Poor Thinking and Foolish Practices
We are by no means criticizing our government, na
tional or state, nor our school system; yet we would
like to point out one very important thing that the
public has almost abandoned, and a thing far more
important than many things that we are spending
large sum» and wasting much valuable time in doing.
We are spending huge sums to keep hundreds of
thousand* of young men encamped around timber
woods—mostly the property of big concerns, bought
cheaply—and plowing a few streaks through the woods
that will count for nothing when the big fires and
strong winds come. And. incidentally, did you see
where 40 of these fire fighters were burned to death
over in a Western State last week, because they did
not know how to handle a woods fire?
We don't object to the government spending money
this way, but suppose the government would put one
tenth as much money in Boy Scouting as it is paying
to these young adventurers. Is it not probable that
it wuold do 10 times as much good?
And then, we notice every little community or
neighborhood can sup|xirt baseball, football, and ap
parently everything else they want, but when it comes
to finding a good honorable place to put their 12 to
16 year old boys to teach them an hour a week of the
real fundamentals of service, honor, truth, and the
things that will always be an asset in the develop
ment of a true 'iff, we can neither find the funds, the
time, nor the interest; although Scout training does
more to modify and properly balance the life of boys
than any other single activitiy known in the world
today.
A high school will spend more on one football game
than a Boy Scout troop will cost in a year, and three
carloads of fellows will spend more to see one game
than a Boy Scout camp will cost in a year.
The American people are apparently doing a lot of
poor thinking and much foolish practicing.
No; we will not criticize. It is not popular, and
we all know it is out of date to do anything that is
not popular.
A Long-Delayed Task
At last the United States has started on a task that
has been neglected too long President Roosevelt
has been corres|x>nding with the head of the Russian
Soviet government, and it now looks as if formal bus
iness relations will soon exist between our 125,000,000
Americans and 100.000.000 Russians.
l"or a number of years, we have called the Russians
the dangerous "Reds," and wanted to keep our folks
a long way from them, for fear they would catch the
Soviet fever. However, when President Roosevelt
came into office he found that the United States had
better turn red too, or the whole nation would turn
pale from starvation.
We are handling things just a bit differently from
the way Russia did. They killed their rulers the first
thing and overthrew the fellows that were strangling
them—the same type as our own Wall Street fel
lows—and then set up a new form of government with
untried and inexperienced officials; and we must ad
mit that they have succeeded in a wonderful way. No
history records more marvelous national success than
that which Russia has made in a single decade.
This nation has chosen a different method. Our
President took the lead in balancing things, whereby
every phase of business and every type of citizenship
might share equitably in a due proportion to the labor
they perform so that the peasant would not have to
overwork nor be underfed to exist. Nor could the
millionaire multiply his millions without a service to
humanity.
America is today rapidly forging forward under a
system fully as socialistic as that existing in Russia,
with the result that the man who works is getting
more, and the financial manipulator is getting leas.
Czar ism in Russia hated socialism. They were
wrong and their star faded from iron-handed power
and privilege and the peasants rose out of pits of dark
ness and have been permitted to view the twinkling
stars of liberty.
The only reason the United States beat Ruaaia in
reforming its government was because we had educa
tion, while Russia did not.
President Roosevelt will do one of his very best
works in putting America and Ruaaia on a baste at
friendly national relations.
A Big Man Falls Down
Another proof that the so-called big men of the
country are not big men waa demonstrated recentlyy
when Mr. Wiggins, the ex-president of the great Chase
National Bank, was unable to do a simple problem in
arithmetic for Ferdinand Pecora, Senate investiga
tor, and missed the answer by a million.
It simply shows that what we have heretofore called
our big men were those who knew very little more than
how to rule Congressmen or legislatros, or those .who
knew how to manipulate gambling schemes and extort
from an unsuspecting and ignorant public their hard
eared savings.
