Four Good Suggestions
The conference of Western governors, recently held
in lowa, proposed things which should commend them
selves to the people of the country.
Tariff changes were suggested--a thing that is ser
iously needed for the purpose of giving equal benefits
to all classes of people and business. »•
Currency expansion was also suggested -a thing
which we will have to come to, or we will never be
able to pay our debts.
Other recommendations included a moratorium on
farm debts and orderly marketing of farm crops.
These {our suggestions will go a long way toward
getting this county on its feet if they are carried out.
Every voter should go to his Congressman before
he;votes,and demand such of these reforms as require
congressional action.
State Institutions Under Fire
Our State University and the North Carolina Col
lege for Women seem to be under fire on account of
jR-rmitting certain lecturers, call "philosophers," and
"scientists," to address the boys and girls of those
institutions, and for. the use of certain books in the
.courses of study
We are not well enough versed in those fields to
offer criticism, and, besides, we are living in a day
when it is rather dangerous for a jierson to express
himself lest he be called a fool. No doubt we have
held to many old traditions that may have held us
back in our march of progress.
On the other hand, lecturers of the type mentioned
in the complaints will prove far more dangerous than
any of the so-called "old fogey" fool ideas that civ
ilization has been guided by for thousands of years.
The principles taught by the Nazarene have promoted
honor, truth, virtue, peace, charity, love, service and
unselfishness—all that is good in life'.
Now comes along a new type of men that upset
all these teachings and say that Jesus Christ's teach
ings are antiquated, too old and dull for a progres
sive age, that we need more privileges, to do as we
((lease; that we ought to drop virtue and substitute
free love, trial marriages, and modern thought, which
frees us .from obligations to foljow the Chrisj and
His teachings.
Whether the accusations charged against the lectur
ers in these institutions are true or Hot, vie do flot
such ideas may bring sorrow, shame, and decay in
our civilization. We fear to trust any flighty fellow
who suddenly discovers so much more than all the
generations of the past, and we fear the truth of
statements made by such fellows. Most pf them have
to discount Christ and put Him aside before they can
find a starting point.
We believe iti and respect true science, which i 9
constantly unveiling the mysteries of this world and
all lfe therein. It is doubtless God's purpose to have
man draw closer and closer to Him. Such scientific
thought and discoveries have never tended to lower
the principles of love, truth, honor, and virtue of the
human family. But when it comes to some agnostic
coming before man claiming to know something new,
yet discounting the priciples which have been the basis
of strength upon which men and nations have safely
st»od through milleniums, we fear their leadership.
There are very few fathers and mothers sending,
thir sons and daughters to school these days who
would have their simple faith destroyed and a new
order of life instilled in them.
Constitution Week
~ This is being observed as Constitution Week through
out the United States. The American Bar Associa
tion has put on a campaign in which a broader knowl
edge and a greater respect and obedence to
the Constitution is urged.
It is regarded as a serious handicap tol good gov
ernment, peace, and happiness when people disregard
the Constitution of the state and nation, both of
which have been born from long experience of pure
hearts, filled with love and honest desire to make the
path of life easy and safe for the feet and hjarts of
own.
Every school child ought to read the constitution
of his state and the nation, and then obey them. They
were devised for the safety of the person and prop
erty of us all, from the smallest to the largest.

Alcohol Can Not Be a Safe Beverage
In the scramble for votes the politicians have lis
tened to the drum beaters of the liquor traffic. They
have forgotten the influence and value of soberness and
gone grappling for votes.
It is indeed a pitiable state of affairs when the
-voice of the rabble drowns out the cries of women
and children who are praying for sober husbands and
fathers. The worst feature about it is that every poli
tician will suggest some method of respectability for
he handling of liquor. They will tell you how they
deplore the idea of the saloon, yet they are friends
of the same alcohol that has all to do with the dis
respect and disgrace of the barroom.
Everybody knows that when liquor is taken out of
a saloon, it becomes at once a place where women
and gentlemen may visit without losing their self
respect.
Now, we have two candidates for the presidency
who want state's rights and believe in the national
government keeping its hand off. Yet they would
make the public believe there is no danger of tfie old
bar returning. ,
No man of serious mind believes for a moment
that when liquor is given the power to dictate the
sales policies of alcohol that there will be no bar
rooms.,, Perhaps some state will not permit such meth
ods, but in most states the places of liquor sales will
outshine all others to be founf in the cities. There
■m « >
will be music to enchant, pictures to suggest—an idea
of which we find at the movie palaces. They will have
their sobering rooms, and provision will be made for
their scarlet women. Everything will be used to at
tract trade for the liquor barons, without regard, in
most cates, for morals and decency.
Proponents of the change of course argue that these
things can not be, because of police protection. This
is a false promise, however, because every person who
knows anything about the liquor traffic knows that
it is never satisfied until it owns and controls the
|)olice forces. When we had bars in the days of the
|>ast they dictated the policies of the politics of most
towns and handled most of the policemen just as they
did their other hirelings. And the police patrolled
these illegal haunts and protected them.
Let people have all the saloons they want, but keep
alcohol out of them—there is where the danger lies.
And show us the man who profits by drinking.
No man can make alcohol a safe beverage, and the
man who says he can devise a safe method of handling
it is more than human.
T/ie West and the South
Hoover is trying to capture the west and Roosevelt
is hammering after the north. We would like to see
Mr. Roosevelt fight more for the west and give less
attention to the north. He can not carry Vermont,
but he can carry California. This nation needs a
closer cooperation between the south and west. The
north for many years has been whipping them both.
Now, when we join forces, they can' do it.
Just as long as the other parts of the country de
l»end on the north for bread, they will get a stone.
Hoover's Defense
President Hoover reports that there were many
criminals in the Bonus Army recently driven out of
Washington. Of course, this report is made in de
fense of his action in putting the army oft the run.
However, there is no doubt but that many of thein
were pretty common fellows and probably some of
them were criminals. Certainly, the rank and file of
the world war veterans did not approve of the action
of the marchers. —-
Watch Out for Forest Fires —w
With the advent of the hunting season and the in
creasing drought, the danger of forest fires becomes
increasingly great. Every person entering the woods
should be very careful about smoking and building
fires. The proper precaution will save land owners
many thousands of dollars. '■
The laws are pretty strict on woods burning, and
every man is responsible for his carelessness as well
as deliberations. Every person should be careful with
fire. What it burns is a total loss.
Leave the Farmer Alone
The politicians are always howling about the con
dition of the poor farmer —and especially is this so
along about election time.
All that the farmers want is for the politicians and
their friends, the trusts and combines, to stop riding
them.
The only trouble with the farmer is that these
cruel combination of manipulating trusts and unfaith
ful politicians have ri(l3cn him so long that his back
is sore. That is why he is kicking.
Get off of the farmer and let him vote like he pleases.
He will be all right. > „
Mistakes
The Churchman.
An editor, -incommenting upon the fact that news
papers sometimes make mistakes in their columns,
L: ys he made some in his issue and a good subscriber
tcld him all about it. . He goes on tp relate that the
same day there was a letter in h : s post office box
t u at did not belong to him; he called for No. 98 on
the telephone and got 198; he asked for a spool of
No. 50 thread and got No. 60; he got his milk bill
and there was a mistake of 10 cents in his favor; he
frit sick and the doctor said he was eating too much
r..a*t when he hadn't tasted meat for two months;
tiic garage man said the jitney was missing because
it reeded a new timer, and be cleaned a spark plug
and it has run fine «very since. Yes; newspapers
make mistakes—and so do other folks.
