A PRIVATE CITIZEN.

The Charlotte Observer. editorial
izing upon a bill introduced in the
Tar Heel legislature designed to
stop Illicit traffic in liquor, says: "a
blockader caught with so much as
"A quart Of liquor would be liable to
Z fine of $50 and a year in the pen
itentiary. In case Of a private citi-
zen, it would be s25 and one wear"
The News confesses n certain igno-
rance as to the legal status of a
blockader. but cannot comprehend
the Observers line OF distinction. If
the blockader is not private citizen,
he must be a public service corpora
ton, or, perhaps. is in class by
himself We may surmise from the
Observers views. that a private citi-
zen may become blockader. but
never a blockader a private citizen
That is an unusual assertion. but no
more can be surmised from the OBJ
servers line of argument.

James II. Pearman. V. NJ. Montgom-
cry, John T. Stevens, ID. w. Alder

"How often do you cuss the roads

Retrenchment in expenses is all right
bat it can be easily overdone. and
in this particular case it has been
overdone.
However, the wage schedule" o.
the state officers in South Carolina
is now much nearer the point OF
right and justice and no one will pick
a fuss with the senate because it re
fused to allow the governor full
100 per cent increase Five thou

thousand and the senate was going
in the right direction. only at not
quite the speed it ought to have
made.

1t may be seen from the foregoing
that the cost of governing the state
will be increased some seventeen
thousand dollars annually. and Gov
ernor Cooper will receive from the
state nearly twice as much as Gov.
Manning received, but there will be
no one to say that the salaries as in
creased by the legislature are too
high. Truth is the governors sal
airy should have been fixed at So
900 year instead of $1,000, as was
proposed when the bill first came up.

STATE OFFICERS SALARIES.

A quick move was necessary in the
legislature to raise the salaries of
officers might get the benefit. The
salary cannot be raised during the
term of any officer and had Governor
Cooper and the other state officers
began their terms earlier they could
not have profited by the increase.
The bill went through with a whoop
and barely in time and the new
scale of salaries is more in keeping
with the present cost of living and
holding office than was the old one.
The governors salary is increased
from $4,000 to $1,000.
Lieutenant-governo $500 to
$3.50.
Attorney-general $1,000 to $3,-
600.

Delcasse on the state of the navy, which DeIcasse had been Investigating as head of parliamentary commits sion appointed for that purpose.
 His Activity During the War
 During the war in his paper, L'Homme Libre, whose name he changed to L'Homme Enchaine be- cause of the censorship, he eIamored continuously for strong Government that should be ruthless In dealing with internal troubles, in putting down pa cifist and defeatist propaganda, in putting all the resources of the coun- try into the war, and in eradicating favoritism and incompetency from the army and munitions production. He declined Cabinet posts in order to keep his freedom of criticism.
 During this period he was critic of President Wilson, commenting sarcas. ticalIy on the American notes, attack ing the birthday congratulations which President Wilson sent to the Kaiser, continually describing him as "a law yer" and expressing unbounded ad- miraton Ior Theodore Roosevelt. When immediately after the entrance of this country into the war, Colonel Roosevelt was meeting with opposi- ton in Washington in his plan to take a division of volunteers abroad, Glenn enceau printed in L'Homme Enchaine in the form of letter to President Wilson a long appeal for him to send Roosevelt to France, in which he said:
 "Allow me to say, in all candor, that at the present moment there Is in France one name which sums up the beauty of American intervention. 1t is the name Roosevelt, your predecessor, even your rival, but with whom there can be now no other rivalry than heartening success"
 Clemenceau became Premier In Mo- vember, 1917. In additiona to his vigor- ous administration of France, he en- cleared himself to the French by his intrepidity in constantly visiting the front and exposing himselfpto sheilfire. When the war was won and the armi- stice signed, he was the object of a tremendous demonstration at the Chamber, which demanded an address from him. He said:
 "What had to do with victory. 1t was the poiu."
 In the negotiations since then M. clemenceau has had one great object, the absolute assurance of future se- curity to France. Taking position squarely in opposition to President Wilson, he declared in favor of an al- iiance restricted to the Allies, with commc1 interest and sympathies, whose power would be great enough to prevent any future menace from Ger many or Russia. Giving some ground he sought to harmonize his plan and that of President Wilson by favoring a League of Nations which should have a military force on the ground in France sufficient to deal with Cor many at any future date. This pro posal, however, found no place in the tentative charter of the League. - New York Times.
