C £ > ood fai th with the reader .and the foundation of all jour +n in* 1 til y of the name;” fair play both sides of a questiofn tne right of expression through the press, regardless of personal basis. hese things, m the code of ethics now formally adopted by the North Caro xrn!Lir£ess ~a ssoci ation are not, in North Carolina editors’ handling, mere words. The liberalizing of the North Caro lina press has been making good pro gress for many years. North Caro lina . still has its journals of avowed partisan function, and it is difficult for them to follow these principles at all times; “fidelity to public interest” they would claim no less stoutly than independent papers; but the public in terest must always, first if all, be translated into terms of party service, whenever the party is involved. Nevertheless, there has been a lib eralizing all along the line of news paper endeavor. Perhaps the news paper workers may lay no claim to this as a result of the leaven of vir tue within them; they have been deal ing with a public becoming hourly more sophisticated; a nuhlic constant ly trained by advertising, most of which appears in the columns of the newspapers themselves, to demand re liable products, and to detect artificial coloring matter. At any rate, those who publish un der the banner of independence man age to maintain a high standard of accuracy and candor most of the time, and even the party papers are usually trustworthy in their news reports. The best of our tribe, no doubt, have still a long ways to go before achievement of the ethical ideal, there fore it is well for President Sherrill to hold up this ideal before us, and for the association to declare adher ence to it. But the procession moves in the right direction, and the people who part with their money for the editor’s product are all the while get ting more and more real value in re turn for it. Os course, the most of us follow conventional lines in our thinking; or if we think boldly and freely, and dis cover that truth does not follow con ventional lines, abstain from a suici dal affronting of the public conviction. But it s plain enough that success ful journalism, successful in public service, may not proceed too far in advance of the mass; it must keep touch, go along with the folks. The leader who is always a hill or two ahea<J must, have a powerful voice in deed to reach back to the led. And one office of the press is, by common - consent, leadership. Nor can it do any harm to remind the brethren tha ta body of journal istic ethics necessarily includes de cency, in the sense of avoiding what ever is intended to excite the baser sides of men or “ to pander deliberate ly to vicious instinct.” Although there is not much temptation to that sort of indecency in North Carolina; not in the newspaper business, at any rate. Nobody has ever made much of a success at it. But it is more to the point that we should all pray to be delivered from fear, and from the temptation to curry favor with the powerful, and those who have long purses. Take us as a tribe we have always been poor, and it is a fact that there are those who still regard our trade as a sort of mendicancy; who expect that, if we refuse to do their bidding for a piece of money, we will at least not dare to do their for bidding, lest they destroy us. After all, our contract with the pub lic is simple and reasonable; we un dertake to find all the essential facts of a certain sort, classified as news, and report them faithfully and with out fear or favor. We add our opin ions, good or poor, of these facts; and we permit others to do the same; and we add more or less in the way of entertainment. But if we stick to the job of serving up the facts, under- and in reasonably good English, the public will stand by us through thick and thin. Because the public thas found that it is absolutely necessary for it to have the facts. Secret of a Long Life. You sometimes see a woman whose old age is as exquisite as was the per fect bloom of her youth. You wonder how this came about. Here are some of the reasons; She knew how to forget disagree able things. She mastered the art of saying pleasant things. She did not expect too much from her friends. She made whatever work came to her congenial. She kept her nerves well in hand and inflicted them on no one. She retained her illusions and did not believe all the world wicked and unkind. She relieved the miserable and sym pathized with the sorrowful. She never forgot that kind words and a smile cost nothing, hut are price j less treasures to the discouraged. , She did unto others as she would , be done by, and now that old age has | come to her and there is a a halo s of white hair about her head, she is loved and considered. This is the sec- I ret of a long life and a happy one.— Exchange.

Do you not hate the false you knew No, I love more the good and true. Do you not mourn for work undone? No, I rejoice for triumphs won.

