Ignorance and Corruption are the twin brothers referred to, and they are the mnost dangerous mixture to be contemplated. Mexico is a glar ing illustration of this fact. There a very small per cent. of the people can read ot write,and corruption has become so ram Pant, and notorious that her gov erninent and industrial affairs ,have become so rotten that it is a stench to all civilization. Wherever and whenever the mental and moral training and development of a people are neg lected, then and there ignorance is fostered and will soon have full sway, and this in turn gives vitality to corruption, which sooner later will result in an archy. The greatest need of today is the thoughtful consideration by our wisest m6n of devising some rule, or plan, or law, whereby the force and ultimate ruin caused by these twin brothers may be minimized if not alto gether stopped. And just here it might not be amiss to remind our lawmakers, who are now in session in Co lumbia, that reforms, like char ity, should begin at home. The way to keep a house from burn ing down is to put out the fire in its incipiency and not wait till the flames have gained such headway as to envelop the whole building. The way to provide and protect against future troub bles is to mako the laws so they cannot come. The most important matters to come before the legislature at this time, in my judgment, are the compulsory education bill and the reformation of our elec tion laws. These are twin broth ers, and if they are properly en acted and strictly enforced will make it impossible for the other twin brothers - ignorance and corruption -to succeed in this state. Let our people be educated by all means and at any cost. The children now will be the men of tomorrow, and if we fail to pro vide them with the equipment (an education) by which thev cim make the best and most use! ful men and women, they will gr:>w up and make the opposite The ballot is a very danl.nern us weapon when used by the unin formed. It is this class that the demagogue and designingv poli tician caters to, for he knows be can play upon their ignorance and thereby engender preju(dice and strife. There is a tendency along this line in South Carolina, and the only way to stop it is to have compulsory education and strict election lawvs. If we are to continue the pri mary system the la wvs and rules controlling it should be so rigid that it would be impossible to commit fraud without detection. and when one is caught let him be so severely p)unished as to de ter others. Our~ lawmakers have the opportunity now of prevent ing a repetition of the occurren ces of two years ago, and if they do not do something to purify things and make the primary system a little cleaner there will be worse trouble this year. Will they do it? Have they the fore sight to see it and haye they the backbone -to try to correct it? This is wvhat we are watching to see. Pass yoar compulsory educa tion bill, gentlemen, and then the most stringent law possible safeguarding our elections, anid if the governor wvants to veto them, let him do it. CIVIs.
