Ve>. sir. reading about ] what our legislature lias been doing.; I Did you see where some fellow wrote an article for The Record in which it was stated that a number of the members had not even read the prohibition or liquor bill, which ever you want to call it?1 reckon liquor bill would be a better name for it?just think about those whom we send down there to legislate for us passing such an important law as a liquor law and not even reading it to see what it contained. It is wonderful. That would have been a great joke if they had let that section 10 remain in the law by which every one who had even a small .bit of tiie stuff in his grip would have had label tlie grip. The fellow with the labeled grip would have had a great time uoing up and down the State with a label on his grip telling the people wherever he went that he had a little bit of booze therein, and the way he would have had friends would have been a caution. You know, I somehow have my doubts about the sentiment in this State being so overwhelmingly in i favor of prohibition anyway. I am in I - * dined to think that the overwhelming sentiment in favor of prohibition is prohibition for the other fellow, and the prohibitionist will order his own. One member said he understood the -entiirent to be for the gallon-a-month. Vnd I guess -he i> about right. But it all suits me fine. They have provided for the 60 pints of beer a month and that is enough and I wouldn't have cared if they had cut out all other hoozc. However, v.e must all admit that there is very little real prohibition r^out it. T am one who believes that ?iw. -,i Mm? of temnerance would be promoted by the use of good beer and H"ht wines, aftd that it would be bettei for the human system than to use so much dope. I have often wondered why a man when he was elected to the legislature was so keen to legislate about the personal rights and privileges of his fellows. He is just an ordinary human being like the rest of us?or rather he ' - ?Knf cnm^how was vvnen ne \\ as cicv.n.u after lie gets there?that is. some of 'em?seems to have become suddenly imbued with the idea that it is his burden and solemn and imperative duty to regulate everything by law for the rest of humanity. He has suddenly gotten a new vision and feels the duty resting on him to make laws to regulate the conduct of his one time equals, but now his inferiors and incapable of taking care of themselves. I say that is the ?" . ccvnptimf4';. J way 11 appcais iu m\. think I can recall one man that I heard ->f who was so impressed with the responsibility and the burden, and his wisdom, that he not only had the county he came from to tote, but that old atlas was bearing down on his shoulders. and he is beginning to stoop just a little under the load. It is not right to impose such burdens upon those whom we elect to make laws for us, ->"'1 i -n-n in fnvor of relieving many <11111 1 U U I *4. - _ _ )f them of this heavy load, and let us see if we cannot have it done without regulating everything from taking a glass of beer to riding on a free pass. But I notice that the governor is pleasi ed with the results of the work of the recent session of the legislature, and I reckon it is all right. The tax levyhas been reduced a half mill, but what puzzles me is how we are going to payback all that money the borrowing committee is authorized to borrow. I reckon it is to be paid without increasing the levy or the appropriation by continuing to borrow. If it is we must all commend the business ability and sagacity of the legislature. But let's talk about something else. I v/as reading a paper the other day, and r came across a little poem that sounds mv doctrine 'nigniy wen tu n,\., ,.v s to give rather to receive or take, I want to pass it on to the good people if this town of Newberry, and comriend the sentiment it contains to their prayerful coiteidei^Jtion.

Here, read this one: * SELL YOUR HAMMER AND BUY A HORN. Yes. sell your hammer and sell it cheap, If the thing won't sell, then bury it deep, For though living's high, and times afe tough, The market has more than hammers enough. Get a big horn and key it in G, Then blow, "All's right/' with a yessir-re. If the clouds hang low give a vigorous toot, When the game goes slow is the time to "root." <3r Shorlrl a rrntich come along witk St song forlorn, Just drown him out with your jubilant horn. j That's the way to he happy in this old world, No battle is won 'round a flag that is furled. A lovin/loi- RiirHMim ? ULAanuvi avnwuAM> ?o? ! Xow that sounds pretty good to me. How does it sound to you, kind reader? If you have a hammer and can't sell it, suppose you bury it so deep that no one can find it. And I -have been told that there are several otherwise very good people in Newberry who have hammers, and that they do not permit them to rust for want of use. Bury 'em, and bury 'em deep. Blow your horn! Whiltle Do anythinfi but knock. I reckon I am a sort of an?well, a peculiar sort of person? but I never * * * ? ?

I reckon though that they get some sort of pleasure out , of it all. I hope so. but I believe that the time will come in their lives that they will see the error of their way. Puf up your hammer. Bury it. Blow a horn. Whistle if you must. But when vnti dn make a noise?make joyful j and a hopeful and helpful sort of noise. Tune your old bugle or bag pipe, to the notes that make for the betterment of your own community. If you don't like it, or the way they do things , in the community, why pack your luggage and move on to more congenial climes and surroundings, but as long as r ?J 1 ; you are part 01 it, anu jum un_o.u and clothes out of the people who live then:, stop hammering them and all things that are being done to help you make a living. 0, well, that is the way it appears to me, and if you don't agree with me, or like what I am saying, why don't read it, and you won't know anything. about it. j The Idler.
