AS THE PRESIDENT SEES IT. , In h:s Memorial Day address President Coolidge made an appeal for more vigil hht enforcement of law on the part of State and local governments, pointing out that “what we need is not more fed eral government, but better local gov ■wmnent.” “We are not a lawless people.” said the President, “but we are too frequently a careless one. The multiplicity of laws, the varied possibilities of appeals, the disposition to technicality in procedure, the delays and consequent expense of liti gation which inevitably inure to the ad vantage of wealth, and specialized abil ity—all these liave been recounted as re proaches to us. “It is strange that such laxities should persist in a jfjme like the present, which is marked by a determined upward nyove ment in behalf of social welfare. But they do exist. They demonstrate a need for better, prompted, less irksome and expensive administration of the laws: for uniformity of procedure: for more accu orate deliminatin of state and federal authority.” We should be mindful of the enforce ment of every law, the President rightly • contends, for as he says “the police force which is administered on the assumption that the violation of some laws may be ignored has starter! toward demoraliza tion.” The President was just as correct in the statement that a community which upholds the police force is such action “is making dangerous concessions.” In his address President Coolidge was not speaking of any particular law. He thinks all of the laws should be enforc ed or invalidated, contending that “the conclusion is inescapable that laxity of administration reacts upon public opin ion. causing cynicism and loss of confi dence in both law and its enforcement and therefore in its observance. “The failure of local government has a “de moralizing effect in every direction,” President Coolidge thinks. These facts cannot be denied. We are responsible for the enforcement of the law and officers will do their duty as they are made to do it by public opinion. There is no sanity in the oft-repeated ex pression that so and so should be excus-, ed for the violation of some law because such a law does not amount to anything. It is such a spirit that breeds contempt for law. and when this spirit prevails in a community there is always lawlessness. DON’T DEPEND TOO MI CH ON COT TON. The cotton" crop in Cabarrus County is an unknown Quantity now. This is natural to a certain extent, yet there is no denying the fact that the matter is more Puzzling than ever this year be cause of weather conditions. Much cot ton jtcreage in Cabarrus has been re planted. In many instances the farmer reasonably, certain now tlmt his crop wall not amount’to mdal) 1,, i i •; Th?. same''Situation- in many therefore again warns the farmers against , putting all their faith in their cotton ’ crop. “Should our farmers increase their . dairying and poultry raising in the same ratio for the next five years as they have r in the past, these will exceed the value ! of last year's cotton crop,” says The En-' | quirer in advising farmers to be inde pendent of cotton. 1 The suggestion is one of merit. Farm- j . ers in the past have passed up many fine! opportunities of making money in other' lines because they have always believed j they could live only by means of cotton. | . It id true, of course, that cotton has been ! ' the money crop of the South in the past. but that does not necessarily mean it l ■ must continue as such. There is money to be made in other crops and in other I’.nes of work and the sooner our farmers realize this, the better it will be for them. TODAY’S EVENTS. Monday, June 1, 1925. Lexington, Ky.. is to celehrate its sesqui-oentennial this week.' More than 7,500 enumerators will be gin the taking of a New Pork State census today. . ; Richmond, Va„ is to be the meeting place of the 40th annual convention of the National Editorial Association. > A Western conference on vocational training will be opened at Spokane to day and continued through the week. The mid-year council meeting of the General Federation of Women's Clubs will begin its sessions today at West Baden. Ind. Delegates representing the 115.000 members of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen and Englishmen will gather in Detroit today for the 30th convention of the organization. Plans to remedy conditions in the bituminous industry will he considered at the annual meeting of the American Wholesale Coal Association, opening to day at French Lick Springs. Ind. William Jennings Bryan, who made his start : as. a political orator in tlie country school houses near Jacksonville. 111., will return there this’week for the city's centennial celebration and exposi tion. Postmaster General New has designat ed”-this as “Beter Mailing Week.” for an active ' nation-wide campaign to re duce the. steadily molipfing business of the Dead Letter Office. CO.MPLETE CONTROL OF MONTREAT IS SOUGHT Presbyterians Would Withhold Fi nancial Support Until That is Ac complished- , •: c., Lexington, Ky.. May Its.