THE CONSTITUTED k:
?iiTuni>;T[PC Tt
jf\KJ t uvai *
r
The Spartanburg Journal, commenting
on the conviction of Senator
Newberry, at Grand Rapid?, last
week, says that the Senator will
likely appeal and that he will make
all manner of efforts to obstruct jus-("
tice. We do not suppose that the a'
Journal means to intimate that the
taking of an appeal by the Senator Q1
is one of the means of obstructing a'
* th
justice, though in some quarters it is
f J"
common to refer to the orderly prosi
cess of the coui'ts in entertaining appeals
as a means of obstructing jus- n<
ta
tice. Seemingly, and presumptively
te
now, Senator Newberry has been
he
nf n violation of the la\VS an
- - - pi
plicable to the spending of money ^
for carrying e:ections, but those who
sp
charge guiiL in this and all other ^
cases shoui i be content to have final
determination of that guilt establish- g(
ed according to the rules of law as ^
declared by the supreme tribunal of to
the land established by the constitu- 01
tion for that purpose. This court has w
the power and duty of construing re
the law under which Senator New- to
berry has bee ntried and the internre- g<
tations put on the act by the trial or
judge, under the constitution, must
be reviewed by it. P'
There is no doubt great harm i.- P'
coming to the country by the use of
money in election cowtests and the
evil is growing, and the act in this
ca.>-c was intended to prevent and
should :?yve tl?o purpose of prevent*
i
:ng the u=e ot money tor uc.i purm
no^e. But scarcely less harm is beine
\v
f'or c the=e .'ays by tho.^e who criti- ,
circ a rif.ii for resorting to the w
courts for the determination of his p
and the man who is always ^
criticising the courts for delays and fc
alleged injustice. The Spartanburg t
Journal has had some commendable
articles recently on the necessity for
obedience to, and respect for the
constituted authorities in tho Clem
son trouble. The courts are the authorities
to pass on the legality of
the conviction of Senator Newberry
and nobody should desire to see him c'?
punished until the courts declare that
he has been legally convicted. The cr
courts need the continued support of ov
all good citizens in the declaration of
the law. 7,

of her latest thrust. It happened u cr<
dinner party in Washington a few w*

was talking of the part American its
women had played in the war. He de- 53
plored at gome length their energy in
seeking publicity, getting their pic- Co
tures in the newspapers, and donning ed

A BIT OF SARCASM no
I
The following bit of sarcasm now
going the rounds of the press is attributed
to a Kansas paper: ^
What we need in every communi- '
'Mi
ty is more fellows who will attend to
other people's business. The otherw<
people are too careless of their busi-|^
ness, and overlook too many points an
Besides, they don't know anything Eabout
their own business affairs'Cc
nyhow. The fellows who devote
lost of their time to other people's
usiness are more efficient and can
indie the other man's business
y.ter than he can handle it hi n.clf.
hey admit that fact so it must be ho.
he fellows who never had a bun!; ;:c>unt
can give the bank president all
nds of pointers on how to improve
is business. Then there is the man
ho can tell the minister just how to
reach and manage his flock. Very
i w editors know how to run their
apers but the fellow who has been
i a printing office but three times in
is life knows all about it. A.11 towns
;ouid lie better if they had more
uttinskys on the job. Just because

NO MONOPOLY OF CREDIT
The Fort Mill Times does not wish

(iy of the credit to which he is entled
for the cut of nearly thrcejarters
of a million dollars in the
jpropriation bill for the conduct of
ic State government as it par.se:!
le senate, but it is not going outde
the facts to state that the gover)r
alone could not have saved the
ixpayers of the State this sum. Afr
it became known that the senate
id made large increase in the ap opriation
bill proposed by the
>use, Speaker Cothran stated in a
leech to the house that unless ma
rial reductions were made in the

at the seante bill carried appropriains
that should be cut and pointed

ductions were made. The sen alt
ok offense at the statement of the
jvernor, toward whom its conferee;
i the bill went into session with the

easant frame of mind, thereby
acing the house conferees at n
eat disadvantage in putting forard
their proposals for reduction
