THE RICHEST OF ALL.
At i No other people on the face of the earth
I iompare with those of the United States in
S- accumulation of wealth.
I j . The Federal Trade Commission has finisli
j! fed an elaborate inquiry into the riches of the
J' "United States at the close of 1922 and reports
| a total of close to $400,000,000,000. I his is
| jisome billions more than Great Britain and
Ffance combined. It shows an increase in 10
yeaifs, counting from 1912, of about five bil-
X lions a year. This rapid accumulation of
wealth goes forward despite a free and gener
j ous spending that means stupendous consump
| i fion of what is produced each year,
j ' The commission analyzes the grand total
Jrtto the shares owned by corporations under
?i Various group headings as. for instance, iron
and steel, $10,000,000,000; public utilities $27,-
300,000,000, and steam railroads $17,000,000,-

■«* And to a certain extent, at least, we are
generous with.our wealth. We still take care
of foreign loans at low rates 6f interest, we
give generously to needy causes in the old
world and at home our benefactions are much
greater than ever before in the history of the;
world.
This great wealth attained in the United
States makes other nations jealous; in fact it
makes some of them envious. Still there is :
nothing we can do about it insofar as helping
them is concerned. America is progressive,'
alert and ready to take a chance. Some other'’
nations are lazy, indifferent and ignorant tu.
P the extent that they want their past misfor
tunes to carry them through all periods of de
pression and uncertainty.
TEXTILE MEN SEEKING AID.
The entire nation watched with unusual in
-3 terest the outcome of the conference between
> textile men of the South and government of-
ficials, and the public hopes some good will re
st su^-
i The High Point Enterprises expresses the
P belief that too many cotton mills have been
G erected, declaring that in the past when wc
had about half as many mills as we have now
the mills were prosperous. The Gastonia Ga-
G zette thinks perhaps over-production is the
cause.
Over-production may have something to do
with it, but rather wc think the trouble is un
der-consumption. That is, too many people
are doing without the cotton goods. .-Artificial
silks and silks have taken the place of cotton
fabrics in many instances and the over-pro
duction has resulted from the change and
probably Would have resulted if no additional
mills had been erected.

THE PRIDE OF THE CITY.
[pi -Concord boasts now of a hotel as modern
and as handsome as the best in the State. Not
jr as large as some others, to be sure, the struc

ll cilitjes and equipment found in the best hotel
if buildings everywhere. .
ii. The Hotel Concord is the pride of the city,'
representing as it does, the most con\prehen
? sive community project in the history of Con
i': cord. It represents, if you please, co-qpera
iion between citizens of Concord, and at the!
same tipie optimism in the future Concord,
j! Jt has been built with an eye to the future i
H and rightly so. Too often has Concord built j
onlyfo.r -the present, to see the mistake in a
Sr actively short time. ' s - <'"■ : J

The VVjlliwp Foot yptel Operating Corpora
tion has a reputation that is linked with suc-
HCi&Sa and we are" certain the sen. ice here will
be all that could be desired. The people of
Concord need to take a personal interest in the
hotel if they would give it the success it de
serves.

MR. DANIELS A DEMOCRAT.
We admit that Hon. Josephus Daniels is
a progressive and a dry, but above these
things he is a Democrat, and those persons
who have visions of him running on an inde
pendent ticket with Senator Borah are dream
ing and nothing else. /
It is true that the dry element would prob
ably support such a ticket, with the Senator
for President and Mr. Daniels for Vice Pres
ident, but such a ticket will not'be offered to
them. The North Carolinian is a dyed-in-the
wool Democrat and he is going to remain that
way. If the voters of the country get an op
portunity to vote for Josephus Daniels it will
be after his name is placed on the Democratic
ballot. He is not going prospecting with Sen
ator Borah as any independent or progressive
candidate.
A GROWING NEWSPAPER.

