CIIABLFHTOYH ATTITUDE TU LAY;.
OIIHF/KVAM'E. <
Charleston IIUK some moHt peculiar view? UH to
law enforcement. The idea seems to prevail there
that what is good law for any other community of
South Carolina la poor law for the "City hy thc
Sea." The wonder of it ia that Charleston so un
blushingly admits that she is not obeying the law;
that she knows it und that she will not try to obey
any law which does not suit the "peculiar condi
tions" down there. The city does not stop and
think that what conditions there arc in Charleston
have been caused by the open and tlugrant viola
tion of law which vlolution ts with the knowledge
and consent or the officials whose sworn duty lt is
to enforce them. Hail there been a greater res
pect for law there in the past thc community would
liv now have learned nome ot the lessons of obed
ience to law because it is law and not because lt
is not some legislative act made to suit tho peculiar
fancies of the people down there.
The most open and ill advised announcement
made yet of Ute intention of tba city authorities to
indulge the proclivities of the citizens there to dis
obey all law. is contained in an open, shall we say.
proclamation, made in the Charleston Evening
I'OBt. by Mayor Grace, lie states thut Governor
Manning has called his attention to "alleged vio
lation of law In this city." After enumerating some
of the unlawful rules which he as mayor has pro
mulgated, admit cd by him to be in violation of the
law. Mayor Grace states: 'Governor Manning is
by no means satisfied with nor does lie accept the
rules above laid down as u full compliance with his
ideas of law enforcement." We shou'd say not.
It. therefore, Beems that as Mayor Grace is not
going to do anything to secure law enforcement in
Charleston that Governor Manning will be forced
to step in and see that the laws of the State are
obeyed even in Charleston. This will require
drastic measures, and will doubtless be unpleasant
and unpopular for Governor Manning in Charles
ton, but we do not believe that he will shrink from
the task. So lt occurs to us that Charleston ie likely
to get a flr?t !e?son In obedience to law. If such
be the program mapped out by the governor, he
will have the hearty support of all the people who
respect law and order anywhere In South Carolina
and elsewhere. It will also be a good lesson for
Charleston, and will do tho city good. It ls in
credible that, there should1 be a law applicable to
every other section of the State that would not be
good for Charleston. The some kind of people live
there as live In other sections, they eat the same
kind of food and breathe the same air. they speak
the same language uad wear thc same kind . of
clothes, they read the same* books and discuss thc
same topics. We are In favor of giving them, there
fore, the same laws as the rest of the State Is pro
gressing on and growing by.
Mayor Grace's ideas and rules are so very unique
and ingenuous that wc aro appending them to this
editorial and wish that our readers should see the
kind of thought that is in the ascendancy In South
Carolina's metroplis and sea port Yet there are
people there who do not seem to understand why
Charleston is "outof Jonit" with the rest of the State.
Mayor Grace's statement follows:
"Governor Manning has called my atten
tion very sharply to alleged violations of law
in the city, and hes stated that unless drastic
?.teps arc taken at ence to stop these viola
tions. Charleston must be prepared for a
. rather strenuous program. I agree that the
law. is not fully respected In many par
ticulars .in this community. But Charleston
ts no worse than any other city upon which
odious laws have been Imposed by those
either misunderstanding or not caring about
,-MKiiiopoiitan habits-und conditions. There
fore I have mado earnest efforts to bring the
legislature to a proper conception of our
problems, hoping that sensible laws might be
passed which all good clttsens can Join in -
< obeying and seeing obeyed. Unfortunately
while'we haye made a great Impression and
much progress with the legislature now sit
ting, we have again failed to get relief. But
the future is full of hope. In the meantime,
and especially now under the mandates of
Governor Manning, I feel lt my duty to re
publish the following rules, which the police
department will more vigorously follow, be
ginning March 1:
"1. The closing of blind tigers at 12 o'clock
and on Sundays.
"2. Banishment of slot machines and all
forms of mechanical gambling.
"3. The closing of turf exchanges and the
prevention of hand books In that connection.
"4. The suppression of lotteries.
"5. The shutting off of illuminated signs
which lead to places of lawlessness.
"6. The absolute prevention of liquor sel
ling to boys (and especially those In school
uniforma) and to men when they reach a cer
tain stage of intoxication.
"7. The measurable restriction of homes
of Ul fame and assignation.
"It will be recalled that these are practica.
ly the rules twice heretofore promulgated
and sporadically enforced unfit by the inter
vention of compelling influenc?s they were
* rendered more or less nugatory. I under
stand now that It Is Governor Manning's in
tention to prevent henceforth a repetition of
those Influences.
