CHIME and prostitution Pro-Holley had excellent reasons for not investigating the Campbell chart,-s against his right bower, Al Guill. At; it seems that our honorable mayor was a silent partner to the whole business.Fqr hist a nee we will take the case of John Wills or the Elk Pharmacy. Mr. Wills was arrested lor selling whiskey without a prescription and was told by Chief Guill and Mayor llolley if lie would pay $50.00 lio would* not bo prosecuted land that they would sec that lie was not indicted. Mr. Wills was only able to pay $?5.oo of the amount which was sent in by a policeman and because lie was not able io pay the other $25.uii ihe evidence hi possession of the police was laid liefore the recent grand Jury and Mr. Wills wn, indicted. Previous to this Mr. Wills was charged with selling dope and retained Judge Wert/, to defend him and was lighting the ruse when a N— gro friend of tlu* mayor’s told him if he would go to see Gen. llolley he could fix it. Mr. Wills called on the mayor and was toft I that he would not have a-.iy thing to do with tin* ease if Judge Wert/ was ir. it. hut said if W'lls would retain Win. G Barnhart lie thought they couhl have It 111rowii out. Mr. Wills told Judge Went/ what the mayor had said and Wentz advised him to go to Barnhart. which he did and the cane was dropped. AW have heard of other cases that could !»•* mentioned where the bootlegger had paid for proiec-tion and were promised that they would not h,. indicted. It the half of the grot ting that went on while our city was dry could be uncovered it would impeach several in high places. Claude llulT. a notorious;bootlegger who had rooms cm Summers street, sold from three hundred to seven hundred pints of whiskey daily and was never pulled. Why was this? We hear that he paid so much a day to the chief or police for protection. Campbell menfioued ibis place Im Ids letter. Why didn’t the mayor have- the place investi gated? No doubt lie had good reasons of his own. J: seems H mu rInin formation coming to us that thoseengaged in the illegal sales of whiskey not only had to pay the chief of policy so much weekly for protection. but also had to grease thecounty officials as well. If this information i. true and indications all poiMt in t hat direct ion as we know that these places 1’ourisl^cd openly, then our city officials arcnothing hut a lot of graiteiH whohave prospered by promoting * vice and arc unworthy public servants and should be expelled from office. All of the t'ampboII charges wore true and a blind man could havefound ample evidence to have substantia led them, but this would never do as Chief Guill is C.en. Holley’s personal friend ar.cl knows too muchabout the generals private life, soit would never do to antagonize him as lie might squeal. Yet the people must put tip with these oflic ials and be tawd io pay them good salaries. Can you expect criminals to pm down crime? Cun you expect moral degenerates to abolish prostitution?These are the conditions the Holley reform administratIc.u haw fastened on ilie people of Charleston.

They polled 2.068 votes—too few even to excite ridicule. Since then, they have passed through five Presidential campaigns, and in every one they have increased their poll, reaching a total of 4 2 1.-000 in 1908. In tin? Stato and Congressional elections just held they have made another gain of at least 5 0 per cont. This is a record of steady progress entirely unique in the history of Live “third parties on American soil. But it is exactly in accord with the.* history of the Socialist party in every other civilized country.Socialism has been ignored. It has been laughed at. It has been denounced. But it has proved its vitality.There is one aspect of this movement which has so far received no attention outside its own ranks. Much lias been written during the last six years about tlie theories of Socialism and their application to specific problems*. But the general public knows liardlv anything about the' internal organization of the party and the methods by which it carries on its work.The form of organization and methods of action adopted by tlie Socialists are in close harmony with th,. peculiar principles and purposes of their movement., and at almost every point they are in sharp trust with those of the other tics.When wo speak of the Republican or the Democratic party. w«* have In mind a comparatively small body of leaders and a largo number of passive followers.
