Tuesday, March 13, 1928 Better English Week Better English Week is giving the school children of the town plenty of amusement —or, perhaps we had better say, excitement. It is said that no language on earth is so mutilated, by both tongue and pen, as the English. It seems to have more variations than most languages, which may be in part the cause of so many mistakes. Yet "American smartness" has much to do with our many harsh and incorrect expressions. We are a very care less people in our expression, and easily fall into the habit of bad usage and improper expressions. Better English Week is a campaign for the pur pose of making the student think and select the best word to use to convey his ideas, and to use his words in the right way. Every student in the school was given a card Monday morning which he loses if caught using bad English by a fejlow' student. The student making the correction gets the card and adds it to his own. This will be a fine way for thi* student to check up on himself. Not o(fly will it mean that he will learn more, but it will cause hin) to use that which he has to a better purpose.

Why ! should not the welfare department take these chil | dren and place them in homes where they nyill have | a chance in life? And place these child mothers in | some colony where they may get some chance at mor tal uplift. There seems to be a chance to help in each | cast, since the State has made some faint effort to J 1 >etter the conditions of fallen women. And, too, we have a few big-hearted people in the State who are I maintaining a home for children. So far as the men who have been, and are now, | hanging around this home, with liquor and in drunken revelry, to debauch girls who have had no chance in j life, the State has plenty of places for them in the vari ! ous prisons it maintains for just the fellows who ruin I the lives of 13-year-old girls. Let the welfare officer and the solicitor go to the bat.. Unjust Discrimination a , " ■ s - " Many of (he school children of the county, in the six-months' districts, are being taken out of the eight months schools this week and next. It seems rather unfair for one man's child to have only six months in school when his neighbor's child has eight months. The barrier should be removed that keeps any child out of school while a neighbor's child, with whom he will have to compete in hijUife's work, is allowed a longer term. The eight-months school term should be placed within the reach of every child, no matter where he lives. An Indictment Against the Whole Republican Party Secretary Tall gave the nation's richest pil lands to Sinclair; Sinclair paid over a part of the profits to Will Hayes to spend in the election of Calvin Soolidge in 1924. Now, why is not that sufficient evidence to convict the Republican party? The worst thing a' J out it seems to have been that every one of those greedy Republicans in the "high up councils grabbed this corruption fund with great relish; except old Andy Mellon. He evidently told the committee that he was making plenty out of his aluminum and other Republican-protected trusts, without dirtying his hands up with stolen oil. Some people seem to think that Senator Walsh is smoking the Republicans out of their holes, but that i- wrong; he is heating them so hot they are afraid the boiler is going to burst; they are not crawling out to rest their eyes, they are running to save their scalps. " The country will be blessed if Will Hayes, the ex- Postmaster General, and the hundred who received the corrupt fund to buy the J°°hdge election, are jailed. Washington has evidently been a stinking place with all the corruption that has existed there. and being the .same land conveyed to; [•Henry Carson, by William Jones, and j wife, by dted dated May 14th, 1912, and recorded in book K-f, .it page 545, Martin County public registry. 2d tract: Containing four and ot>e- j half acres, and being- the same laud | conveyed to Henry Carson by William !
