They are KroplnK in tlie dark for a leader, lie Ih not in sight. (Wo are speaking of state, not federal affairs.) t Governor Johnston is not fit to lead it. lie has tried. He lias failed Ills notions are fundamentally wrong. He does not understand the constitution. He thinks the legislature should give him appointments,- clothe him with power. He wants an Olln Johnston state. Still, because the people are sjjek of the behavior of the legislature, Johnston has a big following. People are following him because they see no one else. If the legislature turned the statu over to Johnston it would be. in worse plight (ban it is. Look at the legislature. It is running the state for the personal advantage and profit of legislators and their henchmen I*'veil If we grant that new offices created are needed, wliut could he better proof of 'King Rule" than the filling of offices from the legislature's own membership? This disgraceful practice is not new, it lias been growing steadily the last thirty years, hut it has come to u climax. Hundreds of thousands of people are sorry for Johnston and disgusted with tiie general assembly. Despite Johnston's silly, impossible notions of government, his child like Ignorance, many people trust him more than they do the general assembly. The spirit of the constitution, probably the letter of It, forbids holding of more than one office, but the legislatures even elect some of their members to the college trusteeships. They grab, they gobble the offices In sight; the payiug offices, of course; they make new offices and them umotig themselves. Kntirely right in denying power to the governor, that the people do not give him in the constitution, they violate tiie decent traditions and habits that once made government pretty goods in South Carolina by constantly adding to their own power. In these ways the legislatures, the present and a number of those preceding it. are and have been bold, unblushing, all but openly boastful of their policy of looking out tirst for t lionise! ves. In most of the counties the court house rings are arrogant, supreme. At this moment, wherever is a judge grown old or not in good health, the political lawyers who expect to return to the legislature are choosing his .successor from themselves! W? hear names mentioned and details of the cake cutting. Governor Johnston had his chance and has gone busted. It was the wish of The News and Courier to help him, hut he would have smashed the government into smithereens with his soldier government, his Cuius government. his- defiance of the courts, his disruption of highway work, his grand plays that have probably cost the people a million dollars. We must have a political Revolution. We must find a man not only honest, but brave, able, informed, unafraid of defeat, unselfish, one who does not give a continental for himself. to lead it That man is somewhere in South Carolina. He must come forward, he must lie drafted, or? We will have worse than Carpetbag and Scalawag government. Worse because it will rest on the corruption of the people themselves.?News and Courier, June 0. STERILIZATION LAW PUT INTO EFFECT Columbia.
