The disagreement between~ Governor Blease and Chief Jus tice Jones is very unfortunate indeed, but in our opinion it wil] finally result in good to the tax payers, for it should have tle effect of putting a stop to the practice of appointing extra judges whenever the members of the Bar of a county conclude to have a special term. The general assembly, to meet the demands of the legal fraternity, provided within the past few~ ye-~ars five additional circuits. This required five additional judges, and yet, the demand for special terms with extra judges does not lessen; there should be a limit to this extraordinary ex pense, and, unless a check~ is made the special court evil will continue to grow. Whether Gov ernor Blease has grone about this~ business right or not we are un able to say, but it looks to us that his purpose is to protect the taxpayers from this increasing tiendency to make raids upon the public treasury- -tryintg to dIrive the hogs from" the trough. The law makes provision: for theappointmuentof special judges. it gives to the supreme court the right to recommend when there are no regular judgesdisengaged, but in the event there are judges disengaged the law also provides. the assignment shall be n~ow these; as we understand the situ ation which h:ss brought about the unfortunate condition at Horry, Judge Niugh was the regular judge to hold that cot. he was incapacitated, the gov ernor was notifled, whereupon he informed the Chief .JustICe o .,dge Klugh's condition. aiu asked that one of the diseng~aged judges, Copes or Mlemmiinger, be assigned to Horry, the Chief Jus tice at the request of the Hlorry B,- ecommended Mlr.

Right here is where ,lt! the Chief Justice is to blame for i the present condition: had he, jli when the governor informed him that Judges Copes and Mem-!e minger were disengaged, told lif the governor that Judge Copes 10' would hold the Richland court, |ti and that Judge Memminger was jtl sick, there is -no doubt in ourn mind, the governor would have it ~signed the commission for Mr. 0o Quattlebaum, but Judge Jonesic stnigupon his dignity pre- S] ferred to keep his own counsel,| with the result,the innocent peo- fC pie of Hiorry are the sufferers. r Marion is in the same circuit as B Horry, and for this week it seems 1 Judgre Aldrich is disengaged: the s5t Chief Justice has assigned Judge ti Aldrich to hold that court as a ai substitute for Judge Klugh show-I ? ing the governor is right in hisjr ~contention, that disengaged Ir judges must hold these courts in ol preference to extra judges, and - ~whyr The regular judges are tr paid an annual salary, while the a extra judges are paid ten dollars t a day, but not one cent of this a pay is. taken from the regular b; slary of the judge whose place Jt: is being tilled. a Had Chief Justice Jones con-1 ta sidered tit welfare of the people w of Horry and imparted to the w overnor his information relat- ol ing to Judge Memminger's phyvs- is ical condition, the whole trouble I3 would have been avoided, and it. a~ would have left no ground to mis. tr judge the ;--:-tives of either of P1 these distinguished gentlemen.1 There are some who think the ta Chief Justice unfriendly to the .W Chief E'xecutive. and that he is is not disposed to give atny aid to i his administration.

There is now bemng mailed out t-> the members of the general assembly. postal cards from. those interested in the comnmis-1 sioni form of government plan in' 'Charleston. asking for expres sions in regard to passing over, the governor's veto the Act passed at the recent session. This seems to us a very unusual proceedure, and we hardly think that the members of the assem bly shoul d commit themselves in1 advance. When the legislature convenes next year, the gov ernor will accompany his veto with- the reasons for his veto. therefore. it will then be time l enough for those who arei 'called upon to vote to make up~l their minds as to the merits of the governor's refusal to sign the Act. We regarded the adoption of the Act at the time it was up for 1 consideration in the general as sembly local in its nature, simply jiving to those cities desiring to come under this form of govern ment the privilege to so vote,andl therefore did not oppose it, but the fact of the Chief Executiv e declining to sanction it. should at least cause the general assem bly to wait until it has ascer taned his reasons. If it is sim.* ply a personal opposition to such. a form of government the Act will in all probability be passed over the veto, but if the governor assigns suIch reasons as to ap~peal to the better judgment of the a. sembly then his veto will be sus tained. Therefore we say thet postal card campaign from Charleston is premature and no member of the body should comn mit himself one way or another. I] We do not believe in a snap judg-t ment. and we also think it a bad t precedent to commit the legisla-c ture in advance on matters whicha aeto comet before it a year later. i Governor Woodrow Wilson of New .Jersey has accepted anint vitationi to address the StateI Press Association which con venes in Columbia this cominr May.