Investigations are begining to show that the fellows
whom we regarded as the big ones and the financial
leaders who knew things and were worthy of trust,
were the biggest crooks, greatest grafters, and down
right thieves in the country. See the results of the
Morgan investigation, the Mitchell investigation, the
National City and Chase National investigations, and
you will find much of the cause for our present dis
tressing dilemma.
We need to put a check on the size of salaries and
the size of fortunes. When a man or a combination
of men get enough, take them out of business and let
somebody else come in. No man will get too much
if he is honest and treats his fellowman and his coun
try fairly.
Great wealth for one men nearly always means dire
|K)verty for many men
"A Good Name—"
That young man Hawley, a mail carrier of Wilson,
made the mistake of his life when he robbed himself
of Uncle Sam's money. Trying to get rich quick was
his downfall. If he had stuck strictly to his job he
would have established a character that would have
stood in the estimation of men and under the judg
ment of God. Yet, like so many others, he thought
he would be able to successfully commit two grave
crimes and get rich quickly, and he chose to slaughter
his own character. So he now stands up before his
Maker and fellow creatures a poor and a disgraced
man.
It is only further proof that a good name is far
better than great riches.
Woodrow Wilson Great Mistake
So far as we know, Woodrow Wilson's biggest mis
take in life was in the appointment as dollar-ayear
men some of the captains of business and wizards in
finace, who were men with far more knowledge of how
to take advantage of competitors and crush them and
who no doubt used the government for securing big
orders of every and ail kinds of materials at exorbi
tant prices. If President Wilson had conscripted the
factories of the wealthy to manufacture war muni
tions, just as the young men of the country were con
scripted to go forward in the battle lines, and had
kept our dollar-a-year men away from every phase
of the government's affairs, he would have saved bil
lions.
President Roosevelt will make even a larger mis
take if he fails to ,kick the financial captains away
from their old policy of dictating our financial affairs.
They are more dangerous to the peace and prosperity
of the nation than a pack of ravenous wolves would
be the life of a suckling child.
People Haven't Changed
Charles Parker in the News and Observer.
The most dubious prospects blossomed into the most
successful fair in history. A pair of practical show
men have made some money for the State—and them
selves—out of a proposition that State officials could
think of only in terms of deficits. The showmen placed
em[>hasis upon midway and ballyhoo. They proved
that crowds big enough to make fairs profitable aren't
attracted by prize boars and Aunt Mary's fruit cake.
There were, as many boars and cakes at their fair as
others which flopped. But there were more and barer
girls on the midway and in the revues, and the before
hand ballyhoo was spicier. There were more shows
and less ceremonies. There were auto races and dare
devil build-ups. And don't overlook the public wed
ding and the baby parade.
People haven't changed much, but the fair has.
The Way '>/ the Transgressor
' "
Beaufort News.
Miss Lola Harwood, it appears, has paid back to
the Stale with interest the money she embezzled while
she was an employee of the State Highway Depart
ment. The amount was about $5,000. Miss Har
wood and her father, Judge Harwood, served terms in
the penitentiary as a result of this crime. The judge
foolishly undertook to falsify records, got caught, and
landed in prison. Yielding to the temptation to get
some money that did not belong to her, this young
woman ruined her own future and that of her father.
Embezzlement has grown to be a popular crime in
recent years. It has always been practiced more or
less, but seems to be more prevalent during the past
few years than ever before. Just a few days ago a
man in Salisbury was charged with having embezzled
a large sum of money which a wealthy woman there
had willed to a church. Embezzlers steal from
churches, widows, and orphans or anywhere else they
can get it. They are no respecters of persons. Em
bezzlers are net the kind of people who shoot filling
station operators and storekeepers. They are usually
of a smoother, quiter type. Sometimes they move in
the beat social and church circles, but while they do
not use violent mrthada, their purpose is the same as
that of the strong arm gantry. They want money Ant
daea not belong to them. In the long run, though,
they usually pay a high price for what they get.
