AWo. there is no way of making men honest, by law, into careful men. The fundamental weakness of the honest man, which makes him an easy vic tim for the dishonest is that ht cred- lature to say that those who desire to sell liquor le^rally may do so, and in the sanie breath to aay that newspa pers can’t cany advertisements to help the dealer s^l his liquor.

' ' It is just as proper for the news papers (that so deeire) to carry whis key advertisements as it is f5r the state of South Carolina to license its citizens to sell liquor. To say that a man who desires to operate a liquor store may do so with the state’s ap- provid, but that the newspaper can not advertise the produef is a -hypo critical position to take. If such ad vertisements are to be prohibited by law, then the state abovdd not allow another bottle of liquor to be offeHed for aale. fVlMA tha wete damorinf foH Ckamohta har dallvara^ prkaa ead lew mooHtly p€qrmanl$.
