The Legion’s Stand
The Wilkes County Post of the Ameri
can Legion advocates a radical change in
dealing with convicted persons in its pe
tition to the governor. The governor is ask
ed not to pardon any person convicted in
.the courts of Wilkes county during his
tenure of office unless new evidence point
ing to the innocence of that person is dis
covered.
Judges, as a rule, are sufficiently len
ient in dealing with men and women who
come before them. They hear the facts
patiently, as they should, and pass sen
tence. It is not rendering society a service
to petition for the freedom of convicted
persons and the Legion wisely opposes the
practice.
The Legion advocates a policy that will
have an important bearing upon the crime
record of Wilkes. When those who are in
clined to violate the law realize that they
will be vigorously prosecuted and that
they must serve their sentence, they will
hesitate before involving themselves in
the courts.
There will always be crimes of passion.
There is no way of deterring mankind in
that respect. But deliberate violation of
the law can be curbed by vigorous meas
ures such as are now being advocated.
The Legion is entitled to a vote of
thanks for its stand.
Views of Dr. Crane
Those who believe in public education
should find the following by the late Dr.
Frank Crane particularly helpful;
“O God, Thou ha.st put into our hands
the future of the race. We are made co
workers with Thy spirit in creating the
world that is to be. Thou hast put every
generation in the lap of the old, that there
may be continuity of growth. Awaken us
to our responsibilities. Stir us up to make
our own imcomparable privilege. Make
keen within us the conviction that we
have no work more vital to do than to
teach. Reveal to us the school as the heart
of the world’s work. Vast problems press
"upon us. Yet the way is so simple! It lies
through the child. The road to the golden
age runs through the .school house. There
is no reform, however far-reaching- no es
tablishment of justice, however revolu
tionary, that might be better accomplish
ed by patience through the instruction of
little children, than through the schemes
of politics or the violence of war. Arms
and disorder, destruction and overturning,
are man’s way. The school is Thy way.
Lay upon the conscience of every teacher
the divinity of his employ. Give him the
enthusiasm of his opportunity. Show him
the beauty, the majesty, of his calling,
the marvel of his art, the proper pride of
hifi craftmanship! Make every parent rea-
^;iize that th^ best gift in his power for the
^ child is the school Lay deep in every
’Child’s heart an unshakable ambition to
^eam,,to know, to coirte to master}'. And
^unfold to us increasingly what education
'''means! Shake/from us the ghost grip of
the past, the narrowing hold tradition,
-while we still preserve what is good.
Deepen, broaden, enlarge our conception
of the school. Make-us glad to spend
'’more for it, as the best investments foy
'‘security bf the world. And show us that

Long Record Of Seime
It is doubtful whether any man in the
country today has served as court crier as
long as did T«M. Crysel, whose death Sunday
removed a spi«idid citizen. It is interesting
to note that only three times in 45 years
was he missing when court was being held.
That is certainly a record for pubctual at*
tention to duty. ' it- v
We are informed that Wilkes county lup
had but two Cotui: criers in the past 80 years
or more. Before Mr. Crysel was Alec Whit
tington, who served thirty-jfive or forty
years.
' His close.attention to his duties was one of
the many fine attributes of the man. He
gave that to all the public offices he held and
served with a faithfulness that is worthy of
emulation.

We get a lot of kick in what time we
find to read, that which others write from
^he unadulterated pertness and sprightly
sauciness of the comment offered by The
New Yorker. Often the editors of the
periodical take a real dig at errors and
blunders they observe. Quite often, too,
they dig up interesting, and amusing fac.;s
and figures which all other periodicals
overlook. But oftener than anything else
they look upon the queer antics and quips
of life as it ebbs along, portray that which
they see, wink and leave the rest to the

“Up, 0 Deborah,” was the call of

magnificently, as the rest of the

splendid victory.
It is very likely that Deborah
herself wrote this marvelous

as a woman of powerful emotion

BRUCE BARTON WRITES
SERVICE AND SUCCESS
Finally, the eonstitution of the
universe Is on the side of the
right. The laws of nature and of
nature’s God favor the righteous
and oppose the wicked. This
truth is expressed in that famous
phrase, "The stars in their cours
es fought against Sisera.” These
same stars fight for you and for
me in all of our striving for
goodness and truth. "If God be
for us, who can be against os?”
Here is the advertisements of an automobile
company, one of greatest in the world. And why
is it greatest? On what does it base its claim to!^^
leadership? Oh its huge factories and financial j
strength? They are never mentioned. On its army
of workmen or its high salaried executive.s? You!
might read its advertisements for years without
suspecting that i,l had either. No. “We are great
because of our service,” the advertisements cry.
•‘We will crawl under your car oftener and get
oiir backs dirtier than any of our competitors.
Drive up to our service stations and ask for any
thing at all—}t will be granted cheerfully. We
serve; therefore we grow.”
A manufacturer of shoes makes the same boast
in other terms. "We put ourselves at your feet
and give you everything that you can possibly
demand.” Manufacturers of building equipment,
of clothes, of food—all of them tell the same
story. “Service is what we are here for," they
exclaim. They call it the “spirit of modern busi
ness”; they suppose, most of them, that it is
something very new. Rut Jesus preached it more
than nineteen hundred years ago.
One aiternoon in a Pullman car the late George
W. Perkins was talking about the reasons why
men succeed and fail.
“I am amazed by some of the young men who
ask me to use niy influence to get them better
positions or increases in salary,” he said. “Such
an attitude on their part shows an absolute fail
ure to understand the fundamentals of success.
In all the years that I was in business I never
once asked what my salary was to be, or my title.
None of us who made that Company ever wasted
lime over such questions. We had a vision of ex
tending the Company's service throughout the
world.”
That sounds sensible—good business sense. But
how does this sound?
•'If you’re forever thinking about saving your
life,” Jesus said" “you'll lose it; but the man
who loses his life shall find it.”
Because he said it and he was a religious teach
er, because it’s printed in the Bible, the world
has dismissed it as high minded ethics but not
hard headed sense. But look again! tVhat did
Perkins mean if it wasn't that be and his friends
buried ilienisoii cs in tlie^r great undertaking,
itorally !o.st theii live.s In ,it? And when they
ioBiid th-ir lives again, they tvere all of them

I they would be. Would such success have come -to
tbeai if they bad been careful aboht tbemselves?
