PUBLIC WITH WILSON.
To a greater degroo probably l hitn
any other man occupying their rc
gpective i ohiUouh in a decade. Wood
row \Yilatm, president, mid William J.
Bryan, gecrctary of stale, have in
spired ooufidence in the American
public. On the questions Unit the
public understands heat, iKHiioh relat
ing to domcatlr aTfairs, the public be
lieve* it ban found I beat* two men
right.
Tilts being so, it seems likely that
any attack on their manner of hand
ling foreign affairs will fall, lu for
eign affairs It is Impossible to know
all that is going on America certain
)y did not know all that was hap
pening under cover In Mexico till the
present administration lifted the lid
and exposed the intolerable condi
tions and it Is often the cßse that
the public must watch patiently while
the president or hlg secretary of slate
move as their good judgment dictates.
President Wilson i* as far from be
ing an Hlarmist as a man could be.
Careful consideration bus gone Into
every public utterance he has made.
Facia have a fixed habit of verifying
moat every contenilbn he brings for
ward So when ho says. "1 shall not
know- how- to deal with matters of
even greater delicacy and even nearer
Gtnsequences," unless hacked by con
gress in his foreign lolicy, the public
la tneltned to believe there Is real rea
eon for his declaration.
He has proved competent to an
amazing degree and honest beyond
question, and the public is with him.
Congress is showing it knows the
public is with him by its readiness in
concerting what he says the occasion
demands.
AN AUDACIOUS SUGGESTION.
Audacity and nerve of the amazing
sort is that which is announced from
Chicago. The attorney of the dyna
miters is drawing up a petition to he
presented to President Wilson asking
that his clients he pardoned
These men were members of the
National I'nlon of Structural Iron
Workers Their ttrre I followed the
awful disclosures In 1-os Angeles In
connection with the bUiwing up of the
Los Angeles Times tliitlding. They
were tried and convicted by the
United States government In Indian- i
spoils and were sentenced to various
terms in prison They didn't rellsn i
going to the penitentiary and appeal
ed their cases to the supreme court.
Thla tribunal denied them a new trial, '
meaning that they must servo their
sentences.
The dynamiting cases formed the
moat anarchistic tot of crimes ever
perpetrated in tree America. They
were worked out In a systematic man
ner. No job was too difficult or too
dangerous to be undertaken. The
hirelings of the conspirators carried
dynamite and infernal machines about
the country as they would honey, and
blew up buildings by clock-work, re
gardless of the damage to be done or
the lives imperiled It was the most
cold-blooded conspiracy Of the ccn
tury, and reflected so seriously upon
orginized Isbor titat friends of the
latter deserted It by the hundreds
It requires the outrage at 1-os An- ,
geles to bring the long series of
rrlmes to a turning point in (he road.
Simultaneously with the ar-est of ttie
McNamara brothers occurred arrests
in all parts of the country. The cam
paign of dynamite was conceited and 1
financed in the olfice ot the bridge
workers in indianapoli*. Hie out- I
.rages perpetrated were of such iirttg
nitude a* to lie a>ma*t unbelievable
And the men who are now to seek
| the pardon of President Wilson are
some two dozen of these arch con
' ► p!Tutors.
If President Wilson gives this petl
j t ton for a { union even respectful eon
l* Idem lion. he will drop in the estima
tion of thV public Organized labor
- will not sanction a pardon for thesn
| desperado**. No one will condone
i their offenses and no one will uphold
the nation's chief In even taking un
; der consideration the question of l»-
- suing a pardon.
To the pen with the whole R*ng
j and keep them there until their sen
tences have expired Then wntch
I them closely to see that they do not
get Into more deviltry.

