Growing: Wealthy and Mean
That la what somo men are
doing, The number is increas
tag, Some ot onr friends are
getting uneasy about them. It
may be imaginary, bnt it seems
to ns that they are stiffening
somewhat in their self-esteem,
carrying their noodle-boxes a lit
tle higher, and coming to feel
that they are entitled to a little
- more consiederation than has
been accorded them hitherto.
Apparently there is an automo
bile air abont their bearing that
puts it in contrast to the bearing
that went along with the horse
and buggy. One may grow rich
and not grow mean and arrogant,
but such an achievement is not
easy of attainment. Leok at Sol
omon. He started out beauti
fully bnt wound up with a char
acter so soiled as to fill ns with
apprehensions as to his present
place of abode.
Money brings power, and the
possession of power is a danger
ous thing- "Do not the rich op
press you?” said one of the sa
cred writers, who thought the
exception so slight that it might
be passed over. He reminds of
the man who said: “All lawyers
shall have their place in the
lake that burneth with fire and
brimstone,’’ and who, on noticing
his mistake, said it was too slight
to need correction. He who
wields power of any kind with
out abusing it is to be ranked
very high.
The possession of money per
mits indulgence, and indulgence
breeds pride and selfishness. "A
certain rich man clothed himself
in purple and fine linen and fared
sumtuously every day.” As a
matter of course he died. This
did not necessarily mean that he
should "lift up his eyes being in
torment,’’ bnt this was a perfect
ly natural sequence. Persons
may clothe themselves "in pur
and fine linen and fire sumptu
ously every every day” and go to
the good place: but “how hard
ly” shall they do it. Far easier
is for them to go the other place,
and they are in the habit of fol
lowing tiie line of least resist
^•tewdlng *e Te~ne». -
The Wadesboro Ansonian
whose editor is superintendent
of the Anson county schools,
thinks the teachers are going to
experience the usual difficulty in
securing places in the communi
ties where they are expected to
teach this fall. No doubt they
will. So many people have big
cars now, or smaller ones, and
when Sunday comes they want
to feel free to load up the family
and take a trip without the in
convenience of making arrange
ments for boarders who are in
the home. There was a time
when several families in every
community were anxious to take
the teachers and board them for
less than half the price charged
today. But that day has passed
and the final solution of the
problem, thinks our Wadesboro
contemporary, is a teacherage
or home for teachers in every
school district. In many school
districts such homes have al
ready been established. The
principal or superintendent of
the school lives in the home and
boards the teachers. This prin
cipal or superintendent is em
(, ployed for the year and is a
permanent resident of the com
munity. This is probably the
best solution of the- problem,
and the time is not far distant
when the teacher’s horns'will
receive the same consideration
as the school building itself.
But until that day arrives
some good family in every com
“ munity must make a sacrifice
for the sake of the schools and
provide a boarding place for the
teaohers, not too far away from
the school. This is written that
the good man and women of
every school district in Lee
county, Sanford included, may j
be considering the question of ,
boarding the teaohers during
the ooming session of the schools, i

Make Them 'Have Lkeoae.
. Autoiats who, speed around
•harp curve* In road* with never i
a sound of warning from their
horns have been responsible for !
many accidents, fatal and near {
fatal. A citizen of Sanford calls
oar attention to the fact that ;
thsrn Is a State law requiring i
auto is ts to Wow their horns 1
when dangerous curve* are ap
proached, but the cheerful Idiots
who neglsot that precaution 1
have no regard for any law that •
they have a reasonable hone of i
getting away with breaking. It|<
is m frightful thing to be sadden
y confronted by «n suto that
las dashed without warning
rom behind a curve with snob
ipeed that it cannot be stopped
n time to avoid a collision.
What Is needed, The Express is
ionvinced, is a State law requir
ng every person who drives an
tnto to have a license. It is
jrtmtnal folly- to torn loose on
the public any fool who knows
no more than how to start a
machine and poor gas to it.
President’* Tribute to American
- Fighters.
In his address to the Senate on
the subject of the peace treaty
and the League of Nations, Presi
dent Wilson spoke eloquent
words of tribute to the American
soldier’s struggles, sacrifices and
achievements in Europe. In part
this topic of his address was as
follows:
That first, never-to-be-forgot
ten action at Chateau Thierry
had already taken place. Our
re-doubtable soldiers and ma
rines had already closed the gap
the enemy had succeded in open
ing for their advance upon Paris
—had already turned the tide of
battle back toward the frontiers
of France and begun the rout
that was to save Europe and the
world. Thereafter the Germans
were to be always forced back,
back; were never to thrust suc
cessfully forward again.
This is not the occasion upon
which to utter a eulogy of the
armies America sent to France,
but perhaps since I am speaking
of their mission, I may speak al
so of th§ pride I shared with
every American who saw or dealt
with them there. They were the
sort of men America would wish
to be represented by, the sort of
men every American would wish
to claim as fellow countrymen
and comrades in a great cause
They were terrible in battle,
and gentle and helpful out of it,
remembering the mothers and
sisters, the wives and the little
children at home. They .were
free men under arms, not forget
ting their ideals of duty in the
midst of tasks of violence. I am
proud to have had the privelege
of being asseciated with them
and of calling myself their leader.
Wbat they did made America
and all that she stood for a living
reality in the thought not only
of the people of France but also
of tens of millions of men and
women throughout all the toiling
nations of a world standing
everywhere in peril of its free
dom and of the loss of every
thing it held dear„in deadly feat
that its bonds were never to be
loosed, its hopes forever to be
mnf»kiwi mrui disappointed.
