"Your Young Men Shall See Visions" If The Star's Raleigh correspondent has cor rectly analyzed the situation in the legislature and , has drawn therefrom" a sound forecast of what this session will do, the general assembly of, 1921 will mark the end of an epoch, and the beginning of a newer day. In his story yesterday Mr. Powell described a gathering storm which may sweep out of the law making body the potent influence for shaping eg- . Islation that has for years decreed that North Carolina shall creep along from year to year, cau- " tious and conservative, lest the prestige and the power of the dominant party's bellwethers be lost in art upheaval among the taxpayers. "Pay as you go and if you can't pay, don't go," has been the 6logan these many years. But times have changed and the men who have not changed with them are due for a fall, whether they get it in "this session or the next one. , We would not disparage that generation of party leaders who threw themselves into the great fight twenty-odd years ago and wrested the government - of this state from as disgraceful regime as ever lorded it over an American commonwealth. They served their day and generation well and have brought the state now to a point where they can " well afford to turn it over to younger hands and brains, to younger men who can see visions and who are filled with the aggressive spirit of prog- ' ress and achievement." The people no longer mark a man for destruc- Occupation, Please! ; If the present tendency to collect statistics and then to make deductions continues, the answer you give to the question "Occupation?" when you are haled before the court may acquit or condemn you, on statistical, J f not on more competent, evi deuce. John T. Lyons, Secretary of State of New York, has grouped the 31,062 men and thej,773 women convicted last year, in courts of record according to their professions. Some rather startling conclusions are reached, as one learns, among other things, that the supposedly inoffen sive clerk ranks with the lordly chauffeur as top notcher among offenders. . Chorus "girls, whom' , sedate folk enjoy thinking of as utterly hopeless, collide less frequently with the law than members of many highly respectable occupations. Whiie only one chorus girl came , to grief In 1920, 79 cooks, 83 domestics, 17 housekeepers, four laundresses, 3 milliners, 5 seamstresses, 4 teach ers, 89 waitresses and 18 stenographers were con victed. As evidence that knowing the law does not mean that one always obeys it, .we find that 4 lawyers, 1 law clerk, 1 process server, 4 policemen, 2 patrol men, and 1 detective .failed "to follow their own teachings." Perhaps it was a case of familiarity breeding contempt, or it may be that the ease with which "crime wave" participants escaped encour aged Police Commissioner Enright's force to try something for themselves. To those who resent the editorial attitude of moralizing, it may be significant news that one editor was haled before the courts. He is assured professional companionship by the fact that . a publisher, a reporter, a correspondent, and an ad vertising writer each suffered the same fate. Lest newspapermen be too puffed up over the honesty of their craft, however, it is stated that 10 press men and 76 printers got into trouble. Some of our fondest delusions are shattered: piano-movers; freight-handlers and hackmen are very good according to Mr. Lyons.

The people who love the world as it is are afraid that the Church will apprehend Christ New York needs a bishop who will go forward penniless to seek Him. New York has not expressed a desire for such a bishop. New York would be panic-stricken should God send him to her. . ; - : .

