PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
sHALi The CAMPAIGN MEETINGS GO:

It will be only few months
now before a heated campaign
will be on in South Carolina with
two sets of candidates touring
the State, one composed Of can
didates for the United States
Senate and Congress in the re.
spective districts, and the other
set being those aspiring to fill
the Office of Governor and. the
other State Offices. It is unfort-
unate that these campaign meet
, ings sometimes take the turns
that they do, and that the gen.
tlemen who aspire to a high Of
fee give vent to their feelings
to such an extent as to decend
into personalities and vitupera-
tion. But this fact, while it is
to be deplored, is the fault of the
men who are running, and not
of tie system under which they
are campaigning for the enlight-
enment Of the people of the
State. The present system Of
campaigning the State by the
candidates for State Offices may
be termed one Of the faults Of
the general reform movement of
1890. but it will be remembered
that primary elections were in
practice throughout the State
for several years prior to the !
movement in 1890. The conven-
ton system OF nominating State
and County officers had played !
out, it afforded too much oppor-
tunity for private wire pulling.
and political checanery, and the
will Of the people was too often
made subservient to the wishes
and swapping Of local politicians,
whereby those only who were
on the inside or who were polit-
ical favorites were the selected
ones to fill office. The conven.
ton system, under the limit Of
representation then Of force in
the democratic party, had to go,
and since a general primary
election was the only substitute,
in which the individual voter
might have an opportunity to
express himself and his wishes
as to who should ill the highest
Offices in the State government,
it was only right and reasonable
that some mems should be pro- .
yided whereby the voter himself

The Columbia Record of the

The Columbia Record OF the
18th, inst, contains an editorial
which purports to be a reply tc
an editorial in The Times, but a
reading OF both articles will dis
close an evasion of the issue
raised by The Times, with an
effort to muddy the waters with
large words and a congestion OF
thought.
The Record when it claims to
"hold itself aloof from politics
reminds US of the little mis-
chlevous boy who throws a rock
and looks the other way with an
innocence sublime. The attempt
to create the impression that a
fight was made upon a woman
will not materialize, the people
of the State know much better
than The Record appears to
think, they are fully informed
on whether or not the committee
carried out in full the trust re
posed in them or whether they
only investigated that which in
their judgment would make good
capital to create a prejudice
against the asylum authorities.
Why did not the committee look
into the charge that Senator
Tillman made in his letters
marked "personal?" We think
we know the answer. The
records of the general assembly
show conclusively that Tillman
was ignorant of the facts, or he
was guilty Of the grossest kind
of deception.
The Times does not claim to
be a partisan newspaper, but it
does claim to be absolutely fair,
it belongs to no faction, not to a
corporation seeking to control
certain benefits, and when it
took issue with the popular side
on certain questions, it did so
from conclusions after a careful
study of the questions.
The Records allusion the
''our amiable and pulchritudi-
nous brother" may be funny did
the average reader know just
what was meant without first hav
ng to bunt up a dictionary. We
that We gave The
Record credit for more influence
han it possesses, but this was
caused by its success in bring
ng on a racket by wrongly
luoting one of the members of

the candidate who has the most

the cdndldate VINO has the most
money and who could hire the
greatest number of workers
would be elected. The man
who was of moderate means, and
who could not advertise heavily,
and who could not hire many
workers, would stand no chance
of being elected, no matter what
his qualifications might be. And
again. if the candidates did not
go before the people of the sew
eral counties the only way the
voting masses of the counties
would have of Judging of their
qualifications would be from the
ideas they would get from the
newspapers. 1t would virtually
amount to turning over the
selection of candidates for all
state and congressionional Of
fees, to the newspapers of the
state, and it would be an unfor
tunate day for South Carolina
when fifty or sixty editors in
the state should name all the
men who should hold state Offices
or go to congress or to the
United States senate. 1t is true
that the newspapers of the
State are great benefactors in
the enlightenment of the people,
and should be leaders of thought
but 1t should be remembered
that every newspaper expresses
the views of one controlling man
in the editorial chair. If we are
not mistaken it was Thomas
Jefferson who said that the
of the people could al
ways be trusted, and that while
they may be swayed from the
right course for a time, yet they !
would eventually return, and it
would be very unfortunate

The Supreme Court of the
State has lately rendered a de-
cision in the case Of the city of
Anderson against FAINT, which
will be Il matter Of much import
ance to towns and cities in the
enforcement of their ordinances
with regard to the sale of liquor
! by blind tigers. The decision in
no way modifes the law as affect
ing actual blind tigers, but holds
that a mere "go-between" is not
a seller of liquor under the gen.
eral policy of the law against
the sale of alcoholic liquors. The
city Of Anderson had an ordi-
nance similar to that of most of
the towns OF the State, against
the sale of alcoholic liquors
I
within it's limits, under the pow
er conferred in the State law,
commonly known as the Carey
Cothran law. Two white men
wanted some liquor, and called
a negro and gave him some
money to go and hunt it for
them, but when he returned with
the liquor he was nabbed by the
the city authorities and charged
with violation of the city ordi-
nances.
It was not proven that the
negro ran blind tiger, Or that
he was in the habit of selling
whiskey, although the testimony
showed that he did buy the IL
quor from a blind tiger for the
white men. The blind tiger was
indicted. but the negro was
found guilty before the city
court, and the verdict of convic-
tion was sustained by the circuit
court, whereupon the case was
carried by appeal to the highest
tribunal. The decision Of the
court holds that city
ordinances in such cases must
be construed in harmony with
the policy of the general law of
the State. and that it has never
been the the policy Of the law to
punish the buyer, but the seller

