THE ITEM IS WRONG. The Sumter Item is opposed to the separate box provision sug gested to settle the question of Prohibition or no Prohibition in the primary, and it regards such a suggestion a subterfuge for fence-straddlers to shirk raking known wh-re they stand on the liquor issue. We concede that Prohibition is an issue. and it will be an issue even if the Pro hibitionists succeed in securing State-wide Prohibition legisla tion at the same time; in our opinion to divorce the question from the personnal would be in the interest of securing more efficient men to serve in our leg islatQre. Experience has proven that when men are selected through an issue, the place was not regarded, and the result was, a drifwood legis ture, even disgusting to the leader which brought on such a condition, and whenever oppor tunity afforded it he spoke dis paragingly of his "driftwood" crowd.7 It'would be indeed a poor ex case of a man who would be afraid to declare his personal views -on- Prohibition or any other question, but while hisI *ikwgmay be in accord with the miority on.one particular mat- i tsri and that matter being an up permost thought, he may differ' from on all. other matters, and perhaps matters of more vital; consequence, yet because he de clares himself on the one ques tion, the other questions are to bedcarde d according to some of-or friends who wonld have our representatives chosen upon the question of Prohibition. - - If -the State executive com-? mittee provides for a separate box, or the printing of the ques- I tion to be answered upon the < balflot to be voted in the pri mary, the voters can v-ote for or. against Prohibition, and at the same time take their choice ofj T I 'PHONE1 the candidates who ar-. b-fore them. but i they a required to vte for nen upot Anl issue, they do not have the privdege of exercisu.g that Democratic prin cipal of selection. but inust vote on the question. although they would not care to vote for the! men professing to represent that, issue, and because of such a con dition likely to arise the separ ate box or the question on the ba'dot may be had without any fence-straddling or deception Under the party rules a candi date is pledged to abide the re sult. and support the action of the primary, and no honorable man will take this pledge and go Sback upon it, matters not how much he personally differs with the action of the majority. THE TiMEs editor is, and has always been opposed to Prohi bition. he favors Local Option. that is to say, he favors letting the people choose a system of I liquor regulation to suit them- I selves. and when they have done; this, he accepts the result as the conviction of the majority, whether that majority is in ac cord with him or not. There fore, if the question was put in our primary aside from the per sonnel of a candidate, the ques tion alone would be the uide to govern, until another election brings it up again. And while pronounced against Prohibition,1 and the majority in the primary , recorded its wishes for Prohibi tion, we would, without feelin,, that be wavered one iota, regard the result as a positive . instruction from those be would represent, and to do otherwise, would in his opinion, be a breach: of good faith. UNCLE JOE DISFIGURED BUT STILL MN Te THE RING. The lower house of congress has had one of the greatest par limentary battles known to Amer ican politics. For days there was an effort made to wrest from Speaker Cannon the privilege of being a member of the commit tee on rules, and the Democratst wanted to fire him out of thejt speakership. The Republicans are divided into hostile camps, and by an alliance with the Dem ocrats the insurgent element suc ceeded in ousting Cannon from,, the committee on rules, but wben1) it came to a question of retainti ing Cannon as Speaker the two , wings of the Republican party , :ame together and retained the "Old Man." The loss of chairmanship of the I 30mmittee on rules is quite a 10 blow to the speaker, but it did I 2ot faze him, and those whoK3 lied themselves with the Dem ^crats will have to do some satis- I I ~actory explaining to their con- li ~tituents to get back to congress,jt :or if there is anything that hasi p rept the Republican party int - <! -- .JII, con:rol it is its reg.uarity inma loylty, letting nothing come be tween it to divide them. Sowhen the congressional elections come on the "Insurgents" will find the "Regulars" against them: just as would beif the Democrats in South Carolina should there be any attempt to act independ ent of the party's mandates. The associated press dispatches thus describes the scenes: Washington. March 19.-Joseph. G. r'"o' of Daville. 