who runs the paper?" asks the
Anderson Intelligencer. That Is a
rather difficult question to answer
sometimes. If the editor Is a practi-
cal man Of experience, knows his bus
mess, and is possessed of integrity up
editor does not measure up to these
requirements, 1t will very often taken
a search warrant to answer h Intel
%ligencer's question. In one case 1t
might be influence and in another
case it might be another. We have
known Of cases where men who had
been successful in the requirement Of
money and power have devoted their
efforts to controlling the newspaper
in order to facilitate their schemes in
pulling things over the community.
The means employed are numerous
and varied. Sometimes they use the
boycott, sometimes money pressure,
sometimes social pressure, sometimes
thugs, and so on. In many cases pub
lie officials run newspapers through
money subsidies and the diversion Of
official advertising from its legitimate
channels. Very frequently a paper is
run by the holders Of the mortgages.
But the paper is never run very long
by any of these Influences; because
the public catches on after a while
and when it catches on it withdraws
it's support. The correct answer to
the Intelligencer's question then is
that the paper must be run by a dis
eliminating constituency through an
editor Of experience and reasonable
integrity or it will not be run by any
body for long.

PRESIDENT TO BOY SCOUTS.
The Only Way to Make Good Is to
Keep Awake.

President Wilson received the mem
bers Of the national council OF the Boy
Scouts Of America yesterday and pre-
scented medals to several Scouts, one of
them for lifesaving.
Speaking to the Boy Scouts, Presi
dent Wilson said:
Il am sincerely glad to have the
pleasure of this visit from you and to
have an opportunity to express my
very sincere interest, not only in the
organization Of the Boy Scouts, but In
the objects that the organization has
For all | know of il and from all that

it is an admirable organization, devOt-
ed to the objects that | myself, thor

There is one rule in the world and
it applies to all professions: that is,
that you are expected to make good.
No eXcuses are allowed in this school
of life. The only way To make good /.
to keep awake. That is the reason ]
like the idea of the Boy Scouts: ii
gives them some notion OF their being
responsible To society. They are re-
sponsible to the people who live around
them. to help maintain the standards
of order and of fidelity. which are the
only things which hold a community
together.

The Chester News suggests that the
name Of Yorkville be changed to York
for a year and that it be then changed
to New York" Wonder why the fell
low who fathered this change propo-
sition had not thought Of that at first?
The Columbia State Of yesterday.
reports that the bill providing for a
vote on the question Of changing the
name Of the own Of Yorkville to York,
has been withdrawn from the house
calendar. AS to what this means, The
Enquirer has not been advised. The
proper procedure in the beginning
would have been for the town council
to order an election on a petition OF a
majority of the freehold voters. and
the withdrawal Of the petition In no
wise interferes with this procedure.
X is pleasing to note the withdrawal
Of that bill to change the name Of the
town Of Yorkville, from the house CAL
endar. Just how it happened we are
not prepared to say; but we are not
prepared to give the promoters Of the
scheme any credit therefor. There Is
provision in the law for changing the
namec Of towns upon a petition Of a
majority Of the freeholders and a vote
Of the people. and the people who were
behind this scheme knew it. They
tried the same thing eighteen years
ago and got licked more than three to
one. This time they tried the general
petition racket and although we have
not seen 1t, we understand that they
had on their petition m Of people
who were not even qualified voters.
They did not put in any provision for
a vote of the people. That provision
was incorporated by the legislative
delegation, and it did no suit the peo-
pie who were manipulating from this
end, Notwithstanding bland, blithe and
suave profession to the contrary. Any
how the whole matter stands now
where it stood at the beginning, and
the procedure will have to be by
means Of a petition signed by a major
ity of. the freeholders and backed by a
majority Of the qualified voters.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-02-12

The Greenville News agrees with
The Enquirer as to the a~bsurdity Of
that proposition to put within the dis
erection Of clerks Of the court to say
who shall and who shall not be allow
ed 10 order liquor. AS to whether the
News is willing to go as far as we in
the matter, we do not know; but as
we see it the proposition Is worse than
absurd. 1t is silly and we think 1t lit
tie short Of criminal. There is no in
dividual who is qualified to exercise
such a power rightfully. There Is too
much temptation to it, for one
thing, not only in the matter of the
25 cents fees; but in the matter Of in
f1uencing the franchise. A gallon a
month is a small quantity for a man
who drinks liquor habitually, especial
ly If there be consideration Of
the amount he gives away. Among
the numerous people who do not use
liquor and who would not order it,
there are many who have no scruples
about lending the use of their names
to others, and the people who desired
more than a gallon a month would
have but little difficulty in getting all
they want. There are plenty Of clerks
who would not hesitate to accommo-
date their friends, especially in view
of the fee and there are many who
would not take the risk Of making a
voter angry. fee or no fee. There are
some who would use this power purely
for electioneering purposes. But that
is only another side Of the matter.
The whole thing is ridiculous on its
face-this thing of pretending to pro-
hibit the importation Of liquor, while
leaving open a ready loophole for the
importation Of all the public might
desire. We are for absolute prohibi-
ton; but even if we saw it otherwise
and considered the importation Of
liquor an inherent right that was not
to be interfered with, we would not
stand for the deceit of the proposition
that is now under consideration.

The Richland county delegation
wants to issue s1,25O,00O of road
bonds to be paid by u tan on automo-
biles. Now as we have said time and
again, we believe in the graduated in
come tax, and we do not are where
the deldline is placed either above or
below. The justice of this tax in our
view lies in placing the burden largely
on ability to bear the same. But we
take no stock in the automobile tax
idea. Theoretically it may be all
right. for.the presumption is that au-
tOmobile owners belong only to the
Weather classes. AS a matter Of fact
II large per ZEN Of the automobiles Of
the state are owned by people who had
to mortgage other property along with
the automobiles to own them, n the
taxation of the owner Of a mortgaged
automobile along with the owner of
the machine of ample e is not
fair. The Richland proposition, we
think, is foolish.

We are not exactly prepared to en-
dorse that bill which is pending in the
general assembly to prohibit a rail-
road company from operating a train
of more than fifty cars. The object of
the bill, of course, is to make the
railroads give employment to more
men than they really need and there
is something wrong with the principle
of the thing. 1t strikes us as being
along the same line Of the lawyer who
stirs up litigation for the purpose Of
getting a fee. So far as the railroads
of this immediate locality are con-
cerned, the bill can have no effect on
present conditions because there are
no engines that could pull so cars over
them anyway. But there might be
some effect in the future in discour-
aging the improvement of these roads
they could handle fifty cars If it
were desirable to do so.

publicans and Democrats to avoid an

ure before the senate. and give the
president an opportunity to accept 1t
in the event of h failure of the
pending bill. The desire Of both Re-
publicans and Democrats to vaoid an
extra session, Representative Kitchin
thought, probably would give the pro-
posed plan sufficient support to get 1t
through before March 4. Representa-
tive Kitchin, Majority Leader Under

other house leaders, after comforting
with President Wilson at the White
House yesterday, returned to the cap
itol with the assurances that n pres
ident was still determined to press
the ship purchase bill even to the
point Of calling an extra session.
House leaders told the president that
they believed that an extra session
would prove futile because the ship
purchase bill would fail to get a ma
jority in the next house.
