LANGUAGES . . . problems
The people of the. world sjwak
2,796 different languages, accord
ing to an estimate made, by the
French Academy. The time may
never come when all people will
speak the same language, but I
can think of nothing which would
do more to avert international
misunderstandings than for all
people to speak the same tongue.
The North American continent
the United States and Canada
? is the largest area in t>he world
where practically everybody
speaks one language. In all the
South and Central American coun
tries but one, the white popula
tion speaks one language, Span
ish. But a large part of the po-i
pulation of South America con
sists of Indians who speak their
native tongues, and in Brazil, the,
largest of the nations to the South
of us, the national language is
Portuguese.
Several attempts have been
made to invent) a universal langu
age. One of them, Esperanto, has
come into considerable use for in-!'
ternational business correspond- , 1
ence, but English and Spanish are 1
spoken and understood by more
people than any other tongues.
RACES differences '
i
Different races of people have;
different ideas and points of view. ,
even though they speak t-he same ,
language. The principal differ- 'j
ences are in their moral concepts. ,
The standards of the Japanese ,
people are so different from those ,
?of the rest of the world's peoples j
that unless they are changed, Ja- (
pan will always be a source of |
potential danger. ^ (
The Japanese, as a people, are (
firmly convinced that they are su- j
perior to all other races. That idea ,
is based upon their implicit belief
that the Mikado partakes of the (
nature of God, and that they live j
under the shadow and direct guid- ,
ance of Divinity. Whatever they 1
do as a nation, therefore, is right,
and no other nation has any rights
which they need to respect.
It is less than a century since .
Japan was jolted out of its isolat-1
ed barbarism by Commodore i
Perry's fleet. In a hundred years I
the Japanese have_Jearped how
to compete slirSWTfiy with the rest
of the world in industry and com- ,
merce, but it will take many gen
erations befofe they develop
standards of morals and honor
such as to entitJe them to the
confidence of the rest of the
world.
DEMOCRACY r . . liberties
It takes hundreds of years for
any nation or group of people to
learn how to govern themselves.
That is proved by the whole course
of human history. It takes only a
couple of generations for a self- j
governing people to be reduced to
servitude to a ruler or a govern
ment. That, too, is history.
There is always a large percent
age of any group of human beings
who place ar higher value on pres
ent material welfare than they do
on their inherent human rights to
freedom of action, thought and
speech. Every failure of democracy
since time began, and there have
been many of them, has been
brought about by promises and
gifts of material benefits, for ;
which the mass of the people have1
been willing to pay by surrender
ing their liberties.
Sooner or later, those nations
which have yielded to that sort of
spiritual slavery have revolted,
and overthrown their rulers. They
have kept their liberty until some
great economic depression tempt
ed them to tolerate once more the
domination of ambitious leaders.
? ? ?
GOVERNMENT . infringements
Every formal organization of in
dividuals for a common purpose
calls for compromises in which all
must surrender certain rights for
the benefit of the group as a
whole.
It is an axiom laid down by
the founders of the United States
that the best government is that
which governs the least. Great
pains were taken by the statesmen
who drew tip our Constitution and
the Bill of Rights, that in organiz
ing the new nation to accomplish j
things which called for united ac- i
tlon, there should be the least
possible infringement of Individ- ,
ual rights. The less government
the better.
Under the pressure of changing
methods of business and trans
portation, laws were made to regu
late many things which did nob
require regulation in the early
days. Gradually one group or la- I
tereet after another began to de- j
mand laws for their apeclal bene- I
fit, until the American people I
came to look upon Government J
?ot aa something of their own I
creation but as an impersonal I
power which could confer or'Vfth- 1
hold benefits at will. To me, the (
Target Of Irate Traffic Violator

