TIME TO TIGHTEN UP

Public sentiment is strongly back of proposals to
tighten the screws on drunken automobile drivers.
There is talk that the next session of the egisla
ture will take steps to impose penal sentence of
80 days, with no alternative fine, on all persons
convicted of this offense
With this in mind respectfully call to Mayor
MeGregors attention the heavy responsibility that
rests upon him in passing sentences persons con-
vcted of operating automobiles while Under tn,
influence of liquor.
In city court yesterday, one offender was fined
SO for drunkenness though police found him I'M
der the steering wheel of wrecked car. The city
has been very lenient with these drivers, but this
seems to be the new low mark in punishment for
this offense
Until such time penal sentences imposed
except in cases where there are some extenuating
circumstances, which are very, very rare indeed,
the people of Anderson, in our opinion would like
to see fine of 500 or 80 days imposed on all
persons who put alcoholic beverages under the
steering wheel.
We can't deal with this menace to public safety
with $40 fines.-Anderson Is. c. Independent

money loaned, the only possible way in
which the account could be balanced would
be by the acceptance in this country Of
Russian goods. Russia will have little
gold which could be paid on account, but
not more than enough to meet the interest
on the enormous financial obligations which
it is proposed to incur.
If Russian recognition is chiefly for the
purpose of finding markets and doing busl-
ness. why not use in this country the money
it is proposed to give to the Russians?
There are millions of this country's citizens
who will accept gift; and as far as busl-
ness men are concerned, there are thou
sands of them in need of financial aid to
enable them to carry on and maintain the
business of their own country. Why give
American cash to the Bolsheviks?

HE TALKED WITH A MAN

Centuries are long to contemplate They stretch
their convolutions to events across the pages OF
history in protracted phases of economic mutations
wars social changes and all the etceteras that go to
build epochs and epics.
Nore than 800 years ago the Mayfower brought
to New England the first of the waves of an i'm
migration that was to spread over a continent
Looking back across those centuries, one stands a
little aghas at the stupendous flow of events Cen
turtles so viewed display exaggerated lengths.
To those who have so looked upon the centuries
that separate today from the Mayfower, the re-
mark of former Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes III
the Yale Daily News recently must have come as
distinct shock For, said Justice Holmes, Il
talked with a man who in turn talked with man
whose father came off the Mayfower." He added
what almost any of us might have added, IT
seems incredible, doesn't it ?''
Yet looking at the sweep of centuries in this
new light removes something of the barrier that
time would raise between and the good that has
been heaped up for us in the past He talked with
a man who talked with man-the thought some
how shakes off some of the shackles of time and
space. One could go further in this direction and
shake off more of the harsh impedimenta of time.
man from Stratford talked and wrote and be-
cause he dug beneath the surface of time and out
ward appearances the centuries between him and
the modern reader vanish One walked on the
Galilean shohes and talked. And the echo of his
words never have passed away and never will.
Hearing his words, we do not see the centuries
shrink-we see them vanish utterly-Chrstian

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A LIVE SUBJECT

Present and continued discussion of the old, old
subject of the freedom of the press suggests thaV
it is actually a mighty live subject at the moment
In at least three of the great nations OF the
,rorId and in some of the smaller countries there
is no such thing as free press
Dictatorship in government extends to superVl-
sion of what shall appear in the public prints
And in spite of the word which has gone out
from Washington that there is not and never will
no the slightest interference with the constitution
aIIv Guaranteed freedom of the press by the Ma
tionaI Recovery Administration" there have been
some suspeious gestures in that direction which
have aroused the newspaper fraternity to make 1t
certain no oficious and over-zealous officials
should be able to get in an entering wedge IN that
direction.
Technical and legal freedom of the press may
be something very different from the spirit, as
suggested by Donald R. Richberg, chief counsel for
the NRA, in a recent address.
But his fear that this free press may not always
be free to tell the truth because Of public or prl-
vate pressure to distort the facts, partisan aims
and preiudices or the control of private sef-serv-
ing interests are not and never will be a real dan
ger in this country, with militant and active
press representing every field of human activity
and interest, political business industrial and So
cal.
Individual interest, opinion or conviction may
color the news of one publications but this will be
more than offset by that which is printed in others
And both may be the truth.
1t is after all, freedom of opinion and expression
which is most to be desired. And truth, it must be

facts-Rock Hill IS. CO. Herald.

