I Socialism is making rapid head- 1 way in North Carolina, according to J press reports. It is now said that | Governor McLean and many of his <uiv.Wrs are seriously considering the establishment of a state-owned print ing oifice, in which to do all the state printing. The spirit of Carl Marx and Eugene Debs must be smiling in glee, if those departed so cialist leaders are being kept in formed of tha happenings here on earth where they worked so hard to have the state own su.'.i i>-. '?tu tioris. Next thing in order is i'or ^he state to open some banks in which to deposit state funds and iend it self ihe money with which t ? carry on its great program. Then an automobile factory ought to be in operation by the state, in which to make all the cars thai our servants use. Then will follow, in natural se quence, the organization of a fire in surance company in which all the state property will be insured. Is it any stretch of the imagina tion to see the coming of a medicine factory, if the state is going into the socialistic column, in which all the medicine will be made and all the remedies compounded for state of ficials and state prisoners? Of course a coffin factory will soon follow/ and the state will, doubtless, be making its own coffins in which to bury its pauper dead. After a while, if this socialistic tr " d of thought continues, Raleigh will be dotted with homes owned by th . ciite in which all the state em p|rv '>s will live. . All these fool suggestions are ji.ii as sensible as the plan for a stat -owned' printing office. There is no more important industry, bus inc or profession in the state than that <;f the great printing industry. Emplc: -s in printing establishments or - paid 'ood wages, hence they are enabled to really live and be of use in their respective communities. When the st'te takes the position that printing :3 too high, and would lower the cost of printed matter, there is but one meaning to it. It means that the state would reduce the wages which in turn would lower the standard of citizenship that now is proudly Coasted by the business. While The News '??!>.* hot been asked for its opinio;- . we venture a suggestion of how ;o reduce the cost of state printin: . That sugges tion is for the stat" legislautre to refrain from passing >0 many fool laws every two years. Acres of type and train loads of pa.ier are neces sary each two years in the printing of a string of fool lav,-? that could b> easily left out of the program. But after all is said and done, the fact that Governor McLean, a con servative of conservatives, should even consider a socialistic program in his administration is the startling feature of the news stories emanat ing from Raleigh. IT GENERALLY j HAPPENS SO. Some-thing usually -happens to spoil any scene that is about to be pcfect ill all its stage setting. Lind be.gh had hardly realized the fuH ne s of his big act in flying across the Au...i>u C-ii;,; before Chamber lrin and his side-kick hopped ?lF to, Germany.

This occurred one day last .k wai n :he lire departnwiit was : ?vc.'ing an alarm. The lire had j;'>ne up Main street, and hit. Hi otnfield followed a few ?omenta iater in his car. Although the siren on the chief's ?r was sounded continuously, the 'viver of a car parked in front of r'lununer's store, started to follow .he fire wagon, pulling into the "trcet right in front of thj chief's rapidly moving car. Only the fact .la;. Mr. Bromfield's car is cquipr ?ej with four-wheel brakes avert ;?<! ?.ous accident, As it was, with all r.e quick work of the chief, his ca.* as brc tight to a stop only a few v.h.s from the other car. The law says that all drivers r.iu.'t ive right of Way to Si'o trucks and ?"is used by the tire department. Care should be exercised by drivers \f cars and by pcdest.'ians while fire . rucks and cars are answering an alarm. Thv sirens are signals for other cars to get out of the way, or ?omc to a dead stop so the fire wagons and cars can pass all other vehicles. Many people held their breath last .veek as the driver of the private jar came directly into the pathway if the chief's car. A crash seemed inevitable. The collision \Vas avert i id, however, yat many people are j asking about the next time. Let us "?ope there will be no "next time." . There Will be no next time ,if auto j * ... ? .sts will use proper precautions. tVHAT 1? OUR FUTURE N THE AIR? Just now the eyas of the world re turned toward the heavens as Americans have just conquered the air, sailing planes through space, , crossing the restless waves of