THE UNREST IS SEEN.
Hickory Record.
The News and Observer recognized the large Reynolds
vote as an existing spirit of unrest among the younger
Democracy of this State and the likely opinion is that : t
sees aright. Senator Overman was sent to Washington
two decades ago and the powerful hands that sent him
there then are mostly withered with age now. A new
set is rising. Both Senators from North Carolina have
been more or less lost to the younger generation and the
mythical reaction that has been told them from swad
dling days does not satisfy that desire to know and be
close to their representatives in Washington. So an
unrest surges in the breast of youthful democracy.
Here is the voice of the News and Observer, typical
of the staid Democracy but keenly awake to the rest
lessness which prevails :
“There was general surprise at the big vote polled by
Mr. Reynolds in his contest for United Stiftes Senator.
He has many friends who were earnest in his support
and he secured much sup]>ort by a very active canvass
going all over the State and askiug support. But those
two things do not in themselves account for his very
large vote.
“It was expected that Senator Overman would win by
a vote of live or six to one. There was no cumpaign
against him. His record, particularly liis distinguished
record in the Wilson administration, was not assailed.
Indeed in most respects it was unassailable. He is
1 highly regarded and there was not critcism voiced
against Mi. Reynolds was not a strong candidate
ifis appeal was to young men to give youth u chaice and
he raised no issue. Why then did he poll so large a
vote in a campaign recognized as hopeless from the be
jginniug?
k ‘ “The aijawer L not alone because Senator Overman, in
recent years hu** been seen little by the younger voters
of the or because, as one puper puts it. he has not
been seen East of the Roanoke River in u decade. As a
matter of fact except for an occasional appearance at
big gatherings he has seldom made addresses in recent
years in part of the State. In fact the Senate has been
so constantly in session that neither Senator from North
>r -Carolina has made a canvass of the Ntitte in u dozen
! years.
“ *1 voted against Overman as u protest,* is an expres-1
siou often heard. Not as a protest against any partieu
lar thing, but as a protest “against the static tendency
J have observed and against static politics in North
Carolina.” Tin* bulk of the Reynolds vote was from
young voters who are said to have grown tired of “let
ting well enough alone” and some observers sec in : t a
strong tendency toward revolt from certain machine
IKditics which tend toward lessening discussion and to
too slavish adherence to ultra conservatism and to the
danger of domination by machine methods. Senator
Overman was regarded by many as too conservative but
not as manipulating machine methods, for the result
shows he had no machine.
“It is evident that, these is a spirit of unrest in many'
circles of voters but there is devision of op : nion as to
the cause or causes of such political uurest among Dem
ocratic voters/’
Without issue, without attack, sans all, North Caro
lina aroused a battering vote for Bub Reynolds and the
New's and Observer sees it us a protest against the Dem
ocracy which Senator Overman represents. Near.ly 40
per cent, of tfhe population registered dissent. Is that
not a powerful indication of restlessness? No pro
found. ill-wut was evidenced toward the Junior Senator
from North Carolina. No bitter feeling came to light.
It was just the voice of a new Democracy rising up
and shouting for a change, or probably more correctly,
for ex proas of its unrest.

"BROKEN HEARTS OF HOLLYWOOD” with Loulae Dresser Is •
Warner pleturlaation of this novsL
HTNOFSIS
Betti TencilUger. a beautiful
girl, an 4 Bab Chutney, a hondteste
young si an, are mutually attracted
en route to Hollywood at prize win
ner t of net ctpaper contests, for
movie tryouts. Arriving in Bolly
wood they take rooms in the caste
boarding house—a place frequent
ed by movie actors, who find
Betsy’s face strangely familiar.
Marshall, reputed to be responsible
tor many of the “broken hearts
of Hollywood,” takes an interest In
Betsy. The next morning they re
port at the studio.
CHAPTER V.
What after U|e soaring thrill of
the extravagant (In their eyes!) re
ception accorded them by the pres
ence of a real chauffeur and s real
limousine at the station to meet
them upon their arrival, Betsy and
Hal naturally expected that they
would be received with open arms
and not a little fuss at the Amal
gamated Studio. It was something
of a puzzle to them, therefore, when
they bad reported bright and early
that next morning, to bave the
Casting Director. Cameron, accept
their credentials and pictures with
out a word or the hint of a smile of
welcome.
Suddenly both Betsy and Hal
felt 111 at ease, and exchanged
nervous glances.
Cameron, with the eternal frown
ing ' preoccupation of an over-busy
man, uprose from bis littered desk
and after a brief, keen appraisal of
each —with his rapier eyes the only
features of his expressionless face
showing the slightest trace of ani
mation, and that cryptic—he aatd
tersely:
“How do you do. Please wait
here." Then he walked quickly
from the railed off lobby space that
•erTed him tor an office, and dis
“Bow do you do. Please wait here."
appeared Into the sacrosanct Inner
bowels of the Executive Building.
Betsy and Hal, left to their own
devices, began to take timid note of
their surroundings. The Amalga
mated was not one of the largest
or showiest studios on the Coast,
and a good deal of Us lay-out was
along old-fashioned lines. The cast-'
tng office was a railed off space in
s corner of a large, tiled lobby,
which was filled with benches for
the accommodation of extras watt
ing to be Interviewed or cast or
sent Inside for assignment. A
swinging door —portal of many
hopes and more tears—opened out
Into the Studio Yard, which was en
closed In the huge. drab, cement
quadrangle formed by the Studio
buildings, which Included offices,
glassed studios, and laboratory. In
this Yard, as It was known, were
several outdoor stages. Adjacent
lots provided more outside sets;
which here, In California, unlike
the case with Eastern studios, out
numbered the Indoor, or glass root,
stages.
AU this, of course. Betsy and Hal
had still to learn; they knew only
that they were standing awkwardly
Inside a round brass railing, at the
side of a large room full of a mill
ing crowd of people, each and every
one of whom seemed to bave a curi
ously strained, pleading expression
superimposed upon a background
Air of hopelessness. To Betsy and
Hal that swinging door was still
the glided gate to fairyland; to
most of the others present it was
the remote hope of a coveted day’s
work—the price of a few square
meals.
* “I feel so uncomfortable the way
all these people are staring at us.”
Betsy whispered to Hal; “and the
tunny way they’re staring!”
”1 feel kinds creepy myselL
They look as though they’d like to
pounce on us.”
“Oh, Hal. some of those poor old

