' , , , I THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 1922. 1 Propaganda as News. , Says a Columbia "special:" "A < superintendent of the peniteutiary is j to be elected, the term of office ex- j pirlng with 1923. tol. A. K. Sanders, , the present superintendent, will be a < candidate for reelection and his effi- , cient administration will probably re- , suit in his election, it is said."'. Said by whom, and with what assurance? ] While The Times would not under- j take ^to offer expert testimony either j for or against Col. Sanders "efficient" j management of the State penitenti- , ary, it is confident it knows quite as , much about his way of running the , institution as the Columbia correspondent who colors his "specials" to coincide with what he thinks "spe- ( cials" ought to be?a form of propaornn/U A? 4U.. .xf gauua iu |ii umuiv Hit' iiiicioom ?i somebody he wishes to see elected to oOice or to boost appropriations bV the Legislature lor ^he city of Columbia. If we may express an opinion of the management of the . penitentiary by Col. Sanders, It is that his record, for the last two years especially, does not altogether bear out the claim for efficiency. And we might go a step further und voice the opintfcu of many people throughout the .State who think the Legislature at ita next session will fail to do what , it should do unless a new head of the institution is chosen. There need be no effort to hide the fucts. They can't be hidden. There has been a deal of criticism of the management of ihe penitentiary in the last tew months. Col. Sanders is an excellent citizen, a flue man, but this fact within itself is not sufficient to make him a desirable superintendent of the penitentiary, Perhaps one would go too far to blume Col. Sanders for the loss to the State of muny thousands . of dollars us the result of the speculative holding of hundreds of bales v of cotton raised on the State farms, but at best he wa3 partially responsible for the mistake. Another serious mistake tor which Col. Sanders Is more directly responsible wus the condition in the peniteutiary which was brought about by following the unwise recommendations of the meddlesome hoard of Public Welfare, to whose activity may be traced the serious outbreak among the prisoners, some months ugo when it becam.necessary to call in - outside assistance to quell the disturbance. South Carolina needs as superintendent 01 the penitentiary a man who will manage the institution in a businesslike way and treat the prisoners humane' * ly, hut at the same time gixe them to UM<lABnL. M J AS - - uuhoiomuu uiai uiey are not distinguished guests of the State and will not be coddled. Such a man will be alow to follow much of the advice ot the Board of Public Welfare. But to return to one point we had in mind, newspapers that pay for such"Columbia "specials" as we have quoted of course have a right to spend -their money In that way, but in doing so they ought to let their readers know that the "specials" are* propaganda . andtaot news. "We passed a little shrimp on the street the other day. -We spoke, but it dawned on us after we passed on that the shrimp had not spoken."

Or it may be he mistook' yon lor victim of his rpnt post duo, ot- i tome acquaintance he had stuck andclaimed is was a case of luck when with a pair of loaded dice he robbed him; let that suffice for reasons why some men don't speak as they pass by. V Mottle* Prospects.

There Is the proe[>ect, too, of notable gains for the Democrat* In the senate elections. Ln Indiana Governor Ralston, we read, las an excellent chance of defeating Bererldge, as has Governor Ferris to last Senator Townsend in Michiganrhe New York State Democracy is making a strenuous effort to beat Senator Calder with more than an ?ven prospect of success. Senator Frellnghuysen apparently is on the road to the dump heap in New Jersey. out in Massachusetts It looks as it Lodge w.Ll be reelected, since the Democrats failed to nominate Sherman L. Whipple as his opponent. Senator Hitchcock is almost certain lo be reelected in Nebraska and there is little hope among the JRepublleans of the success of their candidate ugainst Senator Reed in Missouri. Senator Prance is marked for defeat n Maryland and will be succeeded by a Democrat. The Republicans are claiming they will win the seat now held by Senator King of Utah, but the Democratic leaders say they are merely whistling to keep up their courage. In North Dakota there is in even chance of the Democratic candidate beating Governor Frazer, Non-Partizan, who captured the Republican nomination. But the most important gains for- the Democrats 111 the whole country are promised in Ohio, Presdent Harding's home State, which he carried by 400,000 two years ago. The plea put up out there to "stand by the president" apparently lias fallen on deaf ears. Senutor Pomerene. the Democrats cluiiu, is as good as reelected, and with him will be elected a Democratic governor and a dozen Democratic congressmen to displace Republican numbers," it also is claimed. Next Tuesday secms to hold good things in store Tor the people- lu 1020 Harding was elected by 7 million majority. Could lie get a majority of even one today? Too Much -Football. A matter which has recently received the attention or a mw.i.-c-r oi South Carolina newspapers is the football craze which has lai'cn possession of many public schools, in the State, and at least one of thtae newspapers, alarmed at the demoralization brought by the game to its local school, is urging the legislature 10 take note 61 the condition, which it says is more or less general, at its next session by pushing an act providing a maximum number of games .n which any State aided school may participate and making the law read that any school violating the provis-) ions of the act automatically deprives itself of any financial assistance from the -State treasury.

The people want their children educated, not on the subject of "punts," "forward passes'* and all. that aprt of thing, but in history, mathematics, the English language, and geography, knowledge" of which .will help the children overcome .the struggles that are before them. Many taxpayers are getting tired of the football craze. The thing is being overdone, and they know it, as does everybody else who considers an education, worth while. The trustees of the pubIk* schools are in position to "Afford relief from too much football by informing the teachers who allow more of the game than reason dictates that there must be less of it or the names of the offending teachers will be dropped from the schools' payrolls. One of the needs of the day is less football. If you contemplate buying a Piano, Phonograph or New Home Sewing Machine it will pay you well to get L. J. Massey's prices and get posted.
