THE EI,KIN TRIBUNE Published E*«ry Thursday by ELK PRINTING COMPANY, Inc. Elkln, N. C. „ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1937 Entered at the post office at Elkin, N. C., as second-class matter. C. 8. FOSTER President H. F. LAFFOON Secretary-Treasurer SUBSCRIPTION RATES, PER TEAR In the State, *1.50 • Out of the State. $2.90 Autumn leaves are something to rave about, even when they clutter up the lawn. What Europe's diplomats need to do is sit awhile at the foot of Egypt's Sphinx. Diversified/farming doesn't necessarily mean that a mortgage should be added to the farm program. "A family man is one who works all day to provide for his family and then feels grateful if one of them sews on a button for him."—Robert Quillen. There she blows again! Anthony Eden tells the British Parliament that Uncle Sam called that "quarantine" conference. Mean ing we reckon, that if there is any quaran tining done we will have to do it. Is It the Beginning: of a Clean-Up? That was an impressive start of a rum runner purge for Northwest Carolina at Winston-Salem last week, and as such com mands the deep interest of the people of this immediate section. When federal agents arranged for the change of address of twen ty-five of these master bootleggers who will now get their mail via federal prisons in Chillicothe and Atlanta, it is estimated that Winston-Salem's supply of drinking liquor will be reduced by one-half. A Winston-Salem newspaper man esti mates that these conspirators, representing to rum-running gangs have poured 100,000 gallons of liquor into the twin-city in the last year, which indicates a right profitable business, thank you, as well as a thirsty populace. It is significant that among the twen ty-five are some of the ring-leaders in the racket, not all of them, perhaps, but enough to show that the law in this case was not satisfied with taking the go-betweens for a ride. Most of them were rounded up sever al months ago, but followed the usual course by giving bond and then going right back into their business again, but the profits they built will hardly be considered satisfac tory compensation for the two-three years of enforced idleness they will experience. If any one of them expected tenderness and mercy at the hands of Judge Johnson J. Hayes they were disappointed. Feling as he does about liquor it was an easy matter for him to say "eighteen months" and "three years" in Chillicothe or Atlanta. And along with the federal judge's antipathy for liquor is the fact that these offenders were bilk ing Uncle Sam out of some $200,000 or more in taxes. And that in itself has come to be an impelling motive these days for the law's effectiveness. But what has Winston-Salem to say about it? In the break-down of these de liveries, it is estimated that around 150 gal lons of contraband liquor was poured into that city every day for the past year. And of course that doesn't represent the total consumption. We call that going some for a dry community that we'll bet a pewter nickel would vote conclusively against the establishment of liquor stores within its boundaries. If editor Sanford Martin will take the time to explain, we'd be mighty much oblige. Doesn't Seem to Hinder When any human activity presents a picture of enduring success, the tax hounds are not slow to scent its trail, and beat a path to its door. Every legislative body in the country is looking for new tax sources, and unlike Diogenes they don't nose around with a lantern either. More often than not when they tap the till of heavy profits they coninue the toll in mounting schedules until there is utter dis couragement. But the auto industry is about the only exception to this rule. Taxed almost beyond all conception, the sales continue to mount, replacements are a certainty, and although loaded to the hilt with taxes the industry thrives to the point where it has become one of the most extensive in the land. Count. 'em: Registration fees, drivers' license, luxury taxes, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, tire taxes, and accessory and title fees. These run the totals to a big per cent age the costs of owning a car. Yet they are being sold in increasing numbers. The increased and increasing output in dicates that even though those who buy pay these tolls, apparently they Uke it, and autos continue to crowd the assembly lines of doz • - . 4 * i- „~i' >vs. ens of makers, every one of them a ticket taker for governments that must have mon ey to keep the trough full of swill for those who have their feet in it. If this proves anything it is that the richest tax field and one that brings the least grumbling is that which involves the pleasure of the American people. They are inclined to grumble like blue blazes about taxes on what they eat and wear—all neces sities of life. But when they take a notion for a new flivver or a week-end football game they don't whimper when the govern ment reaches out an itchy palm. , Can't Come The decision of England's one-time king to defer indefinitely his proposed visit to the United States will be disappointing to social ites who have been all agog about what was ahead for them, but if that is the way he feels about it, there won't be much sleep lost because of it in this neck of the woods. True, a lot of us would have been pleas ed to have the Duke, if he really is sincere about studying labor conditions in this coun try, to visit around undisturbed and unpi loted as he was in Germany where he was allowed to see only one side of the picture and that painted by a representative of Adolph Hitler. And besides, America has a warm feeling for the Duke, who as crown prince mingled among our people for a spell and made a favorable impression. But if he and his publicity-seeking manager thinks that we will be set on our ears about the cancel lation of his trip, they have another think coming. The cancellation was prompted by the attitude of Lewis and Green, heads of the organized labor groups, not toward Edward himself, but Charles Bedaux who seemed to be acting as advance agent for the show. Bedaux, who has made gobs of money charting efficiency plans for industry is the originator of the "stretchout system." em ployed in many mills in this country, a sys tem that labor