Telephone, local and long distance, No. 112. Kntered at the postofflce at Fort Mill, s. C., as mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY^ OCT. 13, 1921. .Judge Hen Lindsay, nationally known Denver jurist, is in a fair way to make himself unpopular with the class of Americans lie refers to as "the substantially well-to-do." In the Deliver court over which lie presides, .Judge Lindsay a few days ago, in refusing to sentence two youths convicted of giving liquor to girls, raked fore and aft wealthy citizens for keeping "well stocked cellars," while "some poor devil" is sentenced for drinking blind tiger whiskey. "Our high society our substantially well-to-do people?are making a mockery of the law," said .Judge Lindsay. "They are the ones responsible for this business and they furnish the temptation to the unemployed and the ignorant to engage in it." There is soiue truth in what .Judge Lindsay says, but. the effori to excuse the man without work or the "ignorant" (no one 111 in.* country is ignorant ol tlie liquor laws) lor engaging in the 11<I ior business because the example may have been set by some one of better standing in the common ly is reasoning too far fetched to be indorsed generally. Lack of employment justifies no one in selling liquor. There ought to be excuse for the man who finds it neeesary to take bread that does not belong to him to ward off starvation, but a different proposition is presented in tnc ease of the man who breaks the law of the land for profit, as is always the incentive for liquor selling. The injujstice of the enforcement, or lack of enforcement. of the liquor laws is found in this?that the well-to-do ami influential are not molested for having liquor in their possession, while the poor white man and negro are haled into court for the same offense. This is the fault of the officers whose duty it is to apprehend law violators and not of the law itself. "Never!" exclaims the Newberry Observer in commenting on l lie suggest ion that Governor I'ox again be nominated by the Democrat ie party for the presidency. I'erhaps it \\;ould be poor politics to again put up Governor Cox. I luit there was nothing in his campaign last year for the country to he ashamed of. He was heateii. just as any other Democrat would have heen beaten, hut it is doubtful whether any man the party might have put forward as its leaders would have done better. One thing Governor Cox's campaign proved was that he was big enough to he president. Intellectually. he outranked Harding. For proof of the assertion one needs hut to read the campaign speeches of the two men. One of the chief factors in the defeat <d' Governord'ox was that too many men and newspapers which should have helped him "lay down on the job." Perhaps they scented Republican success and wanted to be in position to say that they did nothing against the Republican nominee. j In his final report to the war j department, dated September 1, | 1010. Gen. lVrshhnr in recounting tin pari taken by tlu* American ' army in winning the World war gave the credit for breaking the llindenhurg line to the 30th division. composed of troops from the Carolina* and Tennessee. But now steps forward Weeks, secretary of war. to say that the 27th division (New York National Guard) did as much to breach the German fortifications as the boys from' the South and that credit for the achievement belongs in cipiul degree to both divisions. ^ Ever since these two division* returned -from overseas there has been put forward by New York newspapers the claim that this great American victory was due to the work of the National Guardsmen from that State, and . _ __ _ a #4. u is pernaps not surprising aner all that Weeks, bigoted Southhating' misfit that he is, should join in the effort to rob the Southern soldiers of the glory they earned and hand it over to men who did little real service. It must indeed be comforting to the veterans of the 30th division who made so many sacrifices and risked so much to serve their country to realize that the government now in power at Washington is too partizan to treat them fairly. < PLEASANT VALLEY NEWS.