(By Camilla Gilmore) In memory of Guy Webster, a for mer schoolmate, died March 18, 1923. On the eighteenth of March, 1923, Sunday afternoon, near 5 o’clock. At St. Leo’s Hospital, in Greensboro The death Angel came and knocked. It came right in and took away, A son, brother and devoted friend, By his bedside his mother and dad Watched faithfully unto the end. When he left them, he left with smile And fled straight home to God, He left behind him his sorrows, cares And the earthly path that he trod. His place is vacant in home and school Which can never be filled again, But we feel assured that loss on earth Is his Eternal gain. No more his brilliant face we see, No more his voice we hear, And when we think of the friend that is gone There flows to our eyes a tear. 9 But we shouldn’t grieve, for God’s chosen flowers Are always the purest and best,-"-: Therefore we know by his conduct on earth That he has gone home to rest. His character was that of a gentleman His talent was mastered with care, Ard his mannerly deeds of good Formed friends by scores every where. While we say he has gone and left us Let us hope for only a while, Let us hope there’ll be a reunion Between friends, sister, parents and child. Heaven retaineth now this school boy Earth the lonely casket keeps, And we will always love to linger Around the mound where he sleeps. Let us not be grieved, dear people, Let us live bettter day by day For we will soon be called to travel That same straight and narrow way. BUILD A HOME NOW! SEARCH FOR HIDDEN MONEY. • - ' Statesville Sentinel. An American farmer who setled in Regina, Sask., ten years ago, buried $3,500 in a field. He had five thous and. The money that he cashed was the balance he had left after buying the farm. The farmer mistrusted banks. He felt, as a few men have, that nothing ca ? h a PPen to real gold coin when safely concealed, and nobody can take it as nobody knows where it is. He decided that a secret hiding place was the safest vault. The farmer froze to death. He had forgotten or neglected to leave a sug gestion for finding the money. Per haps he had thought that it would be time enough to divulge the secret when on his deathbed. Most human beings are honest and most banks are safe. This is a state ment that must be true; were it not society could not endure. Men must be just and faithful to one another; otherwise they could not repose con fidence in one another and could not’ do business, or get along understand -I Tn Hanks are run by men, and ail but a very few of them are man aged conscientiously. Here and there, now and then, some body believes that he has good reas ons for doubting human nature. His experience has been disappointing. So he concludes to make assurance doubly sure by trusting no one hut himself. Ihe heirs of the Canadian farmer have been searching for nearly ten years for the thirty-five hundred dol lars stored away in the earth. They have conducted searching expeditions They have moved atones, and spaded up the ground; but have- not found the cache. How many years would it take to dig up every foot of ground on a large farm, or a fairly large farm? How many years would it take to find all the places, in and out of buildings in which money could be concealed? The spades might touen the earth within a fraction of an inch of the gold, yet not uncover it. The biggest gamble is digging for hidden money. The surest way, and ultimately the easiest way, to find money is to work for it. Work never fails to product money, unless it is the work of dig ging for it. The heirs who are try ing to find the farmer’s buried treas ure are more likely to find it if they do not look for it. They certainly will acquire more money by not look ing for the gold, not digging for it. There is no chance in doing, regular, gainful work. This kind of work nev er fails to bring gain. THE PRINTER’S EFFORTS. A great many times you will hear some near-do-well say that the news paper in some particular county is no good. It has no news in it or that the editor Is 5 crank, or some slgiH remark that is intended to injure the paper. - Did you ever stop to think that the printer-man was busy seven days in the week, working and planning to get up all the news he can for you to read, and that half that he does get he cannot print. Suppose the editor of any paper would disregard the heartaches that might be caused and publish every thing he hears and corroborates? There would be many separations, folks would leave town and hide, the court dockets would be filled to over flowing and death and despair would often follow in the wake of facts that can be learned by a newspaper man. No, we cannot afford to publish ev erything, but this paper like most of its competitors makes an effort to publish only that news that is prefer red by the subscribers. Very few people want the public to know all they do and say and we abide by the desire. TURLINGTON ACT IS DRASTIC. Statesville Landmark. “What would you do if a friend in vited you into his office to have a drink?” inquired a member of the lo cal bar during the past week. “Is this an invitation?” “Hypothetical question only,” re sponded the attorney emphatically. “I’d do the same thing you would do.” “Well, you would be guilty of vio lating the law and you could get four years for it—two years for having liquor in possession and two years for transporting.” “Where do you get that transport ing count?” “You transport it to your lips, don’t you?” “You’re serious about this, are you?” “Yes, I’m serious,” replied the at torney; “and it’s something the pub lic ought to know about. If you take a drink of liquor anywhere but in your own home, you have violated the Turlington act and you are liable on two counts. A prominent judge ruled that way recently. And what’s more, the man who gives it to you is liable on three counts—having in possession, giving and transporting. The court can give him six years.” “Aw, no court is going to pass any; such sentence at that.” “Well, I’m not talking about what the court would do; I’m telling you what the law is.” “I had no idea this new law was as drastic as all that.” He paused de liberately. “There’s this compensa tion about it, it’s going to make the home more popular. It’s going to re vive the old custom of ‘calling.’ Nice old custom anyway—ought to be re vived.” Policemen at “Copperß. w Police Commissioner Enright of New York once said the word “cop" is composed of initials of “constabu lary of police,” but other authorities say it is an English expression, a short ening of the word “copper,” as the English policeman Is called. Sir Robert Peel, as prime minister of Britain, in itituted the first London police forces The men were nicknamed “bobbies’* ind “peelers.” Later they wore a. helmet with a heavy band of copper" over the crown. This was kept bur nished and they soon were called “coppers” as a result.
