Iron-Clad Rules Won't Always Work
The inmate of the State Hospital, at Raleigh, who
fell and died from sunstroke Saturday evidently died
from the extreme htat and too much work combine*!.
According to rejxwts, the inmates were worked as long
and as hard that day as during pleasant weather. It
is a little hard to understand why people have so lit
tle discretion and stick to iron-clad rules. Saturday
was too hot a day to keep men weakened by insanity
at work. j
We are always talking about more humanity, and
yet we handle men by iron-clad rules. The man who
knows what sympathy is and how to extent it to others
is the man to place ir. charge of other men.
Stray Dogs
Dog owners do not seem to be acquainted with the
local ordinances which prohibits dogs running at large
in the town of Williamston from the Ist day of April
to the Ist day of September.
The streets of the town are frequently lined with
brindle mongrels, barking, snapping, biting, and
scratching children.
The danger is too great for any benefit that might
be derived The dog is not prohibited in the town.
Every person may keep his dog on his premises. It
is only the reamer that is outlawed. The law requires
every such dog to be taken up and the owner is
charged wit hthe cost and fined for breaking the law.
If the owner fails to claim his dog, then the dog pays
the penalty by being shot.
There is no dog owner in the town who wants his,*
d»>g to hurt any one. The only trouble is that the
people are too careless about keeping their dogs in.
Causes of Crime
The American Bar Association, which met In Seat
tie, Wash., this week, heard from its president six rea
sons which' he gives 4s the general causes of crime, as
follows:
1. The increase and development in the means of
communication; hard roads and high-powered automo
biles making the getaway' easy.
2. The vastly increased wealth of our citizens, and
especially .of the criminal classes, enabling them to
buy fast motors and expensive fire-arms.
3. Organized crime, which enables the underworld
to make liberal contributions to political campaigns

to exert a powerful influence In politic*.
4. Delay in the apprehension and speedy punish
ment of criminals, due in part to the leniency and
paltering of politic*? judges, and in part to our too
liberal laws We do not give enough attention to the
selection of our judges and prosecuting attorneys.
5. To the apathy and indifference of our best citi
zens towards their duty as citizens. Those best quali
fied to serve as jurors seek to avoid the service be
cause of its discomforts or because they dislike to
leave their businesses.
6. Unrestricted, traffic in firearms.
If these are really the cause of much of the crime
of the country, then what must the people do who
oppose crime?
First, we all expect to improve the methods of
communication,.both with better roads and better cars.
Second, we arc all trying to increase our wealth,
the good - and the bad alike.
In the third item comes some reasons which might
be set aside by a little more common honesty. Yet
we have so far fell short of the task.
The fourth trouble is not hard to correct if we will
try._
The fifth shows up the folks' cowardice and selfish
ness are responsible for much of the crime happen
ing every day. Men who call themselves decent citi
zens permit crime to house itself under their very
doorsteps without turning a hand to prevent It, simp
ly because their hide or their business may suffer.
Of course, we never will amount to much as law-abid-
ing people so long as we remain such weaklings and
cowards.
The sixth itrtji is abused some. Yet we are meas
uring up to that task perhaps better than any other.
If we all agree and practice the things permitted by
the hw, most of the crime would disappear. What we
need to do is to cultivate a higher respect for the law.
The man who puts a pistol in his pocket and walks
around among other men, returns at night and takes
it out without hurting or molesting any one generally
does not think he has committed a crime, and feels
that he would have to pull his pistol and shoot a few
people down l>efore he had committed a crime, The
social and high-toned drinker becomes a partner In
business with both jhf moonshiner and bootlegger
the moment he buys their product. The man who
drives too fast feels that he is not a criminal unless
he is caught. He is mistaken, because he is a crimi
nal or law-breaker, even though no man sees him.
"***- Hotel Is Needed
We have recently "listened in" on some people pass
ing through Williamston and heard them saying that
Williamston's greatest need is a modern hotel. They
say that the well-equipped hotels at Elizabeth City,
Kinston, Wilson, and towns of that type have created
a demand for well-equipped hotel quarters, that peo
ple of wealth demand good hotels regardless of price,
and with the proper service investors will be attract
ed who are able and generally willing to invest and
build up the community.
It is admitted that hotel stock in the smaller town
would be a slow dividend payer, and for that reason
it is hard to bring outside capital in 4or the purpose
of building a hotel. The people owning property are
the ones who should back a hotel. Then they would
increase their business and increase the value of their
property in that.
A community with enough pluck in it to build a
good hotel will succeed, because it of itself is a chal
lenge which will not only merit but bring success.
If Williamston's prosperity should be taxed to
build a hotel in the near ruture, it would bring big
dividends in many ways. At any rate, Wililamston
l>eople should give serious consideration to their need
for hotel service.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, immigration to
Canada amounted to 151,537, an increase of 5 per
cent over the previous year's total.
