FIGHTING FOR LIQUOR
The liquor question, in which our
general assembly’s chief interest
seems to ■center,T^still unsettled and
up in the air. The senate rejected
the county control bill passed by the
house in January, substituting there
for a measure to license dealers in the
state for the sale of package liquor.
The house came back Tuesday with a
non-concurrence vote on the bill. It
will now go to free conference where
the fight will be continued and the
present session further delayed.
The liquor advocates in the legisla
ture tell us that liquor ha.s always
been here and always will be here, so

^For the fifth consecutive year, Na

throughout the nation on May 6-11th,
and already is arousing interest on all

The oh.<!ervance of Cotton W^ek is
sponsored by the Cotton Textile Insti-
the 'polls and in society. This prob

•from the standpoint of conscience.
Since liquor is undeniably an evil, it
'is our duty to be against it, and even
if it be true that many people are go

AN EASTER THOUGHT
The world today needs to know and
.understand th<‘ essential meaning and
spiritual stimulu.s of Easter more than
in many j^ars. We are, told by many,
if we listen to their lamentation, that
religion has faileil, that the plain
homely virtues of faith and loving
kindne.s.s and mercy as between men
and their fellows are dead or inoper
ative.
To such a false attitude of mind
Easter coitfes as a shining and a beftu-
tiful refutation. It is not to be ob
served merely .as the commemoration
of a triumph over the grave, a victory
over death, nineteen centuries ago. It
stands for the glory and the power
of a re.surrection here- and now’—of~a
rebirth, of the springing of a new life
in this glad hour and a confident fu
ture hoi>e. Its meaning cannot all be
told in music or in flowers, or by the
most eloquent sermons. It is not all
in the glow of the hour of prayer and
praise and song. It goes far deeper
than words can. utter; it reaches the
deopest of the truths we know, at the,
very heart of our human lives, in thdr
dajly need of that which is higher
thaii ourselves, and in their aspir
ation toward that which is true eter-
nally*
It is each man’s and woman’s res
urrection and not that of Christ alone
on which this day insists forever.
Easter is the freedom and light, the
upsppinging joy of the emancipation
of ..the soul of man. Leasjt of all the
festivals is it a time for selfish intro
spection, for the backward look and
the unprofitable resemblance of fail
ure and disaster. It is, instead, the
heralding of Resurrected Life, the
time for the looking and thinking and
acting beyond and away from our
selves.
As in t^ie solemn and beautiful Eas
ter jubilee we consider the lilies, and
hear the music in keeping with the
Besarrection and Ascension of Christ,
and feel the^ inspiration of the occa
sion, we wall do well to take thought
as to how we nmy impart to other
bring to other hearts the joy
is kaowizqr thst as we sre
or strong plea of many of the wets is
to the effect that .since liquor is going
to be disponed whether or pot, we
might as well get revenue from it.
Both conscience and common sense
should be applied to this argument.
We should have the proper regard an
to the source from wlffch our revenue
comes. This group argues that the li
quor revenue could be allocated to our
schools and would make possible a
longer term and raise teachers’ pay.
Such argument is an insult to our chil
dren and teachers. Do you want your
child’s education to depend upon the
amount of beer and liquor consumed in
the state. God forbid it.
County liquor stores or a licensing
system arc not going to soh’e this
problem but rather law enforcement.
There is no guarantee that the legal
izing of liquor will bring about^de-
crease in bootlegging. We doubt the
statement. All the tax placj^ on legal
liquor will mean that mu^ln more op
portunity for the bopHegger to make
a profit in ielling.fhat on which he
does not pay a/tax and at the same
time undersell the government.
As a sjde-light, it would be inter-
estingif the wet advocates in the gen
eral assembly woukf tell the people
how many liquor office-holders and li
quor bureaus will created once their
proposed legislation is enacted.
