Senator Harding, In a message 10
the ministers Of New York made pub

reestabishment Of the traffic in in
toxicating liquors. and if elected

Mr. Smith was requested some time
ago to make an arrangement for a
visit of 100 clergymen to Marion,
Ohio. where they were to meet Sen

Of the Senator made the visit imprac-

every additional 500 pounds. The measure also
provides for license fee of ten dollars year for
one ton trucks, twenty dollars for two ton trucks,
lars for four ton trucks and so to one thousand
dollars for trucks over ton capacity. Each
motorcycle owner must pay an annual license OF
five dollars Dealers license is twenty-five dollars
per year for the first make of machine handled and
fifteen dollars for each additional make sold. Of
the amount accruing from the license tax eighty
per cent. is to be spent in the county in which It
originated for the maintenance of the State system
of highways in those counties. Any surplus can
be used in the county for roads and bridges in such
manner as decided upon the highway department.
The remaining twenty per cent is to go for the ex-
penses of the department and for the aid of coun-
ties in construction of roads and bridges
The bill also provides an annual levy of two mills
on all taxable property in the State.
The above constitutes the principal provisions of
the highway BILL AS we have before indicated
the bill is too lenient with the owners of automo-
biles. recent report of an American Engineers
association states that modern engineers are at
loss for road building material which will with
stand the terrific and tear occasioned by au-
tomobiles and especially by motor trucks. Also the
"idle rich" who recline in their lmousines are the
ones who are continually agitating the measure.
And they are the ones most able to pay. Every
automobile owner should be taxed at least fifty dol
lars year for a car weighing under 1000 pounds,
with higher license tax for heavier cars.

HIGHWAY BILL INTRODUCED.

The joint legislative committee created few
days ago to prepare highway bill for the State has
completed it's work and the bill was introduced sim
ultaneously in the house and senate Monday even
irg.
The bill provides for dual system of State and
county highways, but is silent to the material
which shall constitute the roads. 1t provides that
the State highway department will construct the
system of State highways linking up the county
seats of the State, covering such main arteries of
the State as the commission deems advisable. With
the consent of the county authorities the highway
commission will have the right to lay out the county
system of roads, the cost of construction to be
paid out of county funds and the county to retain
the title to the roads and bridges.
The provisions of the bill regarding the tax on
automobiles deviates from the usual custom of tax
ing on a basis of horsepower and states that be-
ginning next year all automobiles weighing 1000
pounds or under snail pay an annual license of
six dollars and an additional tax of two dollars for

THE POSTURE OF A PRINCELING.

The grandoquent gesture of the young man who.
cnce was Crown Prince William of Germany may
stir his clique to applause on the home circuit but
elsewhere it will provoke only irreverent smiles.
Jokemen will ask why he does not enlarge his offer
and profer his person payment in full of the rep
aratlon bill. And why, if determined to make him.
self the universal scapegoat, he does not start for
the Belgian frontier at once.
The Allies would no doubt be glad to try this self
sacrificing parsonage for his own alleged offenses-
among which rfling chateau of it's valuable con-
tents might be minor item. But these charges
surely are ample to cover his case, and when de-
fendant is so heavily involved in his own right his
generosity in offering to surrender on behalf of his
friends is difficult to calculate.
Besides, the Allies are not looking for scape-
goat. If they wished revenge or were seeking to
satisfy their hate, one victim might do as well as
another But they are bound upon neither errand
They ask justice in the name of outraged law and
humanity, and largely a warning to future max
ers Of war that such crimes cannot be committed
with impunity. To execute sentence upon each and
every individual proved guilty is the only course
that will meet this demand.
There always was something of the comic valen-
tine about the Crown Prince His last effort to pose
before the mirror hero and a martyr is not
much better than its predecessors.-N. Y. Tribune.

agined how these little breaks in the monotony OF
home-life in the morning have been avoided by the
women in progressive towns like Spartanburg, for
example. Of her kind a very clever writer said
"She openeth her mouth with wisdom and in her
tongue is the law of Kindness. She looketh well to
the ways of her household, and eateth not the
bread Of idleness. Her children arise up, and call
her blessed; her husband also and he praiseth her,
That's why Spartanburg is so pleasant place to,
live in.-Spartanburg Journal.