Ireland rhfeftaln named Mlllc. Knr
five or mlx >ear* Patrick remained
with Mlhuc, looking after hi* master'*
rattle and dotnif such other work a*
vka* required of him.
Hut the hlk'h spirited youth natural
ly did not rell*h slavery, and at the
first opportunity he ran away, fleach*
IUK the coast, lie happened to strike
a vessel that was sailing for France,
upon which he secured passage. After
some four years In France, spent we
know not how, lie returned to hls na
tive Heotiand.
In Hcotlaml. however, Patrick was
not destined to remain. “Voices" be
gan appealing to him to return to the
areen island In which he had been
Milluc'M cattle-tender “The voice of
the Irish," he says, "cried out: *\\>
pray thee, come and henceforth walk
nmoiißst us.’ "
Patrick whs about thirty years old
at this time, and, chamcinK his name
from Hueat, or Kucceath, to Patrick,
he preseeded forthwith to obey the
voice that called him to Kiln
From all accounts the Irishmen of
that distant day were the worst pa
gans to he found anywhere on earth.
The Irishman never does anythin# by
halves. Kike the “old horse that lived
In clover, when he diet! he died all
over,” the Irishman, when he rocs Into
a thin#, K°es In “all over." No half*
hearted measures for the Irishman, ife
Votes the straiaht ticket or none at
all. So, when the Irish were pagan*,
they were real panaris and none of
your adulterated variety.
Hut Saint Patrick was not a man to
he Intimidated hy anything Ills origi
nal name, Hucceath signified “valor In
war." He was a horn fighter, |»or
sessed of a spirit unconquerable, mid
because he loved the Irish and wu de
termined to make Christians of them,
he permitted nothing to daunt him. hut
went right on with hi* work as fear
lens as though he had been gathering
flowers In u meadow full of skylarks.
And great was the victory that he
won. With unbounded love for the
Irish people with a perfect knowledge
juf the Irish language, and with un
limited grace and grit, Saint Patrick
won the victory of which It Is said:
“He found no Christians, and left no
heathen."
I’ur forty-four yt-ura Patrick lived
nnd labored among hlx Irishmen, dy
ing at Armagh. In 409. In 1:1s seventy
fourth year, beloved as hut few men
have been since the world began
And It Is no wonder, for, in addition
to tils saintly virtues, about which
there has never been so much as the
shadow of a suspicion, we are told.
Saint Patrick was a gentleman Now
upon unquestionable authority that
the first great prerequisites to gen
tlemantlnrss are kindliness amt con
sideration The man who Is invariably
t boughtful of others' feellnvs, nnd in
ills own feelings always warmly sym
pathetic with the misfortunes of Ills
fellows. Is a gentleman. Ami such,
from all m i (Hints, was the patron
saint of Ireland
Hence the wide human Interest that
is found ill Ills stot> c\en at tills dis
tant dm lienee the explanation of
ttie ven henrti. whole-souled fashion
In which, alter ttie l-tpse of almost
fifteen centuries, the nillltoiis of Irish
men scattered about the earth hall the
thought of “Saint Patrick's Day In
Hie Morning."
HEN DAY IN MISSOURI
(From the St. I .mils Republic.l
All hall the Missouri lien. Tills is
her "day of days." In lit meetings
on this day Missouri orators, near-ora

Missouri second. In that year some

That same report shows Missouri as
producing nearly 112.000,000 dozen of
eggs, if von want to know how many
separate and individual eggs there
were figure it for yourself. There
were enough to build pyramids, dam

St. Patrick Was
A Gentleman
(Henry Bennett.)
oh. St. Patrick was a gentleman.
Who came of decent people;
He built a church In Dublin town.
And on It put a steeple
Hls rather was a Gallagher;
Ills mother whs a Hrady;
Ills aunt was an o'HhAughnessy,
Ills uncle an O’Grady. *
Ho success attend St. Patrick’s fist,
for lies a Saint so clever;
o. he gave the snakes and toads a
tWfidt,
And bothered them forever!
The Wicklow hills are very high.
And so's the Hill of llowth. sir;
Hut there's u hill, much Idggcr still.
Much higher nor them both. sir.
'Twhs on the top of this high hill
SI. Patrick preached til* HHnniut,
Tlita drove the fogs Into the bogs.
And hanlshed all the varmlt.
So, success attend SI Patrick's fist,
etc.
Them'* not a mile In Ireland's isle
Where dirty varmln musters.
But there he put tils dear fore-foot,
And murdered them In clusters.
The toads went pop, the frogs went
hop,
Slap-dash Into the water;
The snakes committed suicide
To save themselves from slaughter.
So, success attend St Patrick's fist,
etc.
Nine hundred thousand reptiles blue
It echarmed with sweet discourses.
And dined on them at Killaloe
In soups and second courses.
Where blind worms crawling in the
grass
Disgusted all the nation.
He gave them a rise, which opened
their eyes
To a sense of their situation.
So, success attend St. Patrick's fist,
etc.
No wonder that those Irish lads
Should he so gay and frisky,
For sure St. Phl he taught them that.
Ah well as making whiskey;
No wonder tlmt ttie Saint himself
Should understand distilling.
Since his mother kept a Shebeen shop
In the town of Knnisklllen.
So, success attend St. Patrick's fist,

