THE COOPER MURDER
The murder of Robin J. Cooper,
whose pistol killed Senator Edin W.
Carmack in the most ' sensational
murder ever known in Tennessee, was
himself murdered last week and his
body thrown into a stream near his
home at Nashville, Tenn. Wheth
er the murder was prompted by a
desire to rob him of some money he
was supposed to have had on his per
son or whether it was to avenge the
killing of Carmack nobody can say.
If the murder was the result of a
desire for vengeance, the slayer or
slayers doubtless would have rifled
his pockets and clothes, to make the
case as complicated as possible. One
does not know.
The Carmack murder shocked the
country. Carmack, a brilliant man and
a prohibitionist, attacked Patterson
and Cooper in a Nashville paper. They
deserved what he said about them ot
course, as events proved, and he was
murdered because he stood for prohib
ition. The Cooper murder will be dif
ficult to clear up, but the public will
display much interest in it.
Western cattle and hog raisers
will now raise a howl over the drop
in meat prices. Somebody must bear
the loss, but everybody hopes it will
be the other fellow.

troon, and unworthy of the respect
of any decent man, but which will
also make him see that he is neipmg
to murder human liberty, as great a"
crime as murdering the individual
man
In short, we need a revival which
will make every man and woman
strive in every act of life to do that
which, on the great Judgement Day,
they will wish they had done, as
with soul uncovered they stand be
fore the Judgment Seat of v the
Eternal.
Until the people of this nation ac
cept and live this religion there will
be strife where there should; be

murder where there should be co so to them."
friendship and love
In the Golden Rule, followed in
the fullness of the spirit of this kind
of religion, there would be found a
solution for every' business trouble,
there would be created friendship
between employer and employe; cap
ital and labor work in harn.ny and
with efficiency, efficiency for the
capital and; efficiency for the labor,
with profit to both.
Rplie-ion of this kind is not meas
ured by the hope of a Heaven here
after, but by the full fruition now
of "Peace on earth to men good
will.'"
It is not merely the chanting oi
hymns here or in the world to come,
but it is in the recognition ana iun
application by rich and poor, by
learned and unlearned, that each one
is indeed his brother's keeper, and
that we can bring this country and
the world back to safety.
A nation-wide acceptance of this,
the only true religion in action,
would bring business peace and
world peace where there is now tur
moil, and men would then cease to
seek to gain their aims by lawless
acts of immlorality, but would in
spirit and in deed follow the Divine
command, "All things whatsoever ye
would that men do to you, do ye even

AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER?
Gen. Louis Botha, the South Afri
can Boer whose military genius made
it necessary for the British govern
ment to send overwhelming forces in
to that country 20 years ago, has
just died at an advanced age. He
looms as large as General Smuts,
though the latter was more promi
nent in the news dispatches during
the great war. Botha conquered Ger
man Southwest Africa, while Smuts
sat at the conference board of the al
lies. The world owes much to Bo
tha and Smuts, two rebels who ac
cepted the turn of fortune's wheel in
good faith and who did their part in
saving the allies from defeat. No
finer tribute could be paid to Brit
ish statesmanship than their dearings
with the defeated Boers, who shoul
dered guns 20 years after they had
been defeated and won another empire.

And Let Us Furnish
The Material
Various and sundry Irishmen have
appeared before a congressional com
mittee and with impassioned rhetor
ic urged the defeat of the peace
treaty because, in their opinion, it
would bind Ireland to England foi
all time. Chief objection to the
treaty is that it would prevent an
other nation Germany, for example
from going to the aid of Irelnd.
If that is the principal objection,
then the treaty should be ratified at
once. Irishmen who would plunge the
world into war deserve no considera
tion. The Record tries not to be
anti-anything, but the Sinn Feiners,
led by their Catholic priests, have
just about caused most Americans to
avocate anything they are against.
A Massachusetts man, Oliver D.
Hovey, died the other day at the age
of 80 years and left buried treasure
estimated at between $25,000 and $50,
000. He was known to have pur
chased bonds amounting to $23,000,
but nobody knows where they were
hidden. A chart indicating the spot
on a farm where the treasure was
hidden was left by the man and per
sons in his neighborhood will have
a feverish time deciphering it and
digging for bonds and gold. It re
minds one of the tales of Captain
Kidd or the stories of Edgar Allen
Poe.
The Record home guard corre
pondent had the pleasure of run
ning across several old friends in
Charlotte last week. Or;e of them
was Frank Spruill of Lexington,
who toted a rifle much of th time,
and another was Dorma.i Thompson
of Statesville, who must have re
duced his weight during the few
days he pounded the pavement.
These two are as fine men as can be
found in the state.
Schools are opening in all parts of
the state and next Monday the
