Dearborn Independent. The very interesting president of the University of Michigan as report ed in the press favors among other things, the decrease of children in the families of the poor. He says that in other families the deliberate limitation of offspring is already prac ticed. It is not a new proposal, but somehow it fails to lose,’ even with excessive repetition, its power to nau seate the reason. It is. always the npor! Yet nobody 1 defines the poor. Tlie poor are those who live in the back streets. But the boys raised in the front street, fifteen 1 years 'hence, and the girls are likely to be the wives and mothers of a race virile enough to save the country from the shrinkage in morals and energy that will come upon it through "limited families,” For selfishness is the great immorality. r*- Where are the poor? And wbat have the other classes, who can give their children "all the advantages,” to premise for tomorrow? The poor of yesterday are in the seats of power today, and the families of yesterday that “had all the advantages" are go ing to seed. It may be something in a boy's favor that he has to go to work at fifteen (if the Constitu tion of the United States continues to permit him that much liberty) and thus escapes the University, which more than any industrial system molds men down to robots. Forbidden all the "advantages” he may have a chance to make hia way in life. It may be possible one day to com pel the poor to cease having children, but it is greatly to be hoped that no latv will be proposed to compel the other classes to make up the deficien cy. For the impression one gain* from all this talk about limitation ia that those who deliberately effect it are thereby conferring great benefit on the country. Those who can be brought into that camp do well by society in leaving no descendants. .Meantime the school of hard knocks’ will continue to have the most dis tinguished sons and daughters. Up to Womenfolks. Isilae H. Dunlap, in Chatham Rec ord. On Route CO. from Bonlee to Win ston-Salem, Sunday, November 22 the writer saw three auto wrecks, six cars torn to pieces. I consider them not worth over 10 per cent of cost price. The night before there ;f EVERYTHING- I & ‘ To Give | 1 SANTA LAND f | Open < ! Day and Night fQ | FISHER'S 4 THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE were two wrecks near BonLee, on the! same road. This time three cars were made almost worthless. In these | wrecks right much skin and hair! were lost, but nobody was killed •outright- In one of the wrecks the driver, fully intoxicated and running very fast, drove to the wrong side of the road, ran into another car, and tore up the cars. I think the drunk imagined that he was having a big time, painting things red. The blood was running from him freely. When the officer took him in charge the young man Was surprised and felt it a shame to take a man’s privileges from him like that. rooking at the man. the blood still streaming, I though of that song, "Oh, Where Is My Boy To night." I thought of that mother, so teuder with him in infancy, so anxious and watchful over him through his boyhood days, happy When 'he grew to manhood, feeling should her companion be taken from her that she could lean on the strong arm of her noble son, and should she -be taken first she was al so happy feeling that her dear boy wou’.d be a comfort and cheer to her lover and his dad during his last sad hours. Oh, comrades, it was n sad : pic ture. I am fearful the- young man was seriously hurt. I thought, “Oh, Lord, my God, is there no help for that mother’s son?” He too, called for help in an earnest, singing rone, I want a lawyer. I want a lawyer, I want a lawyer.” In his car was a fruit jar half full of hell-fire.' About 20 people were standing around. I remarked: "There is the evidence; one of you men go tell the otttcer; some of the others watch it until the offleer comes.” I looked over the folks. I imagine they were 90 per cent church members, but I have my doubts whether the officer ever saw the fruit jar of hooch. I am appealing to the mothers of Chatham County. "I may be crazy but I an’t no fool.” The Ford, the hooch—you know the rest, and I know also follows. The women can stop this mad rush and make our county bone dry in six months. First get on t your knees and take God in as partner. Tell the men that you have cooked your last meal for the mitn who drinks; use more brains and less sympathy; back up our officers, fill our courts . to over flowing; demand of the courts jus tice. Politically you hold the balance of power. Say to those who would be leaders that they must be dry, that there are absolutely no wet plniits in your plaform. Be sure you nre right before you vote. Any girl who will sweetheart ‘jrith a drunk ard is a common 'thinker. Any church member who drinks liquor is throw ing a monkey wrench into the wheels of progress,and keying sinners from becoming Christians. "Think on these things.” I Women as Governors. Charity and Children. Ma Ferguson lias quit and gone to her home in Temple, Texas, to look after her flower garden. She has left her hired man Jim to look after the office anil run things to suit hipiself. A woman is not qualified to be governor of a great state. The experiment has been tried and has proven a failure. Another woman has announced her intention of running for governor of Texas when Ma’s term has expired, but she would be at better business working her garden and looking after the children. Texas has had enough. In almost any other state a woman would have a better chance than in Texas. We hope no North Carolina woman will get the bee in her bonne.t It is hardly like ly that she would get further than her own township if she did attempt to make the race. The only hope for women ambitious to fill the office intended for men only, is in the tur sort pf political freak may find sup bulefit and uncertain west where any port. Women have sense enough to fill any office. It is not lack of mind that, unfits her for the office of gover nor, but nick of temperament. She is out of place in such a position, just as ahe would be in command of an army. ’ Ma Ferguson, who seems to be a capable ‘woman, has proved that a woman is not fit to be at the head of a state, and in making this fact known she has done good service to her sex as well as to the states as a whole. The position of governor is no sinecure. It invites criticism of the sharpest kind and the .generality of womankind cannot brook abuse. It takes the strongest kind of a man to stand up under the trials and tribu lations of the office. If the Bisters will only be quiet and run for the places they are able to fill, we will all be happier and fare better. Pullman Travel Never So Heavy Be fore Over Southern Railway Lines Charlotte Observer. Pullman. car traffic on the South ern railway has never been so heavy before as it is now, during the pre- Christmas rush, according to R. H. Graham, divisiion passenger agent. Day coach travel also is heavy, he said yesterday, but not more so thAn in past yearn. Pullman travel, how ever, he said, is breaking all records (or the Southern lines. The travel over the main 'line is particularly heavy, according to Mr- Graham. Numbers of the ipain line through trains nre being operated in two sec tions. Mr. Graham said that the South ern, like other railroads, is experienc ing the greatest difficulty in getting into Jacksonville, Fla. Even its crack trains from the middle west to Flor ida are delayed several hours out side of Jacksonville waiting for a clear track into the station, he said, on account of the unprecedented longestiion, Clifford Long Found Dead in Auto* mobile at Gastonia.

