The editor of The Monroe Journal no- | ticed several days ago a truck load of j school children from a distant part of the j county riding through Monroe on a tour of inspection. Declaring the trip for the children colild be made in an hour or so now. The Journal says “there is nothing uncommon about a sight like this. It is j the order of the day." The journal js right. The automobile i has transformed things. It has made a vast difference in our daily habits, in the ! 'manner of living and in many phases of life. Writing recently in The T ni- i versity News letter Paul W. Wager de- j dared the automobile is fast transform- j jiig the relations of town and country | life, running the two sections together J and obliterating dissimilarities. The j schools are being transformed and the J Churcb.cs will follow. , “The country people," says Mr. Wa- j ger, “go to the county seat to trade., at tend lodge meetings, to consult a doctor or lawyer. The rural community has j been suddenly and marvelously enlarged.; It is true that the readjustment is not j yet completed. Old institutions are dy- j ing in some cases without new and bet-! ter ones to take their places. - The situ- j ation has changed so suddenly that a j lagging of readjustment is not surpris-j, ing. The reorganization of rural life in ! terms of the automobile and a larger community is the task of the hour.. It \ is a task that demands statesmanship and leadership of a high order. Is such ; ieadc-ship appearing and will it have the vision to build wisely? 'Not only will tlie automobiles change | both the city and the country but it will j blend them. The mingling of farmers j and townsmen is breaking down the pro-! vincialism of both. The ease with which the farmers get to .town and the ease j with which the urbanites get to the coun- 1 try means closer acquaintance and better j understanding between the two groups. Furthermore, many farmers and farmers’: sons arc finding employment in the cities,' driving back and forth fifteen or twenty! miles each day. On the other hand, the i business and professional men ol the i ••, # i cities are buying, farms and living on. i them several months in the year. This j movement is not so' pronounced as yet in ; the South as in some areas. It is v.erv j common in New England. Indeed tlicTau-| tomobile has already gone far in trails- j forming and revitalizing the rural life in New England.’’ “LINDY” SEES THE BULL FIGHT.' Despite protests lrom various agencies! and individuals. Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh went to a bull light in Mexico | City Sunday. Me said all along that he was going, since he went to Mexico as a guest anti not as a reformer. file people of Mexico don't sec any thing wrong with bull fighting. Tfiey ure as accustomed to it as we are to base ball and football. They might think an American lootball game was just as bru tal a> a bull fight. Colonel Lindbergh would have been foolish to have declined to invitation, since the fight was primarily arranged for his benefit. He spoke wisely when he said the people of Mexico know what they want. It is none of his business to tell them they shall not have what they have been having for all these years. J lie trouble with ,so many Americans visiting in- other lands is that they try to change customs as soon as they get there. They make everybody mad and instead of doing good they do evil. Col. Lindbergh has enough sense to be cour teous and he would have been anvthing but that if he had deliberately snubbed the bull fight party. \nd in this connection we see in Am bassador Morrow great wisdom through the manner in which he has accepted Mexican customs and contentions. He has not been arrogant, egotistic and bi ased. W hen problems were presented to him he didn’t start the argument with a declaration that the United States was always right and the other nations al ways wrong. He accepted the differences as a true diplomat. He has been willing to hear both sides of the question. He has giv *CJl a sympathetic ear to file Mexican con tentions. and because he has done this •Questions that were seriuos II months ago are working out alKright now. What good could Lindy*have created by refusing to attend the bull fight cm the pleas that such fights should not be j allowed? He might think they are too ; brutal but that doqen’t change the atti ; tude any of the Mexican people. They j think they are all right and were doing I him mi honor in staging one for his ben efit. He was wise in the decision to at tend. GOING TOO FAR. Senator Norris didn’t mince words in his denunciation of William R. Jlearst ! for the publication of certain documents charging four Senators with being party jto a slush fund raised in Mexico. The i other Senators were Borah, Heflin and | LaFolette. liearst said he bought the documents from a Mexican and in his examination before a Senate committee admitted that he did not think tile charges were true. The documents intimated that the four Senators were to receive about $1,000,- j 000, presumably for a friendly, attitude ! toward Mexico. i Senator Norris charges that