If Raskob Succeeds
If Raskob .succeeds in committing the Democratic
party to the guardianship of the trust, tariff and power
barons, what will be left of the organization by wh ch
it can be recognized?
The boldest piece of thievery the Republican Party
ever perorated was when it sent Ra&kob into
the Democratic Party to bag it root and branch.
If the party succeeds, it must again stand for the
people add against the aggregations of vast wealth.
It can win easily if it stands for the people and for
the things that it has stood for in the past.
Eleven Prisoners Cremated
The burning to death of eleven human beings held
as prisoners in the Duplin County convict camp last
week, will of course be used as strong argument for
the erection of a tire-proof penitentiary, which we
should have On the other hand gross carelessniss is
in evidence, for with 53 prisoners in a camp there
should have been a night guard on hand.
I'he Stale Senate realized yesterday the threaten
ing dangers, and passed unanimously and without
argument the appropriation for a new central prison.
but while 1 hey are oui for new prisons, let the peo
ple all over the State attempt to keep it empty.
Uphulding the Laws
Judne Clayton Mo ire, holding court in Raleigh
last week, seems-to have had the right idea in hand
inn .down sentences. When a man of good sense de
liberately commits a crime and a jury convicts the
defendant. Judge Moore lays a good sentence on him.
There has been too much of this begging off al
ready. While there are a few cases in which suspend
ed sentefices are adequate, the chances are that most
men who commit crime have the same disposition aft
ei being caught as they did before. They frequently
become revolutionary in their attitude and actions
toward law and order as soon as they are caught.
The surest way (o mUke men respect the law is to
make them fear it.

Senator Simmons Retires
Senator Furnifold M. Simmons retired from office
March 4, after 30 years of strenuous service.
He was the political leader of the State of North
Carolina for a longer period than that. In 1898, he
1 was called as the party leader, and he did succeed in
| leading the Democrats to victory over the fusionists.
[ Senator Simmons' greatest work, however, was when
| he advanced the principles of the Democratic Party
in Connection with tariff problems. He is now re
' garded as the best authority on the principles of
| tariff in the party. He was chairman of the Finance
J Committee of the Senate, which raised the funds to
i run the World's War.
The only thing in his political career that was not
i fully approved by his constituents was his refusal to
j follow the dictations of fta&cob in the 1928 campaign
I which finally resulted in his defeat last year. The
question of whether he was right or wrong has not
yet been fully settled, as there were many good peo
ple on each side of the question.
It will be hard for his successor to pass through
I all the trying and crucial questions that Simmons has
' passed through and come out untainted and unac
j cused by either friends or enemies.
Thirty years is a long time for any man to with
stand without yielding to the temptations that lie in
the path of a United States Senaor. And when his
tory is written, its pages will say that Senator Furni
fold Simmons was a man faithful to his trust, a friend
to his constituents and all people, that he retired
from office a poor man and without the marks of
| grafts imprinted in his hands.
An Unfavorable Bill
The bill introduced in the legislature recently to
permit the sale of liquor on prescription in drug
stores is meeting with very little favor.
The passage of the bill would only provide an ave
nue for corruption and graft and would play into the
hands of snide druggists and quack doctors.
A large majority of the leading druggists and repu
table doctors would deplore such a law.
Study India's Principles
In treating India as an inferior nation, Great
Britian apparently has been laboring under a false
" idea.
A few months ago, a little man walked down to
the shore of the Indian (Jcean and dipped up some
sea water. He boiled it away aud secured some nice,
white granulated salt. He then salted and saved his
own food with the salt manufactured with his own
hands. He said to England, my [leopfc demand the
right to manufacture and use their own salt frum the
free waters of the ocean bordering their land. Eng
land was told that it had no right to forte the
to use trust-made Biitish salt and pay trust-made
prices for it, The British laws declared Gandhi
guilty of crime, one almost equal ta treason. Cast in- -
to prison, Gandhi humbly and quietly accepted his
punishment. England came to herself and repented.
Gandhi was released and he continued to [>reach love
and justice. Great Britian conferred with him
through her greatest statesmen and now India is to ,
lie treated as a child of Great Britian rather than as
a step child. " • j i
India might have fought for her indei>endence for
decades, until England lost her last battleship and
she herself lost her population had she followed the
code of war. But now all are decidedly better off be
| cause they followed the principle of the Prince of
I Peace. '- v
All nations and especially those referred to as
I Christian ones, should study tHoroughly and follow
* closely the same principles advanced by India.

CHILDREN FIRST
When a ship is about Jo go down
an adult would be struck down who
attempted to go into the life boats at
the expense of the children. Adults
save and improve the rate only as their
children arc lifted up. In this period
j with extreme* of want in one group
| and extremes of wealth in the other
group of our citizenship and each
| fighting for tax relief, schools are
I likely to go down in disaster becauA
| of lack of 1 champions who understand
| how to fight. Should the doors of
j revenue now expected to be opened
I for the maintenance of schools a sud
denly closed by either of these extreme
groups it will look easy to legislators
to cut off some of the budgets for
teachers salaries. Teachers have never
had full justice. Their salaries have
always been low compared with their ]
training, their heavy responsibilities
and the standard of living which the
character of their work calls for. To j
reduce their salaries now would handi- I
cap our chance at building up a stable
and well trained.-teaching profession.
I It would weaken our first and last line
j of defense against the excessive and
I burdensome tax of ignorance. If these
1 little children incurred to be paid and
I they keep their self rdSpect. Weaken
j your childrns' chances at meeting life
I problems and your farms and towns
will grow up iti weeds. Destroy your
j industry which of course "we should
preserve and a trained citizenship will i
j rebuild it. But there is little excuse f«'»r
! disaster to either when you place your 1
children first. I ,
