MONDAY, JUNE 6., 1921 THE BROADENING INFLUENCE From The Philadelphia Record.) The Presidency is having the broad ening and elevating influence on Mr. Harding that it had on Mr. McKinley. At Arlington his address was as little like those he used to make at Marion as can be imagined. "Our country, he said, "has never failed to measure up to the demands presented to it in behalf of humanity, and it never will." But the last four words impose a mor al obligation, or assume one, and Mr. Ixdge would not have the United States assume even a moral obliga tion, "counsel no selfishness, no little Americanism, no mere parochialism." That is not front porch talk. "We find ourselves as a people occupying a place of vast responsibility in the world We cannot evade if we would Civilization must face disaster is there shall be denial either of common responsibility or the es sential equality among sovereign Statai and persons." These things sound like the utterances of a Presi dent of the United States, and not like those of a candidate for the Presiden cy running on a platform built by Henry Cabot Lodge, with help from Senator Borah and Johnson. Perhaps Nature Had No Vision. It was the Columbia State which eaid: "Reveries of a .bachelor. If nature had intended knees to go bare she would have made them prettier." SOCIALISTIC EXPERIMENTS Philadelphia Record. Americans formed a Socialistic col ony in Tobobompo, Mexico. Some died of starvation, and the rest were rescu ed by the United States government. Thirty years ago a hand-picked colony of very superior Americans started the colonv of Waweeyah, in California It failed to raise food enough to keep the colonists alive. The women did noblv. The men argued interminably about the internal politics of the col ony, instead of cultivating the soil. Ultimately the colony dissolved. The individuals who remained, with the land of severalty, did as well as other farmers. A good many years ago a carefully selected and very high-class band of Australians got a grant of land in South America and started a Social istic colony. They would not even floor their own huts unless the work were to be credited on the amount of work they owed the colony. They did not produce food enough to live on, ami had no dissolve. The members who remained and became individual owners were fairlv prosperous. Earlier there was Harmony, in this State, and a similar colony in Iowa, and the Oneida Comnunity, in New York, which "nationalized" the wo men. Industrially, it was highly suc cessful while Noyes, the founder and dictator, retained his vigor. The Socialist reply to this, and a far longer list of failures, has always been that Socialism could not suceed on a small scale: it must be in a big scale Well all these experiments were estab lished bv Socialists who expected to succeed. And certainly one cannot ex Dect an experiment to be tried on . larger scale than Russia. We have the testimony of Socialists and Commu nists to the awful failure there, and Lenine is trying to utilize individual enterprise by leasing the nationalized factories to their former owners. back Lack of confidence in banks is due to the lack of knowledge of the banking lows. Even when times are panickly it is not only good judgment but the part of wisdom to keep your money in the hanks. De positors are preferred creditors. If a bank fails the depositors are paid first. If there is not sufficient mo ney on hand to pay the depositors the capital stock is exhausted. If the capital stock is not sufficient tho resources of the bank are turned in to cash and the proceeds paid over to depositors. In addition to these resources which can be drawn on to pay depositors the directors are lia ble for double the amount of stock they own, and as a rule the direct ors own a majority of the stock. Un der present banking laws there is not one chance out of a thotsand for the depositors to lose in the event of a bank failure. Dillon Herald. THE FUTURE OF GERMANY "It is small wonder that the pa tience of France is worn down to the vanishing point. It is not at all improbable that we may soon be witnessing the enactment of a new tragedy, on German soil by French armies, the result of which may be the end of Germany as a great power. It will not be a pleasant thing to see, and it will not help in the economic rehabilitation of the world. But if it comes, we should remember that France considers that her national existence is at stake, and remember also that Germany ha3 brought it u pon herself; not only by plunging the world into war, but by the wanton destruction wrought during the war, not for military purposes but Program AT Bijou THEATRE THIS WEEK GIVE THEM SCHOOLS Hickory Record. In the Record's opinion the best missionary work that any of the churches in this section could under take would be the establishment of in dustrial schools in the mountains the South mountains, near here, would be a good opener. It might require longer than a gen oration to work a miracle in this sec tion, but it can be done, and the result would be felt in North Carolina. As necessary as foreign missions may be, to most people sending missionaries to Asia and Africa to make natives aban don a religion that has been handed down for centuries seems like at tempting the impossible. But in North Carolina the popula tion is susceptible. Liauor is made and sold in the South mountains, for ex ample, because the inhabitants believe that it is their right. They have not the proper view. Well, we can change their viewpoint if we have the will. The movement launched at Morganton sever:.! weeks ago deserves support. It is in the line of constructive work for North Caro lina, and it should appeal to all law abiding folk. TO-DAY TUESDAY "LOVE HONOR &OBEY' FEATURING all STAR CAST ON THE SAME PROGRAM COMEDY .