liearst is a man "without honor” and charges him [with being unfair. Before such docu j ments were used, the Senator argued, j Mr. liearst should have made inquiry of i the Senators, and certainly should have 'expressed his own personal views. We agree with Senator Norris in the ! contention that the publisher did not do jail lie should have done. If he felt that i the documents did not represent the truth, and he admitted on the stand that such was his belief, he should have said ; so ill an article accompanying the docu | ments. Ratficr, if he felt that the docu | menls were not true lie should never | have published them. ’ * • • We doubt not that many other publi cations and agencies arc offered such doc uments as these. Senator Norris said •it was common knowledge in \\ ashiilg -1 ton that such papers are offered often, but where the publisher finds them to be j without fact they are turned down. That is what liearst should have done. He was particular to study the libel law before lie published them, lie admitted on the stand. lie did not carry the names : of theASenators, disclosing them for the i first time during his examination before the Senate committee. The fact that ! he studied the libel law first and omitted the names of the Senators proves, it j seems to us, that he knew something was ; wrong somewhere. liearst has a bitter hatred for Mexico and apparently was willing to make pub j lie documents he did not think were true j in an effort to prove that this nation has ! reason to despise Mexico. 1 hat is the i most serious aspect of the case it seems 'to us. If lie had anv other motive, \ what was it? : j . Just a deep-rooted hatred for every ; thing Mexican and he was willing to ( publish charges he didn’t think were true, : charges affecting seriously the reputation juf United States Senators, simply be cause he wanted cause further complica tions between the two nations. HELPING THE TIMID MALE. A Birmingham store has introduced a new idea for this part of the country. (Finding that many men feel a hesitancy 'about buying certain goods from women, ( especially when these goods are for other I women, this Birmingham store once a week replaced all female clerks with male j clerks,, the plan being tried at night only. ; One of Birmingham’s store executives, j commenting on the innovation, says: "The plan works something like this-: Invitations are issued by mail to men : residents that, on such-and-such a night, j such-and-such a store will be open to , men and that all saleswomen will be sup j planted with salesmen, thus precluding | any embarrassment in certain depart i ments. "We were not only most successful I with this evening financially., with store ! crammed (till of men seeking sanctuary' j for one evening of uninterrupted shop ping but had an. amusing and entertain ing time as well. The only improve ! ment I would make on the occasion would be to have it earlier and this year 1 am going to have two of them. "Speaking of our evening last year, and the amusing as well*as the success ful financial side of it, the men shoppers j made quite a lark of it. Wa had only 1 13 men to wait on customers, and the I store became so filled that patrons had j to be directed to go ahead and make their selections alone.-The men were all about having lots of fun out of each other trying on kimonas, hunting for sizes and so on. It was three hours of real fun and profit, for the sales were very large, ;and the store crowded during the entire time with men streaming in up until the (last minute.” —■— j TELL THEM ABOUT THE SOUTH. > j 1 11 the course of an announcement of | a.special issue planned for publication bv [Abe Charlotte Observer the following : j amazing statement is made about the rjdack of information in regard to North THE CONCORD TIMES, CONCORD, N. C. ' Carolina in the text books studied in the schools of that state. Oil this point The Observer says: “The high school, students of North Carolina find more information in their text books about the resources of the Congo than they do of their own state. There is not a text book in print* which gives the slightest conception of the dra matic struggles made bv the leaders of industfy to place North Carolina in the front rank of states as a great industrial, center and the rising generation is given practically no information about the state’s billion dollar industry or the his-' tory of its establishment.” •> : The Manufacturers Record thinks it is time the text books in the South gave the students an accurate idea of what the South is doing. It is well and good to know about the Congo, but it is far better for the children to know about their own South, its progress, its future hopes and the men and things who have made it the talk of the world today. The Record wisely says: We do not for a moment question the accuracy of Mi is statement, and yet it is a striking illustration of the unwisdom of educational work in the South which never has adequately set forth what the South has, what it is doing, and what the history of the Old South tells of the men who created the business interests