Since aba bad to kill somebody, what a pity it that K was not on of tha gossipers who died tinder the hammer! ! Tha Southern's argument is that it is so busy it just naturally cant keep off the crossings. Well, we all hope that it will continue to get busier and busier; but does as in crease ia the general prosperity of the section carry the corollary that in time Greensboro's streets will be blocked practically ail the time? If that is the cue; wftere docs the city get oft -.' ? V With, the Banner building, the Huntley-Stockton-Bill building, the American Exchange National bank, the . 0. Henry hotel and now the Jefferson Standard building all help ing the looks of- North Elm street. South Elm by contrast is looking mors and more like the Raggedy Man. If 'someone doesn't get a more on pretty, soon, that thorough fare will be outclassed. Thia from the Union Republican, of Winston-Salem, being the conclu sion of an editorial article of No rember S : "Here ia1 tha way the New York Tribune puts it: The public will be lucky if it escapes a period of carelessness and inefficiency in government, or worse, following a don't-give-e-darn election,' such as thia fall's seems - about to be. "Thanks for the ad", would be little enough in return, from the Tribune. High Point Enterprise: "There ' being no highway in the real sense - of the word between Greensboro and the Forsyth capital,' comments the Greensboro Daily News. The in- ference of course being that Greens boro folks don't like to pus through High Point" They do snd they don't Passing through High Point for the purpose of getting to Win ston-Sslem is a thing they are not particularly fond of or even pass ing through Mechanicsvflle,- Not to peak for all of Greensboro, some of us would much rather stop in High Point than pass through it; but after all there are lawful occasions and ' exigencies thst make necessary an occasional journey to the hyphenate town. Besides, a body feels it sort of incumbent to come in contact with the metrollopus from time to time. . This from the Lexington Dis patch; "It is gratifying to the friends of 1. F. Spruill that he won bis race without needing a majority In Guilford county, especially since the Greensboro papers had doted so much on the prospect that if he were elected Guilford would have to do it This is especially true in view of the uncalled for attack upon him after his election by the Greensboro News." The "attack" consisted in saying that Mr, Spruill had been guilty of an indecency in a cam ( palgn speech, which seemed entirely out of character for him; and the implication was that maybe he'd think it over and be careful in futilr. We have heard it said the Spruill performance would not have been regarded as indecent in David son, but we supposed that must be , slander on Davidson. Evidently, however, the Dispatch finds nothing PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE, Among the things that the coun try was told that it might expect when the Republican party took charge of the government two years ago was that the United States postal department should be oper ated for service rather than profit But it seems that all that fine start that Will Hays made while hs -was postmaster general in the way of bringing a better feeling into the service and a fuller co-operation among the employes was short lived. From all available reports, especial ly among the employes of the rail way mail service, the situation is worse today than it was under the Burleson administration. For. the cuts that have been made in the service, and the reduction of the number, of men on the R. P. 0. runs exceed those of the Burleson administration. In fact it was un der the Hitchcock administration that the cutting first started and thia was continued under Burleson who went so fsr there waa a reac tion and be loosened up toward the last of his term. Then the Hays administration Started, based upon the platform pledges of the Re publicans and everyone thought that better days .were upon us. But Mr. Hays retired for the motion picture business and Post master General Work took charge. Maybe it was the Hell and Maria Dawes budget business that has put Mr. Work to work, but anyway the pruning knife has been abroad in the land, and tuts have been made that have reduced the service below the Burleson low water mark. Maybe towards the next Presidential campaign the screws will be loos ened, but it is a fact that today the mail clerks have less space In which to work; fewer men to work the trains, and a volume of mail equal if not exceeding any in the post- office department's history. ' To keep history straight here's what the Republican Campaign Text Book of 1920 said about the Re publican attitude towards the postal service "The United Statea postal aenrloe should be operated for service rather than for profit. There la na true economy in destroying the efficiency of the poetofflce department by cur tailment oi the service It has hither to performed, or by failure to oroD erly compensate employes whose ex pert Knowledge le eaaenttal to the proper, conduct of -the affairs of the postal system. "The postal aervlca la at present materially below the Drooer stand- arda of efficiency. Some of the most Important probable causae are: "Excessive reduction of the railway poetoffloa service and corresponding reduction In the working of mail In transit. "Detention of mall In terminal sta tions and postofllcea while undergo ing or awaiting working. rneee commons proceed otrectty from tha policy adopted by the de partment In 1811. namely, the aban donment or curtailment. In order to reduce th coat or the postal estab lishment, of facilities -of proved ef ficiency, and the anbstltutloa there fore of other facilities and different methods" Is railway mail service In the south being sacrificed for the pneu matic tubes in New Tork city? IF THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM GIVES WAY. It is easier, says Mr. Gilbert, to see half a dozen parties in 1924 tban to see three.. Mr. Gilbert, by