and the number of fights among those DRINKS, and
the fact that on Sunday about three faces were
peering out of every window at the jail, indicates
that the opinion of this writer and of others, that
the legal sale of liquor would not increase DRINKS
and drunkenness was all wet. We are honest to
state that there more public drunkenness on
the streets of Marion Saturday than in many, many
a day.
| If this is what the new liquor law is to create
for us, we regret its passage. If conditions last
Saturday were a mere fare-up, and will not occur
regularly we may still be able to hold to our opn
ion that the legal sale of liquor is preferable 20
the bootlegger system which prevailed under the
18th Amendment. We begin to fear however, that
Saturday was not flare-up, and that the exhibit
ton of drunkenness merely the result of the
ease with which liquor can now be purchased in
every county in the state. Last week men openly
purchased hquor openly consumed it, and openly
walked the streets, in drunken condition; probably
being bolstered by the idea that having patronized
liquor store there was nothing of which to be
ashamed and no reason for restraint
If conditions prevailing Saturday become the
rule in Marion this writer will be forced to change
his opinion as to the liquor business and confess
ing his error, again lend his aid to citizens who
either legally or Illegally 1t appears that all the
new law is doing is to run bOttleggers to cover
and drunks into open. And-so long former
bootleSgers can obtain licenses to retail liquor, and
present-day bootleggers purchase loads of
illegal" liquor from wholesale liquor dealers, to be
sold at night and on Sundays and holidays, we are
constrained to believe that the booteggers not
running so deeply under cover that they cannot be
found.
We have no respect for law which licenses an
unreformed crook and permits licensed wholesale
liquor dealer to sell liquor to men who do not hold
state licenses to operate as retailers of liquor.
Something must be done about liquor laws, or
the operation of same, or the whole works will go
the way of the famous dspensary system, which
became so rotten that decent citizens would not
stand for it..
There is something wrong with the present law,
or bootleggers could not enter the legal phase of
the liquor business. Where there is small "leaS"
so early in the operation of the law, we will soon
witness busted" dam, with the entire structure
crumbling away. South Carolina does not need
liquor money badly enough for our state tax COM
mission to take the money of Tom, Dick and Harry,
and issue to them licenses to sell liquor to our
citizens. If law-abiding men do not apply for il
censes, we should certainly see to it that they
not given to law-breakers. If a wholesale liquor
dealer sells liquor to man who does not hold IL
cense to retail liquor the legislature fast asleep
when the law was enacted, and if this feature was
taken care of in the enactment the enforcement
forces of the state are enjoying some good, sound
and refreshing sleep.-Rock Hill, S. c., Herald

THE CLEAREsT ROAD TO RECOVERY

The clearest road to recovery is after all, not
that which is opened UP by the government, but
ultimately resides in the individual capacities Of
the American people to drive through on the mo-
mentum of their own initiative.
The thought is cogently expressed by few cryp-
tic but convincing lines on the cover page of the
current issue of The Manufacturers Record which
follow:
"The power of government to improve condi-
tions is not a drop in the bucket compared with
the enormous prosperity making capacity that lies
in the natural tendency of business and industry to
make better products at lower cost, to distribute
them widely, and in the process to create more
jobs and higher wages. This natural capacity has
been impotent recently because of the fear and
uncertainty engendered among business men by
governmental interference"
That's an accurate and irrefutable statement OF
the case.
Business and industry not moving out be-
cause they are afraid of the future
Nothing would bring about more immediate
and stimulating activity on the part of captastic
interests than to have some reasonable assurance
that the government is created and will be operat-
ed helpfully for them instead of being forever
shopping around in hurtfu and hostile attitudes

DICTATORS STILL AWAIT THEIR

The lost liberties of the world have been

We get, therefore, in one country after

b. Italy puts its fate in the hands of Mus

themselves turning toward similar men.
81 And out of it all has grown feeling that

that people are not and cannot be capable
of solving their own problems in a complex
modern world, and that a regime in which

It is precisely in this connection that DR..
Oberholtzer is worth listening to; for he in

not a new, longtime trend in human al

Eventually, he predicts, the dictators
will demonstrate that they no more possess
the magic password to better world than
the people en- masse possess it; and when
that day comes, humanity will shake itself
vigorously and the dictators will go flying
