'I rpt r i 1 a?i?r rr-?i? i "T^ke the profit out of war" 4jb* the slogan adopted by an internthional association of machinists which is working for international peace. The machinists have . got to the root of the matter. Let it be understood that there will be no more profit in wars and there will be no more wars. In ancient' times kings went to war against each other for private glory, for revenue, for the acquisition of territory, or . for mere loot. The principle is much the same today, but the lust for gain is not confined to kings or rulers. Leaders in every country see that there is much profit to he made nut of ivar. and thev are not od posed to wars. .If the machinists get their ideas adopted by the people of the world they will do more for universal peace than all the disarmament conferences that could be held between now and doomsday. Congress needs to take u new view of the immigration question, and that is that immigration into t'iis country is a privilege and not u right. The citizens of this country huye the right to say whether they want any more foreigners to come into the country. nr ^U'ltntlint* tluiv /In tint u iittf flit* peaple of any particular country or countries to come iu. iTtblio sentiment in this country us in. favor of restriction of immigration and if congress does not take heed it will be going contrary to public opinion. Sentiment is Feing built up in this country that it is bait form to drink liquor or to contrive in any way at the violation of the prohibition laws. This sentiment V t'us not reached all sections yet, put it is spreading. The idea is that the best people do not do that son of thing, and the average uiun or WQUtan wants to be included in the ranks of the "best people." We try to do the things we believe the best people do, and we avoid the things they avoid. When it becomes indecent or unfashionable to liquor up, there v ill he mighty little driiiaing. LEGISLATIVE NOTES. Monday night the ninth, and perhaps the lust, week of the 1922 session of the Legisluture. opened when the senate inet at 8 o'clock to hear reported from its finance committee the generul appropriation bill for the year. The bill carries many more thousands of dollars than it did when it left the house three weeks ago, most of the increases being due to sums uddetl for the public schools. 11 the bill should be adopted by the upper body without material changes and then run the gauntlet of the free conference commit t?composed of three senate membexs and,three house mem< hers appointed to smooth ont the differences between their respective bodies?the ehanct-s are that it will be a law before the end of the week. Some weeks ago The Times undertook to say that the hvy for the year would be 10 mills, aganist the 12 mill levy for 1921. Since that statement was made little has happened to indicate that the levy would be lower than that figure. On the contrary, the people may be asked to pay 11 mills, due to the failure of the senate to pass the i luxuries tax bill, the hydro-electric power hill and to the increases in the appropriation bill. Much depends upon the men the speaker of the house names ( for the fr^e eonference commit' tee. Apparently the house made u nuivnv mull IIUl UIIIV IU tt|)' propriate less money for the running expenses of the State this year hut also to lighten the burden of taxation on real property by passing a number ot billa design* d to raise revenue from Sources vrhicn heretofore have eseaped taxation altogether; but the efforts of the house in this direction have been largely nullified by the senate, which was recently accused of surrendering to business at the t-xpehse of agriculture. Members of the Legislature are elected on the assumption that when they go to Columbia to legislate it will be in Ihf interest of the people, but , aometimesfi some of these momto show the people a B^mbecoming degree of gratitude for commissions. The hydro * i* -ir--g c* ? f*''' *.;! "/'"'X t,C*$ as an iliust ration' of this forgetfulness. The bill would have brought into the State ircnaury several hundred thousand dollars annually from a source most people are wjlljngto a4mit should be taxed, since the power companies are paying-nothing for {he use of the streams which belong to the people and from which they produce the power they sell the people. But the lawyers and other lobbyists of the power companies were "on the job" from the day the bilk passed the house until it was finally killed* by the senate. They had nil sorts of plausible but really unsubstantial argument to advance why the proposed tax was unjust and would stifle the progress of the companies. And they got away with it!?that is, they have got away with it up to this time, but a/.mn nv*A li/tnitm t It n t i It Lutiutit nuiuu ate uu|/ui^ iuui 1111 ocuaiv will yet see the error of- its way and pass the hill. Vain hope, apparently. There is the prospect that the house of representatives will this week have the pleasure of listening to an address by Gov. dames M. Cox of Ohio, presidential nominee in 1920 of the Democratic party. Thursday night the house adopted a resolutiou inviting Governor Cox to address it Friday while he was passing through lhp StMtp nil tlio ivuv ft-nui liik home .to Aiken, there to spend the month, but the distinguished Democratic leader did not find it convenient to accept the invitation for that day. although he indicated that it would suit him to return to Columbia ami address the body this week. All the members of the house committee which, went to the union station to extend the invitation to Governor Cox were impressed with the cordial reception he extended thein and the interest his words bespoke in the welfare of the people of South Carolina and the hopeful view he took of the success of the party in the State and congressional elections next fall. Governor Cox said he felt certain that Mr. 'Pomerene, Democratic senator from Ohio, would be reelected next fall. Members of the party who had not before seen Governor Cox had drawn a mental picture of him as a large, robust man. In this they were mistaken. as the Democratic leader ir. not more than 5 feet 7 inches and weighs about 150 pounds. But one does not have to listen to Governor Cox long to learn that what he lacks in the physique one eXDeets tn in nntinnol fin.ilf.io ? -v "vv 4 'b111 * is more thart Compensated for in his intellectual attainments. What the future has in store for Governor Cox in a political way is of course problematical, but if the Democratic party should again put hiiu up as its standard bearer it is certain tliut no mAn in the country is better qualified to show up the tuiworthiness of the Republican purty and that, if he should be elected we would have more practical politics, the sort ot politics that keeps a party in power, than we had under the Wilson 'administrations. While at the station in Columbia Governor Cox complied with the request thrit he be photographed with the legislative delegation, composed of Representatives Anderson.

While the work of the judges of the -essay contest inaugurated a few weeks ago by the First National bank of Fort Mill, in which cush prizes were offered one pupil in each of the Iti public schools m the Fort Mill section for the best essay on "Washington as a I Soldier,has not yet been completed, the grading of the papers has so far progressed that the judges today anuopnccd Miss Lelia Baggett of the l'ineville school as the winner of the first prize. The prize offered the Fort Mill school was won bv Klmore Alexander. Next week The Times will print the essay written l?y Miss Raggett and will also announce the names of the winners in the various schools. The judges of the contest are the Rev. R. H Viser of Fort Mill, Mrs. O. W. Potts of Pleasant Valley and the Rev. T. J. Houck of Pineville. Some men are selfmade and others married good women. Some people can live straight only when they are reduced to staitened circumstances. The trouble wifh some men is that they are on the right track ,but headed in the wrong direction. ?
