Peace Message

Rome-A plea for lasting peace is
made by Pope Benedict in his Easter
message which he sends through the
Associated Press. The message says
"The first message of the risen Sa-
viour to His disciples after suffering
the torture of Passion Week, was
Peace be unto you Never has the
world for which He sacrificed Himself

peace as today.
"On this solemn occasion 10 better

ton of the desire of all, that is, a
healing Of the existing hatred and the
concluding of lasting peace based
on the foundations Of justice, fear of
God and love of humanity, giving to
the wol ID new organization of peo-

CHINA PASSES
NEW TARIFF LAW

Peking-A bill for the revision of
tariff on imports from all countries
other than those with which China
has treaty provisions has been passed
by the Chinese government and will
go Immediately into effect. The bill
divides commodities into four classes
as follows: Luxuries, the rate on
which shall be from 80 to 100 per cent
Semi--luxuries, from 20 to 80 per cent;
raw materials, 10 to 20 per cent, and
necessities, Is to 10 per cent. The ac-
tual determination Of rates for each
Of the four classes is in the hands of a
committee which will be appointed
from the boards Of finance, agricul-
ture and commerce and custom.
Neither this new law nor the COM
mittee about to be formed has any
connection with the international
Commission for the Revision of the
Maritime Customs Duties now sitting
in Shanghai. The latter is working
on the treaty agreements made by
China with the United States and cer-
tain other nations originally in 1853
and revised in 1902. Steady increase
in the prices Of numerous articles i'm
ported has resulted in corresponds
ing decrease in the effective rates of
duty and loss in revenue, condition
that could not be remedied by the CHI
nese government on account Of an
agreement concluded with the foreign

1917 IN THE PHILIPPINES

IT was pretty lively gait that 1917
lea US, says the Philippine Free Press,
and it looks as if the world is going to
nave still livelier whirl during 1918.
however, we are getting accustomed
to accelerated motion, and what our
forcfathcrs would have accounted as
fast and giddy and brcathIess is by us
deemed rather slow Each year, it
seems, sees a speeding up, a tighten
ing or higher gears, resolve to
smash all past records, and general
reckl2ssness and Willingness to take
the consequences.
Here in the Philippines we have
been caught up in the common whirl
and are going faster than ever be-
fore. Automobiles are multiplying at
an astonishing rate; an aviation corps
has been organized and aeroplanes
with their $50 miles an hour will soon
be humming overhead; then we have
our National Guard and are talking
Big OF patrol on The Mexican border
or fluttcr in the great game in Eu-
rope; Japanese and Hawaiian capital
lists are coming to our shores and spy
ing out the land and finding it very
good; fortunes are being made in cop-
ra, and in cocoanut oil, and soon we
shall have our sugar barons and our
hemp barons and our tobacco barons;
we are beginning to feel like a little
world power, offering our destroyer
and our submarines to the United
States; and on every hand we are
making more money than ever before.
We have kicked the lid off our curren-
cy, and generally we arc experiencing
such prosperity as these islands have
never known.
The year just passed brought flush
times to the Philippines. What the
year now opening has in store only
the gods know. But all indications
point to another such bumper twelve
months as those just closed, the only
cloud on the horizon being the lack or
possible lack Of shipping to carry out
our products and bring us merchan-
disc in return. And even that cloud
doesn't look very menacing.

flee has requested the Shanghai COM
mission to impose a surtax on import
duties sufficient to make the amount
equal to the nromal rate of per cent
ad valorem, and the allied ministers
have unanimously indorsed the re-

