NEWSPAPERS OPINION
LIQUOR AND LEARNING

Every pay check has its human history. 1t is
not merely wisp of paper; rather is it hundred,
a thousand ten thousand, hearts put together.
Drama of struggle, persistence anxiety, ambition,
greed deceit and sacrifice may be behind it. Be
cause salary has its career, some people are Gu
rious as to what sort of character they may find
in their envelope
Hitherto the school teachers have never ques-
toned their income except as to when it was go
ing to come Now, however, in various parts of
the country rises cry to pay the teachers IN part
with the new liquor revenue. The school board III
one of Americas largest cities for instance, has
demanded liquor money for the schools Cash
from alcohol has become a state educational issue.
This particular bonanza appeals to some deSper-
ate teachers 1t finds others hostile. As they might
sketch it. the picture back of the alcoholaided pay
check may be this:
The barkeeper serving his drinks across the
mahogany bar feels he is doing good turn to So
cietv after ALL for he is helping the dear little
school children The saloonkeeper he orders a
nor, LOT of sawdust for the barroom floor reflects
that those who will tread it will be paying school
taxes. The "bouncer' as he hustles noisy "bum"
into the alley cheerfully considers that he is aiding
education. The brewer as he views his carloads
SiNANS NNA4NNA'it->NN"
that he is dispensing learning by the wholesale
The distller as he sends forth his cases Of whisky
ponders lugubrousy, like the Walrus and the CaI-
penter how many tender young things he is turn
ing to the higher things The drunken husband
lurching back to his ptifully bare home argues iii
defense eve no money for the kids clothes or
food but I've paid thei rteacher's salary"
Making schools and saloons partners seems much
ike new attempt to give liquor responsibility.
The dodge of tying the bad to the good is an an
cient one Prize fights, horse races and lotteries
from time to time hook themselves with charity to
gain standing.
Whatever liquor touches it discreditS. The pub
lie schools their teachers and their pupils stari
too high to be made teammates of intoXicaton.
Teachers pay checks should not be tainted with
the smell of the beer key and whisky bottle.
Teachers have earned, and the government should
give them, square, prompt and clean pay check.
When the teacher spends her salary, she should
have no m.sgivngs to where it came FROM

CONDITIONS AND THEORIES

Economics touted for generation or more as
science. is right now by way of demonstrating
that it certainly does not come under Herbert
Spencers definition of concrete science, and it
is something less than his conception of abstract
sctnce.
Chiefly theoretical, and certainly very much
within the experimental stage it is much in the
public eye at the moment because of the varied
programs which being put forth by its disagree
ing and opposing schools of thought.
On the other hand, we are being taught to limit
production in agriculture a means of bringing
prosperity to one division of our industrial order
And now comes a report of the Columbia Uni
versity commission on economic reconstruction with
a warning to the URA against competitive lmita-
ton of output at the expense of the present and
still more of the future national welfare"
1t was Grover Cleveland was it not, who said
during one of the nations worst previous depres-
sons that cit is a condition which confronts us and
not theory"
Well, right now we seem to be confronted with
lot of theories we'll as condition which needs
adjusting even more than in Grover Cleveland's

DIR. |. T. Wilds Is
Rotary Speaker
Stresses Value Of Honesty
in Business Life

DR.. L. T. Wilds, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, was the
speaker at the meeting of the Ro-
tary club at the Skyland hotel
yesterday.
DR.. Wilds called attention to a
recent letter written by an 49,
year-old boy 20 the editor of the
American Magazine asking if hon
esty in business really had any
pre- etical value.
The speaker declared that the
boy was putting too much burden
on honesty, that honesty alone
will make no man successful, but
that other ings such as hard
work. knowledge, and a person
atty that makes friends are also
necessary.
eve do not" he said, "give our
business to dishonest men wheth-
er they be merchants, brokers,
doctors, or bankers, and we have
admiration for the honest man.
These things" he said. prove
that honesty does have practical
place in business.

THEY WILL ALWAYS BE A MENACE

Three men who are known bandits and gunner
are under arrest in metropolitan city suspects
in recent murder.
Two of them he confessed to another recent
killing and all have acknowledged crimes which
chow them dangerous men to be at large, men
ace to society, and devoid of any conceptions Of
principle which will be likely ever to make them
decent citizens.
There is no doubt at all that any one of them
would kill under the slightest provoeation, perhaps
with no provocation at all. . ...
And yet, at the most these men will be pun
ished' with a few years of further hardening in
a prison, from which they will come out to con-
tinue in crime.
Young men-these three Sre %, 81 and 20 years
old-who will go out to steal, and nonchalantly
shoot down anybody who happens to get in their
way, or perhaps simply to show how tough and
dangerus they are. have something in them which
will make them always dangerous.
The state could much better turn loose all its
minor lawbreakers and devote its prisons to the
permanent restraint of such dangerous men as
these, making life imprisonment mean just that
and nothing less.-Rock Hill Is. c. Herald.

BOOZE COMPLETES WITH LEGITIMATE
BUSINESS

that the manufacture and sale Of alcohohc
beverages improves business conditions IS
being supplied in great quantities SINCE
beer was legalized and the 18th Amend
ment was repealed This monumental eco
nomic falIacv of the ages has fooled more
citizens of this country into support OF the
liouor traffic than any other bunk that has
ever been circulated by the liquor crowd
and if still works, as was demonstrated last
year.
Here IS some of the proof of how the
manufacture and sale of booze helps ~
other lines of business. A contributor 20
The Christian Advocate gives this intorma-
ton:
"The urys intend to educate the socalIed ousi-
moss leaders TO the fact that to consent to the
licensing of liquor is business suicide. MUCH Vi

The foregoing are merely some detached
examples of the effects of the sale of booze
ON, the markets for necessities and harm
less luxuries. Any farmer who supports
the liquor traffic is working directly
against his own and the economic interests
of all other farmers in the United States.
The great farmers organizations of the
country-the Grange and others-have
always opposed the liquor traffic, much of
their opposition being based on economic
reasoning.
The total consumption of products of
the soil by the liquor business of the coun-
try in its most flourishing days before pro
hibitiOn, amounted to only a fraction OF
one per cent. of the total production of the
land in the United States. The dairy bust
ness alone will lose more than that in de-
creased consumption of milk on account Of
the competition of beer and booze.
