I tion be taken as final but it would de- mand that no action of hostile nature be taken by any nation without first taking the case to court. Had such a plan been followed in August, 1914 there is a probability that the present European struggle might have been { forestalled. A year or so spent in court proceedings would tend consid- erably to cool heads of feverish heat President Taft, in addressing the as- the plans of the league will not in any way infringe upon the constitutional right of the President of the United States and of the Congress to declare poets of this side of the plan, against which many arguments have been ad- vanced, one in particular by William Jennings Bryan, who is not entirely in sympathy with the proposed methods of the league. It must be remembered that if the United States were to en- ter with other nations into such a pact, league to enforce peace, and some one nation attempted to start war and it became necessary to use the combined military forces of the other nations to head off this offender, Congress would have to declare an act of war in order to call our troops or send our navy to the scene of action. And therein lies one of the greatest difficulties in the path of the legaue's success. Since the League to Enforce Peace was established last year, many things have occurred within these United States to show that it would be difficult for this country to enter one way or another into any agree ment with the various countries, for the simple reason that our citizens here are made up of people from all ends of the earth, and as soon as any action was contemplated there would be howl sent up from some quarter. All these questions however, come un- der the head of "entangling alliances

ECHOES FROM DETROIT.

Colonel Roosevelt is a fighter. Henry Ford is a peace-at-any-price man; and so it was to be expected that when the gallant Rough Rider rode pell mell into Detroit, the place where they turn out myriad millions of tin omnibuses, and threw the hooks'' into the timid manufacturer, there would be no come back on the part of the Prince of Pacfists But the Colonel reckoned without his for the Colonel announced his inten- tion to pay a call on Henry. This after the gentleman from Oyster Bay had paid his respects to the pacifist and all things smacking of pacificism in general. It will be recalled that Henry Ford and his followers, the peace-at-any-p price men were held up to scorn and denounced as the spiritual and moral heirs of those who in the) Revolution and Civil war denounced Washington and Lincoln. This was less than a week ago. The Colonel after delivering lis tirade did not visit the home of Mr. Ford. After waiting some time, and failing to see the Colonel the Detroit philanthropist went fshing.'' But before following the bent of Izaak Walton, the peace advocate called together, or met, some of his friends and neighbors, and delivered himself as follows:
 "Ordinarily, one considers an ex- president a little different from the everyday citizen. Tn Roosevelt's case it is different. It has been seven that time he has entirely failed to understand the trend of events and the sentiments of the people. I con- sder Roosevelt so antiquated that the 'ex' business does not mean anything. consider him just an ordinary citizen because he does not keep up with the times. What Colonel Roose- welt thinks about me and my work doesn't d1SturD me any. It dOeS my propaganda good. I have no feeling in the matter, except that I feel like thanking him for bringing to the at tention of the public his views and thereby arraying the public against bis armament crowd Henry Ford isn't important.

 There is "come back" One would have thought, after reading the eloquent address delivered by Colonel Roosevelt on the 18th inst, in the lair city of Detroit, that Henry Ford ana his crusaders would take to the 'all 'lmbers and go in hiding, once ana Tor all.

Good Manners Help.

A merchant. who returned from England just before the war broke out has been voluble ever since on the manner of the children he happened to meet abroad. Apparently Ameri- can parents and schools do not lay on good manners the emphasis that they receive abroad. Yet good manners. like the gold at the foundation of all money, are current the world over.

You ask further regarding the re-
call by the county supervisor of a
convict from the penitentiary to work
on the roads Of his county wnen said
convict was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary, as provided for in act No. 366,
Acts of 1914, and as compared with
Article XII, section 9, of the constitu-
ton of 1895, especially as regards sec
ton 2 of the above named act, which
reads as follows: "That said conyic.s
shall be under the absolute custody
and control Of the supervisor and
whatever guards he may appoint" You
ask if it is constitutional for a convict
sentenced to the penitentiary to be re-
called therefrom and put on the pub
ic work Of any county.
In reply thereto I Will say by act
No. 10, acts Of 1911, which was
amended and re-enacted by act No 312
of the Acts of 1912, it is provided that
all able-bodied male convicts shall be
sentenced to hard labor on the public
works of the county in which con-
.icted. without regard to the length of
the sentence, and in the alternative, to
imprisonment in the county jail or
the state penitentiary at hard labor.
Under these acts all conyicts are
sentenced with the alternative to the
chaingang, Jail or state penitentiary,
except such convicts as are sentenced
by special order of the presiding judge
to the state penitentiary wnen it is
considered unsafe or unwise for such
convict to be committed to the county
chaingang.
The general assembly has the right
to designate the punishment for crime
and the place and manner in which
such punishment shall be inflicted, so
long as such punishment IS within the
provisions of article l., section 10, OF
| the constitution.

Mr.. Albert S. Johnstone, Secretary,
State Board of Charities and Cor
rections,
Columbia, S. C.
Dear Sir:
l am in receipt of yours Of the 3lst
of January, in which you ask whether
or not it is lawful for convicts on
cnamgangs in this state, or convicted
persons in any other class of penal
institutions to be whipped, You refer
me to Article I. Section 19 of the con-
stitution of 1895
In reply thereto I will say that this
section provides that excessive bail
shall not be required, nor excessive
fine imposed, nor cruel and unusual
punishments inflicted, nor shall any
witness be unreasonably detained.
Corporal punishment shall not be in
flicted. The power to punish for con-
tempt shall not in any case extend to
Imprisonment in the state peniten-
tiary.''
The prohibition against the infiic-
ton or corporal punishment extends,
an my opinion, not only to prohibiting
the courts from sentencing a convict
to corporal punishment, as was form
erly permitted years ago under some
of our laws. but in my opinion this
prohibition extends also to conVlcts
who are confined in the penitentlary
or upon the chain gangs and it is 'un-
lawful to in1ict corporal punishment
apon them.
1t is clear to my mind that if SEN
tence of corporal punishment is un-
constitutional, as it is, certainly the
infiction of such punishment, without
