Bad For All Religion
An interesting and unusual case was heard in the United States Supreme
Court last week when Chief Justice Hughes availed himself of the oppor
tunity, with voice “vibrant with feeling”, to uphold the right of free wor
ship.
It seems that one Jesse Cantwell was crusading against the Catholic
church by going about playing a phonograph record in which that church
was branded as a “racket”, a “wicked power”, and a “fraud and a deception.”
Chief Justice Hughes is quoted as saying: “I suppose these Catholics
have some right of religious freedom also. I suppose they have the right
to be left alone and not be assaulted with scurrilious denunciation of their
most cherished faith.”
The fact that some moron goes about playing such a record is not going
to hurt the Catholic church. But the remnant of feeling which exists in
Protestant churches against the Catholic church is bad for all churches. We
say remnant, for it is evident that this spirit is not what it was at one
time. Wider education has brought about tolerance and time is not far off
when Catholics will be left alone to worship as they please without criticism.
There is much the Protestant churches can learn with profit from the
churdh of Rome; solidarity of purpose, reverence of worship, care of the
poor and sick, devotion of its priests and nuns.
No church has a “corner” on the right road to salvation. The China
man praying before the shrine of some ancestor may be conforming more to
will of the Almighty than the “Christian” who denounces his practice.
That which was delivered “once and for all to the Saints” is susceptible
to varying interpretation; there are as many religions as there are people,
where people think for themselves. In such a situation no one has a right
to judge anyone else except by such virtues as love, charity, and upright
ness. Beyond that his life and his mode of worship are finally to be judlged
by one only.
Nothing Will Be Settled
The legislature has decided upon the democratic way of testing the wet
and dry sentiment of the State this summer, but whatever the vote nothing
will be settled. Even an overwhelming vote for or against liquor would
leave the problem just where it is now. There is no solution to the liquor
problem except for people to quit drinking it and the cure for that lies not
in legislation but in education.
Will They Cut It?
Facing a deficit of two to five million dollars, the legislature seems to
be doing nothing more important at the present than idling, or rather, coast
ing. What form the revenue bill will take to make up this deficit no one
seems to know, not even members of the legislature.
A Newberry county member of the legislature is of the opinion that
there is nothing else to do but cut the garment to fit the cloth. But
the cutting is going to have to be done in the higher bracket appropriations
and that means public welfare, colleges and such like. This being election
year it is doubtful if the law-making gentlemen will dare cut the old folks
and the colleges.
If we are to keep on spending there is only one solution as many states
have already discovered. The sales tax is a producer of revenue without
equal; is more or less painless and thru it there is a possibility of reducing
property tax.
We don’t like the sales tax idea but it seems we are living in an age
where everybody must be taken care of and business and industry are al
ready carrying more than their share of taxes.
A sales tax would solve the problem in South Carolina but would have
little chance of passing the present general assembly, and the governor has
already promised to veto any such legislation.
Between the devil and the sea, the solons must make up their minds
whether they will cut, and stay at home next year, or pass the buck in
some way until the next session.
In the year 1939 more than 93 per cent of the drivers involved in
fatal auto accidents were male, and less than seven percent were females.
This would seem to prove that women are safer drivers until it is remem
bered that there are many times more men than women drivers.
George Waters of the Johnston Herald sagely observes: “Your com
munity needs you. Your energy, your brains. Your business ability would
be a great help toward making your home town bigger and better. You
can help the other fellow to get the dollars which will in turn bring you
business, or keep your business from slipping away.”
The Most Embarrassing Moment
In Man's Experience ....
Is When He Stands
Before the Unmarked
Grave
of a Loved One
Spring, when all nature puts on new color, is
the ideal time to attend to that important matter of
suitably marking the resting place of departed loved
ones.
Our many years experience in designing and
constructing appropriate and dignified memorials en
ables us to be of greater service to you. Hundreds
of lovely memorials in which the tribute of the living
is carved into everlasting stone have been designed
by us and created in our modern plant.
Plan now to let us build a memorial that
will forevermore show to the world your
regard for those you love.

