FOR COMMISSIONER
Editor of The Enterprise,
Sinle the time for the county pri
mary is almost here, I feel It impor
> tant that the people should begin to
j think fo rthemselves, who they want
I to serve them for ha coming two
| years. „
I While the office of county commis
sioner is generally considered a very
small office, 1 consider it a very im
portant one and feel that weshoulu
get men who know the needs of the
people to fill it. -
I have in mind such a man in the
person of Mr. S. E. Hardison of Wil
liams township. He is a man of the
people and is one who knows not only
theirneeds übt their ability alio. I
hope the voters of Martin county will
nominate him at the coming Demo
cratic primary to fill the office of eoun
ty commissioner for tre next term.
Yours truly,
JAMES R. TIRE.

MORALS: A DEFINITION
OF WHAT THEY ARE
Morals are the standard of social
conduct. All immoral conduct is anti
social and all anti-social conduct h>
immoral. Any act which inflicts need
less injury upon a fellow creature is
immoral; it may at first seem insuf
ficient, but it will be found to read,
high enough and deep enough to covei
all true morality. For there is hard
ly any act man can perform which
does not affect a fellow creature,
tor instance: if a man takes to drink
he injures others a* well as himself,
lie has become a less agreeable and a
less useful member of society; he may
even become a danger or burden to
his fellows.
Speaking morally, a man belongs
not onyl to himself, but also to the
whole human race. True morals aiv
all founded on the rule that it Lt»
wrong to cause needless injury to an>
fellow creature. The teachings ol
most great moralists, of all times and
nations, go to prove it. For instance:
Lao Txe, the Chinese moralist, said.
"What you do not want done to youi
self, then do not do to others." He
also said: "Benevolence is to be in
ones most inward heart in sympathy
with all things—to love all men and
to allow no selfish thoughts.
The same kind of teaching is found
in Buddhist books. "Since even ani
mals can live together i nniutual rev
erence, confidence and courtosy, much
more should you, Oh Brethren. St
let your light shine foith thai you
may be seen to dwell in like niunnei
together.
The Hebrew moralist often sounded
the samo note. In Leviticus we find:
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self." In Proverbs: "If tiiine enem>
be hungry give him bread to eat.."
In the Talmud it is written: "Do
not unto others that which :t would
be disagreeable to you to suffer your
self; that is the main part o{ the
law."
We have the same idea expressed
by Christ: "All tilings therefore whut
soever ye would thut men chould ui
unto you, even do yw also unto ohom
for this ia the law of the prophets"
Socrates said: "Act towards others
as you desire oUrn to act toward#
you." -r
ilut even when the moralists did
notlay down the Golden Kulo they
taught that the causes of sin and suf
fering was selfishness and they spoke
stiongly against self-pity and sell
love and aelf-aggraudisement.
What i the lesson of Buddha 7 Bud
dha went out into the world to ccarci.
pt the cause of human sin and nor
/ow. He found that the cas to be self
indulgence and the cute to be sell
conquest. The cause of pain he said,
"is desire." The moral is that sel
fishness is bad and unselfUhnes it
good. And this moral is backed by
the almost universal practice of all
men in all ages and of ell races ii
testing the virtue or the valve of an;
persons conduct. In no case thall w«
find a or woman honored t*
praised by man when his conduct i.
believed to be selfflsh. It is alwayt
unselfishness that men scorn. It it
always self-sacrilce that they admire.
This shows us that deep in the uni
versal heart the root idea of morality
is social service.
Selfishness has come to be called
bad because it Injures the many with
out benefitting the one. Uiuulfiahneju
has come to be called good becau
it brings benefit and pleasure to one
and all. It is twice bless'd: It bles
seth him that fatves and him thai
takes.
As Marcus Aurelius expresses it:
"that which is not for the interest o 1
the whole swarm is not for the inter
est of a single bee."—Contributed.

0. MAX GARDNER
PROVES HIS CALIBRE
Cleveland Star.
The Democratic papers of the state
are generously commending the loft)
unselfish announcement of «ur fellow
townsman Max Gardner that he be
lieves "political equity entitles East
em North Carolina to the next nom
ination for governor." this statement
is bound be become of historic inter
est in the state.
There is no thinking man or womun
in North Carolina who doea not know
that if Max Gardner had entered the
race as Governor Morrison's succes
sor that he would have entered wil
brilliant prospects for success: in the
first place, he has a tremendous fol
lowing of intensely loyal, devoted and
fighting friends, who enthusiastically
follow him with a seal and spirit rare
ly known even in politics. In the sec
ond place Gardner's attitude when de
feated by a email majority in 192u
was superb; he was heard to utter no
complaint, but submitted without sulk
ing to the mandates of nis party enu
pllnged with coursge and confidence
into the campaign of his successfu.
opponent and made oves fifty speelhes
in behalf of Governor Morrison's elec
tion. This act alone established Gard
ner in the minds and hearts of North
Carolina as a man of gubernatorial
calibre, but his recent convention
statedent reveals the reason why
Gardner has oore personal friends
than any dan in the state.
To our minds however his announce
ment which puts him in the very front
rank of North Caroline's democracy
moans more to the futune of the Dem
ocratic party in North Carolina than
it means to Max Gardner for the rea
son, if Gardner had marshalled his
forces, backed by the splendid woman
hood of the state, for whom he stood
and suffered in 1920, and launched the
fight for nomination in 1924, it might
have broken and ruptured the Demo
cratic party. The party cannot stand
many campaigns such aa it encounter
ed in 1920.
Of course the peopleof Cleveland
county where Max Gardner was born
and reared and loved and served are
and have been ambitious for his elec
tion as govern i of North Carolina,
but his friends are just aa happy in
the knowledge that our son has the
confidence, love and devotion of Non
Carolina in full measure, and that ii
he lives no power or influence on
earth can keep hip from becoming in
1928, Governor by the biggest major
ity in the state's history.
