Not Hard Trick to Teach.

N appears rather wonderful to 50 . dog shut the door at a word of com. mand, but 1t h quite simple trick. Is works best with rather large dog. Go to a door that swings easily and oet it about six inches open. Then bai- ance biscuit on the handle and draw the dogs attention to 1t, saying, "Shut the door" He will paturally jump against the door to get the biscuit, and his weight will shut 1t. Then praise him for 1t. By doing this several times . day he will gradually get to associate the action with the words "Shut the door," and will do the trick when told. even though there is no biscuit in evs' dence.

Under the government management of
the railroads. the passenger trains are
being curtailcd and chair cars and Pull
mans are being taken off.
Along with the Pullmans was the one
which Iran between Charleston and
Greenville. That was natural, we sup
pose, but we can not let the statement go
unehallenged that the train never car
ried over an average Of six passengers
Cay. We do not believe that the rec
ord will bear out this statement. It is
about on a par with the statement of a
railroad commissioner when this Pull
man was removed once before, that he
thought it was an interstate train. Or
rather it develops about the same knowl-
edge of the facts. The last time we were
on this train every seat and berth was
occupied, and every time we have been
ON it it had a number of passengers.
But these are war times and the fuel
and power must now be conserved and
used to haul the necessities of life, and
all luxuries and comforts must be cut
out. We just mention this so that the
facts may be kept straight as to the
only Pullman we had coming this way.

Columbia, Jan. 6.--The appropriations
TO be asked of the coming legislature by
the heads Of the executive departments
Of the State government and State in
stitutions will amount of $3,442 ,073.7l,
as shown by the estimate filed with
Comptroller General Sawyer, who to-
night completed compilation of the
estimates for the general assembly
which meets on Tuesday This is an in
crease Of over $3.50, ,20S.21 over the ap-
propriations Of 1917, and would require
a levy of nine and three-fourths mills,
as against the 1917 levy of eight and
one-half mills.
The appropriation bill for 1917 carried
$2,995,S46.77. The revenue for 1917,
under the levy fixed by the general as
sembIy, will exceed the appropriations
. by the sum of $S2,126. If all the appro-
priations are made for 1918 as asked
for, however, it will require an increase
in the State levy of one and one-fourth
mills.
It was necessary this year to borrow
about 81, 100000 in anticipation of the
collection Of taxes, and it will be neces-
sary the coming year, according to the
statement filed with the legislature, by
the comptroller general, to borrow a
similar amount to meet the current ex-
penses Of the government before the
taxes reach the State treasury.
The biggest increase asked for is by
The department Of education, for public
schools. The appropriation for this de-
partment last year was $444,100 This
year 1861, 100 is asked for-an increase
of $4,000.
Winthrop college, which wants a new
dormitory, is asking for $216, ,244 10 this
year, as against an appropriation of
$l30,972.4l last year-an increase of
$s5,371.99. :
The next largest increase asked for is
by the University of South Carolina,
which this year wants $185,o57.S0, as
against an appropriation last year of
$123,75S.15.
The State Hospital for the Insane is
asking for $41, ,496.17 more this year
than last year. The total asked for this
year is $616,496.17.

submitted would have meant the loss OF
country, loss of liberty, loss of honor.
Our children, along with those in Bel
GUM, Northern France, Poland and
other conquered lands, would have be-
come slaves, and our women would have
been compelled to submit to the bestial
passions of the soldiers of the Kaiser.
Our right to share in free government
would have been lost, and militarisR
directed by the iron hand of one man
would have taken its place. Rights ON
land and sea would have been lost;
freedom and patriotism would have been
dead. What more need be said to South
Carolinians, part and parcel of Ameriea9
We are proud Of our country, jealous
of our institutions, devoted to our lib
erty, and will die to defend our rights.
Today our patriotism burns with a new
light, and our country stands united be-
hind our president and our government.
Together we will fight for all we hold
dear till an honorable victory and last
ing peace to mankind shall prevail.
There are men who oppose our prog
ress in the war, who, to weaken our
armies, seek to delay their progress, to
block the highways by which our
armies are fed, or to hamper the high
authorities responsible for their eff
cheney. These men are not asserting
their freedom difference of judgment.
Let them remember that they serve in
one army or the other. Every man in
America must give his whole-hearted
10 mi IN,
way, or he supports our enemies by
hanging back, and is, therefore, fighting
Tor Germany. These men are traitors,
the Constitution gives them this name,
and they should receive their punish
ment To the superficial observer it
may seem strange that we align our
selves with England, from whom we won
our independence, and that England
should not be side by side with France,
who helped US then. To some with mem
cries of the sixties it may seem strange
to hail soldiers of South Carolina as SOL
diers Of the United States. But all clears
up when we recall when England op-
pressed us, we fought her; when the
Union threatened local rights we were
the first to take up arms, and now when
freedom everywhere is in danger we
rush in with our hosts of united coun-
trymen to join Britain and to
join France in striking a death
blow at that mighty tyrant who
darkens the world, and is world-men-
ace That blow will be struck and
struck mortally To make sure of it we
must do our part here, as our soldiers
will do theirs beyond the seas. To this
great work, with all it's urgency, I now
commend you. May God give us the
strength, the vision, the wisdom and
the courage to do our duty.

EST7NA TE,S FOR STATE CALL
FOR LEVY NEARLY TEN MILLS
Schools and Colleges All Ask Increased Appropriations
State Borrowed Million and Half Last Year.

