IftvU BUYING FROM PEDDLERS.
| * Why patronize the peddlers? Why buy
} from a perfect stranger who ap
jtpears at your door, and overlook the n\an
in business on the same street? Evdry
<3&y this community is alive with sales
f "'"’Tli'eh seHifig all sorts of articles; people
buy them without knowledge or without
guarantee whatever. How can a com
munity prosper wheri the very life is be
ing sniped out of the commercial life by
| peddlers?
We know that there are some things
that may be so bought with profit by
|; the residents of the city, but before buv
». ing the householder ought to weigh
isaell the proposition and refuse to buy
f that which is a part of the legitimate stock
of the local community.
One of the pests that seems to be los
| ing out is the magazine salesman, usual-
Iv a young woman, working her way
| through school. A few years ago one
r : would have thought that most of the
ft American college girls were making
I -r: their way through school by selling mag
; 3;l.t a2 * nes . often an unknown paper which
thinking readers would not have. It
would be interesting to know how many
Ir of these girls ever saw, or hoped to see
f .flulhe inside of a college.
This whole subject is one that calls
a little discriminating judgment by
IpH Like "local householder or business man.

fe-~Two North Carolina judges, speaking
| in different parts of the State and before
I different organizations, got close to a
I - .real problem Monday when they touch
|| ed on the legal profession and court de
felays, linking the two together as it were.
£ Before the Forsyth County Junior Bar
I /Association Judge Clayton G. Moore, of
|| J“An tikis kind is one of
fe finest tHirfgs for our profession, for
[/ there are, to theeverlasting disgust of us
p/all, some members of our profession who
|| do not try or care to live up to the high
Bajtandard set. We must have organiza-
HEI’V ‘H/’ >
the fine work yon are doing in maintain
ing that high standard.”
Speaking from the bench in Wilkes
|boro, Judge Johnson J. Hayes said: i
1 “Several men are on the docket for !
trial for violating the prohibition law. i
Part of them have sickness in the home,
and many more of them want to make a '
crop, but I don't know whether it is a
crop of liquor or grain. At any rate, none
of the defendants are ready to pay fines
Or go to jail. Excuse after excuse is of
fered for delay. Swfft punishment is
the best way to enforce the law. Only
a small per cent, of the violators are
caught by the officers. If these men, can
baffle and .delay their trials at will we had
as well do away with the court. Unless
a valid reason is shown in open court for
a delay, the cases are going to be tried.”
There is no better way to defeat crime
than to make justice move with speed
and certainty. This is a good thing for
the lawyer to remember. The good law- •
yer always fights for his client, to be
sure, but often their zeal carries them too
far and they defeat the ends of justice
with delays. ,' —•
Lawyers should be zealous about jus
tice as well as the well-being of their
client. When the courts and lawyers do
their best to see that court matters move
with certainty and speed law enforce
ment is much easier.
LET IT REST.
> Nobody should be worrying about the
law which requires autos' in North Car
olina to carry registration cards, the card
holders to be purchased at a cost of 50
cents each.
Nobody was been willing to accept re
sponsibility for the law and apparently
nobody is going to accept responsibility
for enforcement of the law. Commis
sioner Doughton who has charge of such
matters admits that he is not going to
try tp ( have the law enforced now, asr he
said sufficient time has not been given
the matter. He added that this is one
bridge that his department declines to
cross until it is reached and we think the
public would be wise to adopt, the same
policy.
Apparently the issue is a dead one. The
new licenses will be issued in June and
July but the registration card holders
will not be issued until next January at
the earliest and it is very probable that
something will be done to change the law
before that date.
Let the matter rest. That seems to be
the best thing to do. If the company with
the patent approved in the bill has the
gall to start anything it' will be time
enough for action.
THE P. & N. HEARING.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has set June 20th as the date for hearing
of the Piedmont and Northern's appli
cation for extension of its lines in North
and South Caroliha. The hearing will be
held in Charlotte.
We predict now that the interurban
officials will have no difficulty in securing
representative business men from the
Piedmont section to attend the hearing.
This matter is one of vital interest to this
section and ilivg, wieje-awake business
men who realize the importance of addi
tional rail facilities in any locality may be
counted on to press the importance of
. these extensions.
The Piedmont and Northern has obli
’ gations in this matter, also. It should
' serve those communities which need the
extension most. In our opinion that
question will decide the opinion of the
, commission. The interurban is basing
its claims on the necessity of the exten
. sion, and this necessity, it seems to us,
is determined by the nature of the busi
ness to be sought. ,
THE SiEU YORK TENDERLOIN.
New York Sun.
