MAN HIGHER U? GOES FREE.

A Richland County jury &C.
Quilted G.. .IJ. Hebert, head of the
Seminole swindle. It took a
long fight in the courts of Ten
nessee, and the State was put to
a considerable expense to bring
Hebert to trial in South Caro-
lima, and, Notwithstanding the
fact that two South Carolinians
were convicted and put in the
penitentlary for their connec-
ton with the Seminole swindle,
the man who is regarded the
chief schemer was turned loose.
Darlington and Young the con-
victed victims are from Lrurens
county, they were paroled by
the Governor after serving a
part of the sentence, but both OF
them were not considered more
than parties to the scheme
which swlndled so many people
in this State; 1t is generally
considered that Hebert was the
organizer and manipulation. or in
other words, he is looked upon
as s:the man higher up" He is
supposed to have gotten 1913, 900
out of the scheme. and his sub
ordinates got pen tie n t a ry
stripes. If Hebert of Tennessee
is not guilty of the crime he was
charged with, then the State of
South Carolina inflicted a great
wrong upon two of her own citi-
zens.

PASSING CT OLD SYNAGOGUE
Ancient Jewish House Of Worship iR
West End of London 10 70 Se
Demolished.

The forthcoming demolition Of Lon.
don's oldest West End synagogue, sdt-
uated behind His Majesty's theater in
St. Alban's place, HaymarSet, marks
an interesting stage In London Jewry.
There are today in round figures a
quarter Of million Jews in Great
Britain, and of these 100000 are resi-
dent in London. The metropolitan
synagogues included in the United
Synagogue number sixteen, but Of
these few have more curious record
than that of the Western Synagogue.
The synagogue owed It's origin to
Wolf Liepman of St. Petersburg and
Baron de Symons, who lived In Bed
ford row, and co-operated about the
year 1853 in the establishment Of q
minyan, which met In the pr17ate
house Of Mr.. Liepman for nearly thirty
years.
In 1893 a regular congregation was
established-the first synagogue in tie
West End Of London-and a house
was hired for the purpose IN Den
marks court. It was known as TIE
Denmark Court of Westminster Syns-
gogue, and stood on the site Of the old
Exeter hall, now covered by the
Strand Palace ,hotel.
It was in 1926 that the congregation
acquired the premises In st. Adams
place, and the present synagogue was
built. The western synagogue was the
only congregation under the jurisdic-
ton of the eccles teal authorities
which in the year ls41 refused to read
the chief rabbits proclamation against
the then newly-founded Burton street
synagogue.

OH Against Steam.

Two new fuel ships, the Kanavaa
and the Maumee, are now under con
struction for the United States navy.
The former will have two threecyhn-
der, triple-expansion engines Of $500
horsepower each, and Is being con-
structed at private yard. The lat
ter, however, will be propelled by two
Nurnberg Diesel engines Of approxt
mately the same power as the steam
engines in the sister ship. Although
the hull Of the Maumee will be con
st1ucted at the Mare Island navy yard,
the engines will be built at the Brook
Ign navy yard from plans purchased
abroad. and will be shipped to the
Pacific coast.
The two ships will afford an excel
lent opportunity for determining the
relative merits Of oil and steam en-
gines under like conditions.-PoweI.

a bill drawn giving the county
commissioners permissory power
to recommend this system, and
the same time, limiting the
work of the police to actual
police duty without becoming
debt collectors. am willing to
give the system a trial. There
are some counties now asking
for the repeal of the rural police
system, 1T is because Of the vast
power given to these officers,
who, in many instances are
without the proper discretion to
exercise such tremendous power,
and the counties seeking TO be
rid of the police claim that un-
der these great powers there is
much opportunity for oppression
and corruption. If Clarendon is
to have the police I shall do my
best to guard against the objec-
tions, and make the measure
solely for the purpose of having
good order IN the county, l
shall never consent to a measure
which gives to those officers
more authority than the sheriff

the rural police bills on the

PISTOL CARRYING.

There is much attention being
given at this time to the prac-
tice of carrying concealed weap-
ons, and there is no doubt the
pistol "toting habit" is largely
responsible for many Of the
crimes, but how is it to be stop
ped? Just as long as it is part
of a young man S dress, just so
long will pistols be carried, and
the only way to stop the habit is
to enforce the law impartially.
To catch up some friendless no
gro and fine him for being found
with a pistol concealed on his
person amounts to but little, if
white men of the respectable
class found with pistol upon
their persons, we're to bessenS to
the gang then we would hear of
less shooting, and possibly fewer
other crimes.
There is no need for any man
to convert himself into a walk
ing arsenal. few real brave men
do so, 1T is the coward who US
ually goes about with a pistol in
his pocket, and when infamed
with liquor at the least provo
cation, he whips out his gun
shoots down his fellow man
then.puts up the plea OF self de-
fence, and is acquitted invariably.
A truly brave man when so un-
fortunate as to become involved
in a controversy cndeavors to
resort to reason, but he is at a
disadvantage when his adver-
sary is a liquor.infamed coward.
We agree with those who think
the law should be amended so
that there shall be prison pun
ishment without the alternative
of a fine. When it IS realized
that to carry a pistol means
chaingang regardless of position
in society, few will take the
chances.

EX-coNVICT In POLITICS.

Al Jennings: eX-convlct, re-
formed bandit and train robber,
now respected lawyer in Okla
homa City, will be candidate
for governor on the Democratic
ticket in Oklahoma next year.
His nearest friends assert that
he has only light hopes of win
ming his fight, but he hopes to
keep certain parties who "count-
ed him out" for prosecuting at
torney, from getting the plum.
Jennings made a spectacular
campaign for prosecuting attor.
ney, using posters for himself in
prison stripes, moving pictures
and oratory to win his hearers.
In every speech he told of his
crimes and then concluded with
the remark: II have told you OF
all of my crimes. Now let my
opponents tell of theirs. The
election was close and Jennings
lost by a few hundred votes. He
asserts he was counted out" by
a gang of fearful politicians.
Jennings spares no details in
telling the history of his life.
He was a lawyer by profession,
the son of a judge in Arizona
when a political feud made him
an outlaw. He engaged in many
gun fights with the authorities,
participated in many robberies.
was finally captured after being
wounded and sent to the peni-
tontiary in Ohio. There it is
said, he met Mark Hanna, then
at the height of his power, won
the master politicians friend.
ship, and finally obtained his
pardon from prison.
Jennings had been a lawyer
before he became an outlaw and
returned to Oklahoma to win his
way back to recognition as a
citizen of the United States.
Through Jack Abernethy, a
friend of President Roosevelt,
he was restored to citizenship.
A little while after he got his
papers, Jennings began his fight
against the political gang in
Oklahoma. In the hope of re-
instating himself in the eyes of
the people he ran for prosecut
ing attorney on the reform tick
ct. Thousands heard him talk,
saw the notorious bandit, and
admired his flow of oratory. He
took the people by storm and
came dangerously near winning
the Office.
In his campaign for governor
Jennings will use moving pic.
lures of himself in prison, pos
tiers and any other devices that
may win him votes.
