MONDAY, DEC. 5, 1938 Courageous Living Jim had come into contact with eniough voltage to kill several men, but he didn’t die. Both arms were ampu tated below the elbow. He urged his sweetheart to break their engagement, so she wouldn’t face a future attached to a helpless cripple. She refused his offer of freedom, mar ried him, and took him to Nebraska. He couldn’t clothe himself. He coui not feed himself. He could not write. One day a farm auctioneer invited him to share in the auctioneering and he was a grand success. He then took a course in auctioneering in Kansas City. Today Jim is one of the outstanding men in his profession. He has estab lished a thriving business and owns a large sales bam, a cafe and a filling sta tion. But more than that, he and h's wife have accomplishment of courage— double courage. The above sketch was taken from Your Life Magazine. We publish it here to illustrate our argument that per sons with courage can find a way to make their way in this country without docile dependence upon government or charity. To make it easy for a person to give up and float with the tide of depend ence upon others or upon a paternalistic government destroys initiative, resource fulness and the very essence of stability in character. A person whose verj' nature is to be weak and dependent can become cour ageous if he is necessarily pitted against obstacles which he must overcome. Great lives are builded through over coming adversity. Some are naturally fitted with those qualities which means fight toward the top. while others may have the inferiority complex which spells defeat if not overcome. To those who might otherwise overcome the ad versities of economics, the knowledge that a government holds out some kind of existence in the event of failure dampens enthusia.sm and determination to succeed. The government of this great nation should stand between every person and starvation. But help should only be extended in emergencies and not until the individual in question has clearly shown to the world that he has tried faithfully, sincerely and with all his physical and mental resources to make his own way. an old custom of ours (Statesville Daily) You will think this comment from the New York Daily Express is reasonably and mildly put or traitorously over drawn, depending entirely on which side of the political fence you are stand- . • U X “The administration is but a contin ued series of Strange Events. The in fringements upon the Constitution- nominating a successor — the executive intermeddling with our national and state electioiis — Derangement of the currency—Executive usurpation—a vio lation of the public faith—loss of confi dence enormous increase of our pubiu expenditures.” A perfect pattern of the Roosevelt administration, you say. And your touain, enlisted under the Democratic banner sputters and stutters when he tries to disclaim, because the specifica- .tions fit so well. .x • -But hold your horses! That chppjng from the New York Express is one hun- ^ years old. It appeared in the edi torial columns February 25, 18 . goes to show that our present vdiwing-with-alarm is but an old well- «rtablirfied United States^ustom. If vou want to see i^o master minds ■niroirrd in a pooderouA pn*l«®» watch checkers. I Looki^ over a |iih^ cal^ brin£^ to mind that old question abbot what to do with those who break the laws of men and by so doing form a menace to society. Capt. E. L. Hight, superintendent of the new prison camp here,' has been en gaged in like or similar capacity for 37 years. He has worked prisoners of ev ery type. He has seen them come and go, some as many as a half dozen times. “I don’t know whether it does 'them any good or not”, he said. In punishment for breaking laws, rul ers have always been confronted with a kfiotty and serious problem. A person is convicted for larceny. He is sent to the roads for a short term. Often he ,serves only a part of the term, and he is let loose on parole. With but few ex ceptions the course of that individual leads to more serious crime. It appears that a prisoner should be closely obs>jrved and studied. And his term of punishment should be such that he may be kept out of society until such time as it may appear that he has defin itely reformed and has a strong inclina tion to go straight. Paroled prisoners yearly take an enormous toll in lives, property and law enforcement costs in this country. “Since the main benefit to society in punishment is removing offenders from freedom and the chance to commit oth er offenses, and protection during that time, it appears that they should not be turned loose until there is positive signs of complete and lasting reformation. Painless Extraction A dentist has advised his colleagues to anticipate the patients’ pain by tell ing them that “this hurts.” Then, says the dentist, the patient will deny it Here is his philosophy: K Miss Doe, who is having a tooth ex tracted, complains: “Doctor, you’re hurting me,” dentist should not say “No, I’m not,” as he many times does. This, says the philosophizing dentist, is calcu lated to infuriate Miss Doe, who knows very v/ell that she is being hurt. The correct way is to say: “Poor Miss Doe, I’m hurting you.” Miss Doe will then stubbornly reply: “You’re not either’’ —and she will probably believe it. Thus philosophy might prove an inter esting experiment for the Internal Rev enue Bureau in Washington, which is Uncle Sam’s tax extractor. The Royal Visit There is something gratifying to Am erican pride in the announcement that King George and Queen Elizabeth of England are to visit the United States and call at the White House nexlt spring. It will be the first time that a reign ing monarch of the British Empire has ever visited America. Perhaps if the idea of royal vLsits had occurred a cou ple of hundred years ago, say, we might still be subjects of the British crown. x^t any rate, there is a strong and def inite tie between this country and the nation of w'hich most of the United States once owed allegiance, and wo ought to be glad to show King George VI what a great country we have built by our own unaided efforts since we broke away from the control of his royal great-great-great-grandfather, George III. As we understand it, the position the King of England and Scotland and Em peror of Britain is that of a symbol rath er than a ruler. He is a figurehead, but a rather gorg eous figurehead. He symbolizes th greatest democracy in the world, a na tion which in many respects is much more democratic than our own. Th nearest thing we have in Aremica to the King is the figurative cartoon of Uncle Sam, who stands for the American spirit as the King does for the spirit of Britain. There has been some silly talk from Washington about the proper etiquette to be observed by the President and h wife when the King and Queen visit them. Should Mrs. Roosevelt curtsy to the Queen? That sounds like tommyrot. If there is any question of equality, the balance is in the favor of the Presi dent and his wife, since the President is a more powerful ruler. But this is not a political visit. The royal visit to Washington is a visit by one gentleman and his wife to another gentleman and his wife, and the proper etiquette is what is proper when one gentleman call% at another gentleman's house. Everybody thinks that the safely de vice is for the other fellow. • fj SUMMIT, Nov.; M.—, tho bitter cold ttao dundRy.jKbob! at Tello# fflll was ▼ery well attended.
