The early colonists worked, suffered and got along some how It was the law of John Smith that everyone should work Advancement, slow to be sure, followed. Years passed, and we shifted from that firm foundation of work and prosper The people turned to the natural re sources and dependmg upon the forests, mines, rivers and fields for support took time out for resting With the natural resources badly dis sipated, the nation then turned to the mortgage Next in line was credit on every imaginable plan. Time found everything mortgaged to the hilt and not enough money on hand to pay the first installment, and prosperity via the mort gage and installment plan blew up. We gambl ed along the way to make the whole scheme ol self-destruction exciting.? The march finally ended, and now we are riding as guests of the government What next, old man, what next? : Maybe, we'll have to go to work. Maybe, we will have to change the order of things, aban don our selfish run through life and offer a fair return for a fair day's work. Or, maybe, we will just continue to deteriate until we dry up and blow away. Children In Common Jails Friendless dependent children, nunibenny approximately 1,000, were held in the common jails of North Carolina last year, according to a report released a few days ago by Miss Lily E Mitchell, director of the child welfare divi sion of the State Board of Charities and Pub lic Welfare. It is readily admitted that the common jails of this State are no fit place for children, but what is tSfing done to keep them out? The fund, created to offer add to the dependent child ap-~ parently does not reach these unfortunate youths. With all that is being done 111 the way of creating agencies and increasing appropria tions, it is puzzling to understand why it is nec essary to jail the friendless youth. Possibly we are a step behind with appropriations and a step ahead in the business of adding to the number of State charges. . It is apparent that the problem will not be solved by jailing the dependent child. It is also apparent that ever increasing appropriations will not solve the problem. The solution rests with society, and to cope with the situation it must attack the problem at its source. Why are there so many dependent children? Probably society at some time in the past has stepped in m deny the father or the mother or both an opportunity to make a decent living, and now it is being taxed to support charges created by its own handiwork There are those, to be sure, who have squandered their earthly belongings and ignored every opportunity to better them selves, but those type cases have been and will always be with us. It is the thousands of cases created by an unbalanced economic system that cause concern among those who would reclaim the lives of the unfortunate youth and build himself into a useful citizen. Less For Humanity; More For War? . The House last week voted to decrease the national relief fund by $150,000,000. A propos al is now before the Congress for an increased appropriation for the Army and Navy The in dications are that Congress" will favor increas ed spending for armaments. Action in the House to curtail relief spend ing is a step toward starvation for thousands. Increased spending for armaments is a step toward death for thousands. Briefly stated the action of the House last week and its propos ed action in the future for bolstering arma ments are recognized as two direct attacks on humanity The Cause at Home News And Observer. In this day when more and more men in Am erica are talking of the necessity for greater and greater expenditures for defense, United States Commissioner of Education J. W. Stude baker emphasises an aspect of defense more important than battleships or airplanes Tn a statement stressing the necessity for the teach ing of tolerance in American schools, he said: "It would be a serious erkor in judgment to as sume that the people of the United States must defend themselves only against the military and economic pressure of totalitarian states. It is quite as important to strengthen the defense of our democratic ideas and practices against the inroads of doctrines which are so thorough ly lacking in both scientific and spiritual justi fication." The danger of armed forces from far away coming to overcome our democracy and over throw our liberties is remote to say the least. Danger, if it exists, is greatest at home where the same brutal, ruthless ideas may grow which do not seem to threaten in the form of totali tarian stales. There is nothing essentially Ger man or Italian about intolerance. There is noth ing essentially Russian about denial of liberty. None of these nations were forced to their pres ent undemocratic situations by power from without. Danger to democracy, danger to liberty, dan ger to tolerance come not from lands far away. We are the most dangerous foes of our own in stitutions unless we are the most vigilant pro tectors of them. Important Announcement!

Agricultural Ex periment Station at State College for five years, and on Jumbo Run ner peanuts for three years, with all studies at the Coastal Plain sta tion near Rocky Mount. Lovvorn and Kime summarized the results of the experiments by saying "Two plants every twelvi inches seems to be the most econom ical spacing for both varieties; the number of plants per hill had lit tlo influence on yield." The fertilizer circular contains recommended analyses for all the principal crops grown in the three mam soil provines in the State ? the Coastal Plain, Piedmont and the Mountains It also lists the quanti ties of fertilizers under different soil conditions and a section is de voted to a discussion of the most suitable water-insoluble nitrogen content of fertilizers.
