Tuesday, May 22,1934 Awards lor Character One school in North Carolina awards a cup to its pupil with the best character. It is probably hard to determine just how to choose or pick the winner, since when we study the general interpretation of character many people are able to qualify. On the other hand, it must be that the win ner is required to fully demonstrate his or her char acter by his or her orderly daily walk. It may be that the style of dancing may hare something to do with the picking of the winner; or it may be that a girl will lose the prize by her loud or boisterous talk on the streets, talking impudently to the teacher, father, mother, or perhaps scorn? the poor. In fact, when two girls go to the drug-store and one smokes, the other does not, then who gets the character a ward? The boy or girl who has not sufficient stability to take a decided stand between righV and wrong will not win the prize. The boy or girl who.curses and swears and has too little sense to know it is degrad ing will not win. It is only the youngster who is willing to forego, everything that has the appearance of evil who is entitled to "wlnT" ' ? ? J"-- - . ? . I ne Kignr i o uiner Clarence Darrow, the great lawyer of Chicago, has great ability to differ with other people. Nothing seems to suit him, especially things that other peo ple say or do. He wants to play the martyr's role, according to his words, but his acts seem to show - him up as a crucifier. The Harrow type of man is apparently unfortunate in that they are always able to see enough faults in others to condemn them, yet are unable to find enough faults in themselves to hurt. There is nothing wrong in differing with others, unless we depart from the right just for a chance to differ. Great minds and hearts need to move in unison for right things. Why should Mr. Darrow differ so wide ly from other great men? Hitler and the Bible s That fellow Hitler is going to make a new Bible, according to an announcement in the Manchester Guardian. This is the first time we have heard that Hitler has sense enough to make a bible. Of course, we knew all the time he has the asininity to try such an under taking. TEe main objection to the present "Bible "is ttiir it iayi too much about the Jewish people and does not say enough good things about the Germans. Dr. Krause, the Nazi, speaking before a meeting of German people's church said, "A German Bible ,?hould be compiled from the lives and utterances of. great Germans, and should be in the hands of all." The idea is similar to the one entertained by the Kaiser when he used the expression, "Me and Got", never putting God first, but always counting himself greater than God. Such bigotry will cause the downfall of any ruler, may shake the very foundations upon which their countries are built. That man Hitler is scarcely more than a puppet for war material trusts, and he is a dangerous man.. He should be subdued by his own people if they want the respect of the balance of humanity. Stiver Legislation The mere talk of silver legislation has raised the prices of stocks and bonds. It will likewise raise the price of cotton, corn, wheat, cattle and hogs. If silver Is recognized as a basic metal in relation to our monetary system, the price of farms, houses, and lands will improve. We will he able to pay our taxes and the interest and principal of our debts. We do not need more credit; we need more money and less credit. Speculative credit to all the people, with the crush ing power of a monopoly to handle our money is our trouble today. The man who carries the money bags is the man who can make or break the country. If be is just and honest, there is no danger; but when, Judaslike, be betrays the people, hard times and de struction reigns. More money when we need it, and less credit when we do not need it will be better for us. Farmers Going To worn It it Mid Ok fanners have all stopped talking about iBe cotton and tobacco acreage cuts and have "sbo nuf" gone to work, fearing the late, dry or wet, and cold season is going to cut them worse than the gov ernment. That is just where they are wise, because they need to make the best crop possible to get those big prices that crops are going to bring this fall. ? There are three governing factors in this farming business:' The individual farmer; the government, which is a collection of the people who make up the nation; and the elements of nature. All the people, collectively or individually, cannot change nature. No one individual can form the policies of the gov ernment. But where the individual farmer comes in is in the handling of his crops. No farmer can get far by grumbling and complaining at the seasons; he cannot do much by kicking against the govern ment, but he may do a lot for himself by doing his part well, which most of them are now doing. No Place for the