Too many of us spend our time looking for something that

Faith in what we can do and in the just results that will follow

i FOR LAW AND ORDER ?

Governor McLeod staands for law and order as stated in
his inaugural address. He promised this when he ran for the
office. His life record will guarantee the carrying out of this attitude
on his spart. He has already said thnf h*> will onfr\r/?n fVin
laws of the state to the best of his ability and insofar as in his
power lies.
In the course of his message ^to the people of the state, he
mentioned many important things that concern our State as it is
today, but there were none more important than the reference tc
the enforcement of law and order. Without such enforcement
from the highest executive officer, there would be a slackness in
every office held in the State, from that of sheriffs of the counties
down to the constables and town marshals.
This whole country will admire the action taken by Governoi
Parker, of Louisiana, In trying to find the murderers of Wati
Daniel and Tom Richard, and who, at the same time administer*
?
ea a Hogging upon the aged father of Daniel and one other. The
investigation which is now going on has uncovereed a state ot
affairs that cannot Joe allowed to go on for very long in any section,
or community of this country. It is impossible. The people
many stand for it in a modified degree in the peaceful communities
where mob law has been unknown, but they will rise in their
might at last, no matter how black are the characters of tbosc
who are flogged and made to move on. The reason why they
will not stand for it is because it is contrary to law. One viola

tion of the law is as bad as another, only organized violation is
worse- '' MmMium.
There is no remedy in such things. It is not the lawful
way (to go about it. As we have often said such things lead to
others and still others of ever increasing wrongfulness, and the
result is civil war.
Mr. McLeod will not have anything to do except to watch
in order to find the places where he will put into effect his policy
of strict law enforcement. In doing this he should not single out
any particular kind of violation of the laws, but should make his
ellorts apply generally.
As soon as he gets well settled in his office; as soon as he
shows that he will insist on it that the officers of the law do
their duty, he will find the great majority of these running over
themselves to close up their fences and get their houses in order.
Those who will not take the pains of showing their attitude by
their conduct will have to get attention.
The ideal state of any community is to be found when each
and every citizen is law abiding so that no regulation of their
conduct would be needed. That time has never come in this
country. Let us hope that it will come at some future day.
Things which the new governor will do and things which he
can cause other officers of the law to do will tend in that direction
in our opinion.

"Prostituting Public Service in the South"
Under the above caption, Lynn Haines, the very able editor
of the Searchlight, a Washington, D. C., publication in the
interest of good government, gives a four-page review of the
case or (J. tfascom Slemp, retired Republican^ Congressman from
the Ninth District of Virginia involved in the charges of the
sale of public patronage in the South*.
Representative Slemp, to whom is given the titles M. C., N.
C., D. C. P. by the Searchlight with the explanation that M. C.
might stand for Member of Congress or Manipulator of Conventions,
N. C., for National Committeeman Republican?and D. C.
P., if such titles were given politicians, to imply Distributor and
Collector of and for Patronage.
Mr. Haines' article reproduced all of the most important
letters written by Congressman Slemp or his secretary, containing
internal evidence of the traffic in public offices, which letters
were read into the Record by Congressman Harrison, of
Virginia, who first made an expose of the whole matter. In
addition, Congressman Harrison introduced the cancelled checks
referred to in the correspondence.
Mr. Haines has condensed the record of this alleged traffic in
public offices, which he says in one place might be called "political
bootlegging" and in another, "office salesmanship/'
While the Slemp expose has a direct bearing on the political
conditions in the state of Virginia, and the ninth district therein,
which the Democrats have just rested from Slemp and his
Republican following under the brilliant leadership of Harry
F. Byrd, Democratic State chairman, the application of the lesr,
son is nation-wide.
Representative Slemp is not only the most important Republican
in the South, ranking even above Tolbert of South Carolina,
Republican National Committeeman, who also has been under
charges of trafficing in office and whose appointment as United
States marshal is now being held up on the charge that he has
been convicted of a crime.
There has been evidence enough to justify the belief at least
that the alleged barter .and sale of public office under this Republican
administration is ndt confined to any two states of the
South. Upon the assumption that it may be general in the South
and that the average district will yield a political income of -10,000
a year, Mr. Haines figures out that the Republican bosses
or the Republican committeemen, assuming that the money was
turned into the committees, would realize $1,040,000 a year. .
The revival of the "spoils" system of appointments under
President .Harding might account, perhaps, in a measure for the
alleged trafficking in offices by Southern Republican leaders, but
inasmuch as the revival of the "spoils" system is applicable to
the whole country at large it would naturally follow that the alleged
trafficking in offices under this Republican regime wouldn't
be confined to any section any more than to any state.