of that section. W’e' have often marveled to find that many professors in Southern, colleges know so little about the Old ( South or the real achievements of the South of today. For years we’ liavje been pleading with Southern educational institutions to stress the importance of the history of the South from the indus trial or business standpoint as to its past and its present. It is gratifying to see that The Observer has come out with such a bold statement, which should diahenge the attention of every educator in North Carolina and challenge the at tention of every father and mother in the South who should demand that their children be adequately trained and edu cated in a knowledge of the South. WHAT WILL BE THE PLEA? It is almost impossible to conceive of the thought that led to the kidnapping and murder of the 12 7 year old Los An geles girl. Lured from home by a lie, the child was forced to write her parents and then before the demands of the kid nappers were met, she was mutilated and murdered. Rewards totalling $50,000 have been offered for the arrest of the guilty per sons and it is hoped this huge sum, plus the aroused ire of the whole country, will lead to a quick solution to the mystery. There have been few such revolting ,crinies in the history of America. It makes ones blood boil to contemplate the fate of this innocent child. And when the trial finally comes up, for the murderers will caught, there will be the same old pleas of insanity. There will be efforts to make the trial dral along until the public has somewhat forgotten the horrible details, and tech nicalities galore. Every agency at their command will be utilized and no doubt it will be months and probably years be fore the guilty persons ever pay for their dastardly crime. One can hardly picture a sane person cutting off the arms and legs of a girl, or wrapping a wire around her neck and sticking the ends through her eyelids. \ et, one cannot picture an insane person mapping out such a program as the slay ers did in this case. The letters to the father of the girl were not the products of a diseased mind. They were written by a distorted, evil and designing mind, but we can’t afford to let such people cs , cape the full power of the law. The whole thing was planned by some crini-; inally inclined persons who showed aj brutality seldom equaled in American j history. There should be no let-up in the man hunt until the guilty persons are caught and then justice should move with speed and determination. We can’t afford to let such Vases as this drag through ourj courts. America cannot sit idly by while such crimes as this are being committed. 1 It demands speed and vigor, both on the part of the law enforcement officers and the court officers. DON’T TAKS CHANCES WITH CHILDREN. Suggestion has been made by one of Concord’s physicians that the public schools should be closed three weeks in* ■ stead of two, so that scores of children now suffering with measles will have time to thoroughly recover from the ef fects of the disease ? before: resiimijjg work. • . ? , i \\ itliout seeking to dictate a policy to the school officials we pass the sugges 'tion on to them, with the, belief that they iarc primarily interested in file welfare qf the children. 'Measles often a cLis -11 res Anr after-effect in cases the eyes of the patient. For that reason this physician < suggested that work should be halted for three weeks, so that those .children who are ill, or those who will be ill during the holiday season may have time, to thoroughly re cover before resuming their work. We can’t afford to take chances with the children. It is a fact that scores of them are ill now and while the holiday season may check the spread of the mal ady, it will not bring to an end complete ly the epidemic now sweeping the coun ty, and school officials, it seems to us, would be wise to give consideration to this physician’s suggestion. The disease is especially prevalent among the primary grades and these children are just at the age where their future is at stake. Bad effects of measles might leave them handicapped for the re mainder of their lives, and certainly no such ill. effect would follow from an ad ditional week’s holiday. Our suggestion is that the school officials give this mat ter consideration, remembering that their first duty is to see that the children are not unnecessarily exposed to conditions that: might hamper them through life. • Washington, it is said, dos not like at all the Hilles statement that President Ccolidge will he forced to accept the Re publican nomination.! It is felt in.the capital that the President has been ex plicit enough finally on this question and that his admirers ar,e doing an injustice to him and so others who want yto -be candidates when - they -insist that the President will- be forced to accept the nomination. In this attitude we sympa thize with the President. We do not think he was explicit enough in the Au gust statement, but certainly in his talk before the National Committee he was plain enough, and there was in the state ment no hint that he wants to have or will