TO BUY THE CAMPS.

Announcement is made that the War
Department will ask Congress to provide
for the purchase OF all the cantonments
in the country This would involve an
expenditure Of more than s5O0,OOO, 900,
but the department feels that is good
business from the government stand
point and viii make direct recommen-
dation 10 that effect
The fact that the War Department
wishes to secure permanent title to these
properties may be taken as an indication
that universal military training is to be
adopted and that these cantonments Will
be used for training purposes. At least,
they can be utilized Us camp sites for the
national guard Of the various states
The cantonments in the North are said
to have cost the government on an average
Of S40O00.000 each, and if they should
now be returned to their owners or sold
in the open market the government would
sustain very heavy loss But it is argued
that if they are purchased outright by
the government they can be held at leasure
and any 0f them which it il desired to
dispose Of can be sold TO much better adj

NATIONALIzING THE RAILROADS

Robert 81 I0vett's discussion Of the
railroad question throws a great ray Of
hght upon q sea Of ignorance, lnattention
and recklessncss.
The failure Of the conflicting control by
States and nation has been, rs Judge
IOvett says, concluslyely demonstrated
It was prolific Of disputes and inequalities
it promoted rather than settled quarrels
between shippers and carriers as 10 rates
and between employers and employees
over wages, aud IN most OF the rlvalrIes of
sections and communities growing out Of
preferentlals il has only made lad mat
ters worse. More disasteTous than all
else, by discouraElng investment and
enterprise il allowed the railroads to
fall behind the needs Of the country ~
fact painfully revealed under the first
stress Of war

dItlons is powerful and exclusive national

PRESS COMMENT.
DEMOCRATS AND THE NEGRO.

II would be ensy to poke sarcasm
ut the assertion of the Columbia, >.
G., State: st is neither just nor ex-
pedient that n Negro citizen of South
Carolina be denied the privilege of mem
hershIp IN the Democratic party. but
We u ust remember the excellent record
OF that newspaper on the race question,
and also that IL is not lndulgng IN an
academic statement of principle, but
Is making an appeal for q change oi
policy towards the Negro in centre
OF race prejudice. II recalls to its readers
the fact that for ten years, from 1870
on, "the Democratic Negroes were gwen
political recognition Some were elected
To county Offices and Others to the lehis-
lature. But even those who voted the
Democratic ticket found the ,restrio-
lions too narrow. and their vote became
negligible.
Why is the present an auspicious
time for inviting the Negro to enjoy
his theoretical rights? Not, as the ideal
ist would like to believe, because de-
mocracy is in the ascendant everywhere;
there is the more practical consldera-
ton that "thc white males oil voting
age are now more numerous IN South
Carolina than are the Negro males.
Hence. their admission to member
ship In the Democratic party, far from
being menace would remove such
menace rs may be imagined to exist.
The State allows itself subtle reference
to certain ugly charges in its argument
that the adoption Of the Australian
ballot plan, when perfected, will guard
tic vote from corruption, whether by
whites or Negroes, 50 long as the white
administrators Of the law shall he un-
corrupted. New York Evening Post.

Police and Soldiers.

X IS ycrc unfortunate lha; such 3
feeling OF hos nhty should have been
cngendered between the members of our

reason for the feeling or not, the soldiers
seem 10 believe the police have a pref
udIcc against them, and are not dis
posed totrcat them fairly The situation

that he Is immune from the control Of

matters much worse
Soldiers have no more right TO make
disorder than civilians, and when they
act in disorderly manner are liable to
arrest prosecution and punishment by
the evil authorities Our city is not
under martial law, and the soldiers are
not IN control They have certain duties
10 perform, in guarding property, and
there Is reason why they should not
perform them without any untoward
clashing with the policemen
Il ought to be possible for the police
authorities and the military authorities
20 get together in common agreement
and make arrangements that will prevent
any clashes or unpleasant disagreement
hereafter As long as there is need of
the soldiers for guard duty, they VIII be
kept here And there should be no seri-

A Crime That Should be Punished

We can recall no more brutal or shock
ing crime in the criminal annals of our
community than the murder of Howard
Morgan Lacey, young man of n years,
a taxi driver, carly Thursday morning.
II is a crime that calls for the most per-
Sistent efforts of the authorities to bring
tho perpetrators to justice and visit the
full penalty of the law upon them.
The circumstances, so far as known,
are peculiarly atrocious. The young
taxi driver was summoned by telephone
20 answer a call for service He responded,
and 1t IS believed that two men, and
possibly woman, got into his car On
the outskirts of the city he was beaten
10 death and his body thrown out on the
road. The automobile was subsequently
abandoned by the murdcrcrs, and was
recovered in n greatly damaged CON
dItion
Mystery surrounds this shocking crime.
II Is not known. thus far, what the motive
was, or what influenced the parties who
summoned this young man and his car
for service and afterwards hrutallv
murdered him There Is no telling what
may be at the bottom Of this mystery
But. at any rate, this crime was ono
Of the most shocking and startling that
ever occurred in our city II is ono that
may well arouse apprehension. II there
are Wilkins m our ,ommunlty that will
deliberately commit such an apparently
dastardly crime. no man or woman
Will know when be or she Is safe
II IS not always easy to detect criminals
The criminal works in secret and MAY
leave no trail But every effort should
be put forth IN this instance to make the
law effective. If necessary, outside help
should be secured Il would not 10 to
allow such crime to GO unpunished
II was first supposed that the thcf'

crirnc bur Its abandonment di>proves

70 the mystery that attends the murder
Why this young taxi driver should hava
been summoned 10 death-trap- or,
summoned without criminal purpose at
The outset later murdered in cold blood

known that he was brmally murdered,
and tho horrid crime calls aloud for the
OF the law
