The man who thought a
buggy was good enough
In the old days, a solid, conservative citizen might; sniff
and tell you he didn’t read advertising.
He didn’t think so much of the horseless carriage, either.
The telephone was newfangled, and an insult to the United
States mails. .

As for radio, aeroplanes, wireless photography-—if they
had been bom then, he probably would have thought them
a bit immoral.
But he’s changed. He’s been educated. His point of
view has been made broader and more modem. He has
been civilized—by the automobile, the telephone, radio,
advertising.
Every single one has opened up new paths for him,
taught him new things. Advertising, especially. Ad
vertising tells him the new things to wear, the best things
to eat. Advertising tells his wife how to make a home
up to date and attractive. Advertising tells him the prices
to pay for things he buys, saves him from the old-fashioned
ways of doing business—helps him live well, keeps him
modem. %
Advertising can help you. The advertisements in this
newspaper are here to tell you many things that make life
more comfortable, more interesting, happier. Read them
faithfully. They’ll keep you abreast of the times. They’ll
prevent you from becoming the type of old fogy who—
sniff!—doesn’t read advertising.
Advertising is the key to modernity
FOR CO-OPERATION BETWEEN
- WHITE AND NEGRO RACES
The Two Races Are Unalteroby Unit
ed, Says Mr. Sink.
Wadesboro, N. C., Jan. 20.— UP) —
Declaring that the destinies of the
two races are “unalteraby united,”
H. Hoyle Sink, state pardon commis
sioner, tonight voiced a plea for co
operation between the white and ne
gro races, and paid tribute to. the
progress made by the negroes of
North Carolina and the South during
the past half-century, :' ;
Mr. Sink was speaking here before
the North Carolina Negro Farmers’
Congress.
Mr. Sink expressed the belief that
“a nation is dependent for its strength,
for its progress nnd development On M
the character, intelligence and fore
sight of its individual citizens,’’ and
uurged upon his hearers that ‘your
worth to your community, your state
and your nation is dependent entirely
upon yourself.’
"The destiny of our state—your
state and my state—is dependent not
alone on the white race, but likewise
on the negro race, declared the speak
er.
“It has been but a few years since
the opinion was prevalent in North

Carolina that the negro race was
worthy of but little education, and
but little of the world’s possessions.
However, that theory has changed to
one of co-operation. Today the lead
ing sentiment in North Carolina, and
in the South for that matter, is to
the effect that the two races must of
necessity work out their destinies to
gether, and that the successful out-’
come is dependent upon a spirit of co
operation and assistance on the part
of both races.
“This is indicated Dy the millions
of dollars being spent annually upon
the education of the negro race. It
should not be offensive for me to say
that n large part of the funds that
are spent annually toward maintain
ing the negro schools in North Caro
,j lina comes out of the pocket of the
white man, because—granting thjm
this is true —the negro race has to its
credit the greatest example of racial!
progress in the history of the human
race. ,
“When we think of the two and. '
one-half billion dollars worth of prop
erty owned by your race in North
Carolina, and considering in connec
tion therewith that it has been but
fifty years since tile race came out of
the bonds of slavery, it should be a
source of gratification that would of-
set any feeling of embarrassment her
cause of'the assistance that is" given
you by the white race.”
The speaker declared that when he
was able to “sit down with an old
slave negro and listen to the tales
that he has to tell” it was a source of
inspiration to him, because it lent
hope to the faith he has in the negro
race, and was an inspiration to him
personally in bis own struggle in life.
“We sometimes take more pride in
our state than is justified by tiyf
fncts; we sometimes think of our
state as- a leader among those of the
Southern group, but I say here tonight'
that with, the co-operation! of the ttjp
races there is every reason to believe
that our state should hot only be *
leader within its own group, byl
should be one of the leading, if not
leading, state of the American Unlop,
The reason I make this statement is
based very largely upon the fact that
we have less foreign born populntftti
•titan any other state ip the uniop.
While we have two races, they art
both native born to an exceedingly,
large extent.” The speaker explained
at this juncture that he meant no re
flection on foreign born citizens, bpt
that those horn in this country nat
urally h.ave a greater interest in the|r
THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
■ community and nation.”
Turning to the thought of individ
ual responsibility, the speaker declar
ed:
“The one thing that is most needed
! in North Carolina today is to instill,
not alone into the boys and girls who
: are of school age and less, but into
1 those who have grown up, the idea of
1 personal and individual honor and in
• tegrity.”

' MASONS SHOULD ASSUME
BURDEN OF ORPHANAGE
■ Grand Master Casta Unwilling to
1 Divide Responsibility.
> Raleigh, Jan. 19—The hope that
i the time will soon come when the
1 North Carolina Grand Lodge of
h Mpsons will bear the full support of
, the Masonic orphanage at Oxford,
i dispensing with the state appropria
. .floo, was registered by Grand Mas
, ter Leon Cash, of Winston-Salem, in
his annual address at the opening
j : session tonight of the 139th anual
, communication of ths Masonic Grand
Lodge.
The state of North Carolina con
. tributes, through legislative ap
propriation, $30,000 a year to sup-’
port of the Oxford orphanage.
“I cannot get my mind away from
f the fact that Oxford orphanage
. should be a Masonic institution sup
" ported entirely by Masons,” the
| grand master declared. “I cannot be
| lieve that the fraternity in North
| Carolina is either unable or unwil
| ling to foot the bills for its entire up
| keep, and proper expansion; and I
1 hope that the time will soon come
I when the Grand Lodge of North
I Carolina will not ask for the con

