TUESDAY, JANUARY 81, 1922. 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

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

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.