accept the nomination again. By insisting that President Coolidge is tlie one man they want certain Republicans arc leaving the impression that the oth ers mentioned for the place arc not suit able, and this is embarrassing to them and their supporters. Certainly in some quarters some Republicans are giving the impression that the party is without Presidential timber with the elimination of the President. That may be true but certain of the Republican leaders don’t want it emphasized to such an extent. TOO SOON FOR PROPHECY New York World. < The speculation in Washington as to the pos sibility of a veto of the new Tax bill, because it i calls tor a reduction in excess of what the admin istration believes to bo the safe limit, is a bit premature. The bill in its present form is by no : means the measure which will eventually be pre sented to President Coolidge for his signature. It has yet to run the gauntlet in the Senate, where it will be considerably altered if that body ad- 1 heres to its long-established custom. Then it will go to.conference and emerge as a hybrid of the House and Senate productions. What can happen may be inferred from a sum mary of the history of the Revenue Bill of 1020. As it passed the House, that bill called for a cut of $325,000,000 or $25,000,000 more than rccom-j i mended by the treasury. The -Senate went the House one better by ruisiug the cut to $450,000,- j 000. The conferees compromised with a redijie- 1 tion of $587,000,000. When the Senate got the bill from the House it. proceeded to throw out - the estate tax and the taxes on automobiles and theatre admissions. When the measure went to conference these taxes were restored, but with - some changes from the rates in the House bill. | Something similar may be expected from the present Congress. Whether the Senate will again i favor more drastic reductions than the House lias : made cannot, of course, be foretold. If it listens favorably to the plea of the National Chamber of Commerce for a total reduction of $400,000,000. as is expected by some Washington observers, the House will hardly concur. But it is too early to i judge whether the Senate will again'prove more t liberal than the House, or whether this time it will hold closer to the limit urged by the admin-1 istration. I PROGRESS r— i Tampa Tribune. | , Newton lb Baker, secretary of war during the I luttorN part of Wilson's presidency, yielded to a ] , newspaper reporter's request the other day and i glanced back over the past quarter-century for changes. lie found that in lus opinion, the world < is improving. He named four items of betterment. Business morality has infinitely improved over "’hat it was even 20 years ago. Modern conveni ences have given more leisure which the public is using more wisely. The political life of the country lias vastly improved—the oil scandals and other evils of the period are bad enough, but should not be considered typical of the times or ,the fvhole political field. Education has iw : proved in technique and content. There are occasions when it takes much opti | inisrn to see these gains. But au houest and in telligent person must recognize that on the whole they are accomplished facts. OUR CHARITY SITUATIONS Rutherford County News. ! E\ery community that is progressive has churity problems. Holy Writ says, “The poor ye I have with you always.” There are people in our 'community who need and will get no Christmas treat unless someone helps them. There are child ren who will not known about Santa's visit on Christmas Eve, unless they get help. The case of this distress is another story, which we shall not discuss. The Associated Charities which was organized last fall has not properly functioned. It has done much good. The News suggests that, since the va - nous churches land , givic • organizations' of the •community willHlo chiuitiywork. soon, that they • inform the superintendent-oif public welfare-or pastor of the various churches just who thev will help, so the work will not be duplicated and no one missed, lbe list of needy cases will be pub* lbhed next week, Pick opt the ones you wish to - help and notify'the superintendent of public wel fare er your pastor. Then the wfcifate officer and pastors can co-operate and much good be ae- 1 compnscaa. STATISTICS OF FREE HOVE New York World. The Rev. Rr. John Haynes Holmes, says a dispatch from Chicago, told an audience at the Abraham Lincoln Centre that “marriage may be come obsolete: free love is more prevalent than at any other time in history.” If such is the case, it would be idle to deny that the situation is grave. But is such the case? Is free love “more prevalent than at any other time in history?” If so, liow T does the reverend doctor know'? Has he any exact statistics? If he has, we doubt their authenticity. For we sus pect that it is part of the nature of those who indulge in free love to lie about it afterward, and thus any figures that have been collected from them must be very dubious. And if the reverend doctor hasn’t any exact statistics, why does he speak so confidently and get people excited over a state