PLENTY OF LAW-ENFORCE IT.

We note the arrival of race
horses in Charleston, and it is
to- be presumed the racing meet;
will be conducted this winter
unless :. stopped by the law.
There has been much written
about the race track gambling
in Charleston, those who do this
writing evidently do not know
that the statute books contain
allthe law necessary to suppress
gambling, whether it is race
track or any other kind Of gam
bling, but IN addition to this,
there is also a very strong stat-
ute passed by the legislature
with a view to putting an end
TO race track gambling, this
statute is so sweeping it will al
most convict a man if he thinks
of betting much less does bet.
The law is on the books, and the
writer helped make it, if it is
not enforced, the county auth.
critics of Charleston alone are
responsible. The general idea
is that the city authorities en-
courages this violation of law by
inaction, but the city authorities
have no jurisdiction outside OF
the city, and the racing is done
outside OF the city limits. Some
contend the governor should
act. Governor Blease has said
time and again, that whenever
the county authorities report to
him their inability to enforce the
| law and ask for aid he will give
such aid as is in mis- power:Then
why is not the law enforced?

There is no question aboutlt
If South Carolina is to place
upon the statute books a state
wide prohibitionllaw it can only
be effective by accompanying
such a statute with laws that
will prevent shipments Of liquor
into the State, such as the Webb
Act of congress purposes doing.
The Greenville Piedmont tersely
puts it: .-.-..... -......
"Our people are familiar with
the Webb law, by which con-
gress gives states power to pass
legislation dealing with inter-
state shipments of intoxicants.
Some states have already taken
advantage of the Webb law and
South Carolina should do so at
next session of the general as,
sembly. To cut off supplies:
from the blind tigers will deaI
them a death blow. Drunken
ness in South Carolina can be
tremendously decreased by civ
ing authority, under the Webb
act, to officers of the law to seize
supplies of wet goods before
they get into the hands Of the
blind tigers. 1t is easier to seize
supplies, under such authority,
than to detect blind tigers in op'
Grafton and secure convictions
Fully three fourths of the crimes
of violence in South Carolina
and they are frightfully frequent
can be traced to the effect OF
blind tiger liquor upon those
who drink it. Not only does
drinking injure those who in'
dulge in it and often bring sor'
row, suffering and deprivation
to those dependent upon them
but it is directly responsible fo1
the major portion of the cost o1
our courts. All those who want
the laws of South Carolina en-
forced should exert their iniu
ence to have the general assem-
bly, in January pass a statute
taking advantage of the Weot
law" "..--''.

THE REGIONAL BANKS.

The reserve banks opened up
for business last Monday: just
how these banks will aid the
agricultural interests of the
country remains to be seen, as it
is a new departure from a
banking system that has pre-,
vailed since the beginning OF
this government. Those who
are in position to speak on the
subject, claim they will put an
end TO the annual anxiety from
which the country has suffered
the past generation about IN
sufficient money and credit to
moye the crops each year, and
will give such stability to the
banking business that the ex'
treme fluctuations in interest
rates and available credits which
have characterized banking IN
the past will be destroyed per
manently. .~-...s.. .'s
The chief attraction and value
of the uew system, according tc
it's Interpreters are to be found
in tie elasticity it will give tc
recognized paper currency. The
Federal reserve notes which
probably willreplace the familiar
national bank notes will be is
sued on commercial paper arls'
ing out of actual business trans
actions. It is designed that
they will rise and fall in amount
according to flow in the tide Of
business. They Will be govern
ment obligations: having back
of them a large gold reserve in
the regional banks. Reserve
banks, through them, are ex'
pected to aid member banks
having good paper, but needing
cash. .: ..........'

Why An EXPENSIVE ELECTION }

, = # 8 s-
The central committee for the
prohibition movement in the
State has organized with head
quarters in Columbia for State
wide prohibition. Mr.. j.. e.
Breedin of Manning has been
named as secretary who will
have his Office in the Palmetto
building The purpose is to
have an executive committee,
one member from each county,
and these are to secure the sig
natures of the qualified voters
from each voting precinct, to get
petitions addressed to their rep.
resentatives in the general as
.sembly, asking for, the enact
ment of a law which will author
-ize an election on statewide pro-
hibition to be held in September
1915, and for the enactment OF
stringent laws to enforce proh'-
bition. g.. r..: ~ (. 4 ..g.
II seems to US, if the general
assembly is to be petitioned by
the qualified voters. it would be
a. great saving of money and
time did these petitions ask for
direct action on the question IN
stead of a referendum. Repre-.
sentatives are the servants OF
the people, and; if the vot-
ers of the State are desirous of
having South Carolina to prohib-
it the legal sale of intoxicants,
their expression through petl-
tions should have as much force
as an election; in fact, if a major
| ity of the voters say they want
prohibition over their sigma
lures, it would be more express.
live of the will of the majority
than would be obtained at the
ballot box in a general election,
because, the voters are usually
Indifferent about voting in a spec
iaI election; if the recent election
is taken as a guide, instead OF
getting the will of the majority,
only small minority will take
the trouble to go to the polls,
and there still will be left a
majority shat no expression
has come from, leaving the
question open for constant agi'
tation. " ~
General elections are very ex'
pensive, this expense should be
avoided if possible, therefore we
think if the Prohibitionists are
determined to- have statewide e
prohibition, it can be accom-
plished with less expense by
having a majority of the voters
to petition for the enactment OF
a statewide prohibition law.
