SENATOR SIMMONS.
John Temple Graves' Tribute to The
Man who Has Been Elected Sena
tor From North Carolina For The
Fifth Time.
John Temple Graves, in Henderson
ville Times:
With more than ordinary hearti
ness, The Times desires to add its
indorsement to several recent com
mendations that have been written
concerning our senior Senator, Fum
ifold M. Simmons.
I nave frequently wondered wheth
er we give enough of praise to our
patient, faithful public men who rep
resent us so strongly and capably
amid the arduous duties and respon
sibilities of our National life at
Washington.
To a faithful man it is no light and
easy job to capably discharge these
high duties and responsibilities. It
is a matter of work, it is a matter
of worry, and it is a matter of
painstaking details to consider and
conserve the multitude of things
which enter into the life of a capable
representative of the people in the
high councils of the Nation.
It may be said without hesitancy
that no State in the Federal galaxy
is better and more capably repre
sented at Washington that the State
of North Carolina in its senior Sen
ator. The years he hbs spent in our
service there have been wisely and
profitably spent for the welfare of
the Commonwealth ana tne wenare
of the Republic. There is no abler
representative of a sovereign State
in the National Congress than Sena
tor Simmons. He has won by high
ability through patience and toil for
years, the right to be regarded as
eminently wqyfby to the high estate
to which North Carolina called him
some years ago and fully vindicates
the extraordinary diligence and vigor
with which he has maintained the
public expectations.
He has demonstrated himself, in
this economic era, a citizen of high
character and attainment and a pub
lic servant of extraordinary fidelity
and effectiveness.
Sitting in the press gallery for
many years, I have always been
struck with the patient, toilsome
<. capability with which Senator Sim
mons has done his work. One of the
quietest of all the men in the United
States Senate, with less, perhaps, of
ostentation than any other Senator in
its ranks, with less time spent in
pleasure and frivolity than, perhaps,
any other man on the floor, and in all
sufficient adequacy for every demand
which his public career has laid upon
him, Senator Simmons commands the
resppct and confidence of his own
people and of the people of the Re
public.
Whenever great questions of fi
nance and the tariff, and of any eco
nomic meaning of more than ordi
nary importance, engage the atten
tion of the Senate, that body, with
one accord, and without regard to
party, iooks to the North Carolina
Senator as one of its ablest leaders
and counselors.
Perhaps no man in the great Fed
eral body does more work, or in a
wiser, better way than the senior
Senator of North Carolna. More
public men turn to him for counsel
and guidance and listen to his con
clusions always with more respect
and confidence. He has never failed
in two decades of public life to meas
ure up to the responsibility and wis
dom ,wMch was expected of him. It is
a source of, pride to the Old North
State to feel that this great business
element of our State and National
life is so much respected and so much
depended upon by the representa
tives of all the States and by the Re
public at large.
If there is a man in public life in
Washington who earns his salary
and repays the obligation which he
owes tc the Commonwealth for the
signal confidence and honor which it
has shown him for many years, it is
this faithful, patient, citizen and
servant.
The Times speeds its best congrat
ulations and best wishes to Senator
Simmons at this time and invokes for
him continued health and the con
tinued expression of a people whose
appreciation grows year by year, as
the practical evidence of his splendid
service multiplies and becomes more
and more evident day by day.
THINK IT OVER.
I do not preach that all is well
Within this world. We must
admit,
And any one with sense can tell
Things might be better quite t
bit.
But, on this statement you can bet
As sure as two times two is four,
"Unless you earn the pay you get
You haven't any right to more."
If you are sure you do your trick
And give the service that is due,
You've got a reasonable kick
At any one who's skinning you.
But were the present scheme upset
This would be true, as 'twas of
yore,
"Unless you earn the pay you get
You haven't any right to more."
The shirk who soldiers on the job,
The loafer who's just "getting by,"
What right have they to whine and
sob
Because they are not living
high? *
They haven't paid their honest debt,
What business have they to be
sore?
"Unless you earn the pay you get
You haven't any right to- more."

ADOLESCENCE.
Youth's Companion.
Adolescence is the period of rapid
growth that follows puberty and ex
tends to full maturity; that is,
roughly, among northern people be
tween the ages of twelve or fourteen
and twenty-one or twenty-two years.
It is a time of rapid mental growth
as well as of bodily and psychic in
stability, the emotional changes are
sharply marked.
It is the age that feeds on sensa
tion and seeks its nourishment large
ly in spots, adventure, dancing,
sometimes dissipation and frequently
emotional religion. Intellectually the
youti. is likely to take up with fads
and isms — socialism it may be or
even bolshevism, agnostisism or
avowed atheism. Absorption in self
and indifference to the rights of oth
ers is common, 01 on the other hand
there may be the most quixotic
altruism, a passionate longing for
self-sacrifice or for martyrdom in
some cause. The interests may
chang frequently, or they may per
sist and form the basis of future
character. ^
It is during adolescence that habits
are formet}, mental and moral and
physical, the time that the twig is
bent in the direction that the tree
will grow. Wise guidance is there
fore most necessary, but it must be
really wise and infintely patient,
for adolescence is pre-eminently the
age when restraint or discipline is
most resented, yet when discipline,
both self-discipline and submission to
an experienced guide, is essential.
The task will be easier if obedience
has been taught and enforced in
childhood. "
The body should be carefully
watched tnd attended to. The food
should be simple but nourishing;
abundant exercise in the open air is
needed, indeed is the classical means
for dispelling the vapors of adoles
cence; and long hours of quiet sleep
must be obtained. By such precau
tions as those many a boy or girl
may be saved from those disorders
of the mind or of the body the seeds
of which, especially of dementia
praecox and of tuberculosis, are most
linely to be sowed at that time of
life. The "shutting'-up" system
sometimes practiced by adults to
ward the young is neither wise nor
kind. The need fqr expression is
genuine and hea!thy\and should be
met by genuine and healthy sym
pathy. Failing that' the youth often
seek self-expression in wrong direc
tions — and that is the beginning of
many a tragic story.
There is significance in the story
that Joseph had a coat of many col
ors. He became, later, the greatest
politician in Egypt.—^Columbia Rec

In 1 914 it required 555 bushels of wheat to equal the
price of a Ford. To-day it only requires 318 bushels to
buy the same car with many improvements.
In 1 91 4 it required 4900 pounds of lint cotton to buy
a Ford Touring Car. To-day 1 500 pounds will buy the
same car with many improvements.
It required two or three times as much live stock or
live stock products in even exchange for a Ford Touring
Car in 1 914 as it does to-day.
Based on National average weekly earnings it re
