It Is the fashion to assail nid hopmlrch the holder of public office. li'litlling officials, th people naturally be little the law and the Government. Taking the I cjnlcal view that law-making Is rotten, they think they have a right to refrain from doing their share In making Government good. They rob the Government and think It no offense. They rob It of their votes. Crippling It that way, how quick they are to rob It of money when they can get away with It! They will continue to plunder It until they perceive that )) llt.es Is not a dirty but a sacred thing in Democrats. Beware Of Apathy Yesterday The Citizen sought to emphasize ; th admonition In a religious periodical calling upon Christian men and women not to make . the error of thinking that church righteousness can ba divorced from civic righteousness. Every on wh has any religious convlaUons must Ann . himself or herself bound by those beliefs to t(k active part in the selection of those who ire to be public servants. That la the duty of all citizens, of all parties to do whatever they can to make righteoua nesa and efficiency In government prevail. To (lay Th Citizen would urge upon Democrats th obligation of shaking oft the apathy thnt - would cause them to neglect privileges and duties In next Tuesday' election. Unices there Is come reason not ao far brought forward, Democratic men and women believing in parly government and party responsibility cannot re fuse to support their nominees In Buncombe. " In the Tenth Congressional District and In the . .Judicial Districts of this western section of the (State. But a failure of Democrats to vote may b as disastrous to some candidates as delib erate scratching of the ticket. Tho leaders of both parties are complaining of Indifference among the voters, but the Re publican are undoubtedly centering their ef foits on a few offices and working night and day t elect their candidates. The Republicans are conducting a gum-shoe offensive against the Democratic stronghold, a still hunt In which ' they have no hope of general success, but. by which have some confidence that they will win one or two Important positions. They are es pecially determined to defeat Swain in tho race for Solicitor of the Nineteenth District; they know that their strongest allv is Democratic overconfldence and apathy It is vitally important to the Democratic rause In Western North t'nrnlina, that Weaver be returned to the Houne and lhat the Demo cratlc nominees in the Kighleenth. Nineteenth and Twentieth Judicial Districts should be elected. If Democrats neplo. t to cast iiie.i ballots for Weaver. Ihey virtually vote en couragement to a t'engress which The Boston Transcript, stanch Republican ncv.sp.i per as it Is. declares does not deserve another lease of power. If Democrats fall to so to, tho polls fcr Swain, they will refuse indorsement to n Democrat who made an rmiable record as a prosecuting officer; and iht hiu to that ex lent discredit the Lierrioeralor administration of public affairs. The Strange Mr. Ford Reading Norman Ilapgood's articles "Henry Kord'a Jew-Mania," published Hearst' International Magazine, the unpre judiced reader will ask himself this question: "How could Ford, the world's greatest manu facturer, a man who spent a fortune in an effort to restore peace and good will to a war ring world, a man devoted to the public wel fare, pave become the leader in the United Btatea of a Jew-baiting movement which in Europe has always1 been one of the distin guishing characteristics of despotic government or reactionary political organizations?" . In Russia and Germany today, as Hapgood points out, the Jews aro terrorized by the very cioments bent upon restoring the old absolutist governments. Tor years In Russia the Jews were the victims selected for persecution by agents of czardom in order to divert attention from outrage against non-Jews or denial of governmental reform promised. Mr. llapgood says that tho significance of Ford's "vagary" Is seen in the following facts: 1. That the reactionary trick of getting after the Jews, In order to stir up a dust, exist., not only In Germany and Russia, hut seems to he spreading to this country. 2. That the richest man in the world. I an Idealist, was made a victim and led into I this deplorable game of the International iUilntly call "a lov affair," w are confronted by a tragedy. Hut when from roat to coast there Is a fusillade of gunshots from women mowing down the men, th thing becomes a problem of modern llf. It Is a problem which Dr. Andre Trldon, th famous psychologist, has attempted lo eiplaln. Women, he says, In her newly won freedom and Importance has de veloped a higher type of Idealism than sha has ever had In the past. She ha begun to think of herself as In reality the equal of man. Therefore, when man wrongs her and attempts to throw her off, she punishes him much as lis would punish another man for subjecting him to unbearable outrage. lo othr words, woman Is as violent In forcing her new rode upon the world as men were, two hundred .cara ago. in developing and enforcing their standards of masculine boner nd decency by means of duelling and imllar violence Bui. a Trldon says, the type of woman who hoot ia the wrong type. She is tho victim of too much ego, the natural effect of sunuen ana sweeping -emancipation upon r.eurttlc temperaments. She thinks herself too Important when, in the beginning, she believes that she has a right to embark upon the for bidden course. She again thinks herself too powerful when. In the end, she assumes the right to kill In brief, this new determination of woman to hold man to the same high standard of fidel lly (hat la hers Is a. fine Ideal; but, when she undertakes to make her