NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
sPARTANBURG GRAND JURY

The Spartanburg grand jury, in its final present.
ment for November term of county criminal court,
calls for an aroused public sentiment in support OF
law and order. The grand jury reported that boot
Logging is worse than ever that deaths from auto
mobile accidents are increasing with drunken driv-
ars in evidence, and that the number of juvenile
criminals is increasing
And Spartanburg county is not alone In this
upfavorabe picture. From all sections of the state
come the same findings according to reports.
The Spartanburg grand jury makes the follow
ing comment: Law and order in any community
i only as strong as the citizens want 1t 10 be, and
are willing to support it." Most assuredly this Is
true But il is not all the truth. When South Caro-
vocateS of such law were loud in proclaming
tina, it would slow down. probably put an end TO
blind tigers. That such advocates were mistaken Is
proven by the situation in Spartanburg and other
sections Drunkenness has increased, blind tigers
have increased. And we believe the chief trouble
lies in the lap of the liquor traffic
The Spartanburg grand jury report directs at
;ention to the fact that crime in the county is be-
coming i racket" through flimsy, insecure bonds
loosely granted; suspended sentences allowing
known violators to Immediately return to their ac-
,ivi,y in crime. easy paroles and leave of absence
True. we believe. and the conditions should be
faced by all honest citizens.
II the grand jurors all over the state would face
The issue and speak out as has the Spartanburg
Grand Jury. it would mark the beginning of better
law observance and 4 great reduction in the crime
record We are making.-Union Times.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN THE CAMPAIGN

But IecnnoIogIcaI unrInpTVy
ment is only one OF the explana-
tons why there are still between
5000, 900 and 100000 unem-
ployed. (The U. S. Chambers
special committee says there are
only 100000 available for en-
ployment, but that seems low.
WPA officials say il merely sp-
proximates the minimum estimate
of unemployed who aren't on
WPA or home relief rolls.)
A very large factor is the birth
rate, for which captains Of indus
try can hardly be blamed. II il

SOUND THEORY AND PRACTICE

The sound principle of government federal and
state is 10 tax all the people much the traffic
will bear. but tax only few Of them directly, in
way that they will be aware Of, SO that the vast
numbers who furnish the majorities in elections
shall not become disconnected and resentful and
vote the wrong way. They must not be allowed to
discover the hole in their pocketbcoks. As long
as that is the case the politicians will have social
sccurity.-CharlcSton News and Courier

'oLp.FAsHIoNED' WINTER HAS ITS
CONVERSATIONS
(By BRUCE CATION

Officials of the l.. S. Weather Bureau
hate to do any long-range forecasting, out
the other day they did break down and
admit that we seem TO be in for an old
fashioned "earmuff' winter.
This, they fastened TO point out. was
only guess. but it is the best guess avaiIa-
BILE and it looks like very good one.
And for a guess like that we ought TO
be thankful. For an earmuff winter is part
of those good old days to which we are so
anxious to get back. Ii We could get a
good taste of one, we might be able to pre-
tend that this puzzling. cityized. chrom-
ium-plated modern world of ours had ac-
tuallv gone back to a simpler and easier
manner of living.
To make it complete, OF course. we
would need law or resettlement admin
istration or something to enable everyone
in the land 10 take advantage OF 1t. South
erners don't get earmuff winterS-though
they have manifold compensationS for the
Lakeland city folk get cheated out of WIN
ter's enjoyment But we can't have every
thing, and for what We do get we should
be thankful.
II Is funny thing, how We shy away
from winters. We remember the agony OF
getting out of bed in an Arctic tempera-
ture. the Singing pain of frost-nipped feet,
and slush and the horrible, dead-gray'
dirt-ahd-snow mixture that fills the city
streets, and announce that we could get
along, forever without any more of 1t. But
wintef-especially in the country - is
administration.
Il is infinitely beautiful to look at. for
one thing. Fields and hills are transformed
by their rolling white blanket; leafless
plots of woodland stand out with the clear
cut tracery of lines on Japanese print !;
all the harsh angles of things are rounded
off: the litter and the needless uglineSs
with which man surrounds his dwellings
are covered, and there is sparkle and
glitter to the land which suggests that the
world was made only day before yester-
day.
Then, for the cold and the shivers, there
are compenSations. Getting out OF oeo OH
a cold morning may be painful-but what
about getting into bed on cold winter
night? What about relaxing in chair be-
fore the FIRE in the evening, and beng IN.
efably snug and coy while blizzard
bowls outside? What about sitting dowr
70 breakfast of buckwheat cakes anc
sausage which can be eaten with clear
conscience because of the zero weather
Are these nothing?
We need not mention the things tn'
Youngsters can do-the coasting. the skat
ing, the skiing, the tunneling thru DRIFTS
the sleigh riding. We can touch but orieii!
on the beauty of winter nights, with grea
stars overhead and the packed snow creak
ing underfoot. These things are merei!
added compensations,
