BLEAsE DIE NOT co.

If it was the purpose to get up
a scrap between Governor Blease
and John Gary Evans at the pic
mic at Filbert last Friday. we
think the governor did the prop
er thing in declining to go. The
picnic was held under the auspic'
es Of the Woodmen, a fraternal
organization, and not a political
enterprise, if those in charge:
after inviting the governor, also
invited men who are known to be
unfriendly to him, they were dis.
courteous. and he was perfectly
right to decline to lend himself
for the perversion of the princi.
pies of the order. We have no
doubt that if Elk Governor Evans
desires a debate with Governor
Blease he will be accommodated,
but it must not be at the expense
of Q secret order Of which Blease
is u member and tries to uphold
it's principles. Evans is a de,
lightful speaker, bralny man.
and we should like to hear these
two distinguished characters in a
Joint debate, but we should re-
card it unfortunate for the order
of the Woodmen. did it as such,
countenance partisan politics al
any of its functions.

natelv settled to undertake the
work. So far as we can see there
is no more harm in having racing
meets on the coast than at the
State capitol, and if it is wrong
to permit a jockey club to have
racing near Charleston, it is also
wrong to permit horse racing at
the State fair, We hope that this
State will not follow in the foot
steps of New York and Florida,
to outlaw horse racing should
it do so, to be inconsistent:
lit will have to outlaw the
sport at the State fair. We are
rot opposed to horse racing il it
is done in decency and in order,
this, as we understand the con-
templated jockey club proposes
to have. and if it does conduct
the business in decent manner
it should have the protection Of
the law.

KEEP POLITICS OUT.

At the recent State meeting Of
the farmers union resolutions
were adopted endorsing til e
course OF Senator E. b. Smith
for having called down the Sec
retary of Agriculture in the mat
ter Of letting crop reports leak
from his department in advance.
The resolutions were introduced
by Railroad Commissioner, and a
probable candidate for governor,
J. c.. Richards. It is wonderful
how the politicians keep their
ears to the ground to catch that
which is popular: it has always
been our understanding that Of
fee holders cannot belong to this
organization but we find them IN
it and conspicuously so.
Just as sure as the politicians
get a good hold upon any organ
ization which has for its purpose
the elevation of the farmer, it is
not long before the organization
is steered right into the sea of
politics, and then it is dashed up
on the rocks of disgust. The I'm
ion is splendid organization, it
has done much, and if properly
guarded, it will do lots more, but
if it is diverted into on Office fac.
tory it will lose the confidence of
the masses and its power for good
destroyed. It is our opinion: that
the union can have willing help
ers from those who are not eligi-
Bile for membership without hay
ing to take in those who hold Of
fee OF are aspirants for Office
during their membership.
TheAlliance was. withoutques-
tion, launched for the good Of the
farming masses, it did good work
but how long did its good work
continue after its leaders landed
in oficialdom? This has been the
history of all such organizations
and it will continue to be. If the
union is for good, then keep the
politicians out.

LET TILLMAN ALONE.

Notwithstanding tilat many
hold the contrary view we agree
with The State, that Tillman has
had no opposition of consequence
since 1892, and therefore he has
not been measured by the masses.
but, the reason of his having had
no opposition was largely due to
the timidity of those who had cast
longing eyes for a seat IN the
United States Senate, and they
did not have the nerve to meas
ure lances with him. There was
q time since Tillman has been in
Washington that had a good man
come out against him we believe
he would have won; it would have
taken a man who could be Till
mans equal on the stump, and one
who would have held his oppon-
ent close to the mark. Now, how
ever, the disposition is to let the
senior senator die in harness. not
so much for the good he has done
the State in the national councils,
but because his physical condition
is such that it would seem cruel to
force him intoa heated campaign,
ard possibly hasten his death by
doing so. We believe if Tillman
was in robust health he would
have very strong opposition: that
his senatorial record would be at
tackled. and that he would have
to make the fight Of his life to
win

The continual drought has

neighboring cities are doing all
they can to aid in relieving the
conditions, even the city OF Co.

