FISH SUPPER

New Zion, May 20th, 1929.
Editor The Manning Times:
Manning, s. 6.
Just to let other communities know
what fine place New Zion is to live
in. On last Wednesday night the old
men and their good ladies only were
invited to attend a social at New Zion
school building, we did not think much
Of what we were to meet with there
that evening until about one hour be-
fore the appointed time to gather. We
saw car turn in to the building and
the man in charge began unloading
some of the finest marmouth fish that
grow in the waters Of any of our
streams and some very fine cats had
followed along just for stew. We
only had ten couples present at the
fish supper and the best part of it is
we believe that the party that these
fish followed up to New Zion will
very probably expect not only the
men but the ladies as well to follow
him to the polls and give him a send

The Woman's Christian Temperance

town and community. Many back
yards were beautified by the removal
of tin cans, rubbish etc, and instead
flowers planted. The response while
not general, was quite satisfactory,
and the president, Mrs. F. S. Ged-

efforts for a cleaner town and COM

prizes, one for the most attractive
back yard, and the other for the best

Committee
New-York tribune., 1922-03-18
Hard to ExpIair,

If there is an honest reason for
defeating the bill in the Lockwood
series providing for jail sentences
for building conspirators it has not
yet become apparent.
The best Job the Lockwood COM
mittee did in it's investigation in
New York City was the discovery
that these conspiracies existed and
that building costs had been sent
soaring because of them.
In the breaking up Of large
| number of secret understandings
and price-boosting agreements and
sending to Jail the men concerned in
them the committee did a very valu-
able work. The men caught and
punished included both employers
and employees. Hettrick and Brin-
dell, who dealt both with labor and
capital, were the two most conspicu-
GUS figures III the disclosures.
The purpose of the bill providing
for jail sentences for violation of
the Donnelly law was to reach men
who had managed through legal
technicalities to escape. The law
would have done much to end finally
the system of grating which had a
great deal to do with making build
ing costs prohibitive in New York.
1t was opposed from the begin
ming by an active lobby, which
neither slept nor rested till the bill
was defeated. Other bills in the
series were smothered in the COM
mittee-as some of them should
have been.
But this particular measure was
one whose merits did not admit of
argument. 1t was in effect bill to
make certain the prevention Of a
peculiarly mischievous form of
grand larceny. The men at whom it
aimed had been enriching themselves
at the expense of property owners
and rent payers in New York. They
had been grating on every builder,
every house owner and, consequent
ly, on every rent payer.
How any member of the Lockwood
committee or any member Of either
house of the Legislature could vote
against such a bill is beyond the
average mans comprehension.
Of all the bills reported by the
committee this, the first to be killed
was Of exceptional Importance to
the public.

Smuts, the Pacifer

The revolutionary outbreak in
South Africa has been put down,
thanks to the prompt and vigorous
action of General SHUTS. He has
shown that service in civilian posts
has not dimmed those qualities of
generalship that brought him fame
in the Boer War and the World
War. Striking hard, he immedi-
ately rallied the support of the loyal
South Africans, whether of Boer or
British extraction. Local commands
were formed of local volunteers,
much as was done in 1896 to quell
the Jameson raiders.
AS result an end was put ia
an incipient rebellion that used the
strike of the Rand gold miners as a
pretext. The conflict was serious,
alien help and financial support be-
ing on the side of the rebels. Boil
shevist sympathizers, according to
the latest dispatches, played no
small part in the revolt, and there
is reason to believe that the move

Paris Prices

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / trust that you can give me
little space to add word in reply
to Grace Browns letter in reference
to Paris hotel prices:
At the hotel where stayed last SUM-
mer there WAS a printed schedule CIV
ing the prices of all rooms and there
was no 10 per cent luxury tax. Dur
ing the summer of 1920, when the tax
was charged at the hotel where l
stayed, they were careful always to
keep the porter's expense account
separate and made no 10 per cent
charge on it.
In reference to Miss Browns charge
that prices are raised in Paris for
Americans, you may be interested to
learn cf the test made last summer by
"fhe Chicago Tribune" and the
"Matin." They sent out two women,
one French woman and the other sn
American, TO shop for various classes
of goods, to price hotel rocms. ETC.,

