BOWMAN TO GRAND JURORS.

"They tell us that reaction as a re-
suit of war is responsible for this great
crime wave that is stretching over the
country and 1 tell you that in a time
like this it is the paramount duty OF
every law-abiding citizen to lend his
aid to law enforcement" declared Cir
cult Judge /. w. Bowman, addressing
the York county grand jury in the
courthouse yesterday morning. Nov
| is a time to build up n sentiment in
favor of law enforcement stronger
than ever before and it is the duty of
every good citizen to lend his aid in
the work. 1t is the plain duty Of every
good citizen whether he be member
of the grand jury or not to report law
violations to your body and to other
officers of the law and if he will do so
then law and order will be upheld.
"The fact" said Judge Bowman,
that there are twenty-five prisoners
awaiting trial here, is n sad common
| tary on the prevalence of crime. While
some of the prisoners no doubt are IN
nocent, on the other hand there are
some who are guilty and it is up to us
to enforce the law. The grand jury OF
county is generally composed OF
some of the best men in that county
and l hope that you men who for this
year are the guardians of the county
will remember the oath you have taken
TO prosecute without fear or favor or
regardless Of consequences, where the
law has been violated. You have said
YOU would do so and we all expect it..
Yours is high office. My obser-
vation has been that many grand ju-
rors do not appreciate the honor, i'm
portance and dignity of the office they
hold. 1t used to be that the office was
regarded as one where the members
were to pass upon only criminal ac-
tions brought before them. But it
means more than that. You are sup
posed 10. investigate all the affairs OF
your county. 1t is your duty to exam
Inc the county Offices and to see that
the business of the county is promptly
attended to by the officers appointed
and elected for the purpose
1T is your duty to inquire into the
state Of the poor in your county-to
see that the unfortunates are properly
cared for. You should see that the
prisoners in Jail are properly provided
for. They should not be given luXu-
ries; but they should be provided with
all the common necessities of life.
1T is your duty to look after the
roads of the county and where roads
are in need of repair to bring the mat
ter TO the attention Of the proper au-
thor'ties."
Speaking to the grand jurors about
the rural schools. Judge Bowman said
that he was admittedly a crank on the
subject of schools. THE best invest
ment that you or 1 have" said he, "is
our children. If we don't think great
deal of our children we don't amount
to much. My father used to say that
he hoped his boys would make better
men than he was and now that l have
children of my own l feel that way
about mine and no doubt you do also.
I suppose that in " like most other
counties of the sta the majority of
your teachers are young women, many
of them graduates of Winthrop col
lege. These young women have had
more to do and arc having more to do

Pressure on the Salvation Army.

The following is published at the re-
quest of E. NJ. Lightfoot, superintend-
ent Of the South Carolina Anti Saloon
League: ....
THE attention Of your readers Is
called to the desperate attempt Of the
opponents of national prohibition to
break down the morale of the splendid
Salvation Army. New York city has
a s5OO,O00 drive on for their work. The
chairman Of the committee, Mr.. James
Speyer, is head Of the banking firm of
Speyer & Company. Mr.. Speyer is
also one Of the vice presidents Of the
Association Against the Prohibition
amendment.
when the newspaper reporters in
formed Commander Evangeline Booth
that Mr.. Speyer was "wet," she said:
Mr.. Speyer is an old and esteemed
friendSof the army, but 1 think he will
have to change his view If he is to con-
tinue as chairman of our drive. Our
stand with respect to prohibition is
what it has. always been-absolutely
tee-total.' -.
Because of this consistent attitude,
the 'wets' are trying to punish her.
She refuses to recede, and will stand
regardless of costs. One of New
York's politicians who has the power
to do what he says, has practically
threatened to withdraw the Salvation
Army's permission to solicit funds on
the streets, on the ground that this iIt-
terance Of Miss Booth is politics. Miss
Booths address is 120 West 14th street,
New York city,
1--WE cannot forget the splendid work
of this organization during the war
days. Then they sacrificed and rem
dered glorious service for the brave
men at home and on foreign fields.
The thirty organizations that are op-
posed to national prohibition are GER
tainly desperate when they resort to
SUCH measures. Let every ex-service
man that appreciates the services the
Salvation Army rendered during the
World war, send encouragement to
Commander Booth. Fair play must

Christian Ravosky, president Of the
Ukraine republic is becoming one of
the most conspicuous of the delegates
at Genoa by his insistance on subjects
that are taboo. For one thing the sub
ject Of disarmament. is forbidden and
then again, since the United States is
not a participant, the affairs Of the
United States are not supposed to fig
ure. But Ravosky ignores all this, and
on opportunity insists upon the neces-
sity of disarmament and the lending of
money by those who have it to those
who have not got it.

EVERYBODY GET BUSY.

