NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TOURIST CAMPS

Recommendation is made by the grand jury OF
Laurens county that the legislature "enaet suit
able and proper laws for the licensing and regua-
ton of such places Tourist camps) in order that
communities may not be offended, nor the travel
ing public engaged in lawful business be hampered
or nconvenienced in the securing of decent accom-
modations with decent surroundings" r.. -
The proposal was made by the jury in its pre-
sentiment to the court after il had reported that it
had found some tourist camps in its county were
resorts 'for idle, disSolute and immoral persons,
and that the maintenance of such establishments in
some instances is becoming very obnoxious
Existing laws forbiddng the operation of public
nusances ought to cover the ground very well,
provided they are backed up with proper enforce
ment, but further legislation toprovide regulations
specifically applying to tourist camps would be in
order ''
Some states have adopted laws on the subject,
requiring among other things that each camp keep
n register of guests and otherwise meet the gem
eral requirements applicable to hotels and inns.
Such law in South Carolina would not elimi-
nate the Objectionable features against which the
Laurens grand jurors complain unless enforcement
BY officers was thorough, and doubtless enforce
ment would be better if the officers had clear,
specific law applicable to tourist camps under which

Operators of respectable tourist camps, who
doubtless are in a large majority, probably would
be the first to welcome such observation-disclosures

rwApDLE-AND DIscREDITABLE

One reads much twadde about the Constitution
of the United States being flexible and living
thing" subject to any and all kinds Of nterpreta-
ton according to the change whim of the time.
The Constitution is written instrument. Words
and sentences do not adapt themselves to new con-
ditions Even if a word loses takes on an en-
larged and new meaning in the course OF century,
the meaning that it had when it was written binds
its judicial interpreters. There have been no
changes of meaning in the words of the Constitu-
ton. When Judge swears that he will uphold the
Constitution he will uphold what the words mean
TO him. If that he shall not do he will be forsworn.
Some of the words and sentences OF the Consti-
tuition are susceptible of different interpretations
That is whv honest men, McReynolds and Bran
deis NAV differ in decisions But most OF the WORDS
and sentences are clear, unequivoeal, have but one
possible meaning; and to say that a judge may
twist This meaning warp it to fit new conditions Is
another way OF saying that judge may and ought
TO be an upright, conscientious and patriotic liar
The day may come when the women ought not to
vote. but could that judge in deereeing
that "the right to vote shall {. be abridged on
account Of sex?" The greater part of the Consti-
tuition is just that clear.
The states may amend the Constitution. 1t is a
dangerous thing to do Those who rail at the
judges of the supreme court are disingenuous or
ignorant. They are railing at the Constitution it.
| SELF If the states do not like the Constitution
they should do away with it. To call judges to
repeal their consciences is childish discredtable to
Americans. Charleston News and Courier.

LIoUoR-REvENUE VS.. REFORM

Three wears of repeal finds state governments
in the United States seeking revenue rather than
social welfare in the administration of their new
responsibility. High taxes, often levied without
sufficient discrimination between light and heavy
drinks. make bootegging profitable. As much as
so per cent of the increasing drink demand is es-
timated to be supplied by bootleggers and other
Illicit trafickets.
This Indictment comes with the force of high
and unbiased authority. 1t is the documented find
ing of research workers who have spent more than
two wears travelling throughout the country to
study the various state systems of liquor control
Under the title; "After Repeal Leonard V. Har-
rison and Elizabeth Lame publish their findings
with copious tables and notes on state liquor ad-
mnistrations.
Government in the liquor business, and making
the traffic pay all it can bear, does not promise
well for realizing the still unfuflled promises OF
repeal. The saloon is coming back. Bootleggers
and speakeasies are stn with us. Even the eX-
pected revenue from taxing the liquor traffic is
below estimates, because of the Illicit traffic And
according to this survey, "there is unquestionably
a greater consumption of alcoholic beverages"
Only one promise of repeal is partially fulfilled
the diversion to government of revenue. But
this revenue Is itself danger. The liquor traffic
is running true to form; it is again corrupting
government, this time from the inside. Plainly the
American people must renew active efforts to COM
bat this public enemy. And the first step is to get
the facts of the present situaton.-Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

DEVELOPED FROM WITHIN

"The abundant life does not come to those who
have all obstacles removed from their paths by
Others" said DR.. W. M. Lewis, president of Lafay

ut develops from within and is rooted in strong
mental and moral fiber" ~ .-...
Nothing truer was,ever said. High character and
the capacity to do and accomplish does not come
to those who lead an easy and pampered life.
Poverty is not essential, certainly, for the pro-
duction of great mean, nor are riches necessarily
a handicap. Either of these conditions, however,
may be the obstacle whish viii prevent the album
dant life for one who has not the native character
and ability to surmount it.
American history contains the names of many
men who have come into the abundant life from
homes of poverty and from the homes OF wealth,
and it does not require anything more than the
most casual knowledge of them to Know that what
they are and have has been developed from within
and is "rooted in strong moral and mental fiber"

WASHINGTON K One of the
" reasons John l.. Lewis and the
United Mine Workers are citing
President Bill Green of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor for trial
is that this is one Of Lewis ideas
Of having fun
Another reason is that Lewis,
in the great battle between the
Committee for Industrial Organi-
cation and the federation. believes
it's good tactics to harasS, the
enemy
And still another reason is that
Lewis was more than willing to
expose the phoniness Of persistent
reports Of peace negotiations and
practically close the door against
any compromise gestures from
the A F of L. convention at
Tampa, where the c / o unions
will not be represented
Mr. Green may not be in so
silly q position as the c l o.
leaders privately insist he is. but
his position Is extremely peculiar
Just the same
II is even more peculiar since
ne was cited for trial than it was
before
Mr. Green must be a member Of
an a. F, Of L. union to be an A..
F OF l.. officer. He is a member Of
the United Mine Workers. but that
Union has been suspended from
the federation by Mr. Green and
other members of the federation's
executive council and the chances
are that II will soon be expelled.
QUESTION as to MIR Green's
( eligibility to be president con-
tinues to be raised Now the U.
NJ w comes along to point out
that. as far as il is concerned. Mr..