Home Rule-With Reservations

The most intent listening has
failed to detect any note of protest
from the City Hall concerning the
passage by the Legislature of the
bill raising the salaries of the Mayor
and Comptroller to $4,000 a year.
When Mr.. Hylan was the watch
dog of the city's autonomy he was
savagely hostile to the legislative
entertainments. But as Byron says
"'Tis sweet to hear the watchdog's
honest bark
Bay deep-mouth'd welcome as we
draw near home"
If any of Mr.. Hylan's fellow
citizens expected Mr.. Hylan to say
to the Legislature "Take back your
additional $4,000 in gold. l scorn
it," they are doomed to disappoint-
irent. Mr.. Hylan does not believe
that the Legislature has any right
to make laws about traction. He
denies its authority to create a body
to formulate plan for the Port of
New York. He resists any attempt
from Albany to legislate for the
people of this city, with one ex-
ception.
Mr.. Hylan can, if he chooses, at
a sacrifice of paltry $4,000 q
year--thirty thousand for the re.
mainder of his term-lnake his posi-.
tion on the question of home rule
admirably consistent. He can veto
the bill and give the pen with which
ne writes the veto to the Transit
Commission as proof of his aloof.
ness to mere money.
He can do this, we repeat. But
we would not advise any of our
readers to make any considerable
wager that he will do it.
New-York tribune., 1922-03-18
A New King in Egypt

"There shall be no more prince
of the land of Egypt" wrote the
Prophet Ezekiel. That prophecy has
been fulfilled in the sense that in the
last two thousand years no prince of
the ancient native blood has sat on
the throne of Egypt. But the old
Egyptian race of the Pharaonic era
has itself disappeared, submerged
under the Persian, Greek, Roman
and Moslem invasions.
Yet Egypt, new Egypt, has at
last rewon nationality and is to be
ruled, as of old, by an Egyptian
king, not by an alien suzerain. There
is again a Pharaoh, in fact, though
not in blood or race, for the new
king is Of Albanian descent, one of
the successors of the great adven-
turer of a century ago, Mehemet All.
Mehemet fought his way up to recog
milton as Khedive by the Ottoman
Sultan. At the beginning of the
World War Great Britain expelled
the last of the khedives and named
Sultan to succeed him. The present
Sultan, Ahmed Fuad Pasha, has now
assumed the title Of king, in witness
of the fact that Egypt has attained
sovereignty and a place among mod
ern nations.
The British government annulled
Turkish suzerainty in 1914, when it
declared protectorate over Egypt.
The protectorate having been re-
Gently withdrawn, Egypt became
automatically an independent state.
1t will be self-governing and be rep
resented abroad by it's own ENJOYS.
But treaty Of alliance with Great
Britain will probably be concluded
very shortly, and Great Britain will
guarantee Egypt's territorial integ-
rity, assume the protection Of priv
ileges granted to foreigners under
the capitulations, conduct negotia-
tions for the annulment of these
capitulations and retain rights in
Egypt securing her own communica-
tions with India and the Sudan.
Egypt, however, is once more a
recognized member Of the family of
nations. Blood, religion, language
and culture have changed. Even the
face Of the ancient Egypt has been
altered. But the name and the soil
remain to link this new, relatively
feeble and still politically backward
people, with one Of the greatest of
ancient world empires.
Out Of the old fields comes the new
corn. So there is note Of encour-
agement as we'll as touch Of world
drama in the proclamation of a new
King OF Egypt in a Nile capital un-
dreamed of by the Pharaohs.

Checking the Crooks

Owing to the protests of the
president of the New York Stock
Exchange, the Katlin bill regulating
trading in securities has been re-
committed. On account of the ex-
tent to which it was altered by
amendments the exchange made the
proper request that its members be
permitted to give their views in full
on the proposed changes.
The real question is not so mucn
the passage of blue sky" laws or
the regulation of the exchanges as
1t Is to check bucketeering and pre-
vent crooked dealings. The Stock
Exchange itself is keenly interested
In putting down these evils, for the
simple reason that their perpetual
tion hinders the legitimate work of
honest brokers. In fairness to the
exchange it must be said that it has
maintained high standards and has
done much to root out corruption.
But the regulation of an exchange
is delicate matter. The organiza-
tion is complex and intangible, de-
pending in no small degree for its
strength upon the personal integrity
of its members. 1t is only natural,
therefore, that the exchange de-
mands the right to be it's own judge
on such matters as membership, the
refusal of wire privileges and the
listing of securities.
The exchange now also suggests
as a means Of making brokerage
houses more secure that it shall ex-
anime the books of members
regularly.
Despite the devious methods Of
misleading entries an examination
of the books should make possible
the detection Of many illicit prac-
eices. Whether the Stock Exchange
should be the final judge in this
matter CIR whether this is~work best
done by state authorities is an open
question. To permit state super
vision that would merely hamper
