' s S TIMELY WARNING. f . Miss;Mary Shotwell, connectsl with the State Hoard of Charities and Public Welfare, while in Ooneord recently in vestigating an orphanage, funds for which had been solicited in various parts es the £state without the solicitors holding a li cense .to form an issued a thnefy warning to the i>eople of North Carolina about giving funds to beggars or others who are soliciting for a seem ingly worthy cause. The department with which Miss Shotwell is affiliated looks after orphanages' and homes of a similar nature, and unless the cause for which solicitations are made has the sanction of the welfare department peo ple should go slow in giviug to it. According to the story told here by Miss Shotwell, two Concord men recent.-* ly were in Greenville, N. C., soliciting for the Brookwood Orpkaus’ Home, which they told Greenville people was located here. There is no orphanage of any kind in Concord, although one of the men do ing the solicitor recently purchased eight lots on which it is rumored he proposes to erect an orphanage. That does not prevent him from violating the law when he solicits for the orphanage, .for the State Board of Charity and Public Wel fare has never givou him permission to conduct an orphanage and until such a permit is issued any oue soliciting for the proposed institution violates the law. People are too gullible, Miss Shotwell stated, and she is right. Anyone with a long face, a broken or missing limb can come along and get money from almost anyone. It is the same‘with people who go around claiming they are collecting for rescue work or an orphanage. The aver age citizen has a tender spot in 'his heart for the orphan or the boy or girl who lias gone wrong, and without giving the case the attention it deserves, he goes ahead and pays out money. In most cases the beggar needs no public help, and in many instances the money giveni for the orphanage or rescue home into the pockets of slick solicitors. When these beggars and solicitors come around, whether they be seeking aid for themselves or some alleged city officials should make an investiga tion. The department with which Miss Shotwell is associated keeps tab on wyr thy institutions and many worthy indi viduals who really need aid, and'if the department says the cause for which the men are soliciting is worthwhile, then the fund seekers should be allowed to work in a city. Otherwise they should not be permitted to operate. The people of North Carolina will have to be educated to tight shy of the many fakirs that are going about the State, and while we have had enough experiences to be wise, it seems that we still have much to learn. CHIKCHES NOT TO BLAME. We want to add a word of protest to that already issued by The, Statesville Daily against the practice of certain per sons in Salisbury ami elsewhere who have been criticising the Churches because church members were affiliated w ith the banks which failed in Salisbury and Row an County. After the banks failed ru mors were circulated here and in Salis bury too, that Churches were beiug criticised because the men mauagiug the defunct banks were Church members. The reports seemed so foolish that we thought no -attention would be paid to them, but il seems now that they are cur rent over the State, and although denied in Salisbury, have been carried to all North Carolina. \Ve fail to see tvhy the Church should, be brought into the matter ai: all.'. It has not been proved that anythiug un lawful was dbue in connection with the management of the defunct banks. And t even if this should be. proved why is the Church vo blame?. The reports evidently were started by pe»>oas who are always losing for some excuse to knock Chris- V. \ tianity and the Church, and they have been picked up and carried on by ignor ant people, many of whom probably lost something in the failure of the banks and who have allowed their prejudice to get the better of their sound judgment. Even if it should be proved that the banks’ offifficefs were rascals, why con demn the Church? “There have been hypocrites and weak vessels in the Church since it was founded and always, will be,” The Daily says, but “that does I not of itself affect the truth of religion; or the worth of the Church, ;The Church organization accepts men ou the pro fession of faith. If they are false to their professions it . is not the fault of the Church. The Church may be justly' blamed if it allows the erring one to, continue as if he had done nothing wrong, and thereby seemingly condones the of fense. There is where criticism is oftem well founded and the weakness of the; Church is that in many instances minis ters and officials of the organization are permitted to continue their ministrations without so much as a reprimand when they -are guilty of grave moral lapses, and sometimes continue their offending, without seeming re-sti’aint. ’ 316 LEAGUES. The League of Nations recently pub lished a handbook of international or ganizations which lists the name and gives a short summary of the objects of each. It may come as a surprise to most readers to learn that 316 bureaus, asso ciations and