THOUGHT FOB THE DAY Remember now thy Creator in the dayi of thy youth, Ec- cleslastes 12.1. Now that It Is all over, doesn't that Bergdoll "pot of sold" stuff seem about the limit in the way o( silliness?. Yet it seems to have fooled some men who are not ac customed to doing silly things. Perhaps the Newberry case will lead, at any rate, to more care In the expenditure of money in uture primaries in Michigan. It has called attention to some practices that should be curbed, to say the least THE NEW ADMINISTRATION AND THE PEOPLE A new administration is in charge of the municipal affairs of Winston-Salem. MayoVIamea G. Hanes, the head of this new administra tion, in assuming last night the duties of the office to which he was recently elected, made it plain that he would strive earnestly to forward the progressive policies that have already been inaugurated here and to stand constantly for those things making fer the further progress and development of Winston Salem. ' ' ' ' "" '. v He asked for himself and associates the support and co operation, not only of the city officers but of the citizen ship generally of Winston-Salem. They have a right to expect that. . We believe they will have such support and co-operation. If the new administration is to be the success it should be, two things will be necessary. There must be in every department of city government efficiency and courtesy and a constant desire to serve the people of the community, "regardless of sectional or other con siderations. . ' ' We are confident ,that spirit will be in evidence at all times. Then there must be on the part of citizens of the con; munity, of every locality and condition, a desire and a willing ness to aid in every way possible in upholding the hands of those who are administering municipal affairs, a disposition to lay aside little prejudices and jealousies, if such there may be, in the effort to advance the common good. We feel equally confident that such a spirit on the part of the citizenship of Winston-Salem will be in evidence. Senator Newberry, of Michigan, is back in his seat as a result of the recent Supreme Court decision in his case. However, there are a vast jrtfmber of American citizens who feel tlWft he should not be there. If things arise that seem to call for criticism (and if such things do not arise in the new administration it will be dif ferent from any other city administration of which we have ever heard) it should take the form of constructive, and not destructive, criticism. And any seeming basis for criticism should be taken up directly with those in authority. It can do no possible good for a citizen to go around nurs ing a grievance, telling everybody but those who are in a posi tion to remedy the matter. The right thing to do is to go to headquarters with the complaint. If .that is done, we feel sure that the cause of the com plaint will be removed if there is any way to do it. - There are abundant indications that Mr. Penrose's long and serious Illness did not in any way Impair his ability to steer things in the Senate, as far as the course of the Republi can members of that body is concerned. : Hon. Josephus Daniels' pen pic ture of General JolTre, the great French leader, hero of the Marne, in his article in yesterday's Sentinel, is one of the best things of the entire series to date. If you happened to miss it, look up the paper and read it yet. - The Richmond Times-Dispatch says that "more tractors and fewer detractors would help wonderfully In getting this country back to nor malcy." For one thing, more real effort to do business and less talk about "bad business conditions' might help considerably. It seems that Senator Borah Is getting ready to attack the "admin istration policies." Trying to keep him and Senator "HI" Johnson pact fled 1s a task which President Hard ing might as well give up as utterly hopeless. They are simply antls" and they are quite likely to con tlnue to be. Of course, we realize that, talk about co-operating with, and supporting, the city government, is regarded as more or less conventional and stereotyped. .,-.., However, we cannot refrain, even at the risk of being monotonous, from expressing our conviction . of its vital iro portance. v ;;;-. Let's not expect the administration to do everything we would have done all at once, but let's uphold the hands of those entrusted with the management of city affairs .to . such