EX-GON. COOPER

Ex-Governor Robert A. Cooper four
years ago told the people of South
Carolina that he would erect a mOnu-
ment" to the soldiers who riskcd their
all on the fields of France, not a mon
umcnt of metal or marble, but more
enduring monument OF schools and
colleges where the youth Of South Car
olina would be given a chance to learn
Of the beauties OF life and to compete
with the youth of other states in the
nations battles. He told his hearers
frankly and sincerely that in cduca-
ton lay the future happiness and
prosperity Of the state, but that it
would require sacrifices of labor and
money. Under his leadership great
strides were made in building this
monument, but when the bill came to
be paid his followers turned their
backs on him. The leader out Of the
wilderness Of ignorance left his high
office discrcditcd even in the eyes Of
those whom he labOred 10 help. The
Advertiser. for one, resents the at
tacks on this one whom we believe was
among the best intentoned and noDleSt
minded governors the state has ever
had.

ISSUES THE SAME

It may not have occurred to many
Of the voters who will cast their bal
lot next week to retain the rural po-
lice system that the same issues rul-
ing in this question rule also in the
campaign for the goyernorship.
While It may be true that some op-
poncnts Of even any kind OF rural
police system are sincere advocates
of law enforcement, it is to be assum-
ed that every supporter Of the system
is for law-enforccment and that he
will not let his fervor fo" law enforce
ment be spent on the rural police
question alone. If this assumption be
correct it Inevitably follows tha. t..u

system, or any other system which
maybe thought more efficient, ln"~.
yoteato be logical, for candidate for
governor who they believe will be more
diligent in aiding the police in enforc-
irg the lay and creating an atmos-
Dhcre for law enforcement.
TO our mind it is not difficult mat
ter to eliminate at least one candidate
whose record as past governor Of
the state gives little promise that Of
