February 5. 1937 ~Xh Old Prayer Still Good An old prayer written more thin 100 years ago and to which the author did not even trouble him sell to sign, is just. as appropriate today as a pica (or Divine guidance in living a u- nil and happy life as it when fresh from the writer's pen. fashion, change with the seasons, something new today is changed for something newer tomorrow, whole'gener ations pass out of existence and centuries are liken ed unto a mere day or two, but the principles and teachings of the Almighty hold to a true course and without change Religious truth- are often warped and bent to lit our individual beliefs, but those truths remain unaltered and unalterable in the end. There's little to add to the prayers recorded cen turies ago, for dealing with a stable force, they are, like the one Ire low, just appropriate today as when written. Its author unknown, the prayer written as a peti tion for Divine help in living a healthy, u-eful and happy life, follows: Gil'i me 11 giror/ digestion, hint, . Anil also sunn thing to digest Give me n healthy body, Lord, With sen ? enough to, keep it as its best. (Jive n.i a In althy mind,, good Lord, To keep the good and puri in sight, Which seeing sin is not appaled, Hut findi a way to set it right (Jivi me a mind that +s not hound, That does not whim pi r, shine or sigh Don't let me worry over much, About this funny thing called "I". (Jive me. a sense of humor, laird, (live me the grace to see a joke To get tome happiness out of life. And pass it on to other folk. A Crisis in Crime Sforgantoit News-lierald ? " Kighty-cight men were convicted of capital crin.es 'h of \orlh t "arolin-i in the past fouryxors, and SO were executed, constituting an all-time high for the state. - i _ this is reported by hdwin Gill, parole commission er, in a summary in which he sees "a crisis in capital punishment l)is|x>sition of 88 cases in the Khring haus administration compares with 55 in Che Gardner ]x*riod, and 42 each in the McLean and Morrison administrations. "The increase in capital felons is no more alarming than the increase in criminal commitments generally," he says. "We see that the sharp increase in capital felonies is matched by a radical increase in general crime commitments.'' The general prison population of the State increased 250 per cent as compared to a population increase of only 43 per cent. The Stale prison in 1910 had a population of 800, as com|>ared with 2,800 in 1930. An arresting fact is that the Man on Dgath Row," a composite of the capital felons, is a product of North Carolina society, for 74 of the 88 were natives of this State. Let's look at the composite picture of "The Man on Death Rrow:" 1. A native North Carolinian "of our own people and the product of our own society." Seventy-four of the 88 were North Carolinians, and all but 2 were Southerners. 2. Usually illiterate. Forty-two |>er cent could not read or write or had no schooling beyond the third grade. Only one went as high as the second year in college. 3. A poor man. Seventy-one appealed as paupers, leaving 12 who did not ap|>eal at all and only 5 who give bond. When tried, 60 were unable to employ counsel. 4. Twenty-eight years old. The youngest was IS and the oldest was 7>S years of age. Two were com muted to life imprisonment because they were IS and 16 years old. 5. In race, usually a Negro. Twenty-nine of the 88 were white, 50 negroes, and only 1 was an Indian. Only I of the 88 was foreign-born, a Bulgarian. With the exception of one case, all were men. There arc ibuee who will argue that crime preven tion agencies have not functioned effectively and who will present many explanations of the cause, but in its final analysis the responsibility rests with the so ciety that produced the felons. Crime we will have with us always. Police and courts cannot prevent it. Poverty and ignorance underlie this spread of ma jor crime--. The social order must weight these fun damental causes. For every murder there is a victim, and security cannot come for an individual until his fellow citizen is lifted from the slough of circumstance that may bring him to a commission of crime. From poverty, the economic aspect we may turn to ignorance. The average of the capital felons had anty i.fi years schooling. Says Mr. Gill: "If we are able to get a true picture of the educational status ol the=e men we are compiled to discount liberally even the modest educational claims made here, ff we add to the total number of illiterate those going only as far as the third grade, we find a total of 37, or ap proximately 42.04 per cent of the total capital felons with practically no education." The Legion and Pensions Suffolk Ledger-Dispatch. In the current issue of the American Iji0on Weekly the l egion's national commander, Harry W. Colmery, denies that this veterans' organization is driving to ward general pensions for those who fought in tht World "War. It is true, he says, that the Legion is seeking more compensation for widows and orphan of veterans, hut "nothing could be farther from the truth" than the suggestion that the Legionnaires are preparing to follow up the bonus drive with a general |H-nsion drive. He cannot pledge the Legion as to its future course, he explains. "But I can state plainly and without quibbling what its course will Ik- during in) term of office," he declares. This should afford some encouragement to those who have read the signs of the times as indicating that the veterans are preparing to follow up the bonus payment with fresh demands upon the Federal treas ury There have been introduced in the present Con gress several hills -prepared, press re|x>rts state, by | the Veterans of Foreign Wars?that have all the a|> pearance of forerunners of pension legislation. For one thing they would provide compensation for wid ows and orphans of veterans whether or not the lat ter died from war-connected causes. They propose to increase substantially payments to veterans who have 30 percent or more disability. And they make other provisions which would tend to broaden the vet erans' compensation program. Mr. Colmery is entirely right, of course, when he says that the country owes an obligation to iLs dis abled war veterans and to their widows and orphans who may Ik- in need With the Legion's program to this end the country should lie in the fullest sympa thy. And it is reassuring that Mr. Coltnery guaran lees that during his term in office, at least, no general pension drive will lie launched by his organization. It is to be ho|ied that the great body of the Legion, with its admitted influence upon law-making, will supimrt this view of the matter. But the country will watch with anxiety the course of the proposed legis lation now In-fore Congress just the same?legislation thai i-. approaching ilmgi-riuisly near the- ImrcWIin. between deserved compensation and wholly undeserv ed pensions. If Mr. Colmery can prevent the Legion from crossing that borderline he will have rendered a very real service to the country. Timely Advice Rocky Mount lleraltl (iovernor Hoey in'addressing the Sir Walter Cabi net, whith organization is composed of the wives of legislature and state officials, spike upon the nftes sity of training people to use their hands. He dis closed that the largest class of |>eople on the relief rolls is not the unlettered and illiterate, but is the so called educated white-collared class. This, indeed, is ,t very sad commentary and prolrably this advice to tlu-e ladies of high station was most timely, especially when he brings to light a condition which many of our |>eople do not realize. So often times, the un letter and illiterate, before receiving any aid, has to stand (or hours at the door of .the charity office, es [>osing himself to the gaze and the elements to get a sack ol flour antl a piece of fat-back; when the re muneration to the other group is sent by check. This, of course, makes tlie casual observer feel that these millions for relief are going to the poor illiterate, when, in truth and fact, it is going to another group The mind always works more efficiently when the individual has had some practical training of the use of the hands. The advice of our distinguished Gov ernor is timely. TRIO THEATRE ?
