Tree tfdQe influences are COuIluudlly ping
upon the alleged unwisdom of building pro-
tective tariff wall around this country upon
the theory that to do so will prevent our
European debtors ever making enough to re-
pay us or ever becoming sufficiently prosper
Gus to buy American goods.
The fallacy of this is at once apparent.
If we destroy our home industries by permit
ting home markets to be exploited by foreign
industries we thereby do two things. we de-
stroy our productive industries and II we
cannot produce we certainly cannot sell. AT
the same time, by destroying our industrial
productivity, we directly bring about the un-
employment of millions of industrial workers.
This absolutely destroys their ability to buy
either of the importer, the home manutact-
urer or the American farmer. Therefore, to
permit our home market to be flooded with
foreign goods which are sold in this country
at less price than they can be produced IN
this country, is to destroy both our ability to
sell and our ability to buy. The logical and
inevitable outcome of such policy would not
be the enrichment and upbullding OF Europe
but would be the impoverishment OF the
United States the dragging of this country
down to the economic level of Europe
Miserable failure was the net result of
the effort of the National Civil Service Re-
form League to create public opinion hostile
to the administration because the administra-
among government employees entrusted with
the work of the administration and with the
carrying out of it's policies. This is as it
should be- AS First Assistant Postmaster
General Bartlett pointed out in speech at
an open meeting of the Civil Service Reform
League those officers of the league who at
tempted to stir up trouble for the administra-
ton are Democrats, although some OF them
masquerade under the guise of being inde-
pendent. He pointed out that this Demo-
cratic crowd permitted the Wilson admins
tration to wreck the CIVIL Service system
without so much as making protest. He
charged that the conclusion is inescapable
that the attack upon this administration is
political and has for it's purpose not the pro-
motion of efficiency in public affairs but the
protection of Democrats in public office.
"This present ALARM" says Mr.. Bartlett,
"s an apparition, phantom, scare put In
order that few now under Civil Service who
now ought to be put out may hide behind it.
1t is Villains plea, who lodging behind his
wife, cries, don't strike a woman"
Speaking of the morale among federal
employees Mr.. Bartlett said: personal
spites, personal affections and petty jealous
les among the personnel of the government
are working more harm and injustice to the
Civil Service man and woman than politics
have ever done. These problems Of upbuild-
ing in the Civil Service system are the most
pressing and most important of all I must
say that since I have been associated with
Civil Service I have seen very little interest
on the part of the Civil Service Reform
League in these questions. They have seemed
to be interested almost wholly in grasping
almost every possible Office and putting it
under Civil Service"

The smyth Construction Co., of Will
mington, is erecting the new FRAT
house for the Sigma Phi Epsilon, on
the college campus. This new build
ing will add materially to the beauty
of Main street and is being erected
at the cost of $4,000.
Charles Greer, another local con-
tractor, has a great deal of work on
hand at present and expects to start
on more in a short time.
He is building a six family apart
ment on Cleveland avenue, for Will
liam Wollaston. This apartment IS
not like the houses generally termed
apartments, as each family will have
it's own house. The plan on which 1t
is being built is very unique, being
a semi-circie with court yard IN the
rear. These houses will be two stories
and will add much to the appearance
of Cleveland avenue. The plan on
which the apartment is being built
gives each apartment much light ana
air.
The same contractor is building
Prospect avenue. This is also to be
four houses for Frank Garatwa, on
known as an apartment house with
each family having separate house.
The building will likewise be two
stories and built of brick.
On the same aveune the contrac-
tor is building for himself two houses
of stucco. These are separate houses
and will be of neat appearance.
Mr.. Greer is building for Prof. Carl
Rankin, of the University, stucco-
tile Dutch-Colonial house on Park
Place. This is a most up-to-date
house and will be two stories.
Walter Powell is building five priv
ate garages on Cleveland avenue and
there are several other minor build
ing operations underway in various
parts of the town.
In short time, work will be started
on the new Aetna Hose, Hook and
Ladder Co., fire house in the rear OF
the Academy.
Work was started on April 14th, on

