y0CELlE REPLIES
TO HIS CRITICS
Senatorial Nominee From This
District Takes Shot at lnde-

den County.

Hon. James T. Vocelle, of St. Marys,
the regular nominee of the Demo
cratic party for the senate from the
Fourth, (Brunswick) district was
among the visitors to the city yes
terday.
Mr.. Vocelle, bitterly resents the
action of some of his fellow citizens
of Camden county, in bringing out
an independent candidate against
him, since he was the regular ncmi-
nee at the primary, in which many of
those responsible for this candidate
participated.
He was a member of the last
house; was On the committee on
Constitutional amendments and in
that committee lead the fight in fa-
vOr of Brunswick.
When asked for a statement yes
terday on the situation Mr.. Vocelle
said:

en- the privilege Of reply in the same
forum there is no doubt in the mind
of any one who knows him that he
could take care of himself. We will
say this, however. There is no man
in South Carolina who is better in
formed as to the needs of the schoolse
than Mr.. Swearingen, and we do not
believe there is a man who is more
interested in taking progressive steps
in educational matters than he is, and
who is doing more in that regard than
he is. 1t is in no sense a personal
matter, but one that concerns several
hundred thousand children of this
state, and Mr.. Swearingen is only the
spokesman for these little children
and making an honest effort to help
them to develop into true men and
women and to give them the advan-
tages to which they are entitled. Our
schools are but the great factories
of the state for the manufacture, so
to speak, of men and women, and
their first duty should be to develop
good citizens. The state through it's
legislature has promised to furnish
the capital with which to run this big
factory, and it should not fail to live
up to it's agreement. And Mr.. Swear
ingen as the head of the machinery
has simply stated to the legislature
what is necessary to keer the wheels
turning, and no good can come to this
big business and its orderly conduct
by attacks on the head, and in a
forum in which he has no word or re-
ply or explanation, and it is unfair
and unjust and does not help the or
derly conduct of the great business
of running the schools.

CANNOT BE DEFERRED

We can put off the painting OF the
house the present year and maybe
next year, we can do without new
automobile, the old suit Of clothes can
be cleaned, pressed and maybe re
built" as the tailors say in order that
we may do without a great many
things without material loss or IN
convenience, but we cannot defer for
a wear nor for a month what we owe
to the children of this state in the
way of an education. The schools
must run.
The Press and Banner is not
among those who think the present
plan of distributing state approprla-
tions for schools is the best plan, but
it is the best plan until better one
is worked out. 1t should be followed
and the necessary appropriations
made the present year to keep the
primary schools, the graded schools
and the high schools in operation for
the full terms.
A child who leaves school in the
middle of the term will be discour-
aged. He may not enter the school
again. If he does he will not obtain
the full training he is entitled to and
which is necessary in order to meet
the requirements of the higher grades
and of the colleges.
We are all poor and most OF us
would be glad to say that we have
nothing and owe nothing. But II we
owed twice the amount we now owe
we would say that the schools must
run. TIE fact is that the people,
while temporarily in bad financial
condition, are not insolvent. The
country is not insolvent. Better
times are ahead, and while it may
take a long, stiff pull to make the
grade we will make it. When we
have made it, let US not then reproach
ourselves with having neglected the
children who had to go along with US.
The matter of educating them cannot
be deferred. 1t is a task for today.
-Abbeville Press and aBnner.

lacks the necessary maturity of in
tellect, judgment and vision to fit
him to serve as one of the directors of
this historic institution.
No one will dispute the PROPOSE
tion that there are men in the gen.
eral assembly who would make splen-
did trustees of the University, but
it is the better course to obey the
state constitution and it is fairer to
elect them outside of the legislature
If there are members of the present
general assembly who aspire to be
trustees, let them in interest of fair
play, observance of law and justice
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1922-02-24

matter, but it is not. 1t recognizes
and lays down a sound principle in
state legislation which is that mem
bers of the general assembly should
not hold two offices, that a legislator
ought not to serve as trustee of a
state institution.
This principle is simply reaffirma-
ton of the requirement of the con-
stitution of South Carolina that no
person shall at the same time hold
two Offices in this state.
So far as The Piedmont is inform
ed, this is the first time that either
branch of the legislature has recog-
nized that clause in the state consti-
tuition and voted to obey it. No 9TH
er provision in the organic law of the
state has been more frequently ig-
nored and violated.
Here is one vice of the practice of
electing members of the legislature
as trustees of state institutions. The
people of the county elect their men,
bers of the general assembly to rep
resent then-and them alone. When,
however, legislator is elected trus-
tee of state institution, he is COM
mitted to the proposition that he
shall also represent it-and there may
be conflict of interests. How will
he vote? Whose interests will he de-
fend?
No legislator should be a trustee
of the University of South Carolina
or any other state institution.
When a member of the general
assembly announces that ne seeks a
trusteeship, others who are not men,
bers of that body are automatically
barred from seeking the position.
With little regard to his qualifica-
tions, his fellow members feel bound
to vote for him, and so he is chosen
overwhelmingly.
1t is now up to the house of repre-
sentatives as to whether or not it
will concur in the action of the SEN
ate. Unquestionably the house should
do so, not only in obedience to the
state constitution, but also as mat
ter of common right and justice. If
the members of the house take the
same position as the senate on the
bill to provide additional trustees for
the University Of South Carolina,
they will deserve the thanks of the
people they were chosen to serve.
In proposing the enlargement of
the board of trustees of the Univer-
sity of South Carolina, the alumni OF
that institution do not contemplate
that all the additional trustees shall
be alumni. 1t is their hope that the
very best men available from all Sec,
tions of the state will be chosen.

alumni of the University would rath-

graduated only a short time and who

UNFAIR AND UNJUST

It is very unfair and unjust for
members of the legislature in discuss
ing the appropriations for the depart
ments of the government to make per-
sonal attacks on the heads of depart
ments, as we understand was the case
in discussion of the educational de-
nartment, when some very unklnd re-
marks were made in regard to Mr..
Swearingen. In the first place, Mr.
Swearingen is not the department,
and if the appropriation should be
made, it should be without reference
TO the man who happens at the time to
fill the Office. In other words, what
ever may be the feeling of the men,
her of the legislature toward any
state officer he should be big enough
70 rise above personal feelings and
do what is right and just and proper
In the second place, 1t IS neither
right nor manly to attack man IN
forum in which you are protected and
he has no right of reply or answer.
Il is neither manly act nor brave
thing to do. And we are surprised
that certain members of the legisla-
ture have indulged in that sort of
thing, especially in the discussion Of
the educational department.
We hold no brief for Mr.. Swearin-
oen. In fact, he does not need any
one to defend him, and if he was Civ
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1922-02-24

The senate fails to adopt the lux
forum and then offers nothing to take
the place. In the next two or three
weeks you will find the legislature
about ready to adjourn and the same
old levy on visible property, such as
farms and houses and lots and mules
and cows and such things, and the
rich man will go on living and pay
ing only on his visible property which
in many cases is the smallest part of
it. They are laying the mines and
the explosion will come little later
and it is going to be terrific.