DOLLS AND DOLLS I A Million Little Girl* in New York' Win Find Doll* in Their Stoek ' ln **- \ I New York, Dee. 23.—1 tis esti mated thgt no fewer than a million I little girls' in New York and vicinity! are going to find a new doll in their! Christmas_stocking this year. Never before in the memory of New York j 1 tradesmen has there been such a de mand fcr dolls as there has been dur l.ing the present holiday season. The ‘ metropolis appears suddenly to have j i developed a veritable passion for dolls !of every material, size ami, descrip tion. American-made dools, Japanese i dolls, and tile costly dolls from Ger- I many and France, dolls with bobbed | hhir quite up to date and dolls with' j flaxen curs as of yore, mechanical ! dolls that walk, speak, and shut their : eyes—every vnriety of doll imaginable, j has been in demand by the Christmas shopper this year. Throngs of men. women and children have descended upon the, department and gift stores and departed with a doll. One store reports having sold 10,000 dolls in n single day. Dolls are probably the oldest play things known to the human family. They have been known in all ages and to all peoples, civilized and un | civilized alike. The first dolls of I which there is any knowledge were J found among the treasures unearthed from the ruins of Babylon. They are small figures in terra eotta and | ivory, beautifully carved, and must have been fascinating playthings for the little Assyrian children. The little girls of Syria had me chanical dolls. The dolls the clnssic Greek Children played 'with were made of wax and clay, decorated with bright colors. As these children married when very young, they played with their dolls until just before their wed ding day. When they made a sac rifice of all their toys, dolls and clothes included. They dedicated them as a pious offering to some dei ty. If the little girl died before s’he was grown up, her dolls were buried with her. Thus it happens that the kind and fashion of dolls which com forted these ancient children is known. All the specimens which are kept with so much care behind glass doors in various museums were taken from some tiny tomb. NORTH CAROLINA TO BE NEXT BOOM STATE Growth Cnprecedcnted In Our His tory Is Predicted. Miami, Florida, Dec. 22.—Many Florida developers nre prophesying that" North Carolinn will be the next state to experience a nation-wide boom with an attendant era of pros perity and growth unprecedented in the history of the commonwealth accordng to Robert S. Clary, of Greensboro and Miami. Numerous large subdividers and real estate deyeloper now operating in Floridn have signified their inten tion of establishing offices in North Curolina at an early date, says Mr. Clary, in order to be prepared for the tremendous development certain to be attained by the Old North States Because of the state’s superb economic location, wonderful agricul tural and manufacturing potentiali ties, and unequalled year-round climnte, North Carolina’s mountains, beaches, and Piedmont hills will soon be in almost as great demand as the palms and sunshine of Flor ida. This prediction is made by a native North Carolinian who has made an intensive study o‘s the two states’s respective resources; for Mr. Clary is president of the Robin son-Clary Advertising Agency, with headquarters in Miami. AH that North Carolinn needs,” says he, “is advertising. Evgry city in the state should follow Miami’s lead and provide funds for this pur pose, by imposing a publicity tax of two mills per dollar on the assessable valuation of all property within the corporate limit*?. Every property pwner is glad to spend a fifth of a cent per dollar for advertising, as soon as he realizes that by so doing the value of his property will be doubled “Florida is booming because Flori dians konw that it pay to advertise. Single real estate companies are spending ns much as $2,000,000 per year for publicity: and practically every town and village in the state, as well as all of the large cities, are making appropriations with which to tell t he world about Florida.” Japanese English.
