What is Secretary Kellogg trying to shield in Haiti? Senator King, who has often Bitterly assailed the policy of the United States toward Haiti and has especially been bit ter on the so-called President of that land, wanted to land in Haiti to make a study of conditions there. He was advised that his presence was not wanted and right to land was denied him. Secretary of State Kellogg was absent from Washington when the incident first came up. He is back now and the pub lic is waiting to see what he will do. Will he give Senator King permission to land or will he back up President Bomo, who is nothing more than the mouthpiece of the American government? -The-Lynchburg News sfiys “were Sec retary Kellogg to indicate to our Navy Department that he desired Senator King to have the privilege of seeing conditions at first hand there would he none to for bid him landing at Port au Prince.” It adds: “This- is not to say that American in tervention in Haiti was wrong or that the time has come for the marines to be withdrawn. Haiti and the Haitians are possibly better off for the presence of an armed American force. Certainly sani tary conditions in that island have been improved by their presence. But to treat seriously the farcical pretense that the United States upon Bomo as a real president and must respect his wish es as regards Senator King is childish. “Bomo says exactly what a marine of ficer in Haiti tells him to say. The ma rine officer gets his instructions from the Navy Department. The Navy Depart ment issues instructions in such matters according to the wishes of the Secretary of State'. When Bomo speaks, therefore, his words are as much the words 6f Frank Kellogg as arc the words of the mythical White House spokesman the words of’ Calvin Coolidge. The real source of opposition to Senator King vis iting Haiti is not in Port au Prince but in Washington.” Why doesn’t the present administra tion want the public to know about Haiti? If conditions are what they should be, with American marines in control of ev erything, why shouldn’t Senator King be allowed to make his tour of inspection? Senator King is ratner uncertain about conditions there and he is the right man to give the public information. If he says conditions are good then the public will believe him. If conditions are not good then the public is entitled to know of it. „ Senator Borah wanted to go to Nicara gua and Mexico to see conditions as they exist and the administration blocked .such plans. Apparently the President and Secretary of State don’t want Senators to see what is going on in countries where marines with rifles have taken charge of things. . CORPORATION TAXES. Almost every day now one hears about manufacturing plants refusing to locate in North Carolina because of the State’s tax system. Enterprises moving South from the North do not want to' come here because taxes are higher than in some other States. Yet, based on figures for the year |1924, only in four States in the Union were combined taxes on corpora tions less than in North Carolina. Those States were Michigan, Kentucky, Flori da and New Jersey. The United States over, federal, state and local taxes in 1924 consumed 36 cents of every net income dollar, as against 27.7 cents in 1923. In North Carolina in 1924 our corpor ations on an average pa-id in taxes, feder al, state and local, 31.44 cents'of every net income dollar. In 43 States, combined taxes consum ed larger ratios of net incomes, in rates ranging from 32.5 V cents per dollar of net income in Alabama to 483.58 cents per dollar of net income in Wyoming. I<i Nevada and Oregon corporations, on the whole, had no net incomes in 1924, but these two states tyad to pay taxes — all told over 13 million dollars. In five > states at the bottom of the list the corporations did have total net in comes but the taxes they’ paid ranged from more than one to nearly five times their net incomes. These five unfortunate states were Mississippi, Montana, Okla homa, New Mexico and Wyoming. In South Carolina the per cent, of net income paid as tax was 95.23, in Georgia 42.96, in Alabama 33.57, in Virginia 39.89, in Louisiana 47.98 and in Texas 37.46. LAW WITH REASON. The Supreme Court of the State has just decided a point that will be of in terest. It has decided that pupils living less than one and a half miles from a school shall npt be carried to the school in a bus ooerated for the children nf the school district. , The interpretation of the law, as a general thing, is all right but the decis ion was rendered in a case from Gates county, that never should have been car ried to the courts. In that county the county board of education ruled that a crippled child liv ing fifty yards less than the required mile and a half shall not be carried on the bus. The court’s decision upheld the position of the school board. Law should be based on reason and justice and there is neither in this case. The strict letter of the law would forbid her being carried on the bus but the high er law, one of common sense and justice, should apply in cases. Giving his dissenting opinion, Justice Clarkson said: “Law is considered the perfection of reason and founded on justice and com mon sense. In this case there is no rea son, justice or common sense