Friday, July 15, 1932 Expect Too Much The Institute of Government at Chapel Hill has just issued its bulletin, "Popular Government, which has many very sound ideas —things that would improve our business methods in government. However, we have reached a point where the only kind of popular government is that kind which gives us all the profits and none of the losses of the system. If a burglar enters our homes, or a thief steals our chickens, we want the sheriff to come like a tornado, at the midnight or any other hour, and swoop down on him and carry him to jail. We want the thief or burglar to languish there until the court time comes along, then send him away for a life term —but we don't want it to cost us anything, certainly not much. We assume that we can get things done without much cost, even where there is great hazard and much hard ship. We don't like to pay taxes, yet we want wide roads, big schoolhouses, long school terms, and like for our children to graduate with honors. We do not like to support government, but we do want government to support and protect us, and guarantee us the right, as well as free opportunities, to squander our substance in riotous living and extravagance. We like to support bottling works and amusements of various kinds, but we don't like to pay taxes to support our government or to contribute to the church life. Our hands, minds, and hearts seem to be in clined to the pleasures of life. A Valuable Crop News and Observer No matter how many or how valuable may be the crops produced in North Carolina' this season, this State has already produced a crop of essays repre senting a sizeable if intangible contribution to the future wealth of the State. In the Cotton Cooperative Association's contest for the best-essays on the subject, "How to grow Cotton Profitably," 7,000 school children participated. This means that 7,000 future farmers and farm women are seriously concerned about the future of the South's great money crop. It probably means that brains will be a larger fac tor in cotton farming of tomorrow." ODD-BUT TRUE - r • ' .

It seems to us that Garner was in the right. The Hoover idea of helping the big folks and get ting them, in turn, to help the little ones, is exactly contrary to the experience of people in this country in the past. They know the big fish have eaten up the little one? in the past, and—knowing the greedy disposition of the special interests—realize that the little folks need not expect any favors from those who have already oppressed them. The Garner principle, which stands for equal to all people in all kinds of legitimate business, %s sound democracy and should prevail. Seven Greatest Mistakes Exchange .*■ All men make mistakes, for to make mistakes is human. Yet there are some outstanding mistakes which are general and which play an important part in the destinies of man. One who has given close studies to the frailties of individuals enumerates what he considers to be the seven greatest mistakes of man. They are at follows: . 1. The delusion that individual advancements is made by crushing others down. • .. 2. The tendency to worry about things that can not be changed or corrected. 3. Insiting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves can not accomplish it. 4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences in order that important things may be accomplished. 5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading. '6. Attempting to compel other persons to believe and live as we do. 7. The failure to establish the habit of saving money. '' Sounds like a pretty fair diagnosis of the ills that beset us, and every one might profit by "checking up" in the light of these seven suggestions. Political Mistakes Roanoke-Chou>att Times Both major political parties in this country seem to be experts in making mistakes. The matter of in jecting Prohibition into political campaigns and writ ing it into party platforms not only demonstrates un sound judgment, but reveals the mentality of these party leaders. Prohibition never has been a true political issue. It never can be. It is purely a moral problem. It not only has been, but will ajways be. Thinking people of any nation burdened with the liquor evil must meet and solve it with a moral solution. Politics will al ways be found meddling in anything and in every thing. One may expect it to meddle with the moral problems as well, The pretention of our national convention delegates undertaking to write out the social gospel for this country is ridiculous. Political parties have safd to the Church, "Keep out of politics!" The Church would say to American politics, "Keep your hands out of our moral poblem! " Social cleanliness and social morality are the sacred jobs of the Church, not par tisan politics. As long as political parties make political mistakes and corrupt the streams where human travel must wend their way, the church must correct these harm ful mistakes with purely moral methods. For the Church's mission is not political, but moral. Let politics keep out of our moral problems, and the Church will stand aloof, separate and apart from politics. THB ENTERPRIBB TYPHOID IS EASY TO COMBAT SAYS HEALTH OFFICER Number Cases Shows Big Increase in State This Year Dr. J. M. Parrott, State health offi cer, has just issued a statement say ing, "There have been two and one half times as many cases of typhoid fever in North Carolina during the first five months of 1932, as during the cor responding period of 1931. 'lt is com ing like a thief in the night,' unexpect edly and without warning. In fact, typhoid fever is increasing so rapidly and in such widely distributed sec tions that the State Department of Health is deeply concerned over the matter." "This concern becomes all the more great," continues Dr. Parrott, "be cause the funds of the State are very limited and the problem of tracing out and finding each case is more than or* dinarily a local one. I earnestly and firmly advise all people to be vaccinat ed and consult their doctors and local health services concerning the proper sanitation of their water, milk, and food supplies." This is the first step in finding the answer to the question, "How many people shall we allow to die from typhoid fever?" Dr. Parrott goes on to say, "I am definitely of the opinion that typhoid fever has not assumed anything that approximates the proportions of an epidemic, but I do feel that the situa tion is fraught with real danger, and that we must not fail to keep up our, high standard of sanitation throughout • the state. In 1930, the death rate from typhoid in five of our cities which have a milk ordinance and well regulated water supply, and in which there is a reasonable amount of vac-, cination against typhoid fever, was j 2.7, and that, too, in the face of the| fact that those cities are medical cen-j ters to which typhoid cases gravitate j and which receive the 'credit' for the' death. During the same year, 1930, the death rate from typhoid in five rur al counties which do not have standard 1 milk ordinances and well-regulated wa- I ter supplies, and in which vaccination; has not been as thorough as it ought, | the death rate was 12.7." Concluding, the State Health Offi cer states, "Typhoid fever is a disease which can easily be prevented by a simple procedure—immunization. I take this occasoin to urge our public officials to remember that while sick ness is always a serious matter, it is a real calamity during this depression, and that it is always much more im portant to have a low death rate than a low tax rate."
