EXIT COLE sLEAsE

South Carolina, long dlSgraced
by Cole Blease, has at last spewed
out the blatherskite. In the prim-
airy election there last week
Blease was defeated for the DEM
ocratic senatorial nomination
equivalent to election) by Sena-
tor Ellison ID. Smith.
With Blease's downfall it is to
be hoped the species of demagog-
uery of which he was the climax
is dead beyond hope Of resurrec-
ton. All the best forces of the
state were arrayed against him,
their battle cry being: "Bleaseism
must be destroyed"
The abhorrent doctrines which
this governor preached and prac-
ticed were exemplified by his par
doning more than 1900 convicted
criminals in four years of office,
his public advocacy and endorse
ment of lynching. his denuncia-
tions of the negro race as "apes
and balloons, who can be dealt
only with little gunpowder and
buckshOt." and his exclamation at
the Governors conference at
Richmond. Va, three years ago,
''To h-ll with the Constitution. F"
1t is significant of the condi-
tions in South Carolina that pro-
duced such a man and gave him
vast power. that compulsory edu-
cation was one of the issues sup
ported by the anti-Blease side.
Only in minds dwelling in dark
ness could the Blease doctrines
ever be tolerated. Thank heaven
South Carolina has at least seen
the light.

The Harvester Trust. which the
United States court at St. Paul
has recently adjudged a combina-
ton in restraint Of trade, is the
same Harvester Trust that exist
ed during Mr.. Roosevelt's admin
istration. The evidence upon
which the Government secured
this judgment is the same evil
dence that was in the pos
session of the department
of justice during Mr.. Roosevelt's
administration. But in the year
of our Lord 1914 there was no
order from the White House
blocking prosecution in order to
save the embarrassing of friend
Perkins. Hence, the Harvester
Trust is now in fair way for dis
solution.

the EUROPEAN WAR

In spite of the strict censor
ship of all war news in Europe
enough has leaked through to dis
close the fact that while the Rus
slams have been advancing toward
Berlin the Germans are also
slowly but surely advancing to-
ward Paris. The French and Eng
lish allies are constantly falling
back toward the French capital,
being forced to do so by the over
towering numbers, and perhaps
the superior generalship of the
Germans.
Much in the same way that
General Sherman's army drove
back the Confederates upon Al
lanta in 1864 the Germans are
steadily driving back the allies
upon Paris. They have the same
superior numbers, and that en-
ables them to perform similar
series of thanking movements,
with occasional sharp conflicts in
which the larger army is usually
victorious.
The mistake the allies have
made was caused by their under
estimating the strength of their
opponents. The German army has
largely outnumbered that of the
allies in their front, because they
have almost their entire military
strength in the field. while the
English soldiers in France num-
Der less than 100000 men, all
told. The French have many more
than that, but not enough to keep
the Germans from finally reach
ing Paris, even though a consid-
cradle part of their army be
transferred to Prussia to oppose
the advance of the Russians.
The English are now making

code. If this result should be &C
complished it would make the
possibility of ever reaching ship
subsidy as a government policy
very remote.
So the present cue of the sub
sidy seekers is to throw every
possible obstacle in the road of
the Administration in its efforts
to revive the merchant marine
without bounty payments.
But the people will not fail to
see the animus of such efforts and
to repel them by earnest support
of the Administration plans for
an unsubsidized merchant ma
rine.

along our northern boundary are
the Great Lakes. connected with
the Atlantic ocean by canals and
the St. Lawrence river, and on the
south is the Gulf of Mexico and
the Panama canal connecting the
two great oceans.
No other country in the world is
SO favorably situated for COM
MERGE with all the world and a
great and profitable merchant
marine. 1t has been little less than
criminal to have been without
one as long as we have.

The ship subsidyists, like the
poor, we always have with us. Not
even in the present crisis in our
commercial interests can they
forget their hunger for treasury
pap. They are frightened almost
to death lest q real live American

up by liberalizing the navigation

MANY EXPERTS PRESENT

Blind men running races, racing or
multicycles built for twelve, taking part
in gymnastic exercises and marching and
building pyramids. all will be shown in
motion pictures at the first conference
ever held in this city by workers Tor the
blind. which will begin this evening in
the Public Library.
The films were made in England and
have astounded audiences the world over.
They will be shown here to illustrate a
talk by Charles F. r. Campbell. They
will demonstrate that the sightless can
be taught to do almost anything that
people with two perfectly good eyes can.
Lantern slides will be shown t. illus
trate how easy it is for one to strain
ones eyes to the point OF blindness, and
at the same time how to prevent the
affection. Mr.. Campbell has Iectured in
many States OF the Union in behalf of
the blind and his talks everywhere have
been pronounced instructive to those who
would take best care Of their sight
Gore to Preside.
Senator Gore, the blind statesman from
Oklahoma. will preside at the confer
enc". and the blind will have thci- first
opportunity to hear one who. despite
pressing national affairs that demand his
attention, is anxious to do what he can
TO cheer up those suffering from he same
affllctIon as himself. Many interesting
men and their talks will make the con-
ference one long to be remembered. The
sessions will be open to the public.
King Edward VII was so impressed
blind Of Great Britain that he knighted
him. This blind man began life in a
log cabin in Tennessee and founded a
school for the blind in England lie is
considered leader in the work
o. II. Burritt. superintendent OF the
Pennsylvania Institution for the Blind,

Want One system.
DIR. c. F. Fraser. who has come from
Nova Scotia. is a remarkable blind man.
For the past forty-One years he has car
Tied on a school for the blind in Halifax.
which is recognized as one OF the osss
institutions of its kind in the world. Or.
Fraser is not only an expert in work
for the blind. but he has been most sue
cessful in business undertakings.
II. Randolph Latimer. who is also
scheduled TO speak. will give an account
of the efforts which are being made TO
the system OF reading Id
writing for the blind. At present there
are on this continent three systems by
which the blind can read with their fin
gers
Some of the leading business men OF
the country are taking an active interest
in this matter. and are helping to raise
funds for standardization. VI. c. Nigel
OF New York. who has been serving as
chairman OF the Embarrassing committee e,
will tell of success along that line.

BRAKEMAN HAS NOT RESIGNED.

Herman c. Rakemann. concert master
OF the Washington symphony Orchestra.
has corrected the false report that he had
resigned as director of that orchestra.
Mr.. Rakeman believes the idea grew out
of the fact that. owing TO his inability
TO attend the rehearsals for Tuesdays
concert. he did not conduct it. and the
patrons gathered that ne had left the
orchestra
