n^T—FOR TODAY—I
When thou pnssest through the waters,
I will be with thee; and through the
rivers, they shall not overflow thee. when
thou walkest through the fire thou shall
uot be burned: neither shall the flame
kindle upon thee.—lsaiah 43
Dear Folks:
To sympathize with other folks will
often help a bis. 'twill often help tO'
ease a pain when somebody is hit. When
death lias reached its hand for toll and
left some weeping eyes, that's always
time for loyal friends to show they sym
pathize.
There’s sympathy for other things
that's always welcome too. and folks
will sympathize with friends because
they're feeling blue. Sometimes this
helps and cheers a bit, this knowing
others care, this finding friends to sym
pathize with you in your despair. But
then again, some folks there are who'll
never start to rise, until they stop their
looking ’round for friends to sympathize.
They get to feeling they're abused and
shed their tears with ease, they like to
have the world believe they’re forced
upon thhir knees.
They get to looking glum and sad,
they give up smiling too, they never
open up a bit to let the sun come
through. They like to have folks pity
them, they till the air with sighs, and
only go around with those they know
will sympathize.
It's sympathy that holds them down
aud keeps them feeling sick, it may
sound harsh for me to say they need a
rousing kick. Isut that would do them
worlds of good and open their eyes, and
then no more ther'd be a need of friends
to sympathize.
Cordiallyyours—T. V. R.
A LESSON FOR AUTOISTS.
The brutal murder of Major McLeary,
and King's confession proves it nothing
but a murder, throws an interesting light
on the way the minds of some people
work. Here was a man, kind and cour
teous by nature, ns shown by his deed,
offering a ride to two men he found walk
ing along the highway. And the men
in turn, brutally killing their benefactor.
There was nothing to arouse passion.
King says he and his companion rode
along with Major McLeary for a short
distance and then by agreement the offi
cer was led from the car, taken to a spot
near the road and killed. There was no
demand that Major McLeary give up his
car, bash and clothing, tje was given
no chance to surrender. Without offering
any alternative King and his companion
,led the officer to a secluded spot and
King fired two pistol bullets into his
head.
The Ashevile Citizen declares “such
crimes as this which marked the tragic
death of Major McLeary call imperative
ly for a stern revision of the rules of
courtesy, as these unwritten ordinances
have been observed in the past by auto
mobilists. It is no longer safe, especial
ly when riding alone, to give strangers
.a lift.”
Commenting on the McLeary case the
Charlotte Observer says “the part of
wisdom is this: Take no stranger into
your ear for a ride while traveling alone,
except it be a child, an aged woman or
a blind man.”
The advice is sound. There was a
time, and not so long distant, when it
was safe to pick up most anybody in tke
day, but that is dawenpiftyou'. King
and his companion field Vpibtol against
Major McLeary and he had to go as they
told him. It was broad open daylight•

OIL AS A CAMPAIGN TOPIC.
r Republican leaders in certain parts of
J the country have declared recently that
. the Democrats will not use the oil scan
dal as campaign thnnder. We wonder
why? Certainly the Democrats have
- nothing to fear in the matter and the
Republicans at the same time have much
to fear. ,
The Republicans tried hard enough,
. goodness knows, •to throw some of the oil
on the Democratic party but 1 they could
not. It is a plain case of Republican
• tactics. They alone made the leases and
they alone must bear the brunt of the
attack.
| We have an idea that oil will be dis
cussed at great length during the cam
paign, although as a matter of fact the
Democrats have enough to talk about by
leaving alone the Republican blunders,
mistakes and scandals and sticking to the
accomplishments of the two Wilson ad
ministrations.
In other words the Democrats arc in
fine position for the campaign. They
can attack from either side. They can
use tiie:. oil scandal as ammunition, and
at the same time they can use their own
accomplishments as ammunition. The
Republicans cannot say much about the
Harding and Coolidge administration.
Nothing has been done as a matter of
fact, except through pressure of the
Democrats and insurgents. The bonus
aud tax reduction bills were the most im
portant passed from a political standpoint
at least. And both were made possible
by the Democrats, aided by the insurg
ents.

EPIDEMIC OF CRIME IS
|J SWEEPING BURLINGTON
d Half a DoceM Homes Entered and Ran

a Week.
Burlington, July 19. —An epidemic of
!i crime that perhaps is the worst this
s city ever experienced, is the rampage,
- police say, beth of juvenile residents
e here and one or more house prowlers
i who are strangers and it is thought pro
f fessionals.
1 During this week half a dozen homes
have been entered and ransacked in day
? time. Missing articles include watches,
1 jewelry and pistols. Small amounts of
. money are reported missing. A "stranger
f moving about the city with a book for
- disguise' the police say, is responsible
, for several of the jobs. He is said
1 to approach the home, dfsfdvers when
r no one is in the house, and then enters
- prowling at leisure through trunks and
f drawers.
> Police are at work on the theory that
f the man, described by several house
wives, is a "dope fiend, driven to house

HUGHES IS STRONG
FOR DAWES’ PLAN
Secretory «Sf State Arrives in Loudon;
Dawes Also Hopes for Adoption.
Southampton. England, July 20.
■ Pressed for his views regarding the
Dawes’ plan, Charles Evpn Hughes,
American secretary of state, upon his
arrival yesterday aboard the Berenga
ria. said:
“American sentiment is very strongly
behind the Dawes report as it now stands
and we believe that prompt execution of
that report is of the greatest import
ance.” "
In an interview. Secretary Hughes em
phasized that his visit to England was
unofficial and personal. Regarding the
Dawes' report, however, he declared:
“We are very much interested in hav
ing it put into execution. • We hope
it will be found possible to have that
effect given to it at any early date. We
consider it affords a sound basis for the
economic recuperation of Europe.”
Asked whether he considered the
Dawes' plan could be modified and yet
have the full effect which he apparently
hopes from it, Secretary Hughes re
plied :
"That’s a discussion in which I’m
■afraid I can not enter.”

In a taxi they ran be jolly;