own laws of fidelity inside and outside the marriage relation and to enforce them at the point of a gun, she uses he lde! as an excuse for endangering the community. Juries will not help to establish the Ideal of the single standard by liberating women who have ridiculed It with murder. They will serve the law, the State and the ideal by requiring that good women shall develop '.he means of making the Ideal real. Good wo men have always been able to discipline men. They have never done It with guns. To let the woman who kills go unpunished is to Invite other offending women to shoot. f Economy In Figures Taking much glory to Itself from the fact that It has cost less to run the Government In prsce than it did In war, the naive Republi can spokesmen In this campaign become em barrassed only when they they are confronted with the big deficit estimated for the current fiscal year and for the year to follow after June, 1923. Thereupon the general Republican staff Issues a bulletin explaining to the elec torate that the deficits will b overcome by additional economies and by the payment by foreiftr. countries of Interest on the war debts. This word of hope is being broadcast from Washington this week. Tho voter may see readily the fiimsiness of t:ic Editor of Th Cltlzn: A number of my filend ar ask ing in u hy I have nut contributed something for this campaign lirfom th I'leitioii. The lliTt reason is 1 have pelll practically thla .hole year In bed an invalid, uol man) have thouicht I had passeit over the Great I 'Hide by my being silent so long.

I doubt If In th hiatorv of j American Jongreaaes as near noth ing bus ever been done for Anier- j lri and the tvorld as by the ilyinK ; Congress. It went In with !': ma- j Jorlty In th House, the wing of. Congress in which all monetary and i upbuilding legislation under the constitution must originate, ami the l ulled Slate Senate, one of the founders said, "cools dow u Its ' coffee in a saucer." A few mnro ( year will confirm the fact that the ; defeat of the United .State Senate ; Nations, because It was supposed to have originated In the brain of Woodrow Wilson, has cost this na tion morn billions of dollars than it cost us to whip the German and win ' the war, which, we believe would eetabliah peace throughout th world, but Instead, tha Re publican Party has put the heathi n Turk at liberty to murder the help less Christian hy the hundreds of thousands and It Is even going on today, all of which would have topped had America adopted and taken the lead In the League of Na tions. The selfish methods they have pursued Is one thing. I should think, only needful to be under stood not only to wipe out tho 15:' majority lii the House, but wipe them out of power for a half cen tury to come. If they have made good by promises, any sound-minded chil l even would know they should have come before the nation demanding their Indorsement and at leat a vindication of their having made good of at least one additional vote to Increase their majority to 1BU. At least thev should have mm i.. fore the country announcing; thev are going to gain one vote. Hut oh, ye gods, how have the mlcrhtv fallen.' Hy their own leaders anil their OWU DADers fhev am nnlv hopylng to sret bark with 2 Jorlty Instead of adding one to their ' majority, in the face of declar ing they have made eood ami ore already circulating figures like these.

If all the Senators and mem- oers were to De elected In the com ing election and the dissatisfied Republicans and all the Demo crats would turn out and vote, the Democrats would be in majority In both the Senate and House at the close of the coming election as cer tain as the sun shines. Zeb Weaver said In speaking of the Republican Party opposing paying our brave boys who, for a dollar a day, risk ed their lives in foreign lands while these monopoly Interests that re mained at home and made mil lions profiteering, and even tho brothers of soldiers profiteering to the tune of 120.00 a day for labor when their brothers In the battle front of FrRnce were dying for wages of a dollar a dsv. and these rich ones opposed giving them an additional compensation, and it Is HTr1 Cm "UJhere areyougoin my preUy maid?

The Administration leaders told the country some months ago that the Congres sional appropriations for all purposes in this fiscal year would amount to $8,660,000,000, and that such a reduction In the budget would en able the Treasury to meet all expenditures from the revenue collected. But not only Is there now discussion of deficiency appropriations which may be necessary to meet expenditures not r.uthorized by Congress, but the decline of revenue from the Incomes and profits of the people and of business makes a deficit a virtual certainty. After Genera! Dawes has forced the depart- i menta to cut their, budgets to the bone, there is no probability that there will be any further economies In the cost of government this year. Except England there is none of the foreign debtors In position to meet Interest payments on the war debt. Therefore, while It is under stood that there has been some natural de crease In the Governments expenses, the Re publican assurances about avoidance of deficits reactionaries. 3. That his folly coincided with a Rus sian anti-Jew campaign In this country, with the Ku-KIux outrages, and with a new outbreak of anti-Semitism In tho colleges. When Ford sailed on the ark of peace, to bring the boys out of the trenches by Christ iiirs, the world saw an Idealist; Inckfng in a certain kind Judgment, but not In that enter prise working any positive evil on the world That crusade, original but grotesque, revealed a mind too ready to fall In with any fantastic notion presented to it.