—The 65th general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the I'. S. A., adjourned at 5:40 o'clock this afternoon, after hav ing. in its closing minutes, adopted a resolution against “war as a means of settling disputes between nations,” re considered its action and fhen adopting a substitute putting itself on record as favoring every forthy effort to secure the peace of the world. Returning to the Montreat question at today’s sessions, the assembly was addressed by Dr. H. J. Stiggius. of Birmingham. Ala., in behalf of the majority report which would require the Mountain Retreat association to come completely under the control of the church and withholding further fi nancial support until such action had been taken. l)r. Stiggins declared that the question was a matter of law, no sentiment or desire, and said that the position of the church now was that of an advisory character only. Would Use Dam as Yadkin Bridge. Stanly News-Herald. “I have been thinking about it since you commenced to boost for the Yadkin River bridge on the Albemarle-Lexington highway.’ said Mr. S. H. Hearne to the News-Herald yesterday, “and as I lay awake the other night thinking about the proposition the idea struck me that ttie old Whitney dam might be utilized for that purpose. I believe, therefore, that the. time is about ripe for the ap pointment of a committee to take the matter up with the Tallahassee Power Co. with the view to getting permission to use the big Whitney dam as a bridge, which would reduce the cost of bridging the Yadkiu to one-half,” he continued. That's a mighty fine suggestion, it seems to us. There are several reasons why it might be well to consider it se riously. The old Whitney dam is built of a fine grade of granite. It is 38 feet higli and when the water in the Badin lake is as high as it ever gets, the top of the big granited dam is submerged by only a few feet. All therefore, that would be necessary would be the building of very low piers and putting the finish ing touches on the bridge. By using the old Whitney dam. the bridge could pos sibly be built at one-half the cost which would be required to build a bridge else where. Then, too. the bridge would not have to stand more than two or three feet above the water, and would never be in danger of a washout, as the higher the water in the Badin lake, the more it is free from current at that particular point, and when the water js low so that there is any current at all, it is below the top of the dam. The idea which Mr. Hearne puts for ward nppears to us as one which might well engage the careful attention of our count yhighway board and the State * highway commission. Train On Time 541 Tithes Out of 385 Days Operated. A truly remarkable record was made by the Southern Railway system in han dling the “Automobile Special” from Cin cinnati to Atlanta on time 341 times out of 365 trips during tpe first year of its operation, which ended on February 26, 1925. This means thpt a freight train was run the 490 miles from Cincinnati to Atlanta every day for a year mid was late in reaching its final terminal only 24 times. : , The average number of ears in each train was 32. making tlie total number of cars handled on it for the year m° */Mftfein 1 one. brown shoe.

SYNOPSIS Malone, « London newspaper re porter, rejected by the girl he loves because he has no heroie deeds to hie oredit, appeals to his editor for a dangerous assignment, and is sent to interview the irascible Pro fessor Challenger, who has recent ly returned from a solitary expedi tion to South America with an amazing story, which no one be lieves, of the existence on a great plateau there of many forms of prehistoric life. Byway of. proof he exhibits to Afalons two sketches —one, of the cliffs beneath the plateau, khe other of a monstrous animal resembling the stegosau rus—which he had found among the possessions of a dead explorer, Maple White; some blurred photo graphs, and a piece of the wing of a huge flying serpent, or ptero dactyl, which he says he shot down. Malone j* convinced of the pro fessor's sincerity. At a scientific lecture tfyat night which he in vites the reporter to attend. Chal lenger creates an uproar by deny ing the speaker's assertion that mastodon life is extinct, and chal lenging the audience to send out an expedition to test the truth of his own the'ories. There are three volunteers; Professor Summerlee, a scientist; Malone , still in quest of adventure; and Lord John Box ton, well known sportsman and ex plorer. On a foggy morning tit the spring 'the expedition eets out. Challenger, who has withheld di rections until sailing time, comes to see them off. CHAPTER VI (Continued) “No, thank you," says he: “I should much prefer not -to go aboard. 1. have only a few words to say to you. and they can very well be said where we are. 1 beg you not to imagine that 1 am in any way Indebted to you for mak ing this Journey.

