Why He Ate Them.

Here is story of a small bow a
mother and barrel Of apples and a
moral which does not have to be told
in words:
The windows Of an orphan asylum
overlooked the backyard of the house
where the boy, the barrel of apples
and the boys mother lived. Now the
apples that were in the barrel disap-
peared at a famous rate. and the
mother being a knowing woman as a
matter of course made inquiry of her
son. Yes, he had eaten the apples,
but "Mamma," he said, Il have to;
the orphans want so many cores. -

IMMIGRATION BILL FAILS.
House Fails to Override PRESIDENT S
Veto.

washington, rep. An allelHpl
to pass the immigration bill prescrlb-
ing a literacy test for immigrants
over President Wilson's veto failed
in the house today, the affirmative
vote lacking just five of the neces-
sary two-thirds Of 399 members
present 261 voted to override the
veto, 1876 voted to sustain the presl-
dent, and two answered present
The final test came at the close of
a day of earnest debate, in which
party lines were abandoned. Majori-
ty Leader Underwood vigorously crit
icised the presidents reasons for We
toing the bill, and urged the house
to override executive disapproval.
Mr.. Underwood told the house that
the country had in several elections
returned majorities in congress ia
voring restriction OF immigration
and that the presidents contention
that no political platform had placed
he issue before he people was futile.
THE question" said he, "is
whether you stand for the American
standard of living and the American
standard of wages"
To Sustain President.
Representative Moore, of Pennsyl-
vania, Republican, urged the house
TO support the president. He de-
clared immigration had had no bad
effects on wages and working condi-
tions in this country and asserted
that the restrictions imposed in the
bill were contrary to the fundamen-
tai principles upon which the fore
fathers based this republic"
Chairman Burdett, of the immigra-
ton committee and author of the
bill, declared the fight for restrictive
immigration legislation would con-
tinue.
I'VE lost by a very narrow mar
gin," he said, "and swing of a few
votes would have passed the bill.
The fight will be made again in the
next congress"
The vetoed bill passed the house
Just a year ago by a vote of 239 to
14O. Today's vote showed gain
Of % votes for it and loss of votes
from the opposition strength.
The 261 votes for passing the bill
over the veto were cast as follows:
Democrats, 166; Republicans, IS;
Progressives and Progressive Repub-
licans, 16; Independent, l.
Against the Bill.
Against the bill the vote was:
Democrats, 1O1; "1nsurgent" Demo
crat, ]; Republicans, go; Progress
sive and Progressive Republicans, 2.
Members who were in the house
when the. bill passed last February
and who changed their votes today
were: :
Voting for the bill and against
overriding the veto: -
Bailey, Bartlett, of Georgia;
Beakes, Brumbaugh, Mcguire; of
Maryland; Park, Whaley, Smith, Of
Maryland; Taylor; of Alabama.
Voting against the bill and for
overriding the veto:
Cooper. Johnson, of Utah; Kin
kaid, of Nebraska, and Scott. -.
Representative Garner, of Texas,
who voted present when the bill was
passed, voted against overriding the
veto. Representative Steenerson,
who voted against the bill voted
present today. Representative Vol
stead, who was paired against the
bill when it passed, voted to override
the presidents veto.
Presidents Taft and Cleveland We
toed similar measures and attempts
to override them failed.

LAWS MUST BE ENFORCED
MANNING MAKES STAND CLEAR
NLETTER TO SHERIFF.
Governor Issues Proclamation Setting
Aside Feb. 13 to Discuss Ferti-
liZer and Economy.

Columbia, Feb. 5.-Governor Man
ming has determined that the laws
of the State shall be enforced, and
he also hopes that each locality will
attend to the enforcing of these laws
without his having to appoint any
special constable or detective. The
sheriff of one of the counties wrote
him that he did not see how he. could
enforce the law in his county. In re-
ply Governor Manning wrote:
In reply to your letter, note that
you say that you feel it is almost an
impossible undertaking to enforce
the law with local aid.
Il will have to differ from you in
your view on this matter. l do not
see why it should be impossible for
the local authorities Of your county
to enforce the law. All the corporat-
ed laws of your county have their
local organization, which should be
ample to enforce all the law in that
community. Each magistrate in your
county has his constable, all of whom
have power in enforcing the law.
Finally, you have your deputy, and,
if necessary, you have the power to
swear in extra deputies. With this
machinery in your county, as in all
other counties, 1 do not see why the
law cannot be enforced.
81 expect the officers of each locali-
ty, whether municipal, magisterial,
district or county, to do their duty
in enforcing the law. l do not ex~
pect, either, that these officers should
remain passive until initiative for
the enforcement of the law comes
from outside forces. Wherever the
sheriff or other peace officer knows
or suspects violation of the law, it
should be his business to follow up
the clue to a conclusion.
':.The law should be enforced just
as much in regard to illegal liquor
sales, gambling, slot machines, or any
other petty violation, the same as 1t
would be-enforced in case of arson
or murder.
81 trust that you will view. this
matter as l do, and that you and
all other officers of your county will
do their utmost to enforce the law;
that they will not, by non-enforce-
ment, confess that they are unable
to preserve the law in your county.
81 hope that you will let me hear
from you at an early date on what
progress you are making in this mat
ter. l am,
''Very truly yours,

Fertilizer and Economy.

