Carolina Watchman Published Every Friday Morning At SALISBURY, NORTH CAROLINA E. W. G. Huffman, — Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES Payable In Advance One Year-$1.00 Three Years-$2.00 Entered as second-class mail matter at the postoffice at Sal isbury, N. C., under the act of March 3, 1879. The influence of weekly news papers on public opinion exceeds that of all other publications in the country.—Arthur Brisbane. FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1933 CALVIN COOLIDGE The place of Calvin Coolidge in American history is as secure as the granite hills of New England. No American of his time was more true to the tradition of the rigidly honest, shrewd, far seeing, courageous and competent pioneer spirjit that carved the Republic from the wilderness. He rose from the soil to the Presidency by slow and sure steps. His whole lifetime was one of devotion to the work in hand. mere are tew more amazing chapters in American history than the career of this remarkable son of New England. There was none of the glamor of the popular lead er about him. He never courted applause nor dazzled the multi tude. He had few of the gifts that mark the genius. And yet, he ap pealed to the hearts of the people to a greater degree than any A merican since Lincoln. The secret of his success was a simple one—character. This quiet, serene, silent New Englander relied on the simple vir tues of his Vermont heritage for guidance. He brought to the Presidency the plain common sen se, the desire for orderly living, the prudence and the sagacity in finance, the love of the soil and the passion for even-handed jus tice that we like to believe is typi _caLof New England. * . ... .. .. in me turmoil mat ionoweu the World War the coming of Calvin Coolidge to the Presidency was like a great healing spirit. A merica needed to be reminded of the things it had forgotten amid he rush and clamor of a changing world. As no other man could, Calvin Coolidge restored the coun try to a realization that there still Ifefxisted the old traditions which had built a great nation And, yet, he conducted no cru sade. He issued no ringing call to arms. He did not dramatize him self as the popular leader. He was just himself—the calm, efficient, resolute adminstrator, indifferent alike to praise or blame, doing the day’s work in the spirit of faith ful service to the American peo ple. He put aside ambition when he considered his work done. No one doubts that he could have been tri umphantly reelected in 1928 to * complete a record of service great er than any American President. Not even Washington was surer of the endorsement of a great^ful public. When he, with such quiet dig nity, slipped into private life, he , had won the complete trust and confidence of the American people. Could any man have a finer epi taph? A simple man—but a great one. He will live in history as in life— an example of American charac ter at it’s finest. A NEW SORT OF LEASE The announcement that one of the largest retail stores in New York has signed a lease which pro vides that the yearly rental of its premises shall be based on a per centage of its gross sales is an in dication of how rapidly this new idea of rental basis has gained ground in New York. Many lines of business are now operating under such leases. A large New York bank, which has recently moved to new quar ters, pays a rental of one per cent on the average net deposits up-to $1,000,000 and one-quarter of one per cent on all deposits in excess of that amount. Some gasoline service station leases are based upon a rental of from one to two cents on each gal lon of gasoline sold and two cents on each quart of oil. Several theatre leases are based on net profits. A typical one calls for $18,000 per year plus one-third of the net profits up to $30,000. All these leases, naturally, pro vide for some minimum guarantee for the landlord for otherwise he might be taking too big a chance. There are various protective clauses to meet changing condi tions in many cases. A large rest aurant under one of New York’s biggest moving picture theatres provides that in case of the repeal of the prohibition amendment, giv ing the restaurant the right to sell liquor, the rent will be tripled. These illustrations show how the trend in buisness real estate is to ward the parital participation oi the landlord in the business. It is probably an outgrowth of the high rent situation in the retail districts of the city. A POLICE RECORD A most amazing police record was announced the other day in New York. An officer 28 years on the force retired and disclosed that during all that time he had made only one arrest. The single transgressor to feel the iron hand of the law was guilty of drunken ness. In these days of bandity and au tomobile violations it hardly seems possible that a policeman can avoid making arrests of some sort. Some criminologists tell us that crime is not increasing, yet