REITERATION
It was Josiah Turner, we
believe, who, when asked
what his editorial for a cer
tain issue of the Raleigh Reg
ister was, replied “the same
old one,” or words to that
effect. Turner had learned
the lesson that all teachers
and propagandists of any
kind must learn, that a les
son can be taught only by
reiteration. Tell a thing a
hundred times and there is
some possibility that the aver
age hearer will begin to be
come conscious of your thesis
and its implications.
Accordingly, we could al
most wish that we had only
one subject now and could
harp upon it till every reader
of the paper should become
thoroughly impregnated with
the ideas and should himself
become a trumpet sounding
them forth. But we have not
the concentration of a Turner.
The world is too full of inter
esting problems for this writer
to concentrate long upon one
subject, however important it
ma y be. Nevertheless, we
hope to be able to harp upon
a certain string very frequent
ly, with variations of course.
Einstein has won worlcU
wide fame by daring to con
trovert Newton’s laws of grav
ity. There were certain phe
nomena, millions and millions
of miles distant, that could not
be reconciled with the laws
of gravity and motion as ac
cepted. It makes little differ
ence, or none, from the prac
tical stand-point, whether those
phenonmena should be recon
ciled with any theory of grav
itation, and we are seriously
inclined to believe that Ein
stein has failed in his purpose,
or at least in vitiating the
laws as expressed by Newton
and Kepler. Yet the greatest
mathematicians have applaud
ed his attempt and many have
confessed to approve his con
clusions, whether they under
stand them or not, and many
of the best brains in the
world are intently studying

this matter of little, or no,
practical value.
On the other hand, the
world of economics presents
problems of the most immense’
importance, yet no great
thinker seeks to solve them.
We admire Einstein’s forti
tude. When he finds that
Newton’s laws of gravity do
not stand the test of univer
sality, he is not lacking the
courage to go back to the be
ginning and present an ex
planation that, in his mind,
supplants the Newtonian laws,
covering all the phenomena
that they cover and, besides,
accounting for the variations
irreconcilable with the New
tonian laws. But for thousands
of years the accepted economi
cal dicta and pratices may
clearly fail to prove them
selves valid, yet the thinkers
of the worlds haven’t the cour
age to question their validity
and, like Einstein, go back to
fundamental principles and
build up new dicta. That task
is left to visionaries, malcon
tents, and demagogues, and
even these, whose courage and
zeal are to be admired, how
ever much their judgment may
be at fault, are not allowed a
free expression of their opin
ions in this supposed land of
the free. ■ .
Who can blame the com
munists for seeking a remedy
for ills so- apparent, when
those who have given their
lives to the subject of political
economy blindly overlook the
fact of absolute failure of the
accepted dicta and practices
to remedy the ills of poverty
at a time when it is apparent
that poverty has no place in
the earth under a valid sys
tem of economics? Below we
reiterate two or three general
principles or conceptions that
are as far-reaching in their
implications as the most dar
ing conceptions of Einstein,
and are apparently as new to
economic thought, a thousand
times of more practical value
than Einstein’s concepts, and
a hundred times more appar
ent and demonstrable.

and can not be. On the con
trary, it has inherited all the

improvements of the ages,
and owes nothing for any of
them.
2.—There is no such thing
as accumulating a competency
for the future. The world
lives from hand to mouth, and
the only ways of assuring con
ditions for the future superior
to those of the present, or of
maintaining even an equality
of conditions, is in the actual
construction of homes, the
provision of permanent equip
ments for those homes, in in
creasing productional faciliti
ties, which include the con
struction of business houses,
the harnessing of streams, the
invention and construction of
more effective machinery and
implements, the improvement
of the soil, the laying of foun
dations for herds, and such
other acts as tend to increase
efficiency in production, trans
portation, and exchange in fu
ture years. Any other method
of storing up wealth for the
future is futile, and only
amounts to individuals in the
one generation discounting the
productive output of the mass
es in the next, or within years
more or less remote. For in
stance, a capitalist may loan
a farmer money on his next
year’s crop. Now, it is ap
parent in that case, ’ that if
the farmer takes that money
and buys food and raiment
with it and consumes them,
there is a diminution of
wealth. The capitalist ha s
simply laid claim to a possi
ble production in the future,
and there is no wealth in the
world to match* that mort
gage. And thus it is with all
bonds, stocks, and other se
curities, even with .currency,
which have not back of them
a quid pro quo in actual in
crease of facilities for future
production, which term here
includes the complements of
transportation and exchange.
Accordingly, the world is
hampered by a fictitious debt,
and one that, instead of being
secured in the only effective
way, that is, by an increase
in facilities for future produc
tion, is actually destroying
the validity of that security
through its hampering of the
free exercise of productive en-
terprise at the present and
in future years. Suppose the
throttles of the creditors to
increase to the extent that
they actually reduce produc
tion below the actual needs
of society. Is it not apparent
that there would then cease
to be any value to those se
curities? The rich man in
case of actual world-famine
conditions would not have an
equal chance for maintenance
with the one horse-farmer of
Chatham county, or a Chinese
with his acre of rice. Talking
about the hi-jacking of whis
key—imagine a world hunger
prevailing and try to think of
the food hi-jackers permitting
the bondholders receiving their
wanted abundance in peace
and comfort! But for a con
crete instance, note the fate
of the rich of Russia! Or of
the aristocrats of France in
1789 and years following!
We shall come back to
these prospositions and to
their implications. They are
fundamental, and, we believe,
as revolutionary in their im
plications as were the laws of
Newton upon cosmic concep
tinos and astronomical prac
tices.
EXTENSION OF TRANS
ATLANTIC TELEPHONE
The development of transatlantic
telephone communication is continu
ing at an amazing rate. At the
present time almost any telephone
in the United States can me inter
connected with instruments in most
of the principal cities of Europe
and South America. Recently ser
vice was extended to Vatican City
and to all telephones in Sweden,
including those within the Arctic
Circle.
Now it is planned to extend this
service to the Far East.
Fifteen years ago, when verbal
communication was first held be
tween New York and San Francisco,,
many thought that the ultimate in
telephone contact had been reached.
Yet it is safe to say that within
another few years it will be almost
common for us to talk to a friend
in England or France as to one in
the next county.

