THURSDAY DEO. 28, 1922 ^************************ | A BIT PERSONAL | ************************** We oelieve that the people want a newspaper that is printed nicely. We have worked with that idea for a long time, almost as long: as we have been in the newspaper game. If the types used is too small it hurts the eyes of those who would like to read it, but cannot for that reason. If the type is too large, it takes but a line or two to fill a large space and the paper cannot carry the amount of reading that it should. If t.hf* nairps. mst-pad nf sctnndinfr out bright and clear, are smudged with ink stains, dirt and grease, the paper presents a sickly appearance and creates the same state of affairs in the minds of the would-be readers of it. The people cannot be expected lo have that respect for such ;i sheet as they would have for one that is handled with care and the pages stand out bright-and clear for them to read. It is exactly like the difference between a clean house and a dirty house. Machinery in the print shop is like machinery of other kinds in many respects. One thing is that they cannot be run without lubrication. Oil relief hp i,med and used often to keep " the bearings in good shape and make the machines easy to turn. Like other machines thev are inclined to become mixed up with the product they are turning out and with the different materials used in and about them to produce that product. In the printing press, printer's ink has to be used. It is black. It is sticky. It has a tendency to spread all over 4^hat which it touches. Paper is a thinqr that wants to scatter and tear and stick in places where it does not belong, especially on the rollers of a press. To overcome these difficulties, the machinery must, of course, be kept clean. It is impossible to print a nice looking- paper from an old dirty and greasy press. The rollers must be ke^t cle.nn. the tvpe forms clean, the ink must be pure, and the parts of the press must not be dropping ink and crease f^om everv revolution. All these things we look after with ever increasing care and try our best to produce for the people a naper that is not only easy to read, but that is clean and worthy of heing found on any reader's library table. Some may object to this .article as l>eing a personal allusion to our pri vate affairs, but this paper believes that it is better to take its readers into its confidence and let them know something of the troubles that lie in the path of the man who wants to produce a nice *aner. o J HORRY HERALDING $ J ************************** The business end is .a great big end vof any affair. o There is more in saving on the farm than in trying to raise hip crops. o It would appear that some men are forever putting ofT the right thing until tomorrow. o The rest of the world cares a whole lot less than you think it does as to wTiat becomes of you. c Never worry too much about what the other fe^ow will think for he does not think of you as often as you imagine he does. o Time was when voters hesitated to ro under bonds, while in the present time every corner of creation is voting a bond issue. o All the successful concerns you see or read about were established, not a* a matter of luck, but on account oi well managed business. Nothing can take the place of labor It is the basis of all wealth. Let u> not forget that it takes labor to rur this world. Nothing else can run it o Compulsory educatton may be < good thine: for people whenever thej can afford it. How ran children go t< school without clothes to wear an< food to eat? o There is such a thing as over doinj the matter of so-called civilization, s< that it becomes top-heavv and turn back on itself. Greed for power wil do the "some thing as it did in th< case of Germany. o We hear the term, "labor savini machinery," which i,s not a correc expression. Machinery only enable a man to do more. Nothing can tak< the place of labor. Nothing else ca: be put in its place. o Children who must work in orde im aid in the support of the famil 1 should not be required to attend school under compulsory laws an-regulations. Food artd clothing is more important than education. o In cotton and toKicco time it is impossible to spare the children at school without outside labor to pick the cotton or gather the tobacco, and the outside labor cannot be had without the cash to pay for it with. o It is wrong to inculate in the mind? of the young the idea that education may relieve them from the necessity of labor. Why not tell the young tho truth, which is that education is onlv an aid to labor and intended to help man to do more. n WASHINGTON COMMENT Christmas! Not, truly, a time for philosophy; vet a time when many ask themselves "why do we celebrate Christmas?" The churches have one answer, an answer that all Christians, at le.ast, crive to the question. But the celebration of Christmas has come to mean much to many whose religion does not o.iuse them to rejoice at the birth of Jesus; it is celebrated with hen' tines4* and happiness by those who do not believe in anv religion; hv those of alien f.niths and strange; it is a t.irm? of iov and hanpiness to thousands of ^hild^en who have little or no understanding of its religious significance: it is warm in the hearts of *nv men nnd "'oiren as a time of reioicinp\ of neighborlv love, of friendshin .of kinship. quite apart from its being the natal day of the Carpenter of Nnrareth. Christmas mean? peace on earth, (rood will to men. It means an nnpning of hearts. Tt means thourM for 'he Poor and needy. Tt means bringing joy to children who otherwise and other ti,v,es have little joy. Tt means love in the heart. It means brotherhood. There i? no brotherhood without a fatherhood: there is no brotherhood of man without a Fatherhood of God. and so even those who know nothing * * * if there be such * * * of the dav. 1,022 years ago, which Christmas celebrates; even such as these, in giving from the snirit of Christmas, are led in spite of themselves, back to the Creator. Christmas * not a time for philosophy, but a beautiful time to profe that even philosophy must vie'd to the spirit of the Yule log. which brines to _ 11 :-a.: 1 T AT ?I. ~ ? us an. ^ 11 n^uaii aim ut-w. hhimjihimedan and Buddhist, he.athen and believer, just and unjust, alike, the unification of that love which, alone of all forces in the world, can ever make it wholly a place for brotherhood. o "When doctors disagree, who shall decide ?" It is impossible for any one to say now whether or not Oregon ?<,^ool law is or is not constitutional. Those who drew it. those who passed it. those who want it. say it is. Those who find in it obiectional features say it isn't! Only the court, can decide. The Oregon school law has been much misrepresented by its enemies. Thus, no less a Catholic dignitary than Archbishop Michael J. Curley, of Bpltimore. savs of it: "The anti-Catholic organization that sponsored the un-American Oreeon school bill is now planning similar action for other states, with the fir.al purpose of adding such legislation as nn end men t to the American Constitution. "The Oregon law does not become effective for four years, and in the meantime it is planned to carry the work to other parts of the Union with the object of creating such an atmosnhere as made the prohibition .amendment. "The whole trend of such legislation is a state socialism, setting up an omnipotent stato that shall claim ownership of individuals, body and soul, on the principles of Karl Mark, the German socialist, whose teachings, put into practice, have created soviet Russia." * Un-Americ.an, state socialism, omnipotent state, ownership of bodv and soul," all this about a bill which re quires children to attend a public school five months in the year! Tts opponents say of the hill that it will "destroy the private school," that it. "will crush the parochial school," that it "tekes from the parent the ifrht to determine what his child shall learn," md a lot of similar misstatements. There are twelve months in a year; the hill calls for public school attendance during1 but five. The parents in Oregon have the same control of what their schools teach as those of any other state; where is the i "taking- away the right to say what the child shall learn?" It is not for us to say what the' courts will hold .about the Oregon i school law. That is for the fut?ve. ! But in the interests of fair play, let us not befog the issue by saying of the law that which is not so!?Contributed. 0 ? 5 Survey Shows Federal Taxes are , Higher Than in 1919.

