Men Needed.

The statute books of municipality
or commonwealth may be burdened,
GRO wded to the limit, with laws bear
ing upon every phase and need of socie-
ty, but if the laws are not enforced
cond itions for which they were intend
ed to improve are not bettered. Char
les ton is conspicuous instance of this.
That city has culture, wealth and prac-
tically everything that goes to make
an ideal city, and yet the spirit of law
les sness that prevails there, the utter
disregard for some laws, is milestone
around Charleston's neck. Charleston
has had much unfavorable advertising
through the system that practiced Of
lie ensing persons to ellliquor illegally,
and now she has gained still more un-
favorable publicity through the race
course that has been opened and
thr ough the gambling that's practiced.
They have laws to prohibit these
evils but lack men to enforce them.
The great need of the hour in South
Carolina is men in public office who
have convictions and courage; men who
dare to do their duty let the conse-
quences be what they may. In this
connection the following well-written
paragraph from the Columbia Record
is pointed and timely:
'The need of our country today is
not so mucn men who will die for her
as it is of men who will live for her;
men who dare to be or the right side
in politics and public affairs, men who
dare to be unpopular. 1t is not the
man who has his own success and his
own pocketbook at heart whom the ma
tion needs, but it is the man who sees
what is right to be done and who puts
that knowledge ahead of him as rul-
ing principle and acts on it, not caring
what the populace cries, turning a deaf
ear to the appeals of his money-loving
ambitions and desires and keeping tbs
veal of the nation and the welfare of
his fellows at heart. It's just such
men that we need in our public offices;
men who are not buyable by the spoils
of office; men who can stand in the
center of the arena of right acting and
let the selfish members of society hurl
brickbats of scorn and criticism at
them and not finch or swerve.'

Proves wisdom of License Law.

Doubtless many who were opposed
to the passage of marriage IL
cense law at the time it was enacted
have by this time seen the wisdom OF
such law. A letter that is published
elsewhere in this issue shows that the
law fills need that can be supplied in
no other way. Senator Tillman receiv-
ed letter few days ago from, Allan
ia asking for information concerning a
m arriage that is alleged to have taken
pl ace in Edgefeld county sometime be-
tween 1S4O and 1850. He sent the let
ter to The Advertiser for publication
in order that, if possible, the desired
information be supplied by some one.
Had an official record been kept then,
as is required now by the marriage Ii
cense law, the information could be
easily furnished. We do not know what
is involved in the case in question, pos
sibly the titles to real estate or the di-
vision of property. Be that as it may,
some exigency is liable to occur at al
most any time in which authentic in
formation concerning marriage is
greatly needed, and there is no way of
supplying it many years after the mar
rige occurs unless a correct official
record is kept. The reasons why every
state should have marriage license
law are too numerous to relate, any
one of which is sufficient to sustain
the wisdom of enacting such law.

A Good President.

1t has been suggested that Mr.. Will
son name president Taft on the SUI
preme bench when the first vacancyis
open. This is an admirable suggestion
and would solve the problem as to
what to do with one of our ex-presi-
dents. The big question mark comes
after what to do with the other one. -
Spartanburg Journal.
The South should have no unfavor-
able criticisms to make of Mr.. Taft. If
he would make as good judge as he has
president he would be an honor to the
supreme bench. Mr.. Taft has always
been Just and considerate of the South.

County Commissioners Partial.

Members of the G. A R. post,
No. 35, the pioneer post of this city,
having been organized nearly thirty
years ago, were Disseminated against
by the board of Mesa county COM
missioners this year, and last year
in the matter of appropriation made
by the board for decorations, flowers,
etc, for Decoration day. The rec
ords show that on May 2, 1911, $50
was appropriated and turned over to
the commander OF the new post. No.
is, and that on May 21. 1912, a $50
appropriation was made and turned
over to the commander of the new
post. In view of the fact that
there are two posts here, each
made up of worthy and re-
spected veterans, the board
should at least have acted impartially
and divided the appropriation. This
request was made of the board prior
to the making of this appropriation
this year, but the request was un-
needed and the fund turned over in
its entirety to one post. In other
words the board of county commits
sioners ignored and refused to assist
the old G. A. r. post while assisting
the other. Naturally the members
of the old post and their friends are
not pleased with this act of discrimi-
nation. While the old post were ten
dered a world of flowers for decora-
ton purposes by friends. its members
and friends feel that it should have
been treated fairly in the matter of
the appropriation for decorations,

ed in the 18th legislature, is the
statement made by Rev. DIR. II. f.
Coyle, who is president of the Anti

Originally, it was intended by the
league to push local option all over
the state; but this idea has been
abandoned, and, in its place, the
league, with the aid of all Christian
organizations, Will make strong
fight to carry Colorado for state
wide prohibition. The same inter
ests propose to have a search and
seizure bill passed at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature. if such a
thing is possible. If 1t comes no
nearer than it did in the 18th ses-
sion, no great amount of success may
be expected as result of the Second
attempt. There is, however, an in
itiative petition out, which may put
the proposition on the ballot.

Denver, June 14.-C. G. Shelley
who a day or so ago pleaded guilty
in the Weld county court to bribery
in connection with the awarding of
bridge contracts to the company of
which he is the head and who was
given year in the state peniten-
tiary, may never serve his sentence
This is the report now current in
Denver.
This rumor resulted when 1t was
learned the defendant had been Civ
en- 20 days in which to answer before
the prisoner is taken to the peniten-
tiary at Canon City. 1t was believed
at first that Sheeley was willing to
accept his punishment and not fight
the carrying out of the courts judg-
ment, Now it is though the defend
ant will contest the sentence to the
end.
The state, however, holds the win
ming hand, inasmuch as there are
some half dozen similar charges that
can be pressed at any time, and
probably will be, If Shelley attempts
to contest the sentence imposed
II is said the Shelley is guilty of
bribery in connection with the award
ing of bridge contracts in Arapahoe
county If he should succeed in es-
Gaping the sentence of the Weld
county court, the Arapahoe case more
than likely will be pushed.
The minimum sentence given Shee-
ley in comparison to that meted out
to Il. j. Estes. who worked with him
in the bridge business, which was
seven years, is being commented up
on here. Estes, however, was also
found guilty of forgery of county
warrants which brought him profit
alone, and he was not tried on the
bribery cases in which he was in
volved along with Shelley
News from Weld county is to the
effect that there will be no let-up
of these prosecutions until everyone
connected with these questionable
