At Pomaria, on July %, 1917, in a
speech about which so much has been
said, and which | wish every man in
the state of South Carolina could
read, again stated my position as to
the declaration of war, but said "Do
not misunderstood me- We are now
III this war and must push it to a sue
cessful conclusion. The might of tho
nation must be thrown towards bring
ing 1T to an end at the earliest posi-
bic moment. And let us all pray God
that it may be brought to a success

offered my services, once we we're in
IL, and offered to raise q regiment or
brigade and would have done SO had |
been permitted. But that kind of regi-
ment or brigade, with officers elected
by those whom they were to command,
was not desired by the powers that be
IN South Carolina. The reception with
which my offer met bears out my
statement that today In South Caro-
lima we live under limited monarchy,
selfish and self-secking, in which the
| people have no voice They tell us that
we are fighting war for world de.

Ina men now to begin fight for state
democracy in South Carolina-for the
taking back from the hands of the
people their own government"
That entire speech was published in
those papers favorable to me, but the
newspapers which are and have been
bitterly fighting and misrcprescnting
me distorted extracts from it for the
purpose of putting me in false light.
II those papers want to be fair and
honest, nothing would give me more
pleasure than to furnish them the
complete speech, and let them publish

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"Our boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes! This is a
familiar appeal now to all of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
}avorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
OF the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. ''It's toasted" was the "slo.
gan" that made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than a year.

Prepare for Fourth
Liberty Loan Drive
Managers VIII Base Campaign
on Work of Soldiers
In France

Although the opening Of the fourth
Liberty loan drive is more than two
months away, preparations to see the
campaign over the top are rapidly near
ing completion, according to Frank R.
Wilson,, director of publicity of the
Liberty Loan department Of the Treas
ury Department, who was in New York
yesterday.
"There were probably never before
so many purchasers of a single COM
modify in so short time as there
were of the last Liberty Loan" said
Mr.. Wilson at the Park Avenue Hotel.
But in the coming drive we will 20
way beyond where we went in June,
when 100000 people became holders
of government bonds.
"a feature of the new drive will be
the part our soldiers have taken and
will take in France. 1t is too early to
announce the role they are finally to
take, but we are not overlooking the
tact that no appeal to buy bonds can
carry the weight Of their appeal, and
we are preparing to utilize that fact in
very convincing way.
Our campaign, in the main is
mapped out; from now on it's case of
cleaning up the odds and ends. Incl
dentaily, the people Of the country have
real treat in store for them when
they see what has been done in the way
of the poster appeal. The artists from
coast to coast have outdone themselves
and the loan committee has given them
q free rein"

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund

You'll be glad to know that some
escaped the discomforts of yesterday in
'he city. Better than that, they were
those who should have escaped it if
any dld-6b0 little lads and lassies of
the poorest tenement districts of New
York.
They were the boys and girls whom
the contributors to the Tribune Fresh
AIT Fund sent to the country to begin
vacations far from the terrors of hot
days IN their crowded city homes. Some
OIL them went far up into the northern
part of New York, some a lesser dis
tance to the foothills of the Bcrkshires
IN Connecticut, some stopped still
nearer the city in the hills of Westches
Yer County. but they all escaped great
things you never dreame d
Of.
DISCOMFORTS is n very mild word
Tor what they escaped.
nave you ever been in typical tene-
ment on day like yesterday? Would
you use 'discomforts" as word to de-
scribe what the mothers and children
VINO are lnterncd in such place have
to bear up under?
Discomfort Not the Word
But you've probably never been in
such place. Most people who live
normal lives never have reason to climb
their unpleasant stairways and enter
their choked rooms. You think of the
tenement dwellers' discomforts in
terms of your own. You call them dis
comforts--and T'I, let it go at that.
What you should do is to take the
things you suffer when the thermome
ter is above 80 and the humidity near
ly as high, add them together into an
unpleasant total and square the figure
and then get the cube of that. The
resultant figure would make an approxi-
mate exponent for the intensity Of the
"discomfort" that prevails on a dav like
yesterday in the swarming tenements
from which the Tribune Fresh Ali
Funds $50 escaped yesterday.
People who have been in the tone
ments on such days know that this is
not exaggeration. Hundreds of investi
places "hellS" "infernos," pest holes
and been believed in an academic sort
of way. But if the publc's assent to
such terms were not merely academic
the tencments would have been swept
from the face OF the city years ago
for no human and convinced body po-
little would ever permit the things that
have been described hundreds of times
and accurately described-to con
tinue in its midst

an academic matter to The Tribune

On the Screen
Louise Claum Turns From
"Vamp" to Simple Lass
in "Wedlock"

A rousing oldtime medodrama is on
the screen at the Symphony Theatre
this week, and people who like that
sort of play are going 70 like We'd

Louise Glaum, plays the innocent hero

All of the characters play we'll up to
form and the action is swift from the
time the man she loves wrongs her in
the first reel until she rights him in
the last.
The story proves that though it is
the woman who pays, AMI ditto, and
ditto, true woman's love will reform
any one if she will alternate the left
and the right cheek often enough.
We know Miss Glaum and we know
that she is net at all vampirish, and
yet we like her best in those roles.
Somehow cha fails to De convincing
when she falls secretly in love and
breaks her heart over a man.
There is young man named Gilbert

falls in love with a Hello" girl and
marries her. Now, his is a proud and

tolerate the idea of such a mesal!iance,
so he says: "All right, mamma. l shall
allow you to annul the marriage" And
it is done very soon. but not quite soon
enough.
Presently Marjorie returns to the
ancestral home and says, tearfully;
"Our family will soon be increased by
one"
Now, the mother-in-law is just the
kind always found in the movies, and
she fails 20 tell Gilbert. From what
we saw of the young man we do not
believe he would have known what she
meant if she had.
So Marjorie goes away, and suffers
in silence, and becomes rich, and
rescues Gilbert from the gutter after
he has escaped from prison, where he
has been falsely interned. And thus is
virtue rewarded.
