WHAT SHALL WE DO?
'{ Gov. 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

'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.
