Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan Fav-
ors Prohibition.

In discussing. the liqnor question
in the Commoner Mr.. Bryan says the
liquor dealers, recognizing that their
very obvious pecuniary interest
would lessen the weight of any ar
gument they-might publicly advance,
are making their fight under cover
of organizations purporting to rep
resent those who use liquor. Many
well-meaning men have been misled
into believing that every attempt: to
lessen the evils of intemperance is
a sfanatical attack" on personal
liberty"
1t is time the phrase personal lib
tertyn were defined.
What is meant by personal liber-
TYP.
Does it mean that a person has a
right to drink in any quantity, at
any time, and in any place, no mat
ter what injury he may infiict upon
others? If not, with whom rests
the right to fix limitations!
A drunken man is a menace to the
lives and property of those about
him; have his neighbors no right to
protect themselves?
A drunkard robs his wife and
children and he may finally make
his family and himself a charge upon
society; has society no right to pro-
tecs itself?
The saloon is next-of-kin to the
brotheI and the gambling hall; it is
a rendezvous. for the criminal ele-
ment; and the willing tool of the
corrupt politician; has not the body
polite a right to protect itself from
the decentralization which the saloon
works?
The right to drink does not neces-
sarily include the right to demand
the establishment of a saloon. The
right to drink is sufficiently protect
ed by any arrangement that permits
the reasonable use of liquor under
reasonable conditions; and it must
be remembered that the right to
drink, like any other right. can be
forfeited. Nothing is more sacred
than the right to life, and yet one
may forfeit his right to life if he
uses it in SUCH way as to threaten
the life of another. So, the man
who drinks to excess may forfeit the
right to drink, even the moderate
drinker may forfeit the right to
drink in moderation if, not content
with reasonable regulation, he insists
that liquor shall be sold under condi-
lions that constitute a menace to the
home and the state.
The man who desires to drink
moderately ought to join with those
who seek to reduce the evils ofdrink
to the lowest possible point, instead
of allying himself with those who
ignore the evils of intemperance and
resist every effort put forth for the
protection of society. -Orangeburg

Public Roads Good.

The writer has recently driven
over sixty odd miles of the public
roads of the county, and we have
never seen them in better condi-
tion--not even in midsummer.
Were it possible to have the ruts
and holes filed in the low places
where water collects we believe they
would continue to be in fairly good
order, even after the rainy season.
The supervisor and his road work
ing force deserve credit for the
splendid condition of the public
highways at this season.

1T is pretty generally conceded that
our present day penal institutions are
little more than finishing schools for
crime. Even the most pronounced
optimist IS forced TO this opinion.
Prison officials for the most part admit

serving time within the gray walled
Enclosure. the prisoner himself shrugs
his concession TO the fact. Whether or
not II Is possible TO create a practical
penal system that viii operate for un-
questionable regeneration in moral de-
.HnqUents is a moot point and viii not
be discussed here. The fact remains
that st present these systems do not so
operate, and that regeneration Of the
;. criminal IS accomplished only through
bis own uneided effort; It becomes a mat
ter OF pulling ones self from the slough
by tugging at ones own boot straps.
This uns1ded fight OF an individual to
reach g new eminence Of existence or to
regain the lost former station Of re-
Epectability IS at best difficult feat
p, When It IS accomplished by the
branded creatures of a penitentiary,
where the handicaps are almost insur-
mountable, II becomes a veritable mir
acle. Much food for thought may be
CLEANED from an interview with a man
who has brought such a miracle to
pass. The instance deserves wide pub
Mcity.
The story OF Edward Morrell, sen
fenced TO a life term in the California

his Identification with the famous Son
Tag Evans gang OF train robbers and
. bandits who operated in this state dur
ing the early nineties, and recently
pardoned by Lieutenant Governor Por-

sentence. IS the story Of 2 man who

a result OF hts behavior he was thrown

rigible ward, TO remain there the rest
OF his days.
Five years he spent in this dim, lone
cell, absolutely shut off from every
human contact grim, hopeless con-

day when a new warden assumed
