Bible Thought For The Day
COD FORGIVES AND HEALS:—
Bless the' Lord. O my soul, and forget
not ‘all his benefits : who forgivetff all
thine iniquities ? who health all thy
diseases: who redeemeth thy life from
destruction. —Psalm 108:2-4. • •:
A WONDERFUL DOCTRINE.
J. If employers would spend half as
miiclh time Cultivating the friendship, re
spect add; good will of labor as they do
fighting labor organizations there would
not be a labor problem. Sherman Hog
el’s. of New York, today ;told the dele
gates to the fourteenth annual conven
tion of Rotary International in St. Louis.
‘“We waste too much time talking
about the -labor . agitator.’’ the speaker
£aid. ‘‘He can only be recognized as the
logical friend of the worker where the
management has refused to extend its
friendship.
■ “I was in the Seattle shipyards work
ing as a helper in 1917 when Charles
M. Schwab made his tour of the Ameri
can shipbuilding institutions. We’d
heard he was a labor hater.
“The first -instant the great steel man
looked us over it was apparent to every
man in the bunch that Mr. Schwab really
liked him. He stepped on that platform
Charles M. Schwab, autperat, millionaire
magnate. He stepped off that platform,
30 minutes later friend Charles. In that
short clO minutes he had destroyed the
hatred that agitators Jiad been building
for 15 yoars.
“The world is built on ideals. Labor
wants to be square. If labor follows the
wrong leader it is not because they want
to misunderstand but because the right
leader has been asleep at the switch and
hasn't given the men a chance to under
stand him.
“There are three sides to every ques
tion—your side, the other fellow's side
and the right side. I don’t believe there
ever was a question in either modern or
ancient history where either side to the
dispute was 100 per cent, right.
“Ninety-five per cent, of men. whether
they wear broadcloth or overalls, want
to play the game square. Lack of con
tact means lack of understanding.
“The employer has spent a lot of time
selling his honesty, his fairness and per
sonality to the banker, the wholesaler, the
retailer and the public. How much has
he spent trying to sell that same person
ality, honesty and fairness to his work
men? Solving a labor trouble is not a
mysterious affair. It is simply a propo
sition of using common horse sense.”
It is not always easy to put these
ideals and aspirations into practice, but
Mr. Rogers in his analysis is getting pret
ty close to the root of. the trouble. If
the employer will spend as much time
proving to his employes that he is fair
and square as he does proving the same
thing to his banker, labor troubles would
be unknown.
We repeat, it is hard to get these
things put into practice but it is undoubt
edly true that they are receiving more
consideration each year, and we are mak
ing steps in the right direct:jn. Some
day such plans as Mr. Rogers has out
lined will be daily, and this
will be a better world for it.
ANOTHER TRADE EVENT.
The- merchants of Concord, working
through the Merchants’ Association, re
. cently staged a Trade Week here that
eclipsed anything the city lias ever
known in the way of business. The trade 4
event was conducted' for ten days and
thousands of dollars were spent for goods
and other commodities that were needqd.
As a result both the merchants and the
shoppers prospered. Trade "Week was so
successful that another trade event is to
-be staged here, to be known as Dollar
Sale Week-
The event will bo Dollar Day on un
advanced scale. Instead of offering dol
lar bargaiqs fyi“ one , day. as is done
when a I)bllar. Day ; -Sale is/coiijdeled,
local merchants have decided tor dffh ; dol
lar bargains for eight days, beginning
June 22ud and continuing through June
30th. A large number of merchants have
agreed to co-operate in this sale, and
this should mean a successful ending to
the undertaking.
This paper is carrying some of the
special sale advertisements. Others will
be carried later. Readers should take ad
vantage. of these advertisements which
will convince anyone that real bargains
are to be offered by the merchants dur
ing the sale. The real value of adver
tising is not reached until both the mer
chant and the public prospef from it.
This end will be reached if these ads. are
rend carefully and the bargains they
enumerate are taken advantage of.
EDWIN BERGDOLL THE BETTER
OFF.
