Unmitigated Carelessness Out of the 70 people killed op the high ways of North Carolina during the month of July 22 were pedestrians and of the 22 seven were children playing on the streets and highways. Surely this old world is not so small that children must play in the lanes pro vided ^or motor transportation. Of all the seventy deaths in one month on the high ways it appears that the children playing in the streets were the most uncalled for. Here is the picture: A child suddenly dashes from behind an automobile into the traffic on the street; the driver of an ap proaching car tries to dodge if he has time but the excited child knows not how to get out of the way; amid the screeching of brakes and tires on pavement there comes the sound of the child’s body being crush ed to the earth and the result is" the loss of a child’s life, a saddened father and a heart-broken mother. Why do such things happen? The first and main reason is because the children’s parents allow them to play in the streets out of their sight. Very frequently an over-confident parent sends a small child on an errand, probably to the corner store, and the child returns in a casket. These word pictures are not mere ram bling of the mind, but are true to life and such deplorable accidents are happen ing every month in our own state and sometimes in our own county. The worst part of the picture is that lives are being taken by carelessness; lives of the most ifinocent souls, not responsible for their own welfare and pi-otection. If you cannot be with your children when they are on the sti-eets, keep them the backvard. Thev are safe from Given No Chance Sheriff C’ Kimball, of Iredell ty, was shot and kOled Friday morning l^while making an honest and^ couragwus passing automobiles there and you will be saved the remorse o^ conscience from de liberately sending your child to a violent death under the ^’heels of a speeding automobile. We are not writing about a situation in China or some other place on the other side of this celestial ball; but about some thing in our own state, county and com munity. The reason many children in Wilkes county are alive today is because some automobile drivers are experts w.her it comes to dodging children and othei pedestrians on the streets and highways Insofar as the children go, the fault can be placed where ft belongs—on the par ents. Speaking of youths and adults, who are not blameless when it comes to careless ness on the highways and streets, we should always remember that old saying: “Look both ways before crossing the road.” Another thing that is an indictment against the intelligence of pedestrians is to insist on walking on the pavement of the highways in heavy and fast traffic when two cars are meeting. Very frequently we see as many as four pedestrians in a breast taking half of the highway, watch ing the car ahead but failing to look back to see whether or not a car is approaching from the other direction. .Not all deaths of pedestrians can be at tributed to their own carelessness, how ever. There are still many reckless and . downright mean drivers who would run a walker and fail to st^ to see whose life he had snuffed out. ^ effort to capture alive North Carolina's most despOTate outlaw,. Ralph Davis.'^’ Sheriff KLmball, insofar as we Imve ever^ heard or read, was an outstanding citizen f and a good officer. He was shot and killed in cold blood .while trying Jto make a move ? 4» protect society. ^ When John Dillinger, arch enemy of law and order, was killed by federal of ficers there was a murmur of “he wasn’t given a chance,” that went up from all sections.^ Ralph Davis shot and killed a good cit- zen without giving him a chance, comii^ from behind a door with a smoking gun. The crowd that murmured at the death of Dillinger say nothing about the tragic death of Sheriff Kimball and were secret ly, if jiot openly, hoping that Davis would not be taken. Sympathizers with crime and its ex ponents are the underlying cause of wide-^ spread banditry in this nation and the en tire world. If criminals were not held up as heroes and idols of courage, when they in truth are the lowest of cowards, the life of a bandit would not be so enticing. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN HOSEA PREACHES GOD’S LOVE Les-son for August 26th—Hosea 6, 11, 14. Golden Text: John 3-16 Hosea lived about 25 year after the time of Amos, in a period of anarchy. The kings were short-lived weaklings and murderers. The As syrians were looming up on the horizon, and feeble Israel had no strength to resist. It was indeed a horrible time, with no certainty, no security. Amidst this scene of desolate woe we picture Hosea, a well-to-do farmer, nervous, meditative, passionate, longing with ardent zeal to find a way of salvation, for his people. And that way he discovered, curiously enough, through his own bitter domestic troubles. After his wife, Gomar, to whom he was devoted, had borne their three children, he found her unfaithful. So great was his anger and grief that a separation was inevitiible. She either forsook him, or he put her away. But all the while he felt that the case was not closed. With a sublime gesture of reconciliation he took her back and sought, by degrees, to restore her to wifehood. That tragic experience gave Hosea the clue for his inspiring preaching. Israel, he declared, was an adulteress. She had forsaken God, and be come a prostitute. “The more I called.” cried the Lord through the mouth of Hosea, “the more they went from me . . • My people are bent to backsliding from me-” But, insisted the prophet, God yearns after His people with the longing of a faithful lover. He will not easily forgive them, but He will forgive. His bleeding heart broods in pity over them even as did the heart of Hosea over faith less Gomar. “I w-ill not execute the fierceness of mine anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man. (See chapter 11.9.) And so while we have, in Hosea’s book, a vig orous emphasis on unfaithfulness to God as the major sin, we are also told that Love is the chief attribute of the divine nature. Borrowed Comment MIGHTY HARD ON THE OTHER BRETHREN (Winston-Salem Journal) Albert Teester, tha Sylva Holy Roller evange list, has placed his brethren of the same faith in a sort of predicament, it occurs offhand. He handled a rattlesnake, let" it bite him, and re covered from the bite. Now the lay brethren down in the ranks hither and yon have developed a yen for the sign of the rattlesnake. What Rev. Mr. Teester did perhaps their own pastor could do, would like to do. In Birmingham, Ala., a member of good and regular standing, thinking thoughts some what in line with the foregoing, approaches his pastor with a dandy five-foot rattler well equipped with rattlers and the usual button. He presented it to his pastor with the spoken or im plied injunction for the minister to “do his stuff-” But no; Rev. Charles Herrin was not of a mind to tempt Providence by becoming intimate with a rattlesnake. Perhaps his theology could find no connection between stunting with a rattler and saving souls from the wiles of the devil, even if were true that Satan assumed the form of a reptile in order to tempt into the eating of the historic apple. With chills creeping up and down his spine, as we may well imagine, the minister told the man with the snake to get behind him. As Rev. Mr. Herren was tempted, so will other ministers over the country, perchance, be ask^ to do many foolish things by the credulous, just because a mountain revivalist saw fit to offer a sign and make a dangerous demonstration which had about as much place in a revival meeting as a side-saddle has on an Arkan.-as razorback. Like the Birmingham pastor, they have the al ternative of turning down these proposals with righteous indignation. “Cost $16,000 to Try to Make Doughnuts.” It’s lucky they didn’t, decide to have a cup of coffee, too—Boston Evening Transcript.