personal contact with men and events in Washington, has reached the conclusion to which the Daily News was driven some time since. If there is any sort of break-up of the two-party system, it will break into "many pieces. Mr. Gilbert finds that the pres ent "liberal V program consists of recognition of Russia, revision of the tariff downward, revision of the tax laws with a restoration of the excess profits tax, and revision of the Esch-Cummins law to- abolish the guarantee to the railroads and reduce freight rates. But he points out that the trouble with this pro gram as the basis of a third party is the fact that, with the exception of recognition of Russia, it is all ltAv4aAflf oajiJ T"- - J. .j " perfectly good Democratic doctrines or could be made so with trifling' I modifications. If a liberal party started out on that platform, it would instantly be swallowed by the Democracy. The -only basis for a split from the old parties would be on some such political-economic-social ques tion as that of labor. But if the abor people form a party of their own, the agrarians will follow suit; and there would be at least four parties, instead of three. At the moment there exists a farmer-labor combination that has actually elected a senator. But, the claims of labor leaders to the contrary net- withstanding, it is an unnatural, ar tificial combination, unable to with stand any severe strain. The farmer is a member of the capitalist, em ploying class quite as much as a member of the fraternity of labor. Many of the sacred precepts of organized labor are abhorrent to him. He will never stick long to s political party largelyvdominated by industrial labor. Nevertheless, the tendency is to divide along economic lines. The farm bloc will be more powerful in the next Congress than it was in the sat one. The labor vote coalesced in Indiana enough to defeat Bever- dge. The tendency to organize .political parties to .serve th needs of 'particular economic groups is plainly apparent. But there are many more than three such groups in the United States: so. if the two- partysysura goes down, we shall have, not three parties, but such an array of small groups, as makes up the French chamber of deputies. LAND BARON AND TENANT FARMER. The North Carolina club at Chape) Hill has turned its attention to the problem of farm tenancy ac cording to ' yesterday's paper, and we therefore look forward to some thing of interest on that subject in the News Letter before long. Ac cording to the newspaper story of the club's meeting, D. E. Scarbor ough, the' speaker of the evening, broached the subject of state aid to the farm tenant in the purchase of land. " He cited the experience of Denmark and in this country of California as Showing that it is sound business for the state to pur chase large tracts of lsnd, sub divide them, and resell, them to in dustrious farmers. Certainly there are few things of more importance to the future of North Carolina than the settlement, if settlement can be made, of the problem of farm tenancy. In east ern North Carolina especially we are drifting into a condition ap proximating that of Ireland before the passage of the land acta. An enormous area in the eastern part of the state is held . by absentee landlords, whose interest in the land is confined to the rents it can be made to produce under tenant farm ers. Many of these estates were in herited. . The owners live in tows and their sole effort to make a liv ing consists of the effort necessary to collect their rents. Obviously to have any consider able portion of the land in such hands is a menacing condition for any state to face. Much was made of the alleged oppression of the "po' farmer" by the revaluation of 1920; but as a matter of fact a great deal of the most frantic opposition to. that revaluation came from these land barons of the east If the lands were assessed for taxation at their real value, it would be neces sary to cultivate Jhem intelligently and intensively to make them profit able ; and intelligent, intensive culti vation never has resulted from the tenant system. Only the man who owns the land he tills gets out of it all that it is capable of producing. Only the man who tills the land he owns is entitled to consideration by the state as a sort of farmer who is adding materially to our agricul- tural wealth. Absentee landlords j may be able to live in princely style themselves; but as a rule their great estates are a source of weakness, not of strength, to the state. We hope that the North Carolina club will be able to bring to light the facts with regard to this, phase of farm tenancy. We believe that the truth about the feudal estates that are being built up in some sec tions of North Carolina" would startle the state, and perhaps set us on the path to solution of the moat dangerous economic factor in our rural life. ... WINTER RACES THE ROAD BUILDERS. Whatever hopes may have been entertained of a fin:'hed road be tween Greensboro a., J Mebane for this winter are glimmering out There is hardly chance for the completion of the Gibsonville road. But there is an even chance or better that the winter's traffic will have a hard road, with the exception of the hill at Haw river. The way they are building base nowadays it is about as good a surface as the older concrete; rides better, in fact than some of that It is getting well along towards December 15 when concrete and asphalt work is supposed to stop. The excavation of the two underpasses is to be let Uoday. There is a short section at . i a i . Rock creek upon which base has not been laid. If winter exercises its usual deliberation in clamping down, and if the excavation work goes well, the contractor should get these three pieces of base laid for the win ter travel. It is likely to be a rather close race between contractor and winter. With a phenomenally light winter the asphaftic topping might be finished before spring, between South Buffalo and Gibsonville; but that it will be finished is not within the probabilities. There