This organisation contends that instead of a reduction of tnxes, there 'v\s been an increase compared with 1010.

The report] of the conference contends, however, that inasmuch as the 1921 dolVir%had a purchasing power of 26.9 per cent less than the 1919 dollar, Federal taxes in 1921 were actually 15 per cent higher than in 1919. The National Industrial Conference was not concerned in this report with partisap politics, so it did not take the trouble to point out that a Democratic administration was in power in 1919. The Harding administration came into control of the Government in 1921. o Hipher Cost of Livi** a Sign of Prosperity?for Profiteers. At a time when business of any kind *nf\v bo ratrd as an "extra hazardous" un'iprtnk'ng?as reve.nled by the unprecedented number of comp^ercial failures in the country?the cost of living shows a steady upward nrocr^ss month after month. The T?epublican doctrine that high prices s?t*e at once a promoter and a proof of prosperity seems to be confounded by recent statistics. The monthly index number of averri<re commercial prices, compiled bv Dun's Review as of December 1, 1022. shows .in increase of 156 per cent ovev that for November?at the rate of 19% per cent a year. Compared wi*h the index number for July 1. 1021?four months after President Harding's inauguration?the index number for December. 1022, shows an increase of 16 per cent. Nearly all commodities underwent increases in price. The largest increase was in foodstuffs, which showed an advance of per cent, eomTYired with November. There was a rise of 2V? per cent in textile materials and clothing, which are excessively protected by the profiteers' tariff act.

C., and to be relayed through it:? relay offices in Wilmington, N. C., and Charlotte, N.

That by the Act of Congress, approved June 18, 1910 (36 Stai. L , 539), the Congress of the United States entered and assumed charge of regulating the field of interstate communication by telegraph and thereby removed and exempted such interstate communication by telegraph from the field of State regulation or inteiference. 3. That the Act of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, entitled "An Act to Prescribe the Duty of Electric Telegraph Companies as to Receiving and trans mitting Despatches, to Prescribe Porunties fov Violation thereof, and for Other Purposes," approved February 19, 1920 (31 Stat., page 725), which requires every elcctric telegraph company with a line of wires wholly or partly within thi? and engaged in telegraphing for the public to transmit anu *.?envoi impartiality and good# faith and with due diligence all despatches receive'd by it, under penalty of One Hundred Dollars for failure so to do, such penalty to be recovered by suit in an> Court having jurisdiction thereof, by . either the sender of the despatch o< the person to whom sent or directed, whichever may sue first, under which the present suit has been instituted, is unconstitutional, null and v?,id. because in contravention of Article 1, Section 8, Subdivision 3 of the Constitution of the United States conferring power on Congress to regulate commerce among the several States, and of the Acts of Congress passed in pursuance thereof, and especially the Act approved June 18, 1910, and appearing in ^6 Statutes a* Large, page 539, whereby Congress assumed complete and exclusive control of the entire field of interstate communication by telegraph. The magistrate found for the plaintiffs the sum of one hundred dollars in each case.
