THETOLBERT APPOINTMENT
In making a fight for the con
firmation of Joseph W. Tolbert,
republican national committee
man for South Carolina, as a
United States marshal in that
state, President Harding is plac
ing himself in the attitude of
giving an important federal office
to a man whom the state constitu
tion and statutes declare to be
civilly dead. Tolbert’s nomina
tion is again before the judiciary
committee of the senate after
having failed to get approval in
the last regular session, and in
the special session which closed
Decembers. Meanwhile Tolbert
holds the position and draws the
salary bv virtue of a recess ap
pointment
Under the ccnstitution and
statutes of South Carolina a per
son convicted of “larcency after
trust” loses his citizenship and
becomes legally incapable of mak
ing a valid oath. Tolbert was
convicted in 1894 of embezzling
funds from a Sout Carolina post
office.
The news dispatches contain a
report that a man 98 years of age
finds his eyesight coming back to
him for the second time. Well,
the old gent has missed a heap
these past few years, and we re
gret for his sake that skirts are
again back down to the shoetops.
Still there are a few things that
may shock the old fellow’s second
vision if he should care to test its
strength.
