indifference, but because they

81 miles per hour.

British statesmen. since the
early nineties, have desired to
have a cordial cooperative un-
derstanding with the United
States. The desire in England
has grown stronger gradually.
and has been taken into account
by German statesmen. They be-
lieve that the American people
would be as ready as any other
to form an alliance for 8 tempo
rary object, should the need arise.
The German Government does not
expect to form an alliance with
the United States as an tnstru-
ment in European politics; but It
is of decisive Importance that the
United States and Great Britain
should not form close political
understanding. Germany would.
therefore, hesitate to the last de-
gree before taking an open posi-
tive position against the United
States in China, in South or Cen
trail America, in Liberia, or in any
part of the world. The only pos

years ago. He came determined
not to write his impressions" OF
America. He returned home in

so entirely different from what his
countrymen suppose exists here
that he was moved to set down In
order the facts as he saw them.

Recent Feats Of Airmen
By GARRETT P. SERVISS

by the aviator Pegoud at m.
aerodrome Of Buc on September
81. With a Bleriot monoplans
and a Gnome motor of fifty horse
power he rose to g. height of about
$500 feet, and then caused his
machine to make a complete SOM
ersault In the air, after which II
quietly resumed it's course. Ths
daring adventurer was fastened
by straps in his seat.
Next he repeated feat which
he had already performed on Sep
TENDER ? by describing vertical
in the air. flying q part of the
time head downward Finally he
turned the machine into a vertical
position, tail uppernost, and made
it describe a ring in the air
bringing it back again into a nor
NAL pose.
These things may, at first sight
appear to be = mere daredevil
feats, without any useful pur-
pose, but they are not such. A
definite aim guides all these
thrilling experiments, which are
intended not only to develop the
powers and possibilities of the
aeroplAne, but to enable the avia-
tor to acquire complete control
over his machine under the most
adverse circumstances. Man must
be as free as the birds in the

THE GOVERNOR IS RIGHT

Governor Blease in an inter
view attributes the increase Of
Iawlessness in this State to the
delays of the courts, and he cites
several cases where the lawyers
retard justice by frivolous ap'
peals based upon technicalities.
He scores a class of lawyers who
"go beyond the of an hon
orable attorney to accept petty
change as a fee to delay justice. !"
There is much in what the
Governor says in this regard.
and, the people are becoming
restive under the conditions. He
cites as one Of the cases, the Be-
thune matter, as everybody
knows this case has been hang
ing fire so long it begins to look
as if there will be no end to it.
The trial Judge was not satisfied
with the conclusion of the jury
in this case, yet he did not grant
a new trial, but did later write
to the Governor his views in
which he strongly intimated that
Bethune was not properly repre-
sented, and he had doubts as to
the justice Of the jury's verdict.
Since then Bethune has been re-
tried and fenced several
times, but the appeals continue
all the same. We are not Of

has been committed, the party
charged, even though guilty.
should be left without counsel;
it is a lawyers duty to see the
man is tried according to law,
but it is not his duty to use all
manner of means to prevent JUS

tice being done, and when the
party charged has been given a
fair trial and is adjudged guilty,
the lawyer should acquiese in
the verdict. and not resort to de
feat or delay justice merely to
make fees. The principle Of
blocking justice so long as the
money holds out to come, has
done more to encourage crime in
this State than almost any other
agency.
There is another feature, in our
court system, the Judges do not
always exercise a wise discretion
with their sentences; one case
will receive a light sentence,
while a similar case under the
same conditions will receive a
sentence out of proportion to the
crime. Just how this can be rem
edied is for the Judges them
selves to solve. unless the sys'
TEN is changed so the jury which
hears the evidence, and is famll-
lar with the circumstances and
conditions, is permitted to fix the
punishment, which is now the case
in some States. But the main
thing, is to find some way to pre-
vent lawyers from retarding the
operation of the courts by ap'
peals on technical grounds. The
Governor thinks this is matter
for the legislature, but we can
not see how the legislature can
make laws which will prevent
appeals to the higher courts.
Unde: our system of govern
ment every citizen has the right
to take advantage of every op
portunity to have his cause re.
viewed, and this right should
not be abridged, to do so, might
prove more dangerous than to
let q few guilty escape, at the
same time, there should be some
limit, and the court of appeals
should have some Way of deter
mining when an appeal is meri
torious or frivolous without
causing delay.
We confess this is a question
we are unable to suggest the
proper remedy, minds more vers-
ed in the intrlcacies Of the laws
should devote themselves to find
ing some means of correcting
the abuses complained of with
out doing injustice. We believe
if the bar association of this
State will take up this question
seriously. their collective legal
minds can find the remedy.

WILSON IS nut AFRAID.

President Wilson's campaign
tour in New Jersey for ''jurv re-
form" is about as daring piece
of work as ever was attempted
by a chief executive. in fact, we
have never before known of an
instance where the President
of the United States has gone
out and made personal canvas
in the interest of legislation in
his own or any other State. but
IN this case President Wilson
has not only established a pre-
cedent, but he has done so with
out seeming to count the cost.
AS rule the people do not like
interference with their affairs
from outside sources, they take
it as an assumption of authority
and usually resent it, but from
the present indications the Pres
ident's action is not so taken,
and we believe he will have great
weight in securing for the State
of New Jersey the constitutional
revision he seeks.
The attempt on the part of the
Washington administration to
advise the legislature of Cali
fornia was not as successful as
was hoped it would be, not that
the Presidents preferred advice
was regarded as an interference,
but the majority in the Cali
fornia general assembly felt it
was in better position to know
the conditions existing in that
State than either the President
or his ambassador, Secretary
Bryan, and while the leaders of
anti japanese legislation struck
from their bill certain words
which may have been offensive
to Japan. they retained the main
provisions of the measure. that
seeks to prohibit the Japanese
from acquiring land in that State.
Just what the outcome Of this
will be, remains for the future;
as We understand it, the legisla
ton proposed by California is
very similar to the law already
in several States now, and why
it should be objected to in Cali
fornia we cannot see. The con-
tentlon is that the Act proposed
by California will be in violation
of certain treaties between this
country and Japan, but if we
have the same law in other
States, it does seem that some
action should have been taken
by the Washington government
long ago, not having done 80, it
is late to begin now. At any rate
the President is anxious to avold
complications, and his solici
tude is commended by both those
who differ with him, as well as
those who are in accord W th his
views, nevertheless, in this case
his powerful influence Was not
sufficient to change the course OF
the representatives of State
which has it's problems to solve.
In New Jersey it is different,
President Wilson has but re

lection for one to fill this posi-.
ton should not resolve Itself
down to factional or sectional
issue, but the man should be
called from among those who
have demonstrated their fitness
and their merit for recognition
from the people. Already the
mails are filed with letters urg
ing support for aspirants; some
are mentioned who have but re-
Gently been placed on the circuit
bench men so to speak who are

them. at the same time, we do
feel that it is not necessary to

associate justice when tn here
are so many many competent
lawyers in the State not in
pu blic position, whose stand
ing at the bar is fully as high as
those who have gone on the
bench. and are now provided for.
There is no man in South Car
olina who has a better record as
a lawyer, and no man in the
State who has given a better
service than John G. Shepperd,
and we hope the general as ,em
bly, at its next session will offer
him this place on our supreme
bench, and show to the world
that regardless of how we may
at times get wrought up IN fac
tioual differences, qualification
and merit will be recognized.
