Therefore, here's re we pay our very best respects Senator Smoot, and every single i cf his views, if he has, like many mons, gone in for quantity in -i of quality. ilians to evade the law - and among officers to wink at..' its. violation. What is needed is an aroused public conscience. , ; The people alone can abate the evil. No law can be made to work except it expresses the senti ment of a majority of the people af fected.;' The fault lies with the peo ple, rather Jtban with the law. v The Raleigh News and Observer discusses the question as follows: ' . - - ... ,- . m . It is not only in Raleigh that .' fatal automobile accidents are 1 recorded in the State. From - nil sections the tidings come, ; and' the' responsibile factors are v all of us. . The law is explicit. : Section 16 wof the Act of March ' 1919, says a speed of more than ' 18 miles per hour in the reside- nence portion, of any city, town" . or village, or more than ten 'miles -. in the business portion, or more .!, than 25 miles an hour on any , public highway outside of the . corporate limits of any incorpor ated town or city shall be a via- . lation of the law. Yet it is harl- ' ly possible to drive any distance -on any road in the State without seeing frequent violations of the law, and ; it is few drivers who". " have not at some time exceeded the legal speed. -: f':i - With the improvement of the ' Toads the speed is going to grow t" worse and the danger to every-'. ; i body who travels the roads Is." certain to be more artreme. , The ' ' man who drives at excessive j speed is not dangerous to him- ; ' self alone. . He is a constant dan-"- ; j 1 ger to everybody else . fWe all f know how we have had to dodge -out of the way in a hurry to es cape some of these speed "mani acs, and. also how 'disagreeable ; 'it. -is' to travel , on "some of .'the . best roads of the State because '. of their utter mdifference to any ' fair rules of : action. .' The. law" may. not be "good , enough, but it is not bad. It is thatr the violator of any provi sion of the act shall be fined not piore than $50, nor Imprisoned more than thirty days, .and the duty of the officers of the town, county, or village is to. arrest offenders, and they are liable on their official bond for failure to carry out the law. But the peo ple do not do much to encourage the enforcement of the law. , - ON FLYING VISIT BERN is certainly prdgtqssing and growing, in a busines .way.-f. . '-j, Mr. Nixon-1 for the past three months has been visiting the cities in the leading southern states in the interests of the ten publications own ed by his - company and expects to spend another, month in the eastern states before he returns to St. Louis, where he makes headquarters. . pupils in the schools bring old books, papers and magazines to the schools to be turned overto firms dealing in waste" tmner. , "Ther proceeds of -' all "sales were to go" to the credit of the Teacher's Beenevolent Annuity Asso ciation. - ' The movement gradually gained impetus as its purpose became better known. , Increased interest was giv- en tne movement Decause - oi tne growing scarcity of , white paper arid the importance of aiding in the con servation ;, the existing supply. Over 100,000 pupils in'135 schools now participate in this work. The schools are not only doing an impori tant work in raising money for a worthy cause, but also are of ma terial ' assistance , in ", helping to con serve the constantly lessening sup plyjf white paper. .' ; For the year 1 19 the schools col lected '901; tons of paper, j. Since the start of the ' paper saving movement a grand total of $37,813.34 has been realized from its. sale. An auto truck has been purchased in order to facili tate collection" and delivery of paper, Collection of paper has become regular part of a. well planned sys tem of education for thrift fn the public schools of St,' Louis. What St. Louis is doing can be done by any other city. Think what it would mean to the paper situation of the; majority of our citieB would contribute their quotas of waste pa per and think how much money coald be earned tor some 'worthy cause.

