VALUE OF A GOOD NAME:—A
good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches, and loving favour rather
than silver and gold.—Proverbs 22:1.
THE MATTER SEEMS DECIDED.
The Senae apparently has decided
the issue of American adhesion to |
the world court. No vote on this
proposition lias been made but the
body lias voted overwhelmingly to in
' voke the cloture rule and if the pres
ent strength is maintained the propon
ents of the court plan will have easy
sailing when the vote on the adhes
ion resolution comes up.
Every effort at agreement failed.
The opponents wanted to take up the
tax bills first. They wanted to do
anything, in fact, to put off a vote on
the question. The proponents knew
the people want a decision as soon as
possible. That's the reason they held
out for a vote now. The invoking of
the cloture rule means that the mat
ter will come to a vote in the near
future.
There seems to be no question now
about the success of the administra
tion leaders and Democrats who have
worked for American participation in
the World Court. Unless many Dem
ocrats and Republicans change their
minds within the next several days
, there is nothing to be done but call
the roll.
With the Senate ready to partici
pate in the Court and President Cool
idge ready to participate n an arms
conference to be called by the League
of Nations, the United States seems
to be making some progress toward in-
I ternational relations. The World
* Court is not as good as The League
of Nations but it is decidedly better
tjjan nothing.
By participating in the arms con
ference President Coolidge makes it
understood that he would be aetiag as
an individual nation and not as a
member of the League. -That's all
right. We at least will be sliowing
our interest in the rest of the world.
BIGGER WATER SUPPLY FOR
- CONCORD.
City officials entrusted with such
matters, have made plans for a new
- impounding dam with the idea of fur
nishing u sufficient supply of water
in Concord at all times. The supply
of water to be impounded will be suf
ficient not only for present needs; it
* will be enough to supply any addition
al manufacturing enterprise that,
might want to locate in Concord.
While Cqpcord did not actually
Ruffer from lack of water last summer
during the drought, city officials were
brought face to face with the need
of a bigger supply. For several weeks
! Cold Water Creek, which furnishes
Concord with water, seemed almost
;> to be dried up and water was visible
only after sand had been taken from
:* the stream. Concord In growing ev
ery year and with no guarantee that
fg vre-are not to have further droughts,
the officials have refused to sit idle
Chambers UtM, *bich will be the
| new supply for the city, is a clear,
I sandy creek like Cold Water Creek.
Sr Tile daw- will be Jmilt at a point
| Yvhere the greatest amount of water
Wtm i
I can be impounded for the least expen
diture, and it is planned to have the
dam completed without delay.
Concord officials are wise to act.
in time in this matter. No city can
beebihe greater than its water supply
and the time to provide for the fu
ture ia before their is ryel suffering.
CLEARED SNOW PROM STREETS
While the snow fall of Monday was
not as deep as that of two weeks ago
and was free from sleet also, an or
ganised effort was made to remove it
from the streets in the business sec
-tion. Street forces were put on the
job at an early hour Monday and they
were able to move the fleecy flakes
about as fast as they fell.
Owners of business houses had the
snow swept from the sidewalks in
front of their stores into the ditches
but it was not allowed to accumulate
there. Huge water lines were estab
lished from hydrants in the business
section and this water melted and
moved the snow almost as rapidly as
it was swept into the ditches.
Due to the fact that Concord"'has
few snows in the course of the year
the city has no snow removing equip
ment, but it is well to improvise some
when the occasion demands. Those
persons who have charge of such mat
ters are to be commended for the
promptness with which they moved.
Such a policy should be made a per
manent one.

POLITICS IS STIRRING.
Statesville Daily.
Democrats of Marion county, Ind.,
or rather that portion of the Demo
crats of that Indiana county who es
say to speak for their fellow party
men. have declared against the Ku
Klux and the direct primary law. The
Ku Klux are not responsible for the
primary law. The Marion county
Democrats think they see political
prospects in paramounting opposition
to the bed sheet bunch and the pri-‘
mary law. Some North Carolina
Democrats would like to paramount
opposition to the same things and
would if they weren’t a-skeered of the
political effect. The Klan has had In
diana by the throat, under more com
plete domination than any other
state. For a time when anybody in
the Hoosier state named the klan ex
cept to praise he went in a room, clos
ed the door, shut the windows, stuffed
rags in the keyhole and talked in
whispers. But the klan has passed
its peak, even in Indiana. Since
one of its once prominent leaders was
convicted of murder its influence has
begun to wane. The best evidence of
that is that politicians are beginning
to speak out against it.
The proclamation of the Marion
county Democrats is accounted as of
importance because it has been ap
proved by Tom Taggart, Indiana Deb
ocratic boss, who adds some tilings
on his own account —the repeal of the
absentee voters' law being one. That
should give North Carolina Republi
cans a friendly feeling for Mr. Tag
gart. He says the law is a farce and
is more and more abused each year.
Plenty of folks know that is true as
to the North Carolina law. "Abused"'
is a mild word for the things done
under color of a law that would be
all right if honestly administered.
Its application in our state is so per
meated with fraud that all fair-minded
people should desire its repeal.
Mr. Taggart would eliminate the
primary law and return to the con
venient system of deleting candi
dates, on the ground that the "very
best, most capable and cianpetent”
candidates can be selected by conven
tions, which same, lie contends, are
quined in the primaries. Which is to
say that the Democratic voters are
not competent to select their own
candidates and should delegate that
job to the political leaders, alias the
bosses. That is what anti-primary
Democratic politicians in North Car
olina say privately. They are a lit
tle careful about sayiug that in the
open, as the rank and file might not
feel complimented.
With a former Republican governor
of Indiana taken form the executive
office to the Atlanta prison, the Dem
ocrats with their anti-klan : ssue and
all. no dr.ubt think they have •
chance. But a governor of Illinois
received an increased majority when
they charged him with financial irreg
ularities which, if they had convicted
him. would have landed him in state
prison: and the Kentucky Congress
man was triumphantly re-elected while
he was under prison sentence. The
voters may think that some of the
other side an' out of jail only because
they haven’t got their dues. ,
Itanium's Rules of Success,
In view of the announcement that
the story of the remarkable career of
of I*. T. Barnnm will be portrayed
for the public on the screen, renders
of The Journal will be interested to
know how this man achieved success
in his line. In 1852 Mr. Barnum
drafted ten rules, which li* called
‘‘Business Rules for Young Men.”
They are as follows:
“l.—Select the k’nd of business
that suits your natural inclinations
and temperament.
“2. Let your pledged word ever
sacred.
“3.—Whatever yqu do. do with all
your might.
“4. —Sobriety : Use no description of
intoxicating liquors.
“s.—Let hope predominate, but be
not too visionary.
“O.—Do not scatter your powers,
i “7.—Engage projier employes.
‘•B.—Advertise your business.. Do
i not hide your light under a bushel.
, "9.—Avoid extravagance, aßd al
. ways live considerably within your
income, if you can do so without ab
solute starvation.
\ “16.—D0 not upon others.;!

