cloth challenged fortune in the regu-

Some of them were rounded up, and
taken with the "bones" and the cash
to. the lookup. They have not been
described. The public is left to guess
as to age, dress, manner and vocabu-
larry. All as yet vouchsafed is that
they resisted. and had to be subdued
with the nightstiek. They acted as
citizens who felt that their constitu-
tional rights were being interfered
with.
We shall probably get the full story.
with all the color and details that go
with it. later. Indeed, Boston owes
this much to the public. S,:e has in
troduced new wrinkle the riot
game, and should explain 1t.
There has recently been some stir
ring outlawry in Chicago, in Knox
vile, and in this town, when the au-
euoileiCo WcIc ueueu, tnt stIcclS mdut
unsafe for the orderly, and human
lives taken. All the conventional fea-
lures of riots were in evidence, but no
new capers were introduced.
But Boston has shown invention
has introduced a new feature into the
riot game by adding to it the game of
chance. Mngling with the raucus
cries of Soak him!" and chang h;m!'
have been the yearning and sol citous
cries of "come seven! Come 'levcn."
Boston will explain, make no doubt.
If she harbors the riot spirit and the
gambling spirit, she also harbors a
vocabulary equal to all emergencies.
Give her little time to cool off and
resume her orderly life again, and she
will account for the "bones" and the
ungovernable impatience of those who
would rattle them even in the hour
of turbulence and danger.

ne Evening Star Newspaper Compan
The Police Union Disapproved.

Commissioner Brownlow's disclosure
before the Senate committee that the
action of the Commissioners in for
bidding affiliation by the policemen
with national labor body is sustained
by President Wilson confirms int.ma
tions previously made. 1t is now evi-
dent that the course adopted at the
District building was in all respects in
harmony with the views held at the
White House. The President thus
states the case: "I think that any as
sociation of the police force of the
Cspital city, or of any great city, whose
object is to bring pressure upon the
public or the community, such as will
endanger the public peace or embarrass
the maintenance Of order, should in
no case be countenanced or permitted"
It has been declared by the head Of
the local policemen's union in his tes-
timony before the committee that the
sole object of affiliation was to bring
pressure to bear upon Congress
to secure more pay. There is
nothing to indicate that such
pressure was necessary. The Commits
sioners were in no sense or degree op
posed to better pay scale, but on
the contrary were asking for it. The
eommunity was unanimous in support
Of the proposal. Congress was. well
disposed toward it, There was no oc-
eaaion for influence from outside, or
spFessure" of any kind.
Apart. from the immediate issue Of
better pay for the policemen a much
more important question is involved
tefe. The case of Boston has demon
strated the danger of = police organi-
ration of this character. Despite dec
iafations of confidence that the police
men would not strike, the fact remains
that not only in Boston, but in Macon,
Ga, the policemen have struck. There
is no provision against striking in the
local organizations charter or consti-
tution.
But again apart from the question
e striking there remains the fact that
anliation with q labor organization
wculd tend to make the police force
partisan in any issue involving union
workers. Policemen must be wholly
neqtral and free to act without re-
serve or distinction in the enforce
meht of the Law. They cannot have
any afiliation outside of their ALE
giAAee to the municipality and render
the efficient service upon which the
cemmunity depends for the preserva-
ton of order.
The legal question involved in the
loeal police union matter is still be-
7sfe the courts, but it is now evident
il the light Of the statements made
befere the Senate committee that there
i - need from the policemen's point
of view for labor union afiistion and
NJ c1icial or public support Of such a
mssement.

When Others PROSPER.

Farming is one Of very few oc-
cupations that gives more than it
promises. The young man who selects
farming as his life-work may not ac-
cumulate as money as he expects, but
if he prepares himself for his work
and makes the proper use of his op-
portunities he will get more in health,
contentment and happiness than he
expected. 1t is true that many fail to
get these, but generally that is be-
cause they do not care for such
things and thus make poor use Of
their opportunities to obtain them.
No occupation can advance the in
tcrests of the state and nation faster
than farming where large crops are
proftably grown and choice livestock
Iare raised. It is a business where no
one is injured because you prosper,
but on the contrary, your prosperity
advances all legitimate business. The
production of food is of paramount
Importance to all trades and indus
ustries, and he who produces that
which sustains human life and pro-
notes human efficiency is true ben
efactor. The time has come when the
producer will be duly appreciated
and he will be amply paid for efficient
service.-Farm and Ranch.

Forage Crops and Pasture
Grasses

Clemson College, March 1.-Two
publications Of the Extension Service
are timely just now in connection
with the increased and increasing in
terest in all kinds Of live stock in
South Carolina and the reduction of
the cotton acreage. These are Exten,
sion Bulletin 80, Forage Crops in
South Carolina" and Extension Bull
jletin 33, Permanent and Temporary
Pastures"
The first of these contains in
structions which should help to solve
the stock feeding problems Of the
time and to suggest the wise use OF
some of the fand left from reduction
of cotton acreage. Due Consideration
is given in this bulletin to the double
value OF the various legumes as for
age crops in furnishing excellent
feeding values and in enriching the
soil.
The second publication deals with
the necessity Of good pastures, soil
requirements, preparation, how to
plant, and instructions how to secure
best results in making pastures with
the several pasture grasses.
Both bulletins are by W. R. Elliott,
formerly district agent of the Ex-
tension Service, who is an authority
on such matters. They are free, as
long as they last, to all who ask for
them.

Cotton go High if Embargo Of.

Cotton go High if Embargo Cf.
That all cotton would sell at good
prices if the embargo on the staple
were lifted, is the opinion of Bernard
NJ. Baruch, now attending the Peace
Conference at Paris, as expressed in
letter to Senator E. D. Smith, who
was visitor in Columbia Wednesday
afternoon. Senator Smith gave for
publication some quotations from the
Baruch letter.
In speaking of trade conditions in
Europe in connection with, the Peace
Conference Mr.. Baruch said that the
American economic commission at
Paris "has been trying for long
time to increase the sales of Ameri-
can products here and have been met
on every side with extreme difficult
ties, the greatest of which is the in
ability to finance" He said that one
day a decision is rendered and the
next day it is withdrawn.
Efforts to Sell Cotton.
"Ever since have been here" con-
tinued MIR. Baruch, 81 have been ac-
tive in trying to get the European
people to take large amount of cot
ton. My efforts have not borne much
fruit, but something has been accom-
:plished. The Belgians have bought
and financed through England; how
much, I do not know. l am in hopes
of having considerable quantities TAX
en- in France and England. The
Czecho-Slavs want about 100000
bales to be sent to Prague. 1t is sim
ply a matter of credits. / feel certain
that if the embargoes would be lifted,
that all of the cotton could be sold at
good prices. Every days delay makes
"a great difference to the poor South
ern farmers and merchants who have
been carrying the load without the
protection the wheat growers have.
AS you will understand there are
many reasons why 1 feel great SYM
pathy for the Southern farmer and l
know how hard you have been work
ing and how fair you have tried to
be-"
In speaking OF President Wilson's
connection with the Peace Confer
ence and the estimation in which he
is held by his conferees, the Baruch
letter says:
"He has commanded the respect
and admiration Of everyone. His pow
er of argument, his courteous and
calm manner, his firmness and his un-
faltering courage have easily made
him the leading figure in the confer
ence. Furthermore, if we are to get
any kind of peace soon, he must re-
turn NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Rec
