McAdoo and Bryan
The Rvlrigh Times asks the ques-
tion A "Can McAdoo Reform I'arty
by Doing luTo Death. - '
The Times is very .caustic in its
criticism of Mr. McAdoo: and if >
nothing else appeared in history a
bout McAdoo except the Times edi-j
torial future ages would never know!
that Mr. McAdoo struck one of the |
hardest blows for tjie people than|
did any man in his generation. He!
stood squarely for their protection!'
when Wall Street had told them they
.could get no money. Mr. McAdoo
drew $500,000,000 from their (of
fers \nd put it out on the agricul-.
tural possibilities and completely re- ;
versed their policy of squeezing the;
country into a season of prosperity I'
for themselves. The people should
>lao know that W. (». McAdoo

this country has had since Daniel '
Manning, of the Cleveland Cabinet, '
year ago.

newspaper man to dislike one man |
and .do anything in reason he can*
against him; Hut why should The
Times swipe at the throat of every

Mat possibly the biggest slip The
Times makes is when it asserts that
William Jennings Bryan approached -
! blasphemy at the New York Demo-'
U-ratic ,\atii>nal—Convention. The
j Times, of course, knows that Bryan]
Sis dead; but it has evidently over
looked the fact that the things he
gave his life for still live; and if.
democracy is to live and grow, it
TSTUsr do so upon the principles* of
justice and truth which Bryan .al-'
ways dared to advocate.
Democracy has no. right to win
nor lo.se on quest Tons of religion; j
since its foundation principles .are)
built on freedom of religious thought,!
free s|>eech, and free press. But it
has no right' to the respect of the ,
|K-ople unless it defends the princi
ples'of justice, truth-, and freedom.
li is rather strange that some |»eo-!
pie take the shouts of Tammany;
hoodlums as the voice of Democracy. l

pend on any other policy than that i

Our State geologists have safe
guarded our people in keeping them
posted on the oil question. The ge
ologists say there is no oil to be

several years chief,engineer for the
| North Carolina Highway Conimis-J
j'sion and.now director of the Ameri-j
can Road Builders' Association, has!
recently given' some analyst's of the
i causes and extent of losses'of both
j life ami property by motor cars.
He says that during the five years*
just ended, there have !>een 114,879,
people, killed in the I'nited States by
automobiles, while the staggering,
number of .i,44t>,.W0 have l>een in
— U.'
jured; and property worth three bil
lion dollars destroyed. Every fig
ure given in this report should cause,
the most, thoughtless to think and
the most careless to be careful.
According to Mr, Upham, only S
| per cent of all these accidents were
chargeable to faulty machinery; the
| other 95 per~cent of all the deaths,
i injuries, and property loss was on
account of carelessness.
A "large part of the carelessness is
by walking people, as well as by thej
drivers. This is especially true of.
children. More cßHdren from 6 to'
JO years of age are killed than of
any other ages. The cause given is
that children are |>ermitted to go
out alone at these ages; and on ac
count of being their own. masters they
frequently . forget dangej; . and rush
headlong without looking.
More j>eo|))e are killed l>etween ;
the hours of 5 and 6 o'clock in the'
evening than at any other hour. Two
reasons qrr given for this fact. First
is the congestion, of both vehicles
and pedestritfns, in the centers": of i
ing home fro niwork areaetaoitien
population: second, people hurrying
borne from work are tired and slow
to think and act.

idly increasing on account of the in
creased speed and number of cars
.driven. Yet the ratio of accidents
I per mile traveled is lowering each
year.
1 The reason for the fewer accidents
■ per mile traveled is said to be be
■ cause of the better education of both
, the man that rides and the man that
i walks. >,
However, (he educational qualifi
, cation is stfM very low, when we)
kill each year about 25,000 people.
, Sober drivers will help greatly, and
'drivers not too old nor too young,
and some restrictions against begin-1
ners taking their training on busy ,
highways will also help.
f School drills will also make impres- 1
i sions upon children that will cause
1 them to think before dashing in front'
;of a moving, car on the street, j
! Every person should be taught tOi
walk on the "left side of the high-|
i' way, especially on paved, roads. This
| puts them face to the approaching
i' cars, and one step puts them out of
the road.
i One other thing that will make
I [travel safer is to place more respon-!
visibility on the driver and not pyt all
the fault of the,accident on the dead
man. • .
