It must lie conceded that Gov
ernor Blease, if you please, of
South Carolina, has the courage
of his convictions, such as they
are. He is not. afraid to speak out
in merlin'. And while he may be
a little radical in his views on the
lynching question, the most of
the husbands and fathers of the
Miuth, where the negro outrages
arc committed, feel just as he
loes, and so would nearly every
father and husband of the north

Johnson should be taken out and

Governor-elect IMorrhead is op

The democrats generally believe
in civil service, but not to the ex.
tent of being abused by the out

incoming president's term oT ad

The Christmas shoppers are
"doing it early" with the mer
chants who have already done
Christmas advertising, telling of
the kind of articles they have for
suitable presents. The proper
advertising saves the clerks many
minutes' time explaining to the
hundreds of shoppers after they
enter the store about tho many
articles in stock, and during a
lime when there are many lo be
wailed upon.

The department of justice at
Washington is one that come in
as close touch with the people as
any other and from the nature of
its business the apopintments in
it must be left lo Ihe discretion of
the attorney general and the
president. Ihe civil service law
can never be applied to it in any
real degree. All 'the United
Stales district attorneys are ap
pointed by this department and
the United Stales marshals. -The
(olicies of the department must be
carried out by tneu in sympathy
with I hem and Ihe consequence is
that nio. of Ihe appointees are
changed with each administra
tion. A law yer at Hie head of I his
department who was determined
on the destruction of the trusts
would sTion make things lively all
over Ihe United Slates.

The founders of the govern
ment prov iib'd a life tenure for the
federal judges 'because they dis
trusted the people. In the form
ing of stale government the peo
ple provided for frequent recall at
staled periods because they dis
trusted judges. It could be
forcibly argued that too great a
distrust was manifested in both
instances. It is true that a round
about way, and one that is almost
wholly impractical, was provided
by the founders of Ihe govern
ment for getting rid of bad fed
eral judges, and one such case is
now occupying the whole atten
tion of the United States senate.
Hut there ought to be some more
practical way of disposing of
them, while the judges in whom
the people, have confidence should
be left lo pursue their duties un
disturbed. World-Herald.