Upon the ques they not only recognize the great. need for a better tion of German disarmament, the English Premier chance at an education tot' the' boys and girls or cpoke in a manner which the French are already North Carolina, but that theydemand a stronger calling pro-German. He declined to giye a definite system of public schools and a system of state col-" decision until the Germans might have an onDOr- t - i mm leges with the venerable university at its head, that is amply able to take and educate the ever swelling numbers of brightyouths who would" seek the tablelands of knowledge We believe the peo ple want all their state institutions put upon a . broad basis with facilities for caring for the un fortunates of every class. We are no longer the Rip Van Winkle of the states. We are no longer a poverty-stricken people buying every manufac tured article' from distant markets. We are no longer a one-horse agricultural state scratching a bare living out of a starving soil with- a bull tongue plow. North Carolina has become an im perial commonwealth, with immense wealth achieved, standing in the dawn of illimitable de velopment, and certainly the time has come for setting aside millions for roads, millions for edu cation, millions for every state need. if Raleigh news is to be believed, the younger blood In the general assembly has grasped the situation, feels the necessity of North Carolina waking up and doing big things, sees the vision 'of a greater and grander community, and is deter mined that no longer shall hidebound politics and political expediency govern the commonwealth and condemn progress to halt on palsied feet. With great regard and appreciation for the men of the elder day, .we will welcome the younger apostles tunity to present their side of the case. He de clared in addition . that the Germans had shown good faith since the conference at Spa last July, when they received the ultimatum on disarming. It can be imagined that such talk hardly pleased Briand, who held that Germany had been most grudging in the fulfillment of the military terms of the treaty, and that whatever It had done by way of keeping its word was directly due to the pressure which had been exerted. He stood out against having any further explanations 1 from Germany with reference to the connection between disarmament and the domestic situation. ' ' It is reported that. France has the i support of Belgium in her attitude of compulsion, while Eng land is backed by Japan and Italy. This align ment is likely to continue throughout. the confer ence. It will have a serfolls bearing when the question of reparations is taken up, for on this point Lloyd George is thought 'to be even more moderate than with respect to disarmament. Eng lish public opinion has strongly turned to a modi fication of rigid exactions. The -prospect is that of a stern and prolonged contest between George and.-Briand. So intent are they, apparently, upon this fight that they have declined to, give any- thougfit to the requirements of Austria. They have postponed action touching 1 - THE CRITIC AS DRAMATJST New York Evening Post:? If Miss Perry wrote .a epic, J. Berg Esenwein, a book of short stories, and Prof. Wilbur Cross a novel, a joyful public would rise to point out how much the instructor needed instruction. In this mood thousands ot amateur playwrights who have read William Archer's "Play-Making" and theatrical criticisms have doubtless awaited production of his play ziere. France, where emaitre's first and chief , fame was won as critic and Richepin was a jour nalist before he reached the managers, could snow a longer, list of such graduates from damatic crit icism to ;. dramatic composition. There is more than one reason why many critics of the theatre H are to Be found some time or other crossing tne line that separates them from the playwright They are less likely to have the academic stamp, more likely to be practical men of the world, than professional critics of novels orpoetry. Play writ- tne has a SDecial lure. It looks easy. Arnold Ben nett has said it actually is twice as easy as novel . writing. Critics are among the first to discount a critical knowledge of the drama as an equipment for high success in play making. Sheridan himself made no crueller fun of them in "The Critic" than did Shaw in "Fanny's First Play." More seriously, Shaw in the preface to -"Plays for Puritans" set down his -opinion that a knowledge of form and technique can not carry the would-be dramatist far. Dramatic form changes lfttle frem age to age, and reasonable expertness isexpected, while marked originality is impossible. ;The originality and power must lie In a new philosophy and a new knowledge and view of life, adapted to old dra matic vehicles. Others of the present