commissions are included in that list. They represent nearly fvery sort of human activity—religion, sport, eytmology, weather, medicine, language and so on. A great many of these organizations hold annual conventions or conferences, as oi\\ reading of the daily news shows. Representatives from many different countries attend their Respective conven tions. each learning for his own national group what peoples of other lauds are doing and thinking about these subjects, getting acquainted with people as well as ideas, and establishing common bonds of friendship and interest. Although confining themselves to re stricted fields in every case, each one of these three hundred and more organiza tions might be regarded as an. important member of a real and active, though un defined league of nations. Eventually, too, their existence and work will ben efit the big league whose purposes are broader than all theirs and include them nil " ! The fact that these 315 lesser leagues are ijtt work is evidence enough that the League of Nations is not dead. The smaller leagues have been formed by the real league, a<ud they are earryiiig on a magnificent work. PRESIDENT BOASTFUL. President Hardilig has had no hesi tancy in claiming all good things for his administration in the speeches he has made in his swing through the west. The President has always been particular riot to call the trip a political visit to those States which have shown stroug Demo cratic tendencies recently, but we fail to see how it can be called anything else. In practically every speech lie has made he has devoted the great part of his talk to a defense or rather an eulogy to the accomplishments of the government un der his administration. He wants the Republican nomination next year and he is bidding high for it. His utterances about what tlie admin istration has doue for the farmers is typical. He claimed it all. when everyone knows a farm bloc, together with the Democrats in the Senate, forced through all legislation that got throqgh. The ad ministration leaders opposeu Sv p r actically every bill that finally passed. Yet the President is claiming credit for it all now. PROTECTION NEEDED. Judge Pell, of the North Carolina Cor poration Commission, is of the opinion that the condition of State banks iu North Carolina is “much better thau us ual 1 It is gratifying to get this opinion. The Raleigh News and Observer finds that “oue of the reasons that this is so is .the firmuess of judges as revealed iu. sentences like that imposed by Judge Cranmer in Raleigh Friday and by Judge Bond in ‘Durham several weeks ago. Juries determined that the rights of depositors shall be protected are al so a factor in the Situation, though we do not discount the effect of careful sui>- ervisiou ou the part of the Corporation Commission.” We think banks in this State will con tinue to prosper if every time one fails and violation of banking laws is uncov ered punishment is inflicted. The courts really have the power to make or break the banks. They can pass -up without serious the cases concerning banking law violations and ruin every bank in North Carolina. Yet certain re sults from the courts, in which, convic tions and sentences are meted out. will inspire a wholesome fear on the part of the bank officials who have charge s os other peoples’ money. In discussing the conditions of banks iu North Carolina Judge Pell points out that convictions in bank cases are al ways hard to secure. He speaks of the-* “short-comings of the old banking laws, and suggests that these should be cured. The News and Observer thinks it would help if there were a law “forbidding bank officials and directors from borrowing from their own bbauks. 111 general the law should state the concrete aets which 'ave? under the ban, <aud_lhe elements of ’intention aud other elements of uncer tainty and difficult to establish left out of the equation altogether. Bankers then would know how fur they could go and 1 would be free from the temptation which obbtains under present laws to r-iqke reckless investments with funds in their charge.” > DOCTORS URGED TO STUDY CHARACTERS OF CHILDREN The Life of the Child in Controlled ami Limited by Inborn Tendencies. San Francisco, June 30.—The nature of a child’s conduct reactions depends ou two faetors. his/ inborn physical, and menal capacity for reacting, and the na tpre of his environment, Dr. Louis A. Lourie. of Cincinnati, told the section of diseases of children at the meeting of the American Ifledical Association here today. “It is the duty of the physician tP evaluate these factors and to use the data thus obtained to make a character diagnosis and outline proper treatment,” Mr. Lourie stated. Dr. Olga S. Bridgmau. of Sau Fran cisco, stated that the life of the child is controlled and"limited by inborn ten dencies that are read made, acquired ‘through the ages. “The function of en vironment.” said Dr. Bridgman, “is ( to select and stimulate the more desirable tendencies. Education 1111181 consist in undertaking the native capacities of the child and the means of their modification. Traits which need stimulation in one individual may