ago, and a strong effort was made by
the opposition in his district to defeat
him on that ground. He was able to
make it clear to his constituents how
ever, that he was regarding their in
terests above Democratic platform
planks, and they reelected him. In
his vote on the Panama canal tolls
question Mr.. Lever disregarded the
Democratic platform pledge again;
but we are not looking for another
fight on him from the same source OF
three years ago and on the same
ground, for the influences that fought
him three years ago. are now with the
president, regardless Of platform
pledges. We do not want to be under
stood as disregarding platform pledges
or of sanctioning such disregard on
general principles; but as we have
already explained, it frequently hap
pens that undemocratic pledges are
sneaked into the Democratic plat
form, and in a case like this, we con-
slider that it is the duty of the repre-
sentative to use his judgment.

Monday In May, as usual; but certifi-
Gates issued on that day will not en-
There are provisions in the registra-
tion in Yorkville.
At least according to the attorney
general it is the lawful duty Of the
board to do so, and the York board
stands ready to do it's lawful duty.
There is provision in the registra-
ton law which requires the books to be
open at the county seat on the first
Monday in each month. and that the
books be closed thirty days before a
general or special election.
II was these provisions which puz-
zled the board. The act under which
the commission form of government
election is 10 be held in Rock Hill has
the usual provision about the closing
of the books thirty days before the
election, and as the election takes
place within less than thirty days af-
ter the first Monday in May. the board
thought the, books should be closed on
that day.
But the board is mistaken. The En-
quirer has communicated with the at
torney generals Office in regard to the
matter, and has clear and explicit
ruling from Assistant Attorney General
Dominick in regard to the matter. 1t
is not a special and particular ruling.
Mr.. Dominick has merely sent a copy
of the attorney generals report for
1913, and calls attention to the fact
that the whole question Is fully set
forth on pages 41-44 Of that report.
The matter at issue is fully covered
in reply to inquiries from the chairman
Of the Spartanburg board Of registra-
ton, in this paragraph:
"As to your third question, voters
can be registered on the first Monday
in July, 1913, and it is the duty of the
board to open the books on that day,
as provided by law: but no person
registered on that day will be qualified
to vote in the special election which is
ordered for July 29th, that date being
within thirty days after the registra-
tion."
From this it would seem that al
though the county books will be open
in Yorkville on the first Monday in
May as usual, it will be Of no use to
people who desire to vote in Yorkville's
approaching municipal election unless
the date Of the election should be fixed
thirty days after the first Monday in
May.

Some few months ago there was in
troduced in congress bill to withdraw
all government owned Indian lands
from private entry. The idea was that
since the great value of radium bear
ings lands to the human race is being
so widely demonstrated, it will be the
proper thing to take steps looking to
government ownership. The bill has
hung fire by reason Of opposition, and
in the meantime all the known gov
ernment owned radium lands. most OF
them being located in Colorado and ad-
joining states, have been gobbled UP
by private interests.

That order just issued by Secretary
Daniels ruling intoxicating liquors of
naval vessels and out of the navy
yards is exactly the right thing. In
the old days the issuance of grog was
a part of the regular allowance on
war vessels, and the custom was to
fill everybody who would drink with
whisky before a fight. Some years
ago the American navy passed strin-
gent rules against the introduction OF
liquor on shipboard by sailors; but
continued to leave officers the privi-
lege of having all the liquor they
might want, leaving the matter to the
moderation of the officers themselves.
1t has been demonstrated long since
that a rum crazed sailor is not the
equal of the sober fighting man, and
time and again the United States navy
has suffered terrific loss because of
the irresponsible ineffectiveness of in
toxicated officers. The new regulation
cannot but be for the good of the navy
and the moral effect Of this regulation
will be good throughout the country.

Scattering returns from the Ala
bama primaries yesterday, give Un-
derwood the lead over Hobson for
the senatorial nomination; but since
the returns are very incomplete and
the presumption is that Hobson's
strength is in the remote rural dis
tricts rather than in the cities and
towns that have the best facilities for
and reporting the returns,
it is best not to jump at conclusions.

The objection to Senator McLaurin
some years ago was not that he bolted
the Democratic platform; but that he
refused to follow the lead Of Senator
James X. Jones of Arkansas against
his judgment. The Democrats were
trying to prevent the ratification Of
the treaty with Spain for no other pur-
pose than TO embarrass the Republican
party, and Senator McLaurin saw prop
er to put his conception of the best in
terests of the American people above
the little matter Of a fieeting party ad-
vantage. There was no platform pledge
involved. Among the Democrats who
voted with Senator McLaurin on that
occasion was Senator Morgan of Ala
bama, the father Of the Panama canal.
and among the Democrats who censur-
ed Senator McLaurin on that occasion
are many who have since realized that
he was altogether and entirely right.

Some people who do not under

idea that the congressman who voted
against the president on the tolls
question, voted with the Republi-
cans That is not correct. Many
Republicans voted with the president
on that issue. and there is absolutely
no question of the fact that the DEM
ocratic platform declares for free
tolls. AS to whether the Democrats
who voted to repeal the free tolls pro-
vision of the Panama canal act did so
because of their campaign pledges, is
left for the voters to decide for them
selves; but it is nothing but absolute
fairness to say that the Democratic
platform declares for free tolls for
American ships, and the presidents
position is in opposition to the plat
form.
