An overdose of ego in any individual
Is repugnant in a measure, and most
ppopie prefer to let others do the
patting on the back if any is to be
done. But there is no harm in catling
attention to a condition that is gen
erally applicable, and not wholly bo
in a specific case to the exclusion of
all others. With that thought in mind.
Bruce Catton’s thought as to the place
of the newspaper in its community
might be interesting. That writer
says:
What would happen in any city if it
should be suddenly deprived of ita
daily newspaper?
Perhaps the best answer to that
question can be found in what ac
tually did happen at Butte, Montana,
recently when the town’s two dally
newspapers suspended publication for
sevens! days during a wage he ale
controversy with printers.
With the public cut off from its
authentic sources of news, all sorts
of wild rumors began to fill the air,
gaining speed—and believers—as they
traveled.
Said one rumor: A terrible mardsr
had been committed near the city.
Said another rumor: Bonus rioters
had blown up the White House.
Said a third: President Hoover had
been assassinated.
The city was in & turmoil. Wild
stories of every sort were circulated
and—human nature being what it U
—found eager believers.
There is probably no clearer ex
ample of the important part that
newspapers play in our daily lives.
Butters experience proves that sus
pension of newspapers, even for &
limited time, can become a calamity
of dangerous proportions.
: Rumor and falsehood slink in the
darkness, but truth loves the light
apd thrives upon it.
Ail of which helps explain why
newspaper editors, recognizing their
public duty, are insistent in their de
mand for freedom of the press and
opposed to censorship of any kind,
since censorship is merely a form of
suppression of the news. Not a few
Motors, faced tqdb contempt **»-
|son* by judges who arrogate ■anto
themselves the power to say what the
public shall read—and what it shall
not —have gone to jail in defense of
this principle.
"The truth hurts,” says the old
adage—but publication of the truth
never hurts any community.
UNIVERSITY RUNNING TRUE
TO FORM.
(Burlington Times-News.)
When the stats hoard of elections
met yesterday it was petitioned to Alt'
low.the name of Norman Thomas, sor
clajiat candidate for president, to ap
pear on the stats ballot And who d©
you suppose presented their cause?
Three guesses. Two professors from
the state university at Chapel Hill and
one student. The News and Observer
in reporting the procedure says:
“Representatives of the Socialists
made the only appearance before the
board when It mst hers yesterday to
consider the question. Two University
of North Carolina professors—E. B
Ericson and Raymond Adams — and
a student, A. A. Lawrence,
in behalf of Norman Thomas, the
party’s candidate for President.
Ericson said a state convention of
North Carolina Socialists will be held
in Greensboro, September 10,-to name
elector*.
Speaking of Socialist plans, Ericsqn
said 900 petitions have been distri
buted —in anticipation of the action
taken by the board today—but there
wan little, lDphfeood 10,000 papas*
f»*ypi*t ho, sepumd* Its- the

OWk described ss a '‘protest vats."
Tfcootos, it was said, probably wttl

vember, making agftsaranoes hare) at
Chaps! Hill and- Greensboro.”
This publication, along with many
others in the state, chiefly the South
ern Textile Bulletin, have, been rath
er warm in their criticism of the Uni
versity for harboring socialist, ocm
munist and the like, for which in turn
tbs press has been severely criticised
by publication at the University, Is
there little wonder that the press has
feit called upon to speak a word in
defense of the parents of boys and
girls who go to the state supported
.(University. These parents do not want
socialists teaching their children and
the taxpayers who support the Uni
versity do not want Socialism taught
there. Neither do they desire that
such be the environment of the Uni
versity. The authorities of the Uni
versity deny any intentions of wrong
doings, but ever so often something
of the kind mentioned above crops out
to plague their proteaned good inten
tions. Page Mr. David Clark.
So. in this instance, as in aJi others
of the kind, the state university is
running true to form.
THE COLONEL'S PLATFORM.
From out of his political sanctum
sanctorum came this week our wide
eyed and all-hearing hero, Colonel Oof
ibottomslup) Shinn, bearing in his
mighty hand a sheet of paper which
bore the outpourings of his dynamic
brain upon the volcanic questions of
the hour. With a free-feeling move
ment. the indomitable Colonel spread
live ponderous document before us,
and it read:
“Empty-stomach countrymen, lend
me your ears: With an X-ray pene
tration of the situation of the coun
try, l, your hippy-hop servant, and
candidate for King of America on the
great Bread and Butter Party ticket,
have prepared the following nation
shaking platform:
“I am in favor of socks that have

i “I favor bigger and fatter pocket
books for everybody, everywhere, in
cluding the forgotten man.
“I am in favor of the people against
the. politicians.
"I am in favor of more doughnut
and less hole.
“1 am in favor of bigger navies for
those who want it and smaller navies
for those that don't want it.
"I am in favor of less governmental
taxation and more governmental ex
penditurest that is, tax less and spend
more.
“I am in favor of the wets and drys.
“I favor larger salaries and bigger
dividends.
“I pledge myself to fight for the
prevention of books and slices in golf.
“To pass legislation making it com
pulsory for fish to bite hooks, any
where. any time.
"To advocate legislation prohibit
ing people from asking, ‘How’s busi
ness?' when everybody knows that no
one knows anything about it.
"To offer rewards for every after
dinner speaker that is crowned into

