Progressing Backwards
No country can have both peace and prosperity
with a few lords and many peasants. No country has
ever progressed backwards so fast as our own. We
have seen almost all the wealth centered in the hand*
of a very small number of people, while the number
of dependents have grown by leaps and bounds.
What the country needs is some way to hold the
power of business and government in the hands of the
people rather than to vest all the power of business
and government in the hands of a few wealthy.
Nothing breeds communism so fast as when the
masses are forced to do all the work and the few
all the money.
And no man can tell how long the country can
stand unless its base is shifted from money to human
v ity- -,

Follow the Golden Rule
The Governor of the Virgin Islands, a United States
possession, says the school children of that country
are going to school without breakfast. They carry
a piece of sugar can or a piece of fish'for lunch.
Conditions are equally as bad among the children
of the miners of West Virginia in the Alleghany
Mountains. In China there are more than 50,000,-
000 people who are suffering the pings of hunger.
Vet we have our millions who are eating too much,
and many are wasting more than they eat. j
The Golden Rule Foundation, of 60 East Forty-
Second Street, Nw Vork City, says it will be easy for
- most people to halve two meals "some time between
now and Christmas by taking a half-price meal twice,
sending the price of the extra meal to help some child
who never gets a full meal. .
The Gulden Rule teaches us to do unto others as
we would have them do unto us. Now, fellow
who is sick and weal, from hunger wants some one to
give him food. If you ale that fellow, then you want
the other fellow to give you that you may eat.
This is a mighty good time to play the Golden Rule
game by sending the pric of a meal or two to the ad
dress given above. It will be properly used.
Watch for Shoddy Materials
In this day of strong competition, it is well enough
to watch factories, because of the danger of shoddy
goods. .. 13
We can use too much economy in buying, because
shoddy goods never pay the buyer. We need to
remember that all that glitters is not gold, and that
everything that looks good is not silk or sating. The
manufacturer owes the best quality to the trade at
this time, because his costs of labor and materials are
low.

Why Bi-Metalism Rears Its Head Again
High Point Enterprise.
The daughter of William Jennings Bryan, in Con
gress from a Florida constituency, lets it be known
that she will espouse one of her father's moat famous
issues—bit-metal ism.
For a generation or so, admirers of the late Mr.
Bryan in politics have been wont to claim that policies
he advocated have been put into effect from time to
time by those who opposed him when he advanced
them. Possible bi-metalism will succeed yet in urg
ing itself upon the nation.
Good reasons seem to exist for bi-metalism at this
time. The visible gold supply is insufficient for the
satisfactory operation of business. Less than ten
billions of it is "visible," and France and the United
Stats have the lion's share of it.
England didn't resort to silver, but she did aban
don "the gold standard under the pressure of circum
stances. Her substitute for currency based on hoard -
i ed gold was currency backed by nothing except the
pledge of th government as a going concern. Would
it not be better for the gold standard nations to recog
j nize the hampering effect of the single standard and
adopt silver?
Bi-metalism would increase the buying power of j
the Orient immensely. It would "cheapen" money j
in this country, in one sense, and increase its value in .
another. That is, interest charges probably would
advance and prices of commodities would rise—the
latter result, in effect, being the cheapening. An im
portant effect would be the relief of the strain of
many who made debts when the dollar was "cheap*
and are striving to pay them while it is high.
Impressive Lesson We Should All Learn
r J t ' ~
Sampson Independent.
The person who ventures upon the highways at
night with unlighted vehicles of any kind in this day
of speeding motor traffic is taking a gambler's chance.
And the fact that so many lose appears to have very
little effect upon others. It is not unusual, while trav
eling at night, to meet or pass vehicles, both motor
and horse-drawn, without any lights at all; and even
more frequently without proper lights. And in vio
lating this rule of safety, not only is the life of the j
one violating it endangered, but the lives of others. |
Another life was snuffed out in Sampson County '
last week because of failure to comply with the laws
applying to lights. Under the caption, "A Fatal Les
son," The Goldsboro News-Argus commented on the
accident referred to as follows:
"Death pointed with its bony fingers a lesson for
the people of the countryside when it suddenly took i
Claude Simmons, Sampson County farmer, whose un
lighted truck was run into from behind by an auto
mobile.
"What made the accident more tragic was the fact
that Simmons had stopped on the highway for only
a minute, so that he might charitably give a lift to
j three young men. »
j "The best Christmas present a family man who
1 drives roads at night can give is to make sure, starting
today, that every night he drives he has on .his vehicle
a light which can be seen from behind."
This Is No One-Wheel Depression
A building boom, suggested by some, would not
last long. This is a time when all kinds of business
wheels need to turn in unison.
A building boom would be good for the mill man,
the hardware man, the plumber, the mechanic —but
when the building is completed, who can rent k?
There are thousands upon thousands of houses vacantu
in the country today, and many that are occupied are
bringing in no income. They are occupied by free
tenants, who protect the property as housekeepers.
, A big building program to bring prosperity would
be only temporary, and at the end would leave us
where we are now.
When the mill, the field, the factory, the mine, the
merchant, and the banker all begin to move things,
then business will pick up.
This depression is so deep that it can not be pulled
out by one wheel. All the people will have to get be
hind it and pull together with all their might.
