Friday, April 28, 1933 Regulating the Sale of Beer Beer must be a mighty dangerous thinn- At least our legislators must think so. They have turned it loose on the public, and now they are acting about it just as they would if a menagarie was suddenly opened and all the animals let loose. They know the danger, and so are trying to tie it in places where it will not trouble folks. They know that it is just as dangerous in a community, to men, women, and children, as a man-eating tiger would be. Father and mother can drink all the beer they want, but son and daughter can not. \ou can sell it around any kind of corner or in any kind of place, except a church or school. So far as we know, the devil can not stand the influence of the church, and every body knows beer or any other kind of alcohol will destroy a school. After all. there is just a slight ray of reason to thank our legislators for trying to place a little re striction on the evil of alcohol., I hey are like old Judas; they have betrayed a great principle by loos ing alcohol, and now they art slightly penitent and are trying to minimize the danger by -caging as many of the dangerous animals as they can. The liquor legislation in the nation, so far, has been sponsored, outlined, and passed by the powerful in fluence of a few very wealthy lieer barons, who have to make money from stupid men. just one purpose- Senator Reed':. Futile Plea Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, is asking the people of the country to flood Congress with telegrams ask ing the defeat of the Roosevelt inflation program. Now, Senator, you don't know your stuff. The people at large do not want to defeat inflation. 1 hey want to defeat you. Mills, and Mellon, and let the country get fair play and honest government. The people know you and your gang, Mr. Reed. They know its you, and your fellows, who have robbed them so long. They are tired of you and they are going to wire their president and Congress men to stand pat against you and utterly rout your kind of government from its baneful influence over free and fair government. Reserve Banks Partly To Blame The Federal Reserve Banks were, to a great exente, responsible for the financial collapse which recently took place in this country. They went out of the banking business in a large measure and discarded the usual functions of service they were supposed to render, devoting their atten tion to the bond business. For instance, the Richmond branch of the Federal Reserve cut its discounts in half and went into the bond business, increasing its holding of United States securities by per cent, which made it almost impossible for member banks to get accommodation on any kind of security, although the member banks had largely increased their de|x>sits with that branch. This is further proof that our Government should take over and handle its entire money system and not delegate the power to outsiders. A False Barometer W are entirely too prone to look at the stock mar ket as both the barometer and the thermometer of business—which, up to now, has never brought pros perity to any except a few lucky gamblers. For it is at best only the ideas of guessing gam blers; and, in most cases, they are basing their guesses on things that they are totally ignorant about. We are not going to have any prosperity that will be worth counting until the people at large can make enough to eat and wear a little left over to pay on their big interest and debts. Poverty Doing Us Good The preacher who said poverty was driving people to crime may have been right to some extent, but when we see fewer offenses coming up in th, courts it would seam that crime it diminishing. It is rather indicative that more crime has been caused by pros perity than has been caused by adversity. ' And every indication points to the fact that our ft—ri»| weakness is increasing our moral strength. Poverty keeps people near home generally, and for that reason they have less opportunity than when they roam on a wide range. We rather think our poverty is doing us good. Government By Minority There has been lots of bad talk during the years past about how our banking business has been handled by the Corporation Commission. And we feel that since we have seen the acts of the present banking management, the old Corporation Commission is due an apology. Now comes the unkindest cut of all. The banks that have not been able to reopen since the holiday, under the Roosevelt plan, are trying to get a law through our General Assembly to confiscate the money of their depositors and issue them stock for it, pro vided one-third of the depositors petition for such a course of procedure. To what extent or what per centage of any deposit might be used for stock we do not know. The plan looks very much like con fiscation of the property of a majority by a minority vote. It certainly would be government by a mi nority. False Economy Our government should not cut out the little a mount it is spending for agriculture and home eco nomic teachers. It is only a small sum, compara tively speaking, and probably produces more value per dollar spent than any other schooling we are getting from our tax dollars. Our own State legislature is in the act of spending $50,000 of the State's money to enlarge a ball park at Raleigh, but are growling and snapping about econ omy and cutting everything possible. If our state cuts out our few agricultural teachers and build college playgrounds at the same time, well, we will feel that we are not thinking wisely. The Influence ol the Dollar There have been many high prices paid for a seal on the New York £tock Exchange, sometimes as much as a quarter of a million dollars. While we have no proof and are only making this statement based on our own suspicion, it appears that seats in the Congress are able to demand higher prices than at any time in our whole history. There is evidently large quantities of corrupt money lurking around Washington, and it is generally thought that there are a lot of very