That is a question that only time can answer, according to an article by Carl (ioerch in the last issue of The State which he edits down at Raleigh. Before the next election in this state, many new problems will confront the ottiee seekers that have never before been thought of in North Carolina. How do we know? Take the record of the past five years. That is t he thing that we base our statement on. If you want to know what that K read what Mi1. ioerch had to say : "Probably never before in its history has North Carolina presented such a topsy-turvy political picture as is the case at the present time- "Democratic leaders and would-be leaders admit, that the situation is decidedly up in the air ami that they do. not know what's coming next. "Politically, the state seems to' be in the threes of a revolution'. As the famous Jimmy. Durante would -say: "it ' mutiny! .Mutiny that's what is is V "The present situation has been no over night development. Its inception goes back. to 1!2S to the days of the Al Smith campaign. Prior to that hectic period, politics in North Carolina followed a fairly regular course of procedure; you could usually tell what to ex pect and what not to expect. Cut after 1!2S, politics went haywire, and today no 'man can' tell what to expect next. "North Carolina's rejection of Smith and its adoption of Herbert Hoover was the first bombshell, followed by the defeat of Senator V. M. Simmons and the election of Josiah Will iam Bailey.. Then came the appointment of Cameron Morrison to the senate, with the re sultant McNinch entanglements. When Bob Reynolds announced' his candidacy there Was considerable merriment on the part of a good many politicians. They realised that Bob didn't have a chance and they ridiculed his temerity in aspiring to such a high oflice. When Bob proceeded to lick the socks oil' Cam in their 19152 campaign, it wasn't just a boombshell that exploded it was an entire barrage. One of the principal reasons ascribed to the Reynolds, victory was that .Bob was avow edly wet, 'while Cam was just as avowedly dry. 'It just goes to show that sentiment in North Carolina has changed and that our people are no longer in favor of the Eighteenth Amend ment,' was the way the situation was sized up by political prognosticators. "Senator Reynolds went to Washington and Cameron .Morrison went back to Charlotte. And now we come to the election almost two weeks ago. Again we see Morrison and Reynolds rushing oyer the state, making speeches. Cam, of course, is espousing the cause of the drys, while Bob is just as rampant ly wet as ever. Everybody knew that Cam was wasting his time and efforts ; that he was a gone goose and that nobody would pay any attention to his utterances on the prohibition question. "Maybe they didn't, but when the ballots were counted,' it was found that North Carolina had gone dry by 175,000 majority. The score or more of speeches made by Reynolds appar ently had no weight whatsoever. The people voted as though they had never heard of Bob. "In the meantime,. Senator Josiah William bailey had announced that he was in favor of repeal..- : In the meantime, Go ernor Ehring haus kept his lips sealed, but announced after the election that he, too, had voted for repeal. Practically all the congressmen voted for repeal. "The greater portion of members of the past legislature voted for repeal. " "So far a the votes of all these individuals are concerned every last one of them was of the majority should not b? fiiier-tly contrary to the votes -.;' c.'t i;;cns of North Carolina. "That's something which lost ,-.:ght of. ' The Drys won an overwhelming victory. Hardly had the ballots been counted when they proceeded to get busy to keep their organiza tion intact. Flushed with the sense of new pewer, they are determined to make their in-tkk.'K-e felt at future elections. They are back ed up by members of their group in practically "very county in the state. For the most part those members had been more or less insig nificant, so far as politics went, but they feel themselves to be in the limelight now, and they're going to try and stay there. "Practically every political leader in the state is in bad. There is only one outstanding ly prominent politician who has kept himself tinscratched and who stands high with both sides.. If he wants to, he can be elected to the senate, or can represent his district in congress, or he can be governor, or he can hold any other position to which he may aspire. That man i the Hon. Clyde Hoey, of Shelby. Up to the present, however, Mr. Hoey hasn't indicated that he aspires to anything. But what is going to be the fate of Bob Reynolds? How about Josiah William and the Bap tist brethren? What is going to be the reaction against those members of congress who were so staunch for repeal ? What about the men who are planning to come to the legislature during the next session? To be perfectly frank about it, not a single one of them know. Aand nobody else knows, either. The whole thing in a muddle the worst political muddle that North ( .a roll ma h; ever known. Only time can reveal what it's all about, so there's nothing for the rest of. us to do ex cept to exercise as much patience as we can- ODD THINGS AND NEW By Lame Bode VOl TH AND CRIME The crime report for the Department of Justice for the first nine months of -lit::' how that most of the crimes, committed "weiv-.'-by y -linger men and by old offenders. Of the total number of cases r( ported, one in every five . persons was under 21 . years of age, one , between 21 and 25 and one between 23 and ;i.. In other words three-fifths of the number ar rested were under 30 years ol age. ()t the total number of arrests reported, ;") per cent were of those who had criminal records. There ought to be nothing surprising either in the fact that most criminal offenders are com paratively young or that manv offenders repeat. Our penal system is not such as to reform men, even though advances' have been made in mod. rn years. Probably it will never be so ad vanced 'that men who serve prison terms will be restored to freedom with a better adjusted attitude toward society. And it would be sur prising, rather than otherwise, if the majority of criminals were old men- Old men lack the adventurous spirit of youth,' they' lack-youth's recklessness, they lack youth's courage. Wheth er better or not, they are more cautious. Fur thermore, an old man is more likely to have made a place for himself in the world legiti mately ; if he were the kind that would be tempt ed to a criminal career he would have already become a criminal. An older man, too, is less likely to be anti-social than a younger man. Either he has done fairly well as a well ad justed member of society or he has lost his spirit, lias become broken, is more likely to be a beggar or other recipient of charity than one determined to wrest a living from the world by fair means or foul. Bearing out these reflections are the na ture of the crimes usually committed by young er men. They are larceny, burglary, robbery and theft of automobiles. The last is espe cially significant. Most automobiles stolen are stolen for a lark, or as a means to the commis sion of other crimes, or for purposes of long distance travel- Where they are escapades it is to be expected that those indulging should be youthful, and where they are criminal it is likely that young men were chosen for the part not old men. There are older men who are burglars, cf course, but few take up the occu pation after reaching the compartively mature age of thirty. Larceny, of course, may be com mitted by any man , or woman and usually is committed on the spur of the moment, but the other crimes mentioned as more prevalent among youthful malefactors are crimes of youth more than of age. , All of which, however, does not meet the problem, which is to make youth law abiding and to wean! youth from anti-social predilec tions. To suggest education and a better eco nomic order is to belabor the obvious. But who has the particulars at fingers' point? Lynchburg News..

No sane person would venture the suggestion Hint we return to. a condi tion of living prior to the time we possessed many of the comforts of our modern age. Nor would any person suggest that less money he spent on the development of the arts and sci ences. I'erhaps we need more ofsuch cultural advantages. The permanence of our civilization, however, does not depend upon these possessions for the obvious reason that they all can be destroyed in the twinkling of an eye. In this, respect again Doctor Mayo is right. - ' ' -; nnar guarantee, have we then against the destruction of our civili tion?