Next week Edwin R. Bergdoll, one of
the two brothers who gained much noto
riety because of their efforts to dodge
the draft, will be set free from Leaven
worth prison, where he will have serv
ed two years and ten months on a four
year sentence for failure to perform mil
itary service. The sentence was for four
years, but this is reduced for good be
havior.
Officers of the prison point out that
Bergdoll will leave Leavenworth a free
man. No complaints or charges are
pending against him, and lie will be liis
own man when he steps from the prison
gate.
He is much better off than his brother
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, who will nev
er be able to return to his native land
without being hunted down by govern
ment agents. Grover C. escaped from
the military authorities while awaiting
trial and for the past several years has
been living with the Germans, the peo
ple he refused to fight against.
But he is still an outlaw, while Ed
win will be a free man next week. It
is true that the latter lias had to re
main in prison and his life has not been
as easy as that of the former, but at
present he is the better off of the two.
Grover C. may like life in Germany all
right, but we know there are many times
when he would like to be back in the
United States, and he cannot come back,
unless under the cover of darkness, and
then he would be here only a short time
before some eagle-eye of the government
would arrest him.
The two men committed serious of
fenses against the government of the
United States, and though Edwin fought
a prison sentence with every weapon at
liis command. h° lias paid now and is
at liberty to go where he pleases.
A,SERIOUS QUESTION.
In making public the .Uomieide statis
tics for 1922 which show a slaying rate
in 28 of the largest cities in the United
States of nine per 100.000 population.
The Spectator, an insurance periodical,
renews the suggestion that drastic fed
erad legislation for the control of fire
arms is the remedy to check the steadily
growing homicide rate.
The record since 1900. says The Spec
tator. reflects an attitude of lawlessness
and indifference to human life without
parallel in the history of mankind. The
outstanding facts of America’s record
are:
First, the excessive proportion of crim
inals who go unpunished, or who fail to
get punishment proportional to their of
fenses.
Second, the large majority of murders
committed by shooting, as the result of
the ease with which revolvers and am
munition can be secured even where the
law prohibits their sale.
It may become necessary to control fire
arm sale and trade by federal legisla
tion. but it would be much better if the
situation could be handled by the states.
This is impossible, however, under pres
ent federal laws. In North Carolina, we
believe, it is against the law to sell small
firearms. Rpt about the only effect the
law seems to have is that it prevents lo
cal merchants from selling them. Any
citizen of the state may easily buy any
kind of a pistol, either from an individ
ual who trades for and sells pistols dr
from some outside manufacturer or
dealer. On account of the interstate
commerce law. we understand, the state
can not prevent pistols from being ship
ped into thd state.
The law in this State further provides
that before a person can purchase a pis
tol lie must, secure ,a permit from the
Clerk of Superior Court, it being sup
posed that the clerk will know who is
the kind of a citizen that will make
proper use of the gun. But this part of
the law is more or less of a farce. Not
that the clerks do not iierforny their part
of the law. but rather that no one goes
to them. Most of the pistols are ordered
from out of the State and the clerk of
court or no one else but the purchaser
and the seller know anything about the
sale..
The question is a serious one, all right,
and deserves serious consideration.
THE EVERLASTING NOISE.
The Asheville Citizen says “a woman
who is enthusiastic over the musical
programs of the Biennial asks The Citi
zen to make a plea for ‘The Art of Si
lence’ as an accomplishment indispensa
ble for the proper enjoyment of music.”
Thus it appears that even in au au
dience that would go out to hear the
great artists who visited Asheville dur
ing the nieetipg of the Federated Music
Clubs there were people who would not
keep still and let their neighbors enjoy
the program. Mueh the same situation
is evident here every time a public meet
ing is held. During the commencement
exercises recently there was so much
confusion and talking at times that it
was impossible tq> bear the speakers.
Jluch dissatisfaction was expressed at
tiie time, but the, public was inclined to
let the incident drop'" taking the attitude
that the confusion was created by chil
dren. But all the noise was not made
by children. There are many grown-ups
who have not learned' the “Art of Sir
lence” and who think they can talk or
move about as -they please.
