SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 ■be Months .75 Three Months .50 For Fingerprinting Everybody A bill has been introduced in Congress to require all foreigners living in or entering this country to have their fingerprints record ed in the great file of millions of similar prints in the Department cf Justice in Washington. An inquiry made by the fore most experts -in sounding out public opinion shows that 84 per cent of the American people favor this procedure. The idea is not new. FJor the use of • finger prints as a means of iden tification in China and the Orient generally is as old as .civilization. A merchant’s thumb print is accepted as his signature on bank checks in some parts of India; finger-prints are sufficient sigrfature on receipts for wages or promissory notes elsewhere in the Far East. Another pending bill would re quire fingerprinting everybody. The idea that everybody ought to be fingerprinted, by preference Immediately after being bom, and the prints kept on record for identification at any later time, was first 'popularized by Mark Twain in his novel “Pudd’n- head Wilson,” many years ago. long before that scientific men had worked out the system now in use by which everybody’s finger prints can be compared with the flies in Washington and almost instantly either identified or prove that they have never been recorded. The growth of public sentiment in favor of finger-prihting everybody is indicated, by a recent report of the Institute ,cf Public Opinion, showing that 71 per cent of Americans are in favor of it. It would seem tc us that the only persons who have a right to ob ject are those who have done something they don’t want any one to find out about.

NOTICE OF TAX SALE -xx- We Can Afford- By Benjamin Franklin Tbere are many good things wfuch we can all afford, regard- 2e» of our circumstances: We can all afford to give freely the best that we have, because in Sfving it we have it doubly. We can well afford to doubt a seemfrig injustice, because God’s Jaw is sure. We can well afford to be toler ant of the opinions of others, be cause, if we are growing, our own views are certain to change. We can well afford to believe that which is good, because only the good is true. We can well afford a seeming sacrifice for the right, because any ether side is a losing side. We can well afford any effort 'which adds to the richness of our inner life; because any good from without can reach us only through an affinity with the good ■we have cultivated within. We can well afford to be cheer ful in apparent defeat, for we have not lost irreparably while we xitfU ha' ! ’? the spirit to cheer. Principles alone are enduring. Personality, appearance, manner isms. all these change continually. Serving God is doing good to r — —Greenville Piedmont, Feb. 3.
