THE NEXT SENATOR?

Apparently the big fight OF the
present quiet campaign is centerinR
on the personnel Of the Senate The
reason for this Is plain: with the
League OF Nations the principle Is
sue the election Of a president. Is
hardly more important than that OF
a senate to sustain his views on this
issue.
Right now the nation Is deadlock
ed on this important question; and
this certainly should be sufficient
lesson to those who are thinking OF
scratching their ticket in either par
". II should be apparent to every
voter that to vote for a demo-
cratic president and republican
senator is like blowing hot
and cold at the same time. The
same ludicrous exhibition Is furnish
ed by those who are going to vote for
the republican candidate for presid-
ont and n democrat for senator.
There have been times when Il
made little difference what the poll
tics OF an individual senator was:
when the dominant party had a pre-
ponderant majority In both houses:
but that Is not now tho case. Right
now tho republican majority exists In
name only; for with Newberry In

Patriotism Is Not Ceremony.

The Roman Catholic Archbishop of
Melbourne, Australia, an Irishman, is
the target of criticism because he did
not rise to his feet when the band on
steamer played America" and his
excuse is that he thought that the
band was playing "God Save the
King" the English anthem, the airs
being identical.
At the risk of laying ourselves open
to a railing accusation, we observe
that neglect to rise when the national
anthem is played is not evidence of a
reasonable bent. No such custom
has ever prevailed in the Southland
not more in the days when the South
was a separate nation and had its own
national airs than now. During the
recent war it was introduced in this
part of the country and all of US fell
in with it, none wishing to raise the
slightest question that would inter-
fere with expression Of patriotic feel
ing, but some Of us have suspected
that the custom is not without quail
ity of artificialty. No similar custom,
we are informed, prevails in France
or England, yet in those lands the
wells of patriotism have not gone dry.
When the band plays "Dixie" South
erners yell and, if they rise, it is to
make the yelling better and because
they cannot help it. Nor do we think
it a symptom Of slackening affection
for the Stars and Stripes that "Dixie"
stirs the fighting spirit of our young
men more than America" or any
other music.
The observance of ceremony is a
necessary part of military discipline
but similar discipline of the citizen is
by no means necessary. To stand
when "The Star Spangled Banner" is
played is pretty custom and we
think better of every man when he
joins in it, .but nothing is gained by
manifestations of patriotism that are
forced, whether by public opinion or
statute law, and if an archbishop, ma
tive or foreign, forgets or refuses to
stand when the national air is played,
nothing should be said or thought
about it. 1t is a private concern and
means nothing to men of sense

Profiteering in South Carolina.

There have been many reports
concerning sales made, at fabulous
figures, where the purchaser myste-
riously turned back the lapel Of his
coat, showed his badge of govern
mental authority and demanded to
see the invoice. All Of these We're
explained away, but this case occur
red in a South Carolina town-some
distance from Darlington a few days
ago.
The gentleman who knows positive
" of the occurrence is we'll known in
Darlington, he knows what he is talk
ing about always, and is one of the
most accurate and reliable men in his
statements that can be found any
where. He states that in his'town, a
gentleman walked into one of the
largest and best known establishments
and asked to see lady's cloak.
The cloak was finally selected, and
the price asked was S160. Finally
the seller agreed to make the price
$3.50. This was paid; receipted bill
was requested and given, and then
the mysterious badge performance
followed. To sum up, the cloak cost
Just exactly $3.50, and this profiteer-
ing cost the profiteer some cash.
A lady in town between this for
mer town and Darlington, hearing OF
this, remarked that she purchased a
very fine lady's coat suit for S2s.5o'
the original price earlier in the sea-
son having been, to her certain knowl-
edge, $3.50. And these are absolute
" reliable facts.-Darlington News
