And sway in summers golden hue
Even the birds are happy
AS the sun draws up the morning
dew.
This is like Il lovely girl
That was happy and gay it seems,
For a girl like her is one
That would suit anyone's dreams
Her voice is like that of a Nighten

Singing in the early morn,
Her love is like that of a little dove
That is pure and free from scorn.
She always gave me n hearty welcome
Until one day there came
A change in the tide of lovely foam
And she CHANGED to change her A.

I did not want to go away :

I'm wishing her lot of happiness
Instead of sorrow and woe. - 5

A THIRD TERM?
Journal.

The Times is indebted to The State for the fol-
lowing editorial which appeared in the New York
World 26 years ago. 1t was written about Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, but which many persons
believe would aptly apply today:
1.-THE menace of the Roosevelt campaign does not
like in the third term tradition but in the state Of
mind that could desire four years more of Roose-
welt in the White House, four years more of per-
sonal government, four years more of presidential
Iawlessness, four years more of autccratic rule,
four years more of executive contempt for con-
gress, courts and constitution, four years more OF
GENERALIZATION, four years more of wanton extrava-
gance, four years more of denunciation and dema-
gogy-in the state of mind that wants the new
national aims that wants federal interference with
every form of human industry and activity, that
wants the states stripped of their power that wants
the minority deprived of all the safeguards against
the tyranny of the majority, and Bureaucracy sub
stituted for the Bill of Rights.
"The danger does not lie in popular indifference
to the third term tradition but in popular indfer-
ence to the fundamental principles of liberty upon
which the Republic was established.-Georgetown
Times.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
AGAINST SOUTH

Last Saturday night James Roosevelt, son of the
President, made Jackson Day speech in Framing
ton, Mass. This extract from news report of his
speech is of interest, or should be, down here:
James Roosevelt, the Presidents son and secre-
tary, said today he favored revision of the wages
and hours bill to enable Massachusetts, to compete
with southern states on an equal basis"
The Greenville Piedmont makes this comment on
this statement by President Roosevelts son.
Southern ndustrialists long have charged that
the administration favoring other sections as
against the South in this legislation Son James
testimony tends to support the charge"
Surely even though slowly it is dawning on
southern citizens as it is southern representa-
tves in the congress that this and other proposals
have definite object in mind, viz: to hobble the
South.
The population of northern and eastern states
is the object of the vote-hunters of notable class
The South has been played with as long as it was
profitable.
And the inevitable awakening of the South and
it's possibilities for all sorts of developments are
not looked upon with glowing pleasure in other
sections
The old tactics of other days may be too crude
to employ but there are other ways and this seems
to be much in evidence-Greenwood Is. c. Index

FORTY THOUSAND LIVES

Nearly forty thousand persons were killed in
automobile accidents in the United States in 1887.
The American Automobile Associations tentative
first count places the number at 39,243.
That would be terribly shocking except for the
fact that it is only about five per cent more than
in 1896.
1t is horrible record, just the same.
A war that lasted year and cost US forty thou
sand lives, besides half million other casualties
that is the estimate Of the number of people hurt
in automobile accidents in the year-would be moth
ing less than a major war, with the whole nation
aghast over the awful slaughter.
Because these others are lives sacrificed in the
ordinary course of business and traffic or merely
in the pursuit of pleasure, we think little or moth
ing about it if it does not touch us closely.
1t is actually major national disaster, like that
for which the Red Cross might spend millions in
relief
And it is likely to go on until the nation is
aroused it might be aroused over some other but
less commonplace catastrophe-Rock Hill Herald

THEY ARE AGAINST FARMERS

The seven southern governors committing them
selves to the principle of the wage-hour legisla-
ton pending in congress committing themselves
for unlimited hours and no minimum wage to farm
labor and certain other forms of labor If any of
them go before the people in primary it will be
as champions of certain kinds of labor to the ex-
cusion of the men who piow, chop cotton, slop the
pigs, feed the mules, milk the cows and look after
the hens and eggs. The principle" in the wage
hour legislation is to let the producers of cotton,
tobacco, all farm commodities, work the flesh off
their BONES, so or 70 hours week, so that other
people shall have lOw-priced food and raw ma
terials and enjoy "the more abundant hfe." These
governors while arraying themselves as the friends
of certain classes of labor array themselves against
the farmers, and they should not be allowed to get
away from that if they come to be candidates in

LIFE is CHRISTIAN
SCIENTISTS THEME

"Life" was the subject of the
lesson-sermon in all Christian
Science churches and societies on
Sunday.
The golden text was from John
l Ia. "In the beginning was the
word, and the word was with God,
and the word was God. In
him was life; and the life was the
light Of men,"
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon was the
following from the Bible: "For to
be carnally minded is death, but
to be, spiritually minded is life
and peace" from. 8:G).
The lesson-sermon also includ-
ed the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence & Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
The continual contemplation of
existence as material and cor
poreal-as beginning and ending,
and with birth. decay, and disso-
luton as its component. stages
hides the true and spiritual life,
and causes our standard to trail
in the dust. If life has any start
ing-point whatsoever, then the
great / am is a myth. If life is
God, as the Scriptures imply, then
life is not embryonic, at is in
finite" page 55O).

W7ASHINGTON.-Ine yen OF Ine
" American people for peace
dies hard, and probably will con-
tinue to plague Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull.
That is the most significant as
pect of the House vote against
consideration of: the Ludlow
amendment for a popular refer
endum on war. in which 1873 con-
gressmen-pushed on by popular
preSsure-voted for consideration
of the measure, as against 200
members who voted to kill it. The
209 were backed by an eXtraor-
binary degree of official and
other pressure.
In future dealing with Japan,
Germany, and Italy-especially
Japan-RooSevelt and Hull want
to be in a position to be just as
hard-boiled as they think the sit
uation requires.
Hull is fond of saying that
down in his Tenn. see country if
couple of men meet in the
woods and have an argument and
one man has left his gun 60. PAGES
back and the other only IS PAGES,
there's no question of who wins
the argument.
There is also a strong group,
represented in the administration
as we'll as in Congress, which
seeks a check on executive dis
cretion in foreign affairs, distrusts
Roosevelt's fondness for taking
chances and making spectacular
gestures, and deploreS official re-
version to the national honor"
school of thought.
Strong peace sentiment every
where has caused Roosevelt and

punches ever since the Chicago

Ludlow vote in the light of the
fact that it was cast under as in
tense cheat" as the administration
ever has applied.
Roosevelt; Hull, Speaker Bank
head, Majority Leader Sam Ray
burn and lesser leaders went their
full limits to kill the amendment.
Lobbyists for the American
Legion and Veterans of Foreign
Wars, although without mandate
from their memberships and per-
haps primarily concerned with
keeping their stand-ins with the
War Department, threw all their
famous strength against it.
The idea was widespread that
the Ludlow amendment was a
cockeyed proposal, perhaps as
likely to get the country into war
as to keep it out.
And finally the administration
had been immensely strengthened
by the bombing of the Panay
which it had carefully used to bat
down "peace-at-any-price" senti-
ment. -...
If there had been no Panay in
Cident the Ludlow amendment
would have been voted out to the
House floor.
Yet there were those 1873 votes
and they stand as a porte:lt.
1t is never easy to segregate such
a vote as between members who
vote from conviction, those influ-
enced by organized Hobbies anc
those responding to vociferous ex-
preSSionS from constituents.
But tens of thousands of persons
merely read about the var refer
endum proposal in the newspapers
and were impelled to write their
