THURSDAY. JUNE 24. 1920.
If our memory nerve* us, Governor
Cooper is the first chief executive
South Carolina has had since Governor
Heyward who has asked for renominution
without meeting opposition
in the Democratic primary. Governor
Cooper has made an ncceptnhle
head of the State government and it
Is certain that he is well established
in the esteem of the voters, otherwise
he would have had to go into
the campaign to defend himself, for
there are men in the State who would
not have hesitated to enter the race
against him had they not known he
could not be beaten.
William K. MeCombs, former chairman
of the Democratic national com.
inititee, seems to have accumulated a
robust grouch. In a statement given
to the public while ho was in Chicago
a night or two ago. MeCombs objects
to President Wilson calling himself a
leader of the Democratic party,
which, he says, is a "conception heretofore
never attained by any American."
Then follows a more or less
senseless sermon in which the New
Yorker talks about the president's
visit to Europe ns a self-appointed
emissary of the American people in
arranging the World war pence. It"
the president of the United States is
not to take a leading part in the
adoption of peace terms with any
country with which the republic is at
?ar. men no ought not to lie charged
with sueh duty by the constitution or
statutes. M cOombs is making himself
ridiculous. We suspect that his
chief interest is in the difference*
botxVeen England nnd Ireland and he
is taking advantage of the liberality
of the press associations to vent his
animosity for the president because
Mr. Wilson seems to think that
America can better afford to attend
to Iter own business than to inviti
war with Great Britain by pokln/
her proboscis into the internal affairs
of that kingdom.
Give the average white boy or
negro an automobile or other motor
vehicle and he will kick up enough
dust to make life, uncomfortable for
everybody living on the street
through which he runs the car and
itt the same time endanger the lives
of ptulostriuns.
With the close of the World war
the American people laid aside their
habits of thrift and economy and
entered upon an era of extravagance
unparalleled perhaps in the history of
the world, which accounts, as we see
it, for the high prices about which
there is so much complaint. This extravagance
was not conlined to the
ople of wealth, but wage earners.
W'th wages doubled or cptadrupled.
acquired the habits of the spendthrift.
The man unaccustomed to
new wealth began to spend unwisely
and without discretion and to develop
desires that an economical appreciation
of ills earning capacity would
not warrant. The dividing line between
luxuries and necessities has become
so dim that It is hardly perceptible.
The spending of money has almost
become a passion. Production
has not kept pace with the demand.
The result is inevitable. Prices will
continue high so ionic as this unwise
cxtravaicance continues. Instead of
cnmpluinliifc of high prices the people
should cease their extravagance.
A careful observer recently stated In
an interview that if the American
people would Increase production 10
per cent, and curtail buying 20 per
cent, normal times would be at hand.
As long ns the present condition of
things continues, there is likely to be
unrest and n tendency to look to the
>t< vernment for large appropriations
which cnn only be made from taxes.
The sensible and pntrlotle course to
pursue would seem to bo to hark
hack to the habits of thrift, economy
The Times is not one of the newspapers
which think that the success
of the Democratic party in the presl.
dentlnl election depends upon the
nomination of William 01. McAdoo.
Mr. McAdoo Is a strong man and perhaps
could be elected, but it would
be singular indeed If the party, with
it* millions of members, contained
. " ' ' / ' ,
only one man whose appeal for the
presidency woqld be heeded. Mr.
McAdoo has said that he does not
wish to have his name presented to
it he) San Francisco convention and his
wishes should be respected. If the
convention has the good, sense to
nominate Governor Cox, our opinion
is that he will malke quite as strong
candidate as Mr. McAdoo would have
made.
?. Bui.-'i'. uuin nic fi 4ie una senatorial
campaigns, which opened
Tuesday, will be abandoned before
the candidates complete the round of
counties. The people are too busy to
attend political meetings at which the
only thing at issue is whether one
man shall be turned out of office to
give the other man a job.
m m m
McAdoo to Ho Nominated.
In a telegram sent 'from Peublo,
Colo., from the train bearing Missouri
delegates to the Democratic national
convention. Burris A. Jenkins, Kansas
City clergyman and publisher, announced
that he had definitely decided
to place the name of William G.
McAdoo before the Democratic national
convention for the presidential
nomination.