has been fighting with might and main since its initiation, and labor lead ers quite naturally did not feel very kindly toward one whom they felt was unfriendly to them, especially when there was the probability that if anything comes from the Duke's professed interest in the worker, Be daux's ideas most certainly would be ap plauded and exalted in whatever conclusions Edward would give to the world. So far as the stretchout system is con cerned, it has merit that common sense will recognize at a glance, but that is an argu ment that calls for all the details of its workings, except that it could be boiled down to say that the system provides for a re ward for the ambitious worker who pro duces more without penalizing those who are willing to measure their efforts by the clock —thus running counter to the theories of organized labor. But going back to the Duke's non-visit. We sympathize with Wally in her disap pointment in the trip back home, for she must be lonesome for the good old American ways. But there is a finality about royalty that must be respected, as probably she, like we, have observed. The Grange Leadership The election of Harry B. Caldwell as Master of the North Carolina Grange has been given favorable comment throughout the State, although his selection means that native Tarheels have willingly been eased aside to make room for a Northener who has been among them for only a comparatively short time. Caldwell is an Ohioan whose first work in North Carolina was in our neighbor county, Wilkes, where he organized Grange units that have endured. The fact of their continued strength and interest attest Cald well's efficiency in laying the foundation. He will make a clean and alert leader for this farm organization, and one commenta tor declares that under his leadership the Grange will attain a prestige hitherto un reached or it will break up into factions, rather than stand still. Harry Caldwell has been among us long enough to know that rural North Carolina is not exactly a replica of rural Ohio, and if sentiment here runs counter to the national policies of the Grange he will know it with out being told. Then if he elects to run counter to North Carolina sentiment, if he undertakes to reshape it, time alone will de termine the measure of his success. For one thing is certain: right now there is a differing viewpoint. The national Grange is one of the oldest farm organiza tions and is particularly strong in the cen tral and middle western sections. But the national Grange is up to its ears in politics. Its officers have loudly opposed administra tion policies, while North Carolina farmers have been inclined to string along with the New Deal. It is significant that at the Winston- Salem meeting of the Grange, although it is generally admitted that the majority of members in this State favor compulsory crop control legislation, the State Grange strad dled the issue. Obviously this action was in deference to the parent organization if not actually at its behest. All of which is the Grange's own business. But we are re membering the fate of the old Farmer's Al liance that went into a veritable tailspin when it jumped into politics in this State. We are sincerely hoping that Harry Caldwell will pilot his organization over the shoals and into still waters, because it can be made a force for good in North Carolina with able leadership, such as we are sure he is capable of providing.

Dickson) FIRESIDE PHILOSOPHY Neither the cynic, the stoic, noi the Epicurean has the propei philosophy of life. The person who helps one oui of trouble, of course, is a friend but the one who keeps him out is a better one. The safe engineer is the om who keeps his eye In his train. The size of a person depend; upon whom h is with. If every mar could hear hi: funeral before he dies, what i rosy old worlc this would be! One differ ence between a wise man and t foolish one is that the wise on( looks ahead and the foolish on looks behind. Experience is one of the "torch lights" of civilization. One should be careful in ac cepting a gift from an enemy. Neither sophistry nor platitude: will suffice for real truth. The gods have no greater gifl than that of gratitude. The quickest way to kill a "tale' is to kill it before it is born. No person has any friends tc lose. A good habit should be culti vated; a bad one should be let die If the head of the fountain ii muddy, the whole stream is pol luted. The person who lives right wil evidently die right. Just one little daisy by the sid of life's road is worth more thar all the floral wreaths that can tx placed upon a dead man's grave. Tell me the things in whict you are primarily interested anc I will tell you the stuff you ari made of. No person is fit to rule who, ii a great measure, is not able t control himself. One immediate need real home-makers. r= However worthy the cause, ful credit cannot be given to the per son who acts because of dire ne cessity. Wise indeed is he who, through foresight, forestalls distress and destruction. The only safety for the little fish is to either, stay out of the water or swim faster than the big ones. COOL SPRINGS Who of us does not remember our happy visits to the old home place, when the table had all the extra "leaves" added to make room for the children, and the visiting friends? And then oftimes there would not be room, and a second table had to be spread. Weh that is what happened at Cool Springs Sunday, the chil dren returned again, and many visitors too were welcomed here. The house was filled to overflow ing, and all standing room taken and yet the crowd gathered. An old-fashion friendliness, a hearty comradeship marked the gathering through the Bong ses sion; and we had just one grade of singing and that was good. Sixteen groups of singers were present. Those participating in the song service were: Cool Springs' Old Time Singers (without music), Yadkin Valley Pour, Bethel Four, Glenhope Singers of Burlington, Eureka Quintette, Sunshine Quar tette. Young Ladies Quartette, Cool Springs, Happy Day Quar tette, South Pork of Winston-Sa em, Friendly Four, East Elkin, J. P. .Adams and daughter, Shady Orove had two groups present, a quartette and an octette, Cool Springs' Junior Duet, Wall Quar tette, JonesviUe.
