For Your LYES SOOTHES • CLEANSES • REFRESHES with tue mothers. I think of mothers who have gone t> the Golden Shore, after the strug gle and strain of arduous service here. But it was usually sweetened fcy a wiarm and constant faith in Je hovah and reliance on His mercy and guidance. The sweet-faced, devout mo;her lived close to her Lord. Perhaps a typical mother of the old school reared a numerous family, was their nurse, was the family cook and seamstress—a worker with little to relieve the drudgery and monotony except a sense of duty. I am thinking of my own mother and I recall her as typical of that womanhood which glorified all moth ers. What women blessed the earth in her youth! How they could work without ceasing, yet with that in telligence and spirit which relieved work of drudgery and transformed it into a precious service of reverent devotion. No automobiles, no movies, no cos metics, no electric ranges or refrig- erators;—few, indeed, of the mani fold convenances of today, yet they pei-formed herculean labors with a genius and competency which makes us remember them in wonderment. Nor did they neglect spiritual min istrations; most of us remember the Bible verses, the Sunday school les sons, and stories from the Bible. Ab raham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, David—were told and the moral pointed out. Mother’s finest teaching was her own life of consecration. Every day she lived her faith; it was no reli gious ornament worn on Sunday. Almost every man rich or poor, refined or rough, looks back on the days of childhood with deep emotion, for it brings to mind the gentle, so licitous mother, his first friend and helper, hi® first teacher and guide, his inspiration end solace a precious memory of guileless life and loving service. I have never understood exactly what was behind or beneath the pro- 2. To bring about a reclassifica tion of freight rates by the Devel opment of a barge service from Char leston to Columbia and Camden, through the cutting of an all-time barge channel. It was widely prom ised that reduced freight rates would be enjoyed by the Piedmont through Columbia as a Port. Certainly none of us thought of the gantee-Cooper as an incubator of politics. I need not dwell on that; everybody knows something at least of the politics of Santee-Cooper; but we did not vis ualize in our imagination the politi cal developments which might en sue—and which did ensue—from what was conceived to be a great economic project. I have tried to figure it all out; just why the Santee»Cooper, an in complete development in itself, should wish to buy two other com panies larger than the Santee- Cooper itself. It is true that the New Deal has either abrogated or superseded' the law® of economics, but some of us with thick heads still wonder how a concern, at the very beginning of its operations, and without any def inite knowledge of what it will cost to operate full time in a normal year, and while still in debt to the amount of twenty six million dollars, should blossom forth as a buyer of two other plants for about forty million dollars. To , a man of cold business it seemed like either the brilliant idea of superlative genius, or a political nightmare unrelated to facts. Where would the money come from? W e were told that bankers of New York and Boston would put up the money, accepting bonds in payment. My association with bank ers has never given me the idea that they are easy marks, or that they put up money carelessly. Now did the barfkers intend to buy these bonds for re-sale; or did they intend to hold the bonds for investment? In any ransaction involving the purchase of forty million dollars of bonds, bank ers usually find it necessary to pay somebody for representing them. Of course, it may be true, that here in South Carolina, with the spirit of disinterested service—mounting at times to eleemosynary service,—we may work without rest for the good Four members of the Music De- have a fine following of music lovers.

ADDRESS. an effort was being made -to sell a utility property in Texas they offer ed a lawyer 1 per cent of the book value of the properties, or $340,000. That percentage would have been nearly $400,000 in the proposed transaction in South Carolina. I do not mention a small split of $92,500 which came about in that sale at San Antonio, nor do I mention the addition' of ten million dollars to th e property for re-sale. With all these things going on, the Taxpayers league of Texas became very active and succeeded in stopping much that was going on. Among other things I find that a citizen’s committee had cut down the commission from 1 per cent to one-half per cent, but at the last minute it turned out to be not $175,000 but $509,000. When we read all these things we did not know what was what nor why in our South Carolina enter prise; nor did anyone in authority issue any clear and convincing state ment. We ate told, off the record, that if the Santee-Cooper did not acquire the Columbia properties the Federal government would do so; and that the Federal government had a little scheme to take over all the utility properties in South Carolina and to make a certain well-known govern ment favorite Federal Administrator. How to reconcile all these things was a bit puzzling to all of us. Organiz ed Business prepared and circulated a questionnaire which nobody ans wered. The only answer or refer ence to it, ha® been that I struck below the belt Some of us remember the days of the dispensary; and some of us know how South Carolina is governed to day. We know, that a political con trol of power would th e vital essence ( of business and industry subject to the whim or caprice of men in domi nant political positions. I have a warm regard for many men in public life; and I do not be lieve that I am either a cynic or un duly suspicious; but I have seen for tunes made and fortunes lost by con trol of water in political hands; and I have no doubt that there could be a possible analogy in the case of pol itical control of power. Even though my friends who spon sored this Santee-Cooper expans ion had wings and walked around with a halo I should still oppose it because it almost always happens that pre eminent virtue is followed by a let down. tion of both the gravity of Lewis’ defianct and the comfort given to the enemy moves him to patriotic in dignation suggests that congress en act a law declaring strikes during war to be treason and to require that strikers be held for trial with out bail. As a broadminded citizen he does not apply his strictures sole ly to labor, but would classify in like manner all who refused to co operate with the government on reas onable terms, as might be determin ed by the courts, if necessary. The forgotten article of the Fed eral Constitution—what is it? Article 10, which deals with the unsurrendered powers of the states, or the people. Says Article 10:“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor pro hibited by it to the states, are re served to the states respectively, or to the people.” The Manufacturers Record asks “What has happened to the Tenth amendment to the Constitution?” It ha® been forgotten. While some brilliant statesmen were straining at such expressions as the power of Congress, to “Promote the general welfare,” and interpreting it so broadly that it may mean anything, they overlooked the obvious purpose of the Constitution to limit the pow ers of Congress and to recognize th e rights of states. Men and women who have grown to maturity since the first World War are inclined to think only of the nation. But the Nation did not create the States; l!he States created the Nation, and they made a contract, which is the Constitution. One need not be a lawyer to see that the Federal gov ernment has pushed the states over | to the sidelines, in spite of the ' Constitution. Can we correct this? Is it likely that the National Govern ment will voluntarily relinquish the powers it has assumed? It seems to me that the states should speak out. Whenever a meas ure is proposed which invades the functions of a State or which would assume powers properly belonging to the states, the State legislatures should file a .protest. The States now have Legislative Councils for common concerns; and the governors have an organization. So why not keep alive the Federal union idea; the forty-eight federated states. The states should be alive and al ert for their soverign attributes. NO SERVICES AT BETHANY AND SUMMER MEMORIAL In order that teh pastor and the/ members of Summer Memorial and Bethany Lutheran churches may at tend the Newberry College Bacca laureate services at the Church of the Redeemer next Sunday morning, there will be no preaching services held in these churches next Sunday. However, Sunday school services will be held at both places. The members of the congregations are invited to attend the Baccalau reate services in the Church of the Redeemer at 11:30 o’clock a. m., and the program to be given by the Music Department in Holland Hall at 8:30 o’clock p. m. The men of the congregations are urged to attend the Newberry Con ference Brotherhood meeting at May er Memorial Lutheran church next Sunday afternoon at 4 oclock. Bil'IHfl A distinguished citizen submits an qpinion that John L. Lewis and his miners are guilty of treason against the United States according to the definition of treason by the Federal Constitution in Article 3, Section 3. “Treason against the United Stares, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and com fort.” So says the Constitution. Probably nothing which has taken 'place has been so helpful and com forting to our enemies as Mr. Lewis’ defiance and the miners’ strike.