not proven that the party in

analysis, simply means that

analysis, SIMPLY means tna'
these people believe everybody
else must think as they do, and
that nobody must fill public
Office who is not approved by
them, and those OF their way OF
thinking. Solomon said that il
the multitude of counsel their is
wisdom, and the saying. IS just
as true today as it was when
Solomon uttered it, but if the
sources and methods of inform.
ing the public and the masses
are to be restricted and limited,
then no wonder the people will
60 wrong sometimes, and Row
can they be blamed? The true
principle of a republican form OF
government is for, the people all
to be enlightened, and for all
the people to have a part in the
government and its making, and
in the selection of the men who
are to fill the higher. public
officers, and for this reason it is
hard to conceive how it would
be any improvements in the selec-
tion of men to fill the State
Offices and go to congress and
the United States, Senate to deny
masses the privilege of seeing
them and hearing them express
their views. There is another
phase of the question which
those who advocate doing away
the county to county campaign
meetings seem not to think of,
and that is, that no candidate
for State or congressional posi-
tions is required to make the the
county rounds unless he wants
to. If he wants to stay at home
and conduct a private campaign
in his own way, he has a perfect
right to do so, but the rights Of
the people to see. their candi-
dates and hear them speak should
not be denied just because it
does not suit a few candidates
to go out upon the hustings, or
because it does not suit a few
newspapers to send out report
ers to these campaign meetings.
The plan itself is a good one,

7ised which will be absolutely |

'elves are not perfect. Nor can
he people be driven in perfec-
ion. They can be persuaded and
oaxed and taught and enlight.
ned, and thus brought to more
views and higher con-
options, but this will never be
ccomplished by withholding
ight and information from them. |

might sec the candidates, anC
hear them talk. and form some
idea of the qualifications and fit
ness of the men who should FL
the highest Offices in the State.
For a number of years this
system of touring the State by
the candidates for prominent
Offices, has been under fire by
some people and many newspa
pers, and the leading daily pa.
pers of the State do not like it
and are constantly jumping on
the system. The News and
Courier on the 9th, inst, had an
! editorial in the subject headed
ga Vicious Rule" in which it
criticised the plan very severely.
and since that time we notice
that a writer in that paper who
signs himself ''Subscriber," also
contributes an article which is
given editorial prominence, in
which he too severely crlticises
the present plan Of candidates
touring the State and calls upon
the press of the State to live up
against it. But surely these peo
pie do not give the matter seri-
Gus and honest fair thought
when they decry the system so
severely.
1t is not the true reformer
who merely criticises unless he
has some better plan to offer:
and it is not the statesman who
merely fnds fault with the pow
ers above him unless he has the
capacity to lead the people to-
better and greater ideas. There
fore if you do away with the
present plan of requiring the
for state Offices and |
the representatives in both |
branches Of congress to come

what are you going to
substitute for the plan? Every
voter in the State has not a per-
sonal acquaintance with all the

congress, and it is but fair to
the mau who is charged with
the exercise of the right of suf-
frage that he be allowed the
chance to size up the qualities

WAILUKU, Maui, June 5.-Maui
Boy Scouts are now on the map. and
James A. Wilder IS coming to Maui
next Tuesday to prove the fact to his
satisfaction. EsE ~
Last Monday evening at Puunene
club house an enthusiastic meeting Of
the men was held in regard TO form
ing council for the Puunene troop.
Some ten men signifed their inten-
ton Of joining council to give il q
good start on. C, C. Campbell, Dan
Quill, Antoine Comes and J.. s. Me-
deiros were elected members of the.
council. This week Saturday after
noon the boys of Puunene viii have
their first lesson in boy scouting by
the members of the Cuckoo patrol No.
/ troop. This troop was formally Or
gaEized in Wailuku this week, all the
boys having passed their first axamin-
alton, and thus becoming tenderfoots.
The Cuckoo patrol viii meet In a body
at the Alexander house gymnasium,
their Wailuku headquarters, and go TO
Pnunene for the giving Of the lesson.
On Wednesday evening last the sec
ond meeting of the Wailuku council
was held at the Office Of DIR. McLaren.
at the gymnasium. Brother Frank,
principal Of st. Anthony's boys school,
was elected a9member Of the Wailuku
council. II was decided to send out
circular letters asking that the men
of Wailuku become honorary members
of the American Boy Scouts, Wailuku
division. 1t is expected that the hon
orary list of members in Wailuku will
be large one, as the interest in the
movement here is keen and everybody
Is taking hold.
The Alexander house gymnasium
committee voted that the building
should be at the disposal Of the Boy
Scout Movement for Wailuku, and
headquarters, If so desired, for the
whole of Maui. One corner OF the
second story is being reserved for this
special work for the boys. Il IS very
likely that within few days second

no longer want the light horse, and