C Tho Unit ed State has more periodical lit erature than any country In the world and if a man sought to keep 'always brlrps over with Interest magazine editor in trie country, not excluding the great nationally known monthlies. Were he not connected with the hank and fol lowed the vocation of writing for the general press, hi articles would he in great demand and his name would be advertised on many covers, are devoted to the modestly con ducted but Immensely valuable periodical which the public never sees because it does not take the trouble to ask the National City Bank to be put on the mailing list. Take the current Issue of this publication n a typical example. It contains carefully written dis cussions under the following top ics: general business conditions; Industrial conditions, clothes and shoes, building operations, the ag ricultural situation, the foreign de mand for American products, corn and livestock, the cotton crop, trade conditions, the shortago of unskilled labor. Immigration and Its effects upon the farming pop ulation, profits of Industry, foreign competition, money and banking, conditions of the bond market, Inflation of the currency, prices, wages and cost of living, scarcity of currency In Germany, the Fed eral Reserve System, labor banks, personal incomes, the new tariff. The publication Is by no means devoid of human interest. On the contrary it is full of It. It tells such stories as that of the Rus sian farmer in Noxih Dakota who. single handed, cultivated 400 acres of land. 'in the harvesting season working all night on moonlight nights as well as all day. If telta of the Western farmer who. with his two boys, one 13 and the other 14 or 13 years of age, raised 1. 500 sheep and cultivated a &00 ar're fram in addition without as sistance. At the other end of the country the Mercantile Trust Company of San Francisco publishes a monthly review. Amon- tho articles con tained in the current Issue are those on Mexico's debt, past and present; water power in Califor nia, metal mining In Utah, the financial situation in Japan, the status of the Oregon lumber In dustry. Hawaiian sugar and th farming situation in Idaho. This issue contains a far simile repro duction of a map of North Ameri ca published in 1650. California is shown as an island and, Alaska does not appear at all. At the time of original publication, its publishers described the map an "new and most accurate." The bulletin frequently publishes such curiosities of special Interest on j the Pacific Coast. One of the liveliest and most readable of the bank bulletins, from a human interest point of view, is that published monthly hy the Northwestern Bank of Min neapolis. It is smaller In size than either of those named above, but The Scissors Route EDUCATION AND BIGOTRY. (Kansas City Times) One day last week a Missouri County celebrated a school day As it Is. his talentsN High and grade schools of ioveral counties united In the exorcises An immense throng gathered tor the occasion, five thousand, rural school children marched in a parade. There were reminder of tho progress being made ' i educa tion and contrasts with le pioneer days in the country and small town schools. To witness such a demonstration and similar demonstration that might be made In thousands of communities of this country; to think of the billions America has Invested In education, of the army of teachers, of the millions of boys and girls, young men and women that crowd the schools, evan the colleges, one might feel secure m the conclusion that the -nation, a democracy based on Individual in telligence. I eafe. But In the face of this effort, there are disquieting evidences of Intolerance, blgotory, narrow-mindedness, an unreadi ness to reason and to act upon rea son. There is an arraying of class against class, group against group, religion against religion, and race against race; there are quick re sponses to appeals to prejudice, ready ears to boasts and promises of the demagogue. Are we really an enlightened people, true follow ers of the principles of democracy, freedom, liberty, fraternity an 1 equality of right and opportunity? More schools, teachers, nuplls, equipment are not alone the solu tion. Removing Illiteracy will not suffice. There is an ignorance worse than illiteracy It is the ignorance j of those who have eyes, but will not see; minds that will not be broadened either by books or train ing: who hold beliefs they will net practice, and cherish unfounded convictions that challenge all ef forts at removal. Here Is the real menace to America. There is no call for the easy going tolerance that admits every thing and combats nothing. But the call Is for the kind of toler anc.e In the presence of which lib erty can exist, and without which freedom will have no chance. The rightly tolerant man, the really Intelligent man, la your best fighter for truth and a worthy cause. That lias been demonstrated from Georgo Washington on down through American history. Are we losing sight of this vital fact, with our education, our schools, our hordes of those who would train themselves for advanc ed position In life? Is American education making the onslaughts It should against unenlightenment. against bigotry and narrow-mindedness? the victim was struck on the back of the neck with a cord that had been wet In cold water.
