THURSDAY, NOVEMBER lfi. liM'l NORTH CAROLINA CRIME WAVE The increasing liumboi of hoiiiicidos and murders n North C'i.rol i. .:i mi iv.viiI week-; calls sharp attention to the fact that in this state as in Chicago the-o is a u'in " wirfu that striken at safety of the State and its peopl". If al lowed to go unchecked, no ma-i or -soman can I ravel in safety upon t-hf liighway-- of th" Sta'e or the streets of the cities and town- of the State. Even in Raleigh, 'tie Capital of the Slate. William Miliikan. a former vaudeville star, was slain as he was about to close up his humble store in the suburbs. This is (w..y one of many such crimes in North Carolina in recent weeks. No section of t he State is free from crime. The great dan"' now is that the people may come to tarie such dastardly outrages for granted There is only one way in which-to meet sAich n challenge to organized society -as the brutal killing of Wil liam Aidl'Vui. The whole community must be. come aroused to a sense of responsibility for it. Had such a crin-U' as the slaving of William Miliikan occurred in . the state only a few years ago. the" whole community would have turned out to find the .slayer. There would have been no let up iii the search until he- had been found. Hut now little public interest is manifested, it is left to the police forces. Tliey have worked unceasingly, but nothing is better established than the fact that a policeman cannot enforce the law himself- He must have the co-operation of the public he serves. Most people in North Carolina think of .Chi. cago as a place which human life is not safe. Some of them when visiting tiu Western met ropolis feel they must take along a revolver as a measure of protection. Hut human life is safer in Chicago than in North Carolina, safer than it is in Raleigh the' Capital of the State. What shall be done? If 'something isn't done speedily to check the crime. wave, then every man will have to carry a revolver, and then the anarchy of the jungle will prevail. Every cit izen must shudder when lie con. templates the' homicides and murders that have taken place in North Carolina in recent weeks. For every killing in Chieagj, even counting the executions of rivals by gangsters, there have been two or three in North Carolina. The only remedy is for all organized agencies to exert every effort to run down criminals and never to quit until they are safely confined. Here is a challenge that strikes home to every citizen. Raleigh News and Observer. SO SAYS BUCS' RAER In a copyrighted article in the Baltimore News, Arthur (Bugs) IJaer. noted columnist, w rote the following short squibs the day fol lowing the; announcement that North and South Carolina had voted against the .'repeal of the 18th Amendment, The heading being "Mountain Mule Wilis Carolina" You cannot blame the Carolinas for liking their liquor 'best. The boys voted against changing the pre scriptions. We know that old mountain mule It's mellow'i It's as pure as rain-washed air. What we can't understand is why cities vote wet and farms vote dry when one drink makes both of them look alike. ' Let's get back to Carolina mule. It ain't a bad destination. It's a jug-handled contract that holds a gallon. The old firm is still doing business at the edge of the woods. Take one drink of it and you will .sail down Main street like you had' an .outboard . mete! strapped to your coat tails. So you can see that the Carolinas were simply voting against inferior substitutes- Some of the folks have argued that reve nue derived from the sale of liquor will get the country out of the red what about the noses that will become crimson? COLONEL S, A JONES, LAST GREAT RAILROAD DREAMER Newspaper men in North Carolina who have a backgiound of experience will. have a feelingo of personal loss at' the news of the death of Colonel S. A. Jones, of VVaynesville, nearly eighty-two years old. Colonel Jones himself was an old newspa per editor when the role carried far more of ad . venture, if as little profit, as it does today. A native of Kentucky, he ventured into Florida early and edited The Tampa Daily Times, when the city of that name was an exotic village. He came to Western North Carolina, went into min ing on the commercial side without any deams of gold, and succeeded. lie is known tc the newspaper profession in this State on account i J' a scheme he fostered of a great transcon tinental railroad system which was to revolu. tionize the State, and Western North Carolina in particular. In the course of a busy career, the Colonel had done his bit of railroad building, and on the subject of transportation, freight rates, prosperity, and the rest of it he was the bob-cat's mittens. He would send the State press well-written essays on this subject, the only defect of which consisted in that fact that when he took his stenographer for a literary : "'! , he never could stop short of 3,000 words. v e . u-;-ei! to take pleasure in giving him a united hand without t urning over, the current i.r to exploitation of his idea. Those who 'member Tarn Bowie's "Lost Province'' bond issue scheme may be interested to know that its inspiration riubably came from Colonel Building a new across country railroad was, however, just a hobby with the Colonel who always managed to attend to his own more particular business in a satisfactory way, wa in all respects an admirable fellow and, when it came to being a host, a prince of hospitality. All in all, a colorful character filled to the brim with energy and daring in an ever more niateralisiic age to entertain limitless visions. - Raleigh Times. ODD THINGS AND NEW By Lame Bode1!

Servic SCENIC PARKWAY SEEMS ASSl RED Now that Secretary Ickes has notified rep. rcsentatives of this State and of Virginia an! Tennessee that he is ready to discuss the prac tical details of constructing a scenic highway through the Shenandoah National Park and on .into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a meeting for that purpose having been called in .Washington! for Thursday, it can be confi dently assumed that this project, the most in viting in many ways that has yet been advanced by the Public Works Administration for this section of the country, is as good as assured. The scenic highway, which will be built over the tops of the mountains and which will be approximately 500 miles in length, will be paid for out of the public works fund the only way it could be paid for. . But the three states through which it will be constructed will be re quired to cooperate with the Federal govern ornnient by providing a 200-foot right of way for the road. Senator P.yrd of Virginia is con vinced that landowners in this state Will be glad to donate this right of way because of the inci dental benefits which they will derive. Mr, J. Q. Gilkey f f '.-'.Marion, a member of the North Carolina committee for the parkway and a leader from the beginning in the movement to secure it, says that he has "conclusive infor mation that every foot of necessary right of way can be procured with one cent of cost to State or to the national government." That is the right spirit and we hope that the same spirit will be manifested when it comes to the location of the parkway. It means much to the region as a whole. There is no question we think, that it would be, as Senator Byrd says, "the greatest scenic highway in the world." Hundreds of thousands of peopje will be brought Southward every year because of it. It will be the crowning achievement of its kind for mak ing this mountain country the recreational cen ter of Eastern America, And its construction fits perfectly into the public works program, for it will create an immediate market for con struction materials, giving to the Whole coun try benefits of the sort contemplated by this part of the Recovery plan and providing a recre. .: ationol asset the value of which will be lasting shared by millions of people in the years to come.
