Lloyd George and Labor.
New York Post J

In order to appreciate the significance of Lloyd
Georges imprisoned denunciation of British labor
it is essential remember that in three successive
hyeelections the Coalition has recently been defeated
The widespread dissatisfaction with the Govern
mens policy has at last begun to express itself not
merely in the press and the political platforms but
the polls. SO long the Independent Liberals and
the Laborites merely voices crying in the wild
erness OF the radical press it was possible for one
essentially a politician to feel in the poses
sion of mechanical majority in the House of Com
mons. Now that the opposition forces have demon
strated their ability to make their strength felt in
of actual votes. Indignation has taken the place
of Indifference.
The great strength of British parliamentary gov
eminent has resided in the existence of active and
effective opposition. When that system modi-
fed to meet the exigencies of there in
tenton OF eliminating it permanently from English
politics. The delay, however in restoring has been
matter serious concern to thinking Englishmen
and its prolonged suspension has been regarded as
injurious TO the dignity, efficiency, and prestige OF
parliamentary government England. Needless to
say Lloyd George has never shared these apprehen-
SONS. The extension of war conditions into peace
time has been the greatest asset of administration
which could hardly have survived the criticism of
powerful opposition in the House
Consequently the doctrine cultiS ated that any
criticism of the Coalition amounted to little short Of
treason. To question the wisdom of the Cabinet was
tantamount to stabbing England in the back British
Labor refused to subscribe 10 this dogma that it
became necessary the hand of Lenine in this
contumacious assertion of independence. Otherwise
seemed impossible to explain the political bias
pHelHS OF pppOSliloH How remotely jllS melodfa-
matte theory corresponds to the known facts of the
British temperament and of British Labor politics
need hardly emphasize. Except for the profes-
sional rebels of the Daily Herald, every Labor
spokesman has emphatcally protested against Boil
shevism, and only Miss Pankhursts Communists have
received the benediction of Moscow. British Labor is
essentially the expression of honest bourgeois trade
unionism Naturalization of mines and railroads is
the widest of its economic flights, and that is far
eff is the days when Fabianism regarded as
revolutionary. But it is not unlikely that Labor will

ton in the British Parliament. Hence Lloyd Georges
recol from prospect far more disturbing to him
personally than the fact that he has just come tc
terms with the only real Bolshevist regime in the
world

On Tuesday Mr.. George J. Graham
stepped down ard out of the sheriff :;
office at the Court House to give w2y
to his successor, Mr.. H. S. Gamble who
received his commission as sheriff of
the County Tuesday.
Mr.. Graham was elected to Office in
1899 and entered upon the duties Of
Sheriff in January 1900. He has there
fore held the office for twenty years
50 faithfully and so we'll that the citi-
zens of Williamsburg county are not
only grateful to him for his services
but look upon his tenure of office with
pleasureable pride.
Had he ran for reelection he could
have continued in office but on account
of his age he preferred to retire.
In his retirement The County Re-
cord wishes him long lease on life
that he may still enjoy the high es-
TEEN and warm affections of his f.
low citizens
His successor Mr.. H. S. Gamble is
a young man we'll and favorably
known throughout the County, whose
citizens have given him thei:' hearty
endorsement. We feel sure that he
will make the county a good sh'riff.
Upon turning over the office of
sheriff Tuesday, Sheriff Graham
transferred FIVE prisoners now con-
fined in the County Jail, which were
receipted for by Sheriff Gamble.

LEAGUE OF WOW
Asserts Aims and Purposes o.
Existance

Mr.. Editor
The South Carolina League of
Women Voters asserts it's purpose of
existance, namely to safeguard Ind
advance the legal, industrial and edu
cational rights of women and to raise
the standard of American citizenship
by education and by working for \
more intelligent electorate.
A bill that will be Introduced by the
League of Women Voters will be i
bill to raise the age of consent from
Ia to 16 years. A girl or boy Of IA
years is too young to be married in
South Carolina a::d is too young to
bind him or herself to any contract.
Every thinking man end woman
knows that boy or girl is also too
young and has not the experience nor
discretion to decide question that is
of much more importance to is or heT
whole future. l am sure the mothers
and fathers of little girls and boys of
IA years realize how much those chill
dren need protection and they want
mot only to protect their own children
but other children that have not been
'ssafeguarded as theirs have been,
Owing to the condition brought
about by the low price of cotton, We
wish to go on record as not asking for
ANY appropriations this year, although
we heartily indorse several bills for
which appropriations are being asked
and we hope that the general AS
sembly will see fit to pass those bills
in 1922 if they are unable to do 9"
this year.
The women OF the State are IN
terested in the revision Of the tax law
and they also feel that the only solu-
ton of the u2building of all state in
stitution should come through bond
issue.
Among the bills which have re-
ceived the hearty Endorsement OF the
women are: /. The bill providing for
the State to take over the property
known as the Fairwold school to pro-
vide for wayward negro girls op-
portunities of training such as tne
white boys and girls and the rogro
bows have. 2. The bill to establish
a state prison for women. 3. A bill
for Dormitory for girls at the Uni
versity of South Carolina.

Police officers and detectives can
