Here is a mystery the big and little politicians of this town are trying to solve was Hitchcock Insubordinate, or did the president appoint him to "try it on the dog," as the theater folk say T The postmaster general has sug gested and openly advocated the ac quisition of telegraph lines, making them a part of the. postal system. One story ts that the president is an gry and resolved that Mr. Hitchcock shall resign, from his cabinet because of his unwarranted activity In that behalf. Another is that the presi dent prompted his postmaster gen eral and will enter into the scheme or reject-it, as public opinion may view it. Twenty years ago' this proposition would have horrified the country, but today public opinion approves it and it is not unlikely It will be in both platforms. But suppose both parties adopt the bantling, and the country endorses it by a tremendous major ity, will we get it? Not unless the telegraph companies agree. In the time of Louis XV. a French marquis, with more quarterings than an Aus trian archduke, died, and iu a with drawing room of the Faubourg St. Germaine the deceased was the sub ject of discussion, when an aristo cratic old lady ventured the opinion that God would hesitate a long time ere He consigned to perdition a man with as noble a pedigree as tneir ae parted friend's; and congress will hesitate a long time ' before It will visit any cruelly adverse legislation upon the men who own tne telegrapn lines. . x How long did it take to get an In come tax amendment through con gress? Many years. And when it was finally submitted to the states, what was Its fate? It Is on its beam's ends, though there is not a state In this union, not even Rhode isiana, that would not give the thing an over whelming majority if submitted to a popular vote. And then your Fourtn of July orntor will congratulate you on the fact thnt you are one of a gov ernment of the poeple, for. the people, and by the people. Bosh! Is it strange that grave and philosophic statesmen of both parties have come to give not only their passive assent, but cordial approval, to the Initiative, the referendum, and the recall? These things would not have been dreamed of by the most impractical visionary if public servant had not been faith less to public trusts. The people are in favor of parcels post, and a house of representatives presided over by Joseph G. Cannon himself put the thing in a general appropriation bill. The senate osten sibly was for it by a large majority. It went out on a point of order, and it will be in the nature of the miracu lous if we have a parcels post within 10 years. It is said that there are five conclusive reasons against it the Adams Express company, 'the United States Express company, the Well-Fargo Express company, the American Express company, and the Southern Express company, all prac tically one express company, and their gains are simply stupendous. Indeed, congress wlU hesitate long before it legislates to loosen the grip of these on the public. One excuse is that the thing is unconstitutional. Madame Roland suggested that In France many crimes were commltteed In the name of Liberty, and with us many an abuse is entrenched behind narrow construc tions of the constitution. In Europe, a subject of the British crown, or a citizen of the French re public, can send a message by wire for one-fifth what it costs a citizen of the American republic. Why? Over there the- telegraph is a public utility operated for the convenience and ad vantage of the people. With us the telegraph is private property, oper ated to augment the already prodigi ous fortunes of its owners. -It Is capi talized at many times its actual cost, and has drunk more water than the Ku Klux Klan. - When Jay Gould saw a railroad he coveted, he issued West ern Union stock, put it on the market, sold it, got the money for It, ' and bought enough stock of the rullroad to give him control. Then he pro ceeded to wreck the road and make millions out of the "reorganization, It Is not extravagant to estimate that a sum represented by. the wntered stock of the Western Union would con struct ten lines such as it is. The government has a monopoly of the transmission of Intelligence by mull, and why should It not take over the business of the conveyance of In telligence by wire? Jt did It In the beginning. John Sharp Williams Is a democrat from skin to marrow and from .marrow to skin, and he Is In favor or acquiring the telegraph and operating It In the. Interest of the pub lic for the convenience' and advan tage of the people and John Sharp is one statesman whom any democrat may safely follow blindfolded. He is the grandest democrat' In official llfo today. ..' .. -., This Mr. Hitchcock Is known as the business man In politic, a- practical man. He was trained by George B. Cortelyou and, in 1908, President Roosevelt selected him to .manage Taft's campaign for the republican nomination. He navigated the steam roller after the fashion the widow kept hotel, and flattened out all oppo sition. Then he became the successor of Cortelyou as chairman of the na tional committee, chief of staff of the G. O. P and there never was one "The Best by Every Test" "WhitO Label Bleu - moment of doubt of. the success of the enterprise. His reward was a sea); in the. cabinet as postmaster general,! which gave him command of the no ble and unselfish, army, of postmasters In the south. ; Mr. Hitchcock .found a- deficit in the revenues of the department, which he turned into a surplus at public expense. He increased the postage on registered mail two cents the let ter, or package. That was an injury to business, a hardship on the people, and it cost the public Infinitely more than it was worth. If regular postage were reduced one-half It would make an enormous deficit in the revenues of the department; but the advantage to the people would be worth fivefold as much." It Is false economy for the government to' make money by the service. ... - But Hitchcock ts all right in his ad vocacy qf the parcels post and the acquisition of the telegraph, which Intter should be a government monop oly. And If public opinion shall force a reluctant and faithless congress to take over the express, telegraph and telephone services, it will be due to the fact that those in pontrol of these vast concerns have used them te ex tort unconscionable gain from the people. There is nothing more certain than that the government will ultimately take them over, but not now. ; Washington, Jan. 25. - YOUNS BOYS ARE HELD FOR URGENT Of PEAS They Stole Two Bushels From Warehouse of H. C. John son It Is Alleged ' v Roy Davis and Artio Meadows were arraigned before Justice of the Peace W. R. Gudger this morning on the charge of stealing two bushels of peas from H. C. Johnson. The evidence against them being somewhat con clusive, probable cause was found against them and they were bound over to Superior court It developed la the testimony that Wiley- Hender son was also connected with the transactions of the other boys and he was held under a like indict ment All are boys of about 16 years of age and the testimony of the officer who made the arrest and Mr. Johnson was too strong to allow that they be turned loose on account of their youth. The officer had found them with a half bushel of the peas which they were trying to sell, some more of them had been located that had al ready been sold, and the sack contain ing these was identified by Mr. John son, who said that they had been tak en from his warehouse. -- -' tThe two' boys who were first arrest ed pleaded not guilty to the charge and the evidence was all in and they had been bound over when the Davis boy said that he wished to make a statement. He was sworn and then turned state's evidence against Wiley Henderson. Henderson had testified in the case against the other two boys and said tht they had given him the peas to del), saying that it was their property. When young Davis went on the stand, he said that Henderson had suggested that they go Into Mr. John son's warehouse and steal some corn and sell it and after they had made the raid and found no corn they Jiad taken the peas. He said the reason he made the statement was because he thought all who had anything to do with the transaction should fare alike. The court bad had an idea' from the first that Henderson was closely connected with the whole affair but as he said he worked every day the court said that he could go. He gave his age at 1$ but his father who was in the court room said that he is not yet 15. Since these statements were so' contradictory the boy. was held n the felony eharge Jor . the higher court to determine aa to whether he could really be tried for it. - FRENCH POST OFFERED TO MYRON T.

