No. 112. Entered at the postoltlce at Fort Mill, B- C., us mall mhtter of the second class THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1922. According to a newspaper story sent out from Raleigh a tew days ago, Congressman Claude Kitchln of North Carolina thinks the Democrats will be able to organize the next house of representatives notwithstanding the (Republican majority of 17 which must be overcome. Mr. Kitchin doubtless has concluded that a considerable number of Western Kvpublleans will refuse to bup port the caudidate the old line Republicans nominate for speaker and * that these Republicans will come to . the uid of the Democrats in the election.' Since the congressional elections on November 7 the statement has been sent broadcast over the country that not one of the 11 Wisconsin members of the house, all of whom ure classified as Republicans, except Berger, Socialist, will vote with the reactionary Republicans of the East in organizing the house. It this statement should prove true and the Democrats are able to induce til A Wlsrnnaln mom Kauh ? -- ?wvvuuiu UIVUIUCI O iU YUlf k\Jk their candidates for speaker, oi course the Republican nominee will be ^iaten. But however much these - Wisconsin members dislike their Eastern Kebublican brethren, it is a sate conclusion that they dislike the Democrats even more and that when the time comes for action they will be found in line with the regular' Republican organization. It is doubtful, after all, whether it would prove beneficial to the Democratic party to be able to organize the .house In such circumstances. The Republicans will ha,ve a majority of the members and they are entitled to the speakership- Whatever they ^lackec. of hanging themselves during \thc last two years will be forthcoming during the next two years if they are given sufficient rope. It would be shortsighted policy on the part o the Democrats to withhold the rope The Wall Street Journal the other day told an interesting story about the psychology of selling that will bear repeating. Business was' dull in one of the copper mining districts in 190? and one of the mining combo nies wanted to sell a big amoun of Btock. It was highly necessary to make the sale. If the corporation wa. to keep its head above water. The general manager gave a party tc which he invited a number of hi rich friends. At opportune times he ^ . would apparently -give.a friendly tip to each member of the party. He explained that he would like to see his best woman friend make a little pin money, but she must first promise not to tell her husbamT'anything about the deal. Of coure each woman felt highly honored and forthwith promised to keep the plan a profound secret. The copper man said he would sell bis woman friend one share of tnining stock upon which she could make 1,000 per cent, but that she muBt not tell her husband, lest ue Cobble up all the stock. Scores of women were told the same story and - each promised "to do as asked. By noon the next day the husband of practically every woman at the party had purchased stock in the mining concern and the anxious officers had moved over to Basy street. Soap and water make the best dls Infoctant. If ?ou are in doubt, read the following quotation from the report from a competent civic health commission: "The city health department has stopped using fbrmaldehyde to disinfect homes where communicable diseases have been reported. We have found soap and water is best." The information is especially timely, just on the eve of winter, when communicable diseases are most prevalent and dfsinfecting W likely to be a problem In any home. Scrupulous cleanliness in the person and for the home and ail of its appliances is a better safeguard agatqst infection and the spread Of disease then sll the high priced remedies.

"Shall I not drink what I like?" inquires, truculently, many a man who knows perfectly well that in the relations of orderly, civilized society no man may take what he likes, do what he likes, or even be what he likes if taking, doing or being interferes with the rightful comfort, prosperity, or equal liberty of others. Liberty to make a menace of oneself, or even a nuisance, is not liberty within the proper acceptance of the term, for it implies the refusal to the rest of the community of freedom to protect themselves against the meace, or to abate the nuisance, as the caBe may be- "-Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty," and the spirit of the Lord is not found in the saloon. The right of the community to abate the use of- intoxicating liquor, to regulate it or to prohibit it altogether, has been (ftNruied legally and politically at every stage by which the people* of the United States finally reached the determination to abolTsh its manufacture, sale, and use altogether. When saloons were merely forced to take out a license, it was upon the theory that the business was one that should be subject to the constant supervision and control 01 the State. The "high license" idea proceeded from the conviction that ihe bus'ness was one so perilous to good order that its followers siioulu no made to pay heavily toward the police costs which their trade made accessary. There was no talk aboui liberty being involved when tho sa.oon-keeper was not made as free to go about his business us a milkman jj* a newsvender. And then came local option in towns by which tlurstj dwellers in residence districts were denied tho privilege ol' having saloons .n their immediate vicinage. The courts decided that was no invasion of the right of either the saloonkeeper or his patron. New York city passed an ordinance by which only iwo comers of interstecting streets could be occupied by saloons. The gross invasion ol the liberty pf the .andlords of other corners to round out the circle of temptation was upheld by the courts. Nowadays, it may be noted in passng, the saloon has disappeared from all four corners, and the landlords and the passers-by profit alike by the new freedom from the everpresent lure of the groggery. And so from local option in towns, - o county aiul State prohibition, and ..nally to national prohibition, etfojy torward step for the protection of the tome, tor the salvation of the victim, .rout the removal of temptation from .he young, has been met with a protest that liberty was being infringed <l>ou and in every case the courts have decided tlie protest not well founded. Whose liberty suffers? The liberty of the man who sells maddening .leiiors to-ruin the lives of his victims? The* ltborty of the man who uses them in excess to the wreckage jf his manhood, the beggary of his family, and often to the point of crime? The liberty of the devptee of "light wines and beer" who cannot deny gratification of a depraved taste even that the world may be saved from the Innumerable woes and tragedies which all history shows to follow in the train of alcoA Five-Minu Church A DID you ever think of the church a church always be considered a you heard men any: "I don't g * go they are alwaya begging for money.
