SIGNIFICANT

South Carolina members of congress will be in
terested in the significant fact that a large ma
jority of the judiciary committee of the South
Carolina house of representatives voted unfavor-
able reports on two resolutions endorsing Presi-
dent Roosevelts plan for increasing the supreme
court.
This state gave Roosevelt 80 per cent of its
votes for his first election and for his reelection
1t is the most nearly unanimously Democratic of
all states.
But it is not slavshly bound to any man and
when it feels that it's hero has erred it is prepared
to part company with him on the issue.
Unfortunately it often is slow to discover the
hero's error but in this case it is making progress
in that direction fast.
The action of these house members is an impOr-
tant straw in the wind.-Greenville Piedmont

NEWSPAPERS :;ijIl,S;jI a '. OPINIONS
IN WHICH Mr.. KENT is RIGHT

Among many things that our columnst FRANK
Kent writes with which we are not IN agreement
one recent remark hits the buls-eye and Is worthy
of universal acceptation in this country
"In former days it was supposed to be q caroihai
virtue in public man to prevent waste OF the pun
lie funds" he writes.
To-day he is treated as something reprehensioie'
That such a state of affairs can exist without
public concern is the best evidence OF the degree
to which the popular mind has been anesthe'i|eu
by sOggy sentimentality. ...' y.
Emergency spending, taxes and the national oe''
have marched inexorably to new high records
The magnitude of this spending has given the
average citizen an entirely false idea of economic
values.
Where, q generation ago, We regarded mhhoh
dollars as lot of money, we now read ABOUT Dill
lions with little or no thought
Where once the country was stirred by the Use
of the federal debt to the million dollar marx we
today view federal debt of thirty-hve billions
with eQuanimity.
Where a single congress that generation ago
appropriated as much billion dollars Tor Il
years federal spending once denounced Tor
extravaganza we now take ten-billion dollar con-
gress for granted.
Perhaps "soggy sentimentality' is not the best
phrase to be used of that attitude, but by what-
ever name it may be called it represents grow
ing RIGHTEOUSNESS in the public mind as to none
tary values and the implications of free-and-easy
use of money.
When the great government of the United States
is setting such an example in prodlgality~of TINS
nature it is not astonishing that it should be get
ting into the bloodstream of the people OF TINS
country.
Unchecked, it will lead to far-reachng sins, both
with Government and Observation-Disclosures OBJ

Q-April ii. On this day. ChieI
y Justice Charles Evans Hughes
becomes rs years old. Hughes
has written that "the risk OF
having judges who are unable
properly to do their work. and YET
insist on remaining on the bench
is too great to permit chances te
be TAKEN" He added that "a COM
pulsory retirement at rs could be
more easily defended" than a re-
tirement age of 70. Hughes might
decide he should live up to this
theory, or he might decide he has
no right to quit at this time, while
the court is under fire. Public
attention probably will be called
to those old statements OF Hughes

DRIVE AGAINST BAR.MAIps

If the figures supplied by the Anti-saloon league
are accurate, the statement of Associate General
Superintendent o. G. Chrstgau of that organiza-
ton to the effect that there are "about three girls
engaged in selling liquor for every one in college,
reveals a condition that is surprising This Anti
Saloon executive estimates the total barmaids en-
ployed at approximately 100000 to fewer thar
$50, 900 SO7edsr rE
The league plans drive for laws to prohibit
girls working as barmaids and hostesses in saloons
and taverns. The presence of so many girls EN-.
ployed in such places is doubt due to the spring
ing up of another modern problen,-the roadhouse
which follows in the wake of the motor car and
this speed age.-Spartanburg Journal.

WHEN MEN GROW OLD

Commonly men grow better as
they grow old. Usually they have
less to hold them down spiritual
ly. Most of them are relieved of
certain urges which are respon-
sible for most Of the moral turpi-
tude. Some old men are courteous
and kindly because they have nei-
Their the inclination nor the pow
er to back up the opposites Of
those qualities. And the older a
man grows the more likely he is
to realize what life is all about
and to discern the Importance of
the higher laws and the value of
living by them.

Dear Mr.. Sumner: You seem to

anced. If you believe me he is
not the only one, you Democrats
to my way of thinking. You did
not only vote men that were dead,
but people that were not yet born.
/ can't tell whether they will be
men or women, and little you care.
You haven't proven as yet that
they did not vote the dead.
You say that the statement is
false when he said dollar is
worth only 35 cents. You are cor
rect for in some respects it is not
worth 50 cents. As for borrowing
money. ] have never seen the day
when could not borrow money.
You say that the entire Consti-
tuition has never been out of your
house. | am sorry to say that #
you have endorsed some of the
rotten things going on in this gov
eminent that you are not living
IN to that old sacred Constitution
you are prizing and hold so dear.
Mr.. Sumner, you seem to be
about 70 years of age. ] guess
there are other men that old in
this country that know sugar from
salt.
Will YOU get a Bible to go with
your Constitution and read it. See
! if it does not teach that YOU will
l.receive when you ask in His name.
| take the stand to say that Mr..
Heatherlv's statement is true. You
seem to be mighty careful to warn
him about adding to the scripture.
The same Revelation put the same
judgment on one that denies or
takes away. Are you a Christian?
DO You know the Christ? If so,
YOU will serve Him instead of this
rottcn country in which you and
! live.
You refer to Mr.. Ewbank's let
ter. Do you think that Heatherly
or anyone else with goose sense
| would listen to you or Ewbank?
Hope that you will study the
Constitution and find out that
everything that has ever been ac-
complished worthwhile was done
by the Republicans.

Mrs Ruth Farrell, wife of V.R. Farrell, Office of Indian Affairs head at Nome, who returned by plane from Kotzebue after mak- ing the trip to Point Barrow aboard the M. s. North Star, tells of numerous interesting sights & experiences witnessed on the voy age.
 The vessel left Nome August 31st stopping first at Teller where MT. and Mrs. Howard Burhker and two boys boarded the ship for Barrow. From there the ves- sel proceeded to Kotzebue were MT. and Mrs. Ripley, and Mir. and Mrs. Arnold came aboard. Also Public Survey Engineers Berlin Grasser and Nelson were passen- gers to Pt. Barrow.