TODAY TOMORROW a POUTOC8 . . .anil Jobs. As have pdteted out before, political, machines are bnllt -oir Job8.*t i have Just received a communica tion from rWasbington stating flatly that anyone who wants to get a federal job must get letters of endorsement from, local, state or national Democratic polltfcl-. ans. The Democratic national committee has got up a "yellow questionnaire,’’ which-bas to be..- filled out, by any applicant who is serious about getting on the federal payroll. And my infor mant says that there is a secret method whereby letters of en dorsement are classed as "genu* ine” or “perfunctory.” ^ The civil service commissioh still exists, and goes through the motions of submitting names of qualified persons for jobs, but no attention is paid to its lists unless they also have the right political endorsement from the right people. I can’t see much hope for any thing like efficiency in govern ment so long as such a system prevails. It seems to me to pro vide the strongest possible ar gument against the government al operation of any enterprise. ^W^allf Ja; $600,400 vVorth of to because We were not pra>dhclng eMUgh to meet the demandg of >our“ people.

I have just seen some startling figures of the amount of money which the federal government has been paying out for direct relief benefits. Not counting'the three thousand millions of loans and allowances direct to state governments, more than $3,500,- 000 has been distributed in “doles” of one sort or another, as against $2,000,000,000 col lected In federal taxes in the same period. That leaves a good deal less than nothing out of the tax re ceipts on which to operate the government. I have heard of a good many candidates for re-election to congress boasting about the way that they have “taken care of” their constituents by getting so much money for them out of the federal treasury. I have not heard of any of them telling his constituents that much of this money has been pure gifts to people who did not really need it, but I know that is true in many eases. I am far more concerned about the habit of reliance upon gov ernment to help people out of their troubles than I am about who gets elected to congress or anything elese. Nothing could be more of a calamity than that. BISHOP FLAYS MINISTI^ WHO ' ’DARE’ SNAKES Cleveland, Ttaa., Aug. i'6.— DetnnMUtion' of preachers who deliberately 4are rattletaidtes to bite them in "Staged’’ demqa- atratldns of faith eaine^ tooMli from the founder of the Cburcli of Qod, whose members are te- millarly known as "Holy Rol lers” At the Tabernacle, world head quarters for his sect, which stresses the "healing power of Divine love” and disapproves of medical aid, Bishop .Ambrose J. Tomlinson asserted: “There is a big difference be tween deliberate handling of ser pents to test one’s faith and handling them under the power of the Holy Ghost.” Bishop Tomlinson disclaimed Albert Teester, North Carolina’s mountain preacher who let a rat tlesnake bite him two weeks ago, recovered after a week of tor ture, and DeweV L. Dotson, itin erant evangelist, who put on a show with a fangless serpent for the newsreels at Birmingham last night, as authorized ministers of his church. “I approve of the handling of serpents,” the bishop said, “which Is according to the Scripture, but only when the power of the Holy Ghost.for It thus shows the pow er of God. “But there never is any jus tification for any planned de monstration because it is not known when the handler will be under the power.’’ “1 know nothing of Teester or his motives,’’ Bishop Tomlin son continued. "I do believe it possible for God to protect one who exposes himself to serpent’s fangs, even after bitten. But the suffering which he must un dergo, even when his life is spar ed, is Godis punishment for de liberate handliiig of the snake rather than handling it only when under the power.” These unusually low ibices wffl be offered only a - Few Days LnMfer.

I have never had the sligh’'’". confidence in any of the so-,ailed “statistics’’ of unemployment. Many of them, I have felt cer tain. were greatly exaggerated. Everybody who had ever had a | job, was listed as “unemployed.” That included stenographers who had got married, men who had saved up enough from their wages to retire on, and all the great fringe of unemployables who had bad ooccasional jobs but couldn’t hold any of them long. I am inclined to take more se riously the figures recently put out by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, indicating less than seven million persons unemployed “for all reasons,” than the Federation of Labor’s statement of more than ten mil lion. If the actual facts could he obtained, it probably would be shown that no more than three or four million workers who are able and willing to work are out of jobs today. PRODUCTION . . . normal. So much has been said and writ ten these last couple of years about “overproduction” that peo ple have the idea that there was a great surplus of everything people consume. That was true, however, of only a very few com modities, and those mainly raw materials produced everywhere in the world, such as wheat and a few other agricultural . prod- ducts.
