FRINGE \ND UNCLE SAM
ihe mercurial and temncrmcntal
French are nv just now at Amer
icans aecair-e Uncle Sam wants
France to pay what she owes or to
make • >me ntisfact.iry arrangements
to do ■<>. ihe French, like all other
peop'e of :i j*r< pe, who participated in
ft* ST-"it v.ar :re taxed to death and
is> the ft co of the depreciating franc
r’H-y ..re in an ugly mood and are
natural’y looking Ur some source of
responsibility for th-.ir troubles.
'since the forbidden fruit was eaten
in the Garden of Eden people have
idamed others for their mishaps and
fortunes. It is natural—no nation,
however, sliould blame its neighbors
for insisting uj»on the collection of
an honest debt, especially when con
tracted under such circumstances as
tdft*e debt of France.
Tlie French when about to give
'tent to bitter feelings against Amer-
I ira hould remember that but for her I
timely aid in men and money the
whole of France would today be un- 1
der Gerrna dnominion end control
How soon people forget! The friend-1
ship however, between the two na- j
j lions is based upon too substantial
3 a foundation to be shaken by the |
3 vaporizings of a relations element in j
3 France Uncle Sam can never forget;
" the friendship of France who camel
_! so nobly to his rescue when forced to \
e r. sort to ; rms in defense of his rights
( .'.gainst a powerful foe.
I These acts of friendship are indel
- it ly implanted in the hearts and the
■ m.nds of the people of th« two great
nations and something more than or
i dinary causes would he required to
make these old friends fall out.

SUMMER ADVERTISING
- There are some business firms that
make it their practice to let up some
what on their advertising in summer.
Sometimes they may argue that many
e of their townspeople are away,
j But if that is the case ,t iis also us
ually true that a great many visitors
G
, are in the region at the time, and are
carefully looking over the newspapers
and making such purchases of th: :;gs
as they need. When people are away
m v: cations, they have considerable
lime in which they can put in shop
ping, and often buy more than they
’ do at home.
Frequently they like to carry some
articles home as a kind of souvenir
t of their trips. The firms that keep
their advertising up through the sum
’ mer draw in a lot of transient trade
of people who are visiting in the lo
cality or who pf.ss through it as tour
ists.
A great many firms have goods in
stock at this time that will be a
source of expense if carried over to
. another season. Styles may change,
money has to be borrowed to carry
goods that do not sell readily. A
great many enterprising firms find
that they gain the best results by
cleaning up their stock very largely
as they go, and getting fresh goods
on their shelves. They accomplish
his result by advertising freely dur
ng the summer.
It is tremendous help to a firm if
it can give the impression that it is
ushing for trade every day and week
i nthe year. The firm that advertises
constantly gives that impression. It!
makes the public feel that it is alert
1! the time to pick up goods at a
>:*.rgain, and pass its goods values on
;o the public.
Metropolitan department stores
know the game of merchandising, and
it is noticeable that they keep up a
great deal of advertising through the :
summer. If it pays for them, it will
pay for the stores in Fayetteville.
PISTOL LAW’S
F. Trubee Davison’s National Crime
Commission announces as its first step
in tackling the crime problem a con
ference to agree on some uniform leg
islation throughout the States to con
rol the miscellaneous buying and pis
dl-earryihg nuisance. A joint com
mittee of the commission and States’
Attorneys is meeting in Denver to
compare notes and draw up regula
tions to be presented in the vi rious
States.
There are laws against promiscu
■o - gun toting already, as well as
■ inst the promiscuous sale of any
h" of fire-arms. But : lmost any
ot* can walk into a store and buy
•cm just the same. Every one
t. vs that most of the gun crimes
re casual and the result of merely
laving the weapon handy at the mo
no rt of emotional sire-:, whether of
:kt or desperation or mc-r,. angei i
r v.hat not.
If deadly weapons could !>" kept!,
mt of hands unfit to he trussed with
i-rn. there would be an enormous ‘
-hrinkage in the number of murders '
• mnitt *d. But how to bring about ,
■-'iuu! c< ntro! of this item of hazard
s really a big question.
I f the commission and the prose- 1
"J* ing attorneys can work out any
thing workable along that line it will -
be welcomed.
STATE AND NATION QUESTIONS
\v hat is one of the best evidences
of the fact that the government of the
, United States is operated and con
trolled by the biff business interests
;>f the country?—lt is the unlimited
: amount of money these interests are
: billing to spend to elect men to pub
'ic office, who will do thofr bidding.
This was strikingly demonstrated by j
! the recent Pennsylvania primary slush
und and again on n somewhat small- j
r scale in Illinois, where investiga j
tors have so far, accounted for more
than SGOO,OOO spent in the McKinley-
Smith senatorial race.
The expenditure of thes e great
'.:ms of money to buy public office
involves all sorts of corruption, is
disgraceful in the highest degree to
the states in which it takes place and
shows the character of
THE ZEBULON RECORD FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1926
I material of which our law making
bodies in Washington is composed.
The man whose place in the senate
I has been bought goes in as a direct
j hireling of those who put up the mon
j oy to buy the office for him and may
, u depended upon to do their bidding
thus our under republican rule is
; a plutocracy ixire and simple and
1 ; ust as fir remote from a represen
| tativc government as the East is from
| the West. Now can we expect any
. thing hut discriminative legislation, or
that which favors the classes as
against the mi sses with hirelings to
make the laws ?
What chance have the poor farm
era for relief unless it suits “Rig Busi
ness’’ to give it to them. If it is
economically wrong to assist the far
mers in securing a market for their
surplus cri ps so as to encourage and
build up the agricultural interests
of the country, how d<>es it happen
1 j to be economically right for the g< \-
ernmont to assist the railroads as it
has been doing thus. Authorizing and
I permitting them to hold up the peo
ple in exhorbitant freight rates in or
der to pay b'g dividends to stock hold
•is cn highiy watered stock.
This is accomplished through the
interstate Commerce Commission, a
government agency, but it has the
sanction of “Bib Business” and is
therefore alright.
Th : s favoritism is the direct result
of plutocratic government—-govern
ment of, for and by the rich.
These expenditures in Pennsylva
nia and Illinois make the late New
berry slush fund which at the time
created a national sensation, look, in
the parlance of the strut like 30
cents.