an extent that they will be enabled to do the things they should do promptly and effectively, without the hindrance, that thoughtless criticism would involve. Is that not entirely reasonable? We think so. - ' - .NUMBER OF FATALITIES STILL GROWING Along with other discouraging "Bigns of the times' these days is the fact that automobile fatalities are becoming more numerous all the while in this country. If things continue at the present rate, the year 1021 llsh a new high record. And. this, too, in spite of "Safety First" warnLSWand the str ing in quite a few states of laws relating to the jure of motor vehicl :stab- TOWN TOPICS 3D Things Seen and Heard by Bentintl Man Varisty of Local JUttsrs Discussed. J Secretary Mellon's tax recom mendations to Congress Include re peal of the excess profits tax, but he says that he is not ready to recom mend any general sales ax. " His views on the subject are much like those expressed at the recent Cham ber of Commerce luncheon here by Hon, Daniel C. Roper, former Com missioner of Internal Revenue. re lost in automobile aegfdents 100,000. This is hlghjtor this A contemporary says Germany is probably waiUng for the "ultimate ultimatum." One trouble already has been the issuing of too many "ultimatums" by the allies that did not prove to be such, after all. It is a little difficult now to convince the leaders of that nation that the countries with which they are deal ing mean exactly what they say. The Philadelphia Record calls attention fb t first four months of this year, automobile fatalit numbered 361, against 158 in the corresponding crease of 114 per cent. Commenting on such figures, the Stati tan Life Insurance Company says: t.. "Eighty-four lives of policyholders w during the month, with a rate of 7.4 per time of year. "On the basis of the mortality during- theulrst quartejVa new niaxl mum rate for this cause of death may be expecteS1 !W!"921. During the Iwinter of the present year the rate has been much higher than for the corresponding period of last year. v; . j :v . "Unless there shall be a pronounced change for the better an In creased toll of human life, more especially child life, will be charged to automobile fatalities." - When it is considered that the summer months yet to come are the most prolific in the matter of automobile disasters, the prospect of a new record in the number of such disasters for 1921. becomes more marked. When the protest against the con flrmatlon of Mr. Blair's nomination was launched, The Sentinel predicted that it would amount to nothing ex cept to give Senator Johnson, of California, an opportunity to do con sldtfrable talking. It begins to look as if that will prove to be the case. .

He was also bitterly opposed to the Colombian treaty when .Wilson wantoi It ratified. There is nothing partisan about Sena tor Lbdge."-5 And the serious thing bout the whole proposition Is that he seems to be such a power with the Administration. ' Our only hope, in that connection, ia that he will not have an opportunity to pass on anything vitally affecting the inter ests of the South. ' He has never dis tinguished himself for his friend liness to Uiis section. u i i Hu. syrthenw if Sl I It a m a - he fact that, dluig the! k-s In New Ylt statr riod jrnillltt an in - m r i w i ical Bulletiflthl MetropJ- S --- J. .- ........ M . ... I tell t V s OPTIMISTIC NOTE. I "Evidence of the fact that the business situation in different lines is getting better is constantly being fur nished," said a local business man today. 'Here are some encouraging state ments from the bulletin issued by a big firm of New York bankers that strike me as, being very significant" tm nrm reierrea to is n. uacn man & Co., of 61 Broadway, and the part of the letter spoken of is as follows: "The cotton market, after many weeks of dullness, shows a tendency to advance out of the deadlock. Fu tures advanced on the average about 50 points during the past ween, while spot cotton at Houston has advanced 80 points. Our advices indicate a much better Inquiry for spots and the basis is reported much stronger. Sterling exchange reached 8.97, th highest price since last June. The New York Federal Re serve Bak reduced the discount rate on comahercial paper to 6H per cent, a eut of one-half of one per cent. .This Is the first cnange since last June when it was advanced to 1 per cent. ' The governor of the board, Mr. W. P. O. Harding, is