Many editors. of small papers re-j GRADED SCDOOL
fuse to give ersitqr tkA Loyd, Mamie
on the ground that editonajs are for Neathery, Elizabeth Winston, Wil
the large city papers and the public liam Cozart, Grey Jeffereys, Leslie
UOT5 uul ..v-vmCi
country editor. As a matter. of fact,
the views of the rurul population are
really reflected by the editorials of
the large city papers, which glean
them from the country papers which
run editorials. The scAind . thought I
of the country is to be found in the
rural districts. Here, in the more or
less quiet of the country, men and
women read and study gather' data
which results in conclusions found
ed on a solid basis, sometimes this
though may be biased by the enthu
siasm aroused by the impractical re
former or selfish politician who runs
off at a tangent with some hew fad
or "ism," but generally such fads
are short lived and the sensible
thinker of the country districts re
turns to the sane and solid and
conservative attitude which has al
ways distinguished him. The editor
of the coutry paper, therefore ,has
a duty to perform in crystallizing
this thought and sending it out to
the world as the coutribution of the
country to the agitation of the day.
The country editor, usually is a com
paratively poor man, but he has
sand and independence and a pride
of work rarely found in other pro
fessions. Moreover he is bronght
into closer peasonal contract with
his constituency than the editor of
the big city paper. It is safe'to say
that never before in the, history of
journalism have editorials been
more widely or more carefully read,
perhaps as in the old days, to base
an opinion on the view of the editor,
but for the purpose of getting all
sides of every- question.

EXECUTIVE
STATE OF NORTH CAEOLIA
The General Assembly,' of nineteen hundred and fifteen
amende the insurance laws of North Carolina, and, among
other things, enacted; .
"It shall be the duty of the Insurance Commissioner
and Superintendent of Public Instruction to provide
as far as practicable for the teaching of Fire Pre
vention ' in the colleges and schools of the State, and,
if the way be open, to arrange for a text-book adapted
to such use. Also by adding to said section as section
four thousand seven hundred and twenty-one (b) the
following:. 'The ninth day of October of each and
every year shall be set aside and designated as Fire
Prevention Day, and the Governor shall issue a procla
mation urging the people to a' proper observance of
the said day, and the Insurance Commissioner shall
bring the day and its observance to the attention of the
officials of the municipalities of. the State, and
especially to the firemen;
suitable programs to be followed in its observance.
Now,v Therefore, I, LOCKE CEAIG, Governor of Jtforth
Carolina, in accordance with this statute, do issue ihis my
PROCLAMATION, and I do set aside and designate ;
Saturday, the 9th. day oflOctober, 1915, as
Fire Prevention Day
and do urge all the people to a proper observance of this day
in obedience to ,tfce i law of North Carolina. I urge the public
ischools of the State and the municipal officers thereof to give
jproper and formal precognition of the day and its meaning, and
request the citizens generally to give special attention on that
day to the condition of their premises, to the end that the waste
: and loss of property and life by fire may. be reduced in this
-State.
L . The loss by' fire amounts approximately to three million
, dollars a year in North Carolina. A large per cent of this lor
lis unnecessary and can be prevented. Human life, too, is
heedlessly sacrificed.
. v We should rehiedy the conditions, that entail this enormous
expense and - loss suffered, not only by those whose' property
land lives are destroyed, but by aU citizens in the high rates of
insurance caused .by unnecessary fires. . The prevention of the
: needless destruction of - the fruits of our labor and of human
is a duty dictated by economy and humanity.
