WHAT SHALL WE DO?

Gov. Cooper is quoted as saying
before the sheriffs and solicitors and
other peace officers in Columbia on
Wednesday that there had been at
least one homicide in South Caro-
lima for every day since the first of
January this year. That is a pretty
bad record. And yet since that ad-
dress the average has been more
than made. There seems to be a
wave of crime sweeping over the en-
trie country. Human life is very
cheap. Just what is to be done it is
difficult to say.
The first great thing is to get the
human heart right. There can be no
peace until there lis a desire for
peace in every heart of every per-
son. There can be no decrease in
crime until the desire to do wrong
is removed. Convieting the criminal
nor hanging the murderer does not
seem to act very much as a deter
rent. Enforcing the law does not
stop it. Create a sentiment for law
and order? That IS good, but how
are you going to do it.
The truth of the matter is, we be-
lieve that there is too much of a
tendency to regulate everything by
law, We do not believe that you will
be able to create the proper public
sentiment for right conduct so long
as there must be so much effort to
do everything by force Of law. Peo-
pie forget the right principles that
should regulate their conduct, and
get an idea that if they can get by
the law that it is all right and they
have done nothing wrong, and will
take the chance Of. being run down
bv the officers. There are so many
laws that it becomes a very common
thing to violate the law. The Nav
becomes common. In fact, the very
best of our citizens violate some law
every day, and do it without the
knowledge that they are violating
law. We believe if there was less
law and less effort to regulate every
thing by law, that there would be less
crime, and the average citizen would
have more regard for the property
and the person of others. It would
be easier to create a. right sentiment
for right conduct, and there would
be less wrong doing.
Certainly there is need for right
thinking and for right conduct, and
that something should be done to
bring about better. state of affairs.
Instead of the dread of the heavy
hand of the law there should rather
be the dread of the heavy condem-
nation of public sentiment.

j. At the regular meeting of the Be-

evening, the council was represented
by q special committee consisting of
Aldermen: sBenner, Jones and Bar
nell, two other aldermen being ab-
sent. The committee was named to
ascertain conditions with reference
TO the department. Practically every
member of the fire department was
It developed, according to asser=
tions, that the department has not
received the support it should have
received in the past. The depart
ment sentiment toward a: paid IRE
department chief co-incides with the
popular belief, but attention Is
called that as long as two years ago
this was broached by the department
and got no where. While the mem
'bers favor a paid chief, they contend
one of the members OF the depart
ment should be named, and that he
could fill the bill and not get some
one from outside the city.
1t was also contended that proper
cooperation from some city munich
pal quarters was lacking and had
been.
The committee will make it's re-
port at the next meeting of the
council.

MAY FIND WAY TO YIELD.

Some Of the presidents supporters
believe he may yet find way to
yield on these reservations without
seeming to yield too much. One OF
tho most prominent democrats in the
senate, who has made it his business
to learn the exact situation on both
sides of the chamber, declared re-
Gently. IF the senate voted it's con-
viction there would not be twenty
democratic votes for the treaty In its
present FORM
But though there are many indi-
cations that the senate will either
adopt reservations or reject the
treaty, the league Of nations coven-
ent has as many enthusiastic friends
today in the senate as It ever had.
That Is the reason for the strength
OF the reservations, 1t Is apparent.
Without reservations these league
supporters think the treaty will be
rejected and will carry with it In
detail defeat to the government.
Hence, league friends argue. 1t is
better to yield to the demand for res
ervations
This view was expressed by Sena-
tor McCumber. the leagues most out
spoken friend on the republican side,
and at the same time a co-author
with other senators on the reserva-
ton on Article Ten.

