Disregarding the Politicians
The acts of President Roosevelt' and their resulting
effects show that there are people who know much
more about government than politicians do.
Heretofore, the policy has been for rulers to call
a gang of politicians in whose principal thoughts cen
tered around pelf for themselves, their friends, and
their parties, hence there was nothing for the [)eople
at large.
President Roosevelt left off the politcians and went
to men who had made a life study of political econo
my and the science of government. They knew the
weakness and futility of the type of government
Washington has been administering for many years.
They advised ("he "President to discard many of the
former principles and strike out on new lines, and he
did. Now we see the result —a government for the
people rather than a government for the pilferers.
Strong party politics have almost destroyed our
democracy. Mr. Roosevelt has cut them down to a
minimum. Let's force politicians to be honest or do
away with them.
More Character Needed
When a county votes to permit her people to enter
into gambling schemes, the law should direct that no
person living without the bounds of such county
should be permitted to participate in the games.
Yet they know they will draw racketeers, the scum
and riff-raff of the country to their communities to
park and squat for weeks for no other purpose than
to gull the earnings of people who will be sorry too
late.
This country certainly needs more character, truth
and honor
A Broad Statement That Is True
A [(residing judge in a Charlotte court last week
made a pretty broad statement, nevertheless perfect
ly true. The statement came after several young
sters, ranging in ages from 13 to 19 years had con
fessed their guilt in store-breaking cases. He said
"Parents are rearing civilization wreckers."
Of course, men and women generally would not
prefer to admit the truth of this statement, yet this
generation of young folks are capable of fooling fath
ers and'mothers. .It may be true that the youths of
today are no worse--probably not as bad—as their
fathers and grandfathers would have been with the
same opportunities. The trouble today is that there
are too many opportunities without any restrictions;
and we have come to the place that we do not know
where the young are nor how they are acting during
a large part of the time.
Undoubtedly the trouble with mdny young people
is that their parents are taking very little trouble to
stay with them and advise with them, and are out
seeing the sights themselves. N
At any rate it is a serious charge for a judge to
make, that is that "Parents are rearing civilization
wreckers.' And the worst thing about it is that we
can not disprove the statement.
A Great Iniquity
Why did six North Carolina counties get laws
through the General Assembly to allow gambling in
their borders? It was not because men and women
wanted to be robbed out of their money by swin
dlers; it was not because people wanted super-fun
and pleasure, because gambling offers no such things.
It was not for the purpose of improving the schools,
the homes, the churches, the roads, the virtue, the
morals, nor the intelligence of the people, because it
offers none of these advantages.
It was bcause a gang of gamblers of the country
came to North Carolina and presented a scheme to
rob honest, inexperienced, weak, and foolish people,
to certain men in these counties who do not care so
much about decency and who are willing to enter into
a combination to establish a gambling institution to
rob their neighbor? under the guise of going into the
livestock industry.
®o to a legislator and get their scheme
through. It is one of the greatest iniquities and devil
directed schemes that our people have fallen for in a
long time. ' &&&
Let the Laws Be Published
It will be a relief to the North Carolina people when
the new laws are published, because so many thing*
were done and partly done and then undone and later
partly undone by the recent legislature that very few
people know which side of the road to walk on or
which side of the bed to sleep on. Of course, the
members of the legislature know, but the common
herd does not.
Let the laws come, so the folks will know how to
behave themselves and where and when and how they
are to pay taxes.
France Demands Safeguards
It would be easier for the nations of the world to
agree on terms of peace if France was not scared.
You see, she has been burnt, and, like all others who
get burned, she is afraid of fire. She remembers those
75-mile shells that fell in Paris, and she knows the
Kaiser is not dead yet; too, she fears that Hitler is
even meaner than the Kaiser was.
The other nations will doubtless have to promise
to drag Germany off of France in case of invasion
before France ever agrees to any kind of arms limi
tation. She evidently wants peace that will protect.
Fooling the People
Some of our Raleigh correspondents whose writings
appear in the various state papers seem to be ob
sessed with the idea that it is their business to tell
the folks what to do rather than to record what the
folks are doing.
Considerable criticism has recently come from these
sources directed against the school people of the state.
Of course, we are offering no defense for the errors
school men have made, if they have made any. How
ever, we think far more of the educators of the state,
who, in most cases, have made many sacrifices for
the improvement of our state and her people, than we
do for certain politicians who have sent out shop
made propaganda against others in their own defense.
The man who stakes his life and his life's work on
education is doing a far better work than the average
iwlitician. They are just as dependable, too. They
work for less and do more, by far, than the average
official.
We see no good reason why our new state school
board should not be well represented by school men.
When it comes to tricks to fool the folks, they
can not compare with some branches of our public
affairs.
Making Advertising Pay
Aztec (N. M.) Independent-Review
J 'l'he most common question put to an editor is: "Do
you believe advertising pays?"
To answer in the affirmative is only natural for any
editor. His bread and butter is derived from the in
come received for advertising space. But to enter
into detail in an effort to convince the inquirer is an
act that is noble in purpose. So many items stand
directly in the path of an effort to explain the point
to decision that is convincing. Under the circum
stances action, instead of words, must be the factor
contributing to the positive proof of the affirmative
answer.
Advertising is an investment in a business. It is
an art that requires considerable thought and study
because of the many different forms in which it can
be used. The outstanding form of advertising is that
of using the columns of a newspaper as a medium of
reaching into the homes of buyers and prospective
customers. No other form of advertising is as sure
shot and permanent as a well-written and displayed
advertisement on the page of a newspaper. Message
in a newspaper is as permanent as the home, for it
lingers in the home after other forms of conveying
the message have been forgotten.
Any form of advertising is better than none at all.
Hut a message on a hand bill is soon destroyed, for
handbills are substance of litter that mar the appear
ance of a well-kept home. Consequently hand bills
are soon destroyed. Radio carries the message direct
ly into the home but only ears that are attentive re
ceive the message. Circulars or form letters reach
the addressee in a personal forpi, but only the ad
dressee in all probability will read the message.
Stamped messages on gifts, etc., become more a hid
den or secret code than a valuable advertising medi
um.
Advertising in a newspaper reaches every member
in a home and every person who visits that home.
When one member of a family reads a newspaper he
carefully lays it aside for some one else to read.
Every newspaper carries a message that is of import
ance to some one, and this often results in the filing
of newspapers for future reference.
People do not have a set time to read their news
pa|*rs. They can read a small part during a few idle
moments, return later and continue reading, each time
the newspaper advertisement appears once more be
fore their eyes. Newspaper advertising is a medium
that can never be excelled.
The Lucky Mr. Lea
Beaufort New
Ex-Senator Lea, of Tennessee, whose presence is
greatly desired in the North Carolina penitentiary,
must have money enough to employ some very shrewd
lawyers. Convicted a year ago or more of defrauding
a bank in Asheville of a very large sum of money and
sentenced to prison he is still at large. His success
in defeating the ends of justice must be greatly envied
by many who did not steal near as much as Lea did
and aer now behind prison walls..

Forest in Town Defrays
All Municipal Expenses
Not only does the town forest of
Ebern, Germany, pay so well that no
taxes are collected for operating the
town, but, in addition, the forest
provides a load of wood to each
householder and 60 marks, annual
dividend.
May Pay Farmer To Use
Sidedressing for Crops
With better prices for farm crops
in prospect, it may pay the North
Carolina farmer to side-dress his
crops this season with quick-acting
nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrate of soda
and other materials are cheaper in
price now than in many years.