To Advertise North
Carolina Products
What do you know about manu
facturing and manufactured prod
ucts in North Carolina? The aver
age citizen knows of the state’s
leadership in the manufacture of
cotton and tobacco, knows of her
large towel, denim and underwear
mills, but what does he know about
the scores and scores of individual
items manufactured within the
state? How many stores stock and
adequately display North Carolina •
goods, and how many buyers call >
for such items when making pur
chases, ever when price and quality
and style are in favor of the home
product?
In order to make it possible for
•the average North Carolinian to
make satisfactory answer to these
and similar questions, the state de
partment of conservation and devel
opment is planning to launch a
campaign in the near future to ad
vertise North Carolina made prod
ucts by having them displayed,
properly marked and shown by re
tail stores of the state. Such a
campaign, it is believed, will not
only acquaint our own people with
what is made within the state, but
will also point the way for further
diversification of manufacturing,
stimulate the sale* of goods and
thereby stimulate industry and agri
culture also. This program fits in
with the governor’s Live-at-Home
program and secured his approval in
a statement made public a few days
ago.
A list of the principal consumers’
goods made in the state is now be
ing compiled by the department.
This list will be placed in the hands
of wholesale and retail merchants,
who are willing to stock at least
some goods made in the state. It
is hoped that this campaign can be
inaugurated simultaneously, perhaps
early in September, by leading
stores in all parts of the state, and
that it will spread until every de
partment, dry goods, and general
store will be stocking and properly
advertising and displaying North
Unintentional Suicide
Many people are slowly poisoning
themselves just as surely as if they

toxin 3, or poisons, created by accumu

digestive systems. Sooner or later

i If you have dizzy spells, headaches,
coated bad breath, insomnia,

the back and limbs, you are probably

constipation. The surest and pleasantest

A LESSON FOR AMERICA
■- »
It i§ npt a coincidence that the
nation which has the most laws, the
United States, likewise has the most
disgraceful crime record. It is a
historical fact that we can not cure
a social problem merely by prohibi
tory legislation.
S Revolvers and pistols have long
been the favorite targets for Amer
ican reformers. They argue that
prohibiting them will curb crimes
of all kinds. But they fail to rec
ognize that anti-gun laws would dis
arm the good citizen but would not
affect the well financed, organized
underworld. , .
No country in Europe is freer .
from crime than Switzerland, and
it is the only country without laws
governing firearms and in which the
authorities actually encourage their
possession and use. There is a les
son in this for America.

My greatest joy is taking an un-.

fake cereals for ex
ample. All boys eat some kind of a
cereal for breakfast. This is just
what they need, as long as that
cereal has the needed bulk to sup
ply the body with a “vegetable ef
fect.” I know that one of the most
popular cereals with my boys is
whole rice. I can easily under
stand this, for it is extremely pal
atable, and the smooth bulk it fur
nishes never injures the stomach
as do some of the other cereals
with a rougher fibre content.
I have found that youngsters,
are even more serious and will
ing to follow suggestions than
many more mature and seasoned
athletes. They like to be put on
their own. It gives them a feeling
of responsibility, and makes them
conscious that you have faith in
their judgment.
I sat down the other night and
made out a list of boys who have
gained sufficient distinction under
me to go into colleges and univer
sities on full scholarships. I could
remember nearly 450, including
among others, “Biff” Jones, Ber
nie Wefers, Charlie Sykes, Arthur
Duffy, Paul Cox, John Holden,
Paul Magoffin, Maxey Long and
Calvin Milans, the latter being the
first 15-year-old boy to high jump
6 feet 1 inch in competition.
That’s quite a list, and just
goes to prove that Nature is the
best trainer of all—if you only
will get her to work with you.