hungry politicians in and around Congress who may be weak enough to think that the people will forget before another election, or perhaps they are bold enough to think they will be able to explain things away. One thing we must all concede and that is that a few million dollars has a lot of influence, either at Washington or in Raleigh. Speed in Falling h'euli villc Review. If one should fall from an airplane or balloon at a height however great, his velocity would never ex ceed 118 miles an hour at any point before reaching the earth, according to the conclusions of the Army Air Service, as a result of experiments made with dummies. This is contrary to the belief formerly held by most persons that a body continually increased its speed when falling from any great distance. The fact is that this rapid increase of speed in the case of a body similar to that of a man continues only until it has fallen about 1,200 feet, after which it maintains a constant rate, due to the resistance of the air. This discovery also explodes the theory that a per son falling from a great height would lose conscious ness and |>erhaps be dead before striking the ground, for it is well known that aviators have driven their planes at sj>eeds of more than 350 miles an hour on a straightaway course, and at much greater velocities when diving to make an "outside loop." The knowledge that falling speed is not of much practical benefit to one who falls from a great height, however, for the 118 miles an hour possible of attain ment is quite sufficient to effectively put him out of business when he strikes the earth. Youth and Crime Winston-Salem Journal During the first three months of 1933 the United State Bureau of Investigation examined 80,735 arrest records, as evidenced by the finger-print cards receiv ed by its identification division. The distribution of arrests according to age groups has been fairly con stant in figures compiled since February, 1932, In the past the number of persons arrested who were 19 years of age has exceeded the number arrested for any other age group and the same is true for the first quarter of 1933, taken as a unit. Of the total number of persons arrested for auto theft, 45.8 per cent were under 21 years of age; bur glary, 38.8 per cent; robbery, 27.9; rape, 26.7; lar ceny, 26.4. These figures show that youth leans to ward automobile thefts and burglary, with a far great er predilectioh for the former offense. Persons under 25 years of age constitute 40 per cent of those whose arrest records were examined, and persons between 20 and 29 years of age accountd for approximatly 19 per cent of the total number arrest ed. These facts indicate that youth is having a hard time getting settled and attached to the social order. Society needs to do vastly more than hold up its hands in an attitude of alarm. It should address itself in telligently and energetically to the problem of youth and learn how to help young men and young women in the all-important project of taking their placet as constructive members of the social order.

An actual close-up of the whale can be obtained by visiting the exhibition near the depot when it arrives in the city. It will be here next Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. LOWER COTTON ACREAGE THIS YEAR ADVISED Regardless of Farm Bill, Acreage Should Be Reduced While North Carolina farmers await the passage of the Farm Relief Bill to settle many of the difficulties in re gard to cotton growing, it should be kept in mind that this bill is not to guarantee a better price for cotton but is to encourage smaller acreage so that a better price might be secured for that cotton which is produced. "A study of the available figures shows that the supply of American cotton on hand was reduced "but lit tle during the first seven months of the fiscal year 1932-33, and if the ex-, perience of past years indicates what will happen this year, the rate of tak-. ings will slow up considerably from | now until, August J," says J, I'. Cris-J well, extension farm economist at State College. "Regardless of the out come of the present /farm relief bill, growers will make a serious mistake in not reducing the acreage this sea son. This is absolutely necessary be fore better prices can be expected." Criswell points out that the supply of American cotton on hand last Aug ust 1 was 13,000,000 bales and the last ginning report on March 1 show ed a production of 12,994,000 bales last season. This means that the supply for the present season is about 20 million bales. It is estimated that not over 13,000,000 bales will be consumed this year and so the grower will face a supply of 13,000,000 bales left over when he begins to market the 1933 crop. In other words, the market could do without the 1933 crop very well. Therefore, if North Carolina cot ton growers want to work in harmony with the new farm relief bill, they will reduce the acreage this season. To do »o is not only wise but.jiecessary if better prices are to be secured, Cris well says. IN MEMORIAM I loved my mother, Ida Emily Hines (who departed this life August 14, 1904) living, and 1 love her mem ory dead, because: She carried me under her heart; me before 1 was l>ofn; Took God's hand in hers and walked through the valley and the shadows of death that I might live; Bathed me when 1 was helpless; Clothed me when 1 was naked; Gave me warm milk from her own body when I was hungry; Rocked me to sleep when 1 was weary; Pillowed me on pillows softer than down and sang to me in the voice of an angel; Held my hand when 1 learned to walk, Nursed me when 1 was sick, Suffered with my sorrow; Laughed with my joy; Glowed with my triumphs—and while I knelt at her side taught my lips to pray. Through all the days of my youth she gave me strength for my weakness, courage for my despair, and hope to fill a hopeless heart: Was loyal when others failed; Was true when tried by fire; Was my friend when other friends were gone; Now Is the Time I FIRESTONE TIRES I NEW TIRES BEFORE PRICES GO UP!
