In making of thin a clean city for. the Hake of the boys and wno ure to ho the men and women of the greater city which we .shall have tomorrow. That our efforts have been appreciated ls shown by the many kind remarks heard on the stand The Intelligencer ha? taken. Pub lic sentiment has been aroused, and a determination formed to make Ander don '"dry," aa it should be under the law. What we wish to do this morning ls to appeal to the illicit dealers in alcoholic beverages, and endeavor to get them voluntarily to give up their business and ally themselves on the side of law and order. Many of these are lons of Anderson who have mistakenly fallen in the way of trying to make their living in this way, and have no desire, we are sure, to do any wrong. They have just been going on a little deeper, till they have gotten ? doep that they feel they cannot stop. Then, too, there is some money to be made at lt, a big profit on each Hale, and the temptation to grow rich (?) rast gets hold of them, and they argue that their way of making money Is no worse than the methods employed by other business men. Doubtless every seller of beverages now under the ban, can recount a dozen different transactions by men prominent in nusiness life which they would claim to be as bad or worse than to have maa? the money by selling liquor. Another feature which they think adds respectability to their business ls the number of men who stand well apparently in thc community aud pat ronize them. This ls, alas, too true. Attorpey Sullivan yesterday an uouncod as his reason for not pressing a case against one of the defendants was that lie would havo to put up as witnesses some young men and boys, and that he would rather forego a conviction than to subject these boys to the humiliation of testifying. "Humiliation of testifying"! Think of lt, will you? These young men should foel deeply grateful that Anderson has a conscientious and Christian prosecuting ofllcer who feels so keenly for the young men of the city that ho will not press a case to keep them from testifying in public. How humiliated these young men should feel this morning, that they have aided a fellow citizen to violate the law, and that he stands "humiliated" by the indictment of the court, willie they, through "tc grace of charity, are permitted to go free. Of a truth there could be no blind tigers if there were no patrons of their business, and the man who patronizes a blind tiger has a degree of guilt. Our appeal this morning, therefore, ls to both these classes. First, to the dealer in the illicit salo of alcoholic beverages to cease, and find some re spectable way of making a living. Second, to the patrons of these places. t<". cease buying from them, and thus make lt Impossible for them to become violators o' the law. Another appeal we would make is to the class of cit izens who are In favor of obedience to the law, not to judge these offenders too harshly, but to aid them in starting right, if possible, and assist them In becoming desirable and useful citizens of "My Town." Let us all realize that everyone "Can dc better in Anderson." Some Analyses of Election Returns It appears from thc Associated Pi ess dispatches In The Intelligencer th!.J morning that the Democratic Party has suffered a serious loss In the House of Representatives and In State officers in many Northern and Eastern States. Just what this loss is can now only he estimated since returns from the rural districts in many States may later and in all probability will change the re BUiia. 'I ne returns nowever BO iar muicate tnese results. 1. Failure of the Progressive Party to make good and hold anything like Itt1 percentage of votes as in 1912, lt dropping way behind in all parts of the country except in California, where the personality of Governor Johnson seems to have kept tne movemnt alive there and elected Johnson Governor for the third successive time. No longer is the influence ot Roosevelt suf Pcent to create a third major party. It ls dying and will probably be burled hy the time of the Presidential election of 1916. It has of course as an tn tor-party movement a great work yet to perform. It must not be forgotten that thts advent of the Progressive Party in 1912 assured the election of Wil son. 2. That throughout the great manufacturing districts of the North and Hast, a variety of conditions, over which the Democratic party has had lit tle to do, has sent it down to disastrous defeat, the party losing many con gressmen in all the New England States, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois .md Ohio. Republican governorH geaeraily were elected. The w.uso of this is undoubtedly the effect of the tariff and conditions of unemployment brought about to an alarming extent by the European War, exaggerated by the leaders of the Republican' Party. Mr. Wilson and his party were not rt*spuit?iuic, but tuts vutera evidently looked at what they thought were ccn ul?i?uB and eliminating causes, "knifed" the Democratic ticket. 