IS It True?

A certain clement in Charles
ton is in all its sIory-horse rae.
ing, gambling, pEize fights, blind
tigers, ct id omne. This element
is a la.ge majority and is abso-
lutely Indifferent to the laws OF
the State, Jury trials there are
a farce. And the money and
influence Of this clement is suffi-
cient to control our present legis-
lature.
The above is from last week S
Southern Christian Advocate,
and is a terrible arraignment Of
Charleston, her city officials. the
State and county officials and
the laws Of the State. It is brief,
only a few words. and if these
things are true, it is enough to
make ali 3outh Carolina blush
with shame. Lcok at the charge
here made: a certain element
is il full swing, They race hors-
es, gamble, prize fight, blind tt
ger, and many and various 9th
er things.
This element Of course is not
the law abi1 ng element; it is
not the element that want law
and order; nor the element which
constitute the better citizenship.
for they are said to be absolute

rightly describe the conduct of
this element in Charleston!o
IF they do these things, are they
not the worse element the State
and city has, OF to befound any
where! Are they not corrup-
tionists;; fragrant and fierce law
breakers and society destroyers?
And to think they are in a
large majority and have money
and influence sufficient to con-
troll the legislature Of this State.
is horrifying and humil.ating in
the extreme! All this is going
on and being enacted in the city
of Charleston, in the proud State
OF South Carolina. Where is
Mayor Grace, with his many
policeman, the sheriff and his
DEPUTIES, the State constables
and all the officers Of the law?
Are they in sympathy with such
openhanded and outrageous vio-
lations IS these. or do they fear
this element? Where is Govern
or Blease, that he DOESN'T take a
hand and break it up s.or know
the reason why! If these things
Sc true, rs Il stencil in the nos
tril OF every man, woman and
child, and 9 crying shame that
it be tolerated.
The legislature Of this State
owes Itself the duty Of pnrging
itself Of these charges, and can
90 50 by 50 amending the laws
that the solicitor and prosecut-
inc officers shall have the right
to q Change OF venire in every
case brought against this ele-
ment OF criminals to another
county where jury trials are not
a farce.
# the officers Of Charleston
and Of the State whose duties
it is to enforce the laws have
not the bachbone to deal with
this elament. they should imme-
diately resign and no longer COR
rupt themselves and violate their
oafbs OF Office.

Following the recent election a
great deal of comment was INDUCED
in hereabouts relative to the tend
ency of the socialists to vote 'er
straight" after the fashion of the
old-line republicans, the comment
often being heard that the socialists
were stealing the ancient trade
mark from the standpat republic
ans.
A little reflection and retrospect
ton will convince one that this is
a pretty wise attitude on the part of
the socialists, for the reason that it
preserve their party integrity. If
they allow their leaders to fuse with
other organizations stronger than
their own If they are too liberal in
voting for other party candidates
they are apt to lose their party SOL
idarity as the populists lost theirs
at st. Louis in 1900.
This writer well remembers the
bitterness that followed W h e n
that element of the populists who
had a lust for office and who fused
with the Bryan party in that cam
paign. Such brilliant populists as
Donholly and Weaver fought the
move to the last ditch and wv g r e
known as "Middle-of -the-road popu.
lists"
After this fusion trameup b G
populists submerged their p arty
identity and never afterward were
a factor In the politics of the nation.
The socialists have probably profit.

holders, such a presidential post

of customs and registers and receiv-
ers of land offices to serve out their

be retired is John G. Bair, COLLECTS

pires in June next and it is given
out that already as high as a half

Among the aspirants for the berth
of John G. Bair is Tom Busey of
the Conrad Independent, SO report
says; and many are of the opinion
that Busey will be able to shake
down the plum. The Conrad man
was no small factor in swinging
Teton county in line for democracy,
his paper being the only militant
and influential democratic sheet
in this section. Being at the head
OF the democratic organization in
this county naturally gives him
much prestige with the kingmakers
of Montana democracy. Let's keep
up the line of logical succession
aud keep a Teton county man n the
position.

cTa HE entire graduating class of twentyeight pupils of the Sew.
ii enth Avenue Public School, which held it's commencement
exercises on Monday night, was composed of children of
Italian parentage and twenty-five or twentysix of these children
are enrolled as pupils of the new Commercial and Manual Training
High School. This is the first time in the history of the public
school system in New Jersey that a graduating class has consisted
OF a single body of children of foreign-born parents of the same
nationality. The incident is suggestive alike of the rapid growth Of
the Italian-born population and it's advancement in all that belongs
to good citizenship. 1t is notable, also, that nearly all the grad
uating class have been entered for the high school course. In this
has said of Italian immigrants-"men of the meaner sort" having
"neither skill nor energy nor any initiative of quick intelligence"
men disburdened by the southern countries of Europe as "the more
sordid and hopeless elements of their population" To the average
American the Chinaman who comes here is undesirable. lie is
looked upon as a parasite and is always a stranger. 1t is impos-
sibe to assimilate him. His children are never seen in orr schools.
He has no place in our civilization. Woodrow Wilson thinks other
wise. He says so. He makes unfavorable comparisons of the
Italian and Polish and Hungaran-born with the Chinese. The
latter "are more to be desired as workingmen if not as citizens
than "most of the coarse crew that comes crowding in every year
at the Eastern ports" And these unlikely fellows were tolerated
because they usurped no place but the very lowest in the scale of
labor The injustice of these criticisms need not be dwelt upon.
The unlikely fellows who established their homes in Newark
have by their enterprise, industry and thrift acquired millions in
property, they have become identified with the civic life o.. the CON-
munity, they are represented in public boards, in corporation
directories, in commercial and other bodies, and their children
crowd the schools. The inherited genius of the Italian child for
music and art is strikingy displayed in the schools. The Italian
immigrant who leaves the home of his childhood and his ancestors
to cross the ocean and make a new home in a strange country
possesses initiative, energy and courage to a marked degree. The
coward or the drone does not emigrate. He sticks to his native
soil Those who come are poor in estate, a fact that adds to their
credit. But need we look beyond our public schools to find a refuta-
ton of the libel upon the Italian immigrant?

cs HE energetic opposition to the Morris canal abandonment
bill that was shown at the hearing before the Senate com
mittee at Trenton yesterday was based on different grounds,
but all of them substantial, Newark had its just claims in the
proposed agreement, Jersey City had rights TO urge, and repre-
.sentatiyes of other sections voiced their protests. The agreement
between the three State commissioners and the lessees, entered
into in conferences a year ago, practically ignored municipal
rights and had little regard for State welfare. In the second hear
ing, to be held next week, probably more agitators will appear,
while the plausible attorney for the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany, who labored so hard to get former bills giving the entire
canal property to his client through the Legislature, will present
Il new set of arguments.

STATE ORDINATION FOR ROOSEVELT.

A ITH a State organization directed by the men who partci-
WV pated in the conference at the Union Club in New York
yesterday the Roosevelt movement will be developed in a
way to surprise the Taft managers. And it is all a matter of de
velopment of a sentiment already existent. No educational work
needs to be done. The great majority of the Republican voters, in
New Jersey are %irrevocably opposed to the denomination of Taft.
They are as strongly in favor of Roosevelt for the party candidate.
The attitude of Roosevelt is now clearly defined. He does not seek
the nomination, he is not a candidate, but he will accept if the nomi-
nation is offered to him by the Chicago convention. In order that
this tender shall be made, therefore, it is necessary to elect two
thirds majority of the delegates for Roosevelt. With organization
and effort the Roosevelt Republicans can carry the State pi-
maries next May with a rush.
