1 Cause for Alarm
Just what we (eared. Mr. Henry Burke, the fig
uring man in the Budget Bureau, predicts that col
lege attendance has pfesaed its peak
Former Governor McLean advanced the idea that
the proper thing to do in our State Colleges was to !
raise the charges and keep so many from attending, j
Mr. Burke seems* to point with pride to the fact
that the University had a smaller enrollment this year
than last and that the summer, school enrollment in
East Carolina Teachers' College, at Greenville, de
creased from VOO last year to 000 this year.
It is thought that there is getting to be too many
educated people in North Carolina to suit some peo
ple and some interests. Educated people can not be
kicked around like ignorant [ieople, and with large
numbers of college-educated men,and women there is
more independent thought than when there are only
enough educated to hold the best jobs.
The statement of Mr Burke, coupled with the ac
tion of the last legislature in cutting out hundreds ol
teachers in the country and city schools is cause for
alarm. The masses of the people seem willing to sac
rifice education for pleasure, and those who pay large
taxes and employ many hands apparently prefer un
educated labor—constituting one of the greatest dan
gers to our liberty and prosperity.
When North Carolina finds itself with only plough
educated people to hold the offices and act as fore
men of jobs, the people will mourn.
A Valuable Service
The State Department of Agriculture has just is
sued the May Bulletin, which gives the analyses of
fertilizers for the spring season of the present year.
- The simples analyzed were taken promiscuously aft
er having been shi|>ped. and doubtless gave a fair
average of the grades of fertilizers sold to North Car
" olina farmers by hundreds of factories throughout the
country.
Of the 7SO samples taken from almost every sec
tion of the State, more than 90 per cent were found
to contain a higher value than tlie manufacturers
claimed for it; a few fell'just a few points below the
guaranteed analyses.
The State is doing no work of greater importance
in any of its branches of service than through the
Department of Agriculture; and our laws governing
tbe manufacture and sale of fertilizers are saving the
people of the State millions of dollars annually because
they safeguard the farmer against spurious goods that
would certainly be put on the market by some manu
facturers if we had no laws to restrain them.
Our people should not lose sight of the work of our
agricultural department and should see that its pres
ent high efficiency is maintained.

Labor in the Saddle
Her* is hoping that the British Labor Party sue
teeds well. Up to now labor has never teemed to
have sense enough to form a party and maintain it.
Politicians generally get hold of their leaders and twist
them around so that they keep none of their purposes
nor promises for long.
There seems to be some hope now in the British
Labor Party, with its new leadership; It may give
the world some valuable lessons in real statesman
ship. At least it is backing some real principles.
Why Immorality Increases .
For the increase in immorality, Judge Midyette in
his charge to the grand jury blamed lack of proper
i haperonage of the young people. The word "chap
erone ' is no in our dictionary. Girls instead
of being at home in the evenings by 9 or 10 o'clock,
are out on the roads in automobiles without chaper
ones, coming in at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. While
out, |>erha|>t> u blockad • still or a blin d tiger is visit
ed. The d,i er buy a little liquor and both boy and
girl tr.ke a drink. The only requirement, suggested
the judge, concerning this night prowling is that the
parents be not awakened when the young folks go in
Smitkfirld Herald.

Cause for Rejoicing
America'^..soberest Fourth of July was celebrated
last week There were fewer deaths from drowning,
autoing, and fireworks than for many years, one of
the best proofs of soberness and saneness.
It gives ground for general rejoicing when people
are more careful with themselves and more consider
ate of others.
Hunting Out of Season
Considerable shooting has been reported in the
Roanoke River swamjjs recently. This is the season
that folks used to kill squirrels before the laws pro
hibited it. • _—„
It is hard to account for or understand why people
would be shooting any kind of game now, as the law
forbids killing all game and wild fowl at this season.
The game law is the only thing that will prevent the
complete extermination of game in this country, and
unless people obey that law, it will do no good.
Four Dogs and An Automobile
One of/the 4i»t takers of Martin County found one
of the colored citizens of his township with an inter
esting list of property.
The list taker had run down the long list of items,
such as horses, cattle, hogs, money, tools, corn, meat,
and other things generally needed in the family, but
found the negro had nothing. He then struck the
household and kitchen furniture .section, but found
no items. When asked whether he had a bed to sleep
on, the negro answered, "No, boss; nothing but a
wooden bunk.'' Then he said they had no stove to
cook on. The list taker then asked about clothing,
and wlis told the overall suit he was wearing was all
he had and that his wife had but one dress.
The list taker said he began to think "the side was
odt," and he would find nothing whatever to tax un
til he inquired if he had an automobile. The negro
answered "Yes, sir; boss;" that it was worth between
S3OO and S4OO. The list taker then noticed one more
item in the list and asked if he had a dog. The an
swer came swiftly, "Yes, sir; four."
Now, if an automobile and a bunch of dogs full
of fleas can't make a ha|>py family, then what can
produce happiness in some families?
This family could have very well cut down on their
dogs and given room for a few chickens or a pig or
two.
I This is truly a dog-and-car age.
Peace vs. The Tariff

America can make no progress toward giving the
world peace so long as Congress is passing tariff laws
unfavorable and unfair to everybody in the world
except a few rich folks in the United States.

Then the hum of business sings a song of profit and wealth.

Any appraisal which fails to include the intangible asset —
