WELCOME JUDGE
AND SOLICITOR
Warren county welcomes!
this week Judge Frank!
Daniel of Goldsboro and!
Solicitor W. H. S. Burgwyn!
of Woodland. Judge. Daniel!
was at Warrenton five years!
ago presiding over two terms!
of court. Then, as now,!
Judge Daniel made friends!
by his quiet, firm and ju-|
dicial manner of running!
the court.
W. H. S. Burgwyn had!
many friends in Warren!
county before he was ap-j
pointed Solicitor to succeed!
R. Hunt Parker upon hisl
elevation to the bench. This!
is the first time that Solicitor
Burgwyn has prosecuted]
in this county. His methods!
of looking after the state's
interest and his court demeanor
this week have been
such as to make additional
friends in Warren.
NO DIVERSION
OF GASOLINE TAX
We are glad to notice
that Governor Ehringhaus
comes out in such positive
manner against the diversion
of highway funds to the
General Fund of the State
as proposed by the Government
Advisory Commission.
We feel that the proposal
" 1
of the commission is a aan-i
gerous one, and while offered
only as a temporary
measure, temporary measures
of government too often
have a habit of becoming
fixed policies. One diversion
of funds leads to another.
But, even if this were
not the case, we do not believe
that the highway commission,
with every penny it
can collect, is going to have
any too much money with
which to carry on its maintenance
work and to pay its
debt service.
TEACHERS AND
15-CENT TAX
It looks at the present
writing, as has been predicted,
that the school teachers
of North Carolina are going
to have to absorb the loss of j
revenue caused by the. removal
of of the 15-cent ad
valorem tax on land.
Recommendations have
been made that their salaries
be further reduced. This
was not at all unexpected,
and while it is regrettable
that such reductions will {
have to be made, we might!
as well face the fact that it
is necessary for North Carolina
to cut the cloth according
to the garment.
However, we would have
been much better pleased if
during the past campaign
when candidates were promising
right and left to re
W&rrenton, North Cart
move this tax, they had comi
out with the statement tha
such removal would necessi
tato a further reduction ij
teachers' salaries. The re
suits in all probability woul<
have been the same; but i
little brutal frankness woul<
have been quite refreshing
GOVERNMENT, A
GIANT WET NURSE
Press dispatches of Tues
day morning told of th<
passage by Congress of i
$75,000,000 crop produc
tion loan. This means thai
the Government will agair
be in the supply businesj
this year as it has been foi
the past two years.
No doubt this will appear
as good news to hundreds
of Warren county farmers,
who feel that they can not
carry on their business unless
such assistance is offered.
It does not seem so good
to hundreds of others.
At one time there was an
apparent distinction b e tween
the country town cit[
izen and the farmer. This
distinction has passed. The
townsman and countryman
are both facing bankruptcy
because of the low price of
farm commodities?espesial!
farm commodities ? especially
on account of the price
of cotton, our chief cash
crop.
It is quite true that there
is much to be said in favor
of production loans, and its
proponents no doubt can
make out quite a case. But
it does seem that a bad
measure, justified on the
grounds that it was a temporary
measure, is in a fair
way to become a settled
policy.
If the low price of cotton
is caused by a surplus,
then we fail to see how it
is possible for the price to
rise, so long as the government
continues to finance
the creation of an even
greater surplus. We believe
that it would be far kinder
and much cheaper to put
the cotton farmer on an outright
dole, instead of this
indirect dole now in effect.
For several years we have
seen measure after measure
advocated to help the American
farmer. The Government
has spent millions upon
millions in an effort to
relieve him from his plight.
Each effort of the government
seems to leave him in
a worse fix.
The function of government
is primarily one of protection.
If the American government
will only pass such
laws as will prevent the
farmer from being exploited,
then, in the light of past
experiences, the farmer will
be better off. If the governI
mont ix/nnlrl ct-n-n frvinor fn

help everybody else, the
farmer could take care of
himself.
The sooner needless commissions
and bureaus at
Washington are abolished,
waste, overlapping and inj
efficiency are checked, gross
favoritism relegated to the
discards, and the terrible
cost of government is reduced,
the better off will be

A NEW ONE
The rumor flies around that tech.
nocracy is soon to have a rival in
the new science of eunomics?a
name taken from the Greek and
meaning "well-ordered". The basic'
idea of eunomics is the intensive
organization of industries for regulation
from within rather than con4.
1 nrifUAl if
UUi XXU111 VVluuvuv.
Doubtless it has its taking points,
but we don't believe that eunomics
(will seriously threaten technocracy,
lit sounds too soft and sweet. Tech.
jnocracy sounds hard-bitten, heman.
nish, and all that sort of thing, and
is therefore much more in line with
the fashion, which now debars the
suavely optimistic pose and flavors
the harsh, hard-boiled attitude.
There is nothing in this new stuff
about such hard, muscular terms
as ergs, joules, kilowatts, footpounds
and man-hours. Eunomics?
pshaw! It sounds as feeble and fui
tile, by comparison with technocracy,
as the new humanism does
by comparison with Sinclair Lewis.
But you never can tell. Dinner
tables are now getting a bit weary
of technocracy and in the absence
| of a first-rate scandal or a new
; theory of the determination of the j
sex, eunomics may have its innings, i
On second thought, we rather hope |
, it will. It is too high-sounding not
to deserve a little bandying about.