U.S.. SUBMARINES ARE
BETTER THAN U BOATS

Washington, Oct. 1.-Tests con-
Quoted by the navy department snow
that the much praised German cruls
ing submarines were inferior in er-
flciency to American vessels of the
same class.
The enemy craft had less speed
above and below water, and had a
smaller cruising radius.
The best OF five German submar-
ines brought to the United States for
the Victory Liberty Loan campaign
was used in making the comparison
the U-111, built at Kiel in 1918.
In competition with it was the S-3
built at Portsmouth in 1918.
The maximum speed developed by
the U-1l1 was 1873 knots. while the
S-3 made 14.7 knots. Submerged,
the U-111 made 7.8 knots, and the
S-3 made 12.4. The U-111 can cruise
$500 miles at IL knots compared
with a RADIUS Of 10000 miles at IL
knots, of which the S-3 is capable.
Both boats can carry IL torpedoes.
The U-111 mounts two 4-inch guns,
while the S-3 acrries one, in accord
ance with the navy departments
practice.
The U-111 is congested and COM
plicated. The S-3 is comparatively
"roomy" and much simpler in de-
sign.

BEClDA FARMERS GET
BIG CLOVER RETURNS

Speaking about raising clover
crop, E. X. Nyhus of Becida has just
sold to the Northrup-King company,
clover seed secured from twenty
acre tract, for which he received a
check for $3.50. 1t is very easy to
figure that the crop was worth $175
per acre, considera bly, more valuable
than the acreage is worth.
Fred Barr, also of Becida vicinity,
had eight acres of clover and from it
he got $1,190 for his seed, also from
the Northrup-King company.
Dan Stewart is another Becida
farmer who got in the clover seed
game and brought in 2,625 pounds
and received $1,11O.53 from the
Northrup-King company, and he has
yet more to cut and bring in the
seed.
Farmers who have seed should
bring it to Bemidji as the prices are
said to be as high as at other state
points.

DEMOCRAT LEADERS
LOOKING AHEAD TO
PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
Name Of Hitchcock Heard; He
IL Spokesman of Party
for Peace Treaty
BY l.. c. Martin.

Omitted Press Correspondent
Washington, Oct. 1.-As the rain
and, wind Of springtime, beating up
on tender growing things give them
strength and sturdiness, so the strong
blasts OF the opposition to the league
Of nations in the senate are daily
helping to strengthen a little presi-
DENTAL boomlet tE==e.
|; !, Fof every speech against the
!1eague calls for one in defense of it,
and those n-defense of 1t are made
in; great measure, by one man. His
speaking in behalf Of the league has
been much more frequent than that
Of any Of his colleagues.
And so, if-and there are many It's
in the situation-1F the league OF
nations convenant should be forced
through the senate without change
in spite of the opposition, and,
IF President Wilson should decide
he won't seek a third term, and
IF McAdoo, Baker and the other
democratic possibilities should not be
too0eager, then
,!''tWhy not Hitchcock?' ask his
friends.
BY whom they mean senator Gil
bert M. Hitchcock, Nebraska, chief
spokesman for the adminis istra ion and
the league Of nations in the senate.
Who, ask Hitchock's friends, would
be more logical as president than the
man whose sympathy with and un-
derstanding of President Wilson's
views and purposes regarding the
league Of nations have been appar-
entity unbounded?
Hitchcock, they point out, has
borne the brunt of the fight in the
senate for the league. Almost single
handed he has met the assaults of
numerous clever opponents, and, in
the opinion of his friends, he has
parried their thrusts cleverly, at the
same time countering with many an
effective stroke of his own.
In the United States new position
with relation to the rest Of the
world, they declare, the coming presi-
dent must be imbued with zeal for
the success of the league such as, in
the view of lis friends, Hitchcock
has, in measure equalled by no one
in the democratic party except Presi-
dent Wilson himself
Hitchcock, they declare, is an ex~
pOnent of the new order, Just as
Hiram johnson is of traditional
Americanism; and among them turks
the hope that President Wilson, II
he does not himself desire another
term, will speak a word in the right
quarters when the time comes, in be-
half Of his chief lieutenant in the
league campaign.
