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.

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—

force the isaue and bring about a rey-
olution by ultimatum. %
In the last three years the qulroad !
employees have received hundreds of
millions of dollars in wage increases
for which the general public is paying.
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

State wh*n the white people should

“We cannot see how Gov. Blease!
can square his present position with j
the many speeches he has made over
the State denouncing the independent
and the Haskellite and all that sort
of thing.
“We do rot belive he will find many
of his former supporters who will en
dorse his present position. 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.”
