cepting the doctors. 1t costs money to
run newspapers, and one OF the most
important sources OF newspapers s
revenue is dependent on advertising
The doctors are for some reason deau
against advertising, more particularly
all kinds of paid advertising, and
therefore their teaching and their
preaching strikes at the foundation
support of the newspapers. The news
paper man can see no reason in the
world why if one doctor is better than
another, knows more than another,
and all that, he should not make the
fact known just as other people do.
The newspaper man does not believe
that a simple diploma and license
makes a doctor; but he does believe
that inhibition against advertising i'm
poses upon the public many a mutt
who, If exposed to the light Of pub
licity, would have to take up differ
ent line Of business in order to earn
d livelihood. Now, no newspaper man
can see why any doctor should not
run at least a professional card or
like that in order to keep
himself before the public and to dis
charge some of his obligations to the
newspapers. And every newspaper
man feels that if all the doctors would
run professional cards in their repec-
tive county papers, the newspaper
men would feel a great deal less like
helping to bring in against them the
competition Of patent medicines and
the like, and also all feel that If it
were necessary to do so under such
circumstances, the State Medical as
sociation could come with much bet
ter grace with a request to the edi-
tors not to print any kind of patent
medicine advertisement"
A few words personal in conclusion.
We have not butted in in this matter.
Except for the letter Of Secretary
Hines and his speech, we would not
have had a word to say. What we
have said expresses the views Of scores
of newspaper men, including our own
views. We have had many doctor
to tell us something like this: Il like
The Yorkville Enquirer because 1t Is
not filled up with patent medicine ad-
yertisements." This has not influence
ed our policy in the least. We are
governed solely by what we conceive
to be business considerations based on
right; but since the doctors have NOV
ed in the presentation Of their view,
it is proper that we give them what
we conceive to be the view of the
newspaper men, and Of course If any
body sees proper to dissent from the
view we have expressed, whether doc
tor or newspaper man, it is up to them
to do so.

as a premium in The Enquirer's club
contest to Mrs. John ]. McCarter of
the F'ilbert section.
Speaking of the crop outlook in his
section Saturday, Mr.. D. M. Hall of
Yorkville No. l, said that worms were
playing havoc with the corn and the
prospect for a good crop was the poor
est he had observed in years. Mr..
Hall stated that where nitrate Of soda
was plentifully applied to corn, the
worms were doing little damage.
Comparatively little nitrate of soda
had been applied, because there were
so many other things to do.
The many friends Of Sheriff Brown
will rejoice with him and Deputy
Sheriff Quinn because Of their success
in the capture of Wyatt, not so much
because they care cne way or the 9TH
er about Wyatt, as because the sheriff
has all along been so anxious to get
the fellow back in Jail. 1t is not to
be understood that Sheriff Brown has
been chewing the rag" about the
matter, for as a matter Of fact he has
been having very little to say, except
to some of his closest friends, and he
did not hesitate to let them know
that he was going to get Wyatt back
if it took him ten years and he had to
sell his plantation. He was in dead
earnest about it. Just how the trick
was accomplished has not been made
public and will not be made public;
but it is a fact that success has been
due altogether to the persistent and
we'll directed efforts of Sheriff Brown
and Deputy Quinn. So cautious were
they in their proceedings that after
locating Wyatt at a house on a rural
route down in Georgia, instead Of
trusting the Georgia officers to make
the arrest, it was arranged that Dep
uty Quinn go himself, and the deputy
had instructions like this: "And If you
get him, don't start back until you
have had a real good sleep and you
are sure that you will be able to keep
your eyes open." In view of what has
happened the sheriff well understands
that he has smooth citizen to deal
with, and he proposes to take but
few chances on Wyatt's getting away
again.

