When not abused it is a privilege en-
tirely right and proper. But when too
freely granted or used for Il selfish
purpose, it is IA practice fraught with
great danger to the State. Let US not
forget that we are here by the favor
OF the people whose servants we are.
and that local and personal interests
must be made to subserve the COM
monwealth.
Will the senate of the State OF
South Carolina measure up to this
high standard? Will it answer the
challenge to the task of redemption
and restoration as voiced by the peo-
pie at the ballot box? Will it stamp
its achievements with wisdom and vir-
tue? There can be but one answer
for those who understand and appre-
ciate the worth and high purpose Of
its members, and that answer is: 1t
