FOUNTAIN, SHORT BALLOT AND THE BROOKINGS REPORT. if Two or three years ago Governor Gardner in his commendable solicitude for better govern ment in North Carolina invoked the illumination cf the Brookings Institution, of Washington or New York. The Brookings Institution after studying the old-time methods of government still in vogue in the State, made a report in which among other modern and progressive ideas, the "short ballot" was recommended. The "short ballot" means simply that the right to elect a great many of the most important State ofneers should be taken out of the hands of the people, and that the Governor should be invested with the power to appoint them. Lieutenant-Governor Fountain in his cam paign for the gubernatorial nomination, is car rying on against the "short ballot." Fountain is right. The short ballot may be modern, ultra-modern, progressive and highly economical. But it is dangerous in principle. The people have already had too many of their rights taken away from them. The short ballot is in the same category with the county consolidation idea, also recommend ed by Brookings. There are four counties in North Carolina which, if you will allow them to absorb three or four of their neighboring coun ties each, will be supreme in the General Assem bly. A bloc of fifteen or twenty senators ded icated to the interests of big business will con trol legislation. You may save overhead by consolidation, but may lose other things even more important than expenses. The Brookings idea is entirely too modern for North Carolina yet, where old-fashioned ideas of the masses having a voice in government still obtains. MAYBE WE ARE WRONG. For many weeks the great heart of the world has been stilled with grief over the tragedy in the Lindbergh home. Now in its last stages an added and poignant pathos is disclosed in the dispatch, appearing in the papers yesterday that the stricken father after spending a quarter of a million in the fruitless search had to bor borrow 525,000 to meet the final demands of the fakirs who exploited him so mercilessly, and now admits himself "busted." Would we be taking a too cynical view of lov ing humanity to surmise that "now" thousands of former enthusiasts or fanatics who have raved so vociferously, will lose interest 7 THE MICAWBERS. " " \ The delusion that prosperity was just around the corner has been dispelled long ago, and the Pollyannas it seems are all dead or gone on a vacation. 'But we still have with us the Micaw bers, who are buoyed with the hope that "some thing is going to turn up." The mental attitude of people is what sustains them, anyway. As long as we believe a thing thoroughly, we are just about as well off as if we had it. The great trouble is believing. Hints for Homemakers By Jane Rogers LEFT OVER vegetables p.i-e apt to taste flat when reheated. A teaspoonful of sugar, along with salt and pepper will work wonders In restoring "garden" flavor —the sugar serving a. a blending agent for the other ingredients. This Is a seasoning trick common among continental chefs. One way to prevent windows from sticking Is to rub the cords occasionally wrth soap, running the window* op and down a few times altar the application. « j ' « Supt. of Schools J. C. Carson, here from Oermanton today, was unable to say just what the Stokes board of education would do in regard to adopting a plan suggested that wivos of men who have employment be not engaged to teach un the schools here.

And for the Repub. j licans to select a leader to maintain | the country's present status of pro. ' Kress- and stability. To the noble-minded there is beauty in everything, no the callou.t. minded there is beauty in nothing. The degree of beauty is governed by one's capacity for perceiving I beauty. To some fuperb beauty is ' mediocre; to others mediocre beau 'ty is superb. ' The difference between success and failure is usually the difference be. | tween courage and despair. Often ' when we are within reach of success we allow despair to blind us to its presence. | It's the last lap that really wins I the race. , To lag behind in the last lap, regardless of the effort in the pnev. ious laps, means defeat.
