^ The South C5irolii^,(*x commission
has publicly let it be known that it
does not-approve of the use of pic
tures and poaters of Santa Claus for
the purpose of advartiaing liquors,
this statement having been given out
a few days ago by that body’s chair
man, W. G. Query.
Speaking for the commission, Mr.
Query stated that there ^was no law
which prohibited the use of these pic
tures and posters to stimulate the
liquor business in which the state has
entered, but that the “Christmas sea-
sn being set apart for the Ohristian
people to celebrate and observe the
birth of Christ, ,we the members of
the tax oommiasion charged with the
enforcement of the liquor law jn
South Carolina, want it understood
that .we do not aanction the use of
' isich advertising' methods.** ^
Where are Ire headed for with our
moral standircks wh^niwe place plac
ards before our children in show win
dows on public streets showing pic
tures of Santa Claus “with arms full
of toys and articles for children and
a bottle of liquor”? . ~
Chriatmas is esasiitiaUy for the
ahttd with Santa Claus as the central
^yid beloved theme. The child puts his
int heart in Sslita Claus ^with a
jaad love worthy of- Wulating
fvowo-ups. Liquor is the
enemy on earth. I;t
oMldrea <Hrphans, it cans-
to be ai^
all other laws on the statute book.
A sheriff is the directing head of
the law enforcement unit of a county.
We have never been enthusiastic over
a state, constabulary force operating
under direction of the governor’s of
fice. Such systems usually smack of
politics. Why should a goveimpr .fwad
officers into Laurenrf or Pickens, or
any other county, to investigate crime
and law violation. There are instan
ces where special constables in plain
clothes are needed, but generally
speaking, law enforcement and the
apprehension of violators should be
the duty of the sheriff and his depu
ties. When state constables are sent
all over the state for this investiga
tion, or that, the natural tendency of
ten ffl for .local officers in the county
to slow-up or feel that the responsi
bility is not heavily theirs to Ag to
the bottom of -the case in question.
Senator'e corner and the new mem
bers oi the delegation, in one of their
first^bfficial actions putting the re
sponsibility on the ^riff to appoint
his deputies rather than attem;^ing
to usurp that powet to theniselves,
are carrying out principle outlined in
their platfonns this summer, and
whicIT contributed largely to their
election.-There ^-are some other things
pertaining to the county government
that need to be'straighlfhned out and
that doubtless will be properly han
dled In due time.
There is ho excuse for a continu
ation of county government defiant
in many instances, of the constitu
tion.
