NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A FIRST CITIZEN

The News and Courier has said that more native
South Carolinians of conspicuous talents and
achievements in the last and living generations
have been or are citizens of other states than of
South Carolina. One could name dozens of them.
OF the foremost William Adror Law who
met his death by accident while hunting in North
Carolina last Tuesday. He was the son of the
Reverend Thomas H. Law, DID,, of Spartanburg,
long the stated clerk of the Southern Presbyterian
General Assembly, preacher and theologian of the
noblest character, and his mother was of the
Adgers of Charleston. He was graduated from
Wofford College, an institution which he held in
generous affection. He was student of DR.,
lanes H. Carlisle, and to be under the Influence
of that greater teacher and gentleman
blessing to any man.
When the general assembly provided stenogra
pher for the Seventh circuit, "Will Law, boy
then, was the first to hold the post, and General
William H. Wallace, another great gentleman and
scholar was the presiding judge of the circuit Law
had to make his way he had no me ley, but no
vounp man in South Carolina ever had better as
sociations He was one of the most accurate and
competent court stenographerS that the state has
had. He worked he was public-spirited citizen of
Spartanburg from the beginning OF his career. IN
five or six wears he had saved little money,
enough to found small but successful bank In his
town. Later he was called to a larger bank in
Florida and then. in a little while, to one of the
great banks in Philadelphia of which he became
president Then he made president of the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance company, an office
that he held to the end of his life
1t was full and useful life, untainted, manly,
straightforward as honest as the day. 1t was,
seemingly an effortless life in adherence to recti-
tude for so strong in his nature was the heritage of
high character that probably ne was seldom If ever
aware of temptation to depart from 1t.
We do not refrain from writing of him as an old
almost lifetime friend. He was faithful as long
as he lived to the South Carolinian traditions that
were his birthright and so, for that reason, the
great city of Philadelphia has lost one OF It's first

OFFENSIVE ADVERTISING

In South Carolina it is illegal to place liquor ad-
vertisements on bilboards.
Voluntarily the liquor interests have decided not
to carry liquor advertising over the radio, this &C
ton being in effect since the first of this year.
Liquor interests are now centering attention On
the elimination of liquor advertising from Sunday
newspapers and are also endeavoring to scatter the
LIQUOR ads throughout the week rather than having
them appear in such abundance in weekend issues
There is one more step that is bound to come
Just as it came prior to the days of national proh-
bition There will be ban on liquor advertising IN
newspapers. Whether this ban will come by volun-
tary action on the part of the liquor interests, or
will come by pressure from disguised public re-
mains to be SEEM Prior to national prohibition the
pressure of the reading public got so hot that but
few dailies carried any liquor advertising.
If billboards cannot by law carry liquor adver-
Using today in South Carolina if the radio chains
have been cleared of this offensive advertising why
is it possible for children in the homes to be in
fuenced by attractive liquor advertising in the taV-
orite daily newspapers Boys and girls of today
are being encouraged to drink through this insid
Gus manner of advertising and there is need for
an indignant public to ask that newspapers and
magazines be cleared of such copy that is offensive
to so large a number of homes.
1t was argued that when prohibition was repealed
there would be Saloons no influences tending to
make people drink. Of course it was deceptive
claim with no intention of fufillment. And oppon-
ents of the liquor traffic sit supnely by at present
and make no effort to correct evils of the day.

WHERE LIGHT is NEEDED

Why is it, one wonders, that the Federal govern
ment can take census of pretty much everything
under the sum- from the number of pennies that
now repose in savings banks to the number OF
termites that are said to be eating up the houses
of the land, and yet leave this most vital of all
problems, that of unemployment, on hit-or-miss
guess basis9
Why doesn't somebody know how many able
bodied men and women there are in this country
who are actually seeking work
One authority guesses that the number of such
is II 100000.
The American Federation of Labor says 49,
100000
The National Industrial Conference Board says
5000, 000-all of them rankest sort of guesses.
The Federal government which is trying to ham
die the mess ought to know.
1t has, apparently, the machinery to find out to
gnats heel anything else that the public is inter-
ested in and much it is not interested in.
Why continue, therefore, to handle this giant OF
problem on such willy-nilly basis of indefinite
informaton-Juhan Miller in Charlotte Observer.

FEDERAL SPENDING

Federal spending figures have climbed to such
heights that the average onlooker gets dizzy and
quits looking. .......
1t is possible, however, to break them down into
understandable terms. And when they get down
on this more intimate basis, they almost give one
a conclusion. .-.. '...
As, for instance, every time the Federal govern
ment spends $10,0OO,OOO, it is the equivalent of
lifting $50 from the pocket of every man, woman
and child in the country.
And if you want to get an adequate idea not only
of the vastness of such expenditures but of the in
creasing expansion of governmental costs, consider
this:
That in 1900 government expenditures in this
country per capita were only S2.O3.
And in 1885 they were $60.1S.-Julian Miller ii

GREAT TASK WELL DONE BY
KING GEORGE v
By BRUCE CATION

The reign of King George ' stands as
one Of history's most striking testimonials
to the fact that the simple force OF human
character can be one of the greatest pow
ers in the world.
Here was man who occupied the throne
of England during one of the most critical
periods any ruler anywhere ever had &c
face, It was his job to keep his throne safe
and his country reasonably cOntented, anu
TO do it he had hardly so much as the sna-
dow of real power.
And yet he succeeded, as far as success
was possible in those trying years, WhlL-
his fellow monarchs who had the power
which he lacked failed miserably.
Wilhelm, of Germany, who was war lord
and all-highest in fact as we'll as IN name
bungled things hopelessly and lied over
the borders to Holland. Nicholas OF Rus
STA. a genuine autocrat, died miseraoly IN
a suualid cellar in provincial town. Fran
els Joseph of Austria died in the full con-
seriousness that his polyglot empire would
inevitably fall apart in the hands OF his
successor.
But King George V of England, who
reigned, but did not rule kept his throne
and handed his heritage, unWeakened, on
to his son.
How did he do it? His kingdom went
through a war that bled it white. 1t sur
vived a semi-revoluntiOnary general strike.
It passed through the civil war out of which
the Irish Free State was born. 1t saw So
cialists in power in Downing street 1t
went through the world depression that
killed the founding democracy of Germ
any. ...
Altogether, the times were difficult
enough to jar any king from his throne
particularly a king who held the shadow
of power and not the substances, king
who was a mere figurehead, symbol OF
the idea of royalty.
And yet the outpOuring of public attec-
ton that flooded George V in the final
years of his life was without parallel in
English history. His people honestly low
ed MIN, as far as human beings can love
ruler.
At the close of his reign his throne rest
ed on the firmest base throne can occupy
the sincere affection of the ordinary
man in the street.
The answer to all this is that there was
something about this mans character that
was irresistible. His job was to be, rather
than to do; to be the prototype of the loyal
and honest English gentleman, the exemp-
lar of those virtues which make English
men proud of their empire. And that JOB
he performed superlatively we'll.
What a. man is, in the long run, speaks
louder than what he says. 1t was so with
King George of England.
sBy sheer force of character, he kept Eng
land in her traditional groove. In its own
way, it is an accomplishment as great as
that any of his predecessors could achieve.
