A Woman Commissioner of Correction

The appointment of Miss Katherine Bement Davis

as a great victory for the cause 1t Will De-ln

GOV GLYNN SHOWS HIS COLoRs
In Attacking Mr.. Whitman He Has Lost
the Good Will of the People.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The uncalled-for, unJustifaole ana
unreasonable attack upon District Attor-
ney Whitman by Governor Glynn only
too clearly shows the latter's colors
What dishonest act, what grave public
mistake. what Illegal procedure did the
District Attorney commit that caused tue
Governor of the state to not only lose
his head, but the respect and good VIII
that a patient people was only TOO VIII
ing to lend him I'm the discharge OF his
duties?
What was the nature OF the request
that the District Attorney made? Was II
for q moneyed position. or was It for more
power 10 be able 10 get and prosecute
rascals outside of his jurisdiction? Gov
ernor Glynn should have weighed the I'M
port, the benefit. resulting from his acts
rather than have seen only the polltical
significance OF his labor
Does Governor Glynn think for mo-
ment that in preventing Charles S. WINK
man from getting all the grafters In the
state he will lower the estimation OF
his worth i'm the minds OF the people
Is Governor Glynn ignorant of the love
the people have for our District Attor-
ney? Does he not know that their ad-
miraton for him has sunk deep down
into their hearts, not to be erased by the
foolish and puerile utterances OF an ae'
cidental Governor? No one is so stupid OF
so blind as not TO see the "ulterior' mo-
tive OF Governor Glynn I'm not appoint

special deputyship for which he asked
And the reasons are best known to Gov
ernor Glynn himself.

Supervisor Chappell can't do every

people are going to ask him to do,
but he can do one or two things, and
do them we'll, and he had better do
what he does well, than try to spread
out ovr all creation and make him
self so thin that he can't make a
shadow. There isn't much money left
and that is going to be one OF the
great troubles in doing anything, that
there is not sufficient money. And
this is said without meaning to init
mate that Mr.. Hill spent more than
he should, but it means that there was
not enough money to start with. 1t
takes money to build roads. Let US
try to arouse the good roads spirit
and every one help and cooperate and
then we can get some roads.

No, the proper thing for the legis-

charges, and say to the youth of the
State, here are the State colleges,
come and take advantage of the op-

Since the hosiery mill is to close
down on November 1 the board of di-
rectors say they will be puzzled to
know what to do with the 225 con-
victs. They could be used to great
advantage in road building. If 225
convicts were put to work on a road
from Charleston to- Greenville it
would not take so long to build it.
And then another road across the
State from Charlotte to Augusta could
be built That work would be of
more benefit to the State than the
money received from labor in the hes
iery mill. Let the legislature provide
to put the convicts on the public
roads under the supervision of CON-
petent road builder.

We want to repeat what we have
said a number Of times before, that
il is no less than sin to build good
road such as we had from Newberry
to Prosperity and then let it go to the
bad as is the case just now. 1t is a
waste of public money and Of energy
to permit a good road to go to the
bad simply for the lack of just lit
tie attention. There is absolutely no
use to build good roads and then let
them 90 to the bad. The mile Of gov
ernment good road has gone to the
bad because no one seems to be in
terested in keeping it up. We would
be pleased to know what has become
of Mr.. C. E. Summer apd his promise
to call meeting of the automobile
owners and form that association for
the maintenance of the roads after
they are built. We would like to see
Supervisor Chappell, as one of his
first official acts, put the Capitalize
Piedmont highway in good condition
from the Laurens line to the Lexing
ton line. 1t would take only short
time now if the work is done, but
every day you delay makes the work
only the more. Such a road in addi-
ton to being good highway would
also be big advertisement for the
county. There is no investment that
pays like money put in permanent
highways.