Hamp Rich, whom we con s to have almost forgotten, has ording to his wont, rediscovered iself in a most unexpected quar- i v As usual, he sees that his home i i, barring, perhaps, Mrs. Rich : v o has sued him for support, bears of his doings. ; I It he has not returned to London io i his European headquarters in yiqtoria street, or gone farther into the interior of Scotland, he is still at Edihburg, where, we have his 'au ihority for it, he haa-'been feted and ined by divers of the civic organiza ions and tendered an audience bv fhe philosophy department of Edin- burg university. .It was the class in psychology that . Cap'n Rich addressed. His subject, if he has not changed it along". with flls 'residence, was either "Mob Con trolA Psychological Problem,' or JThe Dan'l Boone Trail." In all Brobabllity, he referred to the latter, nce that gives him am excuse to take ' up a collection. v ''i:;' Y ) It's a far cry from North Carolina and scenes of Hamp's . childhood, to tjae home of Robert Burns, Thomas Carlyle, Jannie Stuart,' Flora McDon ald and Haig & Haig; but Cap'n Rich .; made the journey' safely. He always ' lends; those who know him best have the' hardest time In explaining how.- An,. weeV'tis a sma' world after all. Wa .trust that the Scotes will enjoy him and that he will not out say his welcome. i Br.t we do trust that before he i starts on his return voyage he will drop In at Doom and give Kaiser Bill t$e benefit of his lecture - on' "Mob Control." A case of the mental hives ' might lift up Bill's drooping spirits, and as for Hamp, we are confident ' t$at ( he will .some ' way muddle MAKING HAY WHILE ., . . : THE SUN SHINES'1 ' (" , ; ' " The' condition of the farmer does not appear" to be as bad as ft looks on the surface; Short crops and . back ward seasons is- offset by the steadily increasingpricesy ' of his products The general crop In this section is re ported to be about sixty five per cent of normal, but indications are that cotton is going to :seli for the .highr est price on record.1 The money , re turn to the' farmer will ' probably . be increased rather than diminished.' It is concede! on everfcr. hand that the food supply is going to be short. Farmers , and others . are therefore urged to plant all the foodstuffs they can. No matter how much $ raised there cannot possibly be enough. To raise foodstuffs at this time is a pa triotic duty as well as a good finan cial Investment. People must be fed somehow, and the world is looking to the American fanner to do his share. - 1 t Farmers in this immediate section are praying for rain. The land parched and dry. : Young tobacco is Tying dormant in the hills', unable to take root for lack of moisture in the soil. ; Young corn is shriveling up and dying from the same cause. ; In other sections too much rain has de layed planting' in the cotton fields Every indication, tends to a short crop. A short 'crop means, higher prices. , J . . ' , v It is solemnly suggested that cot ton Is likely to climb into the neigh borhood of a dollar a pound thib fall. Dollar cotton does not indicate bankruptcy 'or the southern farmen It does not take much" cotton at that price to ' repay a ; farmer for the trouble of raising it. .Several years ago they were begging us to buy a bale at ten cents that was worth only six cents or less on the open 'mar ket. . ; ' - - The position of the farmer in this country is pretty, well entrenched. His place in the scheme of things right now is to raise enough food for himself v and 'his neighbors and to help feed the inhabitants of the town or city which is his market. A food shortage will militate against the farmer as well as others, because the demand for food will be so, great that there will be little money with which to- pay for the products the farmer will desire to sell. - ROAD BUELDING AND . ROAD PROTECTION ' 1 .. : The North Carolina Good Roads Association, -which -will meet in an nua;l convention in Asheville June 16 has taken cognizance of the necessity for, adequate maintenance" and the rigid enforcement of regulations for the protection of the roads and the lives of the traveling. public, and will issue a call for immediate and dras tic action. It is only by the prqgressive people of the state getting together with' co-operative spirit and v a common purposa that. wean solve these prob lems that so vitally link our interests together,. We North Carolinians have been too prone to consider only the needs of our own" doorstep or our own. town, or county. The-time has now comer when we must think in terms of . the statef 'wev are to real ise, the great destiny which, can come only through united and unselfish effort. " ! ; . ,: . V . " . Few of us Tealize, perhaps, that there are twenty four counties North Carolina, : representing 8,788 square miles, or 5,630,720 acres In area, . with approximately . 375,000' population, whose economic interests are rapidly becoming identified eith er wholly or in part with? , those of neighboring states just because they are cut off from North Carolina by physical, barrier in the form of bad roads which they are unable to over come by themselves. Is not the loy alty and trade of such a vast area worth retaining for North Carolina? ' We are just beginning to realize what the motor truck means in our economic ;life. With the, growing In ability of the railroads to handle our traffic, the truck will play an Increas ingly important part In our agricul tural and industrial development. Important ? questions regarding -A the standardization of .the construction of roads and bridges to meet this growing need, and of proper restric tions in.- the use of, the truck to pre vent undue damage to our invest ments in the public roads calls for immediate solution, - v: one or Awo 7 cities as small as NEW BERN since X left Chicago in Febru ary; NEW BERNcerUiaiy. sticks up with a lot of the towns I have been in on this trip.
