the laws in the city of Columbia. The
Columbia city authorities assured the

lockers removed from the clubs and
a vigilant effort made to enforce all

the coming of night obliged them to
withdraw. leaving behind them the
fated vessel. The Turkish gunners
directed an accurate fire against her
and she still was holding out at the
time this dispatch was written.
Eight shots were seen to strike this
vessels deck full and square within
ten minutes. Nevertheless, she con-
tinued to return this terrific fire.
Her shots had no apparent effect on
the fort.
So far as has been ascertained the
Turkish losses today have been one
gun jammed by debris, two men kill
ed and fifteen slightly wounded.
Other reports of damage have not
yet come in, but it is understood they
were very slight.
The fire from the vessels of the
allied fleets came to an end at sun
down. Not one gun in a Turkish
fort was silenced. in spite of the fact
that something between 1900 and
1000 shells were fired at the shore
positions. Tonight Chanakkalessi
still is burning in two places and
there is a fire on the other side Of
the water in Kilid Bahi.
On shore it is felt that the work
of today has resulted in a victory
for the Turks. The British and
French vessels ventured close enough
to come within range Of Turkish
guns which up to now. had not been
fired.

Whoever keeps his ears wide open
at this time finds one almost unani-
nous opinion rushing into them from
many mouths, says the New York
Sun.
In the subway and on the elevat-
ed, in the street cars and on the fer
ry boats, in the smoking rooms OF
European and Caribbean steamers,
in the smoking compartments and
smoking cars of trains East, Middle
West and Far West, among knots OF
commercial travellers in hotels, in
clubs and in barber shops, wherever
men talk, this opinion is uttered
frankly and too often with a pro-
fame emphasis: forms of it are about
like this:
You will never live long enough
to see the Democratic party in power
again.
Just wait till 1916.
Wilson is on the down grade.
"Mr. Wilson may mean we'll, but
he doesn't know anything about bus

"The only chance of the country
is to put the Republicans back again.

Il can't stand for that Mexican
business, either.

Coarse and common words of vul-
gar people base enough to prefer a
living to all the graces Of rhetoric
and even to that service to mankind
for which the United States exists
at present.
These regrettable expressions, a
few of many of the same import with
which the air is now vibrating, are
set down without malice and without
eXtenuation.
One more, as frequent, perhaps,
as any of it's comrades Of plebeian
criticism, is this: And / never voted

When Il Governor is Not Governor

The question in eX parte Crump,
(Oklahoma court of appeals), is:
Does a governors absence from a
State for a few hours or days serve
to put in force the constitutional pro-
vision allowing the lieutenant COVER
nor to act in his place? George
Crump was convicted on a charge
of forgery to serve seven-year
term in prison. Lieutenant Cover
nor ]. J. McAlister pardoned him in
the absence of Governor Lee Cruce.
The return to the writ of habeas cor
pus denied that Crump was pardon
ed; stating that the purported par
don was void in that it was granted
without authority of law by the lieu
tenant governor of the State when
the governor was qualified and act
ing, and when the occasion contem-
plated by the constitution for the
liutenant governor to act as COVER
nor had not arisen. The governor
on his return Immediately directed
respondent to disregard the pretend
ed pardon, and insisted that his abb
sence was merely temporary, and did
not warrant the lieutenant governor
in acting in his place. The court
held: "A pardon is an act Of grace
and mercy bestowed by the State
through it's chief executive upon Of
tenders against the law. Yet par
don properly granted is also an act
of justice supported by wise pub
lie policy. An unduly exercise of the
pardoning power is greatly to be de-
plored. 1t is ineXcusable. 1t is a
blow at law and order, and is an ad-
ditional hardship upon society in its
irrepressible conflict with crime and
criminals. If a governor believes
law under which criminal was con-
victed to be unjust or too harsh, still
he should not for that reason alone
exercise the pardoning power. The
duty of mitigating the severity of the
law lies with the legislature. AS an
officer he should look upon the law
as wise and just, whatever may be
his private opinion. " A full un-
conditional pardon takes effect upon
delivery either to the person who is
the subject Of the boundary or some
one who is acting in his behalf.
An abuse of the pardoning power
does not authorize the courts to de-
cline to give effect to a pardon, and
no court has the power to review
the action of an executive in grant
ing a pardon, for that would be the
exercise of the pardoning power in
part, and any attempt Of the courts
to interfere with the governor in the
exercise of the pardoning power
would be manifest usurpation Of au-
thority. *The functions of chief
magistrate were created for the Dene-
fit of the State, and are local to it;
and as the constitutional functions
of his Office cannot be exercised out
of the State, the effect Of his abb
sence from the State is to suspend
his constitutional functions, and
thereby these functions devolve upon
the lieutenant governor is de jure
and de facto governor until the alb
sent governor returns to the State
1t follows that the pardon
granted by the lieutenant governor
is a valid pardon. AS already indl-
Gated, the governor has no right to
revoke full and unconditional par
don that has been delivered; and
therefore, his order purporting to re-
woke this pardon was necessarily
mere nullity."

