If the Hsrtsville silverware plant is really seeking snother location It should come to Sumter. This is a matter for the Chamber of Commerce to take up. It is a tangible proposi? tion and If Mr. Perry can demonstrate that the enterprise can be made to pay, hs will find no difficulty In in? teresting Sumter in It.

In his speech a,t the University of Pennsylvania on Washington's birth? day. Mr. Taft paid a high tribute to the ministry. In the early days throughout this country, and par? ticularly In New England, the min? isters "exercised a most powerful po liticial character. At that time New England, as Mr. Taft said, "might almost be called a 'theocracy/ " and the minister in the community was the highest authority as to what the law should be and how It ought to be enforced. Great changes have come since that day. "Then the min? istry, because of the rewards in the way of influence, power and promi? nence attracted the ablest of educat? ed minds," but there has been a radi? cal change in the position and influ? ence of the ministry. The spirit of education and Independent thinking, the wide diffusion of knowledge and news by the press, the increased re? wards and influence of other voca? tions have all had their effect in at? tracting much of the best talent of the country form the ministry to other pursuits. Mr. Taft believes that the profession of the ministry ought to have a very direct effect upon the conditions in this world rather than be wholly confined to the concerns of the next, and he re? gards it as a distinct loss to society that the ablest young men are not seeking the ministry, but he does not think that the pulpit has lost its Influence upon the public conscience He thinks that the ministers have not always been discreet, that the" ten? dency among some of their number who have taken part in poltical af? fairs and are seeking governmental reforms has been to "demand too close a realization of their Ideals and an unwillingness to give up the ac? complishment of some for decided progress in others." and Just to the extent that they have done ao does he think that they have placed a lim? itation upon their usefulness. That Is all very well said and very interesting. "No matter how excel? lent his motives," says the New York Sun in speaking of the political ac? tivities of the minister, "he is often in no position to direct a layman as to politics. Pernaps It would be Just to say that the laity has risen rather than that the clergy has fallen. "This is practically the idea that Mr. Taft had in his mind. But the minister as alwayil ben regarded in this re? gion as set apart for a particular work. He cannot be a merchant, or a lawyer, or a broker, or a mechanic because his relation to the commu? nity is sacred, and therefore, in a large sense wholly spiritual. This was the view, at any rate, that ob? tained in South Carolina under the Constitution of 1790, which contains this explicit and wholesome declara? tion: "Section 23. And, whereas, the ministers of the Gospel are, by their profession, dedicated to the service of God and the cure of souls, and ought not to be diverted from the great duties of their function: there? fore, no minister of the Gospel, or public preacher, of any religious per? suasion, whilst he continues In the exercise of the pastorlal functions, shall be ellgitable to the office of Governor, Lientenant Governor, or to a seat in the Senate or the House of Representatives." That declaration was written into the Constitution of this State one hundred and nineteen years ago, and we doubt that anything has been gained . for good living, lofty think? ing and other purposes since the preachers in this State began to take an active part in practical politics. Has there been any Improvement, In fact, in the character of our citi? zenship, in the ability and integrity of our public servants, in the effect? iveness of our legislation, in the ad? ministration of our public affairs since the interdict upon clergical par? ticipation in politics was removed in South Carolina? 18 lbs.
