CAROLINIAN AFTER GRAFTERS

CAROLlNlAN AFTER CHAPTERS
Passage by the national house Of
representatives several days ago of
the bill providing half million dol
lars to prosecute war grafters may be
accepted in this county as due largely
to the activities of I.aurens county
man, II. l.. Ecaifc, formerly of Clinton
but more recently employed by the
government as an investigator of war
contracts.
Several weeks ago the enormous
amount of graft secured by war con-
/. tractors was exposed in a letter writ
+ ten by Mr.. Scaife and quoted in a
speech by Representative Timothy L..
Woodruff of Michigan. In the letter
Mr. Scaife charged that every effort 10
. bllnS these rascals to justice had been
frustrated by men high up in the gov
ernment service. TO Attorney General
Daugherty himself was ascribed much
OF the blame for the apathy surround
>hS the entire investigation and prose-
cut!on, the charges ofMr. Scaif6 caus-
'-'S q '9'ii III oiiltlul circles Ill wash
lhSton. representative Woodruff, who
seems from a distance to be one of a
rare kind who believes in performing
palntu! duties rather than talking
ABOUT them, has followed up the ex-
posures and recommendations of Mr..
Scaife with undertaking determination
with results so far which appear very
promising to tho government and mn
promising to some Of the graftcrs.
IN view of the fact that prosecution
OF these war Drofiteers, if any prose
cution takes place at all, will result
laTselS from the activities Of South
>arollnan, it would seem that undi
vldcd support and endorsement wonld
be given it by this state. Yet tho
speech OF Representative .WGoodruff
circulated among the newspapers of
this state, has been largely ignored
ana actually snecred at BY at least one
tromlnent daily in this state. With
snch apathy toward such a public
scandal as he and Mr. Sca!fe have ey-
posed it is no wonder that millions OF
cellars due the government have IN

There were last year adult schools in
80 counties with an enrolment of TO-,

Through the night schools many
Carolina have equipped themselves to
be better citizens because they can
now mark their own ballots and read
to acquire that information as to pub
lie men and affairs which each citi-
zen should have. There are still, how
ever. 17,173 white men and 1898 white
women in this State who can neither
read nor write, SO that the task Of
these schools is still tremendous.
AS recognition Of the magnificent
work she has done for the reduction
of illiteracy, as an encouragement to
her in her future efforts for that pur-
pose, and as a recognition Of the con-
tribution women have made and are
still making to the upbuilding Of cdu-
cation in this State, at least one of
the chairmanshiOs should so be con-
fewed upon her by the State Demo
cratic convention.
The Piedmont, therefore, has the
honor to nominate for one Of the chair
nYlnships South Cardinals Joan of Arc
in the triumphant war against litter
acy, Miss Wil Lou Gray Of Laurens.-

DEMOCRATS MAKE ATTACK
On TARIFF MEASURE

Washington, May 6-Developments
pending tariff bill included the filing
Of the minority report attacking the
measure, approval Of the finance COM
mittce amendments, increasing the du-
ties on Tactic acid and an formal dis
cussion among republican leaders of
measures designed to speed up senate
action.
Night sessions beginning next Tues
day with view Of forcing curtailment
Of debate were among subjects dis
cussed by the leaders, but no decision
was reached.
Three roll calls were demanded by
the democrats on the Tactic acid
paragraph but the committee amend
ments under which the rates on this
acid would be from 2 cents to 8 cents
a pound in place of the house duties
Of from 12 cents to 5 cents were ac-
cepted by substantial majorties on al
most strictly party votes.
The minority report on the bill
was filed by Senator Simmons, of
North Carolina, ranking democrat on
the finance committee, who asserted
that if properly entitled the tariff
would be termed as IAN act to mort
gage the country and it's resources to
the protected and monopolized indus
tries"
Declaring that the atmosphere of
the capitol had been surcharged for
IS months with the "frenzied clam
or of the protected industries for pro
hibitive rates." the report said these
interests believed that the embargoes
and prohibitions would do for them
now what embargoes and prohibitions
did for them during the war.
THE rates imposed in this bill"
the report continued, "are rates that
in their operation, while not enhanc-
ing the prices Of labor Oh operating in
any way in the interest of labor, will
irresistably tend to the maintenance
of high profits and prices of which the
people now complain and furnish an
opportunity to further increase these
prices, while the power to further in
crease these rates vested in the presi-
dent will operate as an invitation to
invoke the exercise Of these extra
executive powers when the prescribed
rates are not sufiicint to safeguard y
protected producers against the risk
of foreign competition in case they
may wish to raise their prices above
the level Of the protection against
such competition afforded by the rates
written in the bill"
Senator Simmons further asserted
that prospects of the bill were actu-
ated by the belief that the only way
to afford protection against foreign
competition "is to double the dizzy
heights of the vrotcction wall and to
SO out-Aldrich, as to make him and his
memory anathema to his quandom
idolatrous followers"

Mr.. Garrett said that crop conditions

amounting in most cases to 20 per
cent, effective Feb. 10. New Hamp-
