SENATOR BENET AND SUFFRAGE

The Columbia Record understands
that the fate of the woman's suffrage
resolution in the United States SEN
ate is in the hands of Senator Chris
tie Benet, of South Carolina. eff
''the resolution should pass the sch
ate by one vote; if he votes no, it
will be lost
That is a rather important posi-
tion in which the young senator has
been thrown. He was appointed to
the senate to succeed the late Sena-
tor Tillman by Governor Manning.
his appointment being for a period
of only s:x months. Many people
were of opinion that the appoint
ment was merely an honorary one
and that new man. in the Office for
so short time could not be expected
to fill very important place. Yet
if the Records assumption is correct.
Senator Benet will perform a very
large duty not alone to South Caro-
lima, but to the nation. The ques-
ton OF the right of the women to
vote cannot be handled lightly A
mistake in granting the privilege
and responsibility would be a costly
one, while. on the other hand, if
the women are entitled to the fran
Chise, it would be very serious
mistake not to grant It. Therefore,
Senator Benet probably finds him
self in a difficult, as well as i'm
portant, position.
The News, being a sufrra gist.
sui generis. is not over-enthusiastic
over the proposition; that Is. feel!

1t may be taken for granted that
the request Governor Manning of
South Carolina has made on Presi-
dent Wilson to set no price for the
Of cotton until after the
governor may have had a conference
with the President is based on the
fact that the governor has some in
formation of value to the guidance
of President Wilson which he desires
to submit before action is taken in
a matter Of such weighty conse-
QuenccS not only to the South but to
the whole country. Governor Man
ming is probably moved to this re-
sort by reason of the published re-
port that the secretary of agricul-
ture had recommended 25 cents as a
fair price. The very possibility that
President Wilson might be Influenced
by an opinion of that sort was suffi-
cient to give a concern that would
carry almost any Southern governor

to stave off calamity of the sort

ENTAILS MUCH WORK.

The readjustment of a mailing list
the orders of the War Industries
Board for a cash-in-advance system
after October l entails much great
er amount of work than the average
reader imagines. The work of act
ually collecting the accounts is only
a small part. The lists l. lst be
checked and re-checked to eliminate
as far as possible the errors which
naturally creep in here and there
We find some who have paid for a
longer period than that for which
they have been credited. 1t is the
most natural thing in the world for
these to get worried with the paper
and they sometimes storm down upon
us in their wrath and demand the re-
turn of their money. We are always
glad to correct any errors that un-
fortunately creep into our transac-
tions and it is but natural that some
mistakes should be made.
On the first OF October The News
must take every name from its lists
whose date is not in advance of Oc-
tober 1. This is the requirement of
the War Industries Board and must
ne complied with. 1t is one of the
twelve rules laid down by the board
for the conduct of the newspapers
and it is not question of the conse-
quenccs should a newspaper refuse to
comply, but question of patriotism
and loyalty TO the government. The
News has tried to reach every sub
Scriber, through notices mailed and
through announcements in the paper.
and the response has been gratifying.
though there are a hundred or more
yet to be heard from between this
date and October l. We hope to
hear from these, but if their papers
fail to come after the first of Octo-
Der. 1t will be their fault not ours.
If you want your paper continued.
the best thing to do is turn to your
label on the front page. and if it is
not advance of October 1, send your
remittance by the next mail. This
will insure you not missing a single
copy, provided the remittance reaches
the office not later than October /.

Civil War Taxes.


1t may be of interest to our read

which became law July 1, 1862. II
was an act so comprehensive and
searching as TO remind several wri-

famous account OF British taxation

view," January, 1S2O). Under this
act, distillers of spirits, breyers Of
ale, beer and porter, all manufacture

manufactures and articles were tax

MIR. HoovERs PREDICTION.

Food Administrator Hoover says
Germany can be beaten by the sum-
mer Of 1919, "if every man, woman
and child in the United States tests
every action every day and hour by
the one touchstone-'does This or
that contribute to winning the
war;"
The end of the war cannot be fore
seen and grounds for belief that it
Will end at a stated time are gem
orally conspicuously absent But Mr..
Hoover's proviso carries with it such
force as cannot be easily overcome.
ITO attain the victory sought" he
says. lover 3,50O,OO0 fighting Yanks
must be placed in France; we must
supply the creates mechanical
equipment ever given an army; we
must provide ships for our army and
to do this cut down imports o, su ..
gar. coffee and tropical fruits; we
must keep the allied civil population
in ample food by shipping this year
1 100000 tons more meats, fats.
dairy products, etc, than last year.
3,600,000 tons more breadstuffs.
100000 tons more feed grains. and
every family in the United States
must study its food budget. to see If
it cannot buy less, serve less, re-
turn nothing to the kitchen, and
practice the gospel of the clean
plate"
AID Mr.. Hoover makes another
statement that will ring in the ears
Of the man who is not doing his
part: IF all this is done, and the
war ends in 1919, we will save mil
ion American lives that will be ex-
pended If we have to continue until
1920.' That statement is pertinent
to every man, to every woman and
to every child. and ought to bring
forth the best effort to aid the gov
ernment in every possible way.
Mr.. Hoovers prediction is quite
worthy of consideration, and the
premium of a million American lives
saved will amply repay all the sac
rifices, all the work, all the money
that the army here at home put into
the war.

Women I'm Industry.

With thousands upon thousands OF
women working in the ammunition
plants, the mills and factories and
shops and everywhere. during war
times, it is only natural to ask "will
they want to continue when the men
come home?" And II is also nat
ural enough to ask whether or not
they are getting the same pay as was
accorded the men whose places they
took. The answers to both ques-
tions are easy-the women will, as a
rule, be glad to leave this unusual
and often strenuous work, when the
men come home and while they are
