KICK ROUGHNECKS OUT
We don't suppose there is half the
snobbishness in the army that its
claimed by any number of indus
trious persons, but there is no pood
reason why the facts should not be
learned and the offendiny: officers dis
missed from the service, if a severe
reprimand will not cause them to
mend their ways.
In the army as in civil-life there
are different classes of people.
Some officers are as cultured, and
considerate as any class of men in
the e very-dy world; some are ju3t
brutes. These last have no place in
any commniry, but they can be driv
en out of the army.
One hears various tales of discrim
ination against the man in uniform
but it must be borne in mind that a
few hundred sailors, on short duty
from a lon;r cruise at sea, are most
likely to take the town, although
each man acting separately is a
thorough gentleman. A crowd of
men in any walk of life would raise
jsome devilment if they should set
out for the gentle object of painting
the old town red. We have no
idea hotels, restaurants or thea
tres consciously have discriminat
ed against the uniform; they have
learned from experience that the
uniform on certain occasions does
not protect them.
But this is aside from the question
of snobbishness in the army. We
have no sympathy with the guys who
pose as gentlemen and humiliate
their superiors morally and intel
lectually, and should like to see them
sent into outer darkness. At the
same time, we would not attempt to
undermine the service.
We may think we are up against
it,and most of us are hard up for
money and frequently for necessi
ties. There are millions of people,
however, who cannot live' unless we
help them. The Armenians, Ser
bians, Belgians and Syrians have
been murdered or outraged, and com
mon humanity raises its voice to us
to help them.
ing the freeze. . Cut off from their
usual feeding grounds by ice and
snow for more than a week, their
little bodies have begun to weaken
under hunger. Wonder how many
people have thought of the birds?
The other day a sparrow flew into
an open window. It was desperate.
The next day some wheat screenings
were thrown out Avhere they could be
found by the sparrows the other
birds that frequent our town seem
to have gone farther south.
We are told that many farmers in
Catawba county provide for the
feathered creatures during the se
vere weather. Then these farmers
feel better when they retire at
night. They know that they have
helped their friends.
Everybody should make it a point
to feed the birds in severe weather.
The town sparrow deserves no sym
pathy, but the birds f the fields and
woods are spring and summer allies
of the farmer, and he should be
their friend in winter.
Save good cotton seed, urges C.
U. Hudson of the state department
of agriculture. Save all good
seed. The supply may be short in
the spring.
for the steps taken in time much
suffering would have resulted.
The water pipes that did not freeze
up during the last 10 days were put
in by somebody who expected to go
out of business.
The Record is carrying the ad
vertisements these days, but we will
need them in January and February
too.
The Record does not care anythihng
about politics, though it has its op
inions occasionally and lexpects to
express them when it feels like it.
,Of course the government wastes
some money. Government always has
and always will. Who doesn't
waste some?
