Sarvis trying to buck the Durham Countj Kmer gency Relief officials. All because they know Sarvis | so well, Sarvis is one ol those fellows who preferred to beg rather than to work: not only did he learn the art of begging, but he learned and practiced the art of , ' beating." Now he is becoming so bold that he is criticizing and biting at the hand that has fed him. His type should be cut from the payrolls altogether. He is of the type that wants to get front the world all he can and give to the world,as little as he can. Another amusing thing about Sarvis is his prayers. ! Well, he cettaiiily ought tu-Jcnuw how to pray; he joined eyery church in Martin County that would have him. '? After all, the proper thing for any man to do who is not satisfied with the government relief program is to stop accepting free food, free clothes, and free money, and make his own living. Sarvis knows how to farm and is able to work, and that is the pro|>er place for him rather than on fhe relief rolls. loo., many nf h^'diype'aBC^ygtndrthroughouf dm counfiy.""'. V "?? The Responsibility for Crime Crime is said to be the most costly thing and the heaviest burden the American government and its sub divisions has to bear. And so far we have not defi nitely placed the responsibility for crime. OT course, we generally put it off on the fellow who is caught with the goods on him, and, of course, from a legal standpoint, he is rhe guilty man, On the other hand, it may be the mistakes of a mother, a father, a teacher, or the attitude of that class that we call "the good people" generally. As the child grows up he measures everything he sees and hears. When he hear- his mother talk ugly about a neighbor every day and then, when Sunday comes, sweeten up on her, nobody knows about the deceptive lying any better than the child. And when a little boy sees hi- dad put the big apples and big potatoes at the top of tlie barrel when hi' se^s them, and hears him stretching the truth about his acres, and multiplying the [rounds of tobacco be get*, a fine? lesson in fraud is taught, and by the time he has reached school age he has already learned the art of lying and stealing and from those' who love him best and would not hate him do wrung lor anything.? ? Our liquor law violations have la-en more thaW doubled hecan-r of the influence of the so-called "bet ter class," by their very attitude as well as their patronage. The handling of eourts have had much to do with increasing crime on the one hand, as well as the de terring of crime on the other hand. The recent investigation in Raleigh also brings to light a condition which exists in many places?that is, officers becoming partners in crime through friend ship, for money, or for fear. I'oliticaJ rings are weld ed by lawbreakers- The gamblers, the bootleggers, and the "red-lighters" vote for the man they can rule; and he is afraid to resist and turns his face from the scenes of crime and trails on the back-track of reports when they come to his attention. Raleigh, of course, thay be an exception, yet there are many towns and cities where justice is sold to satan by officers of the law. Half of all crimes -will be stopped when courts, en forcement officers, and the better class of people do their duty as citizens and officials. An Overworked Word The most overworked word, and perhaps the one least understood, is "confidence." It has been brought to the front by predatory wealth. What they want is full confidence that they can dominate political rules of the country. What the average little man want is confidence that he will get fair play and the assurance that he will be saved from the plundering and oppressive domination of his opportunities, his privileges, his person, and his property?which makes the meaning of the word entirely different. When the word "confidence" can be defined as pro ducing a feeling of honesty and safety,,it is one thing; a special class that gives them the assurance of getting the best of every deal, then it means an entirely dif A Job As a Crime-Prevent at ive The young Chicago murderer uttered a wise and forceful truth just before he took his seat in the elec tric chair, when he said. ''Society should provide for the young man. The young man should have a job when he finishes school. If that were the case, there would be less crime." The wrong impression has prevailed for a long time, both with |>arcnts and boys, because they have thought that when school is finished, the boy is quali fied tt> direct work, as a boss, and (or that reason too many young men have shunned the hard end of the job and have sought more desirable occupations by roaming the country. Disappointment and dis gust. with themselves and with the world, followed by hunger, soon changes their attitude from die high standards of life for which they thought themselves equipjied and which they really were, to baser thoughts and they become revolutionists at heart. They soon fall in with men who are acquainted with crime, and in their des|?eration they join any kind of lawless parties and go out to rub, steal, and possibly kill. Several things are needed to remedy this condition. Kirst, teach the boy that he is not entitled to any thing which he does not earn honestly; and if he can nnt earn enough l.y hi-, labor ot live lip to a Certain standard of luxuriousness, then drop his living stan datd to his basis Of earning. The average young man gets too much white bread while at home and af school. 1'hen when things do not measure up when he gets ciut on his own resources, he complains and kicks. We need more seasoning at home, and-we need to lie told about how hard it is to go out and get a job that we are not capable of holding in mjny instances, f ar lietter if we could understand that a little job with small pay, well done, will soon lead us upward: where a; a big job poorly done carries us down and too often ruins us. "Tlie young murderer was right -a job for the boy when he quit.- school will save him from much crime. -Parent's do not make the mistake of assuming that your educated boy is too good to work Put him in the ditch, if necessary. It is far better than the jail. Lower License Fees II begins to look like a movement is being launched to lower automobile license fee- by the next General Assembly a thing that will eventually mean poorer loads in North Carolint There may be some inequality in the lijpffiso fee in the-case where one tnan drives his car every day and another only once a week. The system may not seem ?e\at tly i r.or at le^jt polkas fair as the .gasoline tax, casts'tlie ilaijy driver seven iinies_as much as it does the weekly driver, and. which [s the true prin ciple of services and benefits where a man pays for what he gets and gets all he pays for. However, the license fee is payment for a privilege, while the gaso line tax is payment for service. The man who wants good roads and who wants Lu retire the road bonds of the state when they come due will do well to be careful how he votes for rep lesentatives who want to reduce license taxes for au tomobiles. Just a Twist oi Words t'oldsboro Xruis-Argus It seems little mure than a twist of words, yet there is a great difference between the two phrases "pay scale" and "paid scale." We interject, before continuing this comment, that we are about to venture a remark about education, to wit. the pay of North Carolina's teachers. And we add that the pay, in the cases of the majority of teach ers, is criminally low (in the cases of a few teachers, l cents.a month is far too much). What we are interested in is the pay of the great majority of our teachers. It is too little. The scale of pay is not merely much lower than the scale in many smcs; trot 1n itself and compared to pay of other North Carolina state employees and people in prienle employ in thi, .-Inn it i.i ton low - Having stated which position, which we firmly main tain. we wish to add a word of disparagement to the efforts of certain s|>eakers and writers who make much of cohiparison of the pay scales for teachers in North Carolina and those in other states during these pass ing troublous years. North Carolina has at least paid its scale, lowly though that may be. In other states we know of, teachers have received no pay, |?ay for a month or two of the year, pay in warrants which they could turn into cash or use for buying anything only by discount ing those warrants at from .10 to 50 per cent of their face value. \\ hen it comes to a teacher actually handling money, there has been and even still is a great differ ent e between some of these states with "pay scales" and North Carolina with its "paid scale.'1 Population Gains Slow Up Transcript anil Messenger. An estimated gain of 797,000 in the population of the United States in 1933 is reckoned to have brought our pop^Iatio figures for January F, 1934, up to a lit tle mire than 126,000,000, an increase of approxi mately .6 of 1 |>er cent. The interesting thing about these figures, howevA, is that the increase is the smallest since away back in the last century. Which, in connection with the fact of a gradually lowering increase in the numbers of our people, suggests that the fear of overpopulation? aroused perha[>s by the plight of Japan -is unlikely to be realized here. Statisticians and economists who, a few years ago, were busily "warning" of the threat of overpopula tion and the shortage of food, are now just as b"??y engaged in figuring out just when the population will become stationary and what proportion of the popula tion will be able to produce food enough tor all of us.