The Citizen says that “those whose
appreciation moves them Ao conversation
during a performance should remember
that talking causes' them to miss their
own highest enjoyment of the program
and deprives those trying to be quiet of
opportunities for which they paid the
price of admission.” <.
WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT DOING?
“We should not-be happy in the Unit
ed States if the civilized world were con
stantly in distress,” declared President
Harding in a speech in Delaware a few
days ago, and this declaration leads The
Salisbury Post to declare “the remain
der of the world is in distress and the
Presidents party has done nothing to re
lieve this distress, so far as the naktsl
eye can see, and little effort has the
President himself made to bring about
a relief.”
What does Mr. Harding think of (he
situation in , jFhirbpe? What, more dis
tress does lie need to convince; him that
the United States is not doing half it
should do? The President talks of co
operation by the United States, but what
constructive steps has lie taken to as
sure this co-operation? He has made
his international court proposal, but he
has not shown the world yet that lie
will stick to it in its original and effect
ive form. There is some possibility of
the bitter-enders attaching amendments
and reservations that will make the plan
negative and foolish. There is work for
the United States to do all right, and we
should be about that work now. The
Post very wisely notes that “the re
mainder of the world cannot groan and
cry out in great distress without t lie*
United States being kept awake by the
noise.” and that is just what is happen
ing now.
We are not going to be happy here
{*o long as we know, as we do now, that
the rest of the world is unhappy. It is
impossible for a man to live in a neigh
borhood of distress and misery and be
wholly happy himself. It is the same
principle with nations. We talk of
plenty, good times and happiness iu the
United States, but it is all on the sur
face. This country will not really pros
per so long as it allows its neighbors to
die of want of the touch of human kind
ness. __
There is a wonderful opportunity for
Mr. Harding to fulfill his prophecy about
the United States not being happy with
the rest of the’ world unhappy. It is up
to him and his party to determine what
action the United States will take.
POST GRADUATE COURSES
To Be Given in 18 Cities Througiwut
North Carolina. Beginning June 18.
Chapel Hill. X. C., June 18.—What
is termed as the largest single extension
teaching project in the United States is
to be launched by the Extension Division
of the University of North Carolina,
when during the week beginning June
IS over 350 physicians will bejjin a
twelve weeks’ postgraduate course to be
given in eighteen cities distributed
throughout North Carolina, it was an
nounced tonight by C. I). Snell, director
of the University extension division.
“While nearly all state universities
now have extension divisions Mr. Snell
stated, “this is the first attempt by any
university to hold extension classes on
such a large scale in every section of
a state. The success of our work is
entirely due to the splendid- co-operation
of our progressive North Carolina phy
sicians at whose instance this work is
being carried on.”
AND NOW PROHIBITION
HAS STRUCK IRELAND
Passengers From Dry and Dusty At
lantic Astonished in Parched l isters.
Belfast. June 18.—Northern Ireland’s
first prohibition Sunday was the cause of
a rush to towns just across the border
from the six-county area for liquid re
freshments. The- Donegal. Cavan,
Monaghan and Louth districts had many
visitors. Bangor, the home of the Lip
ton cup challengers and Belfast’s famous
seaside resort, was hard hit. as was War

ANOTHER RILING IN
LIQUOR ON SHIP CASE
Ships Doctor 011 Foreign Ships Will
Have Custody of All Liquors Hereaf
ter.
Washington. June 19.—A part of the
mystery which has surrounded the lat
est treasury move in the ship liquor con
troversy was dispelled today by a declar
ation in official circles that hereafter the
ship's doctor on a foreign ship will be
given custody in American waters of
such liquor as lie is Willing to certify is
for "medicinal” purposes.
Although no one at the Treasury would
discuss developments in detail, it was as
sumed that under this policy it would be
possible for foreign ships to bring in
wine rations for their crew under seal,
provided the doctor iu charge wishes to
regard the wine so carried as “medicinal.”
Special Session Would Be Months Off,
Says Governor.
