Cooper is quoted as saying , before the sheriffs and solicitors and other peace officers in Columbia on Wednesday that there had been at least one homicide in South Carolina for every day since the first oi January this year. That is a prettj bad record. And yet since that address the average has been more than made. There seems to be a wave of crime sweeping over the entrie country. Human life is very cheap. Just what is to be done it is t.n sflv. The first great thing is to get the human heart right. There can be no peace until there *is a desire for peace in every heart of every person. There can be no decrease in crime until the desire to do wrong is removed. Conv&ting the criminal nor hanging the murderer does not seem to act very much as a deterrent. Enforcing the law does not stop it. Create a sentiment for law and order? That is good, but how are you going to do it. The truth of the matter is, we believe that there is too much of a tendency to regulate everything by law. We do not believe that you will cbe a^le to create the proper public sentiment for right conduct so long as there must be so much effort to odo everything by force of law. People forget the right principles that should regulate their conduct, and get an idea that if they can get by the law that it is all right and they have done nothing wrong, and will take the chance of- being run down ' by the officers. There are so many laws that it becomes a very common thing to violate the law. The vlaw becomes common. In fact, the very best of our citizens violate some law every day, and do it without the knowledge that they are violating law. We b&tfeve if there was less law and1 less effort to regulate every* thing by law, that there would be less crime, and the average citizen would have more regard for the property and the person of others. It would be easier to create a-right sentiment for right conduct, and there would be less wrong doing. Certainly there is need for right thinking and for right conduct, and that something should be done to bring ab^ut a better state of affair3. Instead of the dread of the heavy hand of the law there should rather be the dread of the heavy condem, nation of public sentiment. ' _ THE SOLUTION OF THE SOCIAL PROBLEMS. All sorts of elaborate means are proposed for solving me contests oetween labor and capital, but too often the one essential method is forgotten, perhaps because of its simplicity. An Ohio manufacturer recently arrived at the conclusion that it was the best possible solution after he had investigated the matter in a novel way. Theodore Knappen, as summarized in the Presbyterian Banner, tells how he "Donned overalls the day after the armistice was signed and lived the life of a common laborer for the next five months. He went to Pittsburg, put up at a working man's boarding house, stood in line waiting for employment at a steel mill until !?<? it did the work of a common laborer day after day. His purpose was to view the labor problem from the bottom up. His general conclusion was that a good, steady job,, good pay, and decent, human treatment are the desiderata with laboring men. Very few of them entertain grandiose ideas of reforming industry by fundamental legislation. He didn't encounter a single Bolshevist and met few socialists. The Golden Rule is his remedy for labor and capital troubles."?The Lutheran. This is the best solution for most any of the troubles that we have in this world. Jf every one who employs labor, and every one who is employed, would at various and" sundry times endeavor honestly to place himself in the other fellow's place, and ask himself how he would like to be treated if positions weVe reversed, and ask himself the question honestly and truly, and answer it in the same way, most of the problems that we have, would be solved, and solved righteously and justly and without any trouble. The truth is, the golden rule is the nnlv trnp and riffht rule bv which tc regulate human conduct, but the trouble is that most of us are too selfish to apply it properly and rightly What we all need to do is to stand on the corner every now and tken and watch our noble * selves go by, 'and see just how we Isok. If the golden rule was properly applied and lived by all of us there would be no problems that we would :have to wrestle with, because they would solve themselves. j Whenever you come t.p deal with ! your fellowman in any capacity, make 'an honest effort to put yourself in his place, and then ask yourself hon! estly how you would like to be treatled if positions were reversed and you | will not go far wrong in your deal. ings if you are honest with yourself. [ j The best test and the surest way t; to know just how you would feel if . you were in the other fellow's place . | is to do as this Ohio manufacturer ! did, and then you will know from exJperience something of what the oth' ? 'I ? ... D n-t f a o ; cr ICJIUVV JLCC1S. JJUU 111 V1UC1 I/V uu , this thing properly we must strive hard and honestly to overcome the old self which holds sway and completely dominates mcst of us. ; The woods are full of candidates for the seat of Congressman Lever of the Seventh district, and the race promises to be a lively one this .time. j Better attend to the matter of your subscription to The Herald and 1 -1 - Al-_ ? i i\ews wnxie uie paper may uc w^om;ed for a year at the low price of ! $1.50. All who do not renew by the first of September will be taken off jthe list. And remember that any subscriber may obtain the paper for a year at the same price if he pays before that time. We take pleasure in extending our .felicitations to Congressman 'Lever on his promotion to membership in the farm loan board, that is, if it is , really a promotion. There is a better salary, and in these times that rnnntR for much. There is a loneer term, and that is something. But somehow we hate to see "Mr. Lever leave congress. And the way! in wfcich the people of his district voted for him in the last primary he seems to have been very much a favorite down in his .district. At any rate we | wish him mighty well wherever he may be, and we know that he will do his duty in whatever position he may be placed. ! Senator Dial seems to have made a "killing" with the newspaper correspondents over in Washington, espe Ciaiiy tnose oi our papers aown in this neck of the woods. He gets j"played up" nearly every day. It may be that he is doing big things jup in Washington, and we hope that he is, but we sometimes wonder what has become of "Cotton" Smith, and if we have any congressmen over jthe^e from down in South Carolina. jMr. Dial seemed to be the only one ,who had anything to do with the appointment of a judge, and he was | satisfied that he had done the right 1%a IaaIta/) attai* 4-Via 11erf* *A*f 1 ULUJlg AXIfCl luvncu vtvi vuv vj. 'applicants, and that is something worth while. And we reckon he was right. I And we notice that he is going to have something done about these postmastership appointments down 'here that have been held up so long. I And really just the other day there |were several appointments sent in. i Newberry will have attention very soon, we suspect. WELCOME SOLDIER BAND. (By Samuel Patrick Koon.)
