The National Oratorical Contest
The national oratorical contest between high-school
pupils has caused much think ing. Jhe subject is,
-The Development of. or Present Significance of, the
Constitution of the United States* which is the great
est document on fundamental democracy ever written,
except the teaching of Jesus.
The study of the constitution by thousands of high
schools will be profitable, especially so in the fact
that the principles upon which our government is
founded are embraced in the constitution, which are
too often misunderstood.
It is a safe guess to say that more than half the
American people havjp never read the constitution., If,
all people would submit to the constitution, we would
have a safer country to live in.
Judge Kerr's Mistake
Judge Kerr made the political mistake of his life
when he said that not 2 per cent of the opponents of
A 1 Smith have the courage and intellectual honesty to
say why they are against hint.
Judge Kerr will find this rash statement will act
as a bloody ghost along his political pathway for
years to come. In fact, a majority of the people in
his own, the second, congressional district say his state
ment is false. The judge-congressman himself >vill
realiie he has lied if he will balance off a part of his
enthusiasm for true facts. All that Mr. Carr will have
to do to find that his words are false is to listen for
a moment to the voice of his own constituents.
But what do the folks thliik of the honorable Mr.
Kerr? Do they think he has any peculiar • inside
knowledge of the greatness of Al Smith that the rank
and file of tolks do hot know about; do they fed
that because he is browsing around the green pastures
and flower fringed gardens in Washington that he has»
risen to the heights of the political to big
ger worlds than that in which they are left?

That it one of the dangers in politics. When the
folks put a politician on a floored pea and feed hha
good he is not satisfied, bat wants mote. First he
wants to tell then how to do and then he dares to
call them fools. It would he fuaqy to see the deco*
folks in his district elect another congressman, gne
that would not call them fools. So far as the mat
ter of politics, no to explain why he ia for
or against any candidates for any office. Certainly,
they feel no obligation to the honorable ex-judge, now
congressman, future-aspiring-higher-office Kerr for
how they vote.
Dangerous Drivers
Pennsylvania authorities say that 95 per cent of
the automobile drivers in that State are fit to drive,
while the other 5 per cent are dangerous and unfit
and should be driven from the roads.
In North Carolina there is doubtless more than 5
l>er cent unfit drivers, if you count the drunkards and
unbalanced ones who can't see a thing until long after
it happens. And then we have the dare-devil drivers
who will pass or burst, who seem to count killing the
other fellow of little consequence, just so he can pasa.
> North Carolina has the distinction of being a great
killing State, and for that reason we should have more
stringent enforcement of our present laws; especially
is this true of drunken drivers drivers.
Lying the Most Dangerous Crime
There is hope for justice when a lawyer refuses to
defend a client whom he knows to be guilty, and who
he knows has not a single point of truth to base his
case on. " \
There are many crimes that are not so great. Even
the manufacture and sale of liquor is not such a des
qi>erate crime when committed by what we usually call
the lower class of white men or negroes. They grade
the crime according to their enlightenment and ability
to comprehend the nobler and higher degrees of citi
zenship All such cases fall into the class of insig
nificant crimes when compared to the crime of deliber
ate, perjury, which some fellows resort to, even in
I minor cases. One of the dangers of the day is when
I a guilty man attempts to clear himself by lying. No
man would deny the most guilty man the wisest coun
sel to defend his rights, which all men have, but when
i a man tries to escape punishment for a crime by com
mitting a greater crime, it is a fine thing to see his
lawyer drop him.
Neither the individual nor the collective public are
safe when a man can convict the innocent or clear the
guilty by a lying tongue.
The Congressman's Weaker Streak
Congress has changed schedules. It has been talk
ing all the year about tax reduction, farm legisla
tion, and flood relief. That run has been made, and
1 we now find them talking about who to make Presi
dent, and incidentally—in fact, deliberately—getting
their own ducks in a row to swim back and draw
the regular $20,000 next term. It is just as easy to
find the weaker streak of human nature in and a
mong congressmf*flHas anybody.
Almost everybly is willing to see every man work
for himself, because it is so natural. On the other
hand, the |>aying voters corter resent high-salaried of
ficials sitting around or running around telling them
how to vote.
gainst the said are hereby ntt- (
tified to present the same to the under
signed on or before the 26th day in
March, 192 V, or this notice will be
pleaded in bar of their recovery.
All persons indebted to said estate
will please make immediate payment