A HEART HISTORY.
By Lou Bell

E'Not so fast, Miss Margaret, sit
down again, there is your letter. Now
open it and read it to me-" said Mr..
Willis, passing his arm around her
waist to prevent her flight.
"Oh, father, please let me go. In
deed, l cannot read it to you" said
Margaret, the tears trembling like
dewdrops on her long-fringed lashes.
"Well, then, I'll read it myself; it
must be very nice. should like to
read a letter from such fine young
man." said Mr.. Willis, attempting to
take it.
Father, please don't take tit is
only about-about-"
"Never mind, I'll see what it is
about. Margaret, you must either
read me the letter, or give it to me.
I must know the contents" and this
time her father spoke sternly.
The poor girl dared not diso5ey.
With trembling hands she broke the
seal, and, in voice scarcely audible,
read: "My dearest, sweetest Margar-
ct: Tomorrow l leave for-for--"
Margaret could proceed no further,
but, covered with bushes, hid her
face in her fathers bosom.
"Well, Margaret, don't cry. l don't
want to hear any more Of such silly
chat. There, give me the letter.
1t will serve nicely to light my pipe" "
said Mr.. Willis, twisting the letter
in his fingers.
Father, won't you give me my
letter."
"No, Margaret. Now go and get
pen, ink, and paper; this letter must
be answered"
Quite pale, she brought her desk
and placed it upon the table.

ness on the first. quarter of the year.
This big loss is now staring the de-
partment in the face, and unless some
action is taken by the counties, there
will hardly be chance to get the
money. The loss comes about from
the decrease in motor vehicle regis
trations.
To date, including figures for the
close of March, only 1881 automo-
biles have been registered and this is
decrease of 15,842 automobiles
alone from last year. The time for

registered so far and this gives de-

FOR SWEARINGEN
FOR GOVERNOR
COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTEND
ENTS ADOPT RESOLUTION
State Superintendent of Education
Has Not Yet Thrown Hat
in Ring
The State, 4.

The State, 4.
That John E. Swearingen, state su-
perintendent of education, would
have no lack of backing in school cir
cles should he cast his hat into the
gubernatorial ring this summer was
made clearly evident at the meeting
of county superintendent of educa-
ton recently held in this city.
/ The resolution, which was adopted
almost unanimously by the county
superintendents of education, has just
leaked out and yesterday when Mr..
Swearingen was asked about it he eX-
pressed the wish that nothing be said
about it, as he has yet made no an
nourcement that ne would run for
governor and he said he feared the
schools might suffer from the rumor.
It has been the custom of Mr..
Swearingen for number of years to
assemble the county superintendents
of education in Columbia soon after
the close of the meeting of the legls-
lature, so that he might discuss with
them the new laws which had been
passed with regard to the public
schools. These meetings have been
found very helpful and have been we'll
attended. This year every county IN
the state, except about II, had its
sunerintendent of education at the
meeting.
1t is understood that at one of the
conferences a county superintendent
arose and proposed that the meeting
Of superintendents go on record as
indorsing Mr.. Swearingen's candidacy
for governor should he enter the
race.
At the time Mr.. Swearingen was IN
the chair and he at once ruled the mo-
ton out of order and it did not come
to vote. Later during the meeting,
when S. ]. Wall, superintendent OF
education of Marion, took the chair
the matter was again broaehed, and
the resolution was adopted heartily.
Since Mr.. Swearingen had not an.
nounced any intention of running for
governor, it was agreed, according to-
rumors on the street, to make no men
ton of the resolution through the
public prints lest the schools should
suffer. y
When Mr.. Swearingen was ap-
preached yesterday and asked about
the rumor, ne was found willing to
talk about the schools of the state
and their prospects, but would say
little as to the possibility Of his run-I
ming, for governor this summer. His
first thought was the effect of any
such announcement on the schools Of
the state, which, he says, are facing
no easy path. 5"5~.
Mr.. Swearingen is widely known
over the state; he has hundreds of
friends in every county, and if he
decides to make the race his presence
is sure to be felt, as he is not a
mincer of words nor is he reticent
as to expressing his opinions in re-
gard to various issues.