"Governor Manning ls by no means satis
fied with sar does he accept the rules above
laid down a full compliance with bli idear
;:? !r. v enforcement. But ? "ivs assufe-? him
that under all tho circumstances In Charles
ton. if I can carry tham'out. H will be as rar.
for the present, as it ls humanly practicable .
to go. ? -
"Of course be would like to see Us? en
forcement in Charleston of every law on the
statute books. So would I. That ls a var?
high Ideal, hut, like every other Ideal, alto
gether unattainable; especially when some
of our statute law ts in downright opposition
to an almost universa! nebt latent I believe
that the minds and hearts of 90 per cent of
.our people will Instantly accept the forego
ing program as reasonable and therefore en
forceable, which will be a far better condi
tion to achieve than by any more extreme ef
fort? to plunge the whole community lai.? a
I slate of turmoil and impeles?.outlawry."
A STATE AGENT FOB MILL WO KKK KS.
It in refreshing to havt> a governor who thinks
aii<t ?wis fur thu best interests of the people of the
Stute in whatever capacity they may labor. There
is nothing of tile demagogue in what Governor
Maiming recommends. For instance he has sent
the following message to the legislature, and in
response to this un uct has been introduced to pro
vide for a State axent. One of the fathers of th:
hill in the senate is Senator Sherard of Anderson
County, whose course In the upper lawmaking body
is meeting with much favorable comment. The
m'll people will feel grateful to the legislature for
thus attempting to assist them In solving problems
peculiarly their own.
The mensage of the governor follows:
"I earnestly request the members of your
bodies to consider seriously and pass at this
session tba bill which has been introduced
and favorably reported In the hoi se, provid
ing; for the. establishment of a State officer
for welfare work. This bill is designed to
promote the interests of our industrial vil
lages, which form so important a part of the
State. How best to benefit the people of the
mill villages is a study which deserves your
careful attention. This bill would. I believe,
help the people of the villages to solve their
problems and to Improve the conditions of
life under which these citizens live; it would
help them to make the best of their oppor
tunities. The high COB! of living restricts
their comforts and luxuries; the leadership -
of a demonstrator whose heart ls In this work
would go a long way to adding cheer to the
home life of these many thousand South Car
olinians.
"The bill simply provides for the appoint
ment of a State agent, under the direction of
the State department of education, whose
duty Is snail be to supervise the work of
local demonstrators. The work has been in
effect In this Stafe for three years under the
direction of the United States department of
agriculture. Rc-ently congress passed a law
which cut off the appropriation. The work
lias greatly benefited more than a score of
our mill communities and I now earnestly
ask that the State take up this work.
"Our State government has been liberal in
the matter of providing means for the* im
provement of our agricultural classes; I
urge that a step now be taken to help the
nilli communities."
MANNING MAH KS FITNESS THE TEST.
Governor Manning's letter to Mayor Griffith of
Columbia, declining to appoint H. L. Shull as a
member ot the Richland County dispensary board
until the Columbia mayor has satisfied bim that the
appointment would be a flt one. should command
the widest approbation. "It is my purpose," says
the governor, "before issuing commissions to the
men named on the various dispensary boards of the
State, to get information about them." Then he
asks three pertinent questions. He wants to know
what Mr. Shull's past business experience has been,
what bis business Interests are now and what ls
and has been his attitude in regard to the enforce
ment of the dispensary law,
It is clear that. Governor Manning means to avoir'
lt possible the naming of any mab to a place pw a
dispensary board whose appointment will not com
pel public respect and confidence because of Its fit
ness in ali respects. It is clear also that he intends
to require those, who make these nominations to
deal with him in absolute frankness., That is as it
should be. No man ought to be named to a place on
a dispensary board who is not a man of some busi
ness experience. No man ought to be named on,.a
dispensary board who has any,.entangling alliances
which might embarrass him in the performance ot
his duty or invite suspicion as to his disinterested
ness. No man ought to be appointed on a dispen
sary board who is not ready to lend his influence
and efforts to the enforcement of the dispensary
law.
Governor Manning announces that the course he
is following in tho case of the Shull appointment
will be followed In all appointments of this kind
and in all appointments of peace officers. The
policy thu* established will surely make for thc
public welfare. It ls a reversion to the standard of
merit. It shows that in Richard I. Manning South
Carolina has found a chief executive who proposes
to act not for his friends or his friends' friends'
but for the people. It goes far to fix the character
of the new administration.-The News and Courier.

PEKING. Feb. 17.-The memoran
dum recently given by the Japanese
legation to American. British, French
and Russian diplomatic representa
tives respecting Japan's demand on
China dmlts certain of the require
ments originally.' presented to Per
king, If Information from presum
ably well Informed sources, both for
eign and Chinese, is correct. These
negotiations, which began late In
January, had for their object deter
mination of the future status of
Japan's relations with China and a de
cision respecting certain questions re
garding the future development? of
the Chinese republic. Their course
has been guarded with great secrecy.