of affairs which must exist largely in his own imagination? For our part, we believe that this free-love business is pretty much the same now as it was fifty years ago or a hundred and fifty years ago. So we decline to get excited, or to fear that the human race is going to pot. It lias been going to pot, we notice, at all times ih its history, and yet it never seems to get there. As to marriage, the last time we visited the city ball there were two or three hundred persons waiting, to get married, and that strikes us as enough for one day. DEGENERATED RELIGION Winston-Salem Journal. “King Ben” Purnell died Friday. “King Ben" j was head of the House of David, an eccentric religious sect, the members of which shared an im plicit confidence in his motives and leadership. No authentic mention was made of liis death at the colony because his disciples thought it would be .useless since lie would rise on the third day. j which was yesterday. *But Monday came and j “King Ben” remained cold and lifeless in death, i The form that had been his continued to He mo tionless —there was no resurrection on “the third j day." v Such freaks as “King Ben" and his House of ! David colony may do "some good—by contrast they! bring ofit into clear relief the value of rational 1 and sane religious beliefs. People think religious j thoughts with the same mind they think any other i kind of thoughts. A wholesome religion and a ! healthy mind are mutually essential. Some peo- i pie take no interest in religion at all. They ride j along with the tide apparently believing that the j ebb can never change into the flow. But there j can be no such a thing as the absolute disappear- [ mice of religion. Nor will human beings ever out- 1 grow it. But religion can degenerate into mean- j ingless, unintelligent, even.immoral forms. Os, the j latter, "King Ben’s” outfit was a startling illus- j t rati on. j RUSSIA “GRANDSTANDING” Charlotte News. On the heels of Russia’s doubtful proposal to j scrap all armaments, there"now comes news that Moscow is Tormenting the revolution in China and that Russian officers are at the head of the bloody j Communist uprising. When Russia made her startling recommenda- j tion a few weeks ago that every nation in the , world destroy its military and naval forces, there by bringing an effectual end of war, other powers were dubious. Russia lmd been caught red-. handed arousing discontent in England. She was accused by the United States of mixing into j Mexican affairs and suspected generally of being i at the bottom of disturbances all over the world. And Geneva delegates co|Uld not believe the wolf , could so suddenly be transformed into a lamb. i Now. by its activities in China, the Soviet lias 1 given further proof that it was playing to the in- 1 ternational grandstand at Geneva. It is trying to shake hands in daylight and slit throats at j night. TAX REDUCTION PROSPECTS Ijp . Charlotte Observer. The Washington correspondent of The New j York Journal of Commerce indicates that the j Democratic opposition to making the proposed reduction to corporate income taxes retroactive j is going to be lost. Representative Garner is | leader in this opposition and lie is reported as admitting that he would probably not be able to j hold the Democrats in line, while there is some talk that there will be quite a block of Republi- i can votes go to him. The total, however, is ex pected to fall short of a sufficient number to va cate the action of the committee and leave the 1 proposed 11 1-2 per cent rate to be applied for! the first time against the corporate net ‘incomes’ of next year. The Democrats have three other objectives—a j further reduction by one-lialf of 1 per cent in the j corporate tax rates, repeal of the tax on admis sions and dues and repeal of the tax on automo- ! biles. While not all of the Democrats a re, in sym pathy with a further corporate tax cut it would be hard to find auy number who will fail to sup- i port the- other two moves. It is predicted that! the move to repeal the automobile tax will be j successful. lIEARST AT BAT Durham Herald. M. R. Hearst says of the Democratic presides- j tial possibilities, James A. Reed stauds the best! chance of being elected and Alfred E. Smith the j best chance of- being nominated. It is a bit sur-; prising that Hearst would admit that AI stands a good chance of achieving any honor. Hearst is not a Smith admirer, and the feeling is re ciprocated by AI. The more Hearst attacks Smith, the stronger Smith gets. One of the reasons for * aige M, Pl ,ort is the enemies lie has made, j But, we can’t figure out how Reed stands any 1 bet ter chance of election. He is wet, aud the j prohibitionists, if they are consistent, will be against him. He was the bitterest enemy Wood row Wilson bad except .Henry Cabot Lodge and. therefore, should not have the hearty support of Wilson's friends. He has no platform that will win votes from the Republican party, and for any Democrat to be elected lie will Laic to carry 1 the Democratic states aud win a lot of Republican j votes to boot. —- ENGLAND’S VANISHED CIVILIZAZTION G.
