The Governor and the Highway Department. mmmmrnmmmm The People-Sentinel holds no brief for the members of the State highway department in their clash with Gover nor Johnston, who has demanded their resignations, but it must be said in their favor that they have built an admirable system of roads in South Carolina at a cost, it is said, that will compare most favorably with costs in other States. There have been no direct charges of graft or malfeasance in office lodged against any of them, hut if Governor Johnston has informa tion or evidence of any such it is his duty to present it to the proper au thorities for quick action. Faithful public servants should not be removed from office without cause, no matter what may be the personal likes or dis likes of the chief executive. Governor Johnston is mistaken in his belief that he has a mandate from the people to oust the present mem bers of the highway coimhission. As has been pointed out, he was the only avowed “dry” among the gubernatorial candidates in the last campaign, but he was not elected on that issue, as witness the majority against prohibi tion in the referendum held at the same time. Therefore, he certainly cannot claim that he has a mandate from the people to retain so-called prohibition on the statute books of the Stats. The highway department was creat ed by the general assembly and the appointment of its members is con firmed by the senate. It would seem, therefore, that any reorganization of the department must come through legislative action, though, of course, the governor can make recommenda tions. And what assurance have we, any way, that Governor Johnston’s ap- 1 potatoes would be better men than the present members? Whatever may be the outcome of the present controversy between the governor and’ the member!? of the highwa ycommission, will be watched with considerable interest by the peo ple of the State. - i Nobody’s Business j By GwMcGra.

EM. The esteemed News and Courier is unalterably opposed to any meas ure that would place the State of ~ South Carolina in the business of making and selling intoxicating li quors, recalling the old State dispensa ry. We agree with our Charleston con temporary on that score. Two such bills l)|Ve been introduced in the gen eral assembly by so-called "Drys” and this was doubtless done in an attempt to divide the “Wets” and defeat any liquor legislation at s this session. But the News and Courier goes off at one of its well known tangents when it opposes the local option sys tem. Dr. Ball, or one of his three or four or five editorial writes, takes the position that all of the profits should J>e turned into the State treasury in - order to “protect” the dry counties ^from their neighbors that may have legalized) liquor stores or dispensaries. The Charleston paper says: “So far aa taxes and revenue are concerned, there is no difference now between *aoft’ and ‘hard’ drinks.” ¥ But isn’t there a difference? “Sk>ft” drinks are sold in every county and the profits turned into the State treasury, but sflppose one or more counties should prohibit the sale of coca-cola, or “sassy-parilla” or some other form off soda-pop, would* the News and Courier argue that the taxes from the other counties should go into the State treasury? Hasn’t the News and Courier opposed the 4-0-1 school law because Chsrlesten oil refineries and fertilizer works are taxed for the benefit of the “bsck> * schools in Greenville and 3P*r* tanburg?
