As to whether South Carolina will
have more than four delegates in the
Republican national convention of 1924
will depend upon the number of votes
cast in the congressional elections this
fall. Under the new rules as revised
considerably after the Republican ma
tional convention of 1920, each state
will be credited with four delegates on
account of its party organization, and
one delegate for each $500 votes cast
in each congressional district. There
were eleven delegates from South
Carolina in the convention Of 1920, and
the indications now are that there will
be seven less in the next convention.
This will depend upon the showing
made at the general election. 1t is
presumed of course that the Republi-
cans will put up a candidate in each
of the seven congressional districts;
but as to whether any of these candi-
dates will be able to muster as many
as $500 votes is a very doubtful propo-
sition. 1t is not probable that the Rep
ublicans will begin to show their
hands to any considerable extent until
after the Democrats have made their
nominations in the August primaries.

Dispatches from Washington persist
in the statement that President Hard
ing will veto the bonus bill unless it
comes to him with a sales tax tackled
OH with which to pay the bonus. We
do not exactly like that. If possible,
we would rather see the bonus paid by
the people who made the big money
out. of the war and who still have it.
But we will stand for sales tax rath-
er than forego the bonus. Perhaps a
year or two of the sales tax will help
the people to see more equitable way
of raising the money.

OF course the whole country Is in
terested in the economic. controversy
between the railroad shopmen and the
railroad executives. And 1t is well
that it should be, because the question
affects everybody. Down beneath 1t
all is a question of master and man
a question as to exactly what are the
rights of the laborer, if he has any,
and what are the rights Of the en-
ployer. 1t is a question as to whether
labor is to be ruled with and by mon
ey, or whether the man who handles
the hammer should have right to say
something about working conditions.
1t is a question as to whether money
shall have all the say-whether law Is
based on fundamental principles of
right, or law is only the whim Of mon
ey. The controversy between the rail-
road executives and the shopmen is in
reality a test 1t originates back be-
hind that. The real aggressors in the
fight are the leaders of finance-the
people who control the entire econom-
ic situation by controlling the price apd
distribution of money. They seek TO
preserve or increase their power by
lowering the standards of. living. The
railroad is the greatest employer of
labor, and the wage scale there, has
the greatest bearing on all other labor.
Hence the strategic point of attack.
The shopmen conquered, the other di-
visions will fall one by one or alto
gether, and then the conquest extends
to all other workers in whatever en-
ployment. 1t will mean reduced
standards of living for workers, and
increased power and prestige for those
who control the workers. 1t is an Is
sue of tremendous proportions, to be
sure, with a stake as great as that
which was involved in the World war.

Kansas has an industrial court that
is authorized to settle labor disputes
of whatever nature, and the laws of
Kansas have undertaken TO abridge
the right of free speech in connection
with such disputes. That is, when the
courts take hold of a labor dispute, all
citizens who are not able to endorse
and commend the action of the courts
must hold their peace. Business men
all over Kansas are In sympathy with
the striking railroad shopmen. In the
city of Emporia business men put
placards in their windows reading:
1--WE are for the striking railroad men
100 per cent. We are for living wage
and fair working conditions" These
placards were ordered out by Govern
or Allen as being of an incendiary ma
ture and in violation of the anti-syn-
dicalism law, whereupon VIII Allen
White, the world famous editor of the
Emporia (Kansas) Gazette, put up
placard reading: I'VE believe in the
striking working men so per cent. We
believe in living wage and fair
working conditions" He explained in
his paper that while he was not willing
TO go the whole way on the strike,
saying that while the cause was just,
the time to protest was not; never
theless he believed in free speech re-
gardlcss of all efforts to restrict the
same, and that he was ready to be ar
rested whenever the officers of the
law should come along with their pa
pcrs. Editor White and Governor AL
len are close friends. The under
standing was that White was TO be
arrested and the matter was to he
fought out. But in the meantime Ed
itor White is sticking to his guns,
holding that the right of free speech
is fundamental and that there can be
no abridSmcnt of that right. Mr..
White was arrested Saturday night.
and promptly gave bond for his ap-
pcarance in the district court in OctU-
Der.

There have been a few country
watermelons offered in local markets;
but most Of them have been small.
All indications point to the probable
ity that the state campaign to be held
at Filbert tomorrow week will break the
record for attendance so far.
Of course all the cotton mills should
shut down on Wednesday of next week
at least all the mills that are within
reasonably close proximity to Filbert.
The mill workers constitute large and
important element in York county citi-
zenship, and they not only have a right
to see and hear the future officers or
the state; but they should be given the
opportunity to see and hear.