in the con duct of the defendants, the Board of Ed ucation, in regards to this crippled girl.” If this crippled girl has no other means of riding the board of education should have given her permission to use the bus. Such cases should be decided by common sense on the part of those who control such matters. “LAKE CONCORD.” Every person in this city should pay a visit to “Lake Concord,” the impounding dam recently constructed by the city to furnish an ample water supply the en tire year. . The lake is a beauty spot now and, of course, will be much prettier later when trees and shrubs along its bajiks are green and in hlooni. Built into a natural basin, the lake affords a scene of much beauty. Concord should not suffer for water for many years to come. More than 400,- 000,000 gallons will be available in the lake at all times now that it has been fill ed and this reserve should provide a nor mal supply for the city in sumer months as well as in winter months. The investment was a wise one. The city should derive much good from the lake and its contents. THE GOVERNOR LOOMS LARGER. Greensboro Record. ' It mußt be recognised and conceded by all that Governor, Angus W. McLean has won noteworthy credit by the confidence reposed in him by the General Assembly and by its renewed expressions of relianc upon his financial ability and bis sound judgment. In this connection it should also be said that he haN notably refrained from anything sav oring of an attempt to dominate the Legislature or to dictate to it in its action. On the other hand, his influence was spontaneous and was born of confidence in his demonstrated judgment. It is a rare compliment to an executive indeed that a Co-ordinate branch of the Government has so heeded his advice and so acted upon his wise suggestions as the record of an unusually harmonious session clearly demonstrates it has done. SALARY RAISES. Durham Herald. The mayor of Charlotte was handed a nice raise in salary by the last legislature. The same legis lature handed Durham recorder’s -court officials a handsome salary raise, also. But, the legislature refused to raise the salary of state officials. They were careful with the gate's money, hut in apend ; ing the money of cities and counties they were not , so particular. Evidently somebody with a strong ' political pull livea in Charlotte as well as in Dur- I bain. Not saying that such is the case, though I there is a possibility of it being true, the salary raiae in the Queen City will help out a lot in the 1 coming municipal election. In Durham, they hold ! the elections and get the salary increase with . which to pay the coat of the election immediately following going into office. Nice arrangement, isn't : Ut ", the Concord daily tribune - _„ n "*?/■"“ PISTOL-TOTING I NCONFINED. e Asheville Times. * Xt I* regrettable that the State Legislature did i not see fit to adopt the firearms measures advocated I by Governor McLean. The shooting affray the other in RobbinsWlfo brings* to attention very forcibly 8 the need for some sort of additional legislation S e °is'’ n!ne <he purchase and use of pistols. The State cannot be too strict in the granting of pistol permits. Fireams are fnr too generally _ owned and parried in North Carolina. Certain aec tions of the State appear to be perpetually oh a war footing. Is it any wonder we have so mam ; crimes of violence? In onr struggle with the lawless element in the community we realize that possession of weapons rr»* makes for crime and slaughter. 5 Without arms robbers and thieves would be halted in their bold careers, * If firearms were not available to children and r other irresponsible persons, there would also be fewer accidental shootings. In told numbers of tragedies have occurred through careless handlin ' l of pistols by the I-didn’t-know-it-Was-loade I fraternity. A number of things opernte against strict contrt 1 of the sale of firearms; first, a survival in a modi fied form of the ancient code of duelling: second. , a belief that possession of a pistol insures personal safety (which is very doubtful); and. third, the ■ opposition of manufacturers. All these influences | combine to make us the most lawless, murderous, dangerous people on earth. : ONE GOOD LAW. Durham Herald. Out of the more than J2OO new laws passedi by ; the legislature it was to have been expected that l “ f ew of them would merit approval. Out of tpg list, probably a dozen of state-wide importance were i worth while, but the bigger things it had to deal ; with were left just about as the legislature found them. One of the good things credited to it, and It also was one of the last minute thoughts of the assembly, was that one making it mandatory upon judges to bar from the privilege of driving all drivers of motor ears convicted of driving whije ; under the influence of intoxicant. Verv little publi . city has been given the law. Unless "it should be discovered that it was murdered in the last minute, or contains n joker, the people genrally will eon gratulate the assembly upon that piece of work if for nothing more. The law ns we understand it, provides that the judge shall take from any person guilty of driving while intoxicated, the right to drive a motor vehicle upon the highways for a petiod of