The Charlotte Observer names the
Charleston News and Courier and the
Columbia State as the two Monday
morning papers in South Carolina. We
twitted the Observer because we noted
that they had evidently overlooked the
Greenville News. We are quite sure
however, that the Observers oversight
was purely inadvertent; for if there is
ANYTHING small about the Observer we
have vet to discover the fact.

Representative Lever, who is chair
man of the agricultural committee OF
the house, is reported as saying that II
the Smith cotton futures bill which
recently passed the senate, has teeth
in it," it will be favorably reported by
his committee. Mr. Lever is not a
statesman of the kind who legislates
for buncombe. He believes in dealing
fairly with his constituents, and what
he gives them is always just as repre-

The argument that since we dug
the canal with our own money, we have
right not to charge our own people
for using it," appeals very strongly to
most people. The justice. Of the propo-
sition is all right and then there is an
appeal to individual cupidity; but the
argument touches on only part of the
question. Carrying the thing little
further the conclusion would run like
this:
Q. Who dug the canal?
A. Uncle Sam.
Q. Who paid for it?
A. Uncle Sam.
@. Where did he get the money?
A. BY taxation.
Q. Who paid the taxes?
A. Every American citizen who pro-
duces anything of value by labor.
@. How?
A. BY giving up per centage over
actual cost when he buys suit OF
clothes or any manufactured article,
and almost every commodity that
comes from abroad, also on tobacco,
whisky and the like, and in scores OF
other ways.
@. But if Uncle Sam does not charge
tolls, won't you get it back?
A. No, because l have no ships. The
ships belong to big combinations and
they will take the toll money. They
are not going to give me freight any
cheaper than they have to, and in the
absence of competition they can charge
pretty much as they please.
Q. But if you make these ships pay
tolls won't they charge you higher for
freights?
A. Maybe some higher; but we can
regulate that by interstate commerce
laws.
Q. Suppose we make them pay full
tolls, what then?
A. We use the money for the up
keep of the canal charge that is on
us anyway, and if there is any surplus
we put it back in the treasury where
it still belongs to us. While we stood
to lose under the free tolls proposition,
if we charge tolls there is absolutely
no chance for a few to get benefit at
the expense Of the many, and no
chance for us to lose.

The only thing we have seen so far
that is calculated to queer President
Wilson in South Carolina is over the
patronage question. Heretofore all OF
his patronage has gone one way, and
the people see it. The common belief
is that Senator Smith and the Messrs.
Gonzales, or rather the Messrs. Con-
zales and Senator Smith have the con-
troll Of the patronage, and unless there
develops something to change this i'm
preston there is going to be row.

Comment on the Frank Case

The following editorial headed
THE Frank Case" appears in the
latest issue of The Outlook:
"A case involving defects in
criminal procedure which are al
most opposite in character to
those shown by the Becker case
has recently been decided in
GeOrgi,
"A young man, Leo NJ. Frank,
who was convicted of murder last
August has been denied by the
Supreme Court Of Georgia the
chance for new trial
1T is declared that when he
was tried certain new spapers of
Atlanta, the city in which the
trial took place, aroused by their
stories popular animoSity against
Che prisoner; that the courtroom
was filled with a crowd hostile to
the prisoner; that the jurors had
to pass to and fro through the
angry throng. The editors of the
very newspaper we are in
formed, that had been trying the
case in their columns so dreaded
the consequences of popular eX-
element that they joined in a pc
tition To the trial Judge not to let
the case go to the jury on a Sat

of violence if the verdict was
brought in on half-holiday,
The trial judge, in declining
to grant a new trial said that he
himself was not certain whether
the prisoner was guilty or mno-
cent. From a number Of citizens
of Atlanta whose judgu cnt we
trust we have asked for informa-
ton as to the fact. From the an
swers we have received we think
the following statements may be
regarded as trustworthy:
Il. Ile rumor that the popular
hostility to the prisoner was due
to the fact that he $ a jew seems
to have little, if any, foundation.
