Why You Should Look for the Best.

Ralph Waldo Trine. writing very
helpful and suggestive article in the
May Woman's Home Companion. says
in part:
Look for the best, habitually for
the best, in all people and all things.
"A person of the strong, positive
faith type. or finality OF thought, is
the one who not only has the native
ability--the initiative as we say
sufficient to begin activities along the
lines of his or her dreams or longings
or ambitions but also force Of sufIi-
cient sustaining nature to keep true
to that set purpose until in time the
goal is reached, the purpose accom-
plished. In accomplishment, more
over, lies one of the chief pleasures
that men or women can know-unless,
perchance, the thing accomplished is
or common or low nature by virtue
or Its being purely for the individual
Satisfaction or gam, in distinction
from it's wider element of use and SER
vice for the larger good; and unless
also, he or she become so n slave to
1T that it absorbs the entire life. so to
speak, making it thereby Unbalanced
and one-sided.
Fear, however. is both chilling anC
killing i'm it's influences. if we be suf
ficiently unwise To allow it cntranc,
into our mental lives. If the tendcnc\
to fear is natural. If, as we say, il is
natural to us and we can't help it. il
will gradually assume mastery ant
will dominate and cnslave the life--il
time the physical life as well as the
mental--,inless we early realize its
! folly and the terrific tributes IL vii
exact. and determine that under n,
circumstances shall ii find any but
short lived stay with U.S."

mental equipment needed to attain
success in the career in which he has
made SO promising a beginning. We

Anderson Adopts u New Anti LIQUOR
Ordinance.
Anderson Daily Mail.


Ordinance.
Anderson Daily Mail.
The city council last night adopted
an ordinance relating to "the sale
use. consumption. possession, trans
portation and disposition of alcoholic
liquors and beverages in the city of
Anderson" which is patterned after
the State law.
Mr.. g. Cullen Sullivan, city attor-
ney, drafted the ordinance, and at the
request of The Daily Mail he has pre-
pared the following statement show.
ing his Interpretation Of it:
The liquor ordinance passed at nv
request last night will not affect any
person who Is now obeying the liuuor
laws OF the State. 1t merely supple
ments the city's laws on the sub
Ject so as to embody laws Of the
State not heretofore adopted by the
city. A brief analysis of the ordinance
might be stated as follows:
Section L. This is merely a gem
erai affirmation that the "use and
consumption" of alcoholic liquors
which will produce intOxication, is
detrimental to the morals, good
health and safety Of the people of the
city in keeping with q like declara-
tion OF tho general assembly Of the
state Of South Carolina but as the
general assembly did not make every
Kind Of use and consumption a viola
ton of law the city cannot legally do
SO and has not attempted to do So
At the same time this declaration
must be construed to be the solemn
council that the "use and consump-
ton" Of Intoxicating liquors is deteri-
mental to the general welfare OF the
State and city.
Section two prohibits the sale OF
liquor. its acceptance. receipt, stor-
Ing or keeping in possession, etc, for
an unlawful purpose but under the
decision OF the supreme court taken
up from this city, 1t does not prohibit
the buying from blind tiger or
receipt therefrom. etc.
Section three prohibits any one
from soliciting orders for whiskey or
Offering liquors for SAFE.
Section four prohibits any club
from purchasing liquors for its men,
bcrs or from keeping liquors for
members. In fact this section prohibits
any club from handling liquors in
any OF tho usual methods.
Section Ave makes every person
connected with club as employee or
member guilty of an offcnse IL liquors
arc handled in any of the usual club
methods.
Section six makes every place
where persons are permitted to resort
for the purpose Of drinking liquors, q
nuisance and the manager or keeper
guilty OF an offense. Under this Sec
ton members or club cannot keep
their own liquors at the club and
frequent the club for the purpose OF
drinking even though they drink their
own liquors. 1t Is frequently contend
ed that this is unconstitutional be-
cause 1t would prohibit the drinking
of liquors In a persons own home.
Personally do not think there Is any
constitutional right for one to permit
persons to frequent the home for the
purpose of drinking liquors. An ex-
ceptiOn in favor of the home would
permit the blind tiger to easily evade
the law as unfortunately our expert
ence is in the city that the average
negro blind tiger Is conducted from

feared and state why 1t was irrepar-
able and why the order was granted
without notice."
section Is prohibits punishment for
indirect contempt: that is to say, con-
tempt that Is not committed in the
presence OF a court. except through
trial by jury.

St. PAUL CHARTER { :! ]. IS UPHELD } |!
Right Of Women to Vote on Certain
Questionss'Is Point on Which
Greatest Interest Conferred.

st. Paul's commission government
charter has been upheld by the state
supreme court An attack on the char
ter was made on the basis of uncon-
stitutionality in that it violated the
constitution by denying women the
right to vote or hold Office; that it
was adopted only by the male voters
and that it put the schools in control
of the mayor and councilmen
Action to test the charter was
brought in the supreme court by At
torney General Lyndon A. Smith, act
ing as relator for interested citizens,
on writ of quo warranto calling on
chief city officers to show by what
warrant they sought to exercise the
duties OF their offices. The supreme
court disposes of the matter by quash.
ing the writ
The question which aroused great
est public interest in the proceedings
was that of the right of women to
vote. This question was disposed of
by the court as follows:
1--WE hold that women have no right
to vote for mayor because he is vested
with power to appoint the commits.
sioner of education, nor for members
of the city council because to them
is committed the general control OF
educational matters as constituting
one of the departments of the munich
Pal government.
Under the present charter: as for
many years heretofore, general school
officers and members of the library
boards in the municipal school district
have been appointive as distinguished
from elective, and women now have
the same rights as ever in these ca
pacities. Their status in relation
thereto is the same under the new as
under the old system, and they have
neither gained nor lost any legal right
The substitution of the one system for
the other without changing or taking
away any prior legal right cannot be
held vislative of our fundamental
law"

MAY USE STATE HIGHWAYS
Contestants for Road Dragging Prizes
in Minnesota.

State Engineer Cooley received a
visit from D. Ward King, the Mis-
sourian who brought to public notice
the virtues of the split-log road drag.
Mr.. King, who had been lecturing
through the state for ten days, stopped
in st. Paul to arrange that contestants
who are competing for dragging prizes
may do their work on the state roads.
Various commercial clubs are offer
ing cash prizes for the best dragged
roads near their towns and it was
feared by certain of the cautious ones
that the state highway authorities
might object. These fears were set
at rest when Mr.. King was assured
that no objections would be made.
Mr.. Cooley explains that he is non
committal and will leave the matter
entirely in the hands of the local of
ficials.
