We regret that our space does uot permit the publication of Gov ernor Ellerbe’* inaugural address. It was striking in many respects- While the governor touched upon only three general subjects—taxa tion along with industrial devel opment, education and the dis- penttary—still what he suid leaves no doubt in the minds of the peo ple concerning his courne as chief executive. He said in beginning: “L’utrarnrneled ty obligations or pledges inconsistent with the wel fare of the people, it shall be my highest ambition to discharge my duties faithfully and impartially. The solemn oath of office which 1 have just taken binds me to no po litical party or faction, but it does bind ice to preserve, to protect, and to defend both the constitution of this State and of the United Slates. * * * “To administer faithfully the laws; to lighten by all worthy means the burden of taxation ; to develop the resources of the State; to protect the industries of her citizens ; to encourage immigration of the right sort; to foster our in stitutions of learning, both church and State ; to enhance the efficien cy of our public schools ; to sus tain our penal and charitable and other institutions-shall he my earnest desire and unalterable pur pose.” This might well be considered the sum and substance of the ad dress. Upon the question of taxation he said in part : “To secure the best government at the least expense to the people, should be the constant aim of every legislator. It is the part of a statesman to seek to lighten the burden of taxation when this can be done without detriment to the public interest ; but to cripple or destroy institutions established for the benefit of the people merely to reduce the tax rate, is neither Vvise nor statesmanlike. To pur sue the one course is to advance ; to pursue the other is to retrograde. It shall be my policy, then, to en deavor to increase, in every legiti mate way, our taxable property.” He spoke of the splendid advan tages offered by the South for the investment of capital ; of her salu brious climate, her fertile soil, her mineral w-ealth, her magnificent forests, her splendid water power, and, above all perhaps, her pecu liarly favorable position to produce materials suitable for manufactur ing purposes. “We ought,” using his own words, “to inspire in the outside world the confidence that legitimate investments made in South Carolina shall not be dis turbed by unjust legislation, and, at thu same time, we should pro tect and encourage industries al ready established. If we rigidly pursue this policy during the next decade, we shall be able to double the material wealth of the State, and thereby to reduce the rate of taxation by increasing our taxable property.” With reference to the dispen sary law the governor’s position is plain as his concluding words upon that subject will show. Here they »re : “I believe the dispensary comes nearer to the solution of the liquor problem than any other scheme yet proposed by man. It may be necessary to modify the law, hut constant changes are to be deplor ed. The dispensers should be should be men whose honesty can not be reasonably questioned, and who should hold their places om account of fitness and not for po litical reasons. An institution is known by its fruitsand it is simply a question whether prohibition or the dispensary system will do most to diminish drunkenness and its accompanying ills. Upon moral grounds, and only upon moral grounds, the dispensary must stand or fall. The profit feature is of secondary consideration!” He takes high ground, but many taking the same high ground disa gree with him. Without doubt, the dispensary law is better than the old license law if properly en forced, and going still further we believe prohibition is better than the dispensary law if properly en forced. Be that as it may, the dis pensary law is on our statute books, and as long as it remains there, however much opposition there may be to it, its enforcement if the most important question. But more of this, and a little con cerning his remarks on education, at another time. Thnre was no session of the General Assembly yssterday. It was Robert E. Lee’s birthday. Mr. Fred 8.