BRIDGE IN THE MORNING.

"Abbeville ladies'" we ted by The Press and
Banner 'are fond of cards and many pleasant
bridge parties are being held around town in the
morning. Mrs. -- (name deleted by the Off
cial censor) has been giving series of table
parties for the past several weeks. Thursday morn
ing she had four guests who enjoyed the pleasant
chat as much as the game of cards. Grapefruit and
salads with coffee were served" "Mrs.
(name also deleted by the official censor) enter
tanned Tuesday morning at Bridge the following
ladies (names deleted as aforesaid-there were
five of ,them.) The morning was one of much pleas
to the players. salad course was served"
1t is taken for granted that the four guests at
the function first noted were all married women
and housekeepers, and all of those present at the
second, with the exception of one young lady, were
married women and housekeepers also. In this
case, however, one of the players from Gothom
and she could not be suspected of neglectng any
of the duties requiring attention in her happy
home; but, omitting from the count these two i'm
munes it would appear that nine of the most
charming women in Abbeville had their domestic
arrangements perfectly adjusted that they could
occupy the entire morning in pleasant chat over
cards and salad and coffee. Isn't it wonderful how
women of Abbevile and Greenvile and Columbia
find time for this sort of thing in the morning?
We doubt that the women of the Greer Area have
yet learned the trick but the chatting is pleas
ant, and the salad is so good and it is such re-
lief to get away from the children and then on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, and there is such intel
lectual excitement in bridge, that it cannot be i'm

the capital side there is no lack of British energy,
for the employers know that thy do not pay the

not impressive, and therefore is a mistake.-New

Police Department Asked to Have
Automobillsts Remedy cenges-
tion on Blondeau street
at Seventh.
CARS STAND OUT TOO FAR
Small Angle is Permissible, Officials
Say, sur Parking Law Does Not
Permit OF as Wide One as
is Used.

Complaints have been filed with
the police department over the man
aer in which automobiles are being
parked in front OF the Masonic tenn
pie. the postoffice and the Grand
opera house, along Blondeau street
between Sixth and Seventh streets
The complaint is made that the autos
are, headed in to the curb at such an
angle that there is left barely room
enough for one automobile or team
to drive through this lane, and that
it is impossible for two vehicles to
pass in between the lines Of auto
mobiles. II one auto or team gets
in the lane. another approaching
from the other direction must wait
until 1t has come through.
The police department calls atten-
ton to the parking law, which pro-
vides that automobiles shall park
with the right side Of the car along.
side of the curb. 1t is proper TO
park at a slight angle, the chief ex-
planned this morning, but not to head
in to the curb, as most of the autos
are doing. he said.
In the evenings there is consider
able congestion of cars parked along
side OF the curb by the theater. and
in many instances these cars are run
ahead into the curb and stand so far
out into the street that it is almost
impossible for automobiles to either
park on the other side OF the street
or to run out after they have parked.
In conn ection with this matter OF
parking. a man who has occasion to
drive a horse and wagon into keo-
kuk daily suggests that it would be
a big convenience to have the city
provide facilities for hitching. The
market grounds at Fourth and
Twelfth streets and the hitch rack
at Seventh between Main and John
son are the only places where horses
can be hitched. he says. and suggests
that rack located midway between
these points or on Blondeau street
would prove OF particular benef1t to
those who still drive old Dobin.

Tenant Farms

In the state of Iowa, the states
employment bureau reported that
one-third of the farm boys who went
to war didn't 60 back to the farm.
They wanted city jobs.
Of course they did. And can you
blame them when they see wages so
high in the city and small prospects
for themselves in the country except
to be tenants producing
food for the cities and getting only
a piffling percentage Of the price paid
by the consumer for the goods he
himself grows by hard work?
Senator Capper tells of one county
in Kansas-Sumner-where IS per
cent Of the farmers are tenants, De-
Kalb County ILL.,, has Y per cent
The land question has to be dealt
with in this country before long or
more farm boys will go to the cities
and then, presently, the specter Of
famine will stalk in the towns The
farmer, not owning his own land and
not getting an adequate price for the
crops he produces, won't go on for
ever raising food for fun.
