Said the Kingfish re cently : / Let me tell you people that there is one sure way to avoid Huey Long for President —and only one, if I live—and that is by adopting God's laws. Take them and I pass into significance. The dictator, be he as clownish as Huey as or grim as Hitler, does not rise out of a vacuum. Nearly always he rises when those who have held power have been so inept or so corrupt that the people are willing to take a desperate chance at something bet ter. Generally it is a pretty bad bet on the Eart of the pfeople but generally also it is a et made in a desperate time. Where there is good government, honest government, government shaped in terms of the people's welfare, the people take lit tle interest in Hueys or Hitlers. But where the laws of God and man are disregarded by those who distort democracy into a system beneficial to the few and oppressive to the many, the time has come to expect the ap pearance of some variety of Kingfish or Fuehrer. PROLONG YOUR OWN LIFE One of the most significant trends in ad vancing, or prolonging, human life is the stress that is being laid on perodical health examinations. There are many diseases that kill only because of ignorance that they exist. People think they are well and for that reason ignore the sound advice of leading physicians that they allow themsel ves to be examined regularly by thoroughly trained and scientific men. There are many diseases that begin in sidiously, without throwing pain into the body to warn the victim. They can be de tected by a competent examination and ar rested at inception, but if allowed to develop unmolested, invariably kill. Readers of this newspaper have seen this idea before in our columns. They will see it again. In the meantime, there is no sense in reading our warning unless you act upon it. That means, be examined at once. If you think you are well and sound, see that you are. JAPAN'S NAVAL PLANS News from the Far East is not peaceful, regardless of constant assurances from the Japanese afficials that the island empire is working for peace. New demands on China, threats of inva vion and talk of a new status are followed by news that Japan is taking steps to build up a Chinese navy "without cost to Nan king." It is known that the Manchukuo navy includes one cruiser "transferred from the Japanese navy." At the same time, the word is that the new Chinese cruiser will be able to use only Japanese coal and muni tions. Meanwhile, high Japanese officials insist that Japan will not increase her navy in vio lation of the limitation in the navy treaty. Why should she do so as long as she can create, outside treaty limits, navies for Man chukuo and China? WATCH THE ADVERTISER When a citizen opens a business in this town he has a right to look for the cordial co-operation of all citizens here. They should, as far as business judgment war rants, give him their business. Let every good citizen bear this in mind. Advertisers in this newspaper are those business men who insist that you come to see them. Every time they put an adver tisement in our columns they invite the pub lic to judge them on their merits. No mer chant advertises unless he thinks he has the goods; as loyal boosters for this town it is the business of every local builder to see whether he is right before giving business to other sections. BRISBANE'S AERIAL GHOSTS The eminent editorial writer, Arthur Bris bane, for whom we have the greatest ad-' miration and respect, sees spooks and ghosts every time aviation scores a spectacular tri umph. Miss Earhart's flight across the waters that separate our western coast from Hawaii made him see, at once, a mighty armada of 5,000 planes, bombing the coast, speeding to the east and tearing up our cities. Of course, he did not tell where the 5,000 planes were hidden at this time or what the American Army, Navy and Marine corps, flying machines would be doing while the "enemy" rained bombs upon us, but we feel hat, at that, he may wake us up to the nec »aity of an adequate air force—for defense. A WORTHWHILE GOVERNMENT PROGRAM The recent proposal that railroad grade crossing elimination be made a part of fed eral relief work during the current year is finding increasing support. It is supported by safety authorities, who know that such a program would do much to reduce and eventually eliminate the great loss of life due to crossing accidents. It is supported by railroad men, who know thaj; it would expedite and improve service, ft is supported by state governments, which realize the need for crassing elimination but! have no funds to devote to it. And it is supported by the general public and the busi-l ness man who knows that no form of pub lic works could do more to take up the slack in employment and stimulate heavy indus tries while at the same time not interfering with any private endeavors. This last phase of the proposal is not es pecially important, inasmuch as federal funds are disbursed with the principal stress laid on getting maximum employment for each dollar spent and encouraging private enterprise. In grade-crossing elimination, the greatest part of the money would go to workers, both on the job and in factories supplying cement, steel and other mater ials. And the revivifying effect of this would give empetus to employment. Safety, employment and public welfare will all be advanced if the government ac cepts the proposal There are some 30,000 grade crossings which have no protection and each year thousands of lives are un necessarily wasted because of accidents oc curring at them. Here the government has an opportunity to be of the utmost service to all the people. MILE OR CHILD News and Observer Doane Herring, for many years the chair man of the Wilson County school board, has drawn an interesting comparison from the bidget recommended to the General Assem bly by Governor Ehringhaus. He sets his findings up as follows: FOR ROADS: 1. $10,000,000 annually for maintenance of roads, gives an increase of over 60 per cent. This means $175.44 per mile, or 56.5 cents per day per mile, figuring 310 days to the year. FOR SCHOOLS: 2. $18,500,000 in lieu of the $16,000,000 appropriated in 1933 by the Legislature. This is an increase fo 15.6. This means $20.65 per year per child enrolled, or 12.9 cents daily for each child based on 160 days. It is readily seen that the proposal means that we are to spend annually $8.49 on a mile of road every time we spend SI.OO for the education of one of North Carolina's children. Maybe this is the comparative value which North Carolinians place on their roads and their children. If it isn't they should tell the Legislature so in such terms as will be clearly understood. BAD LUCK? An editorial in the Pathfinder says that we have no less than seven eclipses, five of the sun and two of the moon, predicted for this year. That is more than have fallen in any one year since 1805, and more than any year will see until the year 2435. The average year sees two eclipses of the sun and one of the moon, only a small fraction of which, of course, are visible in this section. All of the seven scheduled for this year will not be visible in this latitude. Two have already .occurred, one of the sun on Janu ary 5, and one of the moon on January 19, neither visible here. On February 3 there will be an eclipse of the sun which should be visible here if the weather permits. Then there will be another eclipse of the sun June 30, not visible here, followed by an eclipse of the moon on July 16 that will be visible here. Then Christmas will be mark by another. What a year this is for eclip ses! The writer in the Pathfinder says that eclipses have always been regarded as un lucky and points to the fact that in 1805 there was an overdose of trouble. He says that astrologers are predicting trouble for the tired old World this year, but, personal ly, w e prefer to forget that part of an other wise interesting editorial. ABOUT EDUCATION There are a number of readers of this newspaper who have not had the privilege of attending college. Some of them, no doubt, are under the idea that they are not "educated." They may be right, and they may be wrong. Education is not a question of going through any school or college, or university. One of the prime accomplishments of an educated man, as we see it, is to be able to cooperate intelligently with his fellow man. This means a willingness, as well as an abil ity, to get along with others members of the social group. No matter how much a man may know, or how many different de grees he may have, he is far from educated if he is, unable to meet his neighbors on common ground and work together for the common good. SPRING—JUST AROUND THE CORNER We are now on the sunny side of the year, advancing rapidft to budding trees, green grass, and flowers. We are fully aware that there is much cold, hard weather in store for us yet, but instead of looking forward to winter, we are looking forward to spring. Instead of thinking of coal bills, we are thinking of gardens, flower beds, and lawre. THE ROCK N. C.
