Let's Have a
"Clean-Up Day"

The Waterman notes that all
over the State the various cities,
towns and villages are having
"Clean-Up Days" and We would
suggest that Columbia fall into
line and do bit Of cleaning and
Frightening up.
Naturally, Columbia is one of
the prettieSt towns on terra

the mighty Ouachita, reinforced
BY the eternal hills now verdure
crowned, floWer-Iaden, filled

coed Tennysons great dream
and a few handsome men
But with all OF this there is
room for improvement in the

All of this material will be most

are proceeding on the theory that their
workers will accept arbitration.
An extensive advertising campaign
is to be waged in the newspapers and

deavor to arouse sentiment that will

AS soon as the demands of the
workers are made the railroads will
present their side in tabular statistical
form, showing former increases in
wages and general benefits the work
ers have enjoyed year after year, or as
often as they have asked for better
hours or more wages.
These details are being guarded
closely at the present time and will be
launched after the vote has been
counted in Chicago about March 1.
After the demands are presented the
railroads will have thirty days in
which to reply. During the period
of consideration" the publicity cam
.paign will be let go.
Managers of the fifty-two Eastern
roads have employed Frank Fayant as
their publicity director. Offices have
been opened in the Grand Central Ter

TRAINS HIS GOLDFISH TO
ANSWE> THE DINNER BELL

Marion, O., Feb. edwin p.
Haughton, local natural scientist, to-
day informed the world that goldfish
have brains. Haughton owns an aqua
rum of trained goldfish which he says
he has educated from a naturally low
mentality to a high state of intellec-
tuality. thereby proving that goldfish
have brains if one just takes the trou-
BILE to develop 'em.
Haughton has trained his goldfish
to answer the dinner bell. When he
rings, the fish dart to the surface,
their mouths wide open for their daily
feed. Haughton's aquarium IS made
of concrete. twelve feet in diameter
and several feet in depth.
In the course of long period Of
instruction. Haughton says, the fish
were taught to come to the surface
in summer and to hole in the ice in
winter, by the ringing of a tiny bell.
This is one of many evidences of men,
tality that Haughton says the fish
show.

one of those who is unwilling to grant
many things of accomplishment to the
present Democratic government. l be
lieve in their banking legislation. in
their tariff legislation and IN their child
labor law. but against all these place
the one fact that a man like President
Wilson, cognizant rs he must be as a
Southerner, of the unfortunate. contra.
dictory, absolutely impossible political
situation In the Southern United States
has nevertheless remained silent and
indeed broken his own promises rather
than to interfere.
The present political arrangement in
the South cannot endure. A change
must come. The South today by count
ing the Negro population as basis of
representation and DISTINGUISHING it al
the polls exercises greater political pow
er in a greater nation than it did be
fore the war. The question. therefore.
before us is shall this be changed by
quiet, reasonable thought along the
lines of democratic development rs
shown by world history of .,e last
hundred years, or are we going to con
tinue to treat the so-called Negro prob
lem in silence. allow a president like
Mr.. Wilson to dodge 1t, keep it out of

Take. for instance the presidential
election Of 1912. and let us compare
South Carolina and Massachusetts,, two
hereditary friends. To choose her
eighteen electors Massachusetts cast
4SS, 156 votes; South Carolina cast only
SO,3zS votes. but for these she sent
nine electors to the electoral college
This means that the South Carolinian
cast hve votes to the New Englander's
| one.
To this we may add the following
facts:
Georgia and New Jersey each had 5
electors. Georgia cast 121.532 votes
for hers; New Jersey cast 432, 534 votes
for hers.
Louisiana, casting 1892 votes, had
10 electors: Rhode Island, casting IT,
624 votes. had electors: Oregon, cast

Kansas and Mississippi each had 10
electors. Kansas cast 365.444 votes for

hers.
Alabama and Minnesota each had 10
electors. Alabama cast 117.SSS votes

her 45 electors. Georgia d4. South
Carolina 90, Alabama q2). and Missis-

Each white voter in the South casts
from 8 to 13 votes to each Northern
mans one vote.
Congress has just convened with the
South still in the saddle. still leaders
on the floor and heading all important
committees. Why? Because in the
congressional election of 1914 equa,
representation under the laws was q

WHY the South

Consider our present political cam.
paign: we hear OF Mr.. Hughes speak
Ing in California. Wisconsin, Maine
and even in Tennessee: we hear of Mr.
Wilson speaking in New Jersey. iii
nois and Kansas and he might go to
Kentucky. but we do not even conceive
OF these or any other candidates speak
ing In Louisiana, Mississippi or In
Georgia. There is no presidential cam
paign In those States: there can be no
presidential campaign. They are MS
much outside Republican government
In this nation as though they were sep
arated by a Chinese wall; they are a
province outside the United States;
they are not part of our political
machinery and yet in spite OF the fact
that they are thus silently but definite
'ly and irretrievably outlawed they
have a voice In the administration of
our government far more potent than
that OF any other section Of the Union
Comparisons showing this have often
been made, but It will not perhaps be
out OF place to remind you Of q few
comparisons based upon the election a.
