The Cook Passes
When such men as Dwight W. Morrow and Thomas
A. Edison pass away, n.n.cns mourn. Vet, after all,
when the cock pu* e s away after faithfully tr'idgi .if
daily for weeks, months, and years through hot and
cold, wind and rain, snow and sleet to cook the food
that has given life to the children and grandchildren
for many, many years, our hearts are brought nearer
to the line of human sympathy and gratitude than
when the great are called away.
Although we fulfil our contracts with those who
serve us, yet we should never forget our obligations
to the woman. Though she may be black, we trusted
her to prepare our food, and trusted her faithfulness
to preserve our health by having the food clean and
palatable. Too, we trusted her to see that the chil
dren are kept safe from the fire and other dangers
that so frequently appear in the paths of children.
And, too, when „we cdnsider, the servant looks to
the beyond with as much faith and hope and gives as
much reverence-to the daily devotions a 5 any member
of the family. We see that God is Lord of all, and
is no respecter of persons. Then why not mark hu
manity for its goodness as well as for its greatness?
Woodrow Wilson Vindicated
While America is honoring her heroes—and there
are many who justly deserve it —there are a few, now
dead, whose names should be posted in the hall of the
condemned. Among them should stand at the head
the name of Henry Cabot Lodge, who led the fight
that kept the United States from performing one of
the noblest deeds she ever had the opportunity of
undertaking.
Now, our country has done exactly what Lodge said
we should not do—that is, entered a conference to
bring peace, and not war.
Our government, in sending a representative to the
League of Nations, is doing evactly what Woodrow
Wilson fought, bled, and died to accomplish, and what
Harding and Coolidge tried—in a manner of s| leaking
—to accomplish, though under another name.
The action of the present Hoover administration
in sending a delegate to represent our country in the
important matter of the Japanese-Chinese trouble,
Is a complete vindication of Wilson and a rebuke of
the dishonored name of Lodge.
Political parties have hurt our country, and doubt
less Lodge's political hatred had much to do with
what he did.

Should Be Read and Heeded
The pastorial letter of the House of Bishops, issued
from their assembly on the thirtieth of September,
which is to be read to the congregations of all Epis
copal churches in America during October, is one of
the cleanest cut articles of Christiaif statesmanship
that has come to the public in many months.
The two outstanding features of the letter are ref
erences to economic conditions and the principles of
war.
The reference to the financial condtiions prevail
ing is a complete indictment of our "present system,
and cites the need for more of the principles of Chris
tianity in the world, to restrain us in our greed and
selfishness, principles that seem to have very little
influence in the relations of men and nations with each
other, where the dollar—rather than justice— is the
largest factor in almost every trade.
In the matter of war, it is intimated, if not fully
asserted, that the only improvement yet made by our
long line of social experiences and Christian culture
over the cave man, is that while he used nothing but
the club to destroy his enemy, we are enpending our
greatest energy in trying to destroy thousands with
our modern missiles of death and destruction.
It asserts that the people of the earth are hungry
for peace and ready to trust one another, while pro
fessional patriots in every land, and altogether too
many political leaders, adhere to prehistoric ways.
"Christ or chaos" are the alternatives offered. One
or the other is our only way. We will either escape
through Christ, or meet our doom through chaos.
If the people of the earth would heed the advice
given the mem!>ership of the Episcopal church in the
letter referred to, it would go a long toward bringing
the Kingdom of God to earth.
What we need is for all Christian people every
where to follow the principles of truth, justice, love,
mercy, and [>e;ice, taught us by the Master. Then
will we be happy.
Curbing Stock Gambling
In case the new Hoover plan does turn loose a few
billion dollars for public use, it should be specifically
decreed that not a cent should be used on either the
stock or cotton futures exchanges - which in a large
way have helped to bleed legitimate business of its
cash.
There are two methods used in reading the busi
ness barometer. There are a few people who think
business is good when a few stock gamblers are mak
ing millions. Unfortunately the mass of the people
had heard this statement until many really think it
is true.
The other and only true method of determining bus
iness conditions is whether or not the millions of peo
ple are getting plenty to eat and wear, and are able
to bury themselves when they die.
The Hoover plan is certainly one of the very best
ways to help the folks. It means to get some of the
idle cash out of the batiks and into the business field.
No plan, however, can get us out of the hole we are
in quickly. It will take a long, slow, steady pull to
get us back, even to reasonably good times.
Acted Wisely
The State Board of Equalization acted wisely in
holding down the supplements to schools. Extrava
gant competition is, to a great extent, one of the rea
sons why there are so many land tax sales in the State.
Nobody wants the teachers of the State to work for
less than a living wage. , Nor does anybody want to
see the schools close because people are too poor to
support them. There is no good reason why Greens
boro or Charlotte should demand higher grade teach
ers for their schools than Martin County has, and the
board members did right in holding them down, and
they deserve the praise of the people for their stand
in denying the larger and richer districts a larger fund
than they allow the poorer people.
