Pubttahar and Editor Entered ea Second Clara matter April drd, 1914, at tb< Poatoffice at Roanoke Rapid*, North Carolina, under Act March 3ra 87W PRINTERS" LITHOGRAPHERS, ENGRAVERS OF F’KTAI. RECOGNITION Half tile members of the Roanoke Rapids Fire Department were guests of the Kiwanis Club last Thursday night; the other half will be guests at a later date. This Thursday night, twenty boys of the State championship High School baseball team, our own High School boys, will be guests of the club. In this way does the Kiwanis ( lub. on be half of the citizens, take official cognizance and make public recognition of work well done for the community. There are many who do not know or understand what these civic clubs are for. This is one of the reasons for existence. There is no .me trait so little and mean as ungratefulness. And likewise, there is no more commendable trait than that of thankfulness. When our II.gh School boys bring glory and hon or to our oitv by clean, hard, sportsmanlike play there should be some way to show appreciation, other than by mere word. When the hoys of our Fire Department sacrifice time and even money to protect us from the dangers of fire, some ac tion should be taken to impress them that we are grateful for such splendid service. In its merest way, the Kiwanis Club tries to do what is impossible for the town at large to do: say with weeds and action "We Thank Win." COMMENCEMENT Next week another class goes forth from Roanoke Rapirls High School, graduating. It will probably be the largest class on record. Whoever named the exercises which we shall have next week, must have been an elderly per son who had graduated with high purposes, great resolves, self confidence and the knowledge the world was easy to conquer. They called it Commencement. A rather pe culiar name for what many would define as the end or the attainment of a much-sought goal. But Commencement it is. for on that day. life begins in earnest for many a young person. While they may have thought their school days difficult and even obnoxious, they love to look back on them as the happiest and most care free part of their existence. Some will go to college, some will go to work, a few may even get married. Those who go on to a higher education are preparing themselves to fight life’s battles in a little different way from the others, but they only delay their day of Com mencement. The parents and relatives of the boys and girls of this graduating class, as well as all oth er school patrons, should be proud of the class; prouder still of the fact that Roanoke Rapids af fords for its boys and girls the best in the way of education. No group of children in any city goes forth with better advantages than our own here. And those boys and girls and their folks would be ungrateful indeed if they failed to re cognize that our city is able to give these advan tages because of the industries and mills we have here. Because of them, our boys and girls are given the best teachers, courses, extra-curricula activites, buildings and instruction that money can buy. They go forth from Roanoke Rapids High School equals of any High School gradu ates in the United States. The richest, most plutocratic town in the coun try has no edge on us when educational advan tages are compared, and our boys and girls go to college and compete successfully with the best in the land: or they go to work with the consoling knowledge that their preparation for life is the best to be had. We are proud of this fine class of boys and girls and proud of the schools which have pre pared them for Commencement in life. AMERICA FOR AMERICANS Mr. Reynolds has one plank in his platform which is more important than at first strikes the eye. He would bann immigration of foreigners for a number of ' ears. Immediately there will arise a howl from so-called, self-called patriots that this is un American. But is it ? Are we not Americans for America first? We see two good reasons why Mr. Reynolds’ plan should be enforced. First, due to domestic labor conditf ns. it is essential that wo find em ployment for those of our own nation who are without work. And secondly, we have been cursed with a poor grade cf immigrants: those who are not wanted in their own country, those who have fail ed to make good, and many criminals and inherent law violators, about whom their neighbors prob ably saiil "Good riddance.” If there are those who cannot go all the way with Bob Reynolds in regard to immigration pro hibition. none can logically oppose the purpose of the plan and help but see the benefits to be de rived. The crime wave which has been with us the past several years cannot be laid directly at the door of the immigrant, but it is well known that the murdering, kidnapping, defiant gang leaders and members of the large cities are chiefly for eigners. A1 Capone, gangster No. 1 of the Nation, is a foreigner, who would probably never have been in America if we had been stricter with our im migration laws and firm in the determination to pick only the highest types of prospective citizens. OWEN n. YOFNG ON THE TARIFF WAR "We must get hold of this tariff question; of this debts quest ion; of this disarmament ques tion. But it seems to me that we cannot get hold of them until we establish a strong liberal lead ership. which will see the foreign questions as a whole, which will educate the people of our coun try to an intelligent and generous attitude and which will summon to our aid the intelligent and the generous in other nations. “In the field of tariffs, our enactment of the Smoot-Hawlev law has been followed by res prisals and retaliations or, if you prefer, imita tions by all the other nations of the earth. Every nation has now got itself into a position which its more competent leaders know is a disaster, and yet all of the nations are so murderously armed in an economic sense that not one of them dares to turn back lest ft. be overwhelmed.”—From Statement of Owen D. Young, New York, May 17, 19.12. Smaller than an atom, even smaller than an electron, is a newly discovered particle of matter called the neutron. Its size is too infinitesmial to be described, but it is probably somewhat larger than the soul of a kidnapper at that. Graham Copely of St. Louis was so fright ened by the wrecking of an auto in which he was a passenger that he ran six miles to his home. BHD ’N> BUB By ED KRESSY I In Memoriam — May 30 ,nm- Albeit T.

Children are a great comfort in most instances, I can see, and if the race is to continue, they are, of course, an absolute neces sity. Poor old King Lear, however, had a hard time with at least two of his, and got little satis faction from his relationships with them, liis is one of the most tragic stories in fiction. “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is,” he cries out in an agony of grief und disappointment of Goneril, “to have a thankless child.” When I was a little boy and used to drive into town on Saturday aft ernoons I remember often seeing the dayman of the town driving his team about. He was a big strong man almost of middle age then, black haired, broad shouldered, hard mus cled. He lifted barrels and boxes about as if they had been a child’s building blocks. His wagon was new ly painted, and his horses were ao common animals. They were careful ly groomed, their sleek black coats shining in the sun. That was fifty years ago or more, und I had long ago let the memory of him pass from my mind. There was a news item in the local paper a few weeks ago which attracted my atten lion. The old drayman had been tuken to the poor house, it said. He was past ninety now, unable to work, not easy possibly to get on with, needing love ana care ana attention ana hav ing no one willing to give it to him. When lie had quit work a few years ago, so the story went, he had found himself amply provided for. lie had saved money, he still had his farms and his children in whom he was much interested, lie had faith in them and he decided to deed his property to them wldie he was still alive sure of being looked after as Inrig as he lived. This he did. Things changed then. Father was getting old and childish, It was said; It was almost Impossible to get on with tdm. Dr VV IVi. Ward DENTIST Roanoke Rapids, N. C. h.
