The wobblies who were deported from Bisbee a year ago are asking damages of $3,2S0,000 against the people who were indicted for running them out of town over into camp where the government had to feed them. The government had hard time of shaking them off when they found they were getting grub for nothing, for they felt that "the world owed them living" If the lazy, worthless, scum of the earth are en- titled to levy tribute from the people who are willing to earn living, then we believe that they should be paid the money they are suing for. They seem to have the idea that they should have a government wherein each in- dividual should enjoy full license and liberty to, follow his own particular idea of pleasure, regardless of the rights of his neighbor. The damn-fool producer and worker is the source of their supply and he should be made to keep it up-if there is any way to make him do it. "Why should a man work when his wife can take in wash ing?"

U. $. SHOULD TAKE OVER
 PAPERS.

The government bureaus now sug- gest that newspapers cut out all sam pie copies and exchanges. We earn estly wish that the bright young man who promulgated this idea would also insist that the government take over all newspapers on the same basis that railroads were, along with the tele- graph and telephone lines. The idea of cutting out exchanges is bright political stunt at that, for the differ ent departments could pull any kind of old stuff on one community with out the other folks in a different com munity finding it out for a long time. A town crier" would be good idea, too, but this may come later. How ever, the great big political idea would be to take over the newspapers of the country; then if any measley sucker desired to criticise the party in power, he would have to go and write it on a fence. This would be splendid job for Government Publicity Agent George Creel; he could keep the peo- pie thoroughly misinformed as to in- formation and they never could find out how much he was paid for his work.

 AS TAX COMMISSIONER

Rudolph Kuchler, Republican mem- Der of the state tax commission, ap- pointed to fill the unexpired term of Governor Campbell, will serve for an- other two years, according to deci- sion of Judge Frank Lyman in the Su- perior court recently. In an action brought by Andrew Baumert, secre- tary of the Republican state commit tee, to restrain Sidney Osborn, secre- tary of state, from putting nominees for tax commissioner on the ballot, Judge Lyman struck out Mir. Osborn's answer and made the injunction here- tofore granted permanent. Osborn was represented by F. c. Struck meyer. The Supreme court has ad- journed until fall, so that Osborn will have to be guided by Judge Lyman's decision in making up the ballot.

THE BREED, NOT THE MAN.

Field Marshal von Hindenburg is dead. He has gone where he has sent a million Germans before him--into the shallow grave. He was n years of age and most of that time was spent in figuring out the best methods of destroying the peoples of other countries. He is dead. Millions of Germans are dead or mutilated and worse than dead. All for crazy am- bition of the kaiser to control the world and make all bend the knee to him. Back of it all there must have been real God, not a mere German Gott, who has directed readjustment of world affairs, and He made it diff cult and at great cost so that it would more thoroughly impress itself upon the peoples of the earth.
 Peace cannot come until every vestage of kaiserism has vanished from the earth, but when peace does come there will be need for strong men to plan a future that men may live and grow into a great brother hood. Won Hindenburg is dead-he was but one of kind, the breed has

NO CHANGE.

Allan Benson, who was the Social ist party's candidate for the Presi- dency two years ago, has quit the party in disgust with what he calls it's non-Americanism. The outsider is unable to follow such fine distinctions. To the man in the middle of the road the Socialist party is mighty little diff ferent now from what it was in 1916. The only thing that has happened is that the war has thrown the acts of Socialism into a bolder relief.

"HOCH DER KAISER"

The following poem was recited by Captain Coghlan of the United States navy at a banquet of the Union League in New Yerk City in 1898. It was a time when considerable feeling existed between this country and Ger. many, due to the antagonistic attitude displayed by the German admiral when Dewey sailed into Manila Bay The poem created laugh all around the world, and the captain was repri- manded, though it was largely by way of formality: Der Kaiser of dis Fatherland Und Gott on high all dings command We two-ach! Don't you understand? |?

What seems to be the big thing in politics at the present time is to get Republicans to register as Democrats in order that they may be able to vote for some favorite candidate in the pri- mary election. It is to be regretted that Republicans or Democrats would lend themselves to any such schemes. Any person has right to change their mind, but he hasn't much of a mind when he commits perjury merely to mix in some other family affair, or for small money consideration. Both sides seem to be complaining bitterly of this condition of affairs.

THE pRoFITEERING CHARGES.