need to De counteracted in ari<| her.” The vast experience of the. last few years conclusively demonstrates that vac cination against smallpox is harmless and effective and controls outbreaks of the disease, Dr. Victor Heiser, of the Rock efeller Foundation, told the section of Preventive Medicine of the association. “It is the duty of the profession.” Dr. Heiser added, “to inform the public that activities of those who oppose vaccina tion are responsible for the sacrifice of a vast number of human lives.” Dr. H. A. Pattinson, of New York, emphasized that fatigue has a definite influence in inducing infection with tu berculosis. “Fatigue is brought about not only by physical effort but also by study, social activities and tempera mental exhaustion.” lie said. Cotton Market Letter. NevT’Yorkj July 1. —The cotton market is now in the usual between-senson pe riod of dullness, listlessness, and indeci sion. The result has been a trading range of fluctuations and lack of in terest on the part of the trade or specu lation. At present writing, prices show little net change from a week ago. At the moment, the two oustanding features are sentiment and the weather, and new crops news. Last year at this time, we were in a period of rising prices for securities, with sentiment generally optimistic. The reverse is true at pres ent. The stock market lias been so se verely unsettled at times as to cause gen eral apprehension of impending further severe recation in trade and general busi ness all ‘markets has been severely shocked, and the present trend is to a pessimistic or bearish While this is of course susceptible to change, it , has re moved 4 very important element of de mand from the market dt the present time. As far as the crop il concerned, the market is now awaiting the second gov-" eminent condition report of the season, due Monday. A condition of slightly under 70 is expected, as against 71 last month. The month ha* apparently not brought the improvement liaped for. al though conditions % iu the past week have been more favorable than at any time so far this 'season. The oustanding fea ture of all replies to inquiries over the belt has been a complaint of unusual prevalence of boll weevil, although the plant is yet«“too small for much damage to have resulted. In view of the late ness of the crop, however, this may be a very serious consideration later on. Many fields are still grassy, owing to unusually wet conditions, and scarcity of labor is prevalent and an almost uni versal complain. The concensus of pri vate reports seems to indicate an acreage increase of about 70 per cent, over last year. The twenty-sixth was first notice day for July contracts. However, so far no cotton hits been tendered against July, and reports have been circulated of fair ly large shipments impending out of the local stock. We believe the possibilities of higher prices later in the summer still predomi nate to an unusual degree. For this reason, we advise buying new crop months on all declines, with a view pos sibly to accepting trading profits for the present, but keeping in mind the ulti mately bullish possibilities of the outlook us to the new crop and question of sup plies. The Weevil in Cabarrus. Salisbury Post. "It is useless for farmers of Caburrps county to plant cotton unless they are prepared to tight-the boll weevil,” ad vises The Concord Tribune. The large number of weevils found in the county, the paper thinks, is sufficient evidence to convince any one that the insect is here, and the farmers must accept the challenge laid down by the weevil and prepare to fight him. The situation is declared serious, but not hopeless, and The Tribune continues: In those parts of the United States where the weevil first appeared, the farmer are accustomed to him. They expect him each spring as they expect the weeds, aud they go about in a de termined manner to get rid of him. And they are successful. They no longer fear the weevil. They just figure on buying calieum arsenate or some other poison when They make their year’s bud get. In other words they just figure the cost of fighting the weevil as so much overhead, aud go about iu a systematic and determined manner in lighting him. North Carolina farmers should adopt the same policy. It is to be regretted that the weevil is g<4ng to make cotton raising and producing more expensive for the farmer, but the fact is already es tablished, and should be met squarely. A policy of ignoring the weevil will prove more expensive thau a fighting policy. A number of farmers iu this county have already discovered hundreds of weevils on their cotton, and if they Wjtut to make anyjrinoney from the cotton at all they wiIJL have to purchase some poison. R. D. Goodman, county farm agent, lias a car of poison now. Farmers should communicate with him if they have not already ordered a supply of the poison, for iu his opinion aud! in the (opinion of other Experts Ithe •CqlcUim .ar-. senate si the most practical iitps^n; to I use. and can be used with the greatest , benefit by farmers who have* had little or no experience in dusting their cotton.

