The Press Maconian is independent in its policies and is glad to print both sides of any question. . Letters to the editor should be .written legibly on only one side of the paper and should be of reasonable length. The editor reserves the right to reject letters which are too long, are of small general interest or which would violate the sensibilities of our readers. ' BIBLE THOUGHT I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies: of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,, holy, acceptable unto God, which is -your reasonable service. Romans 12:1. ' Success isn't what counts in life; it's the motive which inspires the work. WKat Ails Our Jail? DESIDES the comments made by citizens "On The Record" on the first page, concerning our frequent jail breaks, opinions expressed by others off the record and who prefer anonymity furnish further food for thought. An encouraging note sounded by nearly all law abiding citizens and that is the only kind we have found to interview is that something should be done about it. "If we are going to have a jail, then let's have a good jail." When is a jail not a jail? How transient should a prisoner be? How soundly should a jailer sleep? Whose job is a jail? These and other questions ..readily suggest themselves in connection with Ma con County's Problem Number One. One anonymous commentator suggests that the jailer does not get but fifty cents a day for room and board for the county's transients, so why worry? Another calls' attention to a state prison ...camp rule that changes superintendents after two escapes. Some attach no blame to a prisoner who escapes when he can. Others do not blame the jailer when the jail is the kind that offers escape "with the greatest of ease." Four jail breaks in eight months with nine escapees one escaping twice is not a record of which . the citizens of the county can be proud. Sacrifices For All CINCE the beginning of the present war in Sep- tember, 1939, and even since President Roose velt'; annual message to Congress in January, 1940, there has been a marked change in the attitude of the American people and the policy of the Unjted States government toward that war. v These changes were due largely to events beyond the control of this nation, notably the invasion of small neutral countries and the collapse of France. inc message or tne rresment to tne newiy as sembled Congress Monday did not contain any notable departure from policies previously enun ciated by the administration and generally accepted by the American people. Monday's message to Congress did sound the signal for greater indirect participation of the United States in the war through supplying ma terials to Great Britain and her allies, through de fiance of dictators and through refusals to have any part in any peace of appeasement. But President Roosevelt was as careful Monday as on earlier occasions to steer clear of direct participation in the war, asserting again that this government has no purpose to send troops abroad. heads of members of Congress to a united nation. He made it clear that he is resolved to keep' the nation united bv seeinir to it. insofar as he can. that justice is done to all. f The President made it clear that the administra- UUIl Will UCV.UI11C SU yi CULLUICU Willi UC1V11SC that social and economic oroblems will be iimored. He named as continuing objectives of the admin istration the following: Equality of opportunity for youth and for others. Jobs for those who can work. Security for those who need it. The ending of special privilege for the few. The preservation of civil liberties for all. . The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living. The President also made it clear that sacrifice as well as cooperation would be expected from all, but that "no person should try or be allowed to get rich out of this program," and that taxes should be levied in accordance with the principle of ability to. pay. In that spirit of sacrifice for all, the nation will continue to support the program outlined Monday by the President. The Congress should see to it that the program is enacted into law in the spirit in which it was enunciated. Raleigh News and Observer.

HOEY (Asheville Citizen) This is the last full day which Clyde K. . Hoey will spend as Governor of North Carolina, To morrow he will lay down the laborious responsibilities which he has borne so cheerfully and so ef ficiently these past four years. Political friends and foes unite in the common judgment that he has made an extraordinarily popu lar Governor. The people of this state have for him an affection which they have shown for no leader since Zebulon B. Vance. His popularity over-spread the entire state and embraces all classes: and parties. ' , Much more important from the standpoint of the state is the fact that he has been an able and use ful Governor. North Carolina is a better state today because Clyde R. Hoey has directed its affairs for four eventful years. The pro gress which he has brought reaches into all phases of the state's serv ice to ; all of the people. Mr. Hoey refurns to the practice of his profession in Shelby. He has richly teamed all of the repose of private life which he may wish to claim for himself. But if he should ev er be wiling to accept further honors and responsibilities at the hands of the people of North Carolina, they will be his for the iasking. They will come as the freewill altering of the people of this state. Muse's Corner flowers among them while they yet live. To be a little more worthy of the friends we have and at the same time endeavoring to win a few more. To try a little harder to meet all issues of right and wrong with honesty and courage, and deepen the spiritual life by a closer com munion wth God.
