Newpapera that use the service of
David Lawrence, Washington correspondent,
are printing just now a series
of articles he is writing from
a States of the North and Nortwest relative
to political conditions in those
States. Mr. Lawrence is an entertaining
writer, but the articles he is
sending out lack a good deal of being
a non-partizan forecast of what

pleasing to many people. Hie view/
point is that of a Republican, but lib
is considerate enough to admit that
in most of the States he lius visited
within the lust ten days the Republicans
have lost some ground since tlio
elections of 1920. In Ohio, for instance,
he concedes that the Republicans
have a fight on their hands,
? but narking back to the 400,000 majority
given Harding iu that State
two years ago he concludes that
there isn't much prospect of Democratic
success, there this yoar. The
Republican leaders in -Washington
and Ohio, however, do not seem
to share in Mr. 1-awrence's conclusions,
otherwise on^f would not hear

Ohio is far from good and that their
party is certain to loee out there a
number of seats in the lower house
of Congress.
The tax levy for State purposes in
South Carolina this year is 71-2
mills, for York county purposes 6
mills and for purposes of the town
of For^Mill 20 mills.
One of the Charlotte papers prints
the statement that "there will be no
mere fight or wrestling shows hore
for a week or more.' Why any more
"tight or wrestling shows" at any
time? Fighting aud wrestling are a
low, degrading form of amusement
'Which any community is better off
without. E'oxers and wrestlers give
nothing except memories of brutality
and indecency in return for the money

They ought to be at work doing useful
service, such, for instance, us
chopping cord wood or digging ditches,
instead of deceiving the unthinking
into bolieviug that there is cither
skill or honesty in the "shows"~ thcy
put on. The wrestling "game" especially
is as crooked as a fishhook.
| The contestants usually arrange in
advance of the match who the winner
is* to be and frequently bet on or
against themselves in accordance
with the frame-up agreement. The
Lest that cau be said for the professional
boxers and wrestlers is that
they are a bunch of vagabonds who
ure producing nothing. They are expert
work shirkers and the odioluls
of cities ought to prefect the public
against them, since the public does
not seem inclined to protect itself. !t
used to be said that there v.as a

can be truthfully said that thcie are

Short-measure selling of gasoline
is estimated by u national author* i>
to be costing the motorists of the
! country not less than iM) million dollars
a year, it is estimated that bach
f the lit million motorists in the
i United biates buys two gollons r. dii>
and tho average theft amounts to twe
pints in each five ballons, a total
loss of 1 million gallons, valued a*
upprcx.niHtoly $250,000. One of the
national automobile associations aanouiuca
its intention to combat the
short-measure selling. "No evidence
has been found," says a statement

This Js a very serious matter,
in view of the fact that such enormous
quantities of gasoline are erquired
for daily use hy motor cai
owners. The cost is sufficiently heavj
even when they receive all the gasoline
which they pay for. A dailj
theft of $250,000 from the pockets ol
motor car owners should not be tol

are required to give full measure and !
as much should be required of those
selling gasoline. As a general thing,
the retail gasoline, -dealer is honest,
but whero there is reason to believe
that some are dishonest and they art,
not giving their customers the full!
amount of gasoline they have bought!
and paid for, they should be punished.!