July l.y-Intertytiug in the week's development of news over the Morrison state-owned steamship line* is a letter to a Raleigh paper from Charles H. Ireland, of- Greensboro, president of the North Carolina Traffic Association. Mr. Ireland discusses the governor's idea, but he doesn’t commit himself for it. He does suy, however, that: “1 was not a Governor Morrison man. but I honestly believe lie is the most practical business administrator North Carolina bus had in 35 years. Now, don't construe that to mean that I be lieve iu everything the governor does. I e;rti disagree with a man on some policy and then co-operate fully with him on Most of the things Governor Morrison' has advocated art* far-seeing aud wise, and history will justify him. . “You seem to think that I am hasty in my judgment as to water competi tion. Why. bless, you, friend, I’ve been contending for that for 30 years. I grant you that 1 see less chance for it today than I did 30 years ago because of conditions that make bold to assert we'll never have a stable freiglite rate in- North Carolina until we have a port of entry with rhilroads to carry freight into the interior.” Lutherans Will Observe a “Life Ser vice Week.” Furthering the program of the state synod, to pM on a campaign to enroll 100 men in ''the ministry the United Lutheran church of North Carolina will observe the week of July 1-8 inclusive as “Life Service Week.” during which Gme the needs and claims of the Gospel ministry will he presented aud an op portunity will be given to young men to give expression to their desire about en tering this calling. v At the last meeting of the synod it was decided to foster such a campaign aud the matter was referred to the executive committee which set the above mentioned dates stnd asked each pastor and congregation to present the matter to their respective people with the view of interesting the young men and of helping them to reach a definite de cision. ‘ • Mis*Kathleen Taylor is believed’ 1 to be the^.only ‘Woman in New, York .who js*in -entire charge of a large brokeragey office; • One million dollars was the price of the Mayfair mansion which the J American Women's Club in London has acquired for its ne\V' home. operated by wireless in loco motive cabs to signal to the engineers are being tested on the French railways. CONDITION OF PEOPLES BANK NOT AS TRAGIC AS REPORTED Committee of Depositors Allowed Access to Institution's Books Under Special Dispensation From Comptroller of Cur rency—Appointment of a Receiver Necessary. Salisbury, June 28. —Since the closing of the Peoples National Bank here on Jane 8 there have been all kinds of wild rumors about the condition of the insti tution and great speculation as to what the losses would be on the part of the depositors. Bank Examiners William Folger, who was in touch with the situa tion for some days before the bank closed, and has been in charge of the institution since it has closed, has obeyed the letter and the spirit of the law that, forbids him giving out any information. Today, however, a committee repre senting the depositors were received at the bnnk by Mr. Folger and shown every consideration. They were also shown all the papers, \notes and collateral on which the bank's moue" was loaned and learned first hand just how the bank .stands and what the prospects are for a final settlement. This interview and examination was made possible by per mission from the comptroller of the cur rency, this permission having been se cured by Mr. Folger. W. H. Hobson, chairman, speaking for the committee, stated after the examina tion of the bank that the impression the committee got was that the bank's'condi tion was bad enough to necessitate the appointing of a receiver, but the com mittee was surprised to find that the bank was not in near so bad a shape as it was understood' to be by the gen eral public. The examination was made under the supervision of Mr. Folger. whose courteous and kind treatment won the hearts of tlie committee. Members of the committee are forbid den to give out any figures, but their general statement as to conditions will be reassuring to the hundreds of deposi tors they represent. The committee is of the opinion that the only feasible thing to be done is the appointing of a receiver to close up t|ie bunk s business, arid it is expected that the receiver will be appointed at once. The committee representing creditors of the Mecklenburg Mills Company, whose failure precipitated the closing of four mills in the state outside of Rowan county and.four banks inside of the coun ty. has agreed upon a plan after several days of almost contiuuaus session that is now being submitted to the creditors and which the committee thinks will be, accepted nud will mean the appointment of operative receivers for the mills, so that they may resume operations. Several hundred of the depositors of the First National Banks of Spencer held an enthusiastic meeting in the court house tonight and eleeted C. W. Crowell. L. M. Slmrpe. L M. Ketchie, T. N. Pea cock. and M. L, Iviser to represent them in making future plans. Refuses Cabarrus Man’s Plea. Raleigh. June 20.—M. O. Verble.
