TWO KINDS OF SOCIALISM.

Most people, In considering So
cialism and Socialists. fail apparent
iy to make very necessary distinc-
tion. 1t is natural at such a time as
this to lump radicals In one confused
heap. condemning all alike; but it is
foolish and dangerous.
There are Socialists who want To
overturn existing governments and
economic institutions by violence.
These are criminal. In act or in ten
dency. and II Is they who are re-
sponsible for all this tide of righteous
indignation. They must be sup
pressed.
There are Socialists who want 20
change existing governmental and
economic institutions by the orderly
processes OF election. legislation and
'sflining. They have always been
In tho majorit. heretofore. and in
America arc probably still i'm the
majority. They include many peo-
pie OF high ideals and blamelcss
Hives. who seek only. through So
cialistic movement, to bring moro
fraternai cooperation into the life Of
modern society. or this sort are the
English Fabian Socialists. who,
working sanoly and calmly, through
many years. have been responsible
for many OF the finest social and eco
nomic reforms N Great Britain.
Unfortunately. for itself and fof
&c United States. the official Social
ist party In this country has drifted
from Its moorings in these war years,
trafhicking with Prusianism AMI
Boishcvism. and incidentally alienat-
Ing most of it's respectable leaders
and members. Even In it's degreda-
ton, however. while continually
skirting the edge Of disloyalty. the
American Socialist party disclaims
any intention CT violence.
Manifestly. violence or incitement
to violence Is the only thing to which
loyal citizens and public authorities
can legally object.
Propaganda for the violent over
throw of our government cannot be
tolerated. Propaganda for the grad
ual alteration of our political institu-
tions by established. constitutional
processes. through the rule of ma
jority which comes 10 see things di:-
,ferently--this Is something that any
believer i'm democracy is bound 10
tolerate. however ne may dislike some
of the things the ''reformcrs" seek to
accomplish.

YOUR WAR TAN.

How much tax do you pay? Fig
urc it out for yourself. After making
your income tax report, it should be
fairly easy. Federal statisticians cs-
lar paid into the United States treas
ury is devoted to war purposcs-used
in dcfraying the cost of past wars
and in preparing for future wars.
Suppose, then, YOU are obliged -
pay Uncle sam 500 tax on last years
income. Your war tax, according TO
this minimum estimate, is SIG.
That isn't all of It, either. Uncle
Sam has other sources Of revenue
besides the income tax. There are
the duties on imported goods, the to-.
bacco tax, the luxury tax, etc, to
nearly all Of which you contribute
your quota, in proportion to your cx-
penditure. Rut the income tax DEM
cnstration is more impressive because
it is definite and concrete.
II any citizen enjoys paying that
war tax, very well! If he thinks that
his taxes ought to be lower, or that
some of the IS cents on each dollar
he pays ought to be devoted to more
constructive purposes than those Of
war, he should make his influence
fclt for the limitation Of armament.
for armament is the one realm o.
p4i'itary expenditure i'm which it -
possible to lower the cost Auhstan

THE MILK CAMPAIGN.

The meeting OF the City Board of
heaith held in the Council Chamber
Tuesday night to consider the propos-
cd milk campaign in Sumter under
auspices OF the Home Extension De-
partment Of Winthrop College, in
cooperation with the Extension Dc
partmcnt of Clemson, and with the
support OF the City Board OF Health
and the various civic and educational
organizations, resulted in a general
discussion of the purposes and plans
OF the campaign. a definite under
standing of the proposition was ar
rived at and "a decision was reached
to put on the campaign during the
latter part of April at least a month
being necessary to complete the pre-
liminary work essential to the success
OF the undertaking. Committees
will have to be organized and sur
vcy made to collect and classify sta
tistics relative to the present ana
prospective supply OF milk, the pres
ent and the probable consumption of
mix. after the people have been
brought TO understand the value OF
milk as food and the necessity of
greater use being made OF milk as
regular daily diet, and other facts
that apply TO the local situation
which those who will conduct the
campaign must know in order to pre-
sent the subject intelligcntly, for
cipiy and convincingly.
The purposes of the campaign
briefy summarized are as follows:
1. Educational: To inform the
people Of the community, especially
parents and children of tho value
OF milk az a food. and the necessity
OF using more milk. if the health of
growing children Ia to be raised TO a
par standard.
| 2. To convince heads of families
that milk is not food for children
and invalids alone, but is the mos,
nutritious. most economical and most
essential article Of food that adults

1t was stated in the meeting that
there was no intention on the part OF
those instrumental in promoting the
milk campaign or any of those Who
are interested in making the cam
paign a success to interfere in the
business of producing or selling milk.
There is no intention of adopting
regulations to require the pastueri-
zation or standardization as a condi-
ton precedent to its sale in Sumter.
This statement is important in view
of reports that have been circulated
in the community that one of the
objects of the campaign was to adopt
and enforce such rules. Mr.. McDon-
aid, of the Sumte' Creamery, stated
that he personally would oppose any
suggestion Of such regulation.
The milk campaign promises to be
OF much benefit to the community
and should receive the support and
cordial cooperation of all who are
interested in civic betterment.

CONStLS AND IMPORTS.

Formerly one OF the chief duties ii

The new order requests them to ;;ive
special attention to the stimulating OF
expectation to the United States from

American importing. This action is
explained thus:
!. The balance OF trade is so
heavily in favor OF the United States
that foreign exchange rates are de-
moralized, and the volume of Amer
lean exports is consequently being Sc
riously reduced;

in danger of becoming a distinct det-
riment, and is already causing a re-
duction Of exports from the United
States.
All these things being true, Amer
lean consuls are urged to make a
study Of their districts and to furnish
tho government with immediate in
formation which will show American
business men the opportunities that
exist for purchasing raw materials
or manufactured products at an at
tractive price, and for investing their

of protection"
This utterance. from the Country
| Gentleman, may be accepted by both
Republicans and Democrats as a fair
statement of the present situation
Both parties, and the independents:
likewise. are agreed that there must
be some kind of tariff, but what
kind? And how shall it be worked
out?
The magazine quoted, while It
speaks presumably for the farming
| population. does not advocate any
thing like class tariff legislation. 1t
| reminds the public that the United
states department of agriculture,
through its Office of farm manage
ment, has prepared world maps
showing the geography of agriculture
in all countries. and that the tariff
com hission has been occupied for
years collecting and digesting inter-
national facts and figures regarding
Industrial conditions. Both Of these
bodies are non-partisan. Both of
