PRUSSIANISM IN LONDON

If the British government is t.
adopt the threat of Home Secretary
Simon, let it take down its sign. Il
has claimed thus far to be fighting
for liberty and democracy in Europe.
There can be no liberty and democ-
racy in a nation where the press is
not free, says the New York World.
1t may be admitted at once that
the Northcliffe newspapers have been
irritating and at times perhaps fool
ish1y so, and yet they have been a
prodigious force for good. They
have not confined themselves to crit
icism. They have spurred ministers,
legislators and people to duty. If
they have recognized danger and
found fault, so also have they APP
plauded triumph and patriotic SER
vice.
To suppress the Northc1iffe news
papers would be to put Great Britain
on all tours with PrussiahisSl. The
London censorship is worse than
that of Berlin, for it is the clumsy
arbitrary work of people unaccus-
toned to Sch methods. All that is
now needed to complete the over
throw of public opinion in an empire
once ruled by that alone is to add TO
the terrors and errors of the censor
ship the summary seizure of presses
that are not altogether in the service
of the ministry.
Symptoms such as these are not
encouraging for democracy in Eng
land, in Europe or anywhere else.
cannot be sustained on
the terms and conditions of despot-
ism. 1t is perhaps conceivable that
a shackled democracy might win a
var against absolutism; but disaster
would attend the triumph, and in all
the essentials of life victor and van
pushed would be alike degraded.

HUDSON WENT AHEAD.
Man Has Strange Delusion
at Spartanburg.

Spartanburg, May 17.-Under the
delusion that he was a railway en-

to go ahead" D. H. Hudson, a trav-
cling salesman of Wilkesboro, jumped
out of a second story window OF a
loacl hotel early yesterday morning
and clad only in his night clothes,
ran three blocks of the city until he
was stopped by policemen.
Hudson was slightly hurt about the
knee in his Jump. He was taken to
a local hospital and after an hour or
two was released having apparently
fully recovered.

authorities. without constabulary as
sistance, the power to enforce the
law. Such law had already been
passed and is today in force as to
Richiand and other counties. 1t was
passed before you became governor
by the Blsase administration, and
the effect of it was to prevent spies.
detectives and constables being sent
into a community by the governor.
You having been elected on a local
option platform, insisting upon your
belief as far as possible in home rule,
killed Senator Sinkler's bill in the
house. and left it in your hands to
force upon us constables but under
the law you can not send them here
unless the local authorities fail in
their duty. You have already set a
precedent in Kershaw county for local
authorities who failed to do their
duty and hence it follows logically
and inevitably that the instant you
send constables to Charleston, you
are obliged to follow your own prece-
dent in Kershaw county; because con-
stables, to repeat, can only be sent
here when you have come to the SOL
emn conclusion that the sheriff has
failed to do his duty.
Now in your concluding paragraph
you say it would make this under
standing far more effective if you, as
mayor, and the sheriff could cooper
ate In this work. This language, /
submit, is capable only Of the infer
ence that the. suggestion emanates
from you and entirely ignores the
fact that such was my own, my very
own, proposition to you, which was.
that whenever you came to the con-
clusion that l was not enforcing the
law to your satisfaction in Charles
ton, that it was your duty next to put
it in the hands of the sheriff and that
whenever you did so, although he and
J. are on the worst possible terms
personally and politically, yet would
be glad, through every available
source to cooperate with him in the
enforcement Of this law, he being a
check against me and I being a check
against him, and that that would be
an ideal condition for you to estab-
lish, and to establish at my suggestion
and with q fore-knowledge of nv
cooperation, which volunteered.
Therefore repeat that now. since you
nave put 1t up to the sheriff to en-
force the law, I will cooperate with
him within the city Of Charleston,
and cooperate to this extent, which !
now name to you as a modus opcr-
andi. that is: 'h.t whenever the sher-
iR communica es to me, within the
city OF Charleston, the fact that any
place. whether it be a private business
or Il social club, or whatever It be, is
selling liquor or in any other manner
breaking the law, l will undertake the
burden of raiding and reraiding and
constantly raiding that place with all