ARABIC MATTER
NOT YET SETTLED
GERMANY'S FAILURE TO DIS
AVoW SINKING OF SHIP
is DISAPPOINTING.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 4. - The
note presented by Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador, to Sec
retary Lansing in New York Satu1 day
regarding the sinking of the steamer
Arabic with the loss of American lives
is unsatisfactory to the United States
because of Germany's failure to dis
avow the act. Negotiations, however,
will be continued through the ambas-
sador with view to having Germany
not only disavow the act, but assume
responsibility and liability and make
full reparation.
The note was the subject of con-
ference between President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing last night While
officials declined to comment in view
Of the confidential character of the ne
gotiations, it became known today that
Count Won Bernstorff will be requested
to come to Washington when he will
be made acquainted with the attitude
Of the washington government toward
the communication.
A rupture in diplomatic relations
over the case Is considered unlikely
unless Germany fails to satisfy the
United States. Officials here are hope
full that the question of reparation will
be amicably adjusted. This hope is
based on official advices indicating
that Germany wishes to avoid rup-
ture.

Ask Congress to Build

MORE SUBMARINES
ARE TO BE BUILT
Lessons of the War Having
an Effect Upon Makeup
Of the U. S. Fleet

Washington, D. c., Oct. 4.-Presi.
dent Wilson, Secretary Daniels and
Chairman Padgett of the house naval
committee, decided today at a confer
ence at the white house that the naval
program for the coming session Of
congress shall include the addition Of
fast battle cruisers to the American
fleet. The navy now has none.
The conference discussed the naval
estimates more than an hour. After
ward, Secretary Daniels said the pro-
gram had not been completed and he
was not ready to make any announce
ment as to what increases he would
recommend to congress. Mr.. Daniels
said, however, that the report made to
him by Naval Constructor Mcbride
who returned from England last week
after Investigating naval lessons of
the war, had convinced. him that fast
warships of powerful types were abso-
lutely essential to a we'll balanced
navy, toward which his recommends
tions will trend. He refused to say
how many submarines congress will be
asked to provide but indicated that the
submersibles will be recognized by i'm
portant additions.
President Wilson will confer on
Wednesday with the advisory board,
headed by Thomas A. Edison. Mr..
Edison now is in Washington discuss
ing plans with Secretary Daniels.

BRITONS CEASE TO
COMPLAIN ON LOAN

London, Oct. 4.-London newspapers
which at first were inclined to com
plain at the terms on which the Anglo
French loan is being raised in the
United States, are now less critical,
pointing out that the great demand for
the loan already reported from Amer
lea has definite moral effect.
1T shows, as nothing could, not only
that americans want us to win, but al
SO that they believe we shall win"
says the Daily Mail.
It is expected there will be some
discussion of the terms of the loan in
parliament but the more favorable atti-
tude of the London press Is regarded
as significant.

ELECTRIC WORKERS
DECIDE ON STRIKE
FIFTEEN HUNDRED EMPLOYEES OF
BIG CORPORATION DEMAND
FEWER HOURS.

Schenectady, N. Y. Oct. About
1,50O machinists struck for an eight
hour day at the General Electric plant
here today. They have been working
ten hours There was no disturbance.
The total number of employees Of the
plant is approximately 10000.
Members of twelve other unions in
the plant representing about 10000
men, remained at work awaiting the
action of a committee from the Metal
Trades alliance, which has under con-
sideration proposal from the COM
pany regarding shortening hours. The
company is willing to reduce the work
ing week to fifty-two and half hours.
Action on this proposal probably will
be taken by the alliance on Wednes-
day night.
The last previous strike at the
plant came in November, 1913. Union
workers objected to the dismissing of
two employees who had been active in
organization work. They were restor-
ed to theiz positions.

"As to the assertions of certain
newspapers that the cabinet will not
be qualified to direct the destinies Of
Bulgaria because it will not have a
majority, we must observe that in a
parliamentary country, which Bull
garia undoubtedly Is, the government
which is said not to have supported
the premier with sufficient majority
in the Sobranjc would not be able to
remain in power.
'Since the cabinet of M Radoslavoff
took over the affairs OF the country
over two years ago Its position never
has been shaken. After all, there is
nothing provocative in its policy for
anyone and 1t is astonishing to see at
tacks made on the part of the foreign
press against the attitude of the Bull
garian government"

Federation of Labor, commenting to-