The Peking government did not con
ceal its concern over the situation,
and on February 6 Sun Poa-Cbl, Chin
ese loreign secretary, at a conference
with the Japanese minister at Peking,
rejected Japan's proposals on the
ground that they Were incompatible
with China's sovereignty and .conflict
ed with existing treaties between
China and other foreign powers." The
Japanese minister thai asked for an
acceptance in principle, stating that
the detailed negotiations could be con
ducted later. China returned the
same answer as to the principles in
volved.
The original demands, according to
information from Peking sources,
WeTe 21 in number and we*e fsrreach
lng both in their political and com
mercial aspects.
lt ls not known, whether the ori
ginal demands were made orally or in
a formal written communication. The
memorandum aa banded to the lega
tions of the United States,.Great Bri
tain, France and Russia, is under
stood to contain but ll demands, sub
stantially as follows:
In relation to* Shantung. China, is
to transfer to Japan all rights and
concessions previously enjoyed by
Germany, and must consult Japan on
all matters previously agreed upon
between Germany and China in the
province of Shantung.
China is to agree not to alienate or
lease Shantung or any pretest-to any
foreign government,; and no leland
near Shantung is to be leased to any
foreign power.
China Lr to grant Japan the riebt
io construct a railroad from Kia Chow
to Chi Fu.
Cert alu cities in the province of
Shantung shall, be opened aa treaty
ports.
In southern Manchuria and Mon
golia, terms ot the lease of tbe Kwang
Tung (Port Arthur and Darlea 1 and
the Manchurian and Mukden railroads
are to bo extended.
' In the same region Japan ia td ac
quire rights of residence, ownership
of land and mining granta for her na
tionals.
In the same region of southern Man
churia and Mongolia, the following
four requests are made:
Before granting railroad conceS
atjpM-te any third-power China must
agree to consult Japan in advance
Before endeavoring to obtain capi
tal for. loans from any third power
china must consult Japan.
Before choosing any foreign poli
tical, military or financial advisers, j
-China must consult Japan.
Transfer of management and con
trol of the Changchln- railroad Is to j
be made to the Japanese.
These, request-, ali relate to Mon- \
golla abd not to China as a whole.
China ls obliged not to alienate or j
lease any r?art? or bays on any island i
near the,Formosa coast.
Among' the original demands not
Included in the memorandum . aa
handed to fore, .n legations, are said
to be the following?..
That If China ' employs foreigners
as controlling advisers in her police,
military or financial departments
Japanese shall be preferred; that one
half-of the ammunition and arms us
ed by China must be purchased from
Japan, or an arsenal be established in
Chana employing Japanese experts and
materials: that China must* grant to
Japan the same privileges as oiher
nations to establish missions, schools
and churches throughout the country
to propogete P.^ddhism; that mining
concessions conflicting with existing
concessions at Hanang, Tayeb and
Ping Slang shall not be granted to
other foreigners if a Chino-Japanese
company, hereafter to be formed, shall
disapprove; that certain railroad con
cessions from Nanchang to Chao
Chow Fu, from Nanchang to
Kuklang.i from Nanchang to Wuchang,
and from Nanchang to Hangchow
shall be granted; that foreigners oth
er than Japsese shall be excluded
from future railroad, mining and dock,
building concessions unless Japan
Khali concent.
It is. learned that China has made
three counter proposals concerning*
concessions in Manchuria, Mongolia,
and Shantung and has signified wil
lingness to make a public declaration
that China shall never cede a port,
harbor or island to another power,
but declined to pledge itself to that
effect to Japan.
China also has expressed willing
ness to discuss any demands she
dees not regard as infringing on her

ments, is not known here.
unir?ais Decline to Discuss Demands.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Presa dis
patches from Peking and Tokio con- ?
cercing the Japanese demands on
China attracted much interest here
today, but officials of the United
States government and diplomats at
the Japanese and other embassies
would not discuss them.
'lite United 'States' government has
been kept In close touch with devel
I opmonts through embassies and. lega
tions in Europe as' weil Tokio and
i Peking and Secretary Bryan and Am
bassador Chinda are understood to
have discussed the .situation infor
mally here.
The understanding from the best
informed sources ls that the Japaneso
demands, UB revealed to the. powers,
relate to certain localities and do not
concern Chibares a whole, affecting
only parts of Shantung, southern
Manchuria and .Inner Mongolia.
The* recent'statement given to the
press by the Tokio foreign office and
also communicated to the'powers, as
sured them that nothing in the Jap-,
anese demands Interfered with the
territorial integrity of China, pr the
principle of equal opportunity In the
Far East. This tended to clarify tho
situation, which had been ' somewhat
confused for foreign governments by
rumors and reports of an extensive
Japanese plan for commercial expan
sion in China.
It was said also* In well informed
?Quarters that nothing thus far had
developed which had occasioned any
; formal inquiries from the United
Siat?s to Japan on the subject or, had
raised any apprehensions that ' the
.open door" policy would be adversely
I affected., ?
