I FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, I iToday and I Tomorrow I By Frank Parker Stockbridge b I ppMOCRACY and us i hear people saying everywhere ' I that - democracy is on trial." The ' implication is, of course, that the | democratic system of giving every citizen an equal voice in public I affairs is still an unfinished experi- ! I ment, that isn't working out any I too well. Well, we have been running on I that system for considerably more I than 150 years, here in the United I states. We've had plenty of I trouble, but as I look back over my I own lifetime, and read what hapI pened before that began, it seems I to me that democracy as practiced in this country has worked better than any of the systems that have H been tried anywhere else in the | I don't think it is perfect, by any - - ?<.ithor i?. nnvthin? means, eiui ^ = I else that involves human nature I and liuman relations. But any system that in a comparatively shore period of time can raise the poorest nation in the world into the I richest, spread the benefits of civiiiI zation and comfort among a much I higher proportion of its people I than any other system, anywhere, has ever done, can't be altogether I * * * IMPATIENCE trouble I Most of the world's troubles I come irom trying to do things in I too much of a hurry. That is true I in the case of individuals; it is particularly true in the case of those groups of individuals which we call I nations. I I know that about all the real I trouble I have ever had in my life has come about because I was too impatient to wait for results but tried to force events to happen beI fore the time was ripe for them. I And I am certain that nine-tenths K of the world's troubles today root back to the same sort of Impatience. If it were not for impatience we would not see Russia today under the domination of a ruthless and despotic handful of Bolsheviks, Italy controlled by a dictator, Germany under the iron heel of a tyrant. Grant that the purposes of all of these and other dictators is the noble one of making their countries better places to live in?in the future. I prefer a system which gives the living present first consideration. I have seen too many predictions go wrong to believe that any kind of large-scale planning for the future of a whole people can ever work out according to plan. Even single individuals responsible to nobody but themselves, seldom find that their plans for themselves will work. * * ? REFORMERS . through years I have no quarrel with those who would remake the world. I can think of quite a few improvements that I could wish we had. But I cannot work myself up to enthusiasm for schemes to remodel civilization, or any minor part of the human scene, by any swifter processes than the slow ones of education and evolution. *"? " ' - - " ~ ine reiormer is aiways a xouom^. That is not a term of reproach. It means merely a person possessed of one idea, who is perfectly sure that he alone is right. Practically all of the progress the world has made has been instigated in the first instance by fanatics. Sometimes they have been right. Usually the thing they have urged upon the world comes about a few centuries or so after they have sowed the seed. Any proposal for reforming the social order is a dream until it has been talked about long enough to make a controlling majority of the people believe in its possibility. And even then there is no guarantee that they will like it, after they have tried it. ? FOLKWAYS . . . ingrained The habits, customs and outlook on life of any given race, group or nation are conveniently referred to as "folkways." They are the ideas handed down from generation to generation, the ways of doing things which have become so natural to the group that they are "in their blood." Anybody who wants to bring a about a radical change in social relations needs to watch his step when it comes to interfering with the folkways of a people. He may succeed, by violence and terroriza tion, in enforcing outward compliance with the new order, but down underneath thp fniirwnvs wm cun assert themselves. In the back country of Italy, I *as told by a wise Roman, the peasants go to church, like the rest of the people, but the folkways ingrained for thousands of years before Christ remain with them. They believe, among themselves, in what they call "la vecchia religione"? the "old religion" of their pagan ancestors. I notice that Mr. Hitler is having Plenty of trouble trying to regulate 1934 Warrenton, North Cj ~ ~ New Hauptmann Attorney TRENTON, N. J Edward J. Reilly " (above), noted criminal lawyer of Brooklyn, N. Y., has been called in to take charge of the Hauptmann defense in the Lindbergh kidnapping trial, scheduled for Jan. 2nd, 1935. Mrs. Hauptmann retained Reilly in a change of lawyers. the religion of the entire German nation. Mussolini was wiser than to try anything of that sort. CHURCHES . . . salvation Somehow, I can't escape the feeling that a good many ministers and a good many churches are going outside of their province in taking part in or encouraging efforts at wholesale reforms. I speak as a churchman and a profound believer in the message of the church. But when I hear ministers taking part in economic discussions and encouraging the idea of making the world over night, I wonder if they believe that salvation of any kind can be accomplished except one by one. When I am inclined to get impatient with the slowness of humanity's progress toward perfection I go home and re-read that great old book by John Bunyan, "Pilgrim's Progress." Farm Questions And Answers Question: Should a laying mash be fed to molting hens? Answer: Molting birds require just as much feed of all kinds as the laying birds and, in most cases, they need a little more of the protein elements. In addition to the laying mash the birds should have a plentiful supply of oyster shell ur ground limestone and grit before them at all times. Animal proteins, greens and succulent feeds together with the laying mash will bring the birds into lay much