quoted as making the significant statement that there is no need to force liquida tion further, that there is now no danger of any general financial trou ble in this country and tnat tne time has come for renewed courage and confidence. The stock market con tinues to reffect steady Improvement ExDorts are at last beginning to run ahead of last year. The Journal of Commerce estimates the reduction in acreage at 28.2 per cent and the reduction in the use of commercial fertilizers at 65.8. It appears that the crop is getting a poor and late start on perhaps the smallest acre age since 1899, when the crop was only 9.393.000 bales. We think the market has eone tnrougn tne worst and that from now on the bull side will prove profitable." ' IS ENTHUSIASTIC. Mr. R. "W. Pou. County Farm Agent, is enthusiastic over the pros pects for the coming Forsyth County Fair. He is urging farmers to-be-Kin planning now for exhibits to the end that this feature of the fair may be better than ever before. "Plan and plant now" is the proper slWan. according to Mr. Pou. He nolnts out that the only thing needed to make the agricultural section of the next Fair the very best ever Is the proper degree of enthusiasm and Interest on the part of the farmers of Forsyth county, v LARGE ATTENDANCE. "Keep up your work in behalf of Sunday school attendance," said an Interested member of the Burkhead Methodist school yesterday. "The Baraca class at Burkhead had 137 present Sunday, and other classes made fine records in the mat ter of attendance. Over 600 -were present in the entire Sunday school." Other Sunday schools in the city also made a good showing Buntlay, from all reports. The Sentinel 'will be glad to print the attendance rec ords from week to week if they can be secured Such publication would doubtless aid in stimulating increased interest. BACK FROM THE EAST. Mr. A. J. Hauser, of this city, traveling representative of the' North Carolina Corporation commission was in the city Sunday and yesterday, leaving again this morning. His work carries him Into many, coun ties in various parts of the state Mr. Hauser has just returned from a trip to Eastern Carolina on busi ness for the commission. He reports that the feeling among business men in that section is good, decidedly bet ter than on his last trip there, a month ago. Strawberry growers are selling their product at good prices, and in other lines conditions are satisfactory. Mr. Hauser, In discussing tne situa Ion as to cotton and tobacco, says that the farmers in Eastern Caro lina are reducing their acreage to a considerable extent Price condi tions with reference to the last crop were not satisfactory and many of them have made up their minds to go slow' on 'cotton and tobacco and pay more attention to otner things. j SEASON CLOSED. I The notably fine humorous lecture last night by Mr. Ralph Bingham, the widely known platform enter tainer, closed the 1921 Redpath Chautauqua for WlnBton-Salem. The attendance at tne unamauqua has been good, thruout, this being regarded one of the best points on the entire circuit The program has been a well-balanced one wltn sev eral exceptionally good features, tho there was none that stood, out aboye all the rest The people of Winston-Salem, are indebted to Messrs. C. H. Sebring, James Norfleet, Jr., and Ed. Shep4 herd, thru whose efforts1 the Chau tauqua was brought here again this year. It has come bow to be re garded asr an established community institution and one tnat is looKea forward to eagerly from season to season. A FINE RECORD. "I was glad to see In yesterday's Sentinel the editorial appreciation of the work of Mayor R. W. Gorrell during the past four years that he has served the city as its cmet exec utive," remarked Mr. R. E. Lasater yesterday. . 'He had a dimcuit task in nandiing the affairs of this rapidly growing city but he did it In such a manner as to win the applause of all who came In contact with him and saw what he was doing: Courteous at all times, believing In a square deal for everybody and having a broad vision of the city's future and high Ideals regarding its development along various lines, he gave Wln- ston-Salem an administration of which our citizens may well be Droud. "Too often patriotic service or tne kind he rendered is taken merely as a mattei of course, and I am par ticularly glad for that reason to note The Sentinel's handsome tribute to the retiring mayor. .