day have said with equaL emphasis that the. best lessons In dramaturgy come v from the broad world, not the narrow stage. Sir John Ervine defines the worst failure in play writing as the man who goes into the 'theatre and never comes out The accomplished critic or erudite student knows very well what not to do. He must not make this error In motive or that error in construction. But no knowledge "of unities or conventions, laws Of taste, form, or illusion can tell him, when he sits down with inkpot and white paper, what to do. His very proficiency in negatives may seriously inhibit his positive, constructive impulses. Spir itual urgency v a vigorous imagination, a true in stinct for character and emotion are what make the dramatist. A professional critic is no more likely or unlikely to have them than any one else of Intelligence and education. v ' -THE BOY CALLED BAD Ohio State Journal: Mr. Amunson, prominent in Boy ScojiJ, work, is probably right in a general way when he says there is, no such thing as a'nat-. orally bad boy. Heredity must be accorded Its influence and doubtless there are some degenerate and criminal boy minds whpse unhappy proclivi ties can not-be corrected but in the main badness, as the scout worker says, is merely high spirits and mischievousness, If the so-called bad boy's abounding energies conld only be turned into proper channels, their full measurd in itself would make a useful citizen of him. Perhaps the most pitiful thing in the world is the so frequent lack of intelligent guidance for lively boys and girls which permits them to grow up into trifling or wicked men, women and citi zens. They might have been saved so easily. A wise, kind word at a critical moment from some one he likes and respects often changes the whole, current of a child's life and ultimately makes a good man of him when the lack' of it would have caused him to drift into worthlessn ess. What an unceasing demand for -devotion and wisdom on the part of parents! And in the teacher's case how infinitely more important are sympathy and per sonality thanjnere learning, v . " ' ' o ' . Letters to the Editor Daily. Health Talks By William Brady, M. D. . GALLSTONE COLIC , Periodic seizures of biliary or gall stone tcoUc occur in cases of gallstone disease only when a stone happens to leave the sallsac and find its.way into gallduct or tube which conveys the the gall or bile "from the little sac to the main bile canal leading from liver to -bowel.. Jaundice, developing the day after such a colic, occurs only when the stone has - passed through the . gallsac Suet int'o the main bile canal, thus obstructing the flow of bile from Mver to bowel. It will there fore be understood that neither attacks of. colic nor jaundice may be noticed in many cases of unquestionable gall stone disease.. These are both rathet accidents than incidents of gallstone disease. , . When colic does occur, it is a shock ing experience in the literal sense of the word shocking. The seizure un ually sets in with abrupt agonizing pa'in near or below" the right ribs or about the pit of the stomach (tip of the breastbone or wishbone) or perhaps felt to extend to the lower abdomen or up-toward the . right shoulder. It is- no ordinary; " what's-your-opinion-aboulNthis. Doctor, sort of pain. It is a regular roaring ' goshamighty-hurry-up-and-gimme-somethlng agony. The difference between pain and agony is that one with pain may still be a philosopher. The stock pro duces a cold, clammy sweat, weakness of pulse, pallor, . and often a chill. This : chill ds not-"-? merely a feature of the. colic; if the ' temperature is taken in the course of the "chill it is usually found Well iabove normal, which suggests that the chill is a sign of bacterial Infection the scraping and scratching of the delicate - bile duct lining by tthe stone, opening: the way for a sudden dose of germs for the system. Another effect of the shock of gall stone colic is the nausea and vomiting which usually accompany the ; attack. And whether or not bile appears in V the.jwaterial vomited is of no moment ax an, so lar as convicting or acquit ting the liver and its machinery may be concerned. . : At! attack of gallstone colic lasts from a few hours to several days. Palpitation or other distress about the heart may accompany the attack. Indeed, many a stout woman of forty or theHabout blames ler heart and "that gas" for trouble really caused by gallstone disease- The day after gallstone colic there is often noticed more or less jaundice. Etaining of the whites of the eyes, tha lining of the. Hps and the skin with bilo. This happens only when the flow of bile from liver "to intestine is more or less obstructed, perhaps not more than one in every three caseB. Heat is the first aid for such a seiz ure.

