As the business of the Ad vance increases, our wonder grows that we were ever able to get out a daily newspaper on the business we used to get. Any dictatorship is bad and history seems to prove that no dictatorship can endure. But when one must choose between dictatorships Fascism as prac ticed in Italy seems infinitely preferable to Bolshevism. It certainly carries out its pro gram with less waste of blood and treasure. In the Mid?l of Life It was 1 o'clock Thursday night. The news of the Presi dent's death, which occurred at 10:30 Eastern time, had just reached Elizabeth City, and the town apparently lay sleeping, with the exception of the danc ers in the Robinson Hall, and the workers in The Advance shop. Shocked and stunned by the death of the Chief Executive of the nation, who had only Thurs day afternoon been pronounced) out of danger by his physicians, the printers went about their ttask of getting the news into print to deliver to the people as soon as day should break. Theyj worked quickly and quietly,' sensing the seriousness and the sadness of the event which they were putting on to the printed page. They remembered with a feeling of kinship that the Chief Executive himself had begun his career in the print shop and had never ceased to carry his make-up rule until the summons had come to lay down all earth ly tftols. Grating sharply on the mid night air, out of harmony with the tragic event, came the ever repeated strains of the dance or chestra in popular and well worn jazz tunes. In the midst of life there is death. A Brave Woniiin In this day of a Nation's sad ness and bereavement, the hearts of the people of the whole country go out to Mrs. Warren G. Harding who, herself in frail health, had so steadfastly and faithfully remained by her hus band's Aide through the long hours of his illness and had seen fear for his life given way to al most certain hope of his recov ery, only to have this hope and confidence shattered when the President's life was snuffed out in the twinkling of an eye. A brave woman from the time when she faced the world in a pioneer home in the Middle West and then became the wife and co-laborer of a young news paper man trying to put a little daily strugling under a burden of debt on its feet, to the day when as first lady of the land she assumed burdens beyond her strength in the White House, Mrs. Harding's high courage has not failed or faltered in the supreme ordeal through which she is now passing and in which. The Advance hopes, she will be sustained by the prayers of all whose hearts *re kind and whose faith is secure.

Berlin ('enter for Political Refugees Is ll?|iiilly DKphu-Ing S\* it /ei laiul Iterance of lis Tolerant Attitude Rerlin, Aur. 3.?Germany is rap-| Idly displacing Switzerland as a cen ter for all sorts of political agitators and refugees. They are attracted I here by the falling mark and the tol- j erant attitude of th/? government. Switzerland rapidly is losing -favor with radicals of all sorts. Persians. Turks, Indians. Egyptians, Arabs and Tunisians aif- so numerous in this city that they have united in the erection of a Mohammedan mosque in one of the best residential sec tions of West Berlin. Mohammedanism gained consid erable foothold in Germany during the war. Many Mohammedans who were fighting with the Russian forces were taken prisoners by the Ger mans, or voluntarily Rave them selves into German hands, because they did not wish to fight against the Islamic brothers, tho Turks. These Mohammedans were treated with great consideration by the Ger mans. who placed them In a camp at Wuensdorf, a Berlin suburb. A mosque was erected there for them, and thoy were given every opportuni ty to live in accordance with their religion. In fact, they were guests of Germany, rather than prisoners. The missionary who is directing the construction of the new mosque belongs to an Indian Islamic move ment which hart* over 500,000 ad herents and is seeking to make the followers of Islam less. fatalistic, without altering in any way the teachings of the Koran. These re formers jfre called Ahmadlaten, and seek to win their fellow-religionists away from the iblind acceptance of I the phrase "Whatever happens Is Ithe will of Allah." In other words, they would persuade Mohammedans throughout the world that they need not submit to Christian domination; I that a holy war is capable of freeing Islam If tho followers of the tfjie faith wil throw off the spirit of the east and act with greater Indepen dence.

Woman't If'carV SAYS REFORMERS A GREATFAILURE Prof. Darwin Thinks More liurm I* Dour Than Good l>y Unnatural Methods of | Racial L'plift. | London. Auk. 3.?Social reform ers as a class do much more harm than good, according to Professor , Leonard Darwin, and society would Improve much faster if they ceased I to worry about it and let it go Its I own way. j Professor Darwin is a son of the | great Charles Darwin, and it is nat jural that he should hold strong j views on the survival of the fittest and how this best can be accom plished. He says that the misguided j efforts of many sincere and earnest : social reformers really result in en jcouraging the continuance of race in feriority and deterioration, which is (just the reverse of what\ they are trying to do. In a recent speech ?bvlo&e the Eugenic Education So ciety. of which he is president, he dwelt upon the harm he thought so cial reformers were doing. .... "Mate Selection" was the title of Professor Darwin's address. He was not sure that mate selection, in the present state of society, was good for the future of the race, and argued that when the fit married the fit they tended to have smaller families, whjle the inferior people continued | producing unfit types which became! more marked. "To secure human progress," he; said, "the inferior types must be j eliminated, and all that should <be I demanded is that this process he | made as little painful as possible." I Pity for others and solicitude for their liberty the speaker regarded | as among the things that constituted j obstacles in the way of racial im-1 prove m en t. "The philanthropists of today. I however. Professor Darwin said "only look on one side of the ques- j Itlon. and entirely ignore the racial! effects of the reforms they are ad vocating." i Both out-of-work doles to those' constitutionally incapable of work,! given without regard to the probabili ty of parenthood in the future,] would directly tend to promote the) inferiority of the race in the future, j .Motherhood endowment to the na-j turally superior and unfit'alike, these and other methods of relieving ! distresses, would have the same re sult, he contended. Altogether, as viewed by Profes sor Darwin, 'there* seemed to be a pretty blue outlook for the world generally, and even enlightened eu genlsts appeared to be able to find little comfort in his views. Hut Professor Darwin ssld in* ob jection to mate selection would dis appear if "by sf^ue method less cruel than that of -natural selection the Inferior stocks could be mailt- to mul tiply less quickly than the superior."
