THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION I
Entered at th? Pout Office at Louls
tori. N. C., aa second claaa matter.
It appears that -Secretary Mellon's
tax plan la going to have hard sail
ing In the next Congress.
Frank H. Hitchcock, Postmaster
General In President Taft'e cabinet,
will have charge of Senator Hiram
Johnson's campaign tor the nomina
tion for President on the Republican
ticket, according to reports.
The tobacco Co-operatives have an
nounced that a third payment on the
1922 crop of tobacco will soon be made
and that this will not be all ? a fourth
payment will be made later. Better
look out. It may surprise you yet.
Quite a lot has been said about Hen
ry Ford being an aspirant for Presi
dent. It occurs to us that It would
be well for htan or "his friends" to
state definitely as to bis former poli
tics. Surely he can not be so politic
that he Is afraid to say where he
stands.
I m letting Uie dogs do the growl
ing," said a gentleman to another In
the TIMES office Tuesday In the
course of the usual greetings when
' two friends meet. What a lesson can
be learned from that remark. Quite a
large number of us would feel a great
deal better and get much more out of
life If we would adopt the same me
thod.
The position of the crew of the
"Rum Runner" captured this week by
the U. B. Government reminds us of
the old negro In Jail who had Bent tor
m lawyer, who after hearing the ne
groes tale said to him "why Sam they
can't put you In ]all for that." And
8*m answered "Well Boss I don't
know what they can do but thy'se
done and done ft."
Governor Morrison, according to
Tuesday's reports, maintains that
McBrayer should be removed from of
fice, stating that the Statute is direct
mandate from Legislature and neces
sity for removal Is not affected by ap
peal to Supreme Court. Anyway why
should we have a law if we are not go
ing to enforce it. And why is one
man any better than another to abide
by its consequences. We maintain
that if McBrayer violated that law then
he should be put o' t or the law re
pealed and he should not be allowed
to hide behind any little technicali
ties.
The question Is where is the liquor
and *why tlie crew locked up? Two
government cutters captured a rum
running ship off the -coast this week
and took the ship and crew into cus
tody as well as 200 caseB of whiskey
and "Running Bill" McCoy, the alleg
ed owner of the whiskey. The crew,
according to reports were locked up.
The ship was just within the 12-mile
limit. It seems that two government
department are confused about the
transaction; one contending that the
seizure was right and the other wrong.
And in the meantime the crew and the
owner were locked up. No doubt they
are somewhat puzzled.
There should be gome method of
enforcing the law requiring all ani
mal!) dlelng from natural causes to
be burled. We understand there Is
an epidemic of hog cholera In Frank
lln comity that la causing the loss of
thousand* and thousands of pounds of
meat. And according to our Informa
tion the spread of the disease has
been augmented by people throwing
the dead carcases of cholera hogs in
the old fields Instead of burying them
?a the law requires. At present the
?nforcement of the law, so we learn,
depend* upon a person reporting his
neighbor and then pro-ring that the
hog had cholera, which la next to Im
possible to ? technical court. Some
thing that will get results should be
dons to relicT* ? section of such epi
~W: T -j.
\ ' v* * \
It oaeurs to us that It the newspa
stop talMa* so much
?ko?t the K. K. K. sad assist la play
tag ay sensationally rrery little act
that la teas and is laid at the Klan'a
door therv would not be quite bo much
activities along these objectionable
lines. There Is absolutely no <jues?
tlon about the (act that each report
has been exagerated, either by the
victim or the over tealous reporter.
We believe there are many cases the
parties administering the punishment
whether K. K. K.'s or not are Justifi
able and would receive the commen
dation of some of their wost critics
If the latter had to undergo some of
the embarrassments of the former. In
fact we have in mini a case now that
the Courts have tried to handle and
failed, and we don't think the good
people of the community would be
guilty of any crime to produce the re
lief they are entitled to and have fail
ed to get. We believe the critics are
going too far wjth their criticisms.
The Klan has Just the same right to
exist and keep its secrets as the Wood
men, the Mason's, the Knight of Co
lumbus or any other order. And the
[act that they have a prescribed uni
form Is no reason to condemn them as
criminals nor to charge them with
ill the meanness and lawlessness hap
pening In this United States.
TO BUILD A TOW>'
A Business Men's organization can
work wonders for any town by direct
ing the united activities of a commu
nity in the right channel. It U true
Loulsburg can't be made to grow
much more by a spirit of discounting
pur present business institutions And
encouraging the duplication of them
to the detriment of all. The spirit
that should be encouraged would be
to foster the support of the enterpris
es we have. To teach all our citizens
and institutions that the way to make
a town better is for all to support and
help make better our present enter,
prises. Or that it is Just as much
necessary for oiir business men to
trade with their home institutions as
it Is for their home Institutions and
others to trade with them. The rule
must apply both ways before it will
work successful. For instance If
Loulsburg has an enterplse, even
though It may not be giving entire
satisfaction. It Is the duty of all Louls
burg. business men and others, to ex
tend his or her patronage, counsel
and effort! to making that a success
and what is desired. Instead of lend
ing Influence and encouragement to
the establishment of others of the
same kind. It will be found that the
proprietor is sincere in his efforts to
make a success, and will appreciate
advice given In a co-operative and
sincere spirit. Loulsburg needs no
more merchants, no more lawyers, no
more banks, no more doctors, no more
more most any kind of business that
It already has. The town is not large
enough to juBtlfiy the proper conduct
of more than it has at present, and
further duplication will tend to weak
en all. What we need is the support
of what we have. There is enough
business In Loulsburg to support the
enterprises we have if the people of
the town and county will support them.
And If they won't support the present
Institutions how can it be reasonably
expected that they will support oth
ers of a like kind.
One of the biggest objects for which
a business men's organization Is form
ed is to encourage the establishment
of new enterprises. To benefit a town
and community and not injure its
present enterprises the organization
should build up a spirit that would
encourage the getting of new. insti
tutions of a different kind. Something
that will open a new branch of busi
ness and help ail ? the new comers as
well as the old establishments. It Is
to be hoped that the Influence of the
Business Men's Association of Louls
burg will cause our people to take a
broader view of their responsibilities
as citizens and direct their efforts
along big and broad lines that will
not only build new enterprises but
will build the old ones as well.

A school teacher was very much an
noyed by the continued mischievous
ness of one of her boys. At last she
exclaimed In exasperation; "I wish
I could be your mother for just about
one week. I'd rid you of that horri
ble disposition." ? ?
"Very well," replied the youngster
coolly, "I'll speak to father about It."
"Why did you leave your old board
log house?"
"Well, their cow died and we had
nothing but beef, beef, beef. Then
their hog died and we had nothing but
pork, pork. pork. Last week the land
lord's grandfather died."
A clergyman, anxious to sell some
new hymn books wrote a notice and
gave It to the preacher. Having oth
er announcements besides the clergy
man who was deaf he read one con-*
cernlng the baptism of infants. The

notice got dp and said, "And I wish to
say for the benefit of those who haven't
any, that they may be obtained from
me any day between three and (our
o'clock. The ones with a red back at
25 cents and the ordinary little ones
at 15 cents each.
Freddie ? Mother why hasn't father
any hair on his head?
Mother ? Because he thinks a lot.
Freddie ? Mother why have you got
so much hair.
Mother ? Finish your breakfast,
Freddie.
