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. Saint Patrick March 17,396 tfulnt I*Mtrlck win born, arrordlnx th** moat r«ll«bl* account that w« havi*. In tlie* ymr at Hanncriin, T»»h**r»ihi. Scotland. In nil probability I'HiintTiin correspond* with the mod ern I >um barton. When a hunt *ixtr*r*n year* old Pat - rick w*h <a|»tur<-ri l»> « hand of ptratr* and t*k«n to Ireland where he wa* sold a* #i slave to a noted north of 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 tors and poultry raisers arc crowing and cackling the praises of the lien of old Missouri. Rack in lull', when the census tak ers combed the country as with n line toothed comb, Illinois was ranked as first In poultr> production, with Missouri second. In that year some thing like 32,000,000 fowls were raised in the "Show Me" country. 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 rivers and wall cities. The hen of Missouri was just get ting into her stride, so to speak, at that time.

Reduced tax rate*! Bueintie government, managed in businett fashion! Employee choeen for efficiency rather than for their ability to poll wards I An awakened civic conscience and civic epirit! Thoee are just a few advantages the more than three hundred eitiee that have adopted commission government have got out of the new rule. Without exception the meeesget from the cities that have the re form tell how commission govern ment has brought efficiency out of inefficiency; how it hac arouced a new interest on the part of the citizens in their municipal govern ment. The testimonials of tome of theee commission government cit ies are here given: That rommlsMlon government spells efficiency and economy In public work and turns (tiles from mm nils to business rule is the opinion of city engineers. They, of all city mans gem, are In a position to si-e them: very points. Krxni the standpoint of the city en gineer. commission govern men r means the elimination of red tape nnd u hav ing in the cost of public improve ments. Much Is the testimony of city engi neers of commission ruled cities con tained In letters written to the Non partisan Commission government l-eugue. GOD GIVE US MEN God give us men. The time demands Strong minds, great hearts .true faith nnd willing hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who (give honor; men who will 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.

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, etc. 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.

O, he gave the snakes and toads a twist; He's a beauty without paint. O! A MAN OF DEEDS (Washington Post.)

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA "Tho etty'a records ahuw that th* cost of Improvements under our pres ent form of government Is very much less tlmn under the alrtertnunlc form," sata A. T. Dickey, city engineer ot Galveston, Texas. "Under commission government »* have tieen alilo to construct two aub wuya for which our aldermen had tieen lighting twenty years," write* W. U, Seeley, city engineer of Springfield, 111. "Open competition la provided In our city In the matter of public works." aaya Silvester Q. Gannon, city en gineer of Salt l.ake Glty. "Till* means a consequent lowering of priced for the various classed of Improvements. The cost of ’practically all public. Im provernenta had been lower In the past two years than at any time, I think. In the city's history. The percentage cmd of engine-ring anil of Inspection of public Improvements la lower than heretofore, and a better quality of ma terials and workmanship la obtained." Th-' ti-Ktlmony of Other engineers of commission governed cities follows. . Denver. Colo., II K. Mery weather. City Knglneer we find that much red tape has been eliminated tn the trans action of burliness sinc« commission government went Into effect atioqt the first of last June. We also find that matters concerning the conduct of the office of engineer and the tralnactlon of business can be expedited much mure rapidly tlmn under the old sys tem. Dor piyrolls for the engineering department have been gradually de creasing since commission government became effective. not lie; Men who can stHnd before n dema gogue And dam his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, Jun-crow nod, who live above the fog In public duty nnd In private think ing! 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. KD MISC 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.