The Texas vote on State-wid

The Texas vote on Statewide
pro hibition resulted in a victory
for the "wets, but the fight goes
steadily on. There is to be a
special session of the legislature,
called to enact appropriation
bills. but the two branches of the
legislature having a prohibition
majority, the liquor question will
be taken up by them. Under the
Texas constitution the legis-
lature cannot, at a special ses-
sion enact new legislation, but
it can amend such laws as are on
the statute books, therefore it is
thought that the prohibition ma
jority will fall aboard of the liq
uor regulation laws and SO amend
them that in effect, it will amount
to the Statewide prohibition.
The governor is a local optionist
but if the legislature passes a
drastic regulation he is being de-
pended upon to exercise his veto
power, and this will put it back
otheprohibition majority to pass
their measures over the veto.

The Congress OF the United
States is, we are afraid, working
overtime in its labors on the tar.
if, TIE are afraid the effect Of the
cotton schedule will be to lower
the price of the staple. and if it
does, the farmers Of the South
will not go into ecstasys over the
loss to them. The democratic par
ty is the party OF the South. the
leaders in congress are southern
men. and if the congress should
knife the southern industries by
reducing the tariff upon the main
southern product, we would
like for some who are well
versed. in such matters. to ex-
plain how the southern farmer
is to be benefited by standing by
the Democratic party. We con
Tess our inability to discuss so IN
tricate a subject as the tariff, but
if reduction carries with it the
reduction in the price of the raw
material, we hardly think our
farmers will rise up to call the
Democratic party blessed.

THE NATIONAL CORN SHOW.

Columbia has been selected for
the next National Corn EAposl-
ton, but to bring this enterprise
to South Carolina $4,000 must
be put up. This is not a local at

State is interested in. and 1t
should have the support Of every
county in the State. We regard

ward, and its effect will result IN
more good to the agricultural IN
terests, than anything which has
heretofore been attempted: Every
man in the State should feel
proud that it is to be in Columbia,
for in our opinion, it is the ideal
city for such purpose. centrally
located. excellent railroad facll1-
ties, and the hotel accommoda.
tions Will be ample. But $40, 900
is a whole lot Of money if it must
be raised by a few. out IT all who
should be interested come across
the amount will be mere baga-
telle. Some may argue that be-
cause the show will be in Colum.
bia it Will make a whole lot of
money out of it, there IS 40 doubt
that the hotels, restaurants and
boarding houses will dc a good
business. but the advantage to
South Carolina, is how the affair
should be measured: and not con-
fine it to the narrow limit Of the
city which will perhaps receive
some temporary benefits
The corn show will do more to
advertise the farming resources
of this State than a dozen State
fairs, because the exposition will
be visited by those interested IN
agriculture from all over the
world, and when itshows to those
seeking homes what can be done
with the soil Of this State, there
will be a turning towards US of a
class of very desirable immi-
grants, people who Will come here
to work, to bring out of the soil
that which nature has planted
and only of recent years has re-

able enterprise. We regard it a
magnificent investment that will
bring back great returns for the

Attorney General Lyon hs

! Attorney General Lyon has
given an official opinion on the
drainage Act of the last session
of the general assembly. He says
the Act is constitutional, and this
opinion will, we have no doubt,
begin the operations in Charles.
ton county. There is a difference
of opinion among lawyers as to
this Act being constitutional,
when the bill was pending in the
legislature, it was the opinion of
some of the lawyer members
that it would not hold, and while
the attorney generals opinion
does not fix the law, yet. it has
its weight, and encourages those
who contemplate taking advan-
tage of the Act to drain their
lands to go ahead until they are
enioined for the final determina
ton of the supreme court, If the
law is valid and putinto operation
it will mean much to the low lands
of this State, and later, if the peo-
pie see it operates well, they can
ask their representatives to put
them under its provisions.

any one of these but the star Of
Champ Clark's destiny is loom
ing brighter every day" The
nomination is year off yet and
many things may happen be-
tween now and then but the
leaders Of the Democratic party
are moving cautiously with a
view of impressing the good
record made by the party in the

of Clark attribute the present
harmonious condition of the
party largely to the good gener-
alship of the Speaker of the

BAILEY IS RIGHT.

