It is doubtless a relief to Presi-
dent Wilson to discover he did not
originate the "peace-without-victory''
phrase. 1t was beginning to hound
him in the same manner that his
extemporaneous masterpiece, "too
proud to fight" did two years ago.
He ought to write letter of thanks
to Frederic Harrison, of London, for
digging up" the historical fact that
Emperor Pedro of Brazil addressed
a memorial to Lincoln during the
civil war, saying that both North and
South would have to be content with
"peace without victory" and waxing
eloquent over the rights of neutrals
and Of humanity. Possibly Wood
row Wilson read that phrase as a
schoolboy and it just bobs up now
in the major channel of his thought.
1t is no more than a sensational liter
ary coincidence; no one would ac-
cuse the President of plagiarism in
any degree.

CLERK POINTS OUT FACTS.
Answers Charges of Senator Bor-
land Against Pay Increase.


land Against Pay Increase.
Editor The washing gton Herald-I am
neither Daniel Webster nor a cultured
lnguist, but a simple government clerk,
or 'taxeater," as our good friend, Rep
resentative Borland calls US.
In the past have paid little attention
to the tactics of Congress concerning the
matter of increases for Federal employees,
because I am firm believer in the fact
that sooner or later the good qualities of
man will be found out, but when
Representative or Senator belittles the
government clerks who are trying to earn
an honest living, as Representative Bor-
land has done, there should De protests
on the part of the clerks. l would like
to ask Representative Borland II he has
made a thorough investigation Of the
clerical forces In the Federal offices at
Washington? Surely he has not, but on
the other hand shuts his eyes whenever
the actual conditions are being disclosed.
The writer has been in the Federal serv-
ice for nearly four years. and 1t is my
purpose to make the following statements
with the hope of disillusioning any mem
ber of Congress who is of the same opin-
ion and caste as Representative Borlano.
1t is the actual physical needs OF the
clerks, as well as the best interests Oh
the service. that demand consideration.
And If Congress does grant increases,
obviously the government will not be
total '1oser,' because 1t will serve as
a stimulus to the clerk. This point can
be illustrated by the following: The writer
was first employed as a copyist in the
Patent Office at $50 per month; my du-
ties were copying patent records, for
which the government received 81 per
1000 words copied. My average for sew
eral months was around 1900 and 1900
words per day, which meant a gross
earning of $12 or s14 per day for my
services as against salary Of 81 Der day.

What the President said seems to
have surprised and to have greatly i'm
pressed the assembled Senators. Sena-
tor La Toilette is said to have exclaimed
when the speech was ended; I'VE have
Just passed through a very important
hour in the life Of the world" The Sena-
tor from Wisconsin evidently expects the
speech to bear results. But that is
doubtful. The angry nations in Europe
are not In a mood to heed what Presi-
dent Wilson urges, and a strong senti-
ment in the United States will still be
averse to complcating this country in
any kind of "entangiing alliance" with
the nations of Europe for whatever pur-
pose.-Nashville Banner.

The gentlemen on Capitol Hill
grab another chance to take fling
at Washington, this time criticising
those hotel and rooming-house keep
crs who raise their rates during the
inaugural period A good many words
could be said in defense of either side
Of the question, but the fact remains
that rates for transients will always
be higher, whether in this city or
any other. If the members of Con-
gress would probe the rates charged
in other cities during exposition and
convention times, they would find
that Washington is very moderate in
its charges.

SENDS GREETINGS TO KAISER.

President Wilson yesterday cabled
birthday congratulations to Wilhelm III.
Emperor of Germany. The message was
of the same formal character as all con-
gratulatory dispatches sent to the heads
Of the belligerent powers since the out
break of the European war Previous %
the beginning Of hostilities abroad 1t was
the custom for the Presidents of the
United States TO inject a personal phrase
or so into these birthday messages, but
yesterday the demands of strict neu-
trality'' forbid deviation from an estab-
ltahed and universal form.

Now it is proposed to create another
prison for Kansas and call it a "Deten-
ton Home" for women. Kansas has
more prisons now than it can take care
of. Before it builds another one it should
rebuild the one at Lansing and remove
the shame of that institution from the
State. If Kansas will rebuild that prison
and make 1t a fit place in which to keep
human beings, and place it under the
right kind of arrangement, a proper place
may be created there for women who
really need to be sent to prison.-Kansas

Clemson College, December A.
Under the direction Of Fred W Hof
Mann, field agent in marketing. the
extension division of Clemson COL
lege is now issuing a market circular
Using agricultural products that are
wanted or that are for sale. Mr.
Hof Mann has been striving hard to
get this service established several
years ago. but finances would not
permit.
Up to the first of next year this
circular will be issued irregularly,
depending upon the number Of re-
quests that come into this office.
After that time, however. this cir
cuIar will be issued weekly.
The purpose of this market circu-
lar is to offer means of marketing
South Carolina agricultural pro-
ducts. No responsibility will be as
sumed for the quality of these pro-
ducts nor will this Office guarantee
moral standing for any of those
whose name appear on the list. An

Chickens Inherit Good and Bad Traits.
Clemson College, December A.
1t has been proven that criminal
tendencies are inherited. and that
crime runs in families. If it were
not true that the laws of heredity
were evident in the culture of chick
ems. there would be no possibility of
breeding with any assurance of OBJ
tanning a desired color, size or shape.
While the chickens are maturing
and their Distinguishing character
istics are asserting themselves. be
on the look out for bad characters
and weed out the undesirables. The
bully is pressing a tendency that
was born in her. She interferes
with the contentment of the flock
and keeps the rest in a continual
state of excitement. This in turn
affects their laying, their appear
ance and their health, and she
should be dealt with drastically.
The feather-puller and the egg-eater
are in the same class, and they
should all go the same road-to the
market.