is hardly any likelihood that the Trolling- wood-Mebane top will not be com pleted. Concrete contracts provide for cessation of work December 15 and resumption about the middle of April, but the only absolute rule is that of a day's temperature. With the thermometer at 45 and rising, in the morning, a state highway contractor may lay base that day, if he chooses; if the thermometer is stationary at 45 the chances are that work laid that day will be re jected, and time arid material wast ed. Contractors who keep their or ganizations intact through the winter count upon several spells warm enough to lay concrete, and this is warranted by average tem perature statistics. The compara tively late date when this sort of work is stopped by the weatherman the comparatively early opening in spring, together with the fact that grading operations can usually be carried on the greater part of the winter, -have been factors of large J importance in expediting North Carolina's building schedule. These factors have had their weight with scores of contractors whov have either come Into the state or tried to come in. AN IDEA BIG ENOUGH TO CARRY ITSELF. The universal conscription idea stood up well at the New Orleans convention of the American legion. The broadest declaration, says the Legion paper, the Stars and, Stripes, was that of a policy for "govern mental control of men, materials and prices in ease of war. This Stars and Stripes continues: In other words, the Legion reoords Itself aa demanding that for the next war we do not-limit ourselves to drafting men for the armtv We should also conscript men for all lines of labor at home, and materials, "whether required by the govern ment or by the civil population." Her then is the Legion's sug gested cure tor profiteering, for the high cost of war, and for th ex emotion of some wnrknre whtl nlh.ra are conscripted. Conscript all. and .i,cu iv.iBv-1 ipi ti material, or ox prices. Price, fixing In that would be practically eoual to con. scrlptlon, at least of all exces oroflts. It la a bis- nroa-ram. It is an Idea aa big as the nation, as un settling aa war Itself. . And in Its baslo idea. If not In detatla yet to be atUdied. It la fundamntnllw SAimrf m.do.t?oTJbr0r.',air JTa 'Sni"' . . : - . equality r ana talrnsss and, united la time of national emer sort gency. Some people will see la this pro gram a great vision of democracy become efficient and effective, of the nation thoroughly prepared for all emergencies, and thoroughly com petent to wage war If need be with the leaat possible cost, with the least possible upaettlng of tha status quo of domestic affairs. All of the man power of the country would be ap- Sortioned, at equalised wages, to uty either at the front or In the fields or in the factories. All of the material power needed for the war uses of the government would be Im mediately available at cost All other material wealth, needed for the life of the country, would be in stantly under control aa to price and aa to distribution. Profiteering would be unheard of. Tha nation would cease to consist of 100.DOu.000 Indlvldr oal self-seekers, and become a solid unit of 100,000,000 working to win the war. Certainly there is no flaw In th logic of such a plan. It not only of fers a great step toward that pre paredness which th legion and many others have sought, but It answers one of the pleas of the pacificists. It takes the profit out of war. If those who Imagine that war Is made for the benefit of the steel trust, are sincere In that belief, they will welcome this Idea of universal conscription of man hood and ef material. The idea Is so big that It will need much discussion before the nation Is ready to accept It It la well that it comes from a body Ilk the AmerleKn legion, which hsa the effective organ isation of 11.000 post by which It may be brougtif to the attention of the country and discussed with un derstanding. , One of two things might occur. The discussion might be developed into federal statute law, the policy of the country thus being fixed in anticipation of emergencies, in time of tranquillity, of cloudless national horizon. Or it might present to the public attention suddenly as Hd the selective service act, at an exigeant moment In the latter event the only thing necessary would be a general dis semination of the idea. If a maxi mum of the country's manpower were required for the various pur poses of war, a refusal of Congress to put in application thia universal conscription assuming that it was well understood by the people would be rash in the extreme. The selective service act was the crea tion of psychological genius; a colossal-success. It would hardly work that way a second time, simply because it did not go to the logical limit The American legion per ceives that it did not, and that is a body with 11,000 local organizations of the sprightlisr young minds of the it country, scattered throughout What these men see so clearly today the nation will perceive' to morrow. The selective service act was of hasty fabrication, and it ia characterized by the caution of ex periment This country need never ng.u anocner war witn an army brought into being by a hasty piece of congressional work; but even if it should, it will be necessary to recognize the large lessons of the past There would be a widespread reluctance to fight, under the former scheme, no matter how greatly the cause might appeal to patriotism. The Dally News has made no editorial comment on the McKenzie case since it spread a warning shortly after the man's arrest and Judge Collins is laboring under a misapprehension if he thinks that this paper criticized the sentence. Nevertheless, we are inclined to agree with the judge's suspicion that the man is mentally unbalanced; the pity is that the judge was unable, instead of sending him to the roads, to commit him to a hospital for ob servation. Until we make some such provision for these doubtful cases, North Carolina justice musH con tinue to be rather . a . hit-or-misa affair.

