RESPECT FOR LAW.
eenYille Piedmont.

If the editor of tie Piedmont were
asked what is the most serious defect
of the civilization of South Carolina,
! he would unhestitatingly and quickly
answer, Lack of respect for the laws
of God and man." Few of US realize
and respect the majesty of law. Law
as w1ole whose perfection is de-
stroyed by violation of any part there
of commands the respect of a very
small percentage Of our population.
We are all strong for enforcement OF
such parts of the law as meet our
approval, but the spirit of obedience
to all law because it is the law is not
abroad in the land. The man who
spits on the sidewalk, or who ex-
ceeds the speed limit or who uses his
cut-out is a law-breaker. So is the
man who sells liquor, or runs a gam
bling joint or insists upon private
vengeance as a right. Neither class
LEAVES the law perfect One set Of
offenses may seem less in degree than
the others, but they are all laWbreak-
ing. What we need above all things
| is that respect for law which instinct
lively respects and obeys all law be-
cause it is the law. WE nave been
trying to obtain this result in rather
desultory way by seeking to work
from tie bottom up. The Piedmont
is becoming convinced that the better
way is to work from the top down.
How can you expect the poor devil ;
VINO boot-legs liquor to respect the
law against such sales when he sees
the rich and highly placed driving
their automobiles at two or three
times the speed allowed by law? How
can you expect the mob to refrain from
lynching when 999 out of every 1000
will Physically resent an insult? AS
far as the law is concerned. there is
no difference between lynching and
personal assault because of an insult.
Both break the law.
All of this is but preliminary to
comment upon the following editorial
from The Newberry Herald and News:
"The GreenvilIe Piedmont has
raised the question as to whether a
man who held the position of county
physician could also hold '5ae office of
alderman of the city Of Greenville
without violating the provision of the
constitution which in -ibits the holding
of two Offices. The Piedmont should
know that tha. provision Of the con-
stitution was rather elastic and was to
be obeyed or violated as circumstances
require. Or rather as to who the
party is that is holding the two posi-
tions. Does not the governor &imself
hold the position of trustee of Glenn
son college and the nigh office Of gov

10 SETS OF PLANS
FOR NEW BRIDGE
SUBMITTED TODAY
Estimated Costs Ranges From
$126,OOO to $294,5lO
According to Type

Nineteen sets of bridge plans were
submitted by engineers 10 the county
courts of Polk and Marion county this
afternoon for the Willamette river
bridge at Salem. Plans for both steel
and concrete structures were received
at costs ranging from $l26,43O tor a
high level steel bridge to $294,5l0 for
low level concrete bridge. All of the
plans unless otherwise specified were
Tor a 80 foot roadway with six foot
sidewalk on each side.
The high level bridge with plank
floor is the cheapest bridge but this
type of bridge is like the one now in
pace and the county courts are of the
opinion that more substantial struc-
ture will be required to carry the
heavy traffic which includes single
track street railway for 40 ton car.
The plans were opened by the view
ers and then submitted to the county
courts OF both counties which are in
joint session this afternoon. After
considering the plans the courts will
probably take the matter under advise
ment for a short time to check up the
estimates which accompined the plans
and the one that is finally selected will
be named and the successful engineer
will secure $1,000 for his set of plans.
The low level concrete bridge with a
concrete approach and a paved road
way is the most expensive but the most
durable and the steel bridges both Of
the low level and the high level with a
wooden approach are the cheapest,
