POLITICIANS
l
With reference to the professional
politician, a recent issue of Harper's
Weeklv" lias tlie following to say:
"Politicians are a hardy race
found in any land between the poles.
Indigenous to all climes, this race is
i
one of the greatest and oldest on
jearth. dating back in history to a ,
time when the Sphinx was a mere
child, and before the river Nile emi-|<
grated to Egypt. It is thought that
Julian, in 4713 B. C.. was one or the
first politicians to see an advantage'
; in the short ballot, inaugurating the '
'system by beheading troublesome ri- j
vals. This also took the place of an
eliminating contest. Through th?
(
i many cent uries, politics emerges only ,
iu trille hazy. The Julians. Caesars. |
Poinpeys and other party leaders of <
ohlen times tolerated no long can- v
ceses. but met. and after a briof
!c
argument with swords, the strongest;
political aspirant walked away tojx
claim his office, dropping in to tell I v
!the corner the news. All other crops *
may have their seasons of short'
t
|measure, but the political yeild holds
its own front year to year. Al- c
though some portions are blighted, g
io .. o.,r..i,..r,,
'ill all vacancies from poundma'slrr
to president. Politicians are driven j M
by six horsepower motives, the best i
known being cash, personal pride and j J
a consuming desire to save the conn- *
try. There are several varieties, i
The perennial class thrives und-*r|
all adverse conditions, and discounts'
other breeds of optimists. Another'
varietv binds and gags hints df and fj
when discovered tells how the office | ,
has been forced on him. There are a
the specimens known as the hot ?
house growth, hobbled and trotted
\
foods, and. like these popular mornd
11 g diets, there is often move on the j.
;al? I th;:r in the package. y
It is a great misfortune that fheiC
fvamers of our constitution were unable
to make that splendid document '
"fool proof" We have tried to!'
I P
regulate everything and everybody.
We have given capital frowns that
would touch the heart of a pawn-)u
broker. Many of our laws are as purposeless
as a cat chasing its tail,
others sting like an adder, and still
others build like a mason's trowel.
f!ut the good old Ship of State >
now in the turning-basin and tfnm'.i
Carolina is in many respects the
safest stain in the I'nion. A -i'I'Or

In South Carolina we are undoubt-|o
edly the greatest politicians on earth. I'
We are democrats by birth and proud
8
of it. and our devotion and sincere .
. '
loyalty to the name has made us
the prey of demagogues and a target
of all classes of politicians.
w e pin' up democratic majorities ;
as high as the pyramids of Kgypt. ?'i
an they are just about as useless.
Many political parties have, in *
days past and gone, crossed swords
with South Carolina democracy and j
none down in defeat, and many par- d
iv factions have fought themselves "
into silence. Like the harem skirt, j'
' e
in many respects, the democratic , ^
party i- divided, hut will not fall, fn
