agree fully with what he says about
the necessity for the good and true
men OF both factions getting together,
and electing a governor who will be
governor Of all the people and not
the governor of "his friends" only.
McLaurin has always been a
shrewd politician, and he realizes
fully, as all thoughtful men must
realize that the loud-mouthed shout
ers at the Blease banquet are "office-
seekers" and nothing moro.
The statement, II don't suit them.

being governor" is very, very ad-
mirable. But I would have liked it
better In this form: "I do not suit
them. They do not suit me, so will
be man hereafter, and my own mas
ter-not slave to ambition. That
Is better than being governor"
SHOULD WORK FOR THE PEO-
PIE.
McLaurin has such great ability
that 1t is pity his brains can be OF
no service to the people in a public
career now that he has come to his
political career is ended, but he is
still citizen Of South Carolina and
there are many avenues open to him

should seek out the one which he
likes best and work for the better
ment of the state and it's citizens. He
has no equal in the state as a stump

him as he himself will acknowledge.
If McLaurin will run for the United
states senate in order to be permit

rules OF the party would bar him If
he were not candidate-he can
analyze and thus destroy Bleaseism
FAR better than any other man I
know of. He can do what my health

make amends for his past sins and
blunders.
SUGGESTS PENANCE.
If 1 had been able to make even
three speeches in South Carolina last
year L do not believe Blease would
ever have been elected governor, and
II L were able now or dared to make
speeches he could not be elected to
the senate. Because 1 have faith in
my own honesty OF purpose and pa

unfit to come to Washington as a
senator from South Carolina and is
no more to be trusted than was Nc

ing is warmed over or warped by the
individual idiosyncrasies of mind and
temperament, from which not even
judges are immune. The results to be
attained are worth all the labor and all
of the time that a thorough preliminary
consideration may require Among the sc
results are:
"a return to the confidence inspiring
position courts long maintained by
making their decision the composite
product of the good and learned men
whom the people chose as their chief
magistrate.
1T Is grounded In human nature to
district one mans Judgment in dealing
with the affairs of another man; hence
through all our civilization appellate
courts have been composed of three or
more, and juries of IL men. The kin gs
of old had their wise men, and the
modern ruler summons the cabinet o.
ministers for council not merely the
head of the department to which the
matter in hand belongs.
Reviewing Courts
"The existence of reviewing courts
is only justified by that power which
comes from a concert of mentalities
working each to aid the other to over
come Individual Weakness, selfish bias
and personal pecularitics-working each
to complement the other. Where one
is experienced another is untutored
Where one Is analytical another Is
synthetic. Where one gives perspec-
tive another works out details. The ex-
tremes of one are disarmed by the con-
trary extremes of the other. There

ever feel more responsible than his
brethren for any output of the court.
"The adoption of the rule set forth
in the resolution of the Bar association
would, we believe, give added Zest to
the work of the court and permeate its
output with new heartiness and vigor,
for interest and enthusiasm is the main
spring of all effective labor. There is
something deadening in this advance

of one justice to consider the cases
which are assigned to him as his special
