WILSON AND CLEVELAND

Savoyard, the brilliant and
able Washington correspondent,
pays President Wilson this high
and well deserved compliment
In a recent letter:
Mr.. Cleveland failed because
he did not understand Congress,
because Congress did not have
his high ideals. Mr.. Wilson is
all that Cleveland was, and he is
more. He understands Congress
as well as though he had served
twenty years in either House.
He knows men ana he knows
things. Above all he knows
what he wants aud how to get it.
am certain no eth n Presi-
dent ever got as much out Of any
Congress as he eXhorted f. on
the Sixty-third, and l do not be
lieve the SiXty-fourth Congress
will prove fool enough to balk
him and wreck the party as did
the Fifth-third Congress-"

Made Possible by Statute Protect

Unlnspected Animals - Only One
Case of Chambers In South Carolina
in Eighteen Months.

Chambers, one of the most destruct-
i've diseases of horses and mules and
one that may be contracted by man,
has been almost eradicated from
South Carolina. DR.. Robert o. Feeley,
State Veterinarian at Clemson College.
has announced that in the last elgh-
teen months only one case of glanders
has been found in the state. For
three years, in factF cases of glanders
have been scarce and it is believed
that with a continuation Of precau-
tionary methods this state need not
fear outbreaks of this malevolent dis
sease. DR.. Feeley attributes the con-
troll Of glanders in South Carolina to
the enforcement of the law prohibiting
the Importation Of animals without
certain certificates.
Several years ago, when the law
that is now Section 522 Of the Crimi-
mel Code was passed, glanders was
quite prevalent in certain sections OF
the state. Section 522 made 1t unlaw.

mules, asses, cattle, sheep or swine

been examined and found free from

This law was put into force by the
veterinarians OF the college as soon
90 1t was passed and it was especially
effective in checking glanders. Where
ever a case of this disease was found
the animal was destroyed ard the
premises disinrectcd carefully. Little
by little the disease has retreated be
fore the vigilant fight that has been
made. The law has, Of course, meant
much In the control of other con
tagious diseases also. but il is in CLAN
ders that the effects have been most
noticeable.
"Practically all states now have
such a law about importing animals
said the State Veterinarian. "If there
were no such law in South Carolina
our state would be a dumping ground
for diseased stock from all parts c
the country. This law is a great pro
lection to our farmers"

How Crack sc6tch Regirnsnt, tho Sea-
forth Hiahlanders, ushers In
~ the New Year.

The Seaforth Highlanders, one OF
Scotland's crack regiments now at the
front, have one of the most peculiar
New Years eve customs of the whole
British army. The ceremony is pic
turesque and imposing.
On the night of Hogmanay, at about
10:30 o'clock, the regiment assem-
bles in the barrack square. A few
minutes later the oldest soldier in the
battalion, dressed as q Druid, makes
his appearance, to the accompani-
ment Of a flourish Of trumpets AS
cending the improvised throne, he
calls on the veterans to show their
uniforms and achievements of bygone
times. To the music of the pipes and
brass band veteran after veteran, ar
rayed in the uniforms worn by the reg
iment at different periods, marches
past and salutes the Druid. The Druid
then toasts "The Seaforth Highland.
ers."
After display of Highland dancing
the alarm is sounded, and the second
Oldest soldier, arrayed ais Father Time,
approaches. The veterans then re-
treat, leaving their honors to be guard
ed by their successors, and Father
Time expels the Druid.
At the last stroke of midnight a
loud knock is heard at the gate and
out rings the sentry's challenges:
Halt! Who goes there?"
The New Year!" comes back the
answer.
Advance, New Year, and give the
countersign!" is the next command.
pass, New Year; alrs WE'LL"
The gate is then opened and the
| youngest boy of the battalion enters,
dressed as the high clief of ancient
Ross, to represent the New Year. The
| colonel shakes hands with the boy,
while the band strikes up, "A Guild
! New Year TO Ane and A."
After the colonels greeting to the
battalion the national anthem is
| played and the men fall out.

POLITICS VERSUS PATRIOTISM

POLITICS VERSUS PATRIOTISM
This being presidential election
year is no excuse for our Repub.
lcan friends to play party pnli-
tics. But they are beginning it
good and strong. In Congl ess
and out of Congress they are
sounding the hew gag IL is a
sad feature Of present political
conditions that when politics APP
pears patriotism vanishes. This
was illustrated iu q forcible way
recently when Congress assem-
bled in Decem Der. The leader
Of the Republican minority ap-
peared III Congress with a chip
on his shoulder, hoping some
Democrat would knock it off and
thus start a fight Even before
Congress met it was given out
that President Wilson wished to
consult with the Republican
leader, MIR. james Il Mann, as
to the policies to be pursed on ac-
count of the war situation
There had been no intimation
from the President that he in
tended to dictate to the Repubh-
can leader but simply wished
conference as to the unusual con.
ditiOns confronting the Country.
Instead of accepting the invi-
JatiOn in the spirit in which it
was given, Mr.. Mann tells the
Country through the press Il

ton but / will not take any or.

tory Of the Country, with a crisis
that may develop into war, there
should be an absence of anything
like partisan spirit and effort up
on the part of Democrats and
Republicans to work for the best
interests of the Country. Prcsi-
dent Wilson has guided the Ship
State through stormy seas.
With patience aud widsom he
has held his course, keeping al
ways in view safety first re-
gardless of the clamor and jeers
of the opposition. Had a GER

Having avoided perils that
threatened the Country, and di-
rectlng affairs with stateman-
ship and wisdom it would seem
that all parties should rally to
the support Of the President.
If Republican Congressman

If the Republican party in

mand there should, at least, be

part of Democrats. Every man
of them should stand firmly by
