A part of the eewwd ebeered him uproarously. Gov.

He point - to the meaner in which the law enforced in Charleston dur? fte hie, administration and pledged gaassetf to continue the enforcement Off law along thai same lines during tbo next two years. The same crowd that ebeered Moose biased Manning. Now for the reason. Magistrate O*8haoghneeay, of Charleston, In cerementing on the arrest and convic? tion of a man named Ford on tho charge of transporting ilquor. on Wo 1 nseesy, raid: "1 have been here fifty years and I have never seen the liquor laws so rigidly enforcod. When a man breaks tbo prohibition laws now Ba Is certainly taking long chances with bie freedom, or else doesn't love ff so d um."

The majority of the people of Charleston are law resiectlng and will uphold the hands of a governor who shows a determination to put a curbj on crime and disorder. In the peel they have endured the condition of lawlessness fastened upon the city by the blind tigers, because they saw an Bops for better things under too adamlnhrtratlon. but they have never denied the existence off a rule off lawlessness or defended the conditions Heat bare been a disgrace to the com aeaaity. a a a Btr Roger Casement, who wee hang? en Thursday on the charge Of high treason, for his part In promoting the Irish rebellion, is. In some sense, a political martyr, and his execution by tba British government wes undoubt? edly e mistake when all the, circum? stances are considered. But the ex? travagant i Iambi that are being made for htm aa an Irish patriot whose de? votion to the cause of freeing the Jrlab from seven hundred year old oppres? sion of Knglund would be more im prer ?. . ? convincing iff It were poe ble to forget the fact that he epei.t the bettor part of hla life In the ear rice of ?he British government and was well paid and highly honored by that government, whose service he did not leave and whose policies he did not antagonise until It was sorely beset by foreign enemies. There are Irishmen whose consistent opposition to the form of government that the British parliament has Imposed upon Ireland and their persistent and Ir? reconcilable antagonism to all things English, qualities them for the role of patriot and martyr, but sir Hoger Caaement. whose very title was the badge off his service to tho govern? ment he turned against In Its tlmo of peril, cannot Justly be placed on the pedestal of fan <J as auch a national hero. He a as only an unfortunate con* sptrator, not a fighting revolutlona auch as the Dublin rebels who dien or were token with gun In hand, bat? tling against odds for the cause of Irish liberty. 0 0 0 The office off Railroad Commissioner ehould not be a political Job, and should not be held by a mna who la primarily an office seeker and without any qualification for the office, save his desire to set in the pay roll. A Railroad Comm.ss.oner should have apeclal knowledge about the details of i.olroad management and should also be a business mnn of sound Judg? ment and Judicial temperument, who will deal fairly and Justly with both the public and the railroad*, whose in terest* ho often are In a mm rent con? flict. Among the candidates this year there is a mun of this typ*c in the person of Mr. W. T. Thrower. He was for many yearu) In the railroad service?when the writer first kneu him more than twenty years ago he was running as conductor on the Sea? board Air Line?and he later held other positions, subsequently leaving the railroad to engage in the lumber business, which gave him the oppor? tunity to learn the other side of the freight rate problem. As Mayor of Cheraw and a member of the Hoard of Trade he was instrumental in ob? taining a readjustment of freight rates for that town which had been discriminated against by the tariff then In force. Mr. Thrower is not a politician of the glad-hand type and is too modest to blow his own horn In the usual manner, but he is a solid and dependable citizen- who is well fitted to make a useful member of the railroad commission. Some of the oth? er candidates may be as well qualified as Mr. Thrower, but we happen to know him and feel sure that those who vote for him will make no mis? take. Fort MIO Couple Hold for .Court.
