Erred By Not Joining League
America made a serious mistake when she refused
to join the League of Nations, a mistake that will
trouble us for many years. Japan made one when
she demanded a big army and naval program.
Now most nations hate us and few trust us. Japan's
status with the remainder of the world is even worse
because nobody trusts her. And now that she is try
ing to dominate the Chinese policies, Russia comes
into the picture and demands the right to be enrolled
in the list of accredited warriors, which will turn out
bad for Japan in the end. Russia has the resources
and the push to prepare, but she hasn't enough good
will for Japan to respect her. It looks as if the next
war on a big scale may take place some where about
the northwest corner of the Pacific Ocean to de
termine whether Japan is to seize China and cage
the Russian bear or whether Russia is to become one
of the first powers of the world with her vast domain
and extensive natural resources.
Football In Spite ot Bankruptcy
It is a sad state of affairs when two of the worst
broke towns in North Carolina, towns whose bonds
are not worth SO cents on the dollar and whose citi
zens are losing their homes, stage football games
through their schools. No man can figure how much
profit a game will be nor how great a loss it will be
to these two towrfft
First of all, it will require considerable time of a
paid coach, and then the sport will require much of
the time of those pupils who go in training for the
fray. The entire school will be agog over the train
and games until football will take the leading part in
schools. Many of the important things that go to
make a good school will be entirely neglected, and
the school work will be interrupted and subordinated
to the rabble thought of play. Untold thousands of
boys and girls in our high schools will miss the pur
pose of school and have to submit to lower grades and
eveu become repeaters at heavy expense to taxpayers.
Our universities and colleges as well as our high
schools have gone wild in wasteful expenditures of
time and money over games that harm 100 pupils
every time they help one. We no longer care for the
healthful exercises needed by the average pupil. We.
have reached the extreme and demand games that
have proven so rought that they put out eyes, break
fingers, legs, arms, ribs and frequently kill. America
today, has two men suffering maimed bodies caused
by these rough games every time one star can be
found. Few men are made better mentally, morally
or spiritually by excessive acts even in games of play.
The strange thing about it all is that taxpayers will
stand for having their money go from them in any
such way.
More play for all school children and less of this
high-powered play that takes- children all over the
country at great cost.
Deaths from Motor Cars
During the year 1930 there were six hundred and
eighty-one deaths from automobile accidents in North
Carolina. Fifty-two are reported as the result of
collision with railroad trains. The mortality rate
from automobile accidents was 21.4 deaths per hun
dred thousand inhabitants, against the national aver
age of 26.4 deaths per hundred thousand.
Naturally there is some relationship between the
number of inhabitants per motor car and the mor
tality rate from motor car accidents. North Carolina
ranks fortieth in inhabitants per motor car, but
thirty-fourth in death rate from automobile accidents,
which means that the death rate from motor car ac
cidents in North Caolina is higher relative to the dis
tribution of automobiles than the National average.
There is a lot of reckless driving in North Carolina.
One sees it almost every time he goes forth in his mo
tor car. Just why our mortality rate from motor ac
cidents is excessive we do not profess to know. Our
roads are excellent, well marked, and built for safety.
We have a motor police force of fair size. We suspect
that reckless driving and defective cars are mainly
wponsible for accidents. Both can and should be
curbed. Six hundred and eighty-one deaths. That
is n lot of people. We will be a hundred years
electrocuting as many people as are killed each year
in motor car accidents.— Umvcrrity Sews Litter.

Commendable Action
We admire the way Governor Gardner is handling
or is trying to handle the Rockingham mill strike. It
is the only honest and fair way to settle differences
between people. The two mill magnates refuse his
offer. The poor working people agree to peacefully
abide by his findings. - « *
The State should refuse to send patrolmen or
guardsmen to protect these mills. It is purely a
clash between money and men, and Governor Gard
ner is showing himself a friend to man.
Newell Favors High Tariff
Jake Newell, Republican candidate for the United
States Senate, says he is for a high protective tariff
and will be so long as the foreign wage scale remains
low.
- Tht trouble about our present tariff is that it has
abolished American wages and bursted the factories
and the farmers.
North Carolina Leads
/ """"" '
rhe Fertilizer Review recently off the press shows
that the consumption of commercial fertilizer in North
Carolina in 1931 was slightly more than one million
tops, by far the largest amount used by any state in
the Union.
We used one-fourth of all the fertilizer used in the
thirteen states classed as Southern.
We consume nearly one-sixth of all the fertilizer
consumed in the entire United States.
We consumed more than fifteen times as much fer
tilizer as the great cotton state of Texas.
We consumed more fertilizer than the twenty-three
states combined classed as Mid-Western and Western
—the states from Kentucky to the Pacific Ocean.
Manifestly the fertility of the soils of North Caro
lina has been greatly depleted when so much fertilizer
is required to produce even moderate yields.
It takes a lot of money to buy a million tons of
fertilizer. It costs a great deal in addition to dis
tribute a million tons of fertilizer.
The North Carolina farmer's fertilizer bill is three
times his Bill. One reason why it is hard
to pay taxes; Yet under our system of farming it is
necessary to buy the guano.— University News Letter.
Wasted Tax Money
/ :
Goldsboro Transcript and Messenger.
term of Wyne County court
clos«l unusual example of how tax money
is wasted. /
A case was galled, witnesses summoned, the whole
machinery of the court on hand to function—at tax
payer's expense. Attorneys were not ready for trial.
Other cases were called and other attorney who had
expected the first case to take up the rest of the term
of court were also not ready.
Nothing was done, at as much cost to taxpayers as
if court had worked at full speed and unusual effic
iency.
The present legal system is full of delays expensive
to that public treasury which penalizes with tax sales
when it is not fed. We suggest to the legal fraternity
that no better time than the present could be found
for working out a plan for those improvements in legal
procedure whose need is only too well recognized by
all conscientious lawyers.
What Secretaries Are For
New York Times. 1 ,
On Saturday the distinguished Siamese savant,
Penh Yahn, arrived in New York for the purpose of
studying the American Government. He lost no time
in applying himself to a diligent examination of the
newspaper headlines. By Thursday he had taken
note of the following:
"Secretary of War says Roosevelt is Vague."
"Assistant Secretary of War says New York is
Lost to Roosevelt."
"State Department Replies to Roosevelt."
"Democratic Chiefs at Odds, Says Secretary Mills."
Thereupon, the savant, with the swift intelligence
which is the heaven-born gift of every foreign visitor
who comes to this country to write about us, felt that
he had more than enough material in hand for his
first chapter on Executive Government in the United
States. He lost no time in getting to work.
The business of administration at Washington, he
wrote, is carried on under the of the Presi
dent by a Cabinet composed of ten members, whose
titles and duties are as follows:
The Secretary of State states the case for the Ad
ministration against the Democrats.
The Secretary of the Treasury treasures a healthy
distrust of Democrats and their ways.
The Secretary of War wages war against the Dem
ocrats and their candidates. •.
The Postmaster General devotes himself to saving
the post offices from the Democrats.
The Secretary of the Navy bombards, torpedses,
and blockades the Democrats.
* The Secretary of the Interior gives you the inside
dope about the Democrats.
The Secretary of Agriculture flails, harrows, and
rakes the Democrats.
The Secretary of Commerce refuses to have truck
or commerce with the Democrats.
The Secretary of Labor labors in the sweat of his
brow to expose the Democrats.
The Attorney General was once a Democrat him
self, but saw the light.
As for the business of administration at Washing
ton (concludes the distinguished Siamese savant), it
must be apparent from the above synopsis that it goes
on of itself.
