RAID CHARLESTON WHOLESALE
Many Blind Tigers Forced tO Close.
No Warnings Given.

Charleston, March 81. - What
looks like one Of the most wide
spread raiding movements in the
history of Charleston was begun this
morning by the police. A number of
blind tigers have been raided and
others have removed their fixtures
and closed up. A few are said to
be closing voluntarily, while others
are being forced to close their doors.
and present Indications are that
Charleston in the next few Gays will
be as "dry" as a desert
80 statements were made bv the
mayor or chief of police to-day on
the raidinE, but several Of those who
operate cafes say that no warning
was given; that the patrol wagon
with a squad Of policemen dashed up
TO 4 saloon and the policemen rushed
in, seized all slot machines. liquor
and fixtures in sight. Those who
have not been raided admit freely
that they are expecting it at any mo-
mont.
1t will be recalled that Monday
Governor Manning gave Mayor
Grace one week in which to take ac-
ton regarding law enforcement in
Charleston, and at the present rate
there will be considerable results be
fore the week is up.

You are, now is the time to do it so

Socialists in the Cabinet.

"The World" rebukes Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson for recommending govern
ment ownership and operation of the tee-
graph and telephone systems. 1t charges
him with rushing "headlong into the field
of collective ownership like a newly con-
verted Socialist" Worse than that-from
"The Worlds" point of view--Mr Burle-
son is seriously embarrassing the Presi-
dent. Coming from member of the
Wilson administration it is an amazing
proposal, utterly at conflict with the fixed
doctrines of the Democratic party"
Secretary McAdoo, we presume, is also
Mortified at the idea of putting the govern
ment into business as the owner and opera
tor of public utilities like the telegraph
and the telephone. 1t is true that he and
the President fought tooth and nail in the
last Congress TO put the government into
business as an ocean freight carrier. They
tried TO get Congress TO sanction govern
ment ownership and operation Of ocean
steamship lines, doing business in compe-
tition not only with foreign but also with
American shipowners.
The telephone. and telegraph services
are natural monopolies, operated govern
mentally in most countries in conjunction
with the postoffice service. Transporting
freight by sea is not a natural govern
ment monopoly; nor is it natural
monopoly Of any sort. The sea is free to
all; it is an open highroad between nation
and nation. Nevertheless, Mr.. McAdoo
and Mr.. Wilson urged Congress TO vote
millions Of dollars to put the government
into business as deep sea carrier. They
rushed into the field Of collective owner
ship further and faster than Mr.. Burleson
has ever thought of rushing into it.
Why, therefore, pillory the Postmaster
General as "a newly converted Socialist
or say that his proposal is amazing" as
coming from u member Of the Wilson ad-
ministration? He is in very good CON-
pany in the Wilson Cabinet. His Social.
Iistic suggestion is far less in conflict with

The Trawler Skipper

e. AShmecd Bcr.lctt, 81 The Times. Londor)
Every trawler is distinctive, and the whole
character of the crew and Of the life on board
depends on the captain. These shippers are
types who seem to have survived from al
age long since gone by. You can always
tell North Sea trawler from a West CoUn-
try one The North Sea shippers seem stern
and taciturn, whereas the West Countrymen,
mostly Devonshire men, seem genial loqua-
cious. All are, however, delightfully."- indie
pendent, and express their views on things
in general in a manner which makes naval
officers trembe for the discipline OF the SER
vice. They love TO criticise everything. The
skipper of a .rawler never will admit tina,
any officer in the navy IS a real seaman.
They will stoutly maintain that seamanship
is lost art, which can now only be found
among themselves. and they love 20 hold
forth on the handling Of great battleships a.

whether you were simply issuing warning

sincerely hope hat you will begin a cam

"Jim Hams" Guilt.

Senator Jim Ham" Lewis has so ma
things to answer for sartorially thai It
is hard to tell whether new Indictment
will pass unnoticed in the accumulation
or prove the straw to break the camels
back. In any case, the latest to point the
finger of accusation at him is his COL
league, Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman,
who has definitely refused to don black
cutaway frock and striped trousers or a
high silk hat because of the utter hope
lessness of competition with Jim Ham,"
What hope is there to compete with
him in his WARDROBE" writes the Senator
to his campaign manager. "No one would
look at me if dressed to rival Solomon in
all his glory. So | very contentedly re-
sign all claims to wearing apparel to my
colleague, who is very capable in that
line"
The Senator should not be taken too
literally. He will condescend to wear
some clothes, even to having his trousers
"pressed at suitable intervals, say three
or four months apart" and to changing
shirts every time the moon quarters"
But these are concessions, really more
than a man should be expected to offer, he
thinks, when so completely outshone at
the start by James Barbarossa.
It seems high time that Senator Lewis
was restrained and through some modif-
cation of his raiment made to encourage
Senator Sherman and other members Of
the Upper Chamber a short way at least
along the paths of sartorial felicity. 1t is
a grave charge to lodge at mans door
that he discourages reform, particularly
in Congressional dress.

Competition-Made Thlevery.

1t is a pity, as Justice Russell Of the
Court Of Special Sessions declared, that
there is no states prison sentence Tor
thieves Of the brand Of Felix Ermann.
This worthy, butcher, had with diaboiic
ingenuity rugged up false scales 50 that by
stepping on board he was able to add ten
ounces TO the weight Of customers pur-
chase. When one Of the inspectors Of the
Bureau of Weights and Measures caught
him this device had been In use nearly a
year, and his stealings, it was estimated,
amounted to $75 week.
Ermann pleaded guilty and will spend
three months in the penitentiary, and a
light sentence 1t is under the circum-
stances. But his plea in extenuation was,
perhaps, the most remarkable feature OF
this case. 81 was compelled to do 1t on
account Of competition" he said 81 could
not make money unless l did it."
The implication of that plea is that the
other dealers also are robbing their Gus
toners. Unfortunately, the records Of the
Bureau of Weight and Measures and OF
the courts prove that many Of them are.
The only way for the housekeeper in this
city to be sure of getting what is paid for
is TO weigh and measure the purchases
after getting them home. II more people
would do that there would be far fewer
Ermanns in the mercantile woodland
perhaps more Of them in the penitentiary.
