THE WEEK
(By DAN TOMPKINS)
A mistrial was ordered, Monday,
by Judge Barnhill, irfthe case of the
16 Gastonia strikers, charged with
the murder of 0. F. Aderholt, the
Gastonia chief-of-police, when one of
the jurors suddenly became violently
insane. Considering the punishment
jurors have to undergo in important
cases, that are hard-fought, it is a
\
wonder that more of them don't go
the way that the Charlotte juror did.
The juror who went insane was the
third one to be drawn, and he had
to sit through dreary days of monot
onous questioning of hundreds of
men, as attorneys attempted to get
i
the other nine men. Another thing,
some provision should be made in the
law for such eventualities. There is
110 good reason why eleven men
shouldn't have continued and heard
the rest of the mess and passed upon
it.
One man, a non-striker, rail amuck,
down in Marion, and intimidated
the gun. There was some technicality
inalitia was there, bi^t not a soldier
attempted to arrest the wild man with
he gun. There was some technicality
involved, so we are told, whereby
the soldiers could not interfere with
out a .call for help from the civil
authorities. It seems that the soldiers
are in Marion solely for the protec
tion ot mill property. We had thought
that tliev were sent bv the Governor
? ?
of North Carolina to preserve- the
jH'ace. So long as more importance
is attached to property -than human t
beings, our " mechanical-age civiliza-[
wfirte^ ift fffrTrioil andj
confusion. We must learn to put first
things first.
Business interests^in this country'
have been merging so rapidly that
the ordinary man can't keep upwithj
what is taking place." Now Aristidej
Kriaihl, Pivmier oi' France, has gath-j
ered together the representatives oi j
28 European countries and proposed
a merger that staggers. them all. The
confederation of the nations of Eur- J
ope into the United States of Europe
would be a merger that is a merger,
and it is a strong probability within)
the next twelve months. The League
of Nations goes forward forging tho
world together for peace. The non
participation of 'the United States of
America in League affairs will do
this country incalculably more) harm
than it will the League.
Again there arc sanguauiry clashes!
between Chinese* and "Russia/is in
Manchuria, along a sizeable battle
lront. Both countries, signatory to
the Kellog anti-war pact, appear to
be waging an out-law and unofficial '
war. War is war, whether it has
sanction of international law or not. j
N'o HHU'r unfavorable publieitv for
(r&stou Cffuniv ?(\<! for North Cure
iiua could possibly have been pub-i
lished, at this time, than the stories
of beating of strike sympathizers in;
Gastonia, and the march upon the; i
home of Tom P. Jimison, defense)
attorney in Charlotte, by a mob, ang-l
cred at the trial of strikers for the
murder of Policeman Aderholt, term
inating in a mistrial. This paper
holds no grief either for Tom JimisonJ
now attorney, and once Methodist
' I
preacher and evangelist, nor for the
foreign agitators, down, in Gaston.'!
The surest way, however, to give'
the Reds a strong hold in this state
or this country, is to give some
justification for their accusation that
they are persecuted. The English way
of giving police protection to any and
all, letting them talk their hejffls off,
is the surest way of whipping out
the various isms. No Red is going
to make mqch headway, so long as
he enjoys the protection of the gov
ernment in saying whatever he wishes
to say.
A student down at the University
of North Carolina, a short time ago,
remarked, in a bridge game, that he
would kill the next person who dealt
him a' bad hand. ,He dealt a poor
band to himself and j^oceeded to
fire a p xtol into his own head, kill
ing himself instantly. The cheapest
thing in our civilization is human life.

FARM DESERTERS TO BE
COUNTED IN 1930 EONSUE
"How are you going to keep 'em
down on the farm?"
This is the question that the census
of 1930 may help to answer, if a
recommendation of the advisory com
mittee of experts of the Censusl
Bureau is followed. }
The suggestion is that In the Cen
sus of 1930, there should be made
the first comprehensive survey of
migration from American farniH to
the industrial and business life of
the cities.
1 The proposed examination would
be confined to the simple question
as to whether <*ach person enumer
ated in the 1 m>| nrlat ioji count the
country has left the farm within the
past year. .
| The information is expected by
statistical experts not only to give
an exact answer to the question of
migration, but to pave the way for
supplemental examination of the
causes.
The information, it is declared,
will provide opportunity for an an
swer to the question: "How are
you going to keep 'em down on the
farm?"
Census experts know that there
has been a strong drift from the
farm hr*thc last decade, as revealed
by the difference between rural and
city population, but estimates have
varied greatly.
