tvI4AT POLITICAL PARTIES EXIST
 FOR, AND DO NOT EXIST FOR.

rTNHE PECULIAR notion continues to be en- tertained in divers Republican circles, as The Hartford Courans, and the mind of Hon. Ebenezer J. Hill, that a Progressive is Repub- Iican suffering a temporary mental hiatus. Hence come chidings, and mournfnl welcome back, and an entire failure to understand that nobody is less Republican than the man who is in the Progressive party because he cannot endure the many sins of the Republican party.
 Parties exist for the expression of political principles It IS true that for some years thls fact has been lost sight of, and the idea has pre- vailed that parties exist to get jobs for party leaders. Such ansidea could not long prove ac- eeptabIe to any except those who got the jobs, and they, not being numerous enough to create an all job party, must suffer the penalty of stu lndity-
 Between the Rorabseks and the others who are hacking the Republ lican party in Gonnecticut off the map and the Progressives there is noth- ing in common. When the Progressives do move it will be toward the Democratic party, or even toward the Socialist party.
 From the fate that has oyertaken the Re- publican party the Democratic party may learn Parties must serve the people, or they will cease to have opportunity to serve anybody. The world is too old to enthuse over the claims of rival place seekers for ernoluments that won't So round,

 PICKED SOLDIERS IN COUNTIES OF ULSTER
Government Rumored To Be Pre- pairing To Meet Force
 With Force

Londcn, March 18.-The UnionlSt
 morning papers give prominence to
 temp1ating or has perhaps already set
 on foot measures against the Ulster
 volunteer movement, which is likely
 to start trouble there. These rumors,
 which were current in the Hobbies of
 the House of Commons last night and
 apparently enanated from Belfast, in
 cIuded one to the effect that the ar
 rest of some of the Ulster leaders is
 imminent
 Another ruu1or is that a large force of Royal Irish conStabulary from other
 provinces has been secretly moved to Ulster in the last few days and that a big movement of troops is impending It is also reported that 1000 picked volunteers, all of whom are veterans Of the war in South Africa, will be mobiIized at Belfast on March 23. The Unfonists profess to see an en- dorsement of the rurnors an Q. belIicosc remark by John Redmond, the Irish leader, in speech at the St. Patrickss day banquet last night and in Vim ston Churchilrs speech at Bradford on March fl.
 MT Redmond said the proposal 1 made by Premier Asquith on March g to grant local option to Ulster coun- ties for six years on home rule was the Natfonalists last words. He add ed:

M'REYNOLDS HALTS ATTACK ON PRINTERS

New York, March 1s.-Attorney- General McReynolds. having consid- cred the evidence gathered by the Federal Grand Jury in it's investiga- ton Of the Allied Printing Trades Council of New York, has advised United States Attorney H.@ Snowden Marshall that there is only one ale gation in the complaint on which the government can proceed against the council for violation of the Sherman law.
 MT Marshall, with the approval of the attorney-Een discussed the matter yesterday with Abram I. Ed- kus, attorney for the union interests. MT. Eakus promised that he would ad- wise his clients to abandon the al- leged boycotting practice to which the department Of justice takes exception.
 If the union men take this advice there probably will be no dissolution suit. The attorney-genera1 has left future action entirely to the discre- ton of MT Marshall Tn any event the government will not proceed against the council on criminal lines.

I think that every mothers son
And every fathers daughter
Should drink at least till twenty-one
Just nothing but cold water
(Which is furnished by Silas Daggett)
And after that, they might drink
tea,
But nothing any stronger;
If all folks would agree with me,
They'd live great deal longer. i"
In conclusion, fellow students Of
this Deestrick Skule: This day we
celebrate the glorious event and
epoch of the settlement, foundation,
establishment, commencement and
beginning Of this illustrious Dee
strick Skule. When we contemplate
that great event our mortal intel
.lects are whirled away into a con-
glomeration of rotary confusions
and we are hardly able to tell
whether or not time has touched us
and rolled back his winged wheels
or simply whether we have been
taking a little Rip-Van-Winkle-
sleep and been suddenly walked in
to the electric light Of the goth CEN
tury.
Respectfully yours,

Skule Luncheon.

Edgefeld is a great town. Yves
are not so biz perhaps as some other
places, and we haven't quite a
many people, but for good cheer
and kindly spirit, there is no place
on record which can surpass heroic
and historic old Edgeield.
One of the greatest undertakings
e.of the year was tin6 staging of l he
Deestrick Skule" In the Edgefeld
opera house on Monday evening of
April 20. The largest audience as
sembled there and more money was
collected than for any other enter
tainment even given here. The au-
dience came from every direction
to see their friends on the stage,
and these played the better because
they knew there was kindly spirit
in their behalf pervading this great
ccncourse of people.
There were about thirty three
characters IN the skuie, and SO
pleasant had been the relationship
in the arrangement Cor the play
the girls felt that there must be
some tangible appreciation shown
to the better half" of the skule." ="
At the last rehearsal, til" invitations
were sent out as follows:
The girls of the Deestricl Skule
Will have a partye for the boys
On Thursday night at Thankful
Walpole's house. Big spread.
No books! No switches;
If you don't come earlye
You'll meet the Blue Witches.
s o'clock.
Accordingly at the home of Mrs.
j. L. Minis the boys and girls be-
gan to arrive early, but 10! and be.
held! they were Lot boys and girls
any longer, but had resumed their
former dignity as graciously as they
had assumed the role of little folks.
As the guests entered Miss Miriam
Norris and Mrs. Mamie n. Tillman
made the air thrill with beautiful
music. Having waited until each
guest arrived, except two or three
who had been caught by the Blue
Witches" the author of the famous
"Mhisshisshipphi," Mr.. 5. McGow-
an Simkins, brought the original ar
ticle into the parlor and presented
each one with card on which was
transcribed what this wonderful pie
contained. This happened to be the
menu for the
