CHARLESTON AMI THE STATE.
The Sumtvr Item urges upon ita
readers and the people of South Caro?
lina the raising of "a State-wide
fund for the use of tho Law and Or?
der League of Charleston so that they
may make a good fight, drive out
crime and punish the criminals who
disgrace the city and the State by
their flagrant disregard of law and
morals." In doing so it undoubtedly
means well for Charleston. It voices
publicly a feeling whb h has already
found privato expression in other
quarters. It recognizes that when
lawlessneso Is allow -d to go uncheck?
ed In Charleston, \he harmful effects
ars not coi.lined o> the territory lying
between ASMS] Junction and the
Battery, but the evil influences spread
to all parts of the State."
However, a little reflection would
suffice to convince the Item of the
futility of such a plan as that which
It suggests. Tho people of South
Carolina outside of Charleston cannot
help with contributions of money to
better conditions in this community,
and we have no idea that any organiz?
ed attempt of that sort would even be
seriously considered, for it must be
evident to any one who stops to think
for a moment that it would inevi?
tably do more harm than good. Were
anclal support the only thing which
?od in the way of a successful cam
Ign for the enforcement of law in
larlenton a changed state of affairs
?uld long ago have been brought
out.
The Item, nevertheless, has laid
Id on two fundamental truths which
Is Important that the people of
uth Carolina generally should rec
ntse. It sees clearly that tho rest
the S*ate cannot afford to ignore
nditions in Charleston and it ap
shends further that Charleston can?
not hope to escape from her present
predl m nent until the rest of the
State comes to her assistance. It Is
true, as th* Jtem de-dares, that when
thing* go wrong in Charleston "the
evil Influences spread to all parts of
the Stute." and it Is true further that
the people of the State at large can
be of very material aid in hastening
the time when conditions which has.
now earned for this elty a notoriety
which it cannot relish will bo re?
moved.
Th? fnct Is that a full measure of
relief for Charleston cannot be ob?
tained until the State at birg? Is will?
ing to grant it. it is th^ presence
lipon i.ur Statut?' book* of laws to
mni' h poMe sentiment has never
been attuned and which, therefore,
are almost IgflsjpgMi of soiisJetent hi
forcemerv that is responsible In tic-'
last analysis for the situation
viewed by the Item with Just
distress. Wise legislation must |
precede any lasting reform of,
conditions in Charleston and
wise legislation rests not With the peo?
ple of OMUTtsetos atone serf with the
pe..pb> .,f the whole State.
The dl o ? < u I ..f law v, hieb has
manifested In thi-< i mmunlty
cannot be Justified b'lt the explanation
f? r It Is easy tO u nderstand. It is th?- ,
outgiowth of mistaken efforts to
regulate the habits and ejttf IkS StM
tonis of an entire community regard
leee of the wishes ami over the pro
tests of Us citizens. No such under-,
taking h,?s ever succeeded or Sil
succeed. The Item is in error as to
the means It proposes for bringing
about a change but it is right when it
urge* that Charleston stands in real
need of the sympathetic SO-operation
of Its friends throughout Sosth Can.
Una. It is right when it *a\s that the
rest of the State i anm?t afford to r?
main Indifferent to the Conditions
hm*.?He we and Courier?
The Law and Order League of
Charleston. ha\ing Issued an api?/il
for monev to carry on the iU:ht
against lawlessness nnd vi?-,. In that
cite, the legjteal eonelssHoe was that
unless funds wore rorthcoming from
sjejgfjs am res ine fi?ht would languish
and the lawless element would tight
en its grip OS Ike eommunltv. But
It appears that the Law and Order
l.esgue is laboiiii^ under I gTOSS
missppt' hen-i.oi thii it made a
mistake in Starting the tight; at least
that is the only conclusion that can
i>e drawn from the comments of the
Newa and Courier upon aur well
meant suggestion that the law-respect?
ing people Of all sections of the State
unite in providing the financial sup?
port the Law and Order League had
failed to obtain from the people of
Charleston. Unless wo fail to grasp
the true meaning of News and Cou?
rier's exposition of the Chariest* n
point of view, it is the opinion of tre
controlling clement in that city that
the Uw and Order League blund?
ered egreglously in attempting to
suppress law-breaking and punish
the law-breakers. It seems that
CharftHoa does not want the law,
as it stands, enforced, but demands
that the balance of the State come
uround .o the Charleston way of
thinking, that the laws be so altered
and amended as to permit Charles?
ton to do legally what is now done
illegally. Charleston Is satisfied with
conditions as they are, but feels some
irritation and suffers some inconven
lenee because of the fact that there
ar? some foolish lawa (from a Char?
leston point of view) on the statute
book. Therefore the balance of the
State should take heed of the situa?
tion of Charleston and make haste to
remove tbe stigma of lawlessness
from that unique old city by erasing
from the statute book all the laws
that are In unywlsc in conflict with
the peculiar notions of a peculiar peo?
ple. If that is the real, honest, can?
did attitude of Charleston respecting
the wises,, und best methods of deal?
ing with the existing lawless and
Vtetoiafl conditions In that city, as
depleted in the reports of the Law
and order League, there la nothing
more to be said, and wo heartily
agree with the News and Courier that
it would be a mistake for law-re
speeting people anywhere to waste
their money by contributing to tho
Law and Order League.
Mrs. Pankhurst threatens to start
a hunger strike it tho United States
undertakes to have her deported as
an undesirable immigrant. Th^re is
no doubt that she is a nundesirable,
and the immigration officials shoald
not permit themselves to be bluffed.
As a citizen of England she has some
right in that country, but she is en?
deavoring to force herself upon this
country and has no rights here, there?
fore she should be shipped back by
the first steamer, and If she chooses
to starve herself to death it is her own
lookout. No one wants her in this
country and she and her lawless fol?
lowers should be made to understand
that her methods will not be tolerated.

Mr. Henry Lane Wilson, former
ambassador to Mexico, who lost his
Job as the result of his advocacy of
Huerta, blames Mr. Bryan for his re?
moval and criticises President Wilson
and the policy he is pursuing In deal
\rtg with the Mexican situation. It is
svident that Mr. Wilson has not yet
realized he day of special interests
has passed and that he represented
the people of the United States and
not tho capitalists who had money in
Mexico and were In on tho deal to
overthrow Madero and re-establish
tho conditions that Diaz created. The
only mistake Secretary of State Kryan
made vs as in not removing Mr. Wilson
nun h sooner, and Mr. Wilson's letter
Is tho best proof of this.
