Representative Long Of Aiken, has
introduced a joint resolution looking
to the submission Of the people Of the
question as to whether or not the Con
stitution shall be amended so as to
provide for the election Of judges b
the people. We do not hesitate to say
that in our opinion, this joint resolu-
ton will fail of passage; but it ought
to pass and the proposed amendment
ought to be made. The reason the res
olution will not pass we fear, Is be-
cause there are too many lawyers in
the legislature, and the average law
yer is perfectly satisfied with an ar
rangement that practically ensures the
election of judges by lawyers instead
Of by the people. The election by the
people system prevails in many Of the
states, and in every state where 1t
does prevail, it is to say the least Of it.,
satisfactory; but that is not all Time
and experience have shown that ex-
cept through the election Of judges by
the people there is no way to maintain
truly democratic form Of govern
ment.

Congress ought to adjourn June /
in the opinion Of Representative Un-
who discussed proposed legislation
Wednesday, with the president. Con-
gressional leaders and the president
want an early adjournment. Many
members are eager to get back to their
districts to participate in the primary
and fall elections. The president indi-
Gated that while he hoped that as
many Of the things as possible which
he recommended in his December
message would be taken up, he would
be satisfied If, besides the regular ap-
preparation bills and the Alaskan
question, legislation could be enacted
on rural credits in addition to the
points which he emphasized In his
trust message Tuesday.

To Prohibit Liquor Shipments.-At
a meeting Of the sheriffs Of South Car
olina in. Columbia last week q resolu-
tion was adopted petitioning the leg
islature to enact such legislation as
will make the Webb law effective in
this state. Out Of thirty -eight sheriffs
present, all but three strongly advo-
Gated such legislation, If information
given the Abbeville Medium is correct.
This Is encouraging. The sheriffs are
in better position perhaps than any
other class of people to realize the
need Of such legislation. They have to
deal directly with lawlessness and they
are in position to know what the law
lessness Is.
It seems to US that the legislature
ought to hear this recommendation
and act upon it.-Greenville Piedmont.
