Marvin pretty well and liked him. He
had always worked with the faction OF
the party with which we were aligned
In the social club in which a good deal
of the political policy of the state was
framed we began to hear talk inimical
to Tom. 1t mystified us. So far as
we knew, he had always been a good.
reliable worker. Whats the matter
with Tom ?" We asked. and they told
US. It seemed that in a campaign
some eight or ten years previously he
had given his word and had failed to
keep it. The faction to which Tom
belonged controlled the convention
which selected the delegates and Tom
was slaughtered. 1t was presented to
the public as the spectacle of an ar
rogant and overbearing political ma
chine riding roughshod over the body
of one of its faithful retainers. The
public never knew the INSIDE" story
of Toms defeat. There was nobody to
tell it. A good many of the political
outrages are equally fanciful-
The political feud between David
Gano and Fritz McWilliams was his
toric- 1t had existed for years. Gano
was fighting editor with a wealth of
vituperation at his command Nc
Williams was a state senator, popu-
larry supposed to have corporation
leanings. Gano had seen to that.
They abused each other savageIy year
the mass meeting called TO launch the
candidacy of Orville P. Macy for gov
ernor. During a hull in the meeting
they publicly Rugged each other on
the stage of the Lyric theater. They
marched arm and arm thru that cam
paign and still recline on the same
fractional bosom. Gano is a good citf-
zen and so is McWilliams. When the
whirligig of politics brought them to-
gether in the train of the same can
didate for governor they forgot all Of
their amin ositfes. But the public re
m members them. 1t still believes Nc
Williams to be a crook and that Gano
is What McWilliams said he was
which latter is unprintabl bic.

FISHING.
Fishing's fun most any time.
But I've never found 1t quite
So complete with juggling rhyme.
Rest, and comfort and delight,
As it was those lazy days
When we trod the dusty ways
OF our boyhood with n pole
To our favorite fishing hole.
1 have fished with fancy bait,
Fished with rods Of Bristol steel,
1 have heard with soul elate
That sweet music of the reel,
But I've never caught the joy
That was mine when as boy
Fishing, in the humber terms.
Meant pole, a hook and worms.
1 have tried it year by year.
Tried to see above my head
Skies as blue and bright and clear,
And the robins breast as red
AS they were, but gil in vain
Boyhood never comes again.
Then day was filled with dreams.
Now dumbly wade the streams.
Take a boy and let him lie
Underneath 4 willow tree,
And above him in the sky
Countless pictures he Will sec;
Youth will sing its song to him
BY the rivers silver brim.
But an old man. fishing there,
Struggles to forget his care

Removal of the federal tax on pas
senger fares and reduction on excur-
sion rates have greatly stimulated
railroad travel. A reduction in regu-
lar fares still further would improve
the railroad earnings. The SO per
cent surtax collected by them on Pull
man fares has no excuse for continue
ton. Samuel Hopkins Adams, writ
ing on the subject of railway traffic
in Leslie's. says that except in a few
isolated instances it does not seem to
have occurred to the railroads that
the way to gain patronage is to tempt
it by favorable offerings. In an era
when both commodity and service
prices are decreasing, passenger fares
stay up. Consequently, traffic falls
off. If the railroads alone suffered,
this would be bad enough. But the
stagnating influence cannot but per-
meate all business since the railroads
form the circulatory system of trade.
A distinguished railroad president re
Gently admitted. in a semi-public
speech. that fares must come down
sooner or later. If eventually. why
not now? To wait for revenues to
increase while maintaining a status
which inevitably lessons them by the
prohibitory cost OF travel Is queer
financial tactics. Since the reduction
must come, the time to put It into
effect is the present. No one other
factor would so effectively contribute
TO the still hating revival of trade.

When the worker thought his job was

worst fear that could assail him.
In such circumstances. it is not sur

TO PETITION LEGISLATURE
viii Ask That All Bootleggers Be
Sent to Jail

The Pickens w. G. T. U. placed in
circulation Tuesday petitions for peo-
pie of Pickens county to sign asking
that our county legislative delegation
use it's efforts to have the state liquor
laws changed SO that convicted viola
tors would have to serve sentence on
chain gang instead of given the pri-
vilege of paying fine.
Following is the wording on the
petition:
To the Senator and Representatives
of Pickens County:
We, the undersigned citizens and
voters of Pickens county hereby re-
spectfully petition that you use your
best efforts and endeavors to so amend
the liquor laws Of this State as to
eliminate and abolish fine as part
of the sentence imposed.
We are of the opinion that the laws
as administered today are ineffective
to prevent the illegal traffic in liquor
and do not believe conditions will i'm
prove until the laws are so changed
as to make every violation misdc-
meanor punishable by imprisonment
only, and this we earnestly and re-
spectfully ask that you do at the ap-
preaching session of the Legislature.