SPECIAL SPECIAL When a man loses his nerve he down ana out, and as nations are made up of men they, too, are down and out when they lose their nerve Loss of nerve is followed by the lack of conhder.ee, and the lack of conn dence is responsible for panics which are followed oy industrial depres sion and business stagnation. La.it fall when commodity prices took slump the nation lost its nerve. The people were looking for better times and when the reaction set it took-them so completely by sur prise they floundered abofct in a be wildered and dumfounded sort of manner. With the loss of nerve there followed last of confidence, and before the business world re alized it, we were on the verge of a panic. In another column is printed a clipping from "Views and Inter views" of the Yorkville Enquirer which tells the story in simple lan guage. The old darky had lost his nerve and his confidence in his sav ings which he kept at home in his bank wavered. He drew out and what he expected didn't happen, his confidence in his bank was restored. The old darkey's Me is typical of thousands of cases throughout the United States, Millions of dollars were drawn out of the bank then and ery dollar that came out and went into hiding added fuel to the flame. Thousands of dollars were drawn out of Dillon county banks, and now that confidence has .been restored they are finding their way THURSDAY FIRST NATIONAL PICTURE Marguerite Clark IN "Scrambled Wives" ON THE SAME PROGRAM GOOD COMEDY.

Current Opinion. THE STRIKE. (From The Statesville Daily.) Strikes are in a serse like war an unnecessarily wasteful and most un satisfactory method of setting differ ences. But up to this t-ood hour man kind hasn't grown wise enough to avoid either although all thinking people must admit that the cost of either is excessive and the results usu ally unsatisfactory. A strike of North Carolina cotton mill operatives, along with a strike of union textile operatives the country over, is an event promised for the near future. There will be a season, long or short, of idle operatives and idle mills: mill owners and employes suf fering loss; ill feeling and probably clashes, and then one side or the other probably both will lose and work will be resumed; but a resumption of work won't make good the loss sustained by either side. It is improbable, except in a few cases, that either side will win all for which it contends. The settlement will in the great majority of cases be the result of mutal conces sionconcessions which could be made in advance and all the loss and trouble avoided. Strikes are in a sense like war an unnecessarily wasteful and most unsatisfactory method of settl ing differences. But up to this good hour mankind hasn't grown wise enough to avoid e:ther, although all thinking people must admit that the cost in either case is excessive and the lesult usually unsatisfactory.

(uW 6 VINDICATING WILSON (From The Atlantic Constitution) Events are vindicting the Woodrow Wilson policy as regards the relations between the United States and the rest of the world, even sooner than was to have been expected. Not only that, but the policy of the senatorial irreconcilablcs to damn and denounce everything sponsored by Woodrow Wilson is now being rebuk ed even by a Republican Administra tion. It was inevitable that all of this should come to pass ,;ooner or later, but nobody believed that it would come about so soon after the national cam paign in which the senatorial irrecon cilablcs took their grievances before the people and proudly proclaimed, as a result of the election, that they had been sustained. President Wilson took the position that it was the duty of this country to be represented in the aft-sr-the-wav conferences, recognized the fact that this country's welfare is indissolubly interwoven with, and inescapably de pendent upon post-war international developments.

The World cruelly reprints Mr. Harding's pledge, made in his famous Des Moines speech before the elec tion, as to bringing home our trops from German soil. The candidate then said 'They (the American troops) haven't any business there, and just as soon as we declare formal peace we can be sure they will be coming home, as they ought to come," But Mr. Hard ing has seen a new light, and he now says the troops must remain. Wilson again. All the "new policies" of this Administration after running round in circles, come back to Wilson. A DISTINGUISHED REPUBLICAN Republican Senator Noi-is iz rani bunctiously in favor of secret diplo macy. The confirmation of five presi- dental nominations in open session of the aenate was an event which moved him to the exclamation: "My God, Mr. President, what is the country coming to?" He wants to know how are the Republicans "ever going to deliver the jobs" they promi. ! the faitliul dur ing the campaign, unless they can "shut the doors and explain it." He held up the Blair confirmation as an instance in treasonable transaction, and he stands In shocked contempla tion of a dev -loped situation that would require the Republicans to 'discuss rewards like this in open ses sion." It is I!r. Ncrr! ,' idea that the Republicans should draw the shades, station pickets round about and then settle down to a quite and uninter rupted game of "draw." Charlotte Observer. WHAT IS THE ANSWER? A bad boy had $2 in his pocket and saw a pup that he wanted to buy. The owner wanted $3 for the pup. The boy went to a pawnbroker's office and pawned the $2 for $1.50 cash and a pawn ticket. He sold the pawn ticket to his school teacher for $1.50 and with the $3 he bought the pup.
