I With the town of Lancaster Groins $70,000 strong for munici- > pal impiv vements, it does seem that the town of Fort Mill could afford to issue the comparatively insignificant sum of $15,000 in bonds for a water system without any serious consequences to the taxpayers. The Charlotte Observer warns South Carolina newspapers that if they do not want to elect Blease to the United States Benate they had better let him alone?that is, they had better quit advertising him. Seems to us that The Observer said something like this about a year ago. If before every Fourth of July all cities and towns were given a thorough cleaning of rubbish, and all use of explosives then restricted as to time and place, the police and public wardens might have at least a fighting chance to minimize the disastrous results of our public folly during the years it may require to inspire in nnr rwtnlo n Hociro fnr u rational ? I-VVK- ? - " I kind of celebration. And such a desire must be inspired. It is the duty of every city to arrange for its people suitable amusements or exercises definitely calculated to educate them in a rational observance of this historic holiday. Habits of folly : can be most easily eliminated by | a substitution of something better. The things a city can do to interest its citizens in a sane and wholasome celebration are unlimited. and the municipalities which in the past two years have taken steps in this direction are already receiving national praise for their wisdom and their high sense of civic responsibility. Some startling statistics were i given recently regarding the divorce evil in our country. More than seventy thousand children, j mostly under the age of nine years, were deprived of one or both parents in the United States during tj^e past year, says an exchange. More than one hundred thousand divorces were granted in the United States alone during 1912. In forty years three million seven hundred thousand adults were separated by divorce and more than five millions of Dersons were Affected by these cases. Illinois Alone provided 120,000 divorces, Pennsylvania 55,760, California 50,000, and New York, 45,450. New York State, however, sent 18,169 of its couples into other States to procure divorces, and there were probably many migratory cases that are not recorded in this total. At present 90 per cent of the cases go by default, j with only one party represented. In this, as in other matters, the violation of God's law entails terrible suffering upon many innocent parties. Of course there is no rule against a man spending his money in any way he chooses, so long as he does not spend it in a way detrimental to the interests of the public. But there is always something regrettable about the expenditure of money in a way which seems to promise little in the way of returns. We fear that there is in store for the gentlemen who are behind the proposition to establish another newspaper for York county some very costly experience, which will lead to the loss of considerable money. According to the last Federal census there are less than 25,000 white people in York 9 ? \ county. With one daily, three semi-weeklies and one weekly newspaper, the circulation of each of which probably averages in the neighborhood of 1,500 in f Vin /lAtinf tr f/v wpivo in hue vv/uiikjr, iw ou(j|Sijr the needs of our people, it would appear that the field for newspaper endeavor in the county is already pretty well preempted. However, this is a free country, and it is entirely within the province of men with money to start the publication of as many newspapers as they wish to. But it is certain that the newspaper readers of York county will inquire as to the motive for the publication of another paper before quitting: in its behalf the papers already here. "Rome ti America." Taking as a basis for its remarks the Charlotte school board's declaration against Catholic teachers in the public schools of that city,t he Waxhaw Enterprise has the following to say editorially: "This question of the Roman church is no longer a religious one. The doctrines for which the Roman church stand are in direct opposition to the principles of religious liberty and democratic or representative government. They hold the pope to be the highest temporal and religious ruler whose edict is more powerful than that of all other kings and parliaments. They believe in unity of church and State, or rather they do not believe in any State. They are opposed to the Bible being read in the public schools. They are opposed to the people knowing anything about it. "The Roman Catholic church is losing out in Europe. Italy, France, Spain and other countries once wholly >under its absolue power, are how entirely or nearly free from Catholic denomination' in government. With pernicious energy the church transfers the tight across the Atlantic to America. And this question of church and State government is I one of the two paramount issues: that the next half century must| decide. The other is the ques- j tion of race life, but more of1 that at another time. "Some of esteemed exchanges are pleased to refer to the action of the Charlotte board as one of religious bigotry. This is unjust and unfair.
