Wo hope the nepot'.Hm that was prac
ticed In the last legislature will bo
cut out of this one. Neither the mem
bers ,of/tbe House- or the Senate
should fill the office of page or any
'?' other position with their sons, neph

? i The statement made by a Spartan
. .. turg newspaper that. Mr. Johnson Is
the;ohly South'Carolina Congressman
in favor- of t'aklbg from the Speaker
the' power to appoint committees Is
a mistake. Mr. Lover is and always
"has 'fcco.1 a strpn?; advocate of hav
ing the committees named by the
House itself and rot by the Speaker.
No son, nephew, cou3in. or othei
relative of a member of the legisla
ture should be eligible to any 'ap
pointive or elective office in either
the Senate or the House. In the last
Legislature some of these positions
were "hogged"' by members for some
of their family. Su;:h nepotism
should be prohibited by law. and ,
these places awarded by merit instead j
of political pull.
We are glad to know that an effort
will be made to have the National |
Corn Exposition held in Columbia in;
connection with the South Atlantic j
States Corn Exposition next winter, j
South Carolina iE the champion corn'
raiser of the wovld, and her capital I
city would be a most appropriate j
meeting place for the champion corn '
show of the world. By all means'
bring it to Columbia.
Some of the Wall street organs J
are insisting that Mr. Pryan should]
not be allowed to dictate to the Dem- j
ocratic party. The Commoner says '
"they need not be afraid of his try- j
fag to dictate: what they really fear j
is that he will use his knowledte of
men and politlct l history to prevent i
the playing of a bunco game on the j
voters?and there is goo.i ground for j
the fear; they can count on it as a i
certainty."
Senator Robot L. Oven, of Okla
homa, warns the' Democratic party.
He very truly says- the Democrats
cannot afford to be reactionary, and
goes on to say that "tbe people's rule
doctrine is the great doctrine with
which the-Democrats can sweep tho
country. If th:>y fail to make this
the issue, if they seek alHanceB with
tbe reactionaries, the progressive Re
publicans will make this the Issue
and will sweep the country."
Pink Franklin's Case.
In commenting oh the action of
Gov. Ansel in commuting the death
sentence of Pink Franklin to Imprle
onment. for life in the penitentiary
the Columbia-Record -says-tie Gov
ernor's conclusions In the case "do
not appear to be supported by the
?facts ? wis eh - he-relates- in-' his" decree
or decision," which, the Record goes
on to .demonstrate In a most con
clusive manner. "If1'Constable Val
entine,"' Bays "ine"Ttecbrd, "holding
valid warrant, had a legal right to
invade the negro's home and effect
his arrest by v force,' -the" klilinij ot
Valentine was murder and his slayer
should hang.
"If Constable Valentine/holding a
warrant valid or Invalid, had no legal
right to Invader'the'hegro's'home and
effect his arrest by force, the. negro
had a legal'right to resist such un
lawful entrance ? anc. In killing the
"onstabiehe was justified, andshould
therefore go free. If guilty, the ne
gro should hang; i<ot serve a life
term in the penitentiary. If not
i?uilty, be should neither hang , nor
Berve a life sentence.
"There is.no manslaughter'in. the
case; even If there were, tbe penalty
for manslaughter is not life impris
onment but imprisonment from two
to twenty years. Pink Franklin, no
matter the .color of his skin, should 1
either hang, or go free. ? That is all
there is to-the killing of the con
stable." ?
The Record is exactly right, and
tve are glad to Eay that the opinion
axpressod by It agrees with the opin
ion expressed by The Times and
Democrat more than once In' this
:ase. As the Record says, Franklin
ls;elther guilty of - murder or he Ib
innocent, and he should either be'
aung-. or set free. . There Is no es
:aplng that conclusion, from what
Gfov.- Ansel himself 'Bays In his ex
cuse for commatlng the sentence of
Franklin'to life Imprisonment.
Brave Firemen.
Heroism' Is usually associated in
he public mind rv/ltti battle fields, and
aany inspiring are the records of
ieeds of valor and of struggle. But
n these days of peace we are con
dnvally being reminded that there
ire battles other than those in which
nen are pitted against each other In
leadly combat. Probably among the
nost spectacular are those In which
lardy,'fearless'and trained men wres
le with the great fires which threaten
jroperty .and lives. Intent upon
:helr duty and. with no , selfish
ihought .of themselves these firemen
stand face' to face with, danger in
inch' battle,' and of times as in the
>very recent catastrophles In Chlca
jo, Philadelphia and other cities
>rove, they go unfalteringly to their
leath. Such heroism is an ipsplra
lon to the performance of duty un
ter all circumstances and strength
ens faith in human nature.
Shomld Bo Sifted.
Of couras there is an enquiry as to
he cause or causes that ied to the
leath of so many firemen In the re
:ent Chicago .fire. There always Is
in inestlgatlon after a catastrophe
tnd-.great things are promised at the
mtset of what Is going to be done in
he way of reform and of the severe
mnishment to be meted out to the'
juilty ones. But some way or other
he Investigation usually lingers on,
he report Is smothered or made In
>cuous, no guilty one Is punished,
tnd no reforms instituted. There la
m occasional exception to all this,
>ut it is only very occasional, and the
dockyard investigation will be one of
;he exceptions If anything of value
?esults from it.
Something TJnnsnal.
One of the worst of En?Iish rn 11
?oad accidents happened in that
'cvntfy t?. week or two ago resulting
n the loss of abou: thirty lives. The
?insular thing about it Is the fact
;hat the railroad :ompany voluntarily
^stoned responsibility for the a'^cl
ient. It seems almost like a miracle
:bst any large corporation, or trust
should take the blame to Itself. Us
ually, It ds tbe other way and the
best legal talent Is employed and
?very sabfeftnge resorted to In the
effort to show that an accident Is the
Tault of oihers, an act of divine prov
idence, or something else, and that
the corporation Is as Innocent as an
infant child.
Thumb Rings.
That demand made by some ladles
in an eastern state that married men
be compelled by law to wear thumb
rings has at least the merit of novei
ty, but It would not work. M;n are
such wicked, designing creatures that
they would find some way to circum
vent the lav; and continue to flirt
with and make love to unsuspecting
females. Vot the Idea has great pos
sibilities. Why not, for instance,
enlarge it aud compel a man to wear
a ring for every marriage he has con
tracted. In some districts with some
men tne two thumbs would scarcely
be large enough to carry all the
rings.
The State seems to think that be
cause a white man might have es
caped punishment under the testi
mony that convicted Franklin of
murder, that tho negro should be
excused. It is hard to convict a
white man In this State on any kind
of testimony, but becr-.use of thi?
fact, we do not think that either jus-!
tlce or wisdom demands that negro j
criminals should be allowed to es-j
cape because whito men are not con-1
victed of crime. Rather than lower |
the standard of justice so as negroes j
can escape deserved punishment, lot |
us strive to raise It so as it will j
reach and punish th? white man I
irulRy of crime as well as the negro
criminal.
The orofits of the Riohiand county
dispenf-ery for the last year was
$19.5,932.62. This Indicates a very
large ,use of boozn, but not more than
was used in other parts of the State
where there are no dispensaries.
