THE MANNING -TIMES. Entered at the Postoffice at Manning as Second-Clss Matter. Appelt & Shope, Proprietors. Published Every Wednesday Subscription Rates $2.00 per year in Advance M ANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1921 OUR BIG FOUR 'iThe appintiment of Secretary of State Hughes, Senator Lodge, Senator Underwood and Elihu Root to represent the United States at the coming dis armament conference places our national interests in the hands of able and experienced men. They are not men who can be bluffed, cajoled or hood winked. They are not men who will exchange something for nothing, nor will they expect it of others. We believe them to be men who will go into the conference with open minds, clear consciences, and two great objects in view-the limitation of ar maments and the settlement of the far eastern question on an equitable basis that is fair and just to all nations and to all peopiles. If the delegates from other countries come to us in the -same spirit there is hope that some good may result from the conference. But if they come as they went to Paris, with the secret determination to wrest every possible advantage for their own governments regardless of the rights of others, then the conference is fore doomed to failum4 and the only thing left for this country to do will be to train armie; and nianufacture munitions of war. Ins such a contingency it will be a case of tight or perish. THAT DELICATE QUESTION This is a "dry" country--it least in spots. We drink water-also in spots. Foreign countries are almost universally "wet." They drink wine, champagne and beer. To them water is good for ducks and baths. The bringing of booze into this country is unlawful and is punishable by fine and imprisonment. A conference of envoys from many nations is to be held in Washington in November by invitation of the president. This con ference is expected to provide a means of preserving the world intact for fu ture generations. These livoys are accustomed to their wine and liquors with their meals, just as we are to our tea, coffee or water. It is a habit bred into them from infancy. To dispense with it would be a great hardship to them as the deprivation of coffee would be to as. A re they to be allowed to bring their liquors in violation of our laws, or will th y be politely advised in advance that water is good for them, as well as for ducks and haths? And itf they do bring it, will they further violate our laws by standing treat to the thirsty multitudes of Washington? A i envoy from another government is immune from arrest, and his bag gage is not subject to search. Yet the bringing of contraband into this country constitutes an affront to the president of the United States. It is a delicate question, yet it will undoubtedly be solved in some mniner without undut tibarrassment to our distinguished visitors. We fear, however, that when they reach Washington they will find themselves possessed of more "friends" than they ever dreamed of having before. There are times wvhen that ..ful thirst" respects neither law nor person. - --- - --00- - -- - ARE WE DEGENERATING? h" constant an1d unending streami i of miuriders, robberies, pilfeirings, breacha of trust, divo-ces, scandals, and other off-colo.irings of humanity por traetd in the daily press lead rmar1y to the belief that the American people as a irlce .1e deteiior: iig.
