AN APPOINTIVE JUDICIARY.
Mr.. william Barnes Opposed TO Chang
inv the Present system.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Str; In

dent "Truthtellcr.' referring TO an APP
pontive judiciarr, saws:

Mr.. Tanner is n member OF the con-
stitutioual convention which Will as
semble on Tuesday. and ! suppose Will
vote on the subject, if II comes UP. In
accordance with his convictions. Gov
ernor Whitman IL not member OF the
convention. and consequently has no
function therein. as | understand. ] do
not know what MIR. Tanners opinions are
on the subject, nor do | know what Gov
ernor whitman. are. ! do know what
my own are.
I shall not vote for an appointive 5u-
dietary. The judicial establishment 10
the protection which the people have
against despotic government IL II the
only agency that they can Invoke In
their behalf against legislation In vlo-
lation of the American principle or indi-
vidual rights In organized society. Any
thing which would cripple that judiciary
by making u appear remote would pc,
therefore. the last thing which / possi-
bly, could support. To take from the
VOTERS themselves lIlt HpNti W h'Hiu
their Judges. thereby destroying the In
dependence OF the judicial establishment
and making It a possible adjunct to the
executive, would be vlolative of the APP
proach of my mind to public matters.
That the Federal judiciary Ia APP
pointed by tho President and not elected
by the people OF the entire Federal
Union Is a practical necessity in a fed
Grated government. and therefore an
analogy TO an appointive system in the
States does not hold good. That the
Federal judiciary has been Influenced
by the Presidential power at certain
times In the history OF the United States
10 matter OF record. Fortunately.
however. IL IL not tho custom. and Ia an
abuse Of the power possessed by tho
President. not the proper use OF II.
Your correspondent apparently has
taken his picture OF my mind from
those who for thcir own reasons
have endeavored TO project It on the
canvas of opinion contrary to what II 10.
As far as tho Republican party 10
concerned In this state. II has never
made q procurement In recent years.
Of which I have any knowledge. In
favor Of an appointive judiciary. Al

Waldorf IN December. 1918. the opinion
was practically unanimous in opposi-
ton 70 w. At that time ! delivered .

Perhaps. however, the most potent
argument in favor Of the bill Is the
utter futlity Of the methods now in
force. They accomplish nothing of
good for society or for the persons
incarcerated. II Is true that the
wrongdoer Is rendered powerless for
n brief time: but In that time he is
robbed of every chance Of rchabilta-
ton, whatever of good there may be
in him is stamped out, and he is cast

list, and any intelligent scheme for
modification Of its stupdities and
barbarities deserves the sympathetic
support Of the Legislature.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sty. Ac-
cording to a report in THE SUN women
are determined that the war shall cease
and with such design purpose to meet
at The Hague AT the end of the month
to formulate measures OF suppression.
ahink It can be proved that all wars
are Indirectly instigated by women. In
ternational differences are generally
caused by desire for enlarged dominion
and commercial supremacy, The ac-
quirement OF wealth and power Is fol-
lowed by material display. TO which
men are prone only when inspired by
their wives. who hunger and thirst for
1t. and thus earth Is plunged into enormi-
ties. We're men all bachelors wars would
cease. as few OF them possess or seek
great wealth other than Quietude. and
most OF them care nothing for huge
establishments or accessories OF osten-
tation
Besides this. the growth and persist
ence OF bachelorhood would soon make
war impossible owing TO the absence OF
soldiers. SOCRATES JUNIOR.

WILL BECOME SHIPPING CENTER
sumter Farmers Plan to Raise Beef
and Hogs for Market.

III h plans of a number of farm
ers about Sumter are successful, 4,
seems that the city may in the not
distant future become a center for
shipping cattle and hogs to other
markets. ' Last summer DR.. c. p,
Osteen started out by purchasing an
Angus bull and recently Mayor l.. ID.
Jennings has purchased cattle TO
raise beef cattle. There are also a
number of others I'm the vicinity of
the city who are raising cattle for
market, and Sumter may In time be-
come a center for exporting cattle.
Following the advice Of the Glenn
son Extension department the locality
seems to have settled on the Angus
Aberdeen type as that to raise, the de-
partment's advice being to have one
certain grade In a locality, so that
when II comes to selling and shipping,
no difficulties will be met, as the cat
tie will be of the same type.
Besides the cattle. there have been
a number OF farmers TO enter more
largely into the hog raising industry
this year than ever before and indica-
lions are that more hogs will be rails
ed this year than usual. Besides Mr..
Jennings and Mr.. Hardy, who recent
ly secured a start for their hog farms
OF pure breed animals. there are a
number of other farmers who have Sc
cured high grade hogs from which to
raise for market purposes.