UTASHINGTON.-Sitting alone
" out in far-off Idaho, Big Bill
3orah has put his finger on the
most serious flaw in the MIA
program.
In their hearts and in private con-
versation, some administration io!k
admit this. !tRA has encouraged
many manufacturers whose prices
already were far above the general
level tc raise those prices even
higher.
The trouble all along has been
, that prices of many products re-
NAMED almost static through the
depression, while farm prices and
wage Garner purchasing power
were tobogganing.
Monopolies or combinations often
Kept high prices up. Among prices
on the high side were those for
farm implements, steel rails, aIu-
minum, public utilities service, and
building materials.
The administration seeks to re-
duce the spread by raising the gen.
eral commodity price level, now at
20, to that of 1S26-100. Although
the efforc has been to bring low
priced commodities up, there is in
c-easing talk about hammerinS
some of the high-priced Commodi'
ties down for a while.
Thus far it is only talk. But II
involves such concrete suggestions
as establishment Of government
corporations which would import
competitive goods free Of duty.
CTEEL rails were at 90 per cent
~ of the 1926 price when Rocse
vel. forced stee, companies to re-
duce the ton price from $40 &c
S36.97 alter they had bid $3.50 By
obvious prearrangement on a deaI
involving federal loan to rail-
roads.

Washington To
Express Views
On Amendment
TWO FORCES ABOUT EQUAL IN
FIGHT ON REPEAL OF
18TH AMENDMENT

Next Tuesday August %, the polls
will be open from 800 am. until 300
pm. for the special election on the
ratification or rejection OF the pro-
posed twenty first amendment to the
United States constitution. While rati-
tlcation or rejection Of this amendment
is the purpose of the election, voting
will actually be on the repeal or re-
tention OF the eighteenth amendment.
In order to effect this purpose, cam
didates will be selected from each leg.
islative district Of the state as dele
gates to the state convention to be
held in Olympia ON October 3. These
candidates are listed on the ballot as
"for' repeal or against" repeal. The
side receiving the highest number OF
votes at the election will send the two
candidates receiving the highest vote
| to this convention.
Washington will be the twenty fourth
state of the nation to vote on this
question Twenty two have already cast
their decision, all Of them favoring re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment.
Texas, the twenty third state, will vote
on Saturday, August 26, and Washing
ton will follow next week.
Proponents of both sides Of the
question have conducted strenuous
campaign. Political writer's and OBJ
servers have been unwilling to forecast
the result of the election in this state.
While it is conceded that sentiment
in general is favorable to repeal, con-
ditions peculiar to this state make the
outcome favorable to the dry forces.
| A general lack of interest on the part
of the voters exists in this state and
it is doubtful if a large vote will be
cast.
The proposed tWenty-first amend
ment to the constitution is as follows:
"Section l: The eighteenth article
of amendment to the constitution of
the United States is hereby repealed
Section g. The transportation or
importation into any state, territory. or
possession of the United States, for
delivery or use therein of intoxicating
liquors in violation Of the laws thereof
is hereby prohibited
Section 3: This article shall be in
operative unless it shall have been
ratified as an amendment to the con-
stitution by conventions in the several
states, as provided In the constitution,
within seven years from the date OF
submission hereof to the states by
Congress"
Voting booths will be located at Lib
erty hall In the White Bluffs precinct;
; the old Masonic hall building In the
Hanford precinct and the Vernita
school house in the Columbia precinct.

Twenty Four Carloads
Of Pears Are Shipped

weeks. The White Bluffs Warehouse
sent about one car to Alaska points
last week and Tuesday the White

car of mixed varieties to Alaska as
well as car of Winter Bananas to

Apple Prices Are
Looking Better

According to an item in the Pacific
Coast Packer, opinion among shippers
at Yakima on apple prices for the COM
ing season is beginning to crystalline.
In naming prices there is tendency
to concentrate on the early varieties
and withhold quotations on Winesaps
and other winter varieties, but the
chances are that prices will be made on
these also before long.
Quotations on the first loadingsf oi
Jonathans, which will come the first
week in September, have been at $l.2d
a box for fancy and better, and there
have been few sales at this figure
On the first Delicious to come the
quotation has been $1.5O box fol
fancy and BETTER and there also have
been some bookings at this price.
Quotations on Jonathans for sea-
sonal shipments have been at 81 pei
box for the extra fancy grade, 9Oc fol
the fancy grade and 75c for the {
grade, but the few bookings to date
generally have been at DC per poX less
than these quotations.
The Delicious variety has beer
quoted al $l35 for the extra fancy
grade, $115 for the fancy grade ant
9Oc for the c grade. Asking prices
for Romes have been 90c@$1 per DO,
for the extra fancy grade in sizes Isl
and larger.
AS the new grading rules will great
lily restrict the quantity of G grade ap,
pies marketed and increase the colo
requirement, the shippers are disposed
to make q smaller differential between
this grade and the fancy grade thai
usual. They have been quoting Rome
and Staymans at zoe per box, iona
thans at Use and Delicious at DOC
Greater color in both the fancy grad
and the G grade will be required unde
the new grading rules.
| Careful checking of the growth o
| apples by fruit men shows that size
| will not run large generally this sea
son. This applies to Jonathans, Wine
saps and Newtowns, while Deliciou!
owing to the large acreage OF youn
| trees, will be close to normal in size
