GUILFORD'S COUNTY HOME, j
Tb completion and delivery to
the county authorities of the new
Guilford county home is a note
worthy occasion in the history of
Guilford.' This institution has been
rescued from the catalogue of hor
rors, and now becomes the pride of
the citisenry. Architect and build
ers have done an excellent job; and
the group of buildings east of the
city is as far at possible from being
suggestive of poverty, ignorance
and squalor which far too often in
the past have been the 'most con
spicuous characteristics of county
homes. On the other hand, the
Guilford county buildings are ex
pressive of dignity, grace and ease;
not at all magnificent, they are
nevertheless comfortable, clean and
beautiful, and the eye of the trav
eler along the highway in front of
them rests upon them with pleasure.
The new county home, cost the
county (166,000. But the money
went into providing space and con
veniences. The size of the build
ings and the excellence of their
plumbing, lighting and heating ar
rangements account for every cent
The beauty cost nothing beyond the
exercise of judgment necessary " to
the selection of a competent archi
tect Yet for one passer-by who will
find out and admire the excellence
of the construction in such matters
as plumbing, lighting, heating and
arrangement the things that really
cost there will be a thousand who
will comment on the beauty of the
structures from the outside.
And the county that can take
pride in the beauty, as well as the
utility, of its public buildings, can
count on impressing the state with
its spirit of progress. For it is a
sign of progress when we goN be
yond the obvious necessities of the
moment, and endeavor to make the
instrumentalities of our public life
something more than bare necessi
ties, something better than the abso
lute minimum that common de
cency compels us to provide, mak
ing of them things that contribute
to our common life more than the
food, clothing and shelter essential
to its sustenance.
TRY IT AGAIN.
The general assembly should en
act bill for a constitutional refer
endum to be submitted at the elec
tion of 1924 whereby the pay of
legislators would be increased from
$4 to $10 per dienn, and the safest
way would be to get at it as soon
aa the session begins.
The members-elect cannot say at
that time whether their own services
are going to be worth f 10 a day to
tne state, but.n all probability they
will They will be worth that much
if they are worth anything at alL
(But the new members know very
well that the last general assembly
was worth $10 per day per member
to the state, and that the average
assembly serves its state with rea
sonable degree of industry, of wis
dom, and of fidelity, and its mem-
bert should therefore be paid a -rea
sonable sura for their services. Time
was when the railroad and other
corporations stood willing to make
up to any member at least a part
01 tne difference between loss and
profit on his time spent at Raleigh.
We are glad to believe that sucfi in
vestment by corporate interesta is
no longer considered necessary, or
especially profitable. It is greatly
to be hoped it never again will be
so considered eitner necessary or
profitable.
The members who served hitherto
would say with practical unanimity
that the per diem ought to be as
much as $10. With practical unani-!
mtty, also, the increase has been in
dorsed by the press of the state.
This is both a moral and an eco
nomic issue, and as a general thing
the press Reflects the conclusions of
the best (thought of the state on
both moral and economic issues:
especially where party politics is not
involved.
Then, how to bring the thing to
the effective attention of the voters
would still be the' question. It is
assumed, although no analysis has
been seen of the vote by which the
amendment was defeated last week,
that the farmers were hostile to it,
or indifferent, which amounts to the
tame thing.
First, it would seem to be in
order, next time, to isolate the
pleted we should begin planting
trees and link our towns from sea
coast to mountains with an avenue
of trees so wonderful that North
Carolina will be renowned for her
splendid roads and beautiful ave
nues of trees. These trees will be
a monument to the women s clubs
of North Carolina. This work can
not be done in a year or two years,
but should be started this fall."
Mrs. Noble further records as a
fact that the planting of the Winston-Salem
Women't club's crepe
myrtles and sugar maples along
route 60 between Winston-Salem
and the junction of the Greensboro
and High Point roads has been com
pleted, the granite memorial at the
junction having been unveiled with
appropriate ceremonies on Armis
tice day. This is being called, at
present "the memorial highway be
tween Winston-Salem and High
Point," there being no highway in
the real sense of the word between
Greensboro and the Forsyth capi
tal; but that is another story.
The task which Mrs. Marks has
outlined is a gigantic one, and will
cost a lot of money. The women's
clubs could have no finer material
monument, and in thus beautifying
the highways the state is building
they should have the co-operation
of all forces that are working for
emc and cultural advancement

We confess that our information

inclined to congratulaU Delaware
on his election, because that means
the defeat of one of the family of
Dupont The state of Delaware

It may be' that the Dupohts are
excellent people, and that Senator
T. Coleman Dupont ia a statesman
of ability. We do not know. But
we do know that they have too
much money for their appearance in
politics to be in good taste. No
matter bow honest a Dupont may
be, his election to public office in
Delaware casts on that state suspi
cion that the election has been
bought If the Dupont were both
patriot and people of keen tensibil
hies, they would realize that fact
and would bevunwilling, for their
own glorification, to bring their
state under suspicion. Since they
are not patriots and persons of keen
sensibilities, it is a good thing that
the electorate of Delaware ha
taken occasion to give there a sharp
reminder that possession of most of
the property in a state does not nec
essarily mean possession of the peo
ple of that state.
This will be a good thing for

"Dust, the American novel on the

Dr. Sherman holds that the Nor
wegian novelist hit allowed hit
eyes to be blinded by his own ro
mantic fancies, and that the Ameri
cans have looked the facta in the
face. Therefore the work of the
Norwegian will never lead to a re
volt against the hollownes of an
animal-like existence, while the
work of the American it an active
part of that very revolt' Conse
quently he sees more hope in the
pessimistic American book than in
the cheerful Norwegian on.
This is the explanation of the im
mense success of such books as Sin

"Babbitt," of Zona Gale' . '"Miss

"Cytherea," of Charlet G. Norris'

that ther will'b revolt against
that sort, of life which will even
tually make it beautiful, clean, in

sure; but no surgical operation was
ever performed without an incision

healthy tissue that is destroyed,
however, is trifling by comparison
with the diseased matter that the
operation ia intended to remove.
