Senator Mclean of Connecticut,
whose term of office expires next
March q, and who must stand in the
November election if he expects to
succeed himself, is said TO be showing
cold feet in wishing the Republican
nomination on somebody else. The
trouble grows principally out of the
bonus, it is said. The senator has
been a strong bonus man all the
while, believing that the bonus is
right; but the moneyed interests of
Connecticut which constitute a power
full element of his support, is opposed
to the bonus just as it is elsewhere and
he would prefer to wish the nomina-
ton off on someone else. He does not
want to be defeated. 4.

FATHER SAVES SON

Presence of mind and action Of his
father, r. r. Harper of York No. s,
probably saved the life of his son Ju-
lian, aged 6, last week when the boy
was bitten on the foot by a pilot snake
or an upland moccasin, one OF the
most venomous and poisonous snakes
of this section. Immediately upon
learning that the lad had been bitten
by the snake Mr.. Harper sucked the
poison from his sons foot with the
result that. the boy suffered little in
convenience from the bite
The snake bib the boy On the instep
OF his foot His father who happened
to be near promptly began sucking the
wound and while the foot became
swollen somewhat, the wound was
never considered serious. The snake
was killed.

With all due respect to political, in

no people can ever reach the true

accepted only by the few, If men would
really attain to the great end that is so

must turn to the Bible. Here is the
way and the light-the Sculptures oil

Senator Caraway, of Arkansas,
having made ii SO hot for Attorney
General Daugherty, in connection with
the httel's denial of all connection
with the Morse pardon case, Daugherty
now denies such connection. Senator
Watson, Republican, Of Indiana, had
stated on the floor Of the senate that
Daugherty had told him in CONVERSE
ton that he, Daugherty had never had
anything to 90 with the Morse pardon.
Then, with documentary evidence,
Caraway proved that Daugherty was
in partnership with Fielder IN the case
Fielder tried to back Daugherty by en-
planning that he had agreed TO act III
the matter but that he had not been
paid because Daugherty had refused
TO accept certain stocks rendered BY
Morse Between accuSers and de-
Tenders it was made clear that Daugh-
erty was the man who really engineer
ed the pardon. Now comes Daugherty
and admits that he represented Morse
and that he received four thousand
dollars part payment on his fee. lie
handled the Watson statement by re-
GREETING that Watson had misunder-
stood him, thus seeking to relieve Doth
himself and Watson, and Watson Is
now quiet. The record of the pardon,
published from the archives OF the de-
partment of justice, show that the doe
tors differed as 10 MOrse's condition
while in prison. Major Baker, an army
doctor, had reported that Morse could
not live more than thirty days wheth-
cr i'm OF out of prison and DR.. E. c.
Davis, a private physician of Atlanta.
had reborted that the condition of the
patient was not serious. In the mean
time the fight around Daugherty con-
tinucs to rage hot in both the house
and senate. In the house last Satur-
day Representative Johnson of South
Dakota. sought To compel the chairS
man Of the committee on rules TO re-
port a resolution that his committee

Political writer's agree that the
keenness of the Republican party to
pass an nti-lynching bill arises out Of
the fact that such bill is demanded
by negro voters of the country and un-
less the Republicans get by with it,
they Stqpd. to lose, Indiana and
MassaohusettS two states in which
the negro vote is said to be a deciding
factor. That the Republicans would
like to get through such bill if they
could do it without conflict with the
constitution or state rights, there is
little reason to doubt; but the reason
given is not especially impressive.
The negro voter knoA very we'll THAT
the Democrats are not interested along
this line, nor can they be, and feven
though the Republicans should fail as
they probably will, there is no need to
look for relief from the Democrats.

years ago. Thomas b. Nelson, the
young mans father, denied in the
testimony that he had ever done any
thing prejudicial to his sons wife. on
the contrary, he claimed to love the
young woman as daughter, and de-

Alleged facts as developed in con-
ncction with the pardon of Morse by
President Taft some years ago en-
phasiZe the question as to whether the
securing of pardon is legitimate
business for q paid attorney? DO the
special privileges of the attorney as
accorded by law and custom make
right proceedings on the part of an at
torney that would be wrong on the
part of a layman or n citizen? All
the principles and impulses of common
decency and common morality agree
that for an executive to pardon a
criminal for money would he clear
case of bribe taking. The attorney is
an officer of the court and responsible
TO the court and the constitutions Of
the state and United States distinctly
acclaim that the judiciary and the
executive shall be forever separate.
After the lawyer has resented his case
appeal to the executive at all? 1t does
not seem that he should be allowed TO
do it as a lawyer. Possibly he might
be allowed to do it as private citi-
zen; but if he does it as private
citizen, he surely has no more right to
charge or accept Il fec than any other
private citizen. a private citizen who
might capitalize any influence he might
have with an executive in securing Il
pardon would seem To be dishonest

Hope and expectation of anti,
lynching legislation at this Session OF
congress were blasted Thursday" The
Senate Judiciary Committee at n long
session failed to reach any agreement
on the subject and adjourned for two
weeks. It developed that all committee
members, with the possible exception
of Senator ShOrtfdge (Rep. Cal) held
that no bill could be drawn which
would be pronounced constitutional.
The opinion prevailed that the measure
passed by the house could not be
amended to meet the objections or
decisions by the supreme court. There
also was almost unanimous doubt that
a bill of any kind could be arranged
which would not interfere with states
rights. 1t was determined that two
weeks hence the senate and house
judiciary committees will hold joint
sessions and take up the matter OF
anti-lynching Legislation. 1t is not be-
lieved a bill will De drafted as re-
suit. 1t is intended to ascertain the
possibility of adopting resolution
pyoviding for joint congressional
commission to investigate the subject
OF lynchng and their remedy. IL Is
admitted that the commission plan
would prove an unsatisfactory step to
the negroes who now are demanding
protection against lynchings. Neither
is the suggestion acceptable to Sena-
tors Lodge, Calder, Frelinghuysen and
others who have q large number OF
negroes among their constituents, who
promise to become active. in the ap-
preaching campaign unless something
specific is accomplished. The opinion
is expressed that the negro vote may
be the deciding factor in. Indiana,
Massac achusetts and some other states.
Hence the great anxiety of Ledge and
the Republican leaders tolmollifS their
colored constituents before it is too

One of the reasons why we favor the
bonus so strongly is that in any bill
that can be passed all must be treated
alike. The south has more soldiers in
proportion to population than has any
other section of the country, smaller
percentage of southern boys having
gotten into occupations necessary to
the prosecution. of the war, and there
fore fewer exemptions from service.
Unless we are badly mixed on avail
able figures the per capita wealth OF
each and every other section is greater
than the per capita wealth of the
south. 1t is difficult to see how it
would be possible for even a bonus
tax that would fall less heavily on
the south than any other section, and
since the south will get more out of 1t
in proportion to the amount it will
have to contribute, we want =. bonus
Looks selfish? Sure, and it is selfish.
But the reasons we give for favoring
the bonus are the reasons why other
sections are opposed to ii. We are no
more selfish than are they.