In the absence of other (girting
facilities, careless “motorists some
times make tire repairs with their
headlights as the source of illum
ination. This is a most dangerous
practice, the moving figures before
the headlights adding to the confu
sion. A more satisfactory and con
venient light for roadside repairs,
which causes no confusion, to the
drivers of passing cars, is a flash
light. This enables you to have
the light where you want it and
where you need it It makes if
unnecessary to wheel the tire to tilt
front of the car again for
inspection. Nor do you' have to
fumble with the jack and hunt for
rim nuts in the dark. ,
Some flashlight cases are equipped
with clips, so that they can be
attached to the belt. This leaves
both hands free, with plenty of il
lumination for repair work. The
flashlight also comes in handy when
backing across a narrow road so
as to avoid the ditch, and in leav

ny curiosity as to whether the
girl with whom he bad ’ Chatted
Upon his arrival was still there.
The guarded radiance of a door
'.amp had revealed her still sitting
by the window staring out upon
the moon-washed streets.
“Mademoiselle,” Paul said tim
idly walking over to her, “how de

here. Bqt why are you not In the
ballroom? The noise Indicates
the people ther4 are enjoying
themselves without restraint; but
then, to give happiness to others

“Your brother?” Dolores stared
hard at him.
"Why, yes, my brother Michael
—surely you know him?" \
“Yes—l—l know hita," she said
slowly, “but to tell you the truth,
Monsieur Paul, for I know that Is

well, and was resting here for a
few moments before leading for

me so that those ‘moments' have

subtle, graceful smile. “Your

could blame nobody but himself
for what the future might bring
forth. He thought that the
comedy was ended; but as she
had already threatened, it was not
the close of the play—only the bo
ginning ot another act!
“Thla music Is a captivating ac

In answer to Paul’s summons, a
servant brought champagne.
"To you, Mademoiselle,” Paul
cried, touching goblets with her,
“and to the pleasure of our first

forerunner ot many!”
"A strange situation for you,
Monsieur," Dolores said archly,
“proposing a toast to a lady whom
you have never seen before, and
whose name you do not sv«q
know!"
“Don’t say a strange situation.
Say, rather, that it is a most unex

Surely, you will relieve my sus

chief charm revealed Itself in his
brother,' and Dolores smiled yad\y.
Yes, the same gracious charm was
there—but would the same cynic
ism and carelessness eventually ap
pear? For what reason had Mich
ael turned so against her? Just
because he had grown surfeited,
and evidently expected her to
tire at exactly the same time?
Had he expected her to shake hands
and part the Best of friends, as he
had more than once hinted? Should
romance mean no more than that
to a passionate woman? A wave
of bitterness surged over her.
“Very well, Michael,” she
thought bitterly to herself, "our
little affair Is dead, then, and
past, but a new one will start in
which you won’t be a participant!
Not at first, at least, though It
may develop into the grimmest
tragedy of your life."
"You have not answered my
question," said Paul, suddenly in
terruptlng the girl’s reflections.
“I ask your pardon. Monsieur,
but I was thinking. My name?
. Well, If your curiosity must be
appeased, It is Dolores Slerra.“
She rose and smiled coquettishly
“And now—in spite of many pro
testations and appeals, I bare
kept the next dance for you,”
"And 1 am (tottered that out ol

the shimmering moonbeams—“l

He eagerly shifted a tabis and
soiiie chairs, clearing a small
space. The intervening walls soft
aned the orchestral music to sub
dued tones that created an amorous
atmosphere for the two dancers
Ip the library. In common out
wardly they typified youth as they
glided about, but their spirits were
widely apart Paul’s was the
happy, carefree abandon that had
never confronted any Obstacles;
whjje Dolores, though outwardly
possessing the same freshness and
charm, was at heart a bitter and
long-disillusioned woman ot easy
virtue
“You dance divinely, Mademols
ells," he murmured huskily, "but
tha{ oaa be no news to you.”
“There isn’t a woman in thi»
world. Monsieur, who has ever
yearied ot a compliment, espe
cially If it is sincere."
Suddenly Dolores grew deathly
pale and a hunted look dulled her
