Weighed against the impotency Of the
law and the well meaning but fossiliz-
ed-of-mind judges laying the respon-
sibility of our evil state to the law and
it's ministers.
"Was ever accusation more unjust?
From whence came the special priv
ileges against which protest is raised
From the courts? No, not in single
instance. They came by statutes pass
ed by legislative bodies and in most
instances approved by chief execu-
tives.
Republican Party Responsible.
"The reports which came to him of
the effect of his campaign against the
judiciary enabled him to go out of Of
flee fully appreciating that through
his skill his administration and his
party had escaped, for a time at least,
the responsibility which was justly
theirs. What his present motive may
be we need not conjecture.
His grievance is that the decisions
are in such f1agrant and direct con-
tradiction to the spirit and needs OF
the times It means to his multitude
Of readers that courts should decide,
not as the people have commanded in
their constitution, but according to
the notion Of himself and his follow
ers as to the needs of the times.
Roosevelt, the LaWIess.
Through his leadership, while pres
ident and since, a large and uninform-
ed following has been recruited
throughout the United States who are
waging, many of them unconsciously,
a battle against the supremacy of the
law. The uninformed think because
thew have been deceived, the courts
are in effect vetoing legislation that
tie people want, not that the courts
are merely setting aside enactments
that the people have forbidden the
legislative department Of the govern
ment to pass. If they should be made
to understand the whole truth be-
fore it is too late, the movement, in
form against the judiciary, but in
reality against it's power to hold IN
check the would-be usurpers of power
not granted by the people, will end"

SALUDA PRISONER RETURNS.
Just Had a Little Business to Attend

Saluda, JAN 25.-Josh Perry, the
story of whose escape from the county
jail Sunday night by boring through
three brick walls and letting himself
down from the gable Of the county
prison by means Of blankets tied to-
gether, has been told, voluntarily came
back last night and gave himself over
to the jailer
The only reason he assigns for
breaking jail is that he had a little
"business' to look after and as soon as
he had attended to that he came back.

point in the session. 1t has disposed
of such vetoed measures as have come
before it and sent them over to the
senate, with the exception of the Glib
ell" bill and the provision making min
listers liable for jury duty, on which
they sustained the veto. The others
were rushed through in short order
and some featured by strong attacks
on the veto.
Senate to Act on Vetoes.
The senate has yet to act on a num-
Der of vetoed measures which have
passed the house. The distribution OF
the dispensary school fund is the most
important of these and will cause pro-
longed debate. There is little doubt
but that the others will pass over the
veto in short order, after the manner
the senate has been displaying on for
mer vetoed bills.
State Loan Inquiry.
A resolution providing for the in
vestigation into the circumstances OF
the loan of s5OO,00O for the State for
running expenses, for which the gov
ernor claimed credit, and concerning
which the State treasurer demanded
an Investigation, is another matter to
be acted on yet This will cause more
political fighting when it comes up.
Agricultural Department Retained.
The senate last week endorsed the
work of the department Of agriculture,
commerce and industries by killing
the bill providing for the abolition of
this department and the transfer Of
the work to Clemson college. A sim
liar measure in the house will likely
meet the same fate.
Hosiery Mill Matter.
The senate has yet to act On the
governors message referring to the
penitentiary situation and the hosiery
mill, which the governor wants abol-
ished. This matter has been referred
to committee for investigation and
the senate has said, in substance, that
it wants every charge which the gov
ernor has made thoroughly investigat-
ed. The penitentiary officials well
come an investigation and the whole
thing will come up for debate when
the committee makes its report.
Nurses Bill.
The bill placing the nurses which
graduate from the State hospital train
ing school on the same basis as those
from other schools will come up this
week also in the upper body. A large
number of nurses was here to appear
against the bill, but it looks as if it
will pass the senate.

PARKER FLAYS ROOSEVELT.
Address to Bar Association of South
Carolina Distinguished
JuriSt.

Columbia, Jan. 25.-Judge Alton B..
Parker, of New York, who once con-
tested presidential election with
Theodore Roosevelt, delivered an ad-
dress in this city tonight before the
South Carolina Bar association, in
which he expressed himself as oppos-
ed tothe recall of the judiciary, and
took exception to some of the critic
isms of the bench made in the past by
Mr.. Roosevelt.
He said in part:
"If put into practice and carried to
its inevitable conclusion recall of
judges is the substitution of popular
opinion for legal procedure is JUS
tice or injustice meted out, not accord
ing to the law Of the land, but accord
ing to supposed public sentiment. Re-
call of judges spells in the ultimate
result recall Of the judicial system
and the substitution Of vigilance
committee.
"Never before, I think, in the his
tory of civilization has any blind lead
er of the blind advocated as progress
sive a return to the chaotic conditions
inherent in administration of justice
by caprice rather than by the rules of
law.
On Organized Movement.
'The recall of judges, however, is
but the first step toward the cherished
goal of the leaders of the movement
against the judiciary. Their ultimate
aim is the recall ct the power of the
courts to declare void such legisla-
tive cast as are forbidden by the con-
! stitution, State and federal.
WHAT has happened CT late to lead
so many to favor stripping the mem
bers of tne judiciary Of their inheri-
tance anc shearing them Of the power
to enforce the constitution. Surely
the judicle. standard has not been
lowered Of late. The cause of the
change in public sentiment then is
not to be found in the lowering of the
judicial standard. 1t had its beginning
during the incumbency of the last
president. More combinations to re-
strain trade and prevent competition
came into existence during his incum'
bency OF the office than in all our pre-.
;ious history.

ParisS ian. THE suggestion dis

includes the idea of the possible rgcog-
ntion of two chinas. one in the north

south--the new republic.
This idea finds its basis in the sup
position that the struggle IN the north
and south is likely to continue indefi-

terminable war. destructive alike 10

said today: Much has been said by
the world abent the power of capital
to do harm or good. IL seems as II
there Is an opportunity for capital Ia
offer itself To the attainment of n great
goal-the salvation of great nation.
However, tho present deadlock In

DENIAL OF CALIFORNIA CON-
PANY's REQUEST.

Washington, Jan Clifford Pinchot
former chief forester and president
OF the National Conservation associa-
tion. made n statement today urging
against the passage of resolution IN
troduced by Representative Raker OF
California granting water-pipe line
right -of-way through Mono national
forest 10 the Hydro Electric company
of California
Mr.. Pinchot declares that, while the
money value involved Is insignificant,
the bill is dangerous AS indirectly in
the interest of water-power grabbers"
and would establish the right OF
water power companies generally to
cross public lands In spite of the gov
ernment and the courts.
without government permission, Mr..
Pinchot soys, the company dug a ditch
and began water-pipe line 800 feet
long through Memo forest and work
was stopped by government injunc-
ton
The company then applied 10 the
department OF agriculture for n per-
nit to lay the line, and the depart
| inent permitted the work to go for
ward while the terms of the permit
were being prepared. one of the stip-
nlations was that the company pay
$G75 year for the use of the right -of :
way and that the permit would be re-
vocable. The company refused TO
agree to the permit and the temporary
| permission was revoked