ANSWER Maybe It isn't so remark able in one of our sex. but where is the member of the other sex who can match the record?. The : average healthy adult can hold his breath about 40 to 45 seconds without preparation. An . investigation of A. Mitchell Palmer, which, according to Samuel Untennyer; will disclose "a series of the most gratifying scandals that have ever befallen this country," is demand ed by the latter and seconded by the former. t Now, the American . press echoes this demand, some wrlterswith the assurance that -the Attorney-General will be completely vindicated and others already convinced that Ms con fuct of -the Department of Justice or as ' Alien Property Custodia, or both, was anything -but correct. , "With Mr. Palmerlitttiself requesting an investigation-of the Department-of Justice during" his incumbency," ; says the Springfield Republican (Ind.), "The Senate Judiciary should not hesitate," and, vtheVpaper adds, "whatever it in veatigatest the Seriate-committee should not neglect the office of the alien property custodian, particularly in the period 'When - Mr. Palmer was ''at! the head qf it." This step should be taken, the; New York Evening Post (Jnd.) be lieves, "in justice ; to Palmer himself, in justice to his accusers, and, as the brief against-him-argues, for the pu? pose of ,; determining precedent on the whole vital question of civic liberties under war-time conditions." The Ok lahoma CIty.Oklahomari(Dem.) quotes Palmer's, statement that lawyers for "deported" and "enemy" aliens are at the bottom of the charges against him. It continues: - "Similar attacks which have been made upon him before, especially In his conduct of the office of alien prop erty custodian, have proven without foundation. However, the truth or falsity of the new charges should be established. Mr. Palmer's accusers should be made to put up -or shut up. If the attorney-general is not guilty of any wrong-doing, he is entitled to a vindication. If .he is guilty the pub lic should have the facts." The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette (Dem.) carefully points out that if Mr. Palmer "used or misused" his powers, It wa sin. no way the fault of the Democratic party and adds that since "many millions, were involved" in the alien property transactions "it is in evitable that he should be hated." While no one "would defend the alien property custodian if he is guilty as Untermyer intimates," the Journal Gazette adds that "perhaps a barrel 4 of -salt should be taken with all the charges." Still more enthusiastic ap proval of Air. .Palmer, "who should have gratitude, not- criticism, comes from the New Tork Mail (Ind.). It I says in his defense: "However detached from the reali ties of actual life a. limited number of academic gentlemen may be, they must allow the rest of us the privilege of believing that a very short shift in deed is due to the criminal anarchist whether he has actually- consumated his crime or is merely making prepara tion for it. If Mr. Palmer erred at all it was in his scrupulous regard for respecting all the rights which any Just interpretation of the law might give these outlaws. Mor6 especially whn we remember that one of their bombs meant for himself, barely missed its mark." Unless Mr. Untermyer can "produce some new and startling evidence"- the Washington Post (Ind.) declares that the Attorney General need only pro duce the record of the hearing before 4.1 C1 1. . ! 11 . .

European News and Views By WILLIAM IVY European Correr?iident of The Morn ing Star ' LONDON", Jan. 27. One Nwho visits London after spending months on the continent of Europe is struck by the greater vitality, stamina, power, of the British nation. To use a word that gained currency during the war, the morale of the British is higher than that of the French, or the Germans, -or the Italians. In a certain sense this has always been true. Long before the war. Hen ry Van Dyke made a striking compari son when he' said: "Oh, -London Is-a man's town, there's pqwer in the air. "And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair." But in that comparison, honors were easy, while" today , one cannot pretend that there Is any quality possessed by the continental nations that offsets the morale. of England. I wonder if apybody has suggested the. fact that jiationaf. morale in the world today. iuns parallel ;to-, the ex change rate? Go to Germany, where the currency is worth about one-twentieth of ., its nominal -gold -? value, and you find the . people listless, broken, suibdued. In France, where money Is four or five times as strong, the spirit of the inhabitants is correspondingly firmer. But It leaves much to Jbe de sired in comparison with England. To tell just wherein this-higher mo rale reveals itself is hard, because it is a thins that . one instinctively, .feels rather than sees. But the publicvserv ices raih-oatls. telegraphs, etc. offer an illustration. In France they are not only rather down at the-Jieel as far as material and equipment are concerned, with, dirty, out-of-repair railway cars and unswept emergency, offices, but the employes are'lax as to discipline, ear less, slow, irritable, often inpol; Once in England you note a sprightli air, the equipment, . if not now, I? least alean and well-kept, and then ployes are ref reshintrlv attend obliging and cheerful. ' This close parallel between exchan values and morale suggest that ro rale ought to be regarded, and l parently is In fact, one of the pfM of a nation's assets. I know somec! is-likely to' say that if French mora. and French exchange are lower if fact that Fra.nco was invaded andnv of her territorv laid waste.