1.. is still Speak er of the House of Representatires, but he lost today the ancient prestige and weapon of that office when the allied Republican insurgents an d Democrat. took from him not oniv the chairman ship of. but even membership in. the sll-powerful committee on rules,. the -hief assest in his stock of power. "Amid scenes of wildest disorder, for the like of which one must go back to the exciting days just prior to the civil war-perhaps even those times might -o duplicate it-the veteran Speaker. lmost -4 years old, stood erect and letiant, his head -bloodied but unbow d." And at the end, when a big Texan Democrat accepted the Speaker's dar ng challenge and introduced a reSolU ion to fling him out of the Speaker hip, the Republicans, regulars and nsurgents, with few exceptions, ral ied with almost unbroken front. and :ave him a vote which almost offset ,he "repudiation of Cannonism.' " Champ Clark, the Democratic eader, regards the changing >f the committee on rules a Dem >cratic victory and that it augers vell for the Democratic pros pects this fall and for the presi lential election in 1912. He says, .ad the insurgents stood bY the Democrats to declare t." chair vacant and elect a Speaker. Can aonism would have been dead. But the insurgents did not stand )y the Democrats. not even Nor -is, the leader. The fact is Nor -is and his crowd had a grouch Lgainst the Speaker, and they ised the Democrats as long as bey needed them, and wnen hey accomplish their purpose, hey gave Champ Clark and his )emocratic chumps to under tand that they must go away >ak-and sit down. Cannonism is Republicanism, nd it is all balderdash in Champ "lark to set up the claim that he country is going to give up he Republican party, it is more ikely that it will relegate those rho entered into the scheme to eprive "Uncle Joe" of a power o govern congress. We have o faith in the boastful claims of Ir. Clark, because we do not be eve the Democratic party as ow being led could keep an ad Lutage, even if tbey had one. Eugene N. Foss, former Dem crat. has been elected to Con ress as a Republican from [aassachusetts, to fill the unex ired term of the late Wilijam C. overing. The election of Foss regarded an indication of the ~mper of the people towards the resent Republican administra on IL,- E'V] ~ pearin so: coming m< ~ you are n SSpring Su -our splend A new Eastel '4 and correct Spring Hats f The best of HANI U ~t:re~rM hat &~ it stated hat Hon. P. L. Iardin of Chester. wilI not consent for his nameo to be used for the otfice of Lieutent-Governor. We are sat istied that it is his extreme mod: estv that prompts this decision. Now if our primary iules were not as they are this gentleman could be tendered the nomination without his seeking it. and if so tendered. we believe he would ac cept. and the State would be the gainer thereby. The Greenwood grand jnry brings a severe indictment a gainst all of the law offiecrs of that county. It charges that law lessness is the order, and that it is due largely to the illicit sale of liquor and the carrying of concealed weapons which is pro hibited by law. and that the law is nit enforced. They also com plain of the increase in taxation and give as their opinion that the non-enforcement of the laws is largely responsible for this condition. Greenwood is a red hot prohibition county and it is rather a surprise to us that such a complaint should come from that source. Aaron Prioleau the very black would -be Congressman. who is workinz the committee on elec tions in Washington, ostensibly for the seat occupied by Con gressman George S. Legare, is still hanging around the halls of congress waiting for the commit tee to allow him the usual sand wich given to contestants, and especially to the Coons of the South in payment for corraling the cattle into the National con vention Lo be bartered and sold like sheep in the stock market. Prioleau has been at this business so long that he has graduated with post-graduate honors, and he is now doing his own contest ing instead of paying out to the Washington lawyer-grafters who live upon these frauds that are perpetrated on the government after each election. It does seem that the Republicans would get tired of the imposition and when such cattle as Prioleau present themselves they would instruct the door-keeper to kick them out. The Columbia Record of last Thursday criticises Governor An sel for pardoning Mrs. Carson, the woman who spent many years in the penitentiary for being an acce-tsory to the murder of her husband, and says that this case together with that of Dr. Lee of Darlington for the murder of his father, wipes away the governor's! excellent record made with re gard to the use of his pardoning power. There is no doubt the two cases referred to by our contem porary were deserv:ng of death, but they were not given the death penalty. and by thus saving their E made great .The rule thu mnething new o >re firmly esti .ot in need of its, allow us tc Lid line of ats and Hia - Tie and Hat every Man blocks in Stiff and Soft I rom the best $1.50, $2.00, $ Exclusive IN 25c., S0c.,' Gloves in the new shad ILKR live ;-tyh an opportuni:7 to repent of their sin.