The report is not mealy-mouthed and does not mince matters. It uses the words "inordinate greed and bare faced fraud" l. talks about padded depreciations, increased salaries, new construction charged off as repairs, fictitious values on raw materials and manipulated inventories. It says that manipulations of the market went on without regard to law" It declares that the packers have prayed upon the people unconscientiously"-this in wartime, when the people were stint ing themselves on food, paying double prices for it under the impression that the war had caused the increase and, incidentally, giving up their best be- loved to danger, wounds and death.
 It is useless to read this language and pretend that what the report al- leges is an inadvertent and uninten- tional increase of profits. The report may be right or it may be wrong that is what every housewife wants to know-but it certainly means to say that these people employed deliberate, dishonorable and dishonest methods to coin the need of the plain people into swollen profits to be poured into their own bottomless pockets.
 There is no use trying to go on with the war in this way. This nation cannot be half patriot and half vam- pire. The stunning effect of this re- port upon the whole countryside must be removed. Either the Federal Trade Commission must be shown to have been entirely and inexcusably misled as to the nature of the facts and fig ures they investigated, and at once dismissed from office with a strong recommendation that they never again be employed in any capacity requir- ing intelligence and honesty, or the men whom they have so publicly pill loried should not only be compelled to disgorge their ill-gotten gains, but should also be personally punished in such fashion as most effectively to discourage all imitators for all time.

WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME.

"We ought not to forget that when the boys come home at the close of the war, at a time when l shall be wearing an asbestos halo, l suppose" said Uncle Joe Cannon in a recent speech in Congress, "they will take possession and direction, and worthily so, of the affairs of government, be- cause they will have the rare experi- ence and rare patriotism that will come from their service"
 To all of which We heartily sub scribe, with one reservation. If Uncle Joe supposes he will be wearing an asbestos halo at that time, why then we suppose nothing of the kind. He will not have to get measured for a halo for years after the war ends, no matter how long it lasts. And even when he does get into the halo class it will not be an asbestos one that he will wear. He won't need that kind. It will be the sort that goes with a harp which will be served out to Uncle Joe. Besides, the Huns will have a corner on all the asbestos in the mar ket long before Uncle Joe gets around. Bill the Brute's 957 different varieties of uniforms alone will all have to be of asbestos, if that Gott of his who reigns over the resort does not go in for little frightfulness sport and just for the humor of the thing run his old pal Bill loose just as he is without one plea.

12.5OO,OO LIVES POTENTIALLY
 LOST THROUGH THE WAR

The war has caused the belligerent countries of Europe the loss of not less than 12,500,0 900 potential lives be- cause of the decrease in the number of births resulting from the war, says Sir Bernard Mallet, registrar general of Great Britain. This country, he asserts, has lost in these potential lives, 650,000 children. He believes that other belligerent countries have suffered in this respect more than has Great Britain.

Recently l had the great pleasure
of going to see the old home and
grave Of Gen. Francis Marion, the
Swamp Fox" Of Revolutionary fame.
The place is called Belle Isle," and
Is in Berkeley county, some IL miles
below the Orangeburg county line,
and about SO miles above Charleston.
The old house in which the famous
general lived and died Is still stand
Ing, but going to decay; the yard is
covered with briars and bushes, and
the grave near the house is almost
hidden by the underground. 1t
seemed to me to be q shame that our
State has let this place go to ruin and
let the weeds and briars almost hide
from view the grave of one of the
best soldiers, II not the best soldier,
Of the Revolutionary War. Almost
a hundred years after his death the
Legislature of South Carolina erected
a granite monument, with metal
plates with his name and bare men,
ton Of his service to the country.
That was good, but not enough for
one who had done so much for the
cause Of freedom. The State ought
to buy the plot of ground where the
house and grave is and build q con-
crete wall or iron fence around it and
keep it in good condition. If the
State does not do this, then 1t ought
to be done by the Daughters Of the
Revolution. Many Of our patriotic
people over the State would be will
ing to contribute to such a fund. The
name and deeds Of Marion ought
never to die, but on the contrary
ought to be handed down from father
to son for all time to come. re-

A moment and away;

There Is a place in Sumter county
where tradition says Marion slipped
up on a company Of the enemy while
they we're eating their supper and
killed every man, not one escaping.
That place is called by the citizens Of
