POIICl| Comment.


President Roosevelt has appointed
southern Democrat to succeed Taft in
the War Department
General Luke Wright, Of Memphis,
who followed Mr.. Taft at the Philip
pines, and was afterward sent TO Toxic
to represent this government, is the
lucky man. The general belongs TO
that class of Americans who do things.
He is popular with the army and is well
fitted to carry on the work laid down
by the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent.
The selection Of General Wright will
meet with approval. The only criticism,
we venture to say, will come from the
hide-bOund partisans who regard it
political treason for a public servant
to choose subordinates from outside the
ranks. But the President long since
demonstrated his utter Indifference TO
protests from that quarter. 1t is
enough for him TO know that he has
found man who will fill the bill and
perform the duty required In a capable
and patriotic manner. The party wall
is not so high in the Presidents mind
that he cannot scale il at a single
bound. and find fragrant flowers IN the
other side-TOledo Blade.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt sent to Congress
a special message last week, in which
he said that he did not cause the panic,
but that if his u]tterances about corrup-
ton on the part of high financiers had
caused it he would do it again. We do
not admire Mr.. Roosevelt. He is never
consistent, and not always sincere. But
he did the country a service in sending
this message. Of course there is q
disposition when money gets scarce to
be tender with the men who have the
money, eve though they have stolen
it.. We suppose if we had a millionaire
in Laurens, and he was known to be a
swindler, and was about to be prose-
cuted, and trouble should arise in some
Of our local banks, some of their de-
positors and stockholders would sneak
If to the solicitor and beg him, for
goodness sake, to let up on the swim
oier, so that the latter might come to
the help of the banks. That's what the
editor of THE ADVERTISER might do.
But it would be wrong. 1t would encour-
age the swindler in his robbing opera
tions, and they would be more helpless
tlan before in the %swindler's grip.
That is what Mr.. Roosevelt, who some
times appoints negroes to Office, has
said in substance, and we heartily agree
with him.
Men and brethren, the main trouble
with this country is that you and /
the common people," as Mr.. Bryan
calls us--do not always want the break
ers of the Eighth Commandment to be
sent to Jail, if it means that you and l
will lose a little trade in the way of job
printing and advertising, or groceries
or hardware, or if it means that our
bank or cotton mill stock or farm land
will go down in value.

coed or not. Everybody sn South Caro-
lima is convinced of the essential guilt
of most of the whisky houses and Of
most of the parties under arrest, though
everybody hopes that in a fair and free
trial every mothers son ofthem will be
able to establish his innocence and clear
his name. No honest man has any pa
thence with any public man who forgets
for an instant that arrival at the truth
OF the whole matter is the thing desir-
able and allows his mind tie be diverted
to a side issue, so that his influence is
arrayed on the side of the men charged
with felony and who are struggling to
escape.
One thing we would like to impress
on the people of Laurens: They car
depend on Fraser Lyon. There may be
some who are presumed to be with him
in the pursuit Of the g~rafters, and who
are of no considerable assistance to
him: but Lyon is honest, bold and
straight. He has done greater public
service to South Carolina in the cause
of decent government and common
honesty than any one mar in public Of
flee who has lived in the State since
Hampton was elected governor. Neils
Christensen, OF Beaufort, has been his
indispensable second in all of his work.
We have plenty of brilliant lawyers and
farmers, too, who are patriots, but what
we have needed in South Carolina was
a la Of intelligence who was not
afraid to assault e]ntrenched dishonesty,
and Lyon is the man whom the emer-
gency produced. We tell you now,
Laurens men, he is going ahead-turn-
ing aside to listen to no appeal to relax
his efforts to enforce the law against
malefactors. He has a hard fight on
his hands. He needs your support aud
encouragement. He is not going to
quit his job so long as there is hope of
accomplishing results, and every true
man and woman who loves his or her
country will stand by him.
One other thing: 1t was openly said
by a lawyer in Asheville last week, dur
ing the hearing before Judge Pritchard,
that a resolution had been killed in the
South Carolina Senate because some of
the senator's, lawyers, were employed
by persons interested in the dispensary
litigation and Investigation. Whether
this is true or not, we do not know.
But if it is true, we regret that every
la~wyer-senator so situated did not rise
in his seat and explain that, because of
his professional connection with the
subject matter, he would ask to be ex-
cused from voting upon any question af-
fecting it. This is what lawyers like
the late William H.. Wallace or the late
William d. Simpson would have done
in the old times, had they been SINH
larry placed, while serving in the Legis-
| ATTIRE.

