JOHNSON SIGNS ALIEN LAND ACT.

The dispatches OF yesterday
announce that Governor John.
son has signed the California
alien land Act which has caused
Sc much concern at the National
Capitol, and which may yet
bring on embarrassing situations
between this countr. and Japan.
Secretary Bryan as the embassa
dor of the President did all in
his power to prevent this legis-
lation but it was of no avail. The
Act was a demand of the people
of California, such an Act has
been demanded for many years,
the general assembly recognized
this and did just what Secretary
Bryan advocates, "carry out the
wishes of the people" In prac-
tIcally all of Mr.. Bryan's recent
speeches he says that Represen'
tatives must obey the mandates
of those who choose them, and
whenever a Representative finds
be cannot do so the only honor
able course left him is to resign
to give place to one who can. In
California there is a ''yellow
peril" the people are opposed
to the yellow races owning lands
in that State. in fact, they are
also opposed to them residing
there, and it was up to their
Representatives to enact some
law which will keep aliens from
owning the lands, therefore,
when Secretary Bryan went to
California his mission was great
ly hampered by his own position
on the duty of a Representative,
together with the ackno Iledged
right California had to enact
laws for her own protection, pro.
viding there was nothing in these
laws which would abrogate treat
les.
What the outcome of this con-
troversy will be no one can know;
we have no idea it will go any
farther than a formal protest
from the government of Japan,
and perhaps taking the question
into the highest court for deter
mination as to whether or not
treaty rights have been trespass-
ed upon, or Japan may enact re
taliatory measures which may
compIicate the business relations
between the two countries. We
have no idea there will any act
which will bring on an excuse
for war, Japan is not financially
prepared to get into a war with
a large power, neither is her
navy adequate to cope with ours,
therefore we believe if the Pres
ident and the Representative
from Japan cannot settle the
difference by diplomacy the in
cident will be closed by each side
letting it drop.

Why IS IT THUS:

The appeal to the United States
|supreme court to test the constl'
tutionality of the Act which
changed the punishment in capi-
tai cases, is a matter for the ser,
ious reflection of the electors. 1t
should be borne in mind that a
large per cent of the members of
the general assembly are law
yers-men who profess to be
learned in the principles of law,
they scorn the views of laymen
who have the temerity to apply
common sense to a legal propo.
sition, and yet, we find these
lawyers allowing Acts TO pass
through the general assembly
which they know are unconstltu-
tional or at least doubtful. Take
the case of Hon. W. F. Steven
son, an acknowledged leader in
the House of Representatives, a
man who processes to scrutinlze
all pending legislation, yet the
law be has asked the courts to
annul was adopted under his
watchful e. :, and we have no
doubt with his support.
He is the attorney for a con-
victed prisoner, but conteLding
the legislature of which he was
"a force, enacted an unconstitu-
tional law. he is the first to take
advantage of his own wrong for
a fee to upset the will Of the body
of which he is a member. Mr..
Stevenson is only doing what
many other lawyers will do-the
amount of fee is the stimulent.
The point we desire to stress is
that the electorate should hold
accountable for their acts those
they send to the laWmaking
body, if they find a profession
enacting law which will give
them an opportunity to make
fees, they should be careful in
making their choice of Repre-
sentatives.
How easily it is for the legal
profession in the legislature to
have our laws so tangled it will
become an absolute necessity for
the supreme court to construe
every property TRANSACT o n
made among the people, this OF
course will mean a stronger hold
upon the leg of the client. and
|l,tlgation necessary and costly.
How is it today? Nearly every
case of consequence has to run
the gauntlet of all of the courts,
perhaps several times, before the
interested parties learn their
rights, and then, when crime is
committed, and the money is fur
nished, the flaws in the laws that
are enacted under the expert eye
of the lawyers furnish opportun-
ity for delay and to thwart JUS
tice.
We would not say these law.
yers go to the legislature with a
purpose to muddle legislation in
the interest of their profession,
but we do say the laws as en-
acted give opportunity for mon
making without regard for
the public welfare.

EXECUTION BLOCKED.