In explanation Of the part ]. P.
Morgan & Co., has taken in the fur
nishing of war munitions and supplies
for the European nations at war, 1t
was stated authoritatively in New
York Sunday night, that the firm had
handled more than $500, 100000 worth
Of contracts for the account Of foreign
governments since the war began. OF
this amount about $400,00,000 worth
has been purchased for the British
since the Morgan firm was appointed
agents for Great Britain in this coun-
try, and $50,000,000 for the French
contracted for within the last month,
the Morgan firm having been appoint
ed by the French government to act
in the same capacity as 1t does for the
British government. About one-half
of the total amount contracted for In
this country represents contracts for
ammunitions, shells, powder and the
like, but Of the whole amount OF am
munition contracted for only a small
part it was stated, had been forward
ed to the purchasers. The remainder
is being manufactured. The Morgan
firms commissions for placing the
contracts was said to be on sliding
scale, which began at two per cent
and decreased in proportion to the
magnitude of the contracts. 1t was
explained that Of the total Of $780,
100000 worth Of war supplies con-
tracted for by the Morgan firm only
a small proportion had been paid, al
though advances have been made to
some firms. This explanation was
given to correct the impression that
the large purchases Of war supplies
had been responsible for the fall In
foreign exchange. The low quotations
were due, 1t was said, to enormous
purchases in this country of grain and
foodstuffs.

Greenville Piedmont, Saturday: In
spite of rain this morning several
hundred people gathered at the Judson
mill picnic ground to hear Cole l..
Blease. The crowd was very enthusi-
astic and cheered the ex-governor re-
peatedly. His general subject was lib
erty. Not so much personal liberty
but the liberty that is secured through
wise and unselfish legislation. He in
sisted that the time has come when
public officers must be elected on the
basis of merit and not on the basis Of
personal regard. He touched upon the
present banking system of paying in
terest in advance and said that it was
robbing the man who was forced to
borrow money. The gist of his speech
was that the workingman is a part
of orr democracy and has the right to
exercise his powers in his own behalf.
through the ballot. He pointed out to
the people that honorable and wise
government can only be secured
through wise legislation and that wise
legislation must come from wise and
impartial exercise of the right of
vote His speech, summed up. was a
plea for the workingman to play his
part in state as an honorable citizen
and to exercise his power for the bet
terment of government as a whole.

BE PREPARED
GET READY, NOT FOR WAR, BUT
FOR DEFENSE, SAYS THE
PRESIDENT.
Wilson Asks Nations Support Of
Plans for Preparedness as Ban
quet in New York City.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New York President Wilson
opened the administration campaign
for its national defense program In a
comprehensive and carefully prepared
address delivered on the 4th at the
Manhattan Club banquet.
The President was received with
enthusiastic applause as he entered
the banquet hall and during his ad-
dress.
The President called upon men OF
AL shades OF political opinion TO rally
TO the support OF the program.
He spoke OF the United States as
- nation too big and generous to be
exActing. but yet courageous enough
to defend its rights and the liberties
Of its people, wherever assailed or in
volved."
The President spoke in part al fol-
lows:
s'Mr. Toastmaste- and Gentlemen:
"a year and a half ago our thought
would have been almost altogether OF
great domestic questions. They are
many and Of vital consequence. We
must and shall address ourselves TO
their solution with diligence, firmness
and self-possession.
I'VE are thinking now chiefly OF our
relations with the rest OF the world
not our commercial relations-about
those we have thought and planned
always, but about our political rela-
;v,A ir-id dtra
independent force in the world to our
selves, our neighbors and the world
itseH.
~Our principles are we'll known. II
- not necessary to avow them
again. We believe in political liberty
and founded our great government to
obtain 1t, the liberty Of men and OF
peoples-of men to choose their OWL
lives and Of peoples to choose theiI
own allegiance.
I'VE shall, confidently believe
never again take another foot OF ter
rftory by conquest. We shall never
in any circumstances seek to make an
Independent people subject to our do
minion, because we believe, we pas
sionately believe, in the right Of ev'
cry people, to choose their own al
leEiance and be free Of masters alto
gether.
For ourselves we wish nothing but
the full liberty of self-developnent;
and with ourselves in this great mat
our own hemisphere.
I'VE have it in mind to be prepared
but not for war, but only for defense
THAT plan calls for only such an
Increase in the regular army Of the
United States as experience has
proved to be required for the perform
ance of the necessary duties of the
army in the Philippines, in Hawaii, IL
Porto Rico, upon the borders Of the
United States, at the coast fortifica
lions and at the military posts Of the
Interior
For the rest, it calls for the train
ing within the next three years OF
force Of 100000 citizen soldiers to b.
raised in annual contin gents OF 1873
900, who would be asked to enlist 20
three years with the colors and thre
years on furiough, but who duri1'
their three years of enlistment wit
the colors would not be organized as
standing force, but would be expecte
merely to undergo intensive trairin
for a very brief period Of each year.
"Their training would take place Il

lied units Of the regular army.
