Entered at the postolttce at Fort Mill. 8- C\, as mall matter of the second class fa ? g?? THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1922. (^harles A. Culberson, who bus represented Texas in the United States senate for many years, was pushed over the political precipice in the Democratic primary in the Lone Star State a *few .days ago. The wonder b that Senator Culberson did not realize that his day had passed in time .to save himself the disappointment of defeat. At onetime an active an outstanding figure in tlie senate, ill recent years Senator Culberson lias taken little part in the deliberations of the body. Thousands of well informed people had therefore all but forgotten that lie was still a , member of the senate, so seldom has his name appeared in the public prints in recent years. In the political turmoil and unrest of the day, the fact becomes more ( and more apparent that to retain the favor of the people public oflicials must show evidences of sym pathetic interest in the things ol vitul concern to their constituents; they must not only line up 011 the right side of the issues oi the day, but in addition they must do so in 1111 aggressive way, so 1 that there will be 110 mistaking f their attitude. Never before in the history of the country perl,...w, 1. jK - 1 -1 uupn iiuvu nit* people snown more intelligent discrimination in tinselection of their public officials < than they are showing just now. 1 In recent primaries in various < * sections of the country men whose names were a household word with their constituents a short time ago ami who were then considered secure in their official station have been pulled down to make way for other men whose ideas .of government are more it* accord with the times. Politics is a game of surprises in which many odd things occur. Way up in thi** Northwest a few days ago, Senator McCumber, one of tinRepublican big guns who is now chairman of the powerful finance committee of the senate, was beaten for reuomination by exrSnVi'lMlOU Vl'uwinp U'lin *??.!?. ? ? - .WW ?. MMiva ) Will/ UII1J 41 few months ago lost his office as chief executive of North Dakota in a recall election. Kicked down stairs from the governor's office to bounce back up stairs into a seat in the United States senate! Such is politics. Similar good fortune may be in store for ex-. Governot* Ferguson of Texas, who will go into the second primary in that State a few days hence . with EaHe B. Mayfield for the seat now held by Senator Culber son. Ferguson a few years ago was thrown out of the governorship by the Legislature. At the time many good men in Texas x thought the Legislature went too far, that the charges against the governor were not sufficiently serious to warrant such drastic action. These men have stuck to the ex-governor through thick and thin and meanwhile their rank$ seem to have been augmented by many thousands of recruits. . Ferguson is a man of ability. So also is his opponent, Mayfield, who is said to have the 1 Ku Klux organisation back of his candidacy. Either of the two will make a more acceptable senator than Culberson has made in recent years. Win. J. Pinkerton, famohs de i.- i ? xi-.i iciuvr, i? ijuuiru us saving tuui "the whipping post is the best remedy for crime." Perhaps it s. But the best urguuicnt against die whipping post as a legal pro cess of punishment is not based upon its effects upon criminals, its influence was brutalizing upon .he community in general. The revival of the whipping post would be a long step backward toward that state of society which sanctioned torture ami mutilation of human bodies as a supposed deterrrent upon persons inclined to break the laws. Crime never was so common as in the days when punishment was . ruel. The greatest sufferer in .lie event of the revival of the whipping post would not be the jf fonder who was lashed, but the community at large. Legalized .natality always has multiplied ji ime. The American Federation oi Labor has again refused to ail vo?ate recognition of the soviet government of Russia by the Cuited States. By an overw helming vote the .Cincinnati convention refused to place organized labor in the role of an apologist for bolshevisiu and 'its works. * This makes the third crushing defeat which the radicals have -unstained in their efforts to identify the American Federation of Labor with the catlse of bolshevisiu. Their defeat was largely ii personal triumph for Samuel Liompers. The veteran leader of tilt labor cause has steadfastly refused to give aid and coinfort to the bolshevists and hus not failed to use plain language >n denouncing their scemes and practices. There was a remarkable coineidc nee in the percentage columns Sunday morning of the American iind National leagues. Both the j St. Louis Browns and the St. Louis Cardinals were in first place, the New "York Yankees and the New York Giants in second place, and the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs in : bird place. ? | Two new men were lust week ( elected members of the board of j directors of the Standard Oil ' company, with a salary for each of something like $30,000 a year. One was Thomas J. Thompson, who began with the company 37 years ago as a day luborer. The < other was Edward ?J. Bullock, ? whose first work with the company was that of an office boy in j Knee breeches. Thompson devel- , oped into a genius as a salesman j and is now the company's gen- ' eial sales v manager. Bullock ' proved to be a keen buyer and ' became the company's director of purchases. All of which proves that ft doesn't make much differ- \ once these days where one starts i if he has the right kind of stuff 1 iii him. m m m < A Regular Statesman. Columbia State. The urgent importance of sending strong men to the Legisla- , ture has been repeatedly emphasized bv The State and it should bo emphasized in every newspaper in South Carolina. In the j matter of fiscal legislation a sound and well informed legislator exerts far more influence than the governor. Mr. K. T. Hughes of Marion, now chairman of the ways and means commit- i tee, has rendered the people ofs, Scuth Carolina service of the highest value and he should be rtturned to the house of representatives by the people of Mar- , ion. . . . He deserves to have a unanimous vote from Marion and in giving it to him Marion would confer an obligation on her 45 sister counties. Love may be blind, but it is seldom dumb.