Raleigh, June 18. —Governor Morrison

ANNUAL REPORT OF
THEIR PRESIDENT
'(Continued from Page One)
insist on a better standard of living,
of the introduction of various modern
conveniences, of better schools, of better
roads and in many ways it can help make
the rural sections more desirable places'
to live in. It is somewhat distressing,
therefore, to note that the circulation
~of the weekly newspapers has not only
not increased within the past ten years,
but that it has actually decreased. For
instance, in New York State, the Fed
eral census reports show that the circula
tion of the weekly papers in New York
State was 25 per cent, less in 1019 than
in 1014: that is, the weekly newspaper
in that State decreased just 25 per 'cent,
in efficiency and influence within the five
year period named. The daily newspa
per need not fear that the circulation of
the weekly papers will curtail or inter
fere with their own. Rather, in making
a community better and more progres
sive the weeklies are at the same time
helping the dailies because a larger field
is created for them also.
I want to call particular attention to
a movenient inaugurated two or threh
years ago in which every newspaper pub
lisher in the South should exercise a vi
tal and active interest. It is the es
tablishment of the Lee Memorial School
of Journalism at Washington and Lee
University at Lexington, Va. Robert E.
Lee was not only one of the greatest
military geniuses of the world, but he
was one of the wisest of educators. Gen.
Lee put new life into Washington and
Lee, and his five years’ work there will
always rank with the glories of his trans
cendent work on the fields of battle
from 1861 to 1565. It is fitting that the
South, even at this late hour, should
erect to the memory of its revered hero
a suitable memorial. This is now about
to be done in the establishment of the
Lee Memorial School of Journalism at
the University. It is the plan of the
committee in charge to raise .$125,000
first from the publishers of the South,
and to use this as a basic argument to
enlist the support of the general public
in this great enterprise. These pledges
are to be payable over a period of three
years or in any other way convenient to
the donor. Every newspaper subscrib
ing SI,OOO or more will have the privi
lege of awarding a scholarship worth SBO
each year to some deserving young per
son who desires to study the profession
of journalism. I am gratified to state-,
that on Thursday evening Dr. Henry
Louis Smith, President of Washington
and Lee. will be here to tell us about the
plans and progress of the work in which
lie is taking the greatest interest. I
sincerely hope that every member of our
Association may become a contributor,
in a large or small degree, to the con
summation of thi3 memorial.
There are many subjects affecting the
welfare of all of us which I would like
to touch upou, such as co-operative buy
ing. newspaper ethics, local advertising,
ad infinitum, but I shall leave you to
thresh out these in your own way, and
I hope all of them and many more will
be discussed intelligently and effective
ly on this floor: I want to touch only
on one of the subjects mentioned, name
ly : Newspaper ethics. Last year I ap
iminted a committee to prepare a code
of ethics for the North Carolina Press
Association, but it did not function, and
went immediately into a state of "innoc
uous desuetude.” A newspaper is a pro
ponent of public service, and it should
be governed by ethical standards. Pri
vate selfishness should be eliminated* and
the public good should always be para
mount. In order to accomplish this iu
the best and highest way, a general code
of ethics should be adopted and observed.
All other professions have their code
of ethics; and strange it is that the
Fourth Estate, which Edmund Burke
said is "far more important than they
all,” should be the last of the great pro
fessions to set up a code by the adher
ence to which justice is guaranteed to
every man.
Recently the American Society of
Newspaper Editors held a most success
ful gathering iu Washington for the
advancement of the professional rights
and privileges of Journalism. The out
standing achievement of this great co.n
vention was the adoption of a code of
ethics, and at the risk of taxing your
patience I am going to read it to you.
Here it is:
“The primary function of newspapers
is to communicate to human race what
its members do. feel, and think. Jour
nalism, therefore, demands of its practi
tioners the widest range of intelligence,
of knowledge, and of experience, as well
as natural anti trained powers of obser
vation and reasoning. To its opportuni
ties as a chronicler are indissolubly link
ed its obligation's as teacher and inter
preter.