3. Thc reactionaries had their day again, in the elections of Penroso in Pennsylvania, Wm. H. McKinley in Illinois, Uncle Joe Cannon In the same State and Roger Sullivan, (Democrat) in Illinois. Reactionaries in both parties were generally successful. The Progressive movement, including Women's suffrage, prohibition and various new measures seem to bave been uniformity defeated, especially in thc East, though In tho mining State of Nevada Woman's suffrage seenn to havo won. That ls good. Ic is to bc regretted that the Prohibition Issue In Ohio was so Intermixed with other issues that the "Home Rule for City" Issue, a wet measure, carried. Thc "wet" interests generally oppose Woman's suffrage, accounting for its de feat in Ohio and elsewhere. 4. General dissatisfaction with the tariff on sugar in the Third Dis trict of Louisiana, which comprises the great sugar parishes has resulted in thc election of a Progressive congressman from the Pelican State. This district is located lust west of New Orleans and composes tho backbone pariahes (counties of thc sugar belt in the State.) It is the district which for many year:, has controlled Lou adana politics. It has a very large Cajun tFrencb) population and also many Italians. It ls one of the richest and must progressive district in thc wholo South. It was an exception to the real Inroad into the Solid South made by a party other than the Demcratic -?i Ji^years. t 6. Democratic Party seems to have about split oven on the Senatorial contests. It will still control both branches of Congress, but by very re duced majorities. The Solid South, Far West and parts of the East com posed of the large cities seem to have saved the Democratic Party from Ute loss of both the Se nate and the House. The Democratic Party held its own in the large cities in .tho East and North. The cry of "calamity" was raised throughout the industrial districts of the North and East; men were told that times were bad because the Demo crats controlled the country. And the votera took not into consideration a w???u-wriuv Condition ul dtiproaiMun. which u war mic ii BB the WCr?d ?i?S 3ST37 seen could but have brought on. mattering not who may have controlled con gress. Business really ts not bad in the North; and lt ia an open secret that thousands of men were purposely kept out of work, to be Immediately em ployed after the elections, for the purpose of assisting in overthrowing the Democrats. This was largely the case tn the smaller manufacturing cities. It was a part of the work of the reactionaries within the Republican Party, lt has worked. But lt has not hurt Wilson nor the interests and tdaaa he i?presents. lt ta s~fe to assart that had the Republican Party been tn pow er last Tuesday instead of Mr. Wilson's followers that the present world wide conditions would have. ewer ', the Republican Party to humiliating de feat. The Democratic Party lost much but lt did save itself and control of the country. The Republican Party could not have done sa With conditions aa. they were, tho country ls to be congratulated on the the showing Mr. Wilson's party mada. For never before was a political party put to such a test. That some went back on lt waa to hara been ex pected. That thousands rallied to Ita cause under trying conditions unac countable for except upon the basis of worldwide conditions ta the real teat and therefore the real glory of Democracy. She can always count on enough to do the right because lt la right. ^ C??urr THE PCBLIC DEFENDE ll Th?* public defender J? needed equally BB much ss the district at torney. The original theory o? the law re garding thc latter ls that he is con signed to act as a minister of justice In assisting the trial Judge to apply equally eithl r vindication or convic tion. However, in practice, he works almost solely to secure the conviction of the defendant in the case. This Im poses a hardship upon the innocent mat), in any walk of life, whose de pleted purse will not permit the re taining of a lawyer to conduct a pro per line of defense to offset the efforts of the district attorney. Many times in sud) cases as the shove, the pub lie is prejudiced against the defend ant for no material reasons. Hecause the prosecutor is working BO diligent ly to secure conviction, then, in their minds, tho man before the bar must bc guilty. It is only just and right that the office of Public Prosecutor should he established universally and thereby the scales of Justice may be weighed evenly, side for side. rom CITIES Anderson is in the thick of a stren