Senator Bailey Of Texas, is be-
ing criticised by the press gener-
ally for having resigned from the
committee on privileges and elec-
tion, which committee is to inves-
tigate the charges of corruption
against senators who it is al
legged bought their seats in the
senate. Bailey resigned because
he does not like the methods Of
taking testimony, and thinks the
committee should be governed
by the rules of evidence. We can
see nothing wrong in the Texans
position, if the charge is made
that a senator secured his seat by
bribery, it should be investigated
in a judicial manner, we believe
Bailey is correct, The hearings
in the Lorimer investigation, if
the newspaper reports of them
are true, would not be permitted
in a South Carolina Magistrates
court. A witness testifes that be
was told by some one who was
told by another, that another man
said a friend of his was riding in
the smoker of a railroad car and
overheard a conversation be-
tween two men who were strang-
ers to him, they had heard money
was raised to buy votes, then
there is a whole lot Of evidence
allowed thatdoes notseem to have
any connection with the case, or
at any rate there does not seem
to be any attempt made to con-
meet the senator under charges
with knowledge of the things al
legged by these people who are
filing the records with hearsay
evidence. Senator Bailey is q
lawyer Of acknowledged ability.

what he says.

IS THE RECALL AMERICAN?

The clap trap being INDUCED
in these days in the United States
Senate is. the result Of small bor-
ed politicians breaking into that
body, a body which has been, and
should continue to be, the great
est law. making body in the world.
Senator Owen Of Oklahoma, has
a bill in which he advocates the
recall principle, and it was this
kind Of demagoguery that the
voters of the Western States were
given by the politicians to catch
votes. The oily tongued orator
with q new scheme can paint a
word picture to the average
voter, especially in the new
States where the people have not
as yet made a study Of public
questions, which VIII make them
believe that their salvation de-
pends upon having the right to
take a Judge from the bench if
his decisions do not accord with
their views. When this anarchis-
tic doctrine is preached, and the
recall proposition is a species of
anarchy, we have no doubt that
many a sovereign voter threw
his sombero up in the air, and
gave out a long and lusty
"whoopee.' It has not been so
long ago since the voters of the
older States were hoodwinked by
the politicians with theories that
sounded well to the ear of the
thoughtless, they imagined that
everything in the Ocala platform
was as sacred as the promises of
the bible, but resulting only in
lifting those prominent in advo-
eating this doctrine from the plow
handle into the soft seats Of po-
litical Office, some became Cover.
nors, others went to congress,
while others not so ''slick' got
left.
Senator Owen will not impress
the senate with his recall propo-
sition we are sure, unless the ma
jority has also degenerated into
the cross-road political class. To
have a system Of recall of Judges
in this country would indeed be
a calamity, there would be no
safety to life, liberty, and the pur
suit Of happiness, for the Judges
would of necessity become politi.
cal manipulators. The courts,
like all of the other branches of
our government, come in for their
share of criticism, which may not
be unwholesome for them. but it
would be a sad day did the voters
have the privilege to subject a
Judge to the recall, it would
amount to a never ending source
of annoyance; whenever a decis-
ion was rendered which did not
meet with the popular view. re
gardless of it's correctness, up
would pop au opponent to wave
the popular passion into fame and
order an election to recall the
Judge who dared to do his duty
as the law directed him without
regard to the popular sentiment,
this OF course would put polite
ians on the bench, or at least men
who would be handicapped with
political influence: and instead of
justice reigning in the courts, po.
litical influence with its tenden-
cies to graft would be the ruling
power. Senator Ovens recall
proposition may do to holler on
the plains to the COW punchers,
but we do not believe the day has
arrived, even in the present
streakea and striped senate,
when his recall views will be con-
sidered seriously.
