When we think of some villian grabbing a child from its mother's arms or from any other place for that matter, and running away with y it, leaving the stricken with horrors that are undescriable, there is no punishment too severe for him. The man who will do such a deed for ransom is deserving of the most severe punishment even to death. The Donkey—Truly a Party Symbol . It is beginning to look, like the Democrats are go ing to act more like donkeys this year than ever be fore. With a wide-open chance for victory in sight, every element is pulling f«>r the nomination, and many of them without much thought of the principles upon which the party was built, and for which it has stood for the most part throughout all its history. Now comes along Mr. Raskob, with all his radical ideas and millions of money, and with the help of the Duponts, Jouett Shouse and Al Smith, trying to drown Miss Democracy in alcohol Of course, they have a Ritchie and a J. Ham Lewis to push forward at the opportune moment, or [jerhaps a hand-picked friend as yet unknown. The men who fit the democracy of both the present and the past —such a$ Newton D Baker -are being side-tracked. > This is the hour for Democrats to stand together for the sole purpose of attaining a system of jovorn ment that will guarantee fair and free government to all men and every legitimate business. News Letter To Be Continued It is good news to learn that The University News- Letter is to continue publication. The NewS-Letter is one of the most interesting news sheets in the State, and gives facts that are not available from any other source. The suspension of th* publication was threatened on account of the financial condition of the institution. Although the University is having to run on a very meager financial' program, the institution is going to endeavor to carry on its good work. Too Many Officeholders i Toledo (Ohio) Blade. Michigan has inaugurated a movement having for its object a reduction of the state "office-holding acre age" as a means of getting taxes below the back-break ing point. The governor and supporters of the move ment are on the right road, but are not blind to the barrier that will be built to block their way to suc cess. There is consciousness of too many public officials. But, paradoxically, the more there are, the more dif ficult it will be to eliminate any of them. It is ed out that officials have wives, brothers, sisters, un cles, aunts, cousins and hired men to protect their right to pay. This is a situation that will have to be* faced and overcome. The average officeholder is an avaricious, self-protecting individual with a keen ap petite for tax money. One County in Michigan has 20 inhabitants for each unit of government and a township with not enough adults to fill all the constitutional and statutory of fices. are extreme examples, but sufficient to reveal a ludicrous situation that calls for remedy. Michigan's problem is not peculiar to that state. If it can find a solution, the answer will be interesting -to others. " A Great Mistake „ Why wjll mothers slave., themselves to death only tb ruin their daughters? It would be much better for mothers to go in partnership yith their daugh ters in the home work, such as gardening, poultry raising, cooking, washing, and sewing than to permit the daughters to run at large at night and sleep half the day. It Is indeed a pity to bring up a generation unpre pared and unwilling to take cart of itself. No greater mistake can be made by mothers than to kill them selves at work in order that the daughters may have • «/wvl Af . i » . A" Break In The News War news from the stricken areas in China went into secondary headlines when kidnapers stole Chas. Augustus Lindbergh, jr., from his cradle in the home of his parents m Hopewell; New Jersey this week. Large and black headlines called one's attention to the hideous crime, and column after column of news carried all the details, even to the frail little fellow's diet. There is a ready sympathy for the stricken parents of the world famous baby, and justly so, of course. Out in the world, these United States are no ex ception, there are millions of little fellows, unim portant, no doubt, but among them are the leaders of the world in the making. Surely all these little tots are dear to their mothers. But thousands of tbem are being starved to death as a result of a faulty economic system. But their deaths are taken as a matter of course, and no great deal is said about it. Medical attention in the lives of thousands upon thousands of little children is impossible, and with them it is survival of the fittest. The systems designed to improve the lot of the millions of little folks are attacked and the existence of agencies important to their welfare is threatened. So, the kidnaping of the Lrindbergb child was not given too muA publicity, but the millions of little