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 *??.!?.

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.

"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.

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.

And the mark isn't worth anything.