Hava l made myself clear? I leave the -strict observance of my conditions entirely to your honor. No. Mr. Malone, I will place no restrictions upon your corre spondence, since the ventilation of the facts is the object of your Journey: but' I demand that you shall give no particulars os to your exact destination, and that nothing be actually published until your re turn. Good-bye. sir. You have done something to mitigate my feelings for the loathsome profes sion to which you unhappily be long. Good-bye. Lord John.

CHAPTER VII “Tomorrow we Giiappear into the UnHjtown” l will not bore those whom this narrative may reach by an account of our .luxurious voyage upon the Booth liner, nor will I tell ot our week’s stay at Para (save that I should wish to acknowledge the great kindness, of the Pereira da Pibta Company In helping us to get together our equipment). 1 will also allude very briefly to our river Journey, up a wide, slow-moving, clay-tinted, stream, in a steamer which was smaller than that which carried us across the Atlan tic. Eventuqfrr, we found our selves through :the narrows of OW dos and reached., (be town of Ma naos.

Ur. McArdl* since it la through your hands that this report must pass before It reaches the world. The scientific attainments at Professor Summaries are too wen known (or me to (rouble to re capitulate them. He la better equipped for a rough expedition ot this sort than one would im agine at first sight His tali, gaunt stringy figure is insensible to fatigue, and Us dry, haif-sar- t castle, and often wholly unsympa thetic manner is uninfluenced by any change in his surroundings. Though in his sixty-sixth year. I have never heard him express anfy dissatisfaction at the occasional hardships which we have bad to encounter. I had regarded his presence as an encumbrance to the expedition, but., as a matter o t fact, I am now well convinced that bis power ot endurance is as great as my own. In temper he Is nat urally acid and sceptical. From the beginning be has never con cealed his belief that Professor Challenger is an absolute ' fraud, that we are all embarked upon an i absurd wild-goose chase and that we are. likely to reap nothing but disappointment and danger In South America, and correspond ing ridicule in England. Such are the views which, with much pas sionate distortion of his fea tures and wagging of his thl£ goat-llke beard, he poured in t# our ears all the way from South-. ampton to Manaos. Since landihfi from the moat he has obtained some consolation from the beauty and variety of the Insect and bird life around him. tor he is abso lutely whole-hearted In his devo tion to science. He spends his days flitting through the woods with his shot-gun and butterfly net. and his evenings in mounting the many specimens he has ac quired. Among his minor pecu liarities are that he is cureless as to bis. attire, unclean in his per son. exceedingly absent-minded in his habits, and addicted to smok ing a short briar pipe, which is seldom out of his mouth. He has been upon several scientific expe ditions In his youth (be was with Robertsoo in Papua), apd the life of the camp and the canoe is noth ing fresh to him. Lord John . Roxton has some points in common with Professor Summeriee. and others in which they are the very antithesis ,to each other. He is twenty years younger, but has something ot the His dry, half-eareastie ... manner is wholly uninfluenced by any change In his surroundings, same spare, scraggy physique. As to his .appearance, 1 have, as 1 recollect, described it in that por tion of my narrative which I have left behind me in London. He is exceedingly neat and prim in his ways, dresses always with great care in white drill suits and high brown mosquito-boots, and shaves at least once a day. Like most men of action, he la laconic in speech, and sinks readily into his own. thoughts, but he is always quick to answer a question or Join In a conversation, talking In a queer, Jerky, halt-humorous fash ion. His knowledge of the world, and very especially of South America, is surprising, and he haa a whole-hearted belief in tha pos sibilities of our Journey which Is not to be dashed -by the sneers of Profbssor Summeriee, He has a gentle voice and a quiet manner, but behind his twinkling blue eyes there lurks a capacity tor toxlous wrath and Implacable resolution, the more dangerous because they are held In leash.