snotty nose feflows and their handicaps in life are re ceiving too little. Helpful To Eastern Cartilim The appointment of Mr. H. D. Bateman, president of the Brancfi Banking and Trust Company, as one of the advisors of the Reconstruction Act for the Rich mond Federal Reserve District is a- distinct compli ment to him and to Wilson and should prove of much value to our community and Eastern North Caro lina. Mr. Bateman was chairman of this district under the Finance Corporation Act, which was voted $500,- 000,000 for the purpose of assisting a recovery from the present depression. This corporation was merged into the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, a two billion dollar entity, which has for its purpose the opening of closed banks, and helping others in dis tress. • • . . ...... : Mr. Bateman. who is just back from New York, was interviewed this morning by the editor pf the Times, and he speaks with confidence of the situation and the effect the Reconstruction Corporation will have on general conditions. He says there is a better feeling among New York bankers who think that the funds from the Reconstruction Corporation will have a stimulating on business, and help to end the present financial depression.— Wilson Times. Go East, Young Man! "Go West, young man! ' said Horace Greeley. Now we believe the time has come to say to many North Carolinians in our mountain counties— "Go East, young man!" Rich, level, stoneless lands, easily cultivated, are of fered at "bargain counter" prices. Many mountain farmers could take some of these eastern lands and with the same labor, economy, and thrift they now use, could make twice as much produce and profit- Formerly thousands of mountain hill country farmers went to the Western States for cheap rich lands, but that day is over. The Land of Oppor tunity is now to the east, and health conditions in eastern counties are now so fine that the old dread at this point no longer holds good. There are, of course, many very fine farms in the mountains and plenty of farmers should stay there. We advise that. But in many mountain sections peo ple are too crowded, their farms too small, and usually steep, Tough, rocky land is being cultivated on which it is impossible to make a living—land that should go back to timber or pasture. It is to these folks that we believe the cry should go out^- "Go past, young man!" If interested, why not ask the land banks or in surance companies about bargains in eastern farms, or better still, mak| a trip east and let the county agent help you get located?— Progressive Farmer. Japan's Attitude s The Japanese seem to regard all the other people of the earth as fools.' They declare the American Secretary of State ignorant. Well, the' balance of the world thinks they are murderers and rubbers, and naturally they haye to re fute it In Some way. This is the only case on record when one nation has piled on another with all its lighting equipment and killed and still declares It is not war but a mission of pence. . . - Another noble the, Japanese made to China was for the Chinese soldiers to withdraw 12 miles from their own home,,their own property, their own mills and factories and let the Japanese have them, "and we will not shoot. But if you don't leave quick, we are to take your lives and your prop erty, too." Small Crop Will Pay Best Farmers are going to plant tobacco this year on a speculative bas'.s; that is, try to get a fine quality of tobacco, which always pays. However, product iup of this type of tobacco -ia very uncertain, especially in late years since so much land has been burned with nitratfwf soda and sulphate of ammonia. The farmer had better get back to fer tilizers that will insure quality rather than a lux uriant growth, which is generally destroyed by dis ease. '• - * - w The fanner that grows a poor quality of tobacco this year 'will not have a chance of success. A small crop well handled from the plant bed to the ware house will be best.

( jfcr i THE LETTER-BOX v VANDALISM STILL RIFE The the two cemeteries and ma/king of graves which has just been completed is one of the most sat isfactory things done here for some time. The welfare worker wishing to j aid unemployment arranged to secure | funds to pay a number of men. Visi tors to the cemeteries this week noted ' several acts of .vandalism, however, and it is thought best to ask that peo ple living near the cemeteries take no tice of any one who is guilty of such mean actions. One grave in the Bap tist cemetery had been robbed of fresh flowers which were torn into pieces and thrown down; the flag in the Thrower plat in the old cemtery had evidently been taken down and hung again with the field of stars down in stead of up. The cord which is al ways made fast with wire was loose and the wire gone. The desecration of a flag is an act against the. govern ment and punishable.