not less than 99 days nor more than 12 months. We hope that our information about that law is true, aud hope further that the judges will begin to enforce it immediately and continue to strictly enforce it upon every defendant coming into court and convicted of driving while drunk. The highways are unsafe enough under the best condi tions, but when a drunk man begins to steer n car along the road, the danger is multiplied consider ably. MAY YET HOPE TO KISS A PEACH. i Raleigh Times. The expected aftermath now arrives in reports of the serious injury done the peach crop by the recent sudden freeze and blizzard. In this con nection it is intresting to note the statement that it is the late crop, rather than the early one, which is the sufferer. It is a phenomenon of peach culture, it is explained, that the late peach blooms early, and the early variety delays in blossoming. Late variety trees were bursting their buds when the Norther arrived. The orchardists are pessi mistic. Peaches, except the divorce court variety, always are subjects that get a large measure of pubiic sympathy, put. it is a fact that their growers, whose capital is hope, are our chief pessimists. It is a curious season that doesn’t see peaches on the market. The difference is, in short, one of supply, and of price. Last, year the peach crop was killed as usual, but last year, also, the orehnrdist was telling the wrorld he was ruined with a glut in the crop. Peaches were bought at nominal prices and carted from the fields by truckloads, with whispers that their destination was the still-tub rather than the table. The outlook now is bad. But Nature is a great little restorer. We imagine that it will again be possible for one with the price to kiss a peach this Rummer—even an Alberta ! \ . QUITE UNCHANGED. High Point Enterprise. I- Imprisoninent lias done nothing to reform Xnthan Leopold, if he is guilty of conspiracy in connection with the Joliet prison breaks as suspected. He is charged With having planned to poison the guards and to have fomented the discontent of the convicts to repented breaks for liberty. The poison plot has not been proved hut no great amount of evidence is needed to incline the public to believe the worst of Leopold, since the recollection of the testimony at his trial for mur der is fresh. y Investigation should be made and made thorough ly, because the guilt or innocence of the young man on this charge is of practically equal public importance to that of his relation to the Franks murder. Although he is sentenced to life imprison ment, few prisonrs are htld in this country for longer that twently years and ordinarily “lifers" are released before they have servd that long. Efforts to free Leopold will be made from time to time. If his is the mind back of a plot to poison the prison guards as alleged, it is quite clear that he is not less dangerous to the public than before his imprisonment. "Jvidenc of a chnnge of spirit and something resembling character growth is pertinent to the question of' parole ut all times. PERTINENT SAYINGS.

It is too bad. isn’t it, that Wilhelm isn’t happy and nfter he has done 'so much, too, to make the world ' happy. 1 Wilhelm started and engineered I something that placed thirty-two mil ; lion men on the dead, wounded or ■ missing list, that cost the world two ! hundred and twenty-three billion dol j lars, and that put Europe in a stale |of chaos that still persists. Men who seek their own selfish in let e=-!<e never are happy—and that ap plies to women too. The man whd goes after what he wants regardless of the good of others isn't going to he happy, even though he gets what he goes after, whieh Wilhelm didn't. Happiness is not a result of being something or getting something or do ing something or doing sobedo.v. Hap piness ean come only from a realiza tion that one is playing a beneficial part in the world, that one is making conditions better and pleasanter for others. , Happiness will never come to any- I one through bulldozing or running over lor mistreating people or causing peo ! pies loss and distress no matter on I what scale one does it. Happiness is a state of mind. Happiness is an outlook. Happiness is a result of the right relationship to life and people. -No man whose state of mind is that of doing meanness will ever come in ! sight of even the tail light of happl •! ness. He won't get close enough to | happiness to see the dust it makes i getting away from him. | Tes. indeed, it is too bad that Wil helm isn't happy. The news that he isn’t happy will worry the entire world. Those persons who hnve to wrestle with their income tag reports and dig down deep to pay their income taxes will weep when they hear that Wilhelm isn't happy, for those income taxes are a part of the bills that Hill made. Wilhelm never ean be hnppy in j this world. He couldn’t be happy even i though his entire nature underwent j complete change. He couldn't be happy even though he became so filled with the milk of human kindness that it oozed out of his eyebrows; for then he would realize what he has done; and that would make him the more unhappy, Henry A. Nitrtz, of' I telle Plaine, owns Minnesota's oldest llible. print ed at Herborn. Oraffehart Nnchaw, Germany, in 1004. CHICKEN ORDINANCE.
