The State Democrat Convention
was a huge one. There was nothing
to do and it did it. With good roads
and hundreds of thousands of cars in
the state, a dog fight could draw a
crowd these days, so it is not sur
prising that the convention was a
record-breaker in size. Max Gardner
benefitted more than any. one else.
His speech just about cinched his
nomination for governor two years
hence.
A large proportion of the people of
this country seem intent upon multi
plying play grounds for the rich.
SliUioDß have been spent in Florida
developments and now millions are
being poured out in building hotels
and play grounds in North Carolina.
The trouble about it is that the more
who can afford to play, the harder
must the rest of the people work. It
would be fin£ if everybody could be
rich if it weren’t that there would
be a shortage of caddies and cooks.
It is quite evident that at least half
of us will have to keep on working.
The Raleigh Times has lost its
chief attraction in the checking out
of Editor Oscar J. Coffin, who will be
come professor of journalism at the
University next fall. In the mean
time, Mr. Coffin will edit a weekly at
Roanoke Rapids, presumably to get
an intimate knowledge of the prob
lem of the weekly press. The Times
editorials have been a delight for the
years Oscar Coffin has edited the pa
per. He thinks clearly and expresses
himself with a whimsicality that adds
freshness and flavor to the most seri
ous subject. He is bold but cautious,
even if he and the Times have been
sued by Rev. Mr. PentufT for libel in
calling him ignorant, a charge that
seems amply justified by the minis
ter’s letter informing Messrs. Parks
and Coffin of his intent to sue.
Cooperative marketing of tobacco
is at a crisis. There is just one more
season of the five-year period of the
Tri-State Association. The question
of organizing for another five-year
period will be determined next Mon
day at a meeting at Danville, Va.- Ac
tual mistakes, dating from the very
beginning of the organization, when
the association leased every ware
house it could get in order to close
them to the auction market, and
fightings within and without, have so
crippled the association and lost it
the support of so many former friends
that there is little* prospect that an
effective re-organization will result.
It would seem almost suicidal for the
tobacco farmers to discontinue co
operative selling, but circumstances
have been, and are, such that one can
hardly look for anything else. Cot
ton co-operative marketing is on a
much more satisfactory basis. The
co-operative marketing of cotton did
not present the difficulties of that of
tobacco. Consequently, errors were
not so costly. Ultimately the success
of co-operative selling of that staple
will lead, it may be hoped, to anccher
attempt at co-operative selling of to
bacco, but for the present, the out
look is that the auction ware houses
will again monopolize the business.
Great Eritain is^irTTho - throes c±
a labor war. The situation ever
there is exceedingly serious. Instead
of setting industry full aswing after
the war and giving everybody some
thing to do, a policy of giving re
wards of idleness was adopted, and
the workers have had to support a
horde of idlers. Os course, if there
had to be enforced idleness, it was
necessary to support the victims. But
a few millions of the money spent on
new battle ships and other arma
ment, and the millions spent in the
manufacture and sale of liquor, if ex
pended in broadening and equipping
industry, it seems, should have af
forded opportunity for everybody to
work. The workers themselves, too.
have seemed to think that the less
each did the more there would be for
the idlers to do. A short day and as
little achieved in the few hours of
pretended work as possible has been
the policy of the labor unions. The
natural consequence should have been
foreseen. It is only when much is
produced that much can be divided.
The coal mine owners could not, and :
naturally, pay a living wage to folk «
who were not producing sufficient coal i
at the prevailing price to justify a '
living wage and any profit, and the
price with a large part of the natior
idle could not recover itself. Con
frequently, the government gave
bonus for the mining of coal thiu
again heaping up the b:irdep of those
who were producing. she bonus
period expired the other day, and
how ths irjners have struck and hun
dreds of thousands of other lab^ rers
iti sympathy .with Business is .
at standstill in all England. The
worst of disturbances, even untc
civil war, are expected or feared, and
it may be predicted that suffering is
hear at hand. Only a few weeks with
industry tied up in a land that does
not produce its own hog and hominy
suffice to bring want to millions. The
situation is deplorable, but not only
England, its government, capitalists,
and workers, will learn a lesson, but
the whole world. When everybody
goes to work' at productive employ
ment, there will be plenty in the
world, and not till then.
