For lack of any apociflfe name it was <lubl>ed "The New A^JMisit'on/' Everybody has known about it, during .the last 75 years through the rei doubtable and belligerent Yorkville Enquirer. Talk about the little Calhoun Times; it is a cooing' dove by the side of The Enquirer. Omitting the brimstone in numerous sub-heads in a column and a half spiel about the State Convention, these are the top lines verbatim et Heriatim, et literatim: "Chairman Sapp In Out. Ruthless Ring of Politicians Hethroned At Their Waterloo. Dry and Honest Men Delighted. Election of Greenville Man As State Chairman seen Aa Sign of Overthrow of Rule by an Old Ring of Selfish Politicians Who Stopped at Nothing to Gain Ends." -Calhoun Times,. THE UNIVERSAL DRAFT Credit is due the American Legion for pushing its demand that, in the event, of war, there shall be a universal draft, aimed at money as well as men. There is no reason why contributions to a war chest should be placed . on a voluntary basis when people are being fo: red to" risk t heir lives in 'he trenches. The universal draft, in addition, would be a deterrent, discouraging he profiteers ami (lie grafters who invariably u<e war for purposes of personal enrichment. Every sane person hopes, of course 'hat -ome means can be discovered of preventing another catastrophic u! hrea k of host 11 it ies.

Please Specify The recent statement in Tho News and Courier that a few South Carolina weekly newspapers have earned a "modest fortune" calls for some .sort, of explanation, lest some poor brother be classed, ius Doctor Dreher so aptly says, as a "plate."

W. W. Ball proposes Col. I. H. Hunt of this city for one of these positions. "If it were known," says Doctor Hall, "that Newberry, would send a delegation to the general assembly resolved to vote for I. H.

One expressed the opinion that Kershaw or at least Camden, would go strong for Johnston, with Blease getting a large part of the older voters' support. Manning would not count much, and neither would Pearce of Columbia, unless he would get the vote of the merchants. Sloan was not counted upon to cut much ice and neither was Cooke. However, it was pointed out, that in the event Johnston and Blease are in the second or run-ofF primary, Blease's chances would be bettered decidedly, the theory that Charleston ?-counting Charleston?would prefer Mr. Blease to Mr. Johnston; not that Charleston loves Mr. Blease, but likes J him more than it does Mr. Johnston. J Three or four of the party engaged in the discussion, however, said1 they would vote for Mr. Blease. And that's that.?Yorkville Kmpiircr. 111 - MI i it; . 1 J ' 11 " " Capital Observations (Sp^Clftl C/orreapondnff ) Washington, May 29.?-Following the aottlement of the threatened strike of employes in automobile factories throughout the country and the adjustment of the wage dispute between the railroads ami the rail workers the prospect looked promising for industrial peace. A different phase is now apparent, and strikes are in progress in several states, some of them quite serious. It is held that such disturbances are evidence of better conditions far ms employment is concerned, but be that as it may, the public would be better pleased without such evidence. At Toledo, Ohio, in particular, there have been clashes resulting in a number of casualties between strikers and the authorities endeavoring to protect those who desired to work under conditions offered. li is understood that trouble was fomented largely by communists taking advantage of the confused situation, and steps are being taken to suppress the lawless elements. The labor question is causing the administration seI rious uneasiness. There is a meas! ure before congi'Osa known as the j Wagner bill which is being pressed .toward enactment and which holds out the prospect of relief, as believed by its advocates. It provides for the establishment of a national industrial adjustment board, but whether such a plan will work successfully is problematical, as it does not. provide for compulsory arbitration, and could not so undertake as j union labor would be uncompromisingly opposed to such a scheme. The present^ administration has gone much farther in yielding to organized lahor than ever before conceded. The national recovery act provided for "collective bargaining," and guaranteed workers the right t<> organize j without coercion. With that foothold union labor, hie been endeavoring to control *lw entire lahor^iehl by organizat ion. an.I (o force out workers | a no as!! not cooperate, threatening -:rike> to hamper industrial concerns; a Inch will not agree to employ only i union labor. It looks like sooner or later there may be a light to the finish between the two elements. * * + * The Lite rary bigest, a high grade weekly magazine, has in the past conducted several inquiries, ordinarily railed "straw votes," regarding various conditions and coming elections. Its forecasts have been remarkably accurate as proven by subsequent occurrencies. It is now conducting a poll upon the question as to whether t he respondent approves on the whole the first year of the Roosevelt administration, replies having been requested from I ">,000 representative men and women throughout the nation. The answers tabulated so far j have come from the north-eastern' part of the I'nitcd States, and have' ! ? en favorable to the administration! by a la-go majority, running about three two.

Representatives of the (XV circulated among them with offers of enlistment, and a majority accepted. The greater part of the rest are leaving for home upon ( government. transportation which] was tendered, so the demonstration j has about played out.

The Herald and News is pleased to add its endorsement of Colonel Hunt to that of the News ami Courier, which for years has advocated higher standards for our judiciary. It is not necessary for this newspaper to dwell on Colonel Hunt's fitness for this responsible and exacting position. He has been practicing law vvltb consistent success for many years. Frequently there have been assigned to him for determination cases by Federal judges, and' none of his decisions have ever been ! amended or reversed. Some- ten ! years a#o, he was appointed to conduct hearings ami decide the issues in an action ^brought in Saluda to prevent tho discharge of a bankrupt, i His opinion in this case was so thorough and clear that it was printed1 in the Federal Reporter. ; Just a few months ago Cohmel Hunt rendered his decision to Judge Watkins in the famous G. & F. railroad suit, which was very intricate since it involved the dealings of tho litigants in projects, amounting to many millions of dollars. Judge Watkins adopted tho report without amendment. This G. & F. case,' in developing which documents by the armful and ntuch tostimony by technicians were utilized, shows conclusively that Colonel Hunt has an incisive mind that goes to the heart of a problem and, having grasped it, tho faculty to set forth his findings and conclusions with such clarity as to impress the most learned jurists. It goes without saying that a judge I on the Federal bench, lacking the I time to go fully into a matter of | great importance and responsible for ! it.s just determination, would bo exItremely reluctant to accept as his own the opinion of another lawyer i unless that opinion were obviously right and just. Colonel Hunt has al>?? acted as special associate justice and a number of times as special referee by appointment of state judges. He is therefore unusually well equipped and trained to decide matters of law about which confusion has arisen in the inferior courts. Colonel Hunt is more than "an accomplished lawyer of high .character," to use Doctor Ball's phrase. He is a devoted citizen of the state, and has given liberally of his time and means to advance its interests. Of a modest and unselfish nature, he will not be elevated to the bench unless his friends shall bestir them selves to that end. Entertaining a high opinion of tho judiciary and holding vory positive ideas about how those who aspire to s&rve on it should conduct themselves when an election is pending, Colonel Hunt, we 'feel sure, would not make an active effort to obtain the honor. We happen to know that he holds firmly to the opinion that "the place should seek the, man." ^hi? is entirely proper since there could not then arise even the presumption of an obligation to any man or group. At this time, with the exception of the senator, it is not known who will constitute our delegation in the next general assembly, but, if they be men of discernment, we feel that Doctor Ball's suggestion will excite them to spiritesl effort, not, primarily, to reward a man whom they highly esteem but to place on the supreme bench a man whose achievements and ideals make sure he will servo the state with fidelity and I distinction.?Newberry Herald and News.
