"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

( for the fr^e eonference commit'
tee. Apparently the house made

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.

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

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

But one does not have to listen to
Governor Cox long to learn that
what he lacks in the physique one

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. Belstr,

cush prizes were offered one pupil

Some men are selfmade and
others married good women.
Some people can live straight
