Cast Out the Dollar Ideal America must cut the i»ut of her educational system. We are rushing to the wrong side of the ed ucational platform. The youth is being taught how to make money, nam prominence and live in luxury. That he might attain that end, little attention is di rected to truth, honesty, industry and character. Every impulse of youth seems to be large'v toward the good, easy time rather than iowar.l. the paths that lead to higher ideals and more hmoraMe lives. In all of our splendid educational program, the most serious defect is the failure of that of teaching along the line of honest living, which, in itself, will lead people toward real pros|*rity. Every man should be taught to prefer to work for a living rather than to steal for a living. Our valuation of honor has run too low and craving desire for wealth is too strong. It is rightfully the business and task of the schools to lead the peo ple out of this dilemma. The Unsatisfied Mind The unsatisfied mind is man's greatest hindrance. The increase in suicides should arouse our thinking for the reason Some type of insanity is doubtless the cause of many and possibly a majority of the cases of self-destruction. Wt, when we see so many choice citizens taking their own lives, we must conclude that crushed souls force them to commit the rash act. It is proof that man cannot serve both God and Mam mon. When a man undertakes to accomplish great things for spiritual uplift of humanity and the better ment of his own soul, and at the same time overstains himself in worldly affairs, and employs questionable methods of making money and gaining social, busi ness and political prestige, he is subject to part soul and body. When he loses in his worldly pursuits, the power to preserve hjs soul is destroyed. For all life is thrown out of harmony and he is rendered unable to appraise the real value of life. With soul and intellect out of balance, good men destroy their own bodies. We find more good men committing suicide than bad ones, which fact leads one to believe that insanity may not be the contributing cause for such rash ness. A Task for the Rising Generation The present adult generation will never pay all its debts. The older jx-ople have waded in too deep. It is up to the coming generation, high school boys and girls, to take care of the debts. And they'll not be able to pay these obligations if they follow in the footsteps made by us since the world war. They will have to save a little regularly. The youths will find that by placing aside a little here and a little there, they will finally be able to remove the mountain of debt we are eaving them as an inheritance. Of course, we of the progressive type, consider our selves smart; yet, when we consider the whole ques tion we are lively to discover that our fathers for got as much before we were ever born as some of us know now. To say the best that can lie said, we have certainly made a mess of our government and our financial affairs. NOTICE OF SALE North Carolina. Martin County—ln the Superior Court.

This did not occur, however, until several days after he and his lawless henchmen assisted in nominating Bill Thompson as ruler of Chicago for another term. The election of Thompson will assure Capone shoot ing privileges for another year. No city or town can have a greater misfortune than have officials that are governed by and who serve the criminal and lawless element of its population. Yet there are people who glory in that type of leadership. We need not expect law enforcement and respect able government as long as we elect officials from J the lawless element. A Great Institution Passes ■% ,In the passing of the New York World, one of the great newspapers of America went down. It was a great institution, and for a long time wielded a great influence in this country. The general trend of the paper has always been for good. It has influenced government and business for nearly half a century. Now that the paper has passed out of existence there is a resulting sorrow and sadness in the hearts of many who have read its pages so long. «. ■ •„ ■ i. ii - 6 The Big Movie Operators Who cares if the big moving picture folks do leave the State? If they succeed in monopolizing the busi ness as they are attempting to, it would be better for the State if they did leave. They now own the picture shows in nearly all the big towns in the State and are adopting a system of zoning under which they show all the pictures in their own houses seven weeks before they will let the privately owned, small-town theatres show them. By this discrimination, a show in the small town has been seen by show-goers before it gets to the small towns. The Legislature should force the picture makers to treat all theatres on the same terms. Examinations for Farmers The bill proposed by Senator McLean, of I'olk f county, requiring all farmers to pass examinations showing their efficiency just as barbers, plumbers, lawyers and doctors are forced to do, has a lot of virtue in it. The license tax of SSO, which the far mer would have to pay might be a little high, and i he should be jx'rmitted to pay by note, payable when he gets rich. Aside from the joke, however, there are many far j triers who need to know more about their business. Of the dozen farmers in Martin county receiving gov ernment aid for feed, seed and fertilizer last year, j about one-third of them apparently had no idea about how to farm. Fifteen percent of them have no idea of whether they have paid their loans in full or not, in dicating that many men who enter the farming field are at the sole mercy of others. They have to be told when to plow and how to plow, what kind of seed to plant and when to plant; they have to be told how to fertilize; in fact, they know very little about their job. War Costs Us Too Much War costs us too much. The United States spends 02 cents out of each dollar collected for wars of the | past and in preparation for wars to come. It is a gross shame for nations to war with each other when to do so means that regardless of whether you win or lose, every generation is ground to death by war debts. In the past we have bien rearing one child to go to war and 49 others to pay more than half of all their federal taxes to meet the war costs of the one. Our practice has been uncivil, unchristian sand grossly foolish. Yet, the ward dogs and profiteering hounds will not let ui have peace. Young Prisoners Contaminate the Old We are not so sure that old prisoners in the peni tentiary are teaching young criminals bad tricks. On the other hapd, it looks as if the young ones are con taminuiing the old ones. If any generation has suffered from an overdose of vulgarity, impudence and indifference, perhaps the present one will class with the worst. We should do all we can for our prisoners, but why should we re gard the old prisoner who, maybe in the heat of pas- I sion, took life, as being worse than the young fellow j who has outraged society in every way imaginable. erited land: i A house and lot in the Town of Wil-; i liamston, N.
