IS HEADED BY BRYAN
Members VIII Sit Permanently

The Hague. Jan. 13.-The Ford peace
expedition has elected the following
American members Of the permanent
peace board 70 sit in Europe indefinite
ly with the purpose of using all efforts
to settle the war: William Jennings
Bryan, Henry Ford, Miss Jane Addams,

The board will be composed Of an
equal number of members from the
various neutral countries and will re-
main in The Hague or Stockholm with
the financial backing Of Mr. Ford. Each
member will receive a salary, and the
entire expenses of the board probably
will amount to 100000 yearly. Dr.
Aked announced that lie would offer
his resignation TO his San Francisco
church.
Lively discussions among the mem
bers of the expedition over the methods
OF choosing the members of the perma-
nent board marked the election. After
the slate had been drawn and offered,
as the choice of SIR Ford, its adoption
being urged because Mr.. Ford was the
financial hacker Of the party, John d.
Barry, Of San Francisco, branded the
scheme "as a conspiracy 10 railroad the
selection without reference 10 the mem
bers." He said it would be considered
8 farce in the United States.

It is the duty of every Democrat
to register. No voter can cast his
ballot in the general election unless
he is registered. The registration
books will be open on the first Mon
day in October, and this will besthe
last opportunity to register before
the general election in November.
The Progressives and we believe the
Republicans have full tickets out this
year for State offices and congress.
There is, of course, no shadow of
chance for the Republicans or Pro-
gressives to elect their tickets, but
the Democrats should roll up large
vote, so as to insure the State always
remaining in the right column. And,
whether there is danger of another
party or not, it is always the duty
of good citizens to register and vote
in general elections. Since the DEM
ocrats have secured control of the
national government there has been
no talk of cutting the Southern rep
resentation in congress, but in the
event of a Republican success this
year, the talk will in all probability
be revived. The Republican cry has

It seems that the country has gone
E'strike' crazy. A big strike is now
on in New York, and sympathetic
strike," whatever that is, has been
called to aid the street car strikers.
About 100000 men will be idle, it is
said, because the labor leaders have
declared that union men Of all de-
scriptions should walk out in SYM
pathy with the street car men. When
ever there is any issue involving al
legged personal liberty, the labor men
can always be counted as being
against anything that will infringe
upon their personal rights. Yet they
allow themselves to be called upon
to strike simply because there. is trou-
bic between some other laborers, with
whom they have no connection, and
their employers. And, further than
that, the labor union heads in New
York have sent out the word that no
union men are to ride upon street
cars in New York operated by other
than union men, which means that
they will not ride at all. In order
to carry out this order, pickets have
been stationed all, over the city to
see to it that no union men ride on
the cars. We have nothing in the
world against labor unions. Prop
erlY conducted, we think they safe
guard the rights of the laboring peo-
pie; but when it comes to debating
to people as to whether they shall
ride or walk, we think it is about
time to call a halt. The trouble is,
in our opinion, the unions have as
high officers set of demagogues
rather than me9 whose purpose it is
to safeguard to labor that which be-
longs to labor.

WORLDS LARGEST FISH.
The Man-Eater of Centuries Age
Was Some Big Creature.

Once upon time, one million
years ago, so the archaeologists say,
there lived in the ocean family of
sharks so gigantic that Jonah's
whale, by comparison, would be only
little larger than bait, declares
the American Boy. Their gaping
jaws opened as wide as garage doors,
and were fully nine feet across, with
an opening of more than six feet in
height. Whens this fish dined on his
sea food, his jaws crunched down
with the force of a hydraulic press,
and ground, with teeth one-half foot
high, the hundreds of bony fishes up
on which he subsisted.
This leviathan, called the Carchar-
odon Megalodon, is one of the latest
additions to the Hall of Fossil Fishes
of the American Museum of Natural
History in New York. In the phos-
phate deposits off the coast of South
Carolina were found number of
teeth ranging in size from two to six
inches, and similar in shape to those
of the great white shark, or man
eater. The Carcharodon, according
to conclusions of the archaeologists,
was simply man-eater in a larger
edition.
The teeth, of which a vast number
were found, have been arranged at
the museum in the same manner as
they are found in the present man
eater. Comparing the size of the
teeth of the restored Carcharodon
with those of the largest living
sharks, whose length is forty feet, it
is estimated that the Carcharodon
was at least eighty or Mighty feet
long.

There is always a possibility OF
some defeated candidate in the Dem
ocratic primaries becoming disgrun-
tied and running in the general elec-
ton as an independent, Republican
or. Progressive. The Democrats
should always be prepared to give
such a traitor to the party, the over
whelming defeat that he deserves.
One defeated candidate in the last
primary has already left the party.
Let every true Democrat see that he
has his registration certificate on the
first Monday in October.

If the editor of the Charleston
American voted in the Democratic
primaries this year, his ears must
have been closed when he took the
oath and pledge at the ballot box.
The American a few days ago stated
that Democratic voters were under
no obligations to vote for the Demo
cratic nominee for president. The
following is the oath and pledge each
voter was required to take before
placing his ballot in the box: Il do
solemnIy swear that am resident
of this club district, and am duly
qualified to vote at this election &C
cording to the rules of the Demo
cratic party, and that have not vot-
ed before at this election, and pledge
myself to support the nominees OF the
party, State and national" Nothing
can be clearer than that. No man OF
conscience can consider that he is
not under obligation to vote for the
Democratic presidential candidate ii
he voted in the Democratic primary
In fact, strictly construed, we believe
that every voter actually obligates
himself not to absent himself from
the polls at the general election, for
no one can support, the nominees OF
the party by failing to register and
vote.
