A DIscoRDANr NOTE FROM TEXAS

Governor Colquitt of Texas in
The New York American reads
the riot act to the Wilson admin
istration.. He charges it with
being a failure, excorlates
it from start to finish, and de
clares the administration
has weakly submitted to England
and betrayed the cotton growing
states; it's foreign policy is
imbecile, and that the repeal of
the Panama tolls exemption law
was in violation of the party's
national platform, and a weak
surrender to England. He crit
icizes Wilson's Mexican policy,
and charges it with being re-
sponsible for failing to protect
American interests in that coun-
try. The Texas governor says
ssThe administration valorized
twenty billion dollars worth Of
corporate securities owned in
the north and east by a Treas
ury Department order to national
banks to loan money on listed
securities, but the same admin
istration when asked to allow
the people to use quarter of a
billion dollars of their collective
credit for two or three years to
save them from losing five hun
dred million dollars on their
cottou crop, was regarded valor-
ization and violative of sound
government.
Governor Colqultt predicts the
national election Of 1916 will
end the Democratic regime. The
policies of the party in npower he
say'has failed to curb monopolies
or lower the cost of living for the
people, and it has materially
contributed to deprive millions
of wage earners of employment.
He says the President stood in
the road and condemned the
south that made him, to heavier
loss and more widespread misery
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1914-12-30

than it has had in three gener-
ations. He has vindicated an obso-
lete theory Of political economy,
but he mighty near ruined the
country doing it.
This arraignment coming as it
does from a southern governor
will be received by the opposi-
tion as a sweet morsel, it
will be used as a campaign docu-
ment in the campaign of 1916.
Just what answer will be made
to the indictment of the gov
ernor of the Lone State State
remains to be seen, but there is
this much certain, the charges
made cannot be indifferently re.
ceived, as it puts the admins
tration on the defensive.
Not alone is there detection in
Texas but throughout the coun-
try there is feeling of dlscon
tent, because of the failure OF
the tariff bringing to the masses
the relief promised. The cost
OF living has not been reduced,
and the industries which afford:
ed employment for the millions
have in many instances shut
down or reduced wages. When
ever the dinner pail becomes
empty the laooring element is
ready to accept the theories of
those who lay the blame on the
party in power, and unless this
administration can show it is not
responsible for the depression
now prevailing, it will have to
defend itself against the on
slaughts of the opposition. And
if there are many Colquitts in
the south, there may he break
in the political solidity of this
section.
The south is Democratic main
ly because of it's environment,
but if that party does nothing to
help sustain its civilization
and industries, the chains
now binding it will be
come unfettered and a spirit of
political independence will break
out; with leaders of ability and
nerve there is no telling the re-
suit of such teachings as are now
being promulgated by men of
the Colouitt type, especially at
a time when the people have
been expecting their conditions
to be bettered blythe party of their
choice, but so far have been un-
able to realize their hopes,

reason.
The. measure most frequently
) urged at this time is q medical

must get pay out OF the school

ferce of opinion. There is no
question about the good of hav.

be made practical it Will bring

the only thing we fear is the
lack Of means to put such a law
into practical operation. There

poses? It must be remembered
Z
the average school districts are
now without sufficient means to
run full term of nine months
Notwithstanding the fact that
the taxpayers have voted upon
themselves special taxes for
school purposes. It is all very
well to demand these improve
ments but it is also very we'll to
consider the cost, but when the
people demand progressive leg
islation they must not complain
if the taxes are increased to
meet these demands.
We can see how compulsory
attendance can be made effective
in the towns and thickly settled
communities, but how it can be
enforced in the remote sections
wherei it is sparcely settled, with
out eating up the school fund in
expense, is a! problem which
must be solved. Ia ke a case
where children are living sever
al miles from a school house,
there will have to be means pro-
vided to convey them back aid
forth, and if this means is not
provided how can the law be en-
forced, and, if provided, the ex-
penses must come out Of the
already inadequate school fund.
Those who advocate these pro-
gressive measures are prompted
by the best of motives, but they
do not seem to look any farther
than their immediate surround
ings. most Of these advocates
live IN towns or communities
where the necessary funds are
obtainabie without much discom-
fort, but when they go out into
communities not so fortunately
situated conditions are different,
and other conditions must be
given thought.

ment. OF the trouble usually found
with children, and the most that
the inspecting physician could
do wouid be to tell the parent Of
the child, that in his opinion, it
was suffering from a defective
.eyesight, nose or throat trouble
or something else, and advise
that it be treated by specialist.
,It would be very much like the
case of a merchant who went to
a snide lawyer for advice, the
lawyer after a pretence of think
ing advised him to go to another
lawyer. which he die, ,and secur-
ed the information and advice
he was seeking, but to his surprise
several monts later he received a
bill from the first lawyer, when
he asked him to explain he was
told the bill was for advising
him where be could get the in
formation he was seeking, so it
will be with the school medical
inspection; the inspection officer
will advise where the child can
be treated and the parents will
have to pay the bill, and the
school fund will have to supply
the pay for the officer, perhaps
a man who has a diploma butthe
people have no confdencein his
ability Or skill, or he may be

They talk of having doctors
to inspect school children, as il
the parents are not to be con-
suited, but whether they will OF
will not, their children must un'
dergo an inspection by a doctor
not of their choosing, but one
appointed by the powers that
be. In our judgment, such a
measure is impractical in the
rural schools; it may work in
the public schools of large
cities, but it cannot be a success

will do more to destroy ou,

put into operation in small com
munities, the people will see that
it is a fraud with no practica

THE GOVERNMENT CAN, But WILL ROT

THE GOVERNMENT CAN, But WILL ROT
HELP.
The war situation grows
worse every day, and the indi.
cations are that peace will not
be declared for a long time to
come. It was our opinion from
the beginning that the United
States could be an influential
factor towards terminating the
war, and we believe yet, the gov
ernment will have to take dras-
tic action by congress adopting
legislation that will prohibit the
shipment of foodstuffs, horses
| and war material from this
country to the belligerent ma.
tions at war. If congress adopts
such legislation their food supply
will be cut off and the effect will
be immediate, but as long as
munitions of war are furnished
from this country the conflict
will continue, and the south will
continue depressed.
Congress is made up of poll
ticians who fear the loss of pres
tige, if they take any action which
will cut off the shipment of grain
and horses from the west that
section will harbor resentment
against the party in power; the
south is so situated that it must
continue it's alliance with the
present party in power, hence its
condition is not taken into cou-
sideration. If the south was
made up politically of two
strong parties as is the west, we
have not the slightest doubt but
that efforts would be made by
our national lawmakers to re-
lieve the present financial stress.
The most the south has been
able to get from the congress, is
a promise of relief in the shape
of currency legislation, but SO
far nothing available has come
of it; nothing whatever has been
done so far as we can see which
enables the farmers of the south
to get their principal product
into the countries in need of it;
our shipping is tied up at the
wharves, and our cotton is lock-
ed up inthe warehouses, all for
the lack of transportation facil-
tiles, and yet, day after day our
representatives in congress do
nothing towards loading these
ships to carry our product across
the ocean where it is needed,
and where the money is offered
for it. butthe crop of the west
Tern farmers and the horses from

of war from the steel trust goes