Thus elastic are the thoughts of

bopel
Morning Is the time of ambition's
highest tide; so, despite the cold
water dashed on their glowing ex
pectancy by the cynical actors at
the supper table the night before,
both Betsy and Hal bad arisen be
times and dressed carefully, with
fingers that shook.
When they had met at breakfast,
their trip-found friendliness had
returned in the full vigor of affec
tionate young hearts, sweeping
away the trivial reserve that had
threatened to grow up the evening
before because of Betsy's favorable
reaction to the attentiveness of
Marshall.
i But Marshall had not Interrupted
his beauty aledb in time to put In
an appearance at the breakfast
table before* they left; though
Betsy had rather hoped that be
would, and that he might offer to
go with them to the Studios, for
she was sure that the Intervention
of so Influential a man aB be
claimed to be would help smooth
tbelr novitiate way.
There had been, then, no oily
tongue oark earnestness •to
fascinate the naive confidence of
Betsy this morning, or to rufflle
Hal. Together, on the train, these
two bad shared the thrill of great
expectations; together, on the bus
this morning en route to their
actual destiny, they had shared the
deeper excitement of Imminent
greater fulfillment.
Hammlns, who explained that he
was engaged for a small part In
one of the features now being shot
at the Amalgamated Studios, bad
proffered hid friendly guidance In
showing them the way to the
Studios—right up. In fact, to the
very desk of the man to whom
their letters of Instruction directed
them to report, Stewart Cameron.
Then Hammlns had gone off to
dress for his day's work, leaving
Betsy and Hal to their first meet
ing with Cameron, which haa al
ready been described.
Now, while they awaited on tha
figurative pins and needles tor the
return of the casting director,
something of the expectancy i!-at
is the keynote of a studio casting
lobby, that quivers on the general
air of resigned depression like an
overtone of eternal springing hope,
caught hold In their consciousness.
They began to experience twinges
of that flavor of gambling uncer
tainty which gets Into the blood of
movie workers and makes of the
moving picture Industry a "game.”
Instead of a business —a game of
Inconstant chance that bolde ft*
victims with deadly hypnotism
akin to Monte Carlo's spinning
wheels and "little white bails.”
“I hope we get good parts,”
breathed Betsy ecstatically to Hal,
forgetting her apprehensions tor a
moment.
But a sudden restlessness and
forward stir amongst the extras,
presaging the return of Cameron,
broke Into the moods of Betsy and
Hal with a chill appearance of
begging that again flattened their
confidence.
In returning toward his desk
from the door to the Inner offices.
Cameron's way lead him along a
section of the brass railing. To
ward this a score or more of the
neediest looking actors surged, like
mendicants, with hands outstretch
ed to clutch at Cameron’s and gain
bis passing attention.
What followed. Betsy and Hal
watched and heard with rather
sickened faculties. Each man or
woman bad a particular claim on
Cameron's attention to voice; each
