Friday, May 18, 1934 Duke's Young Magazine Publishers The publishers of the Duke University student paper, "The Archive", seem to have struck a snag in trying to put over their program of bigotry and in dependence. They apparently demanded too much. The same principle or spirit too often prevails in most schools. Members of certain groups are always trying to advance their own ideas whether of sound principle flr not. It is the same rule that too fre quently applies to the modern home, where the son and the daughter choose to do what they wish re gardless of the warning of their parents. And in sojne cases children almost regard their parents as oiil ill ifafeTiwIl'i jy il, .imjih many of the up-start students. When they get ar tfiPwJlltiS. J>n full steam ahead and pay little attention to the steer ing wheel, and forgetting all the rules of the road and even disregarding all the danger signs. Just so with these young college publishers. They forget the old fellows who founded the institutions. Many of the hasty group scarcely know for what purpose the institutions were founded, and the sacri fices necessary to establish the great colleges and universities. It is gratifying to see wild youth set down upon, -jnst-as it was dune in-the Duho case.?w - The Inescapable' There are two things that man can not finally es cape, and one is the law and the devil the other when he does wrong. Ask Dovies, the rich man who had his good time on earth, yet he lifted up his eyes in torment and called for poor Lazarus. Ask Samuel Insull and the two Luke Leas if one or the other will catch them in the long run. All -XJburce of. these. inep?.haijbeen running from and fight ing the law for three years. Insull is now in jail in Chicago and the two others are in the North Caro lina penitentiary. The saying, "The wages of sin is death," is as true as life itself. A gluttonous desire for wealth was the cause of the downfall of these three men and countless others. As it is in most cases when people are content with a simpl living, they are always hap pier. The desire to pile up money unfits most men for honest living, and they begin to rob and steal, failing to do good to themselves as well as to their fellowman. Don't covet riches; to do so is dangerous. The New World Fair The new ami- improved Worlds lair will open-the season the 26th of this month with 10.000 military marchers taking part in the initia lexercises. The fair this year will exhibit many great improvements over what was seen last season with a number of new features, including the Ford exhibits covering eleven acres of floor space and using one-third as much elec tricity as is used by the entire fair. Nearly everyone seeing the fair last year wants to see it again, to leisurely visit the sights created by man kind and assembled from all parts of the world. The man or woman who wishes to better his or her education can find no better place in the world to do so than at the fair, because the world is brought there and shown almost as a single unit. The ^posi tion is worth the attention of the wisest of men. Landlord and Tenant Dr. G. W. Forester, State College professor, says tenants should share in profits. The professor might have well added that all types of labor should share in the profits created by their hands. With conditions varying in the factory and on the farm, sometimes labor and tenants get too much, but more often they get too little. There is too much in common between landlord and tenant and between employer and employe in the factory to let one side do all the bargaining. When the tenant gets a fixed supply for the year and prices go low and crop# fail, the tenant, while he gets little enough, fares better than the landlord. In another year, the tenant will not fare so well, while the landlord gets the profits. What we need is a system whereby the landlord works for a living plus a profit, and the tenant works for a living plus a profit. This will bring the two classes together, and make a far more congenial par tnership. After all the landlord and tenant are each dependent upon the other. Do Away with Profit in Kidnaping Who knows what to do about all this kidnaping going on throughout the country? One page in the dailies says the government has stopped hunting for certain kidnapers so the folks can pay them off and get the kidnap victim back. Another page in the same paper says millions are to be spent to suppress kidnapers and other perpetrators of crime. The kidnaping business is almost like the liquor business. Men engage in it for money and some are so strong after money they will put their liberty and even their lives at stake for the almighty dollar. Just as long as there is a good profit in stealing children and selling liquor somebody is going to try it. If the government should forbit paying ransom for the kidnaped and hove no tax or profits in the liquor trades, these crimes, so glaringly exposed on nearly every journal throughout the land, will not be heard of so often. There are thousands of people who will sell liquor at $2.00 a gallon profit, and beat the government out of the taxes. And so long as men can get $100,000 for stealing a child they will continue to kidnap. The urge for easy money is too strong for some people to bear. We need to teach the generation that" the wages of sin Is death. A survey of the present situation shows numerous dangerous spots for our school system. The united fight against the sales tax, which is the source of finance for a good proportion of the support of the public schools, will, if it fully succeeds, pos sibly mean a heavy blow to the public school. The anti-sales tax advocates so far have not suggested a reasonably satisfactory substitute for the tax, which should be done before we venture too far in the fight against that source of revenue. If the salaried man is relieved of the sales tax, the farmer will have to take the burden on his shoulders and