Mount Airy News. ML Airy, N. C, Sept St, 1922 I. M. JOBOTOM « ■OX. lUBtCKIFTION SATM; Om tmt IMO month* : TS the poatoffiae U Hwrt Airy, N. (X, mtm tlMMt of Cwirwi of Mm* nm THE RELIGION OF THE TURK Tho fact that the Turk U again la tka mind of all tho thinking world ntkM him • subject of unusual In tereet, for he has coma dangerously near bringing about another world war. And ha may do it yet. If Raaaia and Germany lina up with him la hia effort* to gat what ha want* hi the way of territory, no ono can tall where the trouble will end. But It la now apparent that the trouble will be adjueted In a peace confer etiea. Why la the Turk such a blood thlraty creature la aa interacting qiaatlon, for he haa credit for cruel ty unequalled by any other people. The anawer to thla queetlon may be found In hia rellgioua belief. Mo hanuned, the founder of the" present Turkish belief, lived a few hundred year* after Chriat and waa a re ligious fanatic of great natural ability. He Ihred among a people and at a time when he waa under tha In fluence of the Jewtah religion, Bud lam and heathenlam, and he under took to make a religion that would be a combination of the truth of all theee beliefs. The result is tha Koran which is the bible of the Mo haaunedans, and most of the Turks are of this faith. The Turk belongs to th« Mongo lian race^and is nearer like the Chinese than any other people. He haa lived since the dawn of history in Southern Alia and haa a language of hit own that U not like any other tongue. Through all the cen turies he hai been a warrior, and to day la not much better than a bar barian. The Mohammedan religion haa had much to do with making Mm the fanatic he ia today. While the religion haa many excellent truth* along with the treth Is mixed no much error. The Koran forbids the use of wine or intoxicating drinks of any kind. It forbids the charg ing of intereet on money and puts specisl stress on business honesty of every nature, death being the penalty for many forms of dishoneety. The lightness with which the marri age relation is held by the Koran is the most objectionable feature to en lightened people. A marriage with them is no more than a verbal con tract entered into in the presence of two witnesses. And if a man tires of his wife he sends her away from his home the same as a citizen of this country would hirv a man, the only legal requirement being that be shall pay her a small sum of money. The Koran permits four wives and many concubines. This licentious teaching is not confined to this life, but heaven is supposed to he a life of sensuality, eating, drinking snd being merry all through eternity. It is most desira ble to die in battle for the faith, for then one will have special privileges m heaven. And the faith tcache* that unbelievers shall he put to death. The rule in war ia to make slaves of all the captured women and children and kill the men, unless they at once embrace the faith of the Turk. "The whole earth will be us one loaf of bread, which God will reach to them like a cake; for meet they will have the ox of Balam. and the fish of Nun, the lobes of whose IWers will suffice for 70,000 men. Every believer will have 80.000 ser vants and 72 girls of Paradise, be sides his own former wives, if he should wish for these, snd a large tent of pearls, jacinth* and emeralds. Three hundred dbhes of gold shall be set before eacn truest at once and the last morsel will be as grateful as the first. Wine will be permitted and It will flow copiously, without inebriating. The righteous will he clothed In the most precious silks and golds, and will be crowned with crowns of the most resplendent pearls and jewels. If they desire children, they shall beget them, and see them grow up within an hour." "Besides the raviahing songs of the angel Israel and the daughters of paradise, the very trees will, by U» ruatHag of their boughs, the clang tag of bells suspended from then, and the etaahlng of their fruits, which are pearls snd emeralds, make sweat music." Soma picture to hold bofora a haothmt u to what will ba hia lot in tho nart wo rid, don't you think? 1W Turk haa not devalopad hia country and la not will In* for othara to Imlof H.

It la largaly dua to thaaa chronic grumblara that ona haara tha rritlciam abonf tha manner la which atoto affair# at* managed. North Carolina ia becoming known over tha entire nation aa one of tha moat prograaaivo atatea in the Union. The mannar in which wa care for tha unfortunate, the inaane, tha blind and daaf, and tha unfortun ate women, la above criticism of any reasonable man. Our efforts at de veloping the resources of the atate are not equalled anywhere in tha nation. in another ten years, if the Demo cratic party remains in power, the state will be one of the beat in all th« land. Roads and bridge* will connect up every tection, schools and chttrehea will be convenient to every man, wo man and child, and law and ordar, peace and proaperity. will be the rule of the land. Of course alt thi* costs, and there are those who WtMild be willing to g* hark to the timet of fifty yeara ago and thai aave a few dollar* in taxea. But men who are of thi* kind are not among the bir tax payers. The real ly large tax payers of the state are satisfied with the modem, progres sive way in which the people are liv ing and working out their political and financial welfare. During the next few weeks the people will hear much about the poli tical issues of the day. It is well tHWThey do, for only by keeping in formed can a people vote intelligently and thus make for themxelves a safe snd dependable government. ENFORCING EDUCATION IN CANADA The effort to enforce education In the province of Canada is taking an interrating turn. The government has made a law that all young peo ple up to the age of eighteen yaara shall spend as much as two hours each school day in school between the hours of nine in the morning and five in the afternoon. This law is opposed by big business and there is an effort on foot to find tome way around it. In Canada there an many young people who must earn their own living long before they are eighteen. The Government recog nise* this, and yet it sees the im portance of educating these young people, even if they mutt earn their i)»n living. Big business insists that it cannot use a man profitably and let him he out two hours each day. It i« almost a similar caae to the attitude of big busineas in ao«e sec tions of this country. We have many ' Mg manufacturers who would work children^ and do. of very tender years simply becauae they can do this at a profit. The disgrace of the South i* the attitude towards child labor. The hopeful thing about it all is that there la a strong and growing sentiment in favor of education all over the civilised world, and thi* sentiment will finally tee that every child is given an education and a fair atart in life.
