Charleston is for Rhett.

The choosing OF a United States
senator is not Charleston monopo-
ly, and it is quite possible for can
didate to be nominated in a State pri-
mary in South Carolina without car
rying his home county. Moreover, it
Is the proper boast Of a Democracy
whose opportunities are multiplied by
the primary election plan that it Of
fers to every man the privilege and
right to go before the people and
present his claims for preferment. No
citizen who avails himself OF them is
subject to criticism on that account.
The entrance to the senatorial
contest Of a second candidate living
in Charleston will not materially
change the voting in Charleston
county. IL. the judgement Of the
News and Courier Charleston county
is practically solid and enthusiastic in
support Of Mayor Rhett.-News and
Courier.

Washington, June 19.-Secretary of
War Taft today handed to President
Roosevelt his resignation from the
cabinet.
The correspondence between the
president and Secretary Taft relating
to the latter's resignation is very
brief. Secretary Taft simply said in
his designations:
Il hereby tender my resignation as
secretary Of war, to take effect June
80 next"
The president in reply said:
"Your resignation is accepted. to
take effect June 3O"
The resignation was dated yester-
day and the acceptance today. The
statement given out at the White
House concerning Mr.. Wrights ap-
pointment follows:
''As Philippine commissioner and
later as vice governor and governor

the army to a high degree, and many
Of the most distinguished of the men

was in the Philippines have urged his
was in a peculiar way their champion
and to peculiar degree understood
them and their needs. This is espe-
cially true as regards the men who
were Union veterans Of the civil war,
for these grew to feel that he was
always specially interested in their
welfare.
Moreover, his great administrative
and legal ability both peculiarly fit
him to deal with the problems in the
Philippines, Panama and Cuba. For
the work of the war department is
now such that only man with spe-
cial fitness and unusual training is
able to do justice to it. OF all the
men in the country the president
feels that Luke Wright is the man
best equipped to take up the work Of
the department, which for the last
seven years has been under the con-
troll, first, Of Root, and then of Taft.
''As a young man he was a cap
tain in the Confederate army. He is
one Of the best lawyers not only of
his State, but Of the entire South. He
has also been foremost in advocating
and insisting upon fair treatment for
the colored people. He first definitely
established his reputation in the ter
rible days Of the yellow fever epi-
demic at Memphis, when he practical
ly made himself mayor of the town
and took charge of all the relief
measures, showing what may justly
be called devotion to duty and indif-
ference to his own life, together with
the masterful qualities of a success
ful administrator in a great crisis. He
was himself struck by the plague he
was lighting. but lived to see 1t
stamped out and himself to take part
IN introducing into Memphis the hy-
gienic measures which has since made
it one OF the model health cities in

Under President Roosevelt he was
first promoted to be vice governor
