and will be constantly required along
these lines.
Cost Is Cheapest. -
The cost of maintenance OF this
force is by far the cheapest the state
has ever had when compared with
prior times of industrial disturbances
and strikes. Its efficiency is not
controverted. Those who are opposed
to it aver the constitutional rights
Of individuals have, in isolated in
stances, not been preserved. This
force has been recruited mainly from
among our ex-service men, It has
been placed without prior training
as a police force in the most trying
and difficult positions, where pas
sions have been inflhmed and ex-
citement has run high. Every move
ment and every action Of these men
have been subjected to the closest
scrutiny. Under these circumstances
it must have been humanity impossi-
BILE to have pleased everybody. In
deed it would have been only natural
IL mistakes have been committed.
but these are no more reasons for
abolishing our state police force than
ARE the mistakes or excesses Of po-
lice officer of the city of Denver for
abolishing that force
No thinking man can view the re-
suits obtained impartially and come
to any other conclusion than that
our present police force has function
ed economically, and with the utmost
efficiency. 1t has blazed the way for
order under the law in the future.
Every man must be protected in his
constitutional rights. Our police force
must be trained as to just what these
rights are and must protect them. In.
stead of talking of abolshing this most
capable organization we should unite
to build up and increase it's morale
and carefully select it's personnel; di
rect and train it in its various dutie,

"a tiny tongue Of land extending
from Broad Street in Charleston to
the beautiful bay formed by the con-
fLence of the Ashley and the Cooper
rivers is all Of South. Carolina that
has counted in the past" writes Lud-
wig Lewisohn in THE NATION for
July IL, in an article which he calls,
South Carolina; A Lingering Frag-
rance" Mr.. Lewisohn, who is the
dramatic editor Of THE NATION,
spent his early years in South Caro-
lima, and has drawn a memorable pic
ture Of his impressions and affection
for the state in his new book, up
Stream. The present article de-
scribes the state from a rather more
detached viewpoint, taking for its
keynote the old literary Charleston.
It is the seventh article Of THE Ma
TION'S series, "These United States"
which has attracted wide attention
with it's studies of Marland. Mississ-
ippi, Kansas by William Allen White,
etc. :'''.
Mr.. Lewisohn eulogizes the old
Charlestonians, who loved letters
and learning and romance. the
Charlestonians who charmed Henry
James and Owen Wister, in the era
when in Charleston ''everybody
wrote" Touching lightly on the
modern industrialism of the cotton
mills, which ne feels has spoiled the
tradition Of the state, he relates anec-
dotes of the old families who made
this fine culture, and who were and
are. he asserts, when every deduc-
ton has been made, among the most
civilized Of Americans.
The Nation is an important national
weekly of liberal views. published at
20 Vesey Street, New York. Essays on
the other states are in preparation,