uous campaign to drive out blind ti gers fi om that town. The Charleston grand Jury has brought to the atten tion of the sessions court the dere liction of county and city officers there as to tho enforcement of the laws against illegal liquor selling. In Columbia thc merchants are bring ing pressure to bear upon the muni cipal authorities to enforce the law against blind tigers. The Columbia merchants are not emphasizing the moral as much BB the business aspects of the situation. They assert that blind tigers' seriously Interfere with thc legitimate business of a town in which they are allowed to flourish. We are uncertain as to Anderson, but we assert without fear of contra diction that blind tigers conduct their business with greater impunity in Charleston than anywhere else in the State-possibly in this whole country. And Columbia, illegal liquor selling ls far more common and de fiant than In Greenville. But while Anderson is taking a decided forward step and great pres sure is being brought to bear in Co lumbia and Charleston to have the authorities suppress the blind tigers, Greenville seems to be in danger ol going the other way. We have as good a police commis sion as any city in South Carolina and it has done splendid work but that work is being badly hampered Dy a reactionary.city council. The commis ion asked tor an appropria tion for enforcing the law . against blind tigers, on appropriation with out which that work cannot be prop erly done, and showed from past re cords that Unes of blind tigers re sulting from wor'- done with that ap propriation will in all probability ag gregate several times Its amount. But the appropriation was denied. No satisfactory explanation of the de nial has ever been made. Economy? Where ls the economy in view ?of the certainty that the fines resulting from work done with the appropriation will exceed ita amount? But, If it were otherwise, it use of that appropria tion will keep down blind tigers, it la worth making. Columbia merchants as sen that olino tigers injure legiti mate business. Can anybody success fully controvert thier contention? What is true of Columbia is true of Greenville. Thc refusal af city council tc prep' erly sustain the police commission is a step backward. There is no rem edy, probably, until the next city elec tion, which fortunately is not so far off. Greenville must be kept up to a high record of law enforcement, be cause it is right to have such a re cord and because such a record ls a valuable business asset.-The Green ville Piedmont. .Jerusalem Isn't in the war zone, but un people are said to be faclnng starvation because the war has stop ped the stream of tourists. -o If this guy who's advising every body to collect c library doesn't watch out he'll be accused of getting a rake off from book agenta.

Uncle Joe and his famous cigar will once more furnish us with the old brand of news anent the ruin ot the country by the Democrats. Surprise Number Two came with the news that "Son-in-Law Nick" is also a come-back and that the house of "Teddy" will be represented again in the big show at Washington. * The sugar planters of the third dis trict in Louisiana have, according to the latest advices, about put across Martin, the Progressive candidate for congress, thereby showing the admin istration at Washington that they are awful sore.

Although the Democrats lost quite a number in ?lit tower house o? coa greas they have no kick coming as there was almost quite too' many of them at the capitol and a Republican was getting to be so scarce that the paymaster had almost forgotten there was such a party in existence, and the Democrats will now have somebody to romp on when Uncle Joe, Bill Mc Kinley, Nicholas and a few more show up on th? Job. Governor David I. Walsh, of Massa chusetts, showed that he still has'a hold on the voters ot that great state by handing a zolid defeat to Ex-Coa grossman Samuel McCall and Joe Wal ker, former speaker of the Massachu setts house, who headed the Bull Moose ticket.

Farmers, whether they usually piont three or three thousands acres, should face the fact NOW that they can not plant more man one-third of their acreage in cotton. The - other two-thirds of their lands they must make productive next year ; they must get crops from them next year and the sooner they set ao?t in down right earnest, the better lt will be for them. - Tn every county lt should be the task of county officers, merchants, bank ers, lawyers, school teachers, clergy- j men' and a'.i other leaders ot the peo ple tb spread the news of the reduction law.

Moreover, every sheriff and peace officer.true to their catha and to the Interests of their people, wUl let it be known that they mean to enforce the reduction law so long as law it ta. The State.
