He warned a teachers’ gathering that young people most be taught the dangers of avarice. “Get the money” without regard t( how it is got, seems to be the motto of an increasingly large number of men and women, bpth^ young and old. It is this idea, fostered by “success” stories in print and picture that is at the bottom of the whole systeni of racketeering. Organized crime is sim ply organized greed. It is still true, as Saint Paul wrote nearly two thousand years ago, that the love of money is the root of all evil. Not money itself, but the, love of money. And the only possible correc tive to the temlency to put money above everything else W' to change our whole method of teaching the young, so that they wfll learn that it possible to live happily without 18 much money—even more happily, for most people, than if they had money.

The‘governor came W'^the bat last week with the declaration that he “would not play ball” unless he could have everything his own way, which meant the removal from office of Chief Highway Commissioner Ben M. Sawyer. His threat, which can only be interpreted as an effort to drive or coerce the commission to carry out his own personal political whim, went so far as to state that he will not take action necessary to put into operation an elevep-million-dollar highway con struction program until Sawyer is ousted from an office which the rec ord and previous audits shows he hts efficiently filled. The highway department put the governor on the spot when it came back with the challenge that he choose between Sawyer^ or blocking a $10,- 650,1000 road program affecting every county in the staU~«nd made possible He has been the ladies aid lUet las^ monday at the home of the bridM mother, a sallet coarse was served., deckerrations were ivy and pot flowers, mrs. square read a paper on china and wing fung. a solo was sung by sudie lou and Jenny lou and tootsie Clirk. dues was ordered paid. aJ)Out 14c was took in. music was played on the new radio, but it was full, of stattick, noboddy ever found ^ut what tune or station it sung. asked by the commission to approve the proposed bond issue on its “mer its” and on this basis alone.

The driver at the steering wheel never know's when a child may suddenly cross the street or road ahead, or at the next corner. There i.s no excuse for the snuffing out of a child’s life or injuring or maiming one of these little ones. And such tragedies can easily he avoidetl if the motoring ))ublic will use common sense, and consicleretion for others. when he has no way in the world to confirm it. His other-statement in re fusing to’approve thg program, that he would not place this amount of money in the lap of Sawyer to "be ex pended is equally as absurd. Members of the highway commission, repre- .senting every district in the state, and not the executive official of that body, are responsible for the policies and spending of all highway money in South Carolina as every informed per son nju^l know. The commissioner is an employee of the highway commla-. 8 COMPANY In co-operation wHh the home modeniiiation iriapof the F H A have It is to be hojHMl that the state pa-ision, and the governor under the law' trolmen will let it be known the very day schools open that the law as ap plying to children on buses will be rig idly enforeed.

A fine slo gan for u-s all to adopt ■’would be — “Look out for the children.” has nothing to do with his selection. We hold no brief for Mr. Sawyer. We are not acquainted with him and have never seen him. But we do know of his ' record, the efficiency with which he has conducted his'office, the splendid system of highways through out the state he has been instrumental building, and the economical way .J- ; m vV A LOSS TO THE WORLD Of very few human beings has it ever been pos.sihle tb say truthfully- that the whole world felt a sense of personal loss when they passed on. That, however, seems to us to be true in regard to the tragic death of Will Rogers. In,only a slightly lesser de gree it is also true of his companion who met death w’ith him, Wiley Post. Both men had won world-wide acclaim for theiir accomplishments in their re spective fields, but Will Rogers had x^on more than that. He had, to a de- seldom achieved by men in their lif^fchnes, the warm-hearted affection of a fmblic which can only be xounted m millihns. Both o^^he men who perished when their airplaite crashed on the northern edge of Alaska were typical Ameri cans; Wiley PosCSt feat of circling fhv earth twice- by plane, once flying around the globe alon^, will stand for all time as the greateSf feat of this one-eyed Oklahoma oil^riller who tamed out to be one of thc real ^viz- ards of aviation. And Will llogers— what can be said of the Okliihoma cowboy, whose genial homespunNpit and shrewd observations on men . affairs made him the friend of and ambassador^ and the aIways-wel- _:^eome guest of presidents? Add to tlmt bis universal popularity as dne^of the real stars of the screen, whose simple humor and “Iplksy” ways were a de light to everybody, Itnrd his anrazing X aucoess as ai journalistic and radio -\:0nmentator on?^ublic affairs, and yod have a cwmbihation of talents for which we find no parallel in modem times. . Will -Roirers was proud of his strain of Indian blood, mingled with those, of the Scottish, Irish and English pio neer stock. Ho was a real American, ' irtMMM hoMt it freqoently was that his aaceators did not eome over by way of comparison with other states, in which they have been buiTl. If Governor Johnston has kny charges he can substantiate against Mr. Saw yer,. he' should put the cards on the table and definitely and specifically make them. Certainly, if the commis sioner is incompetent or dishonest, he should he removed from his position. But facts, not prejudice, should be fur nished to prove such charges before an innocent hlan is indicted and ousted. The governor in this wrangle, which only reveals his political prejudice and opposition against a., state official whose competency and honesty has never been questioned — is showing hlm.self^^ as ^ “very small man-m a bi^ position. “X for tl|0‘pureliaso of the fomous nationally advorttsod " Nbbg^s Business ^•iBy Goo McGoo v TALISMAN RUGS Some of This and Lots of ThaL From Flat |tock ' - judd hoskins who opened up a toor- ist camp at the back end of his filling sUtion reports ,a verry good bizness return for his investment, he do not running.watter or hot showers, both of his bildings have nice cots m 8 e, allso 2 cheers and a lotddng glas Fqx 60c per person .each per night.
