uphold the hands of a governor who
shows a determination to put a curbj
on crime and disorder. In the

of lawlessness fastened upon the city
by the blind tigers, because they saw

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

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.