During the first nine months of 1864 alii the anti-administration republi cans in the United States were sure that Abraham Lincoln could not, be re-elected president. ' The opposition to Lincoln's renom- Jnation was as strong and well organ ized aB th opposition to Taft's renom- Ination. . . His own cabinet was disloyal. Sal mon P. Chase,-his secretary of the treasury, was Intriguing for the presi dency. The western radicals wanted Fremont, precisely as the weBtern rad icals today are screaming for Roose velt. Thad Stevens, who was the re publican leader of the house, was strongly opposed to Lincoln. Greeley, Wade and Davis were against him be cause they believed he would be de feated and that the election of a dem ocratic president would mean national disaster. Wendell Phillips wanted "a statesman and patriot" In place of Lincoln. ' .i. i. - The Nfew York Herald had sug gested Grant's nomination and there was a strong sentiment in favor or tne hero of Vlcksburg. A moss-meeting of the Fremont faction of Lincoln's opponents was held in Cleveland the week before the Baltimore convention. Its attitude toward. Lincoln was sim liar, to the attitude .of the Roosevelt "Progressive", t republicans toward Tuft. ,.;, .'. w. ... . Even after Lincoln was renomlnat ed his campaign.. managers regarded defeat as probable... Lincoln himself shared their fears. . As late as August 2a, 1S64, he gave a sealed, memoran dum to Sticretpsy-Wullus which read us follows: ,., .! .. This morning, s for some days past,, It seems exceedingly probable that this administration will not be re elected. Then It will be my dutyto co-operate with, the president-elect so as to -save, the- union between i. the election and the inauguration, as he will have secured his election on such ground that he cannot possibly save It afterward. , i. . . . ' Yet in spite of -all this despondency Lincoln polled 2,216,067 votes to Mc- Clelian's 1,808,725 and had 212 elec torial votes to McCIellan's 21. William H. Taft is not another Abraham Lincoln .and 1912 , is not 1864, but it Is easily possible that the antl-Taft politicians of this generation may be no, better prophets than the anti-Lincoln politicians of a preceding generation. Taft, like Lincoln, may be much stronger- than he seems. Politics is full of surprises. New York World.. . BENDING-THE KNEE ' Somebody who has never danced at a royal ball or played bridge at a royal table wants to know "why the wife of the American Ambassador to England should bend her knee to one of the so-called royal family while In this country.''' He' can understand readily enough, why the knee should be bent "at court in London," where it is the usage, but "it is not usage in this country." - We. Imagine- that the critic would change his mind if somebody , con ferred on him the 'Order of the Red Eagle, third degree, or invited him to eat beefsteak free-' -of charge inside the glass pavilion sof the winter pal ace. But never -having been .honored In any of the ways 'mentioned, he ob jects to a lady bending her knee when she wants to. Why -shouldn't the wife of the Amrrican Ambassador to England, or the wife of anybody else, bend her knee if she wants to? It is her knee, and being stiffrnecked does not in any way Impair the resiliency of the knee joint. is Besides, republl caniOTi, does not mean incivility, nec essarily, and American ladles have been known to bend' the knee to a simple guest .thereby, evincing hospi tality of a high order. The royal family Is not "so-called." It is the royal family. It represents therefore, the sovereignty of - the greatest Empire In the world. One may detest the character of a king and yet 'do homage to htm as the representative of millions : or good men and true. Moreover, American society, so-called, not having any offi cial standing at home, dotes on recr ognltion from abroad. " And H is will ing to bend one knee or twenty knees to get it. It may be observed, how ever, that the president of the United States, representiiitj,! also a sovereign people, did not bend- the tknee and refused absolutely to receive royalty when visiting Incognito.. He knew what was due to his' position and he did not yield an tttch. But , nobody ever accused the president of . the United States of being a : snob.' Charleston News and Courier.
