THE PASSING OF THE HORSE
It seems as if the day of the horse
is about over, at least in the city. •
For centuries the horse has been
the symbol of speed and power. He
was transportation. The oldest sculp
tures represent rampant battle steeds,
and heroes have g^enerally been sculp-
turd riding on horses.
But this age of motor cars is find
ing him too slow. We may love horses
and delight in them, but apparently
they are bound to go.
Agitatioa is now taking place in
London to ban the slow-moving horse-
drawn vehicle from the crowded
vise suggestion'! and kindly advice.

A GRACIOUS ACT
Mr. John H. Young, without ever
letting the world know about it, is
frequently doing something nice for
some one else. He has within the past
week, an i purely voluntary on his
part, contributed the lovely Geo.' W.
Young residence to the Pre.sbyterian
One dailp paper says; “Officialdom
s.ands by idle while every day lum
bering horse-drawn vans and carts
cause long traffic blbcks in congested
thoroughfares. The loss and incon
venience caused by the traffic delays
are incalculable, and yet nothing is
done to ameliorate the nuisance.”
In som^ coTtgested regitms of
Paris, such as the Place de I’Opera
and the Place Vendome, horse troffic
is banished withki certain prescribed
hours. «
The indictment against the horse j
seems to be that he is slow land that :
he is dirty.
There is strong support for the sug-

has suffered from a calamity it shall
be the duty of the extension depart
ment to apportion the fund then avail

The terms of the bill provide that
the duties of purchti,3ing ^e necessary
supplies shall devolve upon the com
missioner of« agriculture, the state
warehouse commissioner and the sec
retary of the board of fertilizer con
trol of Clemson college. The state fi
nance committee is empowered to
pledge the credit of the state in se
curing the loan.
Under the terms of the bill, farm
ers desiring aid under the act shall
make application to their county com

Ion says he wants, amazed the wets
by calling prohibition enforcement a
“farc'e” and declaring that for Xvery

100 bootleggers. ’
Veteran wets, like Reed, of Mis
souri, and Bruce, of Maryland, were
not sure they had heard the Georgian
correctly. Bruce facetiously a short
time ago took Prohibition Commis-
sionelr Doran at his word and propos
ed to give him ;$270,000,000 to police
the country, Harris, taking the same
matter seriously, wants to have $26,-
000 000 more to hire agents.

ter ex-Governor Pinchot, of Pennsyl
vania, wrote, in 1927, denouncing Mr.
Mellon as an obstructionist to en
forcement an,l citing the former Mel
lon interest in whiske’y distillers.
Harris charged that the dry - law is
being violated “ten times as muc.h as
it would be if'we had the proper num
ber of field agents.”
“The secretary of the treasury,” he
said, “is one of the best financiers in
this country, but he has been in that
office eight years and he has not rec-
ommentled the, appropriation of one
dollar additional to enforce thi| law,
when every man and woman in the
countrj- know's the bootlegger is'worse
than the bar room formerly was be-
c'ause there are bootleggers where
there was one bar room and the law
would protect us to a certain extent
from certain things that occur in the
bar room. Later Harris raised his es
timate to lOO bootleggers per bar
room.

INTE.MPERANCE
I'ublir attention has' been so long
lenterefl on the intemperate use of al-
coh(Jir beverages that the word “in
temperate” has lost its broad mean
ing among a great part of the popu
lace.-If one ware to ask the average
per.son to .define the word the defi
nition most frequently given woul! be
■“to drink to excess,” or .^iniething to
• the" same effect. *
C-oinpare this popular understand
ing of the word with its definitions
a.s fodhd in Webster’s dictionary;
5>‘lndulging any appetite to excess;
immoderate in enjoyment or exertion;
ungovernable; immoderate, inordinate;
as, intemperate language, zCal, etc.”
So it becomes orident that one may
be intemperate in many different
ways. There are intemiierate eaters,
—rntemperate smokers, intemperate
■workers, intemperate sleepers, intem
perate idlers, intemperate spenders, in
temperate talkers, intemperate think
ers, intemperate reformers; and final
ly there may be intemperance in any-
' thing. , .
In an essay on “The Evils of Intem
perance” appears the statement:
“The history of mankind has shown
that intemperance is the greatest evil
■which has 'afflicted the human race.
Yet this is the lesson that mankind
from age to age and from generation
to generation persistently • forgets.
■ Spiritual intemperance unlooses the
forces of hate, bigotry.,, oppression,
tyranny, and the like, any and all of
which have, potentialities for evil in
civilized communities that may be
compared only with the physical in
temperance that weakens and deatroy^
' barbarous or semi-civilized peo'^es.”
Victory in oivilization’s w^r'against
int^mperance—m-the use of intoxicat
ing TiQSCe’s, as much as it is desired,
'will not ~ abolish all intemperance..
There are other forms that are equally:
as devastating and intolerable.