be authorized to fix the amount of the
surtax before the work Of general tar

Action for the greater protection

time to go into this subject at the

Associated with Assistant Attorney

Associated with Assistant ATTORNEY
General Sapp, at Spartanburg, on the
argument of the case, was Mr.. Charl-
ton DuRant, senator from Clarendon
county and one of the prohibition
leaders of the senate, who appeared
for the constitutionality of the ac,.
The Sumter probate judge is repre-
sented by Col. Dan S. Henderson, Of
Aiken.
The grounds upon which the con-
stitutionality Of the act is attacked
are concisely set out in the order of
Probate Judge Richardson, of Sum.
ter, refusing to grant the permit in
issue as follows:
"On March II, 1918, Mr. Singleton
Bradford filed in this court the orig
inal application for liquor permit at,
tached to this order. On said day re-
fused to issue the said permit, and
addressed him letter The original
of which is attached to the order. In.
asmuch as in said letter | stated that
was satisfied Of the truth of each
statement in his affidavit, but being
of the opinion that the act of the gen.
eral assembly under which the permit
is asked is unconstitutional, now re-
iterate said statement as to believing
the truth of the facts stated in said
application, and | find that said facts
are true, this being gathered from
questions put to Mr.. Bradford, and
from which | have made inquiry. am
of the opinion, and so find that sec
ton 10 of the quart a. month act, ap-
proved the 18th of February, 1918, is
unconstitutional for the following rca.
sons:
81. Section II, Of article 3 of the
constitution requires that "every act
or resolution having the force of law
shall relate to but one subject, and
that shall be expressed in the title"
and said amendatory act in its title
provides for further regulating the
issuance of permits" and this being
the subject of the act, the body of the
act goes further, after providing Tor
the issuance of permits, and enacts q
criminal offensc against the probate
judges who may be mistaken in their
views as to the truth of petitions pre-
sented to them, and this being so ii
seems to ne that the act is unconsti-
tutional according to the aforesaid
section of the constitution.
"2. In article S of the constitu
tiOn known as the judiciary article,
section 19, thereof rests in the court of
probate jurisdiction in all matters
testamentary and of administration,
in business pertaining to minors, and
the allotment of dover, in cases OF
idiocy and lunacy, and persons now
compos mentis" This is the constitu-
tional chart Of the court of probate,
yet the amcndatory quart-a-month
law goes further cnd rcsts in the court
of probate and it's judge the duty of
issuing liquor permits and passing
judicially upon the truth of the ap-
plication of parties. 1t seems to me
that this is going further than the
constitution permits, and that the
general assembly is prohibited
therefrom, and consequently that
said amendatory act is unconstitution.

Wherefore, it is ordered and adj
Judged that the application of Mr..
Bradford for the issuing Of a liquor
permit be and the same is hereby re-
fused"

BONE-DRY, UNSINKABLE,
AIRTIGHT PROHIBITION

Columbia, March 25.-That South
Carolina would have bone-dry, IRON
clad, bombproof, air-tlght, non-sink-
able prohibition, if one of the two
points raised by the judge of probate
of Sumter county as to the constitu-
tionality of the new quart month
act should be sustained by the courts,
is the opinion of some able lawyers
who have thoroughly looked into the
matter.
Probate Judge Richardson, in refus-
ing to issue permits in Sumter county,
takes the position that the new act is
unconstitutiona! on two grounds:
|. That the act violates the con-
stitution which requires that an act
shall relate to but one subject, and
that shall be expressed in tic title"
z. That the act exceeds the consti-
of judges of probate.
If the second ground should be sus-
talned, then the portions of the old
act of 1917, with reference to the issue
OF permits by probate judges, would
also be unconstitutional, and South
Carolina would be left high and dry,
with only the section Of the 1917 act
which makes it "unlawful for any per-
son, firm or corporation or company
to receive, store, keep or have in pos
session, or to ship, transport, or con
vey any alcoholic liquors from any
point in this state, or to deliver the
same to any person, firm, corporation
or company within this state, except
as hereinafter provided" the only
provisions which would be left being
as to liquor for hospitals, laborator-
les, making medicines, etc. The prl-
vate citizen would be limited to the
manufacture of not more than five
gallons Of homemade wine each year
for personal use or sacramental pur.
poses.
The outcome of the test case will
be watched with interest throughout
the state. Argument has been heard
by Judge Seasee. at Spartanburg, who
is expected to file decision within
few days AMI the case will th,n so to
the state. supreme court for final
adjudication.
