FREE SPEECH l>et us all remember that one of the strong defenses of democracy is suggested in the saying of a great Frenchman: "I disagree with all you say, but will defend your right to say it to my utmoat."' So long as we wish to have no dictatorship in this country, neither of a central government nor of local Btrong-arm groups. let us each do all we can to protect free expression of optnion by every person in the land, even though we disagree bitterly with every word spoken or printed.

The war between the states started on April 15. 1861. War with Spain was declared April 21, 1898. The World's War began with us April 6, 1917. My honest hope is we will never have another war so long as the stars twinkle up In God's heaven and the stars and stripes wave over these United States. We as the citizens of this grand old America most keep the golden rule by staying out of future wars. We will be doing a grand thing for our children and our children's children and for those yet unborn and for the world at large. Then the lamb and lion may lay down together and the lltle child shall lead the bear and righteousness shall reign In all thy holy hills. H. Y. Belk. MIND YOUR MIND (James, Watson, M. D., Division of Mental Hygiene, State Welfare Department) "It makes much difference whose child it is." This observation was made during a discussion following an address In which I had stated that one out of every 22 boys and girls now in our public schools will spona some pari of bis or her life in a mental hospital. That means that a million or more children now In school wllj some day be declared insane. "Yed, says. Dr Hincka of the National Com mlttee for Mental Hygiene, "at least one-half of all mental illness cou|d be prevented If we acted in time. Mentality is the highest attainment of the race. Using the word "mind" in Its broadest sense. It Is with the mind we love, think, know, apprecate beauty, enjoy life, worship God. To lose one's mind Is life's greatest tragedy! ? ' ? ? ?

Hawk .Haven, and Harold Huunicutt have the same initials. I took a very high hike last week. At the invitation of Moffett Ware, I made the trip to top of the grain elevator, now befng constructed at the rear of Ware and Sons. The structure is 60 feet high, and a. beautiful view of Kings Mountain may be seen from the top. but I would not advise anyone who is the ICast bit "dizzyheaded" to make the journey on the scaffolds. I think Moffett and Garrison are the only ones in the organization who has been on .top. Sage . ultorv and Biser have watrhed the construction from the ground.

The observation, commonplace enough under moat circumstances, took on hew pungency by virtue of the fact that the Clarence referred to waa, at the moment. ' iKlKfUitt.R'-agi'gS.jg'aif';.'! the moment one of the oallbearers at the public funeral of the late Highway Commissioner Clarence Buchman, had whispered the remark to another ostensible friend of the deceased ? Vincent Gushing, political leader and Buchman's accomplice in the cornering of the Ktnte highway contracts. Clarence, jby an almost classical example of ipoctic Justice, had been killed in an auto that skidded on one of this own defective highways! As they paused for photographs, panting under the weight of the casket, Rus Sampson, Webb's bosom friend and partner, slid smother remark in Cushlng's direc'tlon. "1 heard your stooge, Senator Berry, try to shove the new Highway Bill through the legislature yesterday." "Pine man, Senator Berry," said the heavy-set, steel-jawed Cashing complacently. _____ |k; r > t K-v* "I've often wondered if we'd "Why don't they tear down Senator Berry and put up a comfort station?" mused Webb. "Tell me, Cushing ? what do you pave those roads with ? tapioca?" "Yes. But we put raisins in to make it hard." "Sounds awfully rich to me!" They reached the hearse, and performed their solemn duty. e The two lawyer gentlemen and their suave adversary met again that evening at a party in the upper reaches of Pete Goden&'s night club; a pleasaunce backed by Cushlng's money, where Cafe Society and swallow-tailed gunmen rubbed shoulders of an evening. Webb and Sampson had been in-. >ited there by Alma Brebmer, iWebb's old flame who now held 1^_thc more lucrative, it less excit lng, position of Cushlng's official ludy friend. While Cushing kept a hostile and suspicious eye on them, Webb and Alma partook of a refreshing interlude at the bar. A loud, drunken voice near the entrance interrupted their reminiscences. "George Taylor, my ex-husband," said Alma. "I recognise that snarl." "Where is she?" veiled the fel low thickly. Til wring her sklnny neck!" Than ha caught eight of Wabb with his loat lady. "I waa talked Into a divorce by that shyster." ho babbled. "She's my wife? ahe'a coming with mo or I'll?" I Pate Oodaaa stepped forward 'and a bored him backward Into the elevator, which promptly slammed bet, removing Ifr. Taylor from the proceedings. 1 Ton certainly can pick 'em," Webb told Alma.

The flock of gentlemen wolves crowded around. "Look, Johnny," smiled Alma. "That comes under the head ot unfinished business for you." She indicated a little dark-haired, sultry-eyed trinket whom Webb had ?*iiarsnrsr:.'oVil*eae'ieMiO>iy>f?OMW?y'' ? interest as she sang a song on the dance floor. Webb, quickly recovering from his sentimental mood, made his excuses to Alma and approached IM llllle singer, and suggested a dance. They moved off to the dance floor, but two mlnutea of Webb'a dancing convinced them both that sitting at a table would be real fun. Webb continued to lie beautifully, complimenting her on her singing, as they found their table and aat down. "1 was In a chorus before," said Ann Seymour, "but Mr. Qodena said X was just wasting my time hoofing and he gave me this Job. I think X need a few lessons ? but that's just between you and me."

"Hold It!" cried Webb. "How old did you say you were?" "Eighteen." One thing- John Webb had always Insisted on doing was to obey what he euphemistically called the "fishing laws" ? and the "fishing laws" In this particular State protected little fishes under the age of 21. Regretfully, he decided to throw back Miss Seymour, excused himself, and drifted away In search of Alma again. But his attention was almost immediately yanked back to the little dark-haired lady when she rent the smoke-thick atmosphere ' of the club with a loud shriek. Wheeling around, Webb beheld her employer, Pete Oodena, slapping her face and tearing at her dress as his form of protest at her hobnobbing with the wrong people. Webb sped across the room and, without stopping to take aim, drove a competent fist into Godena's teeth. Godena sprawled on his knees and several very harshlooking gentlemen started to move forward In Webb's direction. Rus Sampson, a Jewel In . an emergency, sprang forward with both his own and Webb's hat and coat, and tha three quickly made their way to the street e e Webb decided to take the almost hysterical girl home to his apartment for rest and black ooffee. Be planted her carefully in a chair, solicitously rubbed the ankle wlildh Godena had stepped on In tb* affray, and then, when she M calmed down, went Into the UWbw to make ooffee. When he returned a few mtadw later. Ann was standing In tfc? middle of the room, holding dress In her hands and speculatively at the torn fiasco In it.
