J Sr ; Every war is started by an in- , t^rnatimml liiffhwvmmi Sn_tha_^ I*J| disarmament conference has been < working on the principle thaf the way to prevent shooting among nations is to take their < guns away. One does not have ' to look any further for a solution j of the crime wave. , Whether it is 1 a logical result of the war or not is immaterial. The quickest way , to stop it is to make it impossible < foj professional or potential crim- i inals to get their hands on Weapons. Most States have laws i against carrying concealed wea- 1 pons, and most States require 1 merchants to turn over to the police a report of revolvers sold to local residents. But the mail order house keeps a supply of revolvers available for criminals, except where States prevent ship, ments. To curb crime, there N should be a national law forbid- 1 ding interstate commerce in pistols and daggers. Only police of fieers shoqld be allowed the privilege of securing pistols by express or through the mails, and the States should make possession of death dealing weapons a criminal offense. With criminals disarmed, even the household would not need a pistol. There is much food for thought in the Statement of the New York World that the Republicans have i never forgiven Mr. Wilson for the tE injury they did him. That is a common enough quality in hu-t man nature. It is easier to condor* a wrong done to yourself than it is to forget an enemy whom you have made through your own malice. Good politics, as the Lodges and Borahs and the rest of them saw it, made it imperative that the principles advo, cated by Mr. Wilson should be defeated, and to get themselves in'the proper frame of mind they filled themselves with hate to have .courage enough to commit their criiqe. When an act of folly fails it becomes a crime, and lilt* fnllv nf tho RiiniiKlinaiifi' fail. ing became a crime againRt civilization. Worse than that, the folly was done and- the crime committed for no purpose. After having cast aspersions upbn the paternity of the League of Nations, the Republicans have adopted*it under another name. The - whole inception, development and progress of the Washington conference is the League of Nations, ultered to suit the exigencies of Republican politics. No wonder the Republicans hate Mr. Wilson. Matters for Town Council. .Two mutters of more or less public interest are to demand the attention of town council of Fort Mill at its regular semi-monthly meeting next Tusday night, when the members are expected to take up for consideration the proposed r< peal or modification of the anti nog pen oruinanco, passed lasi year, and the request of the churches ol' ihe town, presented through the ministerial union two weeks ago. that council undertake lo eutore strictly all town ordinances nnd State laws, so far as possible, relative to Sabbath observance. The local board of health is said to be insistent upon putting into effect the anti-hog pen ordinance without modification, while a majority of the members of council are said to be in favor of allowing householders to raise hogs in town, but are willing to amend ; the ordinance by providing thut hog pens be uot allowed within a certain distance of residences or places of business. Yesterday a member of council staled that the members of the hoard of health would be invited to attend the momufc,- of conned next Tuesday i ovhiLu^, nt which an effort will 1 ' he made to compose the ditiercn- ' tea of the two bodies. . The request of the churches for ; Sabbath Observance came before council first at its last meeting two weeks ago. but was laid aside * temporarily. Opposition to the . movement is said to have devel- i oped; but from statements made 1 by mi mbers of council within the j last few days the inference is that i the request of the churches will ? be complied with and that within a short time no more soft drinks , or tobacco products will be sold i the Sabbath in Fort Mill. !ty i mn in n of Uw Q^ral ft warn >ortanee*ba*ing been, sent to the jovernor for his approval, *" Thf gasoline tax bill, held dye* in the senate from the 1921 session, - is ret to pass that body and it not* >egins to look as if the measure rill be materially amended be'hVe it finds a way into the statites. The house bill proposes a ax of 2 cents a gallon on gasoine which the consumer would lave to pay as he would also Have ? pay the 1 cent a gallon proK>8ed on kerosene. An effort is >eing made in the senate to reluce the gasoline tax to 1 cent a gallon and to eliminate entirely he proposed tax on kerosene. 'Catch the joy riders" seeius to >e the principal argument of the louse friends of the tax on gssoine. They lose sight of the fact that not one gallon in ten of the gasoline consumed in South Carjlina is burned by joy riders. For oner at least in the history >f South Carolina legislation, th^ ?enate is acting more wisely thun the house in its refusal to ullow important measures nastiiv put through the lower hotly to pass without giving them the consideration their wide reaching effect warrants. None of the "now source of revenue" bills passed by the house at the present session has yet come up for discussion in the senate, but when they do reach the talking stage on the floor of that body it is certain many faults will be found with them and that it will take more than the recommendation of the Michigan "experts" to convince the senate that they are what this State needs. Two of these measures, the moving picture license bill and the income tax bill, may be expected to produce much dificussion and it is not unlikely that there will be changes in both before the senate gives them its stamp of approval. The house was to take up today the soealled luxury tax bill, which its friends say will produce something like a million dollars a year for the State treasury. The bill contains numerous objectionable features and if it should become a law as it is written, there is the promise of widespread complaint throughout the State. South Carolina may be at the foot of the list in the literacy column of American States, but it isn't going to stay there long if the appropriations for edilcation continue to grow for the next few years as they have grown since John E. Sweuringen became sun?i*inia?uloiit nf n/iitnuf inn in 1 QflQ |r\ i inn uvi\ ii? v* v\i uvu ? i\mi 111 A few nights ago Mr. Sweariitgen said to a house committee thut the first year he,was superintendent of education the Legislature appropriated $50,000 for the publie schools. Last year more than a million and a half was appropriated for the schools. Supervisor Brown and Treas-, urer Niel were given a hearing by the York delegation a few days ago. the former in the interest of work planned by his office for the year and the latter to make the gratifying statement that he Jim' so arranged the county's finances that the mill levy put on the county a few years ago to build the Fort Mill-Rock Hill river bridge eould be left out ol the levy for 1922. Mr. Niel also stateih that it would not be necessary to eolect this year the mill levy voted several years ago' hy iSbcne/.er township for bonds for the old 3C's railroad. A rieh Eastern woman stopped her limousine and carried off some kittens that were playing in au alley. The poor family ihat owned the kittens brought suit for recovery and won. The incident illustrates the strides thai have been made in democracy? to protect the property and other rights of the poor. A few centuries ago the poor were the chattels of the rich, .with practically no rights under the law. In those days the poor owner of the cats would have been given a flogging instead of a judgment in court. The world is moving toward equality, though at times a snail could beat its pace.