The Tenderloin, formerly the center of flie gay
night life of New York, was a district within the
boundaries of the old Twenty-ninth precinct (West
Thirtieth street police station), originally running
northerly from Fourteenth to Forty-second street
and westerly from Fourth avenue to the Hudson
River. The heart of the Tenderloin in later years
was between Twenty-eighth and Forty-second
streets Sixth avenue was its chief artery.
The Tenderloin got ia name in 1876, when the
, late-' Alex Williams, then a police captain, was
transferred from Oak street station to the West
Thirtieth street station. On leaving Oak street he
said: “I’m going where I can get a bit of tender
loin instead of being compelled to dine on chuck
steaks.”
Conditions in the Tenderloin became so deplor
able that they were investigated in 1864 by a
legislative committee headed by Senator Lexow.
During that investigation it was disclosed that the
police had received graft for. permitting disreputable
houses to remain open. Thereafter the Tenderloin’s
years were numbered, but gay life contiMttd to
hold sway there up to a period preceding the
world war.
For a time a section north of Forty-second street,
now known as the Roaring Forties, was called the
new TVnderloiu.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
GOOD 85 YEARS AHEAD.
Charlotte Observer.
The Federal Reserve System which the Democrats
gave the country seems now recognised by financial
and commercial authorities as the Nation’s safe
guard against recurrence of the “panic,” sueh
as has demoralised business m past years. Predic- 1
tien is even now advanced by so good an authority I
as The Business Conditions Weekly, of the Atok- i
auder Hamilton liytitute, that we are panic-proof,
t maintains thHt we have a symodthly-ruuning finan
cial mechanism, which, if properly • managed,
"should prevent old-fashioned i>amcs” —the panic
has become “old-fashioued," it is to be remarked
—“and enable efficieut business units to operate
6 years out of 10 .without seeiug ml iuk in their
annual statements." This is said in encourage
ment to that class of people who, in nearly every
decade, feel that the country has reached the
saturation point ami fear they Will find trouble in
maintaining their volume of business in face of
growiug competition. The Business Conditions
Weekly maintains that conditions are now “more
favorable than at any time in the history of our
country.”
It was writing speculatively into the future, as
far as 25 years ahead. It is entertaining to follow
thy discussion. In 1830, starts out The Weekly,
the population of the United States was only 23
million, less than tjie population of France or Great
Britain. In 1880 it was 30 million, an increase
'of over 100 per cent. This total was greater than '
the population of France or England.
The population in 1000 ( 76,000,000) was three
times that of 1830 and it was evident that it would
soon equal the combined total of France and Great
Britain: this point was actually reached about
15)12, when the population of the United States
amounted to 03 milliou.
The increase in population from 15K)0 to 15)26
was 41 million. This gain in 26 years was equal
to the entire population of France. During the
five years there has been a gain of nine million,
which is equal to the entire population of (’nuada.
In view of this steady growth within the United
Stales there is no occasion to become interested in
arquiriug foreign territory. Business opportuni
ties abound at home, thanks to the steady growth
of economic production and consumption
Bunk deposits now are seven times the figure of
1900. The money value of the wealth in the Uni
ted States is around 400 billion dollars as compared
with 186 billion in 1612. About one-third of the
present money value of the Nation's wealth is
due to price inflation as compared with 1912. But,
after deduct ing over 100 billion dollars from the
total value to make allowance for the inflation of
prices of 1912 is- still 30 per cent greater than in
that year.
During tlie next 23 years The Business Condi
tions. Weekly does not expect such an inflation in
the money value of wealth as we have witnessed
since 1900. There are definite indications of further
economic progress, however, in two directions:
First, the population should continue to increase
steadily, rising from 117 million to around 130
million during the next 23 years. Second, produc
tion and consumption per individual shonid be main
tained and increased: there will be further im
provements in the field of electric power, chemistry
and labor-saving machinery; there will be greater
efficiency in organizing production and consumption.
This will tend to increase the purchasing power per
individual.
THE STATE’S FAT POCKETBOOK.
Winston-Salem Journal.
The State Treasury at Raleigh is well fixed. A
joint statement issued by the State Treasurer and
State Auditor reveals n cash surplus of more than
three and a quarter millions for April 30. To be
exact the amount of cash on hand in excess of dis
bursements on that date was
generally though that this will mean a surplus at
the end of the first biennium of the McLean ad>
ministration considerably in excess of the Budget
Commission's estimate of $1,293,000. In fact, bas
ed on operations to date, the Budget Commission
has revised it estimate mid now anticipates a sur
plus of $1.042.000 at the end of the biennium on
June .'SO. or $350,000 more than the estimate re
ported to the General Assembly. Bused on old
estimates the 1927 appropriations bills were first
figured as about $850.00 in excess of the revenue
but tlie estimates for (he biennium 1927-1929 have
been considerably increased and it is estimatAl that
a surplus of $1,705,000 carried over to the bieity
nium would be sufficient to meet the appropriations.