—taszztmss:—
The National Association Op
posed to Woman Suffrage an
nounces that it has set out to ob
tain the defeat of the woman
suffrage amendment by at least
13 States. An open challenge is
issued to William Jennings Bry
an to prove statements he was
quoted as making in an address
at Montgomery, that ratifica
tion of the suffrage amendment
would be "a sure guarantee ol
continued and lasting pence,’’
and that “the forces of evil are
lined np against the ballot for
women.”
In answer to the lust state
ment the association declare!
that Germany has been given
“great consolation” by the wo
man’s international conference
at Zurich, attended by a nnmh<»
of American suffrage advocates
Replying to the second assertion,
the association says that there
is no connection between suf
frage and prohibition, as shown
in Texas, which defeated woman
suffrage and approved prohibi
tion on the same day; in West
Virginia, which gave prohibition
a 90,000 majority and defeated
suffrage by 96,000; in Ohio, which
defeated suffrage three times at
the polls and adopted prohibition
by popular vote, and in, Califor
nia, which, after adopting woman
suffrage, has defeated prohibi
tion three times.
Honor Button* Bendy lor All In
World War.
A Washington dispatch of re
cent date says that the victory
button commemorating service
in the world war is now being
distributed by the War Depart
ment to every man enlisted in
the American force since April 6,
1917. Two hundred thnmnfft
silver buttons have been manu
factured for distribution to men
wounded in the war. Approxi
mately 500,000 bronze buttons for
men who served abroad but who
were not wounded, have already

Aliened Cruelties to AmtrUu
Soldiers <H) Prison Farm*
Officera Punished,
Complete amnesty lor all sol
dier*, sailors end marines con
victed by court martial, except
those whose offenses would be a
felony under Federal statutes, is
proposed In a bill introduced by
Senator Chamberlain, Democrat,
Oregon, and referred to the
military committee.
"The stories coming to me,”
said Senator Chamberlain in a
statement to the Senate, '‘many
of them being verified, of the
outrages being committed against
young men through the instru
mentality of courts martial are
so horrible that some legislation
ought to be acted upon promptly
to obtain relief^ The fact that
already the clemency board has
reduced the sentences in the ag
gregate from 28,000 years to 6.
700 years is proof positive that
the sentences were out of all pro
portion to the crimes committed.
These 6,000 years ought to be
wiped out or placed at an irre
ducible minimum,
“I want the people to under
stand the terror inflicted upon
our young men by these sen
tences and also the cruelties
practised against them. The
Spanish inquisition was not a
a mark to some of the cruelties
practiced against these soldiers
in France.”
Prison Gamps Bad.
Admission that American sol
diers, held in prisons and camps
in and near Paris, suffered brnt
alities for which several minor
officers were convicted in conrt
martial proceedings was obtain
ed from Gen. March, chief of
staff, by a special House war in
vestigating committee,
i The prisoners, as far as the
records showed, were held be
cause of absence without leave
late last year from their military
units and a cablegram from Gen
eral Perishing, sent three days
ago from Paris, declared “some
of these men were among the
hardest characters in the Ameri
can expeditionary force.
General Perishing’s cablegram
sent in response to an inquiry
of the War Department, after its
attention had been called to alleg
ed mistreatment of the prisoners
disclosed the conviction against
four officers at prison farm No.
2 and its adjoining stockades.
Two of the officers, it was said,
were imprisoned after being
found guilty by court martial.
Conviction of four other officers
was disclosed by reports of Brig
Gen. Edward A. Kreger, acting
judge advocate general.
Lieut. Frank H. Smith, the
well known “hardboiled” officer
in charge of farm No- 2. it was
disclosed is serving an 18 months’
i at Governor's
of
-and was sent to Europe
Later he had tried to get a com
mission in the Philippine scouts
8mith’s original sentence ol
three years was reduced by re
viewing authorities. In additioi
to Smith a number of otbei
officers, sergeants and lieute
nante, have been dishonorably
discharged and are serving pris
on terms for cruelty to the men
The colonel of the 158th In
try, who was held responsi
hie by army inspectors for eon
ditions at the prison farm, how
ever, it was revealed, escapee
court martial, but was sent h
the 'canning factory” at Blois
Col. T. Q. Donaldson, an ins pec
tor general, included the colone
of the 158th among those re
sponsible for conditions. Gen
March, unable to give the col
onel’a name or record, said h<
would submit these later to th<
committe.
The prisoners complain that
at one camp as evidenced by the
profanity, vulgar and obscene
epithets used against the pris
oners, there appeared to be a
spirit of intense hatred and hos
tility against the national guard.
Statements made by the com
plaining soldiers, it is alleged,
indicate a condition exists rival
ing that of Siberian prison
camps, and much worse than
conditions which existed in Ger
man prisoner of war cages.
Questions from members of
the committee drew from the
chief of staff the retort that Gen
eral Pershing ,“ia responsible
for what happens in France”,
and that General Harboard was
in direct supervision of prisons,
but the records showed that pris
on farm was not at the time of
the mal-treatment of men under
the jurisdiction of the latter offi
cer or the commanding gene ral,
district of Paris, but under “im
mediate command” of “Hard
boild” Smith, who had two com
panies of the 158th acting as
guards. The responsibility of
either Pershing or Harboard as
explained later by General
March, was that in a general
sense and that many details had
to be intrusted to subordinates.