non-Contributor Dr. B. F. Brown, of State College, in his address here last Friday evening, hit the nail on the head when he said the man who contributed nothing to society had no rightful place in that organized so ciely. <>( course he did not mean those should4?e e* cluded who are unable to contribute something to the world. Nation's Fire Loss Drops Smithfield Herald. Sometimes we are inclined to think lightly of the various kinds of weeks?Safety Weeks, ('lean-Up Weeks, Cotton Weeks, etc.?which we are called upon to celebrate. Some perhaps wonder if setting apart a particular week out of the fifty-two really does a cause much good. Judging from figures just released by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, at least "Fire Prevention Week" has had some effect. The estimated fire loss for the first three months of 1934 was $90,758,000, as compared with $107,530,000 in the same period last year?a drop of close to 15 per cent. Certainly, setting apart just seven days in a year to be known as "F'ire Prevention Week" could not have caused such a reduction in the fire loss, but certainly it has helped to focus the attention of the public on fire prevention, and thereby to keep people alert to fire hazards and their elimination. Preserving Peace Sampson Independent We hear and read much of the "next war," and VittSf llhsfrvm tell US lhal I-haia.-ii.-.tlrin(n?r-?t it com? infc soon. Any sane^MTti Ttnbws that we are still pay-' ihy, "in many ways, for the World War, and that it will provt a financial burden to generations yet un born. The yeae?-of depression were a direct result of the World War, to say nothing of the 30,000,000 lives that were lost during the conflict, together with the millions of others who were maimed fbr life. I'eace, even at a price, is more to be desired than war. The following editorial lroni the current issue of The Kotarian Magazine, on this subject, is worthy of serious consideration and should be studied by the heads of the nations of the world, the majority of which belong to Rotary Internatinal: Any one who believes that from the beginning of time the World War was fated to come, is in an il logical position even to hope for a warless world. But he who regards all wars as a direct consummation of policies of participating nations can build an op timism around a conviction that men, being think ing animals, need not forever blunder into bloodshed but some day will consciously choose courses of ac tion that prolong peace. Wars do not happen suddenly. They are made in time of peace. Then popular desires are shaped into national policies which conflict and eventually clash with those of other countries. It is interesting to conjecture what might have hap pened if, say in 1900, people of the 27 nations that were drawn into the holocaust of 1914-1918 had clear ly -realized -that the policies then being born would lead to that conflict. Perhaps, in considering wheth er the national aims should be pursued unmodified, far-seeing leaders might have stated the case thus: "These policies will lead to war. That war will take 30,000,000 lives, cost $400,000,000,000, snap the morals of civilization, precipitate a world-wide de pression. "If these policies are not pursued, 30,000,000 lives will be saved, civilization will proceed without inter ruption. And with the $400,000,000,000 we shall be able to give a $2,500 house, furnished with $1,000 worth of furniture and five acres to every family in the United States, Canada, Australia, Great, Britain, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany and Russia r to put a $5000,000 library and a $10,000,000 university in every city over 20,000 population in the countries named; and, furthermore, establish a fund, which at _jjKr_rent interest will for all time pay a $1,000 ?n^ nual salary to 125,000 teachers and 125,000 nurses." With the question so posed, it would seem to us certain that the nations of 1900 would have been will ing to sacrifice even cherished national aims for the benefits of peace. But would they? With thousands of maimed men yet living and Beets of merchant ves sels rusting in harbors to remind us of the cost of the last yar, we of 1934 persist in desires which are crys tallizing into national aims that can but lead to con flict. Realistic newspaper correspondents each morn nlng scan dispatches, ready to hasten to the cradle of "the next war"?a war'that admittedly will bank rupt civilization. It can, of course, be avoided?at a price. The price is that nations learn how to live and to let live, even though it involves relinquishing of what in an early day of relations between individuals was called "rights." Men of good will will continue to believe that some day governments, having weighed the case, will elect to do this. FOR 8 ALB: SO J A BEANS. Sev eral varieties. See Bowep Bros, WiUiamstoa, N.
