Remittance; should bo made pay able to The limes and Democrat, Orangebarg, ft, C., by registered let ter, check or iaoney order. "Maine doesn't seem to be either very wet or veiy dry," exclaims The' Newberry Observer. The race for the Democratic Pres idential nomination lays between Wil son and Hannen. Both good men. The talk of impeaching Governor J Blease is all nonsense, and will nev- ( er be seriousl r :onsidered by the Leg islature. Col. Talbeit aas just about as much chance 'of bdrg elected to the Unit-j ed States Sei8te a* he has of flying! to the moon. It takes aacut as long to find out how the we; ind dry election went in Maine as is does to elect a parlia ment over :'n ijngland. > -? The Greenville Daily Piedmont says that "jrcbably Col. Jasper Tal bert just war ted to tour the state and decided to run for the Senate as an excuse fer doing it." i - - We know that it is the almost un iversal wish of the people of Orange burg Count} that Senator Tillman re main in the Senate, and we believe this is the 1 /l ih of the people of the State. Juit aboit one month from now the hunters cf the loaves and fishes will begin to "cuss" out Mayor Sain ^because he can't create a good, fat job for each o:' them.' His honor, may as well .7 at ready for the "cuss ing" became it is coming. Senator, Tillman should be given another term without opposition, but, of course, if Tolbert, wishes to test his ability to come back by leading .3 lorlorn hare In the senatorial race1 sis he once did in the governor's race, ?there Is no power to prevent him Ifrom doing so. We heai a good deal of talk of reclamatorf work among the vicious (poor, and certainly there is need of euch work. But there is quite as much need that similar work be done among the vicious rich. Of the two classes the rtch are the more danger ous to socle y because In the power' which wealth, social position, and education g!ve them their facilities for wrong doing are greater and their example and influence more potent. If one halt we read-and hear about the social doings of Newport the so called fou' hundred have little or no inofals to speak of. A disregard for imoral lav and sacred institutions, depraved noral tastes, idleness and a selfish mhuse of wealth seem to be the main characteristic of Newport society a* i whole. Its life shows the dempxalizatlon caused by the possessior of great wealth when the character is not governed by right principles." The mi.n/ recent fatal railroad ac cidents rjmind us of the saying of Charles I amb when in the early days of England railroading accidents were so numei o is. He said there would be no betterment until a railroad di rector or two were killed in a rail road wre.-k. Perhaps If some drastic experience were to befall a few Amer ican railroad magnates traveling might be safer on American lines. Certainly taere is need for much im provement. In a Utter to the New York Times Gov. Please in denying that he Is a a hater of the negro, asks: "It is said thai I hate 'free negroes;' if so, why is i. that I have paroled or par doned more of them in seven months than any governor we have had has done in ii.^ four years of office?" Gov ernor Blease ,wil have to answer his own question to the Democratic vot ers of fair State next summer. He will have to explain to them why he has uset the pardoning power so fre ly.. A disregard for decency was never more wantonly displayed than it was recentlj by- a company of midnight revelers who turned a cemetery into a midnight ball. People who dance upon tl eir ancestors' graves, convert monuments into chandeliers by hang ing lanterns upon them, and the roof of a vault into a platform for the orchestra must be lost to all sense o' reverence and shame. They belong to the class that laughs at the instruction of fathers, mocks the prayers of mothers, and breaks all the commandments of impunity. If it was not for the country the large < it;es would be a great deal worse than they are. The virility and moral stanima of their popula tion is kept up through the stream that flows steadily from the country to the city of strong, healthy young (men an d women, who carry with them their brawn, moral power and mental robust less. Bait for this constant renews.] of forces the strenuous and often artificial and vitiating character cf city life would ultimately result Sn an vtter deterioration of urban population. Prophecy Beine Fulfilled. Ia June, 1873. accordng to the Philadelphia (North American, Ed ward J. Ryan, chief justice of the su preme court of Wisconsin, gave this prophetic warning to the graduating class of the University of Wisconsin: "There is looming up a new and dark power. I can not dwell upon the signs and shocking omens of its advent. The accumulation of indi vidual wealth seems to be greater ? than it ever has been "since the down fail of the Roman empire. The en terprises of the co'.ntry are aggre gating vast corporate combinations of unexampled capital, boldly march ing, not for econmic conquests only, but for political power. We see their colors, we hear their trumpets, we distinguish the sound of prepara tion in their camps. For the first tim'j in our politics, money is taking the field as an or ganized power. It is unscrupulous, arrogant and