C., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1921 NEWSPAPERS MAKE MEN Many people imagine that the prominence of great men is due entirely to their own genius. But its is not so. In this age the most brilliant o? men would be practically unknown except for the work of the press in following their careers step by step and reporting them to the coun try at large. Newspapers have been known to pick up men of just ordinary intelligence and make them gover inors, or place them in other offices of honor and respon sibility. They are commonly known as favorites of the newspaper. More often it is simply because they are will ing to allow the paper to dictate certain policies and ap pointments. But few men ever succeed in getting, into public office against the hostility of their party press. The press makes or unmakes them when it so desires. It is not that the editor is a man of such superior intelli gence that he towers above the rest of mankind. Far from it. We of the fraternity claim to be no more than or dinary humans who are trained in the arts.of observation, analysis and dissemination. No public man is ever so per fect but what the editor can unearth glaring flaws in his career. It is the analyzing and disemination ;) these flaws that puts him out of the running. This the editor can do or not, as he desires. On the other hand, every public official possesses cer tain admirable traits of which *the public knows but little. If the press keeps these things to the fore it is only a mat ter of time energetic service when the official becom'es what is known as a "made mian." FotunatIely most editors are rather human. They know the weaknesses of public men, but they do not ex pect perfection in any one. They are content to give a fel-.1 low a fair show, and if he makes reasonably good they boost him along. If not, th ey generally permit him to gracefully retire at the end of his term, unless his acts are such as to warant condemnation and exposure. It is not the w\ill of the editor alone that decides these things. It is the fact that the editor places his informa tion before the peol)le and they render their own judg ment. It is in this Way only that the press makes anad un makes. Men But it does it, just the same.

While spokesmen for the packers admitted that more employez had joined the walk-out, they also asserted that part of those that went out Mon day had returned an dthat there was no difficulty in hiring men. In other packing centers of the country rep re'sentatives of the "big five" packers reported , that the strikers returning to work while the officials of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North' -America, which called the strike, said the ranks of the strikers were being augument ed. Union Chief's Statement Cornelius Haynes, president of the' meat workers, tonight said that 12,000 workmen were on strike here. He said no definite figures were available for other sections but that more men were out than on Monday when . the union estimated 29,000. workmen were on strike outside Chicago. Figures made public by the packers showed that they admitted only about 2,500 men were on strike here. 100 LIVES LOST, IS REPORT Berlin, Dec. G.-It is reported that 100 persons lost their lives today as the result of the explosion of an oil tank in the Nobel Dynamite Works at Saarlouis, Rhenish Prussia. The' works are burning. SEX FAMIIAARIrY, DANCES AND MOTION PICTURES ARE SCORED Greenville, Dec. 6.-That the mod ern dance is leading many to wreck age and ruin, that the motion picture industry is not seriously undertaking its own reformation and its possibili ties for good and also for (lire evil are great, that familiarity between the sexes among people of all ages is increasing and that there seems to be a breaking down of the finer spiritual sensibilities among the peo ples which permits of the discussion of topics freely which would not have been mentioned in society as recently as six years ago--statemenis to this effect and others regarding public morals of today were made by Dr. R. C. Granberry, of GalYney chairman of a committee on social service and public morals in a report to the State Baptist Convention here today. The convention opered its session this morning and it will continue through Thursday. Adoption of this report on public morals, together with a sermon tonight by the Rev. J. Dean Crain, featurCd the three ses sions of the day. Several hundred Baptists from all parts of South Carolina are jn attendance. Dr. Granberry in his report said, that he and his commit tee are not pessimists because t hey believ'e in .Jesus Christ stressedl the fact that. much advancement in the right dlirec tion is being miade in the present so cial order. Regarding thle modern dance, the motiomn pictures, t he re lationship between the sexes and oth er matters, howvever, he urged that the time was at hand for the church to take a hand. "I know that i tis customary for church people to quiet ly acqunesce in the dant-e situation,'" he said, "bhut that must. change.'" P roh ibi tion, t~he committee declared is ai great success, nlot withstanding t he fact that the light with the liquor t rallic is not yet finishedc. In creasing profanity and i mproper CYPRESS SASH DOORS BLINDS MOULDINGS1 AND MILL WORK 666 is a prescription for Colds;, Fever atnd LaG ripp)e. I's the muost speedy remedy wco knmvw observance of th' Sabbath also were discussed. Tie 'convention adopted the repqrt of the committee. At another point in the convention, L. E.,Campbell, of Newberry, created a sensation when in the midst. of plea that laymen given more time preaching, he said: "Let; the jadies dress as they please. We are what you lile. God bless you, let' quit preaching so much about silk stock ings, 'rouge and leg shows and preach the Gospel of :Jesus Christ, which will save us from all sin.i' In his annual address, J. J. Law town, of Hartsville, urged the neces sity for faith, hope, religion, work, economy and optimism iq working to a, solution of present work problems. Senator E. C. Ridgall, of Batesburg, stated to the convention that ehe lay men in the church are doing more work today than ever before, and E. P. Vandiver, banker, of Anderson, de livered an interesting address along 4imilar lines. Regarding the work of th'e wo'men through the Woman's Missionary Un ion Dr. William L. Ball, of Spartan burg said', that the women are lead ing Loth the laymen and the preach ers, andl he parised them highly for their efforts and for the results they nip achieving. Mrs. J. D. Chapman, of Anderson the State president, and other officers were introduced. A re port proposing that the Baptists of North and South Carolina take charge of the Spaulding Orphanage, at Kings Creek, S. C., is yet to acted upon. Follow up work in the Baptist 75 million campaign is to' be one of the chief topics for discussion tomor row. The convention late tolay voted to appoint women as members of boards of trustees of women's colleges and academies in this State. The Convention voted to investigate the proposal that a two-acre grave yard near Society Hill be purchased and maintained as "God's Acre." SUMMERION NEWS NOTES In our last letter we said that we had a thousand and one things in our mind to write about. But we would leave off the thousand and write about the one and we did.