east srn seas, landing their planes in cap itals of foreign countries in less than IS hours' time. Now that it has been demonstrat ed that oceans can be crossed in air -hips, vhat dovj th-_. future promise as a result of these achievements? tT'?w long will that friendly, enthus .astic feeling exist which has been Tendered through Lindberg's great triumph? A picture keeps bobbing up be fore our vision, hence our apparent ~k of interest in Lindbergh's n;:;;cveraent. We can see frightened Tethers gathering their babes about ..vni. looking anxiously into the space between earth and heaven, watching with tear-dimmed eye the coming into sight of a death-dealing plane whose mission it is to drop bombs into towns and cities, destroy ing everything within reach of its terrific explosive power. God forbid that this shall over happen. Yet we cannot forget the fact that submarines were highly praised when they first crossed the ocean in their particularly unusual manner. A little later these sub marines were being used for the uh l-.clv and inhuman purpose of steal ing along underneath the waves to j.uticture hoL\s in sea-going vessels, leaving the crews and passengers to spend a few h >rrible moments in living death, to be swallowed up in | the waves. j Wi know that each generation has brought forth greater weapons <.f destruction, frcr.i the tinv: of > ? Low and arrow to the In-", big World War's horrible death-dealing chines. We ought to know ilia,. .. , next war will ' . fought in th? , : .Aving tlies things, and picturing the awful horrors that will be left ? r.. ; h ;? wakv i r cropping li'imbi fr?;n ,:.ir planes, w. cannot work up a . . ry great amount of eiithu-:a-r* i.vt r these recent so-call.il victories , ,f 1 ? distance flying.

Soon the Glorious Fourth of Julyj* bo h 'ro. Ai least, it used to be | .-:.ilr the "Glorious Fourth." We're 1 jus wonder in}? if there is to be any celei;:*ation of the day in Transyl- j vania county. If there are any r plan for (lie- celebration, such plans j j have been kept very quiet. What j do you say. good folks, about .he j .coming day? ' j < THE PRAYER CORNER THE FIRST STEP IN OUR LIFE WORK Thy Hist stop is this: God has-'-jj :.iade r for something definite; what is it He would have me do? And in asking the question 1 see God clearly as my loving Father. 1 see the world as having need of me I mid as having a place which I only i"n fill, and I see myself as honored and glorified in my opportunity. I tliaiil: God for my creation. Since God made nie for something I definite and since He knows for what He made me, it becomes me to go to Him first of all, anil ask. Him to show me His will. We generally err in going to God, if we go at all, after we have made up our own minds, and come to a decision. We k God's approval upon our deter mination, instead of asking His guidance in forming our determina tion. "It" I employ a clerk, the most natural thinj; for him to do is to come and ask me what I wish him in general to do. If he is capable, , lie will have originality and inhia- i, tion in the details, but he will need an outline. So while God leaves me a free agent with a will and zeal of ray own, He must tell me clearly what He calls me to do. Hence the wisdom of going to Him." | Oh, what an inspiring vision comes as I write. It is a vision of all I these thousands of June graduates 'kneeling down, each one in his or ' her secret chamber, and asking God :to direct the course of life! God answers, not by miracles nor by a sign in the sky, but through our j own endeavor. He enables us, first J of all. to see life clearly as a course J stretching out before us. He lets | us see the meaning of living, the i I need and the character of the world j with its faults and its -excellencies. ' i He opens our eys to the bigness of!) life, with its far reaching issues, so ! i that we are ready to take our part without fear or discouragement. Then, He enables us to make prep aration for the work ; a preparation , which may be longer or shorter, ac cording to the task we are to begin. He keeps us from slighting that preparation, as if it were unimport ant -ind at the same time, He holds from exaggerating it, as if it were everything. He makes us see how each part of that preparation has a ) meaning, and how it is never ending,'^ each morning havinjr a new lesson. [! and a now inspiration all through life. And then He gives us splendid courage, so that wo can attend anv- E ! ( thing, bear anything, endure anv i thing w'"* fear or dread. Oh, | we need i .. .; most of all!
