rKaiding President's Appointing rowEditorial The State. Of immediate and acute inter st to the people of South Carolina, is the language of a part of rh second . clause of the second section of Article I II of the constitution of the l"nited States, relating to (he powers and duties the president, as follows: m and he shall nominat and r by and with the advice and consent of p the senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the supreme court, and all ether c-fEcers of the Unit-.d States w whose appointments are not herein otherwise, provided for, and A which shall be established by law. Herein the ^rcsid/nt is *n-en the ? ^ nim ic imnospd the k pi>V\Cl Cv-LLU UUVJLi U1U1 w ?? - _ duty of "nominating" to the senate and "appointing'' various judges, V commissioners, collectors of revenue, marshals and district attorneys. W It is not necessary to say to any man of common intelligence that the I power of "nominating" and "appointf ing" these officers is not given to "the ' senate/' much the less is it given to one senator, or the two senators of a Scate. i Collectors, district attorneys and marshals are not officers of South Carolina. They are officers of the United States. It is merely accidental that the territory of South Carolina ! and a certain federal district are co | incident. r However there may have grown up, as an incident to party government, a thecry and practice of "senatorial courtesy" whereby it is attempted to deprive the president of his power of nomination and appointment, it has [foundation in neither law nor reason. In more than one State and in more than one administration the attempt (sometimes successful) to rob the president of his powers by a combi .nation, which might better be called V conspiracy, of senators has reached w the proportions of a scandal. There was no excuse for the attempt of the i late Senator Roscoe Conkling and "Me ? Too" Piatt to run roughshod over President Garfield and nullify 'his power of appointing officers of the United States in New York. There is ^ less in a time when the senate, by the adoption of the seventeenth W" amendment, has been taught its retn the ueoDle for Senator > Of W r A O'Gorman, Senator Smith, Senator Tillman, or any other senator,to undertake to "nominate" to President Wilson one of their friends and bully him with the threat that unless fte "nominates" that one hack :o the senate, he will see that the senate r?k jects and repudiates such choice of an " officer as the president may himself exercise. The limitation "by and with th* advice and consent of the senate'' is "wise and purposeful. It was placed in the constitution, that the senate mignr reject ine appuiinmem m ?. man proved to be unworthy, that the senate might correct a mistake of the t \ president, but (mark the order of the words) it was provided, first, fhat the president should "nominate'' and then that the senate should advise as to the acceptance of the nomination. Shall the order be reversed? Shall a senatorial conspiracy calling itself "courtesy" appropriate the substance of the appointing power and l^ave the president the shadow?the senate, Tnoontima run<r rpsnfinsihilifv fnr bad appointments?

I f , for Archbald, nominated judge by ; Taft. and appointed by him "by and ! with the advice and consent of the; . senate," and a few months lat r im! 'peached; and equally far would they i I _ ' ; be from relieving Woodrow Wilson of | responsibility for a vicious district at-; ! (ornev or marshal, howev r they might j have dictated his appointment. Yet, i ! nnfairiv onri hv u mpthnd evasive. im- I i lawful and aiming at the destruction of the spirit of the constitution, efj forts proceed now to embarrass and hamper the executive in order that senators may appropriate to themI ! selves and their friends the patronage : and leave the executive to answer for their good or bad behavior. But the efforts persist. The president is defied. "Tb*s appointment belongs to me; you shall appoint this man or that or you shall appoint none" declares, not "the senate" but a senator, with the insolently add^ word that "we'll see to it that 'senatorial courtesy' rebuffs and humiliates you unless you toe the mark as I draw it." And what is the fate of popular | government? Where do the people I "come in?" A dozen excellent men may wish to be collector of internal ; revenue. Shall they seek appo?*"' >ont j from the president? What is the ?se | when senators, not satisfied with their i own offices and sala^es, proscribe all j save their personal favorites? i The people of South Carolina did j noc know when they elected senators that they were voting for marshals, * * j A j COneClOrS anu yusuiictsLCi a?iucj i j thought that their president would j jattend to the filling of these offices. Nor would they be pleased in the event of the election of a senator unfriendly to the democrat in the White House, that he be allowed to scuttle the national demo<iTatic administration. Furthermore, these senators may take warning that some hundreds of active and strong democrats in South ! thrmcnnHs: nf j L/di isiiuci- aau ? - . I friends resent the fact that senators have cut them off from urging their claims upon the president. These would have asked nothing more than | j a fair field before the president, car! rying to him their indorsements, and this fair field they can't get because their senators sha-ke the bludgeon of "senatorial courtesy" before th? president's eyes with one hand and shove them back with the other. Meanwhile a wretched squabble makes a sovereign commonwealth ridiculous. Eirhpr trp "hold-un'* of the nresi dent by the senate for the sake of the selfish and private <mds of individual senators at the cost of delay in the i administration of justice and disgracful confusion in the business of government will cease, or the people j of the United States will find a way at {the polls to restore to the seriate a | correct srrse of its constitutional i limitations about them. | A Gentle and Effective Laxative.

Strong, vigorous men and women liardly ever catch cold; it's only when the system is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get a footv J U.U1U. Now isn't it reasonable that the right way to cure a cough is to build up your strength again? Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Durham, N. C., says: "I took Vinol for a i chronic cough which had lasted two years, and the cough not only disappeared, but it built up my strength ( ! as well." The reason Vinol is so efficacious in such cases is because it contains in a I delicious concentrated form all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, with tonic, blood-building Iron added. Chronic coughs and colds yield to Yinol because it builds up the weakened, run-down system. You can get your money back any time if Yinol does not do all we say. P. S.