“To the end of finding some means of
codifying sound practice and just aspira
tions of- American journalism these can
ons are set forth :
‘•Responsibility—The right of a newspa
per to attract and hold readers is re
stricted by nothing but considerations
of public welfare. The use a newspaper
makes of the slmre of public attention
it gains serves to determine its sense of
responsibility, which it shares with ev
ery member of its staff. A journalist
who uses his power for any selfish or
otherwise unworthy purpose is faithless
to a high trust.

*’ “Freedom of the Press —Freedom of
the press is to be guarded as a vital right
of mankind. It is the unquestionable
right to discuss whatever is not explicit
ly forbidden by law, including the wis
dom of any restrictive statute.

“Independence--Freedom from all ob
ligations except that of fidelity to the
public interest is vital. .

faith a newspaper is constrained to be
truthful. It is not to be excused for a
lack of thoroughness or accuracy within
its control or failure to obtain command
of these essential qualities.
“2. Headlines should be fully war
ranted by the contents of the articles
they surmount.
V. ‘
“Impartiality—Sound -practice makes
clear distinction between ,news reports
and expressions of oiihiion. News re
ports should be free from opinion or bias
of any kind.
"t This rule does not apply to so-call
ed special articles unmistakably devoted
to advocacy or characterized by a signa
ture authorizing ‘the writer’s own con
clusions and interpretations.
yi.
"Fair Play—A newspaper should not
publish unofficial charges affecting repu
tation or moral character without oppor
tunity given to the accused to be heard;
right practice demauds the giving of
such opportunity in all cases of serious
accusation outside judicial proceedings.
"1. A newspaper should not invade
privade rights or feelings without sure
warrant of public right as distinguish
ed from public curiosity.
“2. It is the privilege, as It is the duty
of a newspaper to make prompt add
complete correction of its own serious
mistakes of fact or opinion, "whatever
tlieir origin. *
VII.
"Decency—A newspajier canot escape
conviction of insincerity if while pro
fessing high moral purpose it supplies
incentives to base conduct, such as are
to be frfund in details of crime and vice,
publication of which is not demonstrably
for the general good. Lacking authority
-to enforce its canons, the journalism
here represented can but express the
hope that deliberate pandering to vicious
instinct will encounter effective* public
disapproval or yield to the influence of a
preponderant professional condemnation.”
If nothing else I may say in this lit
tle message impresses you or* en
gages your attention, I want this to stick :
Support the North Carolina Press Asso
ciation by giving it always your best
thought and endeavor. It offers a’ ser
vice to every editor and publisher which
nothing else can give. Here one news
paper publisher who lias been struggling
all the year with knotty problems which
probably, try as lie may, be has not
been able to solve, can come and meet
with his fellow publishers, and mayhap in
five minutes contact lie may light upon
the solution which he has sought. AVe
stimulate and help each other by contact,
and the experience of the smallest pub
lisher is often times worth much, far
more than he himself imagines. But you
cannot profit tliqs, brethren, unless you
put everything aside twice a year and
come to these gatherings. AA’e meet to
study newsi>aper problems and we Avaut
to help each other and to put into action
methods which will insure better news
papers and therefore better communities.
The North Carolina Press Association
should have affTeast 250 active members.
AVliile it has doue many worth while
things with the present size of its mem
bership, what could it not do if every
editor and publisher in the State would
join it and give, it the benefit through
out all the year of his best thought and
effort ?

“WOMAN” BANDIT HAS
BEEN IDENTIFIED AT LAST
Mrs. Richard Tesmer Identifies Fred
Thompson, as Disguised Slayer of Her
Husband.
Chicago, June 10.—Fred H. Thompson,
said to have posed as a woman, was posi
tively identified today, according to the
police, by -Mrs. Richard C. Tesmer. as
the supposed woman bandit who shot and
killed her husband iu a holdup on the
June sth.
Although Mi*fs. Tesmer had told how
the bandit smiled when Tesmer was shot
and declared she never would forget that
sipile and the robber's bine eyes, the
police after questioning dozens of women
turned to the"possibility that a man dis
guised as a woman had fired the fatal
shoe. The theory was /largely based on
Mrs. Tesmer's recollection that the ban
dit Jiad fat hands.
