ASKING FOR CREDIT
Standing beside the cash register of one of
our local merchants last week, we listened to a
pitiful “hard-luck” story told by a resident who
wanted what tire merchant had, needed it. but had
no money to pay nor could he truthfully prom-1
ise the merchant when he would pay it. But lie j
did say. “Brother, when I do get some money. •
this is the first thing I will pay for.” He sounded
sincere.
“What would you do?”, the merchant asked
us.
“He sounds honest. I believe I would let him
have it.” was our answer. The merchant did so.
A few minutes later, another merchant entered j
the store ami we asked him about the man. \Y hat j
he said was plenty. Had he been in the store when
the man was pleading his case, there would have
been no credit extended.
In less tnan an hour, there were three more
similar cases in that one store. That merchant
now has hundreds of dollars on his books. How
long can he stand it? How in the world can he
know when a man or woman is telling the truth
about their intentions to pay? j
Why should his store, because he operates a
credit business, bear the brunt when times are
hard and get no added compensation for it when
times are good?
The only sound policy we can offer is for
each store to extend credit only to those persons
who have patronized them and paid them when
money was free and easy. Such is business.
' BUSINESS IS BETTER
There appeared by the thousands last week
in the New York Stock Exchange and along the
financial streets of the City, little lapel buttons:
“Business is Better.' They were given away by an
optomistic member of the Exchange.
Reports are that some took them with a ;
grunt of diseain, only to later break into broad ;
grins as they were “kidded” by their friends.
There was much joking and wise-cracking con
cerning the buttons and their wearers.
But thee’ turned the trick. Everybody felt
better and when the sun had set that day, thev
stock market was stronger than it had been for,1
weeks. What a littie thing it takes to change <i--- jj
feat into victory, a frown into a smile. Less ;
grouching and “belly-aching” will work wonders 1
toward bringing back better times.
We have plenty of it here. Some days we
even feel that way ourselves. But like prodding a
sore tooth, it doesn’t help matters one single bit
and eventually makes- things worse.

DAiLY SCHOOL PROBLEMS
We have over 2.000 school children and 67
teachers in the Twin Cities. With the buildings
and equipment necessary to properly educate
these children, this school system of ours repre
sents the largest industry in the community, ex
cepting the mills. We have problems arising ev
ery day whicn must be worked out to the best ad
vantage of the majority; many of these problems
are peculiar to this community alone. They must
be settled quickly.
What we would like to know is how all these
daily problems would be settled satisfactorily if
our school system were under State supervision,
as some would have it, with every action neces-|
sitating approval of some individual or depart
ment over in Raleigh.
TESTS FOR AUTO DRIVERS
A state official made the statement last
week that 5? per cent of the automobile acci
dents can be attributed to 1. Persons driving in
the middle of the road. 2. Persons failing to stop
when driving into main roads and streets from
side roads or streets.
This statement can lie borne out in part by
an accident which took place here Sunday even
ing in front of the Presbyterian Church. A mo
*. rtycle driver coming up the Avenue toward
Rosemary crashed into an automobile that was
t 'mir.g in the opposite direction and turning to
the li ft at the intersection. The crash came just
a< the car driver passed the middle of the inter
sec ion.
This particular accident can be blamed tc
tii drivers. The car driver turned across the
road too soon and the motorcycle rider was travel
ing at too great a rate of speed in passing an in
tersection. The letter al-o appeared to. lack any
control of his machine.
Of course there may be some consolation to
wreck* d autoists to Know they were not to blame
for an accident. They are welcome to what con
solation they can derive from that knowledge.
it that will not pay for wrecked cars and ne'v ■
to say nothing of injuries which may result and
sometimes death.
The best alibi we know of is to drive so cat
fully that chances for accidents are reduced to
;;mum. We realize fully that even the most
careful driver is subject to accidents wholly be
yond his control because with as many cars or
the roads as there are there are bound to be a cer
tain number of plain darn fools (and we use that
term with the full knowledge of the Scriptural
consequences) who have no more business with
a car than a three year old child. In fact, if put
to an intelligence test, they would not pass the
three year old score.
Which leads us to the point that a set of i
simple rules should be compulsory before a driv
er's license could be obtained. Society would he
amazed at the number of half-wits, morons, and
incompetents endangering the lives of millions
who daily traverse our streets and highways.
And we believe a further examination would
show that this type of person usually operates
what is known as a junk car. not a second-hand
ar even third-hand vehicle, but one which has
passed through many hands and which is totally
unfit to be allowed on the highways; entirely out
>f place today when speed, perfect braking, test
ed steering apparatus and good lights are ab-o
utely essential.
AN ARCTIC TRAGEDY
After 33 years, a mystery of the Arctic has
teen partial!', cleared up by the finding of the
•emains of Salomon A. Andree and one of his
•ompanions on an uninhabited island in the far
forth. Some equipment and records were also
bund frozen in the ice.
Andree was a distinguished Swedish aero
taut and engineer, who had made several notable
taUoon flights before he set out on his fatal ex
pedition at the age of 12. With two companions,
fils Strindberg and Knul Fraenkel, he ascended
n a balloon from Danes’ Island on July 11, 1897,
vith the idea of drifting over the North Pole. It
vas hoped to later reach Alaska or some other
and, whence they might make their way home.
Two days after their departure a message
nought back by a carrier pigeon indicated that
they were being carried far off their intended
course by unfavorable winds. Nothing more was
ever heard of the brave adventurers until their
remains were found a few days ago.
The Andree undertaking was hazardous, ev
en foolhardy. Under the most favorable weather
conditions the chances were overwhelmingly
against its success, as the participants well knew
before they set out. The lure of adventure claim
ed them as its victims, as it has claimed many of
the world’s bravest in all ages.
HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW
A Charlotte Newspaper, seeing S35.000 leave
there this week via the circus route, comments
that times are not so hard after all. Rosemary
merchants, rowing the merry-go-round, prob
ably agree.
One bad feature of such fly-by-night enter
prises is that they take all, leave nothing. When
I business grows dull, they pass on to greener pas
tures. Your local merchant must stick it out.