Other suggestions were
said to have been that the strike be
left to wear itself out, the government
maintaining a policy OF protecting in
terstate commerce meanwhile; that
labor representatives be charged in
court proceedings with conspiracy to
interrupt interstate commerce; and H.
nally, that railroad manaSements be
required to yield on the seniority rule,
while the railroad labor board be in
duced TO modify some of the conclu-
sions against which the shopcrafts
have struck. To date every White
House pronouncement has been of a
nature supporting the railroad l%bor
board end the actions of Chairman
Hooper. Opinion that any modifica-
ton of this kind was intended lacked
official support Sunday night.

Recalling his previous outburst
against the Wilson administration at
that place, the Charlotte Observer is
looking for former Governor Blease to
break out in still a new place at Fill
bert next week. Possibly, however,
some of the other candidates will con-
tribute to the interest of the occasion
by refuting some of the things that Mr..
Blease has previously said. But we
warn The Observer that if there is
ANYTHING along this line. it will proba-
bly, have to come from Mr.. Duncan,
who can say it with less danger to his
chances in the coming primary.

A conference between David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister,
and Raymond Poincare, the French
premier, to discuss the question of a
moratorium for Germany, has been ar
ranged for the first part of August,
says a Paris dispatch. 1t is expected
that the conference will assume the
proportions of n meeting of the SUI
preme council as 1t is generally under
stood in Paris that Belgium is sure to
be represented and If the Itllian cab
met crisis Is solved in that time that
Italy also will have delegates, present.
Realization that the reparations ques-
ton has reached a decisive crisis is
held responsible in French circles for
Premier Poincare's overcoming his oft
expressed aversion for supreme coun-
ellis and his decision to have the nat
ter of a German moratorium discussed
before the first supreme council he has
agreed to attend since he was called
to the premiership. The fact that III.
Poincare will be accompanied to Lon
don by Minister of Finance De Las
tcyrie, and Count Peretti de la Rocca,
director of political affairs 1t the for
eign office, as well as several techni-
cal experts from both the foreign af-
fairs and finance ministeries and the
premier's acceptance of the invitation
to meet Mr.. Lloyd George without
waiting the decision Of the reparations
commission on the moratorium ques-
ton are regarded in Paris as indicat-
ing that the fate of German morGto-
rum is more likely to be decided at
London than in Paris.

As yet the senate committee TO
which the appointment of j. w. Toll
bert to be marshal for the Western
district of South Carolina was refer
red, has not made its report. The un-
derstanding is that both Smith and
Dial are fighting Tolbcrt's confirma-
tion and the claim from Democratic
sources is that they have presented
evidence that the committee simply
cannot turn down. The nature of this
alleged evidence has not been made
public. Republicans, who claim to be
on the inside, laugh at the Democratic
claims and say that TOlbert's appoint
ment will be confirmed in due time.

y. NJ. Jeffords, one of the trio con-
victcd of the murder of j. c. Annette,
Columbia filling station proprietor, and
sentenced to die on June 18th, but
whose notice of appeal stayed his exc
cutiOn perfected the appeal Friday,
when he served on Solicitor Springer,
of Columbia, the papers setting forth
the grounds of his appeal. l.. O..
Southard, of Spartanburg and Barron,
Barron and Barron, of Union, represent
Jeffords. The appeal contains eleven
exceptions To the rulings of Judge
Townsend in the case. The appeal also
alleges that as the trial started on
May Is, when the crime was committed
on the 9th, there was intense public
feeling against the defendant. The
appeal also sets forth that the trial
judge erred in denying separate trials
for the three men, JcffOrds, Harrison
and Trecce. Another point raised in
the appeal is that the chief evidence
against Jeffords was the testimony of
his partners in crime and it is alleged
that this was hostile. 1t is also set
forth that the statements of the de-
PENDANTS TO officers of the law, often
repeated, were inadmissablc as evil
dence as their frequent repetition
served to prejudice the case.

There has been some decline in the
price of cotton during the past week.
Improvement in crop conditions is
assigned as the principal reason. The
real reason, however, is that the bears
on the exchange have the upper hand
of the bulls, for the time being.
Supply and demand for cotton really
has very little to do with the matter.