Governor Cooper has set asi de April
% as Cooperation Day. He wants the
farmers who have not yet signed the
cooperative marketing contract to do
So And to the end that the matter
may be intelligently presented, ne
wants farmers and business men to de-
vote the day to general canvass Of the
entire field. The matter is one of great
economic importance to the entire
country Here is the proclamation
of the governor on the subject:
Whereas, South Carolina is essen
TALLY an agricultural state, depending
in large measure for her prosperity and
material program on the cultivation
and selling OF cotton; and,
Whereas, the growers OF cotton in
our state have for many years follow
ed a wasteful, hazardous and unbuSi-
ness-like method of selling their pro-
duct, which method has resulted in the
loss Of thousands of dollars and the
consequent impoverishment Of our peo-
pie, the establishment of low stand
ards of living in hundreds Of our
homes and in poorly equipped schools;
and,
Whereas, leading farmers and busi
ness men or our state have under way
a movement looking to the orderly and
efficient marketing of our chief money
crop and the improvement of our fl
nancial condition; now,
Therefore, l. Robert A. Cooper, gov
ernor of the state of South Carolina,
do hereby call upon all the business
men of our state to devote one day,
April 25, to assisting in every way pos
sible in securing the signatures of cot
ton growers to the cooperative mar
ketinG contracts, believing that such
system of selling will be Of great ben
eft to our producers and indirectly to
all our people"

the land banks, loans must be confined

There has at last come split be-
tween former President Wilson ana
Joseph Tumulty, his former secretary.
The trouble has grown out Of the fact
that Tumulty has assumed to become
the Wilson mouthpiece and mentor 10
the extent that he would have the pub
lie believe that he and not Mr.. Will
son, is the real thing. Tumulty and
Cox are mixed up with Cox's continued
candidacy for the presidency. AT
jefferson day dinner in New York re-
Gently Tumulty published as q mes
SAGE from Wilson that Wilson did not
send. There was nothing in the mes
sage itself that anybody could not
stand for anywhere, except that Wilson
had not sent it. In backing Cox, Tu-
multy wanted to have it appear that
he was spokesman for Wilson and that
was about all. But Wilson does not
want to be represented as Tumulty's
dummy, and he made public the fact
that he did not send that message or
any other. Cox is continuing to harp
on. the entry of America into the league
Of nations; but there are many Demo-
Gratis who do not want. to be handi-
capped with this issue in the congress
sional races this summer. Also there
are many Democrats who don't like
the idea Of going into the next presi-
Dental campaign with Cox as their
standard bearer. They feel that the
league Of nations issue has played out,
and that they must have something
new, as well as new candidate.

American soldiers in Siberia, according

Regardless Of politics we are rather
in sympathy with that fight for a good
strong navy. The Washington disarm-
ament business sounds very well as a
matter Of sentiment, and it is all right
to keep armament in bounds. but it is
just as we'll not to let everybody else
get too far ahead Of us. 1t does not
require a great while to build big
army; but the building Of an adequate
navy is long and tedious process.

There is but small probability that
the senate will take any action on the
soldiers bonus bill before the Novem-
Der elections. The game seems to have
been to allow the house to put through
what looked like a reasonably liberal
bill, and then hanging it up in the
senate. After the candidates for re-
election have Dragged about what they
tried to do for the soldiers the bill
will either BE killed or indefinitely
pigeonholed by the senate.

Reduction of the re-discount rate of

shy on the necessary collateral and in
the second place they have not forgot
ten the def1ation lesson of recent years.

ApIIAL AFFAIQS
To Carry Niagara Power to New York

miles from Niagara. Up to this time,
Niagara power on the American side
has been used principally In Buffalo
and the surrounding territory as far
southwest as jamestown and West
field, and as far east as Syracuse.
The plans were revealed when the
Super-Power corporation asked the
Federal Power commission for pre-
liminary permits to develop the ad-
ditional water diversion to be author
lied in an amended treaty with Great
Britain.
The suggested amendment would al
low 50. 600 instead of $4,000 cubic feel
of water per second to be diverted.
1t Is understood the same application
was made to the New York State
Power commission in Albany.
Another project by the company will
be to make the present power canal
from La Sale to Lewiston suitable for
water transportation and also to al
low construction OF a public water
way from the upper Niagara to the
lower Niagara. The state of New York
already has granted permission for
this route, so that private interests
may be induced to bring about the
construction of a ship canal around
Niagara Falls on the American side.
Thus it is asserted an all-Ameriean
route would be furnished connecting
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, In place
of the Welland canal.

THE American army came out OF the
war with a vast amount of artil-
lery, but still lacks the Ideal types Of
guns and howitzers which a careful
postwar study by army experts IN
dlcstes to be the most desirable. On
tho basis of the report of the "callber
board" which made this study in 1918,
however. existing artillery equipment
has been apportioned among the troops
to approximate as nearly as possible
ideni conditions.
One striking fact was developed by
the "caliber board study. Despite the
enormous Increase In the amount of
artillery used by the contending armies,
the board concluded that 1.-THE princi-
pies of the use of field artillery on
tlnued unchanged"
Although the French coined the say
ing during the war that 1.-THE artil-
lery %conquers the infantry occupies
the ground" postwar studies do not
confirm this In American military opin-
ion, which holds that the infantry
armed with rifle and bayonet is the
main line of the army and all other
arms designed merely to aid the ad-
vance of the foot troops.
The "caliber board found that for
the purpose of American field opera.