PROHIBITION DEFEATED.

The Nash prohibition bill has been
killed in the House of Representatives..
Had the House passed it, the Senate
would have killed it.
BY the way, there is not, never has
been, nor ever will be prohibition in
South Carolina or in any part of South
Carolina. What our people mean by
prohibition" is the placing of statu-
terry regulations about the whisky traf-
fic that make it more difficult for one
man to get whisky than for another to
get it. ~Spartanburg abolishes the
whisky traffic, voting out the grog
shops. Surprising that the blind tigers
are also driven out, the Spartanburg
man who wants whisky, and is willing
TO pay for it, orders it from Richmond
or Chattanooga, OF perhaps from Mar
ion. N. c. So whisky drinking is not
prohibited. No State and no locality in
America knows what is meant by a
prohibition that prohibits" a prohibit
ton that stops the consumption of in
toxicants, because no State or locality
has had that experience. Senator Till
mans bill to prohibit the sending of
intoxicants from a wet into a dry State
would be a long step in the direction
Of real prohibition, but Senator Till
mans bill will not pase at least not
until years have gone by. If intoxi-
cants couJ9 not be made in nor come
into partanburg or Greenville, there is
40 guessing how those counties would
vote on the question, because the vo-
tiers are utterly u~nacquainted with such
conditions.
Meantime the sort Of prohibition that
we nave is a good thing for the coun-
ties or towns that are willing to enforce
it. The day never was when the Gin
ton man who wanted whisky, and had
the money, couldn't get it in a day or
two. Yet it has been excellent for
Clinton that barrooms and dispensaries
have not existed for fifty years.
We have always had local option in
South Carolina Of a sort. We have now
a ~dispensary in Laurens township and
none in Young's, because the people of
the respective townships want them and
do not want them. In Charleston the
people want neither dispensaries nor
prohibition. They want saloons. They
have the same right to demand and to
have what they want as have Laurens
and Young's, and II Is not just and it is
not fair for Laurens and Young's 1--WE
use these townships for illustration
merely 70 force their views on Charles
ton.
Their neve will be cooperation and
unity between the people of South
Carolina until they are fair to each
other-until every community accords
to other communities sincerity and
honesty of motive.
The constitution of South Carolina
ought to be amended, so that every
community may handle this question as
it wishes to do. That is the law now
in the most enlightened and progressive
States of the Union.

TlLLMAN ON THE LIEN LAW
Regards it a Curse and Drawback to
Land Owners,

Columbia, Jan. 27.-While he was in
the city last week, Senator Tillman was
asked his views on the lien law, and he
replied:
"Merely speaking as a farmer and as
one familiar with all conditions in
South Carolina for rs years past l must
say that I have always felt that the
lien law, while a benefit to a certain
class of the poor white people, was a
great drawback and curse to the land
owners, because it put them in power
OF the negroes to demand rent rather
than to submit to the supervision of the
landlords, the result being the destruc-
ton of land and fertility of soil and alb
solute destruction where the country
was billy by washing away Of the soil.
Labor is growing more and more de-
morallzed as cotton rises in price, be-
cause the negroes can easily gather the
little money they want for clothing and
the qualification of their appetites.
The repeal of the law will injure no
honest white man or no honest negro,
and it is certainly not our business to
look after the dishonest ones"