NO SALES TAX; no other tax. We
must cut the garment to the cloth.
All we need is a little eommonsense
in State finance. No high falootin
scheme or finespun theory can take
the place of the time-proved wisdom
of spending less than income, for
safety. Another maxim of our
fathers’ was “don’t bite off more
than you can chew”. Well, for some
time we have been choking on the
wad we bit off.
It seems to me that the information
service J. Roy Jones is advocating
for his department of Agriculture is
very desirable. The greatest need of
Carolina farmers is a marketing ser
vice on a state-wide scale. In most
of our counties something is being
done now, but it is entirely inade
quate.
As I heard the plan explained, Mr.
Jones will keep a record of everything
offered for sale by farmers—I mean
those who inform him—and trucks
coming to this state seeking farm pro
ducts can learn by a telephone call
what surpluses are for sale and by
whom. Boiled down it is very sim
ple and should be very timely and
helpful.
The Chamber of Commerce is the
one organization representing all the
town in all matters of general inter
est. The chamber of commerce is the
scouting party and advance troop of
the general economic development of
the community; and. in some respects,
it is an adjunct of the churches in
their civic service.
If I were trying to explain some
phase of the chamber’s work I might
make it clearer to tell something
about the Charleston chamber of com
merce and its work than to speak in
abstract terms.
For many years, the Charleston
Chamber was devoting itself to the
ordinary routine of a local business
center.' I know nothing about the
aspect of its work. But in the last five
or six months the Charleston eham
ber has not only aroused its own
people along civic and political
but it has developed a missic
spirit which is bearing fruit thrc
out the state. I am not a memb

wages there wouk. be no capital.
One of the greatest romances is the
industrial development of the United
States; and those romances most ap
pealing to me are those which con
verted raw products into new articles
of common use, thereby promoting
the comfort of millions and broaden
ing the scope of each one’s service.
One such builder as that is worth
more to South Carolina than any
hundred men in public life in this
state within a generation. Because
of such endeavor thousands have had
a chance to work with dignity and
self respect, doing useful service to
mankind, contributing to the support
of towns and schools and churches
and paving heavily to the support of
the nation.
The state and nation are enlarging
their participation in business.
Business, if intelligently guided,
must have an eye on Colunjbia, as well
as on Washington; but one chamber
can’t do much, there must be a group
effort; there must he a mass attack
comparable to the old Macedonian
Phalanx.
The congress under recent decisions
of the Supreme Court could regulate
the activity of bam yard hens if
their eggs should pass into interstate
commerce, even as part of a cake.
The great court has reversed itself
within the last seven years so that
no lawyer can tell what the law is
or will be. Apparently state sover
eignty is almost reduced to a mem
ory. Trying to establish a uniform
value for work either means that
drones and parasites are to be cod
died, or that superior work and am
bition shall no longer be allowed free
play. By some of our laws a busi
ness man is condemned before he
even gets into court.
Business men of the state must
work together and the business of the
various states must work together to
protect themselves against theorists
who never managed a business, yet
seek to control all business. We are
afflicted with a lot of mushroom, eco
nomists in high places, who are like
the man who expects his vegetables
and chickens to be like pictures in
the catalogue. All the influences
dominant in public life today are
trying to spend what business earns,
even before it is earned.

our fathers. That is no idle statement
Men need an incentive to work and
the greatest incentive is the hope of
reward. It isn’t in human nature to
do much more than we are compelled
to do, if we all share alike. And this
world of ours, especially this great
country of ours, was built by men
who worked their way through the
ranks, either by superior ability or
by greater application. Whenever
we share on a level it will sooner or
later be the level of the lowest
group, if we all share alike.
There is a lot of loose talk of doing
business without a profit; or the re
moval of the profit motive in business.
I should be entirely in favor of do
ing business without a profit motive,
if all those who draw wages and
salaries would work for nothing. It
is rather striking that much of the
talk about doing business without a
profit motive is by men drawing good
salaries, many of them receiving sal
aries from endowments. Where would
all our industries be without profits?
Capital is only unspent profits. With