«"
If the. farmers of America make
mors? than they can sell in this coun
try, they can expect to sell it only in
those countries that cannot readily
make enough' of farm products. But
if the United States deliberately
closes hen jfcarkets to the surplus of
goods the hungry nations do make, it
should be readily manifest that either
tho&e nations cannot buy as much or
cannot pay as high prices as they
could if' they had a world market for
products. The farm problem
now, as for generations, is a problem
of the tariff. So long as other in
dustries are protected and the farmer
unprotected, the latter must suffer.
But the solution is not in a protec
tive tariff for the farmer, but in an
' open world market for all products.
When everybody in the worid is at
i work, the supply of goods will be a
' bundant, and only the free privilege
in interchange will keep every one
j from having enough. Tariff and eur-
I rency, world wide currency, are the
{ 1 two vital factors in the solution of
, the world’s economic problems. Given
|: a market at a world price, industry
t 1 would take care of itself, and every
L : section would almost assuredly
. ! specialize in the products for which
t 1 its advantages, of production and of
. location with regard to demand for
the product, fitted it best. Universal
j industry, a universal currency, and a
5 market open to the producer who can
supply the goods with least outlay
o* capital ana labor, and if this writer
. has any sense at all of the law of
■ supply and demand, half the world
' would no longer be suffering for what
• the other half could so readily sup
| ply. During the world war, while de
; struction was rampant, a portion of
1 the folk fed and clothed all, besides
; building great military camps, and
| transporting millions of tons and per
sons that played no economic part,
' but the contrary, in the world’s wel
; fare. Yet today when all might be
1 at work, want stalks abroad in many
lands and even in places in our oyrn
land.

Centenarians Will Be
Common in Next Century
London. —Men and women one hun
dred years old will be active In busi
ness and social affairs by 2026, it is
predicted by Sir Kingsley Wood, par
liamentary secretary to the British
ministry of health.
“In the next century there is no
doubt in my mind that the average
expectation of life will be one hun
dred years, and a person of seventy
five will be regarded as comparatively'
young,” said Sir Kingsley, who has
recommended more physical exercise
for members of the house of com
mons. i
“Good health and good temper go
together,” he continued, “and if the
members of parliament took more ex
ercise fewer members would be sus
pended, and wild and excited scenes
in the house would disappear.”
Announce New Method
of Painless Childbirth
New York. —A method which it is
claimed will make childbirth painless
and is in no way followed by nausea
was described by Dr. .Tames T. Gwuth
ney of tills city. Doctor Gwatlimey
spoke at the convention of the Medical
society of New York state
Whereas twilight sleep depended on
amnesia to bring about insensibility,
the new method accomplished its
ends by the actual elimination of pain,
lie said
This method. Doctor Gwathmey con
tinued. consists of three Injections,
two of magnesium sulphate and one
of a mixture of the sulphate with
small quantities of morphine and
quinine. The combination of drugs ;
was new, said Doctor Gwathrne.v, and
the danger ek»nent less than in tvvi
liclit sleep.

Highest in Quality
The quality of a motor car is largely determined by the Si 2
materials out of which ii is built.
Faxe, for instance, steels which comprise the major jh
portion of GAe materials used in automotive roanufac
! 1 luring today. No automobile can have more durable cr
more satisfactory steels than you get in a Ford.
The uphoLtery used in Ford closed cars contains a much
I larger percentage of wool than is ordinarily specified*
Genuine polished plate glass is used for Ford windows i
and windshields.
roe story is the came for every item of material usee! in t j
Ford manufacture. It is logical that such extreme care in §
the selection of materials should result in a car that is
Without an equal when it comes to enduring service.
| Lowest in Price ij
Conditions that are unique in the automotive industry \ i
make Ford prices possible.
Every manufacturing operation is under direct control
I j ol tne Ford Motor Company. Iron is taken from Fcrd |! j
mines in Michigan; coal from the Company’s mines in Li i
Kentucky and West Virginia. Ford glass plants produce
t :e glass for windshields and windows; wood comes from
Fcrd timber tracts. Raw materials and finished products
are carried over Ford-owned transportation routes; coke
ovens, blastfurnaces, a steel mill, foundries and saw mills
—all are part of this complete organization.
Under any other cVcu/nstances, Ford cars would cost a
great deal more than they do.