License taxes are due June 1, with penalties apd
plying after August 15. and if June collections
should be only slightly in excess *f estimates the
balance carried over will"*reaeh the desired figure;
The surplus the first ten months of this year con
sists of $1,269,824.04 curried over from last year
and $2,073,318.56 accumulated this year while a
surplus of $3,084,106 was accumulated during the
first ten months of the last fiscal year. .
In addition to ordinary disbursements sl,2Kl»,inKj
for interest and retirement of bonds and $500.u00
for Confederate pensions must be paid out in
June. The former Item includes over $490,000 that
this year will be paid on June 30. but which link
formerly been paid on July 1 awl charged to the
new fiscal year. If this surplus means anything,
it means that Governor Mcl-enn is making good
most admirably on his pledge to the people to give
them a strictly business-like administration. It
also means that North Carolina is going to be in
better shape to carry on with her “program of
progress" when Governor McLean lays down the
reins than she wns when he picked them up. If
success is measured by results, then Governor Me*
Is>un is proving a howling success as State Eieeujj
five. He bids fair to leave the State in a great
deal better condition financially than he found it.
CHIVALRY IN NEW YORK. I
New York Herald'Tribune. --
Tlie young man who was seeing Nellie home'
from Aunt Dinah's quilting party must be regarded'
as luck both in that circumstance and in the fact
that lie was not the principal of tlie New City dis£
trict school, else the Board of Education might
have had him "on the carpet" and asked for lag
resignation. Yet the sequel shows that he would
have been vindicated. A type of gallantry that
.would not have offended Cotton Mather is enough*
it seems, when two youthful school teachers are the
participants, to scandalize the sniffing, pecksniffing
element of the seat of goverAtw'ht of Hockland
County. Where is the (tucking stool? The real"
Puritans had away of dealing with “tattlers also'
and busybodies speaking things which they ought
not.” The school hoard, however, has decided after
gravest delfbbraMon that so far as it is concerned
the gossipers are not to ruu the town.
The members of the board so little credited the
neighborhood gabble that they offered the principal
"the'finest recommendation in the world,” but they'
thought at first he ought to resign because "th#
tongue wagging has poinsoned the' minds oft U
npeople in the district.” Finding nothing wrong in
the conduct of the youth, they showed the white'
feather. Bottom and his companions settaed to
have eligible counterparts in the Nee? City version
of Pyramus and Thisbe. But the echeol officials’
yettiru to |ood sense disarms ridicule. The princi
pal is nut to resign, tongue-wagging or no tongue*;
wagging. They have not wtch long eats, after all,
as the tittle-tattlers of the vilhlge. ■;

History Repeats Itself.
NBy WICHUS VASSBOLDT
- --a • • ;
It was an astonishment to me to
| learn that 75,000 Jewa are encased in
agriculture in the United States to
day. as against 1,000 a Quarter of a
century ago.
We are so accustomed to thinking
of the Jew as a merchant that it is
; not easy to visualize him as work
ing with the soil and animals. Yet
that in ancient days whs the Hebrew’s
usual employment. In Biblical times
lie was an agriculturist aud stock
raiser.
The Jew has acquired the place he
now occupies iu the business world
through circumstances which forced
him into that character of activity.
Harassed and driven from countrj\to
country, he waa compelled by the law
of self preservation into the business
of buying and selling commodities.
In this move of the Jews toward
farm life there is smiling promise.
It may mean the solution of the farm
problem in the United States, for the
dew is a success in whatever he un
dertakes. He does not go into a
thing which has not iu it the elements
of success.
The fart that nlrendy p radically
two per cent, of the Jews of this
country are in agriculture and kin
dred Hues is significant. The .Tew
senses that there is something doing
iu raising crops nnd animals, that
the .time is at hand when the fnrmer
is going to be well rewarded for In
telligent and couscentious effort. The
Jew lias an uncanny gift for sensing
j profitable ventures.
| The 75.000 Jews now engaged in
agriculture in this country are suc
ceeding well. They are running their
farms with that shrewdness and ccou
: omy which the Jew applies to his
mercantile endeavors. The Gentile
may ftjll down on the farin, but the
i Jew will not. He will make money,
i He will employ and devise methods
, that will make the farm pay good divi
; (lends: and he will not work himself
to death either ;tbe Jew is not in
-Idined to overdo physically; he has
the faculty of making his money with
• out going to that length.
The Jew is turning from the city
I to the farm with his eyes wide open.
■ He sees where he can employ scien
: tific methods tunmake farm life both
‘ profitable aud pleasant.
• There is something wholesome, some
thing grippiug, something appealing
■ about this farmwaed movement of the
■ sons of Jacob. -