A "BAD PRESS"
1 Friends of Governor Roosevet are
complaining, and Republican opponents
of his are pointing out with
glee, that he has been subject to
much newspaper criticism during
the past few weeks. They speak of
his having had, in the French
' sense, a "bad press." But in fact
what is meant by the phrase is I
ahout the best thing that could j
happen to the President-elect at |
the nresent time. Since he describes i
himself as now a listener and a
, learner, he ought to consider it a
good press that lays facts and pub_
[ lie impressions before him with
friendly candor. It is not wholesome
for a man who is soon to take
over what will probably prove to be
' | the hardest Job in all this world of
;! hard jobs to be told that everything
which he thinks or says or does is
I the perfection of political wisdom,
[and that all the big problems will
ijmelt before him when he finally
[has to take them up one by one.
Mr. Roosevelt might well feel that
while he is facing and will have
to face many difficulties and even
miseries, he is at least escaping one
i"woe." It is the one thus defined
in the scriptures with which Mr.
! Roosevelt is so well acquainted:

"Woe unto you when "all men shall
speak well of you, "for In the same
manner did their "fathers to the
false prophets."
It Is certainly not Mr. Roosevelt's
fault that the work cut out for him,
and even now piling up on him, is
arduous and full of perils. His
troubles grow partly out of the In.
terval when the nominal government
at Washington is made for the
time being almost Impotent, and
when unusual demands are made
upon the man about to become
President. With no official responsibility,
he Is yet asked to act as if
he had it. His party is already looking
to him to provide it with plans
and, if possible, with unity and
energy. Mr. Roosevelt might well
exclaim: "Who is sufficient for
these things?" If he casts about for
help in his tremendous task, he
will be much more apt to get it
from the frank_spoken critics than
from flattering prophets of only
smooth things. In that sense the
so-called "bad press" ought really
to be reckoned a good press?New
York Times.
THE CAPTIVE'S SONG
I heard a little bird singing,
In his gilded cage one day,
The beautiful notes came thrilling
So tuneful, merry and gay.
There was not a note of sadness
In all that wonderful song;
And it cheered a little maiden
Whose days were so hard and long.
He seemed to sing of the sunshine.
Of trees where the zephyrs play.
Of children dancing so vaily,
Mid fragrant flowers of May.
He must have longed for his freedom,
To feel his wings cleave the air
Yet his song was full of gladness
For the sick child lying there.
I
He poured out his lovely Spring
song
Over and over again
Making the little child happy,
And helping her bear her pain.
Hundreds of birds in the forest
Where the palm tree branches wave
But only this little captive
To help a weak child be brave.
Oh! There are so many lessons
Taught by the song of this bird,
He sang for one little maiden
As if the whole world had heard.
Thus if our lives seem so narrow
And far from scenes once held dear;
Along on the path of duty,
There's always some heart to cheer.
And e'en when our way seems
darkest
And our road so rough and long,
If we lift up a trusting heart,
He'll put on our lips a song.
HANNAH M. DAVIS, Warrenton.
How Doctors Treat
Golds and Coughs
To break up a cold overnight and
relieve the congestion that makes you
cough, thousands of physicians are
now recommending Calotaba, the
nausealess calomel compound tablets
that give you the effects of calomel and
aalta without the unpleasant effects
of either,
One or two Calotabs at bedtime with
A glass of sweet milk or water. Next
morning your cold has vanished, your
system is thoroughly purified and you
are feeling fine with a hearty appetite

no danger.
Calotabs are sold in 10c and 35c

Warrenton, North Carolina PR
If she ran over a child while driving
like that, she would swear that
she had the car in second gear and
cvas only making four miles an
tiour."
Speaking of four miles an hour
n a car reminds me of an amusing
ncident that happened here in this
egard a number of years ago. Mr.
J. B. Davis had an automobile, a
Kline, I think. At any rate It was
feared pretty low and when it went
lown the street with its exhaust
open at a medium rate of speed it
sounded like it was going at a much
more rapid rate. The Davis boys
used to drive it pretty rapid at that.
3ill Davis was pulled one day and
brought before the Mayor for trial.
He plead not guilty and Pett, a
poung negro from the Davis plantation,
was Bill's witness.
Questioned about the rate of
speed, Pett told His Honor that he
didn't know exactly how fast Mr.
Davis was driving, but as near as
tie could estimate, he thought it
was about six miles an hour.
I think that the late Edward
Kidder Graham, former president
if the University of North Carolina,
md Captain Allen, military instructor
there during the World
War, had as much personal mag.
letism as any two men with whom
[ ever came into contact. Senator
Bob Reynolds is another man with
i vivid personality, Senator Reynold's
personality is very different
from that of the first two men, in I
that it has much of the showman
it.
Meet Senator Reynolds, talk with
nim fvie minutes and if you don't
want to call him Bob then you are
different from the general rim of
North Carolina folks. During the
campaign he dropped into the office
shook hands with the entire
force, told them that he was going
to get elected to the Senate but that
he needed their help to clinch the
matter, shook hands again and I
went down the street. According
to his reputation, if he meets any
of us five years from now he will
remember our names, faces and
perhaps where he met us. He was
In town that day about half an
hour and proved the chief course
of conversation for several days.
His stand on the wet-dry issue may
have been responsible for his victory
last year; but there is not the
slightest doubt that personality
played a big part in it. ,

see Senator Long and Senator Reynolds
together, and the following
Incident, as related by the Washington
correspondent of the News

The two senators met In Washington
recently. "It seems that I
have seen you before," said Mr.
Long.
"Sure," said Mr. Reynolds. "I had
a skating rink at Baton Rouge,
when you were selling Swamp Root
and other patent medicines. You
were one of my best skaters."