MORE THAR ie,oet0OO BOOKS Ensilsh Librarian Estimate Total Bound Volume la worio. (Continental Edition of London Mall.) Various estimates nave peen made. librarian writes, as to the total number of books Issued since th In vention of movable type, about 1484. They range from as high as 10,000,000 to as low aa 10,000,000. , One authority says that the ap proximate output In th fifteenth century was 40.000 volumes; In the sixteenth; ST,- volumesr-ln- the seventeenth, 1,250,000; In th eigh teenth, 2,000,000, and tn th nine teenth, 1,260,000, which brings the to tal at the beginning of th present century to 12.111,000 .separate books. To these might b added about 16.- 000,000 periodical publications, but these are excluded ' as not being books." i The experts differ again as to th present yearly output, but a mini mum estimate glvea 263,000 volumes. For the last twenty-two years the average work out at approximately 100,000 valumes each year, or a total of 4,400,000 since 1000. This raises th grand total of th books In the world todsy (exclusive of manuscripts and local, official and ephemeral publications) to more than 16.800,000. f this enormous output It can safely be said that not more than (0,000 ar worth preserving perma nently.

"BVLL" AND "BEAR" lit 1T44 "Selling the Bear Skin Before One Has Bowa-kt tk Bear." (Detrolt News) So well established hav the terms "bull" and "bear" become that they ara defined even In the least oolloqulal of dictionaries aa "one who speculates or wages upon a rise In stocks" and "one who speculates or wagea en a fall." Th commonly accepted sxplana Hon .of th us of th term foi merly was that the bear clave oi pulls th stock downV while th bull tosses It up, as It were, on his horns. . But' this is really nothing more than a guess, and th real origin of th phrase "bull and bear" la burled somewhere In the early history of the British Stock Exchange. Here It appeara that the - earliest us of the Idea was In the proverb about "selling the bear skin before on has caught the bear," which was applied to all transactions on th exchange or elsewhere wnere there was no Immediate transfer of goods, but only a payment to be mad at som future time according as th goods had advanced or re ceded In price. In "The Anatomy of Chang Alley," published la 1711, occurs ths sentence: - ' "Those who buy Exchange Alley bargains are styled buyers of bear skins," and In 1744 th terms appear to hav come Into common usage, for the London Magaslna of that year refers to "bulls and bears,' while Oeorge Coleman, In hla "Man of Business," uses them In precisely the same sense In. which they . ar employed at tha present time.

He had at his tempi a "celestial bad" which, If a sick person slept In it, was advertised to be a surs cur. This wonder-working plsc of fur nltur was made by one Denton on Dr. Oraham s order. It was beauti fnllv carved, covered with silk dam ask, supported by twenty-eight glsss pillars, and surmounted by a richly carved and gilt canopy from which th crimson curtain with frtng and tassels were suspended. In his advertisement he claimed: "This bed Is magnotlco-electrlc. In a neighboring closet Is plaoed a cylinder by which I communicate celestial fire to ths bed chamber, that fluid whloh animates and vivi fies all." 11 charged admission to see the bed.