I to assist in the maintenance of the
| orphanage. This institution is the
| just pride nnd crowning glory of
I North Carolina Masontry, and if our
| craft will not rally to its support we
I will not rally to the support of any-
I thing.
I "But when this institution is sup
[ ported entirely by Masonic benefne-
I tions we must see carefully to it that
I Masonry is benevolent enough and
I broad enough to still admit any
f orphans from anywhere. The pity of

IRISH-IRELAND IS DEAD
Sir James ’Oconnor Belives That tbe
Stability of the Irish Free State Is
Assured.
New York, Jan. 20.—(4 s )—The Rt.
Hon. Sir James O’Connor, recent
Lord Justice of Appeal for Ireland,
believes that the political stability of
the Irish Free State is assured and
that Irisb-Ireland-is dead.
The also one-time Solicitor General
and Attorney General, in his f new
"History of Ireland. 1788-1924.” adds
that “by this I do not mean to imply
that Ireland will become an English
shire. The gulf set by difference of
religion and race will always remain.
The old Faith will profoundly affect
the philosophy and the character of
the Irish people."
"The real conquest of Ireland by
England—a contest founded if not up
on a sentiment of affection, upon an
acknowledged community of interests
and a free exchange of ideas—-has be
gun, “the author declares. “Irish-Ire
land is dead.
“The Irlsh-Irelanders will see. their
hopes cruelly disappointed. They may
succeed, with the strong hand, in forc
ing Ireland to become bilingual, but
that will not. prevent the penetration
of English thought and culture. This
does not refer, to steps taken in Ire
land to keep out dangerous and sala
cious literature. They deserve to suc
ceed nnd will succeed.”
Sir James presents, the History, to
be published by George B, Doran
Company, as an attempt to sum up,
“fairly and in a spirit of detachment,
the case of Ireland vs. England and
the cross case of England vs.‘ Ireland
—for there are well-founded, plaints
on both sides.” . .
“A very wholesome effect of the
Anglo-Irish settlement is that Ireland
will get rid of the extreme*, Irish-Am
erican politician whoqe interference
in affairs has been disastrous,”
he continues. “His influence and pow
er for mischief in America yill. be
greatly diminished, to tbe relief of ev
ery sane and rational Irishman at
home and abroad.”
As a summary of Ireland’s indict
ment against England. Sir James says :
"The gravaman of the church which
Ireland justly brings against England
is the Union itself. The passage of
the measure, well-intentioned and the
oretically just as it was, was Achiev
ed by questionable means. The per
sistence in the Union long after the
junior partner had unmistakably ex
pressed its desire to be free from it, is
a great blot upon British statesman
ship. The delay created the Ulster
question and the exasperation it pro
duced led to the rebellion and to Hie
horror of the Anglo-Irish war.”
Som£ kind of fusion between North
and Sout)i Ireland lie regards as al
most certain.
"When the financial relations are
adjusted,” he declares, “it is certain
that as a matter of expediency, the
Free State will escape a great propor
tion of not all the war debt. It is in
evirable./that Northern Ireland must
be treated with the like considera
tion.” • ,
‘ Out of .the question an IrUii Musso
lini has been evolved,” says the au
thor.
“Kerin O’Higgins is a young man,
about thirty, who is the mainstay of
the government and the sternest ruler
of Ireland since the Union. He is one
of the few public men that Ireland
ever produced who dares to tell his
countrymen even part of the truth."
The last English society woman to
manage a motion-picture theater is
the Hon. Mr*. Richard Norton, who
has taken over the active manage
ment of one of the prominent film
houaea in London.
FROM DAWES TO LOCARNO
McDonald Says the English People
. Have Undertaken a Great Respon
sibility.
New York, Jnn. 20.— UP) —Great
Britain had no business putting its
signature to the Locarno pact “unless
we intend to carry out the spirit we
communicated to the people who ini
tiated ns,” J. Ramsay McDonald, for
mer prime minister and foreign min
ister, in a foreword to a book
“From Dawes to Locarno,” written by
George Glasgow, noted journalist.
“We mnsr remember What we led
■them to expect, not the ways open to
us, in accordance with the imperfect
letter, to get out of our responsibili
ties,” Mr. MacDonald declared in the
book which Harper and Brothers soon
will publish. "Our people have un
dertaken a tremendous responsibility.
They have taken risks which are ac
tually greater, although they appear
less on paper, than they were willing
to take under the Protocol.
“We have handed over the British
army and navy to other powers under
Locarno, if we did it under the Proto
col. The Rhineland must be subject
to a new agreement. We must strive
to make the disarmament conference a
success.” •
Mr. MacDonald says that from one
point of view the Locarno treaties,
bv settling the Rhine frontier dealt
with something “that never could be
come a prime cause of a European
war,” and adds, “if anybody thinks
that by getting agreement on the
Rhine l frontier we have made Euro
pean war impossible, he should think
again.”
“There were three things about the
Locarno pact, however, fvhich gave
Europe new hope. Locarno offers a
magnificent opportunity that will be
fruitful for pence only insofar as that
opportunity is taken.”