Ths Ameri can Legion Is determined to make a fight in the 81xty-Sventh Congress to abtaln vocational education for widows and orphans 'of men -killed in France, according - to John Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the Legion's national leglslativs committee. t - - Vocational education for widows and orphans of all ex-service men who died overseas, during the war was provided In the Kenyon Bill bassed by the United Btates at the last session of Congress. The same bill, lntroducted by Representative Fess of Ohio in the House .did not pass, but was favorably reported by the House committee, With, how ever, the provision for vocational education for widows and orphans stricken dut. ' Senator Kenyon has reintroduced his bill, with the wid ow and orphan education feature in cluded; the -American Legion' is backing the Kenyon Bill. There aro approximately. 14,000 widows and 18,000 orphans of America's war dead. If the gov ernment were to provide vocational education for all of them, the cost wnnlA be f 122.000.000, an estimate based upon the present cost of vo- .... i j . ortvAn hv thA C&LlUIiai cuutuiuai, w Federal Board for Vocational Edu cation, which Is $126 a month per month for maintenance ana no per month for books, equipment, tuition and Incidentals. . - What is the cause of the Increase in the number of automobile fatali ties? , '.' Various reasons may be assigned but the whole thing gets back to ono fundamental proposition: " " -"" " -i--.-.-.-.-.,-.-'- People as a rule are growing more careless In the handling of cars Instead of using greater precautions. This is shown in the various manifestations of the "speed mania" and in a disregard on the part of many automobilists of laws relating to the use of motor vehicles. In many csaes this kind of spirit has devejpped almost unconsciously. In the rush and bustle of modern conditions, automobilists in no few cases have seemed to lose sight of their obligations to the public And there is attached to ths running of an automobile a form of ex citement that frequently leads otherwise careful people ,to take altogether foolish chances. ' What is the remedy? ' , ' First, a widespread "Safety First" campaign of education would seem to be needed, emphasizing In every way possible the need of greater care, especially at grade crossings. A strict enforcement of existing automobile laws and their strengthen Ing at certain points would probably help materially. . Certainly the situation is one that calls for careful thought to the end that soma needed remedies may be devised and carried out ?ubltc .still has a tremendous poten lal power but has become more frugal and economical. Federal re serve banks without exception are In a stronger position today than they have been for more than a year Discount fates have been reduced by the New York, Atlanta and Chicago banks during the week. Other re ductions, It is believed, will follow son. Westward the star of prosperity seems to wend its way. New Eng land reports her affairs in better shape now than for months, past with the outlook bright for further improvement. Retail stores In Bos ton have reported to the reserve bank that their sales In March sur passed those In March, 1920, and were far ahead of those in March, 1919, notwithstanding that more goods have to go over the counter to get a dollar in the till, New York reports cause for optimism In its Inventory of the idle, Just completed. Many losses and pessimistic mouths have been shut by the stock-taking which has simmered down the pay roll reduction among firms employ ing nearly half a million workers to seventeen per cent from last year's figures. Almost astourfding is the find that the wage reduction per person employed now is only one cent a week less than it was a year ago, the figures being $30.27 and $30.28, respectively. The steel business is looking up a bit In Pittsburgh, with indications of doing still better in tne near future. Department stores, always an Index of business conditions, did more busi ness there in March than they did in March a year ago. Cleveland reports continuation of the automobile In dustry's prosperity, a report checked as correct by Detroit, the latter city adding that business conditions in other Industrial plants there and elsewhere In the state are improving. Kansas,- with its usual prompt way of doing things, has gone to work to determine who has reduced prices and who hasn't. Her industrial court is going to tell the world, it is announced, whether producer, wholesaler or retailer is lagging in deflation endeavor. St. Louis reports' prospects of a continuation of the good retail buying experienced .dur ing the past two weeks. Help for King Cotton thru the war finance corporation is believed by southern business men to be near. The mere belief has helped stimu late business in a section that is coming back fast anyhow, -, - Pacific coast cities are wearying of the business of waiting for busi ness to get better. That section of the United States, always last to feel the effects either of boom or depression, Is about three months behind New England in its progress toward pros perity, a dispatch from Seattle says, but feels sure that real prosperity of a substantial, rather than spec tacular, character, is on its way to the coast.1 Meantime, hundreds of -plctureesque soldiers of fortune pitch camp in Seattle.