ville (Tenn.) Journal, standing at rear of the city jail where he was
fired upon by E. McNew, a political leader and head of a bonding
firm bearing his name, white circles mark where two of the bullets
struck while Jones took pictures. McNew was arrested for driving
while intoxicated and other traffic violations.
greatest danger America faces to
day is the growth and acceptance
of that point of view.
? ? ?
LAWS restrictions
Every law is restrictive of some
human liberty. That is too often
overlooked, by legislators as well
as by those whose liberties are re
stricted by laws. We have far too
many laws on the statute books.
[ have greati sympathy with the
program proposed by Represents-;
:ive Bruce Barton that Congress i
should repeal a law a day.
I have urged readers of this col
umn before, and I repeat the~ad
nonition, that they ought to read
ind re-read the Bill of Rights,
which comprises the first ten
imendments to the Federal Con
stitution. It lists ten classes of
aws which the states are forbid-'
ien to enact. Indeed, except for
:he details of Governmental ma
shiriFy ti-hirh 11 rmtnjg. the whole
Constitution is an enumeration ofi
laws which neither Congress nor
the states may enact.
Many legal restrictions upon in
dividual liberties are necessary, if
people are to be prevented from
infringing on the rights of other
people. But that should be the sole!
purpose of law? to preserve and
protect the rights of every person.
New Type
Machines
, Raleigh. July 11. ? Continuingi
to keep abreast of modern im
provements in the textile indus
try, the Textile School of North
Carolina State College has com
pleted installation, of a large num
ber of new-type machines design
ed to prepare the student for bet
ter service when he takes his:
place in industry.
Prof. T. R. Hart, veteran mem
ber of the Textile School faculty,
said today the addition of 14 re
cently-installed looms, coupled
with the new looms and winding
equipment purchased la&t year,
gives the State College Textile
School "a weave room unsurpassed
by any other institution in Ameri
ca."
New equipment also has been
added to the knitting, dyeing and
yarn manufacturing departments,
he reported.
Figures released by Prof. Hart
reveal the Textile School has en
joyed its fastest growth during
the past decade. In this period
the school has been nearly 100
per cent successful in placing its
graduates in jobs.
Since the first textile diploma
was awarded in 1901, State Col
lege has conferred degrees upon
662 textile graduates. Over 500,'
or approximately 78 per cent of
all t'he living graduates are now
filling responsible positions in
nearly every phase of the textile
industry in the United States and
a half dozen other countries.
In only two years has the Tex
tile School failed to place all its
graduat-es by commencement, Prof.
Hart, reported. The term Just
ended, with the largest graduating
class in the history of the school,
saw three-fourths of the 68 seniors
placed in jobs before they received
their degrees, and inquiries from
manufacturers indicate the re
mainder will be situated in a short
time.
Enrollment in the Textile
School has nearly tripled in the
last few years, rising from 135
students in 1931-32 to 372 in
1937-38. The enrollment of resid
ent textile students is the largest
in America.
The more than 600 textile
plants in North Carolina "average
from one to a dozen jobs to which
college men might aspire", de
clared Prof. Hart in stressing the
opportunities in the textile field.

North Carolina produced more

Port Chester, N. Y? July 9. ? |
Associate Justice Benjamin Na
than Cardozo of the United States!
Supreme Court died tonighb^rom j
the chronic hear,t ailment that!
forced him to , abandon active"
work on the bench last December.
The end came at' 6:40 p. m., at
the home of his friend, Judge Ir
ving Lehman of the New York
State Court of Appeals. Judge
Lehman and Joseph Rauh, secre
tary to Cardozo, were at the bed
side.
The 68-year-old jurist was con
scious to the last, but did not
speak.
He came here last April to re
cuperate at the Lehman estate
and made favorable progress un
til a week ago, when the effects of
a hot spell that sapped his
strength became noticeable and he
was placed under an oxygen tent-.
He (lipped slowly and this af
ternoon became dangerously weak.
Shortly after 6 p. m. he suffered
the fatal seizure.
Cardozo was elevated to the
Supreme bench when the late Jus
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes re
signed in January, 1932, and was
immediately linked with the so
called liberal group ? t-hen a mi
| nority.
The others were Justices Har
| lan F. Stone and Louis D. Bran
deis.
No Protests
His appointment was notable in
i that it was one of the few that did
not raise any wave of objections
| from any quarter. The appoint
ment was made by President
! Hoover, with the recommenda
tions of Senators William E. Bo
rah of Idaho, and Robert F. Wag
j ner of New York.
Long before the resignation of
Holmes, Cardozo's name had been
linked with his, both as to inter
pretation of law and judicial phil
osophy. Cardozo, then a judge of
the Court of Appeals in New York
state, was known throughout the
[Country for his liberal exposition