The amount required for elections this
year will, of course, be considerably
larger than last year-this being gen
eral election year The increase in this
item amounts to $44,075.
The South Carolina Industrial School
at Florence is this year asking for $S7,
500, an increase of $36,555 over last
year.
The State Colored College, the School
for the Deaf and Blind and the Public
Service of Clemson college are also ask
ing for increases ranging around twenty
to twenty-five thousand dollars.
The two State institutions located at
Charleston-the Citadel and the South
Carolina Medical college-are both ask
ing for larger appropriations. Last year
the Medical college received $39, $50.
This year it is asking for s5O,62o. The
Citadel wants $4,000 this year, as
against $44,2SO last year, an increase of
$l9,920.
The State health department is asking
for an increase this year of 27,0S0.
These are the principal increases
asked for.
The total taxable property of the
State, at its assessed valuation, is $3l9,-
637972. In addition to the amount re-
ceived by taxation, the State has an es-
timated income for 1918, from other
sources, of s351 ,o50.
1t is upon these figures that the comp
troller general bases his estimate that
levy of nine and three-quarters mills
will be required for 1913 if all the ap-
! ! preparations are made as asked for.
What the legislature will do with the
increases requested, and with the whole
matter of taxation, it is impossible to
predict. The estimates made by the
comptroller general do not, of course,
| include such extraordinary appropria-
tions as the $4,000 to be asked for by
the State council of defense; the 100000
to be asked for to establish home for
the feeble-minded, and other requests
which, if granted, would run the appro-
| priation bill several hundred thousand
dollars greater than the aggregate Of
| the estimates filed with the comptroller
general.

If there has been session of the leg
islature since the establishment Of Win
throp college that we did not hear that
there was urgent need of new dormi-
tory and that hundreds of young women
were turned away each year because
there was not dormitory room, we do
not recall it. A whole lot of those girls
who can not be admitted could not enter
the college class if there were ever SC
much dormintory room. If the State
wants to do more for education, better
furnish and equip better high schools
and pay the teachers in the common
schools better salary and run these
schools for longer terms. Winthrop is
a good institution and has done a good
work in the education Of the girls of
the State, but there is no use to turn
it into high school

One of the most sensible orders or
kilograms that we have seen or heard
recently is one from Provost Marshal
Growder when he telegraphed that local
boards were expected to exercise some
common sense in their deliberations and
DECISIONS. Too often is it the case that
this very important thing or factor is
missing from people who are in positions
Of authority.

How does it strike you to double the
assessed valve of your property and at
the same time double the tax levy for
State purposes2 That is about what the
budget means if carried out. The State
borrowed more money last year to meet
current expenses than it took only few
years ago to run the government. OF
course the State is growing, but the ex-
pense account is outgrowing the State.

Several of the newspapers are talking
about the service of the" "postofice de-
partment, or rather lack of service. For
several months we have been sending
copies of The Herald and News to some
of our. boys who are somewhere in
France. Only the other day Mr.. J. S.
Buckley received a letter from his son,
Lieutenant W. E. Buckley, in which it
was stated that he had received only one
copy of The Herald and News and re-
ceived thai some time in December and
it bore date October 8. The greatest
trouble with the department is it is too
efficient, but it is an efficiency which
does not give service, and it is the worst
kind of efficiency. And we had let
ter from our boy over here at Camp
Sewer and he had not received a copy
of thepaper for a month and it has been
mailed from here regularly every issue
that has been printed. But we have
quit complaining and are going along
trying to do our part as best we can
and leaving the balance to take care of
itself. That is all de can do. The post
Office department never has paid any
attention to the statutes of the congress.
It has promulgated its own rules and
regulations regardless of the statute law
and so far as the running Of the depart
nent these rules and regulations have
been in effect the law.

JUMPS
 RIGHT INTO FIGHT
Spends Entire Day and Night in Conference With
 Members of Congress

Washington, January 9. - Colonel Roosevelt came to town today and re- ceived steady stream of callers at the home of his daughter, Mrs Nicholas Longworth.
 The colonel frankly branded his pur- pose in coming to the capital now was to help speed up the war and confer with friends in Congress. He disclaimed any purpose of replying to Senator Stones speech in the Senate yesterday.
 T am infinitely less interested in what Senator Stone says about me than In what the President says about Senator Chamberlain" said Colonel Roosevelt.
 'The national motto at this time should be, Tell the truth and speed up the war, :" he continued. My purpose in coming here is to help by any means within my power to render more speedy and more effective America s entrance into the war; for, though, we have been at war nearly a year, we haven't yet really entered into it.
 ..I also wish to aid in backing Sena- tor Chamberlain and Representatives Madden and Kahn in their fight for uni versal military training. These gentle men and their followers are performing a great public service.
 Colonel Roosevelt later made this brief additional statement:
 q am here to help every man who sincerely desires to speed up and make effective our work in the war. That is, both the affirmative and the negative side, to stand by the efficient man, and against the negligible man" Before he leaves town, later in the .t xxtfll ,a1~ o statement on the conduct of the war. Tonight he called in republican con gressional leaders for conference, which began with dinner at the home of Rep resentative Longworth and lasted until far into the night.

DENMAN SAYS HE
 IS MISREPRESENTED
Says Press Made it Appear That He Was Welded to Wooden Ship
 building Plan

Washington. January 22.-william Den- man, former chairman of the shipping board. told the Senate commerce commit tee today that his position regarding wooden ships had been misrepresented to the public He declared the press had "overplayed our hand in the matter of wooden ships" and said the impress sion that the board was devoted to a wooden shipbuilding policy only had done more to harm ship extension to this coun- try than anything else.
 MT. Denman denied that the row be- tween himself and Major General Goe- thals had prevented the communicating of 15 vessels built in this country for for eign account, but said delay by Congress in enacting necessary legislation pre- vented the taking over of IS such ves- sels
 "The public had the opinion that we were trying to build up wooden ships and run down the value of steel ves- sells" Dennan said
 The real situation was he wanted ad- ditional tonnage. he added, and thought wooden ships the best way to get it.