The supreme court of this
State has affirmed the decision
of the Marlboro court which con.
victed one Joe Malloy for the
murder of two white boys near
|Bennettsville. Hon. W. F. Stew
enson, of Cheraw, counsel for
Malloy, has taken an appeal to
the United States court on the
ground that when Malioy commit
ted the deed the law provided the
death penalty by hanging, but be-
fore conviction the law had been
changed so that the death pen
atty would be electrocutlon. Law
yer Stevenson contends the sen
tence of Malloy to the chair is un'
constitutional, because whenthe
crime was committed there was
no such penalty, and as there is
no provision for hanging in this
State no punishment can be in
inflicted which results in death.
Mr.. Stevenson is an able law
yer, and when The Ste e says
s'such argument holds reason as
a seive of large mesh holds wa
ter" 1t does not give him credit
for the astuteness his political
opponents concede to him. When
Mr.. Stevenson makes his argu
ment to the court it will make
interesting reading we are sure.
He will give that tribunal a nut
to crack. There is another case
recently decided, the decision be
ing based upon the Malloy de,
cree, in which the prisoner is to
be remanded back to the Claren
don court for sentence, whether
this will be done in the coming
term has not been made known,
but it may be that the lawyers
for Bethune will ask fer a stay
until the Malloy case has been
adjudicated in the United States
supreme court.
No man should be hastily OF
lnconsiderately convicted, espec
tally, where the penalty is death,
because once dead a wrong can
not be remedied. at the same time
there should be some, way by
which the delays of justice can
be prevented. Take the Bethune
case from this county, the pris
oner has been brought to and
from the penitentiary a number
|of times, the county is paying
this expense, we are told the pen
|itentiary has a claim agains,
Clarendon for over $500, and the
longer the prisoner is held the
more the expense; after each
sentence his lawyer finds some
new ground to delay the execu.
ton of the law, how long this is
to continue no one knows. .
We do not know what the next
move for the defence IN the Be-
thune case will be, but inasmuch
as Lawyer Stevenson, a recog.
nized lawyer of ability has deem
ed it wise tc carry a case to the
highest court, it can be surmised
che lawyers for Bethune will moi
be content to let their client pay
the penalty at this stage, as il
gives them a reasonable ground
to ask the court to stay the exc
cution

SWAMP DRAINAGE.

luS udGGSI VI "! diuluS Jul
swamp lands has been taken up
by Mr.. James A. Thames. He
has received a reply from Con-
gresham Whaley, in which he
says he thinks he can get the
government to send engineers
down into these swamps to make
the survey after the drainage
districts have been organized
under the provisions Of the
State laws. Our impression is
the law provides for the divid.
ing up the low lands into Sec
tions or districts, this is done by
petition, and when the requisite
number of the owners of the
land in a given district signify
intention of making a drainage
district,a survey is made and an
election is held at which the dis
trict is bonded to raise the
money for the work. Mr..
Thames letter from Mr.. Whaley
does not promise any govern
ment aid further than to survey.
There is no doubt the drainage
of the swamp will reclaim
thousands of acres of the most
fertile land in the world, if the
government can be induced to
take on this work it will greatly
aid in the further development
of this country. The difficulty
now is, most of the swamp lands
have gone out of the ownership
of the individuals, and are own
ed by syndicatees, therefore the
individuals residing in the dis
tricts are not enthusiastic over
a project which is calculated to
open up more land to compete
with the farmers of today: and
too, it is thought that if the
drainage is to be done by taxa
tion in the districts, it practic-
ally means the loosening of the
grip of the small owner on his
land, to be eventually swallowed
by the syndicate owning the
swamps. Then it is also OBJ
iected to because it is feared the
opening up Of these fertile lands
will attract an undesirable ele
ment to this country, and that
we may be in the same predica-
ment which is now annoying the
people of California, and the
entire pacific slope of States.
When the swamp lands were
bought years ago those who in
vested were long-sighted fnan-
ciers, they had the money, and
we had an unproductive and tax
compelling land: it was either to
bold these non-proftable lands
and be tax -burdened: or dispose
of them at the price then pre-
vailing-which was low figure,
anywhere from 25 cents to $3.50
per acre, the then owners could
not afford to hold them, and the
syndicate took advantage of the
conditions to plant their money
and wait for developments, no
doubt holding the view that
some day the. government will
be induced to carry the water
from these lands, in that event,
a handsome profit will be de-
rived; in the meantime the tim
Der, which by costly appliances,
can only be obtained, will pay
something on the investment.
