THERE IS CAUSE FOR AlAkM.

Senator Tillman is considera-
bly, exercised over the reports
of the recent election in this dis
trict. and properly so. He has
called attention to the law on
the subject. and shown that by
1t the bribe.taker as we'll as the
bribe-giver is liable to arrest
and conviction; if convicted, the
penalty is a heavy fine and i'm
prisonment. This is all we'll
enough as far as it goes, but
rs upon the statute books are
W Hess if the public sentiment
CO.'S not demand their enforce
ment, if it is true, as it is alleg.
ed, the electorate was bribed
and deoauched, how is the law
to become effective if those who
participated in the corrupt prac-
'tice sit in Judgment?
There is much being said
about reforming the primary
rules and laws. to our mind this
is all tommy rot, if the leglsla-
ture enacted any more stringent
laws than we have now there is
no guarantee Of any better en-
forcement of them than at pres
emit We do not believe the leg
islature can enact a law which
will make corrupt men incor
ruptible as long as the general
public or the average citizen is
Indifferent, but as soon as there
is a healthy pubic sentiment Sc
cured against the practice OF
bribery and debauchery in elec.
tions, then and only then. will
we have cleaner politics.
The people of this State are
now reaping what they sowed
years ago, then, it was against
another race of people, and, un'
der the stress of a >vital emer.
gency, but the sin committed
then has come on down until it
is being used against ourselves
- the wind was sown and the
whirlwind is reaped. We hope
however, there will be no more
cause for complaint, and that
people will realize the dangerous
policy of being Indifferent about
the sacredness of the ballot, be,
fore they bring upon themselves
the embarrassing situation OF
having our elections supervised
by the federal government, as
we believe will be the case be-
fore many years roll round te
protect the federal elections,
Since the constitution has beer
amended so tnat United States
Senators will be elected direct
by the people, instead of by the
general assembly.

The New Jersey legislature

The New Jersey legislature
has passed the compromise ''jury
reform" measure that President
Wilson interested himself in to
the extent of going into that
State to make speeches in it's be-
half. The bill will now have to be
thrashed ont in the senate where
the Republicans have a majority
which may result in its defeat.
The inauenceof the president in
Now Jersey is as strong as ever,
notwithstanding the fact that in
that State the Republican party
is very strong; the independent
Republicans are among the
Presidents friends and sup
porters.

The gentlemen who are lay
| ing their plans to capture the
votes of the people next year for
the gubernatorial prize have not
been slow in making their inten'
tions known early. and it is too
early to make a prediction at
this time. There is this, how
ever, the next election will be
tame compared with the last
State primary, because, among
the number so far announced.
there will be no FIRE brands. We
look for a very lady-like cam
paign of it.

INSPECTOR GREGORY on HIS JOB.

Since the release from the
penitensiary Of ''Portland Ned" !"
the notorious yeggman, there
have been several safes cracked
whether this is the work of the
cracksman or the work Of
another is not known, but as
long as these depredations con
tinue, and Portland Ned is at
large, the suspicion will be that
he as doing the robbing. We
regard it unfortunate that this
character secured his freedom.
and more unfortunate still that
he made his get. away in the
mouner he did. Had the officers
for the government not been 80
slow in Informing the State au-
thorities there was q warrat out
| for the man, we have no doubt ne
would be in the peaitentiary at
this time. AS we understand the
situation, q warrant was in the
hands of commissioner in Co.
lumbia for several months, but
he said nothing about it to the
State authorities until after, up
on a strong petition, a parole was
granted. that the Governor had
reason to believe in the repre-
sentations of reformation there
can be no doubt, because the
prisoner had made arrangements
to accept employmentin the city
| of Spartanburg, from where a
strong petition had been present
ed urging his release, and not
having any information the gov.
ernment wanted the man, on the
contrary, after the governor
took the precaution to ascer.
tain, and finding out from the
proper authorities, the United
States Marshall and the United
States District Judge, there was
| nothing against him he granted
the petition, and sent for the
prisoner to interview him, while
| he was in the executive ofhce a
deputy marshall was setting IN
the outer Office with a warrant
| in his possession waiting for
"Ned" to come out and be ar
rested, but instead Of coming out
to fall into the arms ofthe officer
| he took another route and left,
even then. when the officer was
informed the man was gone he
did got appear to be in a hurry
about going after him, Instead
he hung around the outer ofnce
for nearly a half hour, then went
and reported to the commissioner
THAT his quarry had gone.
It will be only a question OF
time when the perpetrators OF
these newly committed crimes
will be in the clutches of the
law, and when they are 'sPort
tland Ned" will not be one .oi
them. Postofice Inspector
Gregory is not asleep and he
knows nearly every cracksman
in the country, no doubt he is on
| the Job at this time, and when
we next hear from him the pub
llic will know whether the re-
Icently released convict has been
toperating in South Carolina.

NO CONTEST,

Hon. Richard S. Whaley re
Gently elected to congress to ill
the unexpired term of the late
Hon. George S. Legare has been
sworn in and is a duly accredit.
ed congressman. When he ap-
peared before the speakers desk
TO take the oath of Office. the
question was asked :'jf there
were any contests?" None being
presented the oath was admin.
istered. 1t will be remembered
that Mayor Grace of Charleston
was reported in the dispatches
from Washington as objecting
to the seating Of Mr.. Whaley on
the ground of corruption IL the
primary, but, whether he in
tends to continue the fight we
have no information. AS we in
dicated in a previous issue, we
hope the matter will be dropped.
because we cannot see what
good can result from such a con-
test. Mr.. Whaley was declared
the nominee of the party with
out there being any protest be-
fore the State Executive Com
mittee, ard in our opinion, the
matter should rest with the dec
laration of that body. However,
the mere fact Of attention being
called to the conduct of the re-
cent primary IN the First Con-
gressional District, may have
the effect to put sto,, to repe-
tition Of it in the future. and if
it does, good will come of it.
There is no doubt the recent
primary was one Of the most
demoralizing ever conducted in
this part of the State, and while
there may have been very little,
if any bribery in this county, the
reports are that in some of the
counties of the district, corrup
ton was the rule and not the
exception. The law on this
subject is very severe, both
State and Federal, and the
bringing to the attention of the
voters the conduct of the last
election may result in cleaner
elections in the future. We
hope so.
