In the current issue of the Lancas-
ter News, George 3. Craven, who has
been editor Of the paper for the past
four and a half years announces his
retirement and Judge Ira B. Jones an
nounces his succession to the manage
ment of the paper. Mr.. Craven takes
occasion to say that the strange con-
ditions in Lancaster, the Springs Boy
colt and the Springs-Jones controversy
have nothing to do with his retire
ment, which he says, is not only from
Lancaster, but from the newspaper
business. Judge Jones pays high trib-
ute to Mr.. Craven and his wife and eX-
presses the opinion that so good a
newspaper man as Mr.. Craven can
hardly remain long out Of the business.
While it is not difficult for The York
vile Enquirer to conceive reasons why
Mr. Craven should be ready to. quit, it
is not necessary to express these rea-
sons. We do not hesitate, however, to
say that in our Judgment Mr.. Craven
has acquitted himself ably and honor
ably in his position, and there are few
newspaper mon in the state who have
held his job down for so long with as
much credit.

going to tell it even though the joke
was largely on himself. But those
who were with me told me to be sure
not to tell you their Names" he eau

"Well I got 'em on and calling in

Politics is battle between the ins
and outs. The ins want to stay in and
the outs want to get in. Usually both
sides deny this; but if it were not this
way there would not be much politics
The turning out Of those heads of de-
partments in the bureau of engraving
and printing has raised a big row.
Sure. If the Democrats had closed out
the Republicans, it would have been
the same thing. Sure. And when the
Democrats get back in power they will
act just as the Republicans have acted
Sure. And the Republicans will be
raising the row. Sure. And the Demo-
Gratis will cite Republican precedent.

Columbia April 6s That John E.
Swcaringen, state superintendent of
education, would have no lack of
backing in school circles should he
cast his nat into the gubernatorial
ring this summer was made clearly
evident at the meeting OF county SUI
perintendentS of education. recently
held in this city. The resolution,
which was adopted almost unanimous
ly by the county superintendents Of
education, has just leaked out and
yesterday when Mr.. Swearingen was
asked about it he expressed the wish
that nothing be said about 1t, as he
hes yet made no announcement that
he would run for governor and he
said he feared the schools might suf-
fer from the rumor. 1t has been the
custom of Mr.. Swearingen for q num-
Der OF years to assemble the county
superintCnden,s of education in Col
umbia soon after the close Of the
legislature. so that he might discuss
with them the new laws which had
been passed with regard to the pub
lie schools. These meetings have
been found very helpful and have been
well attended. This year every coun-
ty in the state, except about II, had
its superintendent OF education at the
meeting. II is understood that at one
of the conferences n county superin-
tcndent arose and proposed that the
meeting of superintendents 60 on re-
cord as endorsing Mr.. SwearinGen's
candidacy for governor should he en-
ter the race. At the time Mr. Swear
ingen was in the chair and lie at once
ruled the motion out Of order and it
did not come to vote. Later during
the meeting. when S. J. Wall, super
intendcnt of education Of Marion, took
the chair, the matter was again
broached, and the resolution was
adopted heartily. Since Mr.. Swearin-
gen had not announced any intention
of running for governor, it was aCrecd
according to rumors on the street, to
mike no mention of the resolution
through the public print lest the
schools should suffer.

Connor and ]. Henry Behling, counsel
for the accused, were present. The
attorneys for the defense did not take

The main interest in the Genoa con-
ference centers in the efforts Of the va
rious nations to bring about with Rus
sia a reapproachment whereby trade
relations may be restored. Russia is
without question the best market in
the world for foreign goods. She needs
almost everything, especially locomo-
tives, agricultural machinery, clothing,
as we'll as food. She has many things
that the balance of the world wants,
including gold and other metals. and
oil. The form of her government is
distasteful to all other governments,
and full recognition is a proposition
over which the other governments are
extremely reluctant. But Germany
needs Russia in order to get on her
feet and the other governments want
Germany to set on her feet so that she
can pay 1t is hoped that ut Genoa an
understanding can be arrived at where
by trade relations may be re- establish
ed between Russia and the balance of
the world, and Russia also hopes to
get out of the situation full and COM
plete recognition of her Soviet govern
ment.
