THURSDAY, AGUST 28TH, 1919. Poor old Charleston! A dollar’s s dollar for •’ that Jost why is Cot»grr««. anyhow? / Barnwell's greatest need—a mod declaring John P. Grace the nominee of the Democratic party for Mayor of Charleston, what is perhaps the most flagrant, high-handed disregard of the principles of Democracy and the rights of the people on record has been per petrated by the faction in control and unless the wrong that apparently has been done is righted we may as well abandon the primary as an expression of the people’s choice. The Hibernian Hall, where the exe cutive committeo met, was crowded with supporters of Mr. Grace, while Mr. Hyde’s supporters, challengers and challenged voters and the reporters of newspapers were excluded therefrom. Mr. Grace’s witnesses were examined in the presence of each other, whereas those for Mr. Hyde were examined separately, and the Hyde^committee men were denied the right of cross examination. The Grace faction also refused to allow a stenographer to take the testimony, and further refused to grant the petition for a recount of the ballots. The whole proceedings were apparently a huge farce in which Mr. Hyde’s reported majority of one vote was overcome and the nomination given to Mr. Grace by a majority of 14, and the alleged nominee boasts in the Charleston American that the election las been “double-rivited and copper-fastened." If Mr. Gra^e has been legally elected he should have the nomination by all means, but it is almost inconceivabla that a majority of the people of Char leston, as rotten politically am thayc ;ty has been m the past, could elect to the high office of Mayor a man whose loy alty to his country was so gravely questioned after the entrance of the United Sirtr« in the World War. man who lauded the Kaiser and the submarine murderers and whs mads ight of the sinking of the Lusitania sad the reps o f Brlgnm and whsss utfcavial writings tr 'the f%nv4e»tu* K meric sa i so-called 1 arevw ad such i nature as In ranee the ganemssM ts deny it arrand-ciase mad prsetlegw* Mr Grace assy se may wot has# been • *7 oi aw4 >f he weee wot he cveiniwty te» k a gwee# way ad pMetag h*a layaft- I ty. hat id ha la the hmd ad a asww that { the majority ad the people ad Chartew- ton awat sa these Mayor, vhay shasdd he«« how by wl hvoeser hta cose m the «nvln Ip Mw ham I to (We kegS c from the private owners and turn these properties over to the railroad em ployees to manage and operate. In consideration of an investment of ap proximately $20,000,000,000 the Gov ernment is to appoint one-third’ of the directors, and the public-is to share in such savings in the c^st of operatiori as may remain after the employees have paid themselves what they think their services ought to be worth. The spirit in which the program is put forth may be, inferred from a state ment made by B. M. Jewell, Acting President of the Railroad Employees’ Department of the American Federa tion of Labor, in which he said that if President Wilson’s suggestion to Congress was carried out “we will tie up the railroads so tight that they will never run again if that legislation is passed.” • It might have been Trotz- ky himself speaking to a bourgeoisie that had offered mild and academic objections to being deS^oiled. Before any railroad plan can be wroodriletaoinshrdlucmfwypbgkqzxfifl worked out, one highly essential fact must be established—namely, wheth er the sovereign power of the United States is vested in Government and in the American people or whether it is vested in the railroad brotherhoods. For three years now the brother hoods have assumed that the .sover eign power was vested^in them, and Congress has provided them with ex cellent reasons for that- assumption. When the railroad employees in the critical period of the summer of 1915 demanded an eight-hour day and tbreatenei a general strike. President Wilson sriit a message to Congress in which ne urged that the eight-hour day be made a basis of work and wages, but he made four other pro- !». owe of which called for— Ab ameodmewt to tbs existing Fed- •o wh*rb gfoviJss for the medtatton. rownttotssp ww4 wHwicw- Iftoo of twrh cowtrweovuAeu ws the pres ewt by oddiwg to it a peovtssow that iw cwso the OMthodo of errwwMUMwiwtiow worn pewvtdod for Mmohl foil, a foil pgbfttc c*»*swfIgwttew of the msffts of every owrb dispose ahoohi bo tawtitotoil swd foaspAeSsd bofoso o etc the of hell* on away bo hatsfufly attempt*!

As a rewerd for its generosity the! country is to be taken by the throat and choked into submission if the most complicated issues that ^have ever confronted it are not settled <* forthwith. ' If there is any difference between that kind of arrogance and the arrogance of the German General- Staff in July, 1914, we should like to know what it is. The legislative branch of the United States Government long ago degener ated into a Congress of cowards. It may prove to be as subservient tq the brotherhoods as it has been to the t. Anti-Saloon League; but if the Amer ican people can be kept forever choked into a state of submission by private organizations taking over the func tions of Government, the United States might as well apply for the appoint ment of a receiver first as last.—New York World.

And when we consider that the people of this State have honored him with the high est position in their gift we cannot understand how f at this time he can find it right to announce that he will no longer trust the white people wiio are in charge of the government, and become an independent candidate for Congress. “We cannot believe that the mem bers of the State Democratic Execu tive Committee, however much they may'hate him personally or his poli tics, would fail to give him a fair deal if he went into the Democratic primary, but that even does not jus tify an independent movement, and we feel sure that the good people of that district will put -their seal of condemnation '‘hard dowm on such at tempt to divide the white people.” I WlMto 41 ugb« tbwt tltof will wff«wf tf Cwwgtwsw pVw*toto4W tw pw*4 ww wet tw wBwB Ibw bgvUtovtSwwl wwtawcwy wbisvt# ww oawqwwJ Iw fb§ 4mmmMw> Tito fW*'/wwd bgwSbwvEwwbl bw%w b**4 agwto w /*■•'/ tbwS wwww tlto **W»WWifVW «f IlMMW toWW( wltoi I 4wwatoiwi1y vwvwlaAMMHSfy ‘ b nmB wf MMwbaaltoW awBrf rbwM cwwtfwl is Iw bw cwwtwd wot ss 9w*gwrV tw rwitfWwB*, wwbwtf rww 4/ww tbw Raw w iwvv it •fttoB towp awtil #11 ttoEtotvy is as^fw Bswvit 4*fwtjww Yet tbey sfw wwt ptotttwg tbs it psi»» gvwss as s tw bw dtoroswwd iU Tbw tl« Re»«fd. tl« tow to twSfw w I»rw4i t **4 ■bmg «W «** If Wi — StW- l mgm » ■••• is#* tow Mwws «4 «w* gywtoto tw««wr >**•* *# «W gll Wv Swtt4tWS «* t*m**mm swS > >>i wmwwm m *•*#% fewgAsEsi bsws ss to tsw f •«*/*% tSwSM W It** t ItwwSrwS ttoSto/4 to* wwt mmm «ww» W * r 1 rttr^r? s ro fci wii l* FORD THE UNIVERSAL CAR Take !?ooil care of your Ford Car.
