The Charlotte Observer linds
much for thought in the stateine t
of the GalTney Ledger that the gov
ernor of South Carolina draws a
salary of three thousand dollars a
year, and the Observer is much perturbed
over such evidences of financial
recklessness. "The salary of
the governor of North Carolina,"
the Observer tells us. "is $6,500 and
In addition to that lie is 'allowed'
$?JOO a year for traveling expense*.
tu.it ii** ?l I't'Sl?lenoe
free of rent ami tho state
hires and pays for his servants. Tho
governor's mansion at Ilalcigh is no
mean affair, either. It is a l> ;
house, set on a hig l<?t, with trees
and shnihbt rv. giving the wliole tie1
appearance of sotne of the I'reneh
chateaux or l'uropean landed estates
we see pictures of. In fact,
the pret? nsions of the governor's
mansion w is the main reason for i 1
increase in tlte salary of the govern
or. The state felt called upon to
make his salary in measure tit the
PI vie of the house ho is expected to
maintain. Hut the infonnallon m
regard to South Carolina's oxtrava
y nt notions in relation to the poof
its governor is of a character 'o
cause surprise. We imagine the to
mainder of the South Carol'na state
officers are paid on a scale in pr
portion, and if ever news conies tu: t
the 1'ilinetto State lias l'iiih' into
bankruptcy the people will nniler-| '
stand that it 'went broke' in payii ? 1
exiravaaant salaries."
? !t is a faet hardly to he dispute l]
, that most, if not all the state officers
in South Carolina are under1
( n t inly the governor is. We
believe the governor of Vir?!nia k
paid -'\ thousand dollttrs a year and'1
' ]
lias a fund of four thousand dollars
whieh he is not required to account '
) r, this to he used for travelrn '
expenses, etc.. if the governor s > 1
wishes, or he may let it alone if he 1
no wishes. The North Carolina pnv
ernor has received $f>,500 for only 1
very recent years. A short while ago!
the salary was $4,000. Hut this (
fittest ion of salaries for state ofllcers 1
is a rather la>ge <|uestion and there
are many angles front which to view '
it. One is that the smaller the salary
the less apt the adventurer w'll
he to seek office. Where a sacrifice
is necessary candidates are sure to
seek the office for the Rood that thev
ran do the state and not themselves,
though there was never a truei
statement than that the laborer Ih
worthy of his hire The same rule
might perhaps work in anothei
wuy: Were the salary larger thei
might be a chance of better men
seeking office. These are merely

encounters when he attempts 10
1"stify either a latge or small salary.
It is a question that opens t iway
to more talk than action
That the governor should have a
larger salary than he now pets In
Bouth Carolina will hardly he dented
by anyone. Three thousand
dollars Is not enough to live on and
^ . ?it
probably costs a governor in thisj
state in the neighborhood of live
thousand dollars a year. There is,i
of course, some glory in being governor
of a great state like South
Carolina and there is little else but
glory at the present salary.

A ItKASOX, rKltll.U'K.
A Washington paper announced'
the other day that the reason So--|
rotary McAdoo resigned hts two im
portant positions was disagreement'
with the president over government)
ownership of the railroads and als >)
I
disagreement over the possibility of
I
the president seeking a third term.!
The News is not aware where the!
Washington paper got its information,
but is surprised to a degree)
that the announcement created so
.ittle interest. Mr MeAdoo possibly
will run for the presidency; possibly!,
.Mr. Wilson will run for tho presl-l
deney. lint The News would not bo
liovo that the president and Mr j
MeAdoo would fall out about 't.
We ate prepared to believe tlr?t
Mr. MeAdoo gave the real reason for
his resignation; we have no reason,
in fart, to doubt Mr. MeAdoo. nl
though there may have been indications
that Mr. MeAdoo was resigning
in order to get out mil build polit' j,(
i
cal fenees. It would look that wavji
to "a man up a tre?," so-to-speak.1
However, relinquishing his duties as 1
11
secretary of the treasury, but hold- ^
ir.g on to his position as director-1 i
general of railroads, would have the|i
icaiiMuuir> t'lii'ci <>i mining his po 1
litical prospects through opening the
(
way for his opponents to declare his
purpose of lining up the railroad i
vole before turning loose the rail- (
roads. The position he has taken !
i
merely opens that channel,
through which it is possible for It s
opponents to float some dangerous ]
submarines. If Mr. .McAdoo's re.in <
sons were as the Washington pupc '
declares he might have taken a cue '
from the resignation of Mr. llryan
from the cabinet because he <! i
agreed with the president, hut Mi '
It-van's resignation front the cabinet '
dhli.'t do Mr Bryan any gifod.

Probably so. The crown prince

that the crown prince was gifted

The crown prince gives hunger as

says, was due "to revolution induced
by four years of hunger among the
civilians and the troops In the rear,

Perhaps the last statement by tho.P
crown prince is true but it is rather
contradicting, in that he had already
said the war was lost back in 1914.
long before the United States entered
the conflict. But, in the crown

also did not desire war. we And the