sooner than if the mash is left out of the ration. Question: What is the best ration for a dry cow during the winter? Answer: No better practical winter ration for the dry cow can be had than legume hay and corn silage togethter with three to five pounds of a grain ration containing around 16 per cent protein. For the last two weeks, before freshening the grain ration should be restricted to laxative grains such as wheat bran and oats. Full directions for feeding all dairy animals are con tained in extension uircuiar ino. 193, copies of which will be mailed free upon application to the Agricultural Editor, State College. Should lime be applied to sour land in the fall or spring? Answer: As lime is a slow acting agent fall applications will usually give best results. Broadcast the lime on newly plowed land and then run a harrow once or twice over the field to bring the lime in contact with the soil. The winter rains will cause the lime to seep into the soil. The amount to apply will depend upon the acidity of the soil and the crop to be grown the following year. See your Farm Agent for a test and follow his directions as to the amount of lime needed. Bill To Cut Liquor Tax Is Announced Washington, Nov. 14?A movement, long-heralded, to slash the taxes on liquor drastically was formally announced Saturday. Representative Emanuel Celler of New York, ranking Democrat on the house judiciary committee, said that on the first day of the new congress in January he would introduce bills to cut taxes and tariffs on liquor in half and to abolish the federal alcohol control administra tion. He said many of his colleagues had agreed to support the legislation at the January session. Legal Dealers Ruined "Strict regulations placed on legitimate distillers and brewers have almost driven them out of business Along with high taxes and tariffs they have made it possible for the bootlegger to flourish,'' Celler, autho] of the Celler liquor prescription act, said. "The new bottle regulations whereby the source of origin musl be imprinted on the bottles has * irollna ?j ] placed a premium on those bottles, and incidentally, their contents," he tl contended. "The bottles are being ol used over and over, bootleg Btuff p: being substituted for the real fc article." ir Bootlegging Thrives ci Celler said the only thing constructive the PACA had proposed n was a "reduction in taxes on liquor b? and beer." T "We who led the fight for repeal w wanted to drive out the illicit liquor M industry and end bootlegging, but ti the tax of $2 a gallon on liquor and a $5 a barrel on beer, not only has ts permitted both to flourish but has pi | failed to bring in the revenue efc- s j pected," Celler said. p] Celler said that "rum row off tSe Atlantic coast is about as big as in a the days of prohibition, but if the hi tariff was lowered from $5 a barrel m to $2.50, it would disappear." hi Patrol Arrests F 772 In October Raleigh, Nov. 15.?During October, the State Highway Patrol ar- w rested 772 persons for violation of tl traffic and motor vehicle laws and, C of this number, including 136 drunk- t en drivers, 754 were convicted and it sentenced. All sentences totalled 801. pi On the other hand, the patrolmen tl merely spoke sharply to 6,275 per- w sons whom they warned of minor in infractions and extended courtesies m to 1,029 others, according to the report issued by Captain Charles D. Farmer yesterday. rc Property recovered, fines, costs si and revenue collected by the patrol w during the month totalled $48,062. b< In the performance of these duties and many others, the report of st the Patrol's activities for October, P shows that the State highway police sc travelled a total of 139,301 miles in tl 19,688 hours, consuming 4,356 gal- fc Ions of gas and 1,019 pints of oil. Patrolmen investigated 143 accidents during the month. Fifteen n persons were killed and 99 were in- m jured in these accidents. Thirteen ir stolen cars were recovered. di Total collections as a result of the patrol's efforts were $46,062.63, T divided as follows: property recov- a: ered, $5,938.40; fines, $13,570.95; costs, $6,253.27; revenue collected, h; $20,299.91. w Auto Sales Indicate N. C. Recovering Raleigh, Nov. 14.?On the basis of new automobile sales, North Caro-' lina appears to be the second most ? "recovered" state in the union. Out ? of 19 states reporting to the statis- I ticians of the R. L. Polk Company, I of Detroit, North Carolina ranked j second in the sale of new automobiles this year and seventh in the sale of trucks. The Polk company's figures were sent to L. S. Harris, director of the State Motor Vehicle Bureau, who said that the State showed an Increase of 65.9 per cent in auto sales , over last year and 76.2 per cent In truck sales. No greater percentage increase is shown by the other 18 i states reporting. Sales of new cars this year, to date, total 40,383, against 24,683 for the same ten months last year. Truck sales increased during the same period from 5,505 to 9,690. Woman Relaxes Ditch Vigilance "NT ATT 1 A ^ T VP Mono -riiiictucipiiio,, w v . x-x.?itiiu. j.iwMw E. Scott, 66 years old, relaxed her vigilance Saturday and the enemy moved In. A trench she guarded day and / night for three weeks fell into the hands of the city engineers she has defied. Workmen were dumping two truckloads of earth into the ditch in front of her house when she appeared. "I tried to stop them," she said, "but six men held me and I couldn't do a thing except scream. Two men held my hands and two more stood on my feet, while one seized my throat, and the other grabbed the back of my neck. I was almost chocked."

Since the trouble started three lonths ago the house gradually has sen torn down about her head, hree weeks ago when sewer pipes ere dug up in front of the house, [rs. Scott leaped into the excavaon.

After the trench vanished she got cot, set it over the fill, wrapped er head in a towel to keep out the * oise of the workmen, and settled J srself for a renewed vigilance. ^ Reporter Finds * Out Its Cold N Greenville, S.