‘‘To prohibit the issurance of long

politicians about the economic condi

DR. FEWADDRESSES
EDUCATIONAL MEET
Says That Effective Educa
tion Must Take Effect In
Lives Os StudenU
Asheville Aug. 25 (AP) —Colleges
should educate youth "to be citizehs of
two worlds.” Dr. W. P. Few, presi
dent of Duke University, declared
here last night in addressing the an
, ruual educational conference.
“If under the power of materialis
tic philosophy the picked youth of this
or any other generation are educated
merely for time and place, and not to
be citizens of two- worlds, then the
salt of life has lost its savor, and the
light of the world has gone out," Dr.
Few said.
Liberal arts colleges, he added,
“should emphasize purposive psychol
gy, personalistic philosophy, and so
far as possible, the other sciences of
man, to the end that its students may
escape the blightin gdogmas of a me
chanistic or even a materialistic con
ception of the world and on the other
hand have their early years to lie
fallow in the sunshine of life and their
minds braced and their souls wamjed
by an atmosphere charged with hope
and aspiration.”
Dr. Few emphasized the need of
personal contacts between teachers
and students . and among students
themselves.
For this, he said, colleges, need ‘‘as
good living conditions and social
equipment a!s the yean provide and
the beat ’teachers they, cat! procure.”
“t will not be enough to furnish
educational opportunities” he said.
”We must seek to stimulate and guide
..-our students. W* will be judged not
by our processes but by our products.
“We must make education effective;
that is we make it actually, taka
effect in the thinking, In the lives and
n the characters of our students and
' graduates.”

panies should be willing to take a
small loss along with every one else.
There are indications that the Cor
poration Commission is inclined to
take this latter view.
The Corporation Commission can
not order a reduction in rates on the
basis of testimony given in these con
ferences, but it can latter demand
the companies to show cause why
their rates should not be reduced by
the commission*. If they do not fol
low the "advice” of the commission
now and voluntarily reduce their
rates. The prevalent belief is that
most of these companies will much
prefer to reduce their rates volun
tarily than have formal proceedings
brought and run the risk of having
the Corporation Commission reduce
their rates for them. They have not j
forbotten what happened in South |
Carolina, when the South Carolina
Railroad Commission made rastic re
ductions in the rates of the utility
companies. Knowing that If they do
not reduce their rates voluntarily they
will have them reduced any way, it
is believed that most of the utility
companies will agree to make volun

Figures brought out in the confer
ence here today showed that the Dur
ham Public Service Corporation,
which is merely a distributing cor
poration, since it buys most of its
power from the Duke Power Com
pany, bought from that company 17,-
877,000 kilowatt hours of electric en
ergy in 1931 at an average cost of
less than nine-tenths of a cent a kilo
watt hour, or .844 cents, to be exact.
There was a loss or shrinkage of
about 2,500,000 kilowatt hours, making
the cost of the 16.377,000 kilowatt
hours resold or used cost the company
an average of only 1.36 cents per kil
owatt hour. This energy was resold at
an average retail price of 4.45 cents
per kwh.
The Durham Public Service Cor
j poration maintained that the actual
cost of the energy It bought from
the Duke Power Company, as well as
the cost of operation, overhead, in
terest on stock and bonds, amounted
to 3.71 cents per kilowatt hour while
the average retail cost was only 4.45
cents per kilowatt hour, leaving the
company a net profit of only .74 cents
per kilowatt. It was indicated by soma
however, that the spread of more than
three cents a kilowatt for operating
expenses and fixed charges was out of
keeping with the original cost of 1.36 j
cents per kilowatt hour and the aver
age retail cost of 4.45 cents per kwh.
The present average residential rate
In Durham is 5.88 cents per kwh, the
average commercial rate 6.063 cents
per kwh, the average power rate 2.68
cents per kwh., and the average muni
cipal lighting rate 3.92 cents per
kwh. This shows that the home own
ers and merchants pay the highest
rate, te city the tird ighest rates for
street lightning and manufacturers
the lowest rate.