a proclamation issued today. desig-
mates February 13.as Fertilizer and
Economy Day" in South Carolina.
He believes that the uses Of fertilizer
should be discussed by the farmers
on this day and that mass meetings
should be held.
The following is the proclamation:
= February 4, 1915.
BY Richard I. Manning, governor.
, Whereas, there exist conditions
which make it essential that we with
our neighbors. in the South, practice
a strict economy in our business and
household affairs, a practice which
most of US will find very difficult un-
less we have given careful thought
to it or have had prior experiences
in saving; and
Whereas, it is best that We assem-
BILE with our neighbors and give and
take advice on the important prob
lens of saving and spending money
wisely, drawing from the depths OF
our own experiences and hardening
to the words of others who have
come to the assemblies with helpful
words and practical ideas, int this way
learning many things which will be
useful to us; and
Whereas, the conditions which
command us to be frugal and to
spend our wealth with more wisdom
and forethought than we have ordi-
narily displayed in the past, are also
conditions that compel us to change
the fertilizer practices under which
we have been spending large
amount of money, much of it un-
wisely, for commercial fertilizers,
placing many of US in a position IN
which We require expert advice on
what fertilizers to use this spring;
and
Whereas, it appears meet and fit
ting that this question Of fertilizer
practices be discussed at those assem-
blies at which the questions of econ
omy are discussed;
Now, therefore. I, Richard I. Man
ming, governor, do hereby designate
and set aside Saturday, February 1S,
1915. as Fertilizer and Economy Day,
urging that a meeting Of citizens be
on that day held in each county
court house in South Carolina; and
Further, l appeal to the good citi-
zens of the rural communities of
South Carolina, and to farmers wives
as we'll as to the farmers themselves,
to congregate at their respective
county court houses on Saturday,
February 13, 1915, at an hour to be
determined separately in each county.

new BRANCHES To
THE WISCONSIN
HUMANE SOCIETY

Eleven new branches were added to
the Wisconsin Humane Society in 1914,
according to Zachariah Clayton, super
intendent of the organization. They
were: Arnott, Appleton, PlainfieId, Pc
waukee, Beloit, Platteville, Kilbourn
City, Madison, Amigo, and Marshfeld.
Clayton's annual report shows that
relief was given to 1872 persons, LIS
large animals and 953 small animals
lone of the greatest evils which we
have had to contend with is the suffer
ing of chickens shipped in crates, "said
Clayton. This has been remedied to a
great extent, however, by the passage
of law by the 1913 legislature, regula-
| ting the height of crates to IL inches
and requiring the top to be covered
with wire netting with not more than 6
one-inch mesh. This law which was in,
troduced by member of the society
went into effect Jan. l. 1915.
In our efforts to have drivers blanket
their horses in severe weather we have
had the entire sympathy of the owners
In my belief many horses die of disease
incurred through the neglect of drivers
in blanketing them. Complaints and in

What a Corrupt Boss Is

DEFORE the Syracuse trial ends there is
ID likely to be a judicial definition of po-
litcal corruption that ought to be illumi-
mating.
The presiding Judge has already intimated
that to be corrupt a man does not neces-
sarily have to accept money bribe or to
bribe others with cold cash, and that an
improper use of power may also be described
as corruption.
This corresponds with the popular under
standing of the meaning of the term. When
two bosses or, If the softer word be pre-
ferred, two leaders, of opposing parties get
together and plan to divide the Offices be-
tween their organizations by such a Juggling
Of tho nominations that the bargain can be
carried out with the unwilling assistance of
the voters there is corruption, or language
has lost it's significance. The condition pre-
vailed for years when Platt arranged that
Tammany should control New York city
provided Tammany would not make a serI-
Gus effort to prevent Platt from controlling
the State Legislature. And there was hi
partisan machine in this Commonwealth until
the outraged and Independent Democrats de-
termined that the scandal had continued
long enough.
There may be some bosses so lost to any
sense of shame that they are not aware that
they are corrupt but it is clearly the inten-
ton of the presiding Judge in Syracuse to
make 1t so clear what corruption is that
even jury of plain citizens can under
stand it.

CALM BUT NOT COOL

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sr-Your most fitting editorial of Saturday
and preceding days, counseng calm attitude
for us Omitted States) to take upon the war
question of Europe, I agree with but possibly
am more strenuous, as much the Huguenot
and Quaker blood will permit.
1t appears to me that now is the psycholog-
cal moment, and the only dignifed position
for the United States to take is to step into the
scraps of paper" to which this Union of
States" has been a part during the last half
century more. Compel respect for the neu-
trality of Belgium and restore that country to
its rightful position. protect Holland against
threats and fully establish the power of The
Hague Tribunal. Send sufficient naval and mill
tary force, backed with our billions, to act as
the preliminary to worlds police, or interna-
tonal army and navy. to enforce neutrality
and treaties only.
Then let the Allies crush the last vestge
of mllitarlsm land likewise abandon 1t them
selves) and If not submitting, take the leaders
TO st. Helena and give them time to think
of the awful wlckedness of that spirit that
has been engendered for SO many years. with

lessons taught by the meek and lowly Prince
of Peace. A method OF complete ostraclslA
might also be resorted to. I will do my little

THE HORROR OF THE LUsITANIA

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sr-The recent interview with me which has
been widely published in the newspapers was
given over the long distance telephone Friday
night to a member of the staff of one of your
esteemed contemporaries. At that time 1t was
currently reported that the Lustana had been
beached and that no lives had been lost Tho
interview was generally published under tho
caption Germany Right in Lusitania Case" or
Germany Is Right" which puts an interpreta~
ton upon what I really said the very opposite
OF that which I intended. and deem 1t my
duty TO the newspaper press, as we'll to
myself to correct the mistake which has in
nocenty been made.
The question submitted to me over the long
distance telephone and which I undertook TO
answer was whether the sinking of the Lusi-
tania altered the status of the United States
with respect to her non-interference in the pres
ent war I replied that the sinking OF the
great liner raised new situation IN the law
of the seas as far as this country was
cerned The purpose of all that really said
was to allay popular indignation.
I was then asked whether It would make any
