Correspondence on all matters of Interest—news items, notes or suggestions for better methods of farm or industrial developments, Improvement of roads, schools, etc;! is earnestly solicited._ Foreign Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSO. ____' THE BALANCE Dr. J- Howard Beard, of the Uni versity of Illinois, says an epidemic of injury has succeeded epidemics of jnfedtlon. Suicide and whoopirg cougir death rates are now equal. So are Railroad-crossing fatalities and scarlet fever. Automobile fatalities equa# deaths from scarlet fever and diphtheria combined. Accidental deatbk in industry equal deaths-from yaea^es, whooping cough and diph ther^t combined. And in some of the %aore sanitary cities more people die ^from automobile-exhaust gas thai^g'from typhoid fever. Death has a way of evening things up. Oh, weight it isn't one thing it's another. WIRELESS EDUCATION Popular interest in radio is not lessening, and it probably will achieve unprecedented intensity next winter. Meanwhile sensitive people have begun to worry about the possi bility of what they call "further standardization" of the American mind through the medium of this new wonder of the world. They insist that while increasing emphasis is put on the value of radio as a means of popular educatiodn, the people of in curably conventional minds manage Somehow to monopolize the facilities of broadcasting stations. There are many people who would hesitate to have their minds remolded by the average broadcaster of speech es and 'instructive talks." And they need have no fears for the rest of the country. Radio towers, like th$ printing press, can never be con trolled by any particular group in the United States. We are an eagerly curious people, and the competitive instinct is too strong in us to permit anything approximating a monopoly of news, ideas and opinions. SEEING NEW YORK Like the women of Mr. Kipling's celebrated verse, all American com munities are alike in spirit imme diately beneath their more or less misleading surfaces. New York, metropolis of the world, home of the sophisticates and supposedly self complacent beyond words, behaved last week as any other American town would behave on a great holiday when strangers were about to be made happy and impressed. It is indeed a town. Its eminent citizens lie awake at nights thinking of ways in which they may show that their community is more gener ous, more alivve, more progressive , and mere certainly on its toes than any other in this wide world. All j this proves again that as a people we , aye young and full of hope and good hhmpr and genuine kindness. On- ' ly when an American city is unable t& be enthusiastic about itself shall have reason to feel that we have Shopped growing. j' Mrs. Palmer Jerman, president o^. the North Carolina Federation of Woman's Clubs and greatly beloved hy_ the whole state, was an enthu siastic supporter of McAdoo and sat T%U.th the North Carolina delegation. When asked what she thought of New York and the weicome extended to the visitors her most charming ; personality was warmly asserted. , "I have been to New York many times before but never knew it could be iike this," she said. "The ave tourist coming to New York Often ieaves it depressed because of its greatness and apparent cruel re gard for the individual. Our recep has been wonderful and over whelming in its warmth and gener osity. Send my good wishes to the democrats of North Carolina." THE EAGLE'S BROTHER The people who feel that the stuff pf shining romance is present in ipost of the great enterprises of to it will seem quite fitting that the greatest feat of. aviation in the gnpy's history was achieved by the littlest plane yet devised for the business of sky-fighting. Seen in her hangar, the "pursuit" plane in which Lieutenant Maughan npade his flight from coast to coast last week in less than twenty-two hpurs seems almost small enough to thtglt under your arm. The lines of her slim body and the angle at which She rests are those of a meditative grasshopper. She is all wings and PBgfne, & thing made for terrible speed and terrible adventure. She ] has no room for company, or even j for the usual mechanician who rides j with slower-going scouts or bom bers. She has only one tiny seat, ! and that is without cushions, be cause cushions take up space and can be weighed. Banked high in the tiny cockpit and facing and partly surrounding the operator, like the console of an organ, is the instrument board and the devices that register the func tionings of the motor, the drift of wind pressure, speed, altitude, di rection and the like. Mounted with in reach, at points approximately those at which windshield anchorages are placed on an automobile body, are two machine guns, which the pi lot is supposed to use while his plane takes care of herself. The g^eed cf Lieutenant Maughan's machine is ,estimated roughly at about 200 miles an hour. But this is by no means the limit of what the newest army planes can do. I It is said that one man stood on 'the landing field at San Francisco and looked at the sky when the great organ note of Maughan's arriving plane was first heard overhead and opening his arms in a gesture of pas sionate welcome. Such as he are the makers of history. They are 'obscure and anonymous. But some thing of their spirit helps to keep record-making planes in the air. Their business is to swarm cVer a 'plane when it lands and see that its i 't^mnpratures and pressures are what t they should be and hunt for any sign 'of weakness. They give all they have in order that a thing of silk and wood and metal may live and be glorious in the eyes of the world. HIE SECOND PRMMRf Major T. G.. Stem ami. Capt. B. S. Boystei Jr.. Endorse Honorable Ft ank D. Grist. To the Voters Of Granville Co: The State Board of Elections hasj ordered a second Primary to be held on July 5, 1924 for the purpose 01 nominating a Democratic Candidate for the office of Commissioner of La bor ana Printing. This second PrP mary was requested by Honorable Frank D. Grist of Caldwell County, who is a candidate for the office 01 Commissioner of Labor and Printing, j runner-up in the first Primary. In asmuch as some criticism has been made of Mr. Grist for requesting and putting the State to the expense of holding another Primary, we feel that such criticism is unfair and un just, and we do not believe that right-thinking people will let it have anything to do with influencing their vote. The election law provides for second Primaries, ju&t as it does for first Primaries. Why might we not just as well say that the State ought ] not to be put to the expense of hold- j mg any Primaries at all, but just con tinue the State officers for the term of their lives, or why might we not say with equal fairness, that no State office can have more than two candidates, who would be the first to file action. Either one of the above propositions is equally as fair under our present primary law as to deny a candidate the right to a second Pri mary. Honorable Frank D. Grist is a vet aran of the World War, having served with distinction as a member of the First American Division in France. During the war he was wounded and has had to spend eight months or more in government hos pitals. He was cited and decorated for bravery in action. He is not ask ing the voters of North Carolina tc nominate hinr because of his military service and war record, but upon his qualifications for the office, to which he aspires. Certainly none of us wil' be so unfair and so unjust as to ho!& j his military service and war record against him. All that he asks and all that we ask for him is that the voters of Granville County do no^ condemn him because he has de manded a second primary. Anyone of us or anyone of you may sometime be placed in the same position, in which Mr. Grist finds himself at this time, and we should very much re gret anyone condemning us for de manding that to which we would be rightly entitled under the law. If Mr. Grist has sinned, he has cer tainly sinned within the law of North Carolina, which is your law as well as his. We ask that the people of Granville County give Mr. Grist that support to which he is entitled by reason of his qualifications to fill the office, to which he aspires. T. G. STEM. B. S. ROYSTER, JR.
