E. & F. D. Pres. & 1 WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIMES CAUSED BY LIQUOR? Lodge, S. C., January 10 ,1913. Editor Union Times: On a recent business trip I came in contact with a man who said it was his business to sell liquors to local illicit dealers. As a matter of course he did not know me nor what my business in life is, or he would not have told me so much about his business. What he wanted to learn was what the prospect for his kind of trade there might be in a little town not a hundred miles from where I live. After giving him the very limited information I had concerning the place 1 *uu:? - a. * - - - - - - i men turn nun wimi, my proiession is. This, itself, was a sufficient accusation so he began at once to defend his business. It was a very wordy defence, very illogical and very inadequate. His defense with full justice to all he said, was about like this: 1. The criminality and the sin of the drink habit rests entirely upon those who drink, and the manufacturers, and dealers are without guilt in the matter. 2. The world is in it for the dollar, only poverty is a crime, therefore he would make it his business to make money. This means, when properly understood, that whatever principle prevails is right, even though that principle, according to the highest moral code, be wrong. To further substantiate his position he said that the government made whiskey or permitted it to be made and therefore it must be right to sell it. Note the logic! "Whatever the government does or permits to be done is richt." The statement of <?ueh ar gument is its best refutation. When I asked him the question, "If you had a son, would you advise him to engage in the same business that you are engaged in?" he gave me no answer. He then informed me that this was his definition of life, and that he expected to live accordingly. This incident, though rather insignificant, set me to thinking. This man, of course, is one of the many who have a similar conception of life. To what extent do principles like the above prevail in the business world? I am not a pessimist. I do believe that there are tens of thousands of business men whose lives judged by the highest moral standard would be without reproach. Yet it must be admitted that there are too many whose conception of life is like the pirate mentioned above. Christianity is not merely a relim An A f* i T 4- 4- ?-? ?U/\r. < U,. f^iv/u VI otiinuiciil. 11 1/Cflltlic?> tut' highest code of morals known to the \ race and demands the strictest adherence to this code. Its purpose is to pervade and transform all life, and I lift it up to the highest moral plane, i All that men do, whether in business, or in the matter of creating and ad- < ministering government, is alike 1 amenable to God's sublime moral law. i Crime is a matter of cause and effect, i Whoever consciously sets in motion causes that end in crime, is blame- i worthy, and must answer sooner or i later for what he has done. Every ] crime is a culmination of processes, i The cause may be very remote from ] the consumation. For instance, a murder is committed. We will say < that liquor was the cause. The liquor was made by somebody, it was sold by somebody, it was used by some- ] body, but back of all this there is a cause, viz: the public sentiment 1 that permitted it to be done. The great public mind remains unmoved ' while such crimes are being perpetrated. Persistent and intelligent agitation is needed to arouse and direct public sentiment so that the people may not be victimized by selfish- < ness. We do not need the socialism that, has hapn iimt.lv cnnrlpmnpH. hut. we do need the kind of spirit that would forbid us to take any kind of step in business, or otherwise, that would conflict with the rights of others or jeopardize society. There are many interosts which proceed in this way, but chief among them all is the liquor business. This is not only unlawful in its character and methods, i but as a destructive force it is chief 1 among them all. It holds its mailed, < :y i ? co. BAUI A??l V.

We have created a government and have invested it with the power to debauch its creators. What we, as individuals, consider it morally wrong to do, this government does not. We must not carry and sell liquors, but the government which we have created may do so. We create a government and invest it with the power to impoverish and kill by dispensing alcoholic drinks and hold ourselves to be guiltless in the matter. "It" does it, we do not. But this is our creation. It is impersonal. Are not we the creators responsible for what we create? God will never judge a government as such, but he will judge those who are responsible for its creation and administration. That creature, the dispensary, is doing its dealy work. Is it guilty? No, let its crimes be crahged to those who by their ballot brought it into existence. Their bloody ballots will meet them in the day when Divine justice shall be the standard of judgment. Moreover, we not only create a government in vesting it with such iniquitious power, but we congratulate ourselves that we get the profits. Our creature, the government, takes the privilege of plunder from the individual, and hands it out to us, and we congratulate ourselves on our sagacity, and our innocence. Verily, there is guilt, and this guilt rests upon the perpetrators who do the deeds through governmental proxy. Judgment awaits. "What shall the harvest be?" J. C. Lawson.

Valuable Advice for Union Readers. Many a woman endures with noble patience the daily misery of backache pains about the hips, blue, nervous spells, dizziness and urinary disorders, hopeless of relief because she doesnt know what is the matter. It is not true that every pain in the back or hips is trouble "peculiar to the sex." Often when the kidneys get congested and inflamed, such aches and pains follow. You can tell it is kidney trouble if the secretions are dark colored, contain sediment; the passages are too frequent or scanty. Then help the weakened kidneys. Don't expect them to get well alone. Doan's Kidney Pills have won the praise of thousands of women. They are endorsed at home?Read this Union woman's statement: Mrs. Alice Ingram, 12 N. Hemdon St., Union, S. C., says: "I suffered from backache and weak kidneys and I got Doan's Kidney Pills from the Palmetto Drug Co. They did me a world of good and I am therefore, pleased to recommend them to everyone who has kidney trouble." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

In other words, it has been 57 years since Easter Day came as early as iviaren z.ira; and not until 95 years have rolled away will it come so early again. A great many things have happened since last Easter Day came so ; early; what will have happened when it comes so early again ? It is possible to know what has taken ( place during the 57 years that are i past, but as for the 95 years to come that is a closed book. Lent begins this year on February 5th, and this is the earliest coming of Ash Wednesday and Easter Day ; between now and the end of this century. Easter Day is always the first Sunday after the full moon happens upon or next after the twenty-first day of March. If the full moon happens upon a Sunday Easter i Day is the Sunday after. It is also interesting to note how I late in tne year master Day has octurred and will occur. In 1886 it occurred as late as April 25th, and this is the latest it has occurred since that time. It will not come so late as April 26th, again until the year 1943.?Greenville Daily News. |Cough,Cold| ISoreThroatl I Sloan's Liniment gives I I quick relief for cough, cold, I I V* r\n ? ? iN ?? /v 4 l? a a i. iiuax ogiicd?)* ?u1 u 111 1 u tl l| croup, asthma, hay fever and bronchitis.