overbearing. Already here at home, one great corporation has trifled with the soverign power and insulted the state. There is grave fear that it and its great rival have confederated to make partition of the state and share it as spoils. ?"Wealth has it*, rights. Indus trious wealth has its honors. This it is rho duty of the law to assert and protect, though wealth has great power of self-protection and influence beyond the limits of integrity. Biut money as a political influence is es sentially corrupt; It Is one of the most dangerous to free institutions; by far the most dangerous to the free and just administration of the law. It is entitle'' to fear if not to reopect. "The question will arise, and arise In ycur day, though perhaps not fully in mine; Which shall rule, wealth or man; which shall iead, money or in tellect; who shall fill public station, educated and patriotic freemen or the feudal serfs of corporate capital?" The prophecy of Judge Ryan is being rapidiy fulfilled almost to the letter. He certai ly knew what he was talking about when he made it It took the people a long time to catch on, but we believe they have their eyes open at last, and it begins to look as if the thieving trusts will be called to account. m ?*? ? Recall or Judges. In an address before the Bar Asso ciation of Minnesota, following sev eral speeches denouncing the threat ened destruction of the independence cf the judiciary, Mr. James Mana han, a Minneapolis lawyer, said: "It is urged that the recall of 'the judges would subject the judiciary to the clamor of the mob. The man who believes the people are a mob does not believe In a republican form of government. He should leave this country. He -has no place here; his spirit is treasonable. Respect the judges, of course, the same as we respect men in other offices who do their duty; no more, no less. We can not respect tlaem if they are ar rogant ? or tyrannical or despotic. And if they are not held responsible they become to a greater or less de gree arrogant, tyrannical and despot ic. They are entitled to the respect earned by the justice and wisdom of their judgment, and this should be measured not by them, but by that soverignt'y that creates them. Let their work be done in the light of the power they serve. The more , direct and severe the light, the great er will shine the glory of their work well done." What Mr. Manahan says is unan swerable, and hi;j word3 ought to be posted where all can read them. Re spect the judges., of course, but "let their work be done in the light of the power they ..erve. The more di rect1 and severe the light, the greater will shine the glory of their work well done." A-- Mr. Manahan says the man who believes that the peo ple are a mob does not believe in a republican form of government like ours. Those men who fear to let the'people hold the judge responsible evidently believe that the people are a mob. Must Bo True Blue. While some .;eople are trying to read Mr. Bryan out of the Democratic party, it becomes more apparent ev ery day that the campaign of IS 12 will be a plain, unmistakable, clear cut discussion, and decision between two lines of national policy, involv ing radical differences upon funda mental points not alone of national legislation, but of the attitude and temperament of the federal execu tive and federal judiciary as well. The national conscience, not less than national intelligence, demand a thorough change, a reversal as well as a revision cf the national policy in many important particulars, says the Denver News. The Democratic candid'ate for president next ycfar must be distinctively democratic. He) must be not : 'erely non-republican, I but he must be positively anti-repub lican. He must stand for the things that Taft doe" not stand for. He must represent individually and personally, without chance of ques tion or doubt, all the principles and policies of progressive democracy, as taught by Mr. Bryan. The success of 1912, now seemingly assured, can only lie .consumed along the lines of progressive democracy, which is true democracy, and with a candidate who shall be la all essential partic ulars the apostle and representative of those progressive principles. Cost Him Money. An exchange says "it cost sa coun try newspaper money every time it j takes a stand on any question. Al most any citizeu besides a newspaper man can do it without injuring his business. If the editor advocates im provements the soreheads go after him and sometimes stop their paper. 11' he opposed improvements the pro gressive sort get on him and call him a back number and a knocker. If he publishes politics the opposition gets into his hair, and if he does not he is charged with being afraid to stand out for his opinion. If he condemns mail order houses, there, are some people who ask him to at tend to his own business, as they have a right to trade where they please." This is all true as this pa per knows from experience. Some little three for a quarter fellows think because they take the paper the editor should consult them be fore expressing an opinion on any subject. Such narrow minded peo ple never worry us. They can take tbe paper or not as they please, but we go on hewing to the line and let the chips fall where they will.