our jails are well filled. However, if it contin ues as rampant as it is at present, it is most unlikely that any offi cer will in the next 28 years in any big city, have such a record. Arrest must be made if the guilty are to be punished. MOUNTAINS ON THE MOVE Uneasy mounains in France and Switzerland, not volcanoes but ap parently solid masses of earth and rock that seemed to be trying to move to another location, have in terested scientsts. Now from Colo rado comes a report that the United States also has a troublesome moun tain. Like the restless hills of Europe, this Colorado peak is being distur bed by subterranean slides, which have split the mountain and are sending thousands of tons of rock in avalanches down the slopes. To the geologist, there is nothing sur prising about this but we have been so accustomed to thinking of mountains as immovable that these eccentricities seem extremely strat ing. A THRILLER What a real thriller it would be if Paul Redfern, American avaitor who vanished five years ago while attempting a non-stop flight from the United States to Rio de Janerio. would be found alive in the Ric Madeira section of Brazil. The latest report that he is held prisoner by a semi-civilized tribe of Indians there, follows previous umors that he had been captured by head-hunters, but that they were treating him like a king. II he is alive and can be returned tc his own land, what a thrilling tale would be his! A COMMON ERROR Is there any word in the En glish language which is more oftei: mispronounced than January1? February, as we shall be aware s few weeks hence, is a formidable competitor for the dubious honor For some reason or other, mosl people delight in putting a "we’ into the names of the two months They say Januwary and Febru wary. Perhaps this mispronuncia tion has always been as common a: it is now but it seems to be more in evidence this year than ever be fore. OMITTING "MISS” Economy seems to strike ir strange ways. The winter edition of the New York Telephone Com pany directory now omits the title "Miss” from its pages. More than 12,000 unmarried women subscri bers thus lose their "titles.” This may seem a trival matter, but the company says it saves 10 pages in the directory. The Greater Boston directory still carries the designa tions "Miss” and "Mrs.” It is pre sumed the local telephone officials will see no need to economize in a small way by expunging "Miss.” IT HAS always been a a" a OUR OBSERVATION that a a a THERE ARE few men who a a a WILLINGLY TAKE the a a a BLAME FOR everything a a a THAT HAPPENS, and for a a a THAT REASON we are * * * REPRODUCING A very * sir * SHORT CONVERSATION the a a a OTHER DAY between a a a a COUPLE OF local citizens a a a WHO WERE asking each ' * * * OTHER A few personal a a a QUESTIONS. OF course, a a a IT WOULD be much more a a a INTERESTING WERE it a a a SAFELY POSSIBLE for a a a US TO mention names. ^ a a a "DID YOUR wife say a a a 'YES’ THE first time a a a YOU PROPOSED to her?” a a a QUESTIONED ONE of them a a a "NO” WAS the immediate *5- }r REPLY.

Inaugural Ball To Be New Type i Washington.—Admiral C^ry T. Grayson, now planning an inau gural ball to usher in the Roosevelt administration, can take few guid ing pages from the elaborate De mocratic ball-programmes of pre prohibition; pre-syncopation, pre suffrage days. The admiral has to chart a new course—and he’s already at it. The very first thing he did was to call in a committee of women to confer with him, a procedure which would have been unheard of, say back in Grover Cleveland’s time, when the committees were all men. "I’m going to let the ladies plan it out first,” said Grayson, "and then give them some men to work 'with.” Thus far, about all’ that is really definitely decided upon about the ball is that its proceeds will go to charity; and that President-elect Roosevelt will not attend but that his family will. In a souvenir programme dated March 4, 188 5—one of the elabor ate kind with a pencil wrapped in satin floss to form a markerchord —the order of that ball is given— if it’s apy help to Grayson or his ladies. The reception to the Presidential party lasted from 9 p. m. to 11 p. m., with the Marine Band, led by John Phillip Sousa, playing such selections as "The Queen’s Lace Handkerchief,” by Strauss; and a descriptive fantasia titled, "A Hunting Scene.” Came the dancing—a programme that ran along like this:Waltz, pro menade, quardille, lanciers, polka, galop—and then started over agan. Nine rooms were set aside as sup per and wine rooms. Besides the re gular menu, there were "Oriental dishes” with long titles,, one being "Bastion a la Democrat,” and an^ other "Fountain de Liberte.” Four brands of wine were ap proved by the committee, and they sold at $4 a quart, $2 a pint. Cop—"Hey, you!” Back Seat Passenger—"Drive on it’s only a cop with Hey fever.” The woman who used to be ash ■ amed of her past is • now having it syndicated. - DR. N. C.