O, was I hut so fortunate
An to be back In Munster.
'Tis I’d l>e hound that from that
ground
I nevermore would once stir
For there St Patrick planted turf.
And plenty of the praties.
With pigs galore, nm gra. ilia 'store.
And cabbages and ladles!
Then my blessing on St Patrick's fist.
For lie's the darling Saint, O!
O, he gave the snakes and toads a
twist;
He's a beauty without paint. O!
A MAN OF DEEDS
(Washington Post.)
The death of George Westlnghouse,
Inventor of the air brake, which rev
olutionized railroading, calls to mind
the fact that there are two clhsm s of
men- those who do things and those
who talk about them.
George Westlnghouse ivas a man of
action. To him nnd to such men a*
Thomas A F iis< n George W. Goe
tlials. Janus .1 Hill and Alexander
Graham Hell the people of the i'liited
States owe a heavy debt of gratitude.
Illetor! is filled with the renown
of slat' smen amt warriors, but the
real builder* of the things that count
seldom get tile credit that is their due.
Teachers of youth, healers of the sick,
leaders In thought, and milkers of em
pires all play their splendid part in
the affairs of nun. hut the inventors,
builders and engineers actually have
turned the world from a wilderness in
to a land of miracles
Such men as Westlnghouse have
made the world a better place In which
to live The! protect the lives of
citizens from disaster: they wrest from
nature the full nmuaure of comfort and
happiness for all mankind, and by
making communication easier they
provide the means for the expansiox

Dr. Duty's Advice
(From the Boston Post.)
Don't knock your boss or the busi
ness you are in.
If you don’t like your boss, tell him
so —don't go rapping him behind hls
shoulder blades.
If you don’t like the business yout
boss Is in, get out of It. Yon can re
sign any day, you know—there Is no
string to you—the business will chisel
right along after you have gone.
But for the love of Pete, don't lot
your boss keep you in three squares
per day; don't let hint keep on giving
you an opportunity to pay for clothing,
rent and "tiler necessities of life, if
you are going to stab him Iti the buck.
If you can’t fie loyal, get out!
COMPULSORY EDUCATION
COMING
(Orangeburg Times and Democrat.)
A rather remarkable scene was wit
nessed In Spartanburg last Thursday.
Fifteen little negro hoys and girls had
hoen summoned into the magistrate's
office to testify in a murder case. None
of them, says the ‘‘Spartanburg Jour
nal, was over 12 years of age, and M't
each signed hls or her name legibly to
ttie testimony given. The fact was
N" forcibly presented to the mind of
the magistrate that ho suspended the
Investigation long enough to impress
upon the jury that negroes were edu
cating themselves without u compul
sory education bill.
The argument against compulsory
education, tltat It will educate the ne
groes, fails flat In the face of such
filets as the one stated above. No one
is opposed to education except those
too ignorant themselves to see good In
anything which they have not. Then
there are some who oppose compulsory
education, because they consider It an
invasion of the rights of parents to
govern the home. They believe that
n parent may condemn Its child to
ignorance for life, preventing the child
from reaching a position of competi
tion with those who receive common
school educations.
This view Is fust passing away and
llie time is near at hand when every
white child in South Carolina shall be
given the right to an education, with
the consent of the parents preferably,
hut If not, by the force of the law.

A NOVEL COUGH REMEDY
(From the Family Doctor.)
Tile following is from a doctor con
nected with an institution where there
are many children:
"There Is nothing more Irritable to
a cough than s cough. For sonic time
I bail been so fully assured of this
that I determined for one minute at
least to lessen the numbin' of coughs
heard in a certain ward in a hospital
of the Institution. By the promise of
rewards and punishments, I succeeded
in Inducing them to simply hold their
breath when tempted to cough, and ill
a little while l was myself surprised
to see how some of the children en
tirely recovered from the disease.
"Constant coughing." continues toe
doctor, "is precisely like scratching a
wound on the outside of the hod!. So
long as it is done the wound will not
heal. Let a person, when tempted
to cough, draw a long breath and hold
it until It warms and soothes every
air ceil, and some benefit will soon he
received from this process The nitro
gen which is thus rFflned acts as an
anodyne to tho mucous membrane, al
laying the desire to cough and giving
the throat and lungs a chance to heal.
At the same time, s suitable medicine
will'nib Nature in her effort to recu
perate."
THE SELF'S POWER.
(from "The Power of Mental Demand."
hy Herbert Kdward Law. publish
ed hy Paul KUler * Co.)
Do not look too much td Influences
beyond, powers external to us. \Ye are
apt to look too little to the things
which arc within ourselves. Bound up
within us there is a genius and a pow
er of achievement the depth and ex
tent of w hich depends entirely upon
us and our efforts Growth, develop
ment. increase In power must come
from within The man or woman, to
achieve, must he horn again. Accom
plishment is the result not of fitness,
hut of determination to he fit; not of
preparedness, hut of striving for prep
aration.