pay for both himself and the salaried man. Or if both are re lieved, then who is willing to pay for the schools, and who will come to the rescue and say to the mil lion North Carolina children, "We will see that you have the oportunity of an education." , J hffe are many changes needed in our tax system, bur^we^mastt'iMwtr.tljft.Jaf front somebody, and if we excuse every fellow who Would 'like tot Jm .excqsed, our entire system of government will collapse. Politics In Home Loan Administration There's too much politics in the Home Loan Ad ministration, and somebody needs to be asked out or kicked out, most preferably the latter procedure. Of the $50,000,000 assigned to use by North Carolina hnnTeoWhers, onty about one-tenth, or five millions dollars, has been lent while thousands of applications from depressed owners lie in pigeon holes. North Carolina's rating shows it to be about half as efficient as the bordering states. When we depend upon old broken down politicians to conduct our af fairs there's always too much inefficiency. And if that is the case with the Home Loan business in this State, then put out the incompetents and put in men who will do the job. "U/h? n* J .. n i. r->_ rr 11/ i/u imciiigcm r~cvfJtc Lsriri/tr " The question, "Why do intelligent people drink?" seems to be a rather hard one to answer; at least, harder than to find the reason why persons of un sound mentallity partake of the poison stuff, the latter class hardly to be expected to figure out the cost or the consequences of the practice. Surely one can understand why the degraded hangers-on and the. fellows who hang around the saloon drink. In many such cases a long period of neglect and improper con tact may be the cause of one's drinking. But when we see people of social standing, and the real power of achievement with the capacity to know the ill ef fects of alcohol on the human body and the extra hazards it causes, and the power and influence of al cohol to destroy the sound, honest thinking of the best of men, it is an unsolved question why intelligent Can a man drink and retain his iniellip?-nr>> H.m, much can he drink and retain his itelligence? These questions are aside from the point. The safest plan is not to drink it all for whiskey has a tendency to make good men bad. Reducing Congressmen's Salaries * - Candidate T. E. Bailey, a candid ite for Congress in the Fourth District, has one good plank in his platform, and that is the reduction of the pay of the congressmen from $10,000 to $8,S00 which is a fine talking |>oint, but one that has no chance in the law making body. The very fellows who will have to do the cutting will be the fellows will be cut, firmly es tablishing a guarantee that the salary of a congress man will never be cut. We feel that the pay is too much. The members of Congress, of course, spend and squander their money. In fact, the spirit of extravagance runs so high in Congress that nobody has any more time to study statesmanship. It is nothing but politics and trying to hold the job. Thumbs Down on Japan The interpretation by Japan of her rights in China and the Far East should not be tolerated by any of the nations if they expect to retain their existent* in (he future. The next step, when the Japs get China fully armed and on a militarized basis, may likely be conquest of California, Oregon, and Washington, and then east ward to the banks of the Mississippi River. Their idea of power is very gluttonous and when they get the power, they will uie It. Thumbs down at to Japan should be the national attitude of Caucasian people. the LETTER-BOX hbkbs thb law -An, P??on found in ?? ! ed condition on any street, alley, other place within the corporal* fined ten dollar.

And in^ view of certain well-known and persisting violations, one is disposed to ask these two questions: 1. Why don't the officers enforce this regulation? 2 And why don't the rest of us? ?be citizens of WillUn.ston-cooper ate with them in doing it? 1 doubt tf any one would question the statement that we have as fine a group of officers in Willianiston and in Martin County as you would find In almost any town. I. should say, indeed, much better than the average. They are our neighbors and our friends, and their families are also, here. One may he assured that they ( arc as interested in a decent com-, munity as the rest of us. I The only point is that we would y naturally expect them to lead out in | stopping public drunkenness on the, i streets of Willianiston. They, in turn, no doubt expect of the rest of , n^tluT^VWfipoa. I, Neither of these two things TI5ST been done wijh much efficiency in recent times,-that is, these officers recent uiuca,? ; seemingly haven't been doing much,( about it; and, the rest of us have done | still less.

The mayor of our city t*yt, in ef fect. that it is impossible to yet far without public sentiment. To that I fully agree and subscribe. And pre ;isely that is what he haven't built up. I'm not so sure that you can ex pect any group of officers, no matter how fine a group they are, to put themselves out about a matter unless the citizenship wants it done. If the people in Williamston want Main Street and "GrabalP to be Grogg Al leys, they probably will be; if the men and women of the town ever take a notion that they don't want this, then, the streets will probably? indeed, quie likely, be cleaned up! So, the point in this matter is simply this: we already have pubis: 'officials and public officers; but we [seem to have no public opinion be hind them from the community. And the time has come when we should have both! I, therefore, challenge the people of this community to in some way let it be known that they don't want to see any more public drunkenness on the streets of Williamston; I further challenge?them?to let out officers know that they are with them in cleaning up; then, I believe that I "can promise that there'll be a clean*' ing up under such conditions.
