TIIIJKSOAY, JUIiY 29. 1920.
The responsibility for the enforcement
of low and order In Fort Mill
la placed by council largely upon
the shoulders of the mayor. A reasonable
conclusion therefore is that
the mayor should have a large voice
In the selection of the police officers
of the town. If officers are chosen
with whom the mayor cannot work In
harmony, the town suffers to thnt
extent. Some weeks ago council
passed a traffic ordinance designed
in the main to protect the public
from the dangers of reckless motor
vehicle driving. The ordinance has
been honored more in the breach
than In the observance, due, it Is
claimed, to the failure of the officer
charged with the rounding up of law
violators to bring cases against them.
The mayor's hands were tied; he had
no authority to make changes In the
police force. This authority should
he given hint.
Whatever may he said of Mr. Aryan's
attitude toward Governor Cox
and the platform adopted at San
Francisco, the Democratic party Is
fortunate that he refused to accept
the nomination for the presidency
offered him a few days ago by the
prohibitionists at Dincoln, Nob. Mr.
Bryan seems to have lost most of
his following in the South and It.
would have made little difference In
this section if he had become the.candidate
of the prohibitionists, but another
story would have been told by
the election returns in tthe Central
West and perhaps in other sections
of the country where he still can
command many votes and where his
strength would have been more largely
drawn from Governor Cox than
from Senator Harding. Neither the
Democratic party nor the Democratic
nominee owe Mr. Bryan a vote of
thanks, however, for refusing to run
for the presidency on the prohibition
ticket, lie more than any living man
is indebted to the Democratic party.
Had he not been nominated for the
presidency by the party in Chicago in
1890 and twice subsequently for the
olliee the chances are that he long
since would have dropped from pub
in? nonce nnn 01 course never would
have attained the prominence he has
enjoyed for the last quarter century.
The Democratic party has ntade Mr.
Itryan what he is. Aside from all
the honors It has heaped upon him.
It has directly made it possible for

him to accumulate a large competency.
It would have been ingratitude
of the rankest kind had he become
the leader of the prohibitionists in
opposition to Governor Cox.
SERMON MOVES A SLAYER.
Youth Coafi'iatrs to Mustier of Mother
Seven Years Ago
"Arise and confess your Bins!"
shouted the Itcv. G. R. N. Sharpe,
evangelist, in appealing to a revival
meeting at Salem, Grey county. Ont.
Arnold Love. 21 years old. an industrious
and respected farmer, arose ami
confessed to murdering his mother
seven years ago, u crime for which
his father was hanged on circumstantial
evidence. Love told the story
of his struggle of seven years to still
the voice of a guilty conscience.
The murder of Mrs. Henry I^ove
was of the most liriitnl nhjtrn?>tnr Hor
body was found in the cellur of their
farm, her head battered and her
throat cut. Arnold. 14 years old at
the time, never was suspected.
"I was just eating breakfast." Love
said, describing: the murder, "when
my m9ther warned me to avoid keeping
bad company. "I grabbed a stick
ot wobd and hit her over the head. I
dragged the body to thd cellar and
covered it with earth and then went
to school."
Young Love was one of the principal
witnesses against his father,Henry
Love, who wns convicted by a jury
and hanged at Owen Sound. Ont.
While the evidence against him had
been mostly circumstantial, on the
scaffold the father made what was
believed to be a confession of his
guilt.
On advice of the evangelist lx>ve
gave himself up to the police, who
are investigating his story.
Where llonrd is t'licap.
It is refreshing in these days of
high prices to learn that somewhere
it is possible to get one's daily bread
and its accompaniments at a low figure.

to the Chinese student it is highly
satisfactory. Steamed cornhread and
rew turnips that have been kept in
brine and tlion chopped quite tine
compose the regulation breakfast ulmost
all the year. For dinner there
is usually millet rooked dry like rice,
and some hot vegetable. Twice n week
the vegetable is cooked with fat pork
instead of in Itcan oil as usual. Supper
is the same as breakfast. Perhaps
half n dozen times a year, however,
they celebrate with more luxurious
fare.
Our Utile llrothcrs.
W<? pity those who do not love animals
and hints and do not care to
make pets of them, says the ?>hlo
State Journal. There Is something
nitont the association with the creatines
of a so-called lower order which
seems to enrich and deepen our humanity.
The friendship which you
enjoy with a faithful little dog, or the
love you heatow on a good horao, or
a useful old house cat?all these do
not lessen our ability to love and care
for little children and other humans,
hut rather enlarge our sympathies
tot all iteings of the earth. These

a dog or a cat. you can nt least make
acquaintance with the squirrels, pigcoiis
or birds. There Is happiness in
winning the confidence of these little
fellows that nothing else can bring.
To feel the burnished breasts of the
doves push against your hand us you
offer them corn, or the clutch of the
squirrel's little paw when he asks
for u nut?that is not only goon fun
apd kindness to dumb animals, but
it is also a splendid heart tonic. The

tnmed a sparrow till it would come
at his call and sit on his shoulder;
and we have seldom beheld a happier
human face.
