Now, the opposite course is taken South Carolina are for the president with the operator of a mail order, for a fourth, fifth or tenth term. Putting Self First It has become a common practice for officeholders in thui state after being elected, to offer for another of-' fice with larger remuneration before they have completed the term they have been chosen^by the voters to fill. It is not only bad taste, but puts the county and state to additional and unnecessary expense^ The latest example is Governor non-war business. This time it was a big store, next time a little store may feel the mailed fist. Also, bayonets can be turned on labor as well as on business execu tives. Nationally and internationally, let us hope that this latest example of bureaucratic ruthlessness may awak en the people to* the dangers in volved in delegating unrestrained au thority to officials to make, interpret and enforce rulings havings the force of laws.

Another measure, which was expected to be the sub ject of long debate in the house is the Cannon-Bankhead measure to provide $15,000,000 for the advertis ing of war bonds in country newspa pers. But this too has apparently been pigeon-holed until after the recess. If it weren’t for the determination of most all members of congress to get out of Washington and into the coming political battles, it is prob able that the congressmen who favor stronger legislation to control labor and outlaw strikes would take ad vantage of the recent troubles in war COOPER MOTOR CO.
