INTER CAROLINAS BUS COMPANY I hi- elements of human drama were so mixed in the recent World series as to make these seven games of baseball the most remarkable in the history of the National sport. The hero was Bucky Harris, the young manager, who showed himself to be a human be ing rather than a machine. Me used his own head—and his heart as well— when most of the dopesters of the country including all of the metropoli tan newspaper writers united in com miserating him for having a heart. Having a heart might he all right in the bush leagues or even in business life, they reckoned, hut here was a j matter of using cool judgment and head work. They admired the nerve | oi the man, but how could he risk so [ much by having a heart? It was hard for them to understand. It all happened just as if it had been thought out by some master mind of fiction writing. It was fitting that it should be so, but it is better that a man with a heart has been vin dicated and that a baseball pitcher, j who didn't say die, was given his big chance to show his stuff. DIGEST (If FACTS BEFOflE THE PEOPLE Secretary of State (lives Information (in Proposals to be Vu^d «n In -Noveml>er Election. W ith public attendance largely cen tred in the proposal to issue $8,500, 000 in bonds which will be submitted to the voters of the stat& at the gen eral elecetion on November 4, Secre tary of State W. N. Everett received numerous inquiries in regard to the other five measures to be submitted at the same election. In response to these requests the secretary of state has prepared the | following digest of the four eonstitu | tional amendments and the other re i ferendum which will be voted on in j November: Inviolability of Sinking Fund. “To amend the Constitution by in serting a new section to be Section 30, Article 2, to read as follows: “Sec. 30. The general assembly shall not use nor authorize to be used any part of the amount of any sinking fund for any purpose other than the retirement of the bonds for which said sinking fund has been created.” luxation of Homes, Homesteads, Notes and Mortgages. To amend section 3 article 5, of the Constitution providing that notes, mortgages und other evidences of in debtedness, given to build, repair or purchase a home, when the loan does not exceed $8,000 from one to 33 years shall be exempt from taxation for 50 pei- cent of the value of the notes and mortgages: Provided, the holder of the notes must reside in the county where the land lies and there list for taxation: Provided, further that when the home is situated then the owner of the home shall be exempt from tax ation of every kind for 50 per cent of the value of said notes and mortgages. To Put Limit on State Debt.. To amend section 4, article 5, so that the general assembly shall have no power to contract any new debt or pecuniary obligation in behalf of the state, except for the refunding of val id bonded debt, and except to supply a. casual deficit for suppressing inva sions or insurrections, exceeding sev en and one-half per cent of the as sessed valuation of taxable property within the state as last fixed for taxation. As to Pay of Members of the Genera) Assembly. ‘To amend section 28, article 2, of the Constitution so that the pay of the members of the general assembly shall be $600 for the session of sixty days. If the session exceeds 60 days the members shall serve without ex tra pay. The members shall receive 10 cents per mile traveling expenses. For extra sessions the members shall re ceive $200 for their services. An Act to Provide a World War Vet erans’ Loan Fund. “This act briefly provides, as fol lows : “To authorize a boa# issue of two million dollars at an interest rate of not exceeding five per cent the pro ceeds to be loaned World war veterans in amounts not in excess of three thousand dollars at six per cent to each veteran and not exceeding 75 per cent of the appraised value of the real property offered as security, the loan to be used in the purchase of homes. The fund is to be administered by a board of advisors consisting of the secretary of state, the commissioner of agriculture, the attorney general and the state treasurer who shall ap point a person known as the commis sioner of the Veterans’ Loan fund, drawing an annual salary of $3,500.” Lucky Wtih His Dollar. Newberry Observer. A man in Florida in 1882 carved his initials on the first dollar that he ever earned, anti then, like Noah lib erating the dove, let it go into th* big world again. After 13 years wan dering it came back to him. Then ugain the other day after 42 years it returned to him again. We con gratulate him. Our dollars have not such an accommodating habit of ob serving old home week when once we have kissed them good bye. The seat of our government is al ways being kicked about. Love laughs at locksmiths, but only grins at a bill collector. OPINIONS —OF OTHERS— .... * Naturalizing Railroads One of the principal planks in Mr. LaFollette’s platform is the naturaliz ation of the railroads, along with all other public utilities of whatever na ture. Mr. Hoover objects strenously on several grounds, the most import ant being a fpnr that the government will come to he ruled by office hold ers, and that the interest charge on the $40,000,000,000 that will be at least $2,000,000,000 a year. There is a lot to be said on both sides of this matter. For one thing, the govern, ment has all along been controlled by office holders and for another thing, the railroads themselves will pay the interest on such bonded indebted ness as is necessary to bring them into government owership. As to whether the government would be worse off under the control of public utility employes than.it is under the contral of big business seems to be a question that can be settled best by actual experiment. It is a fact that government control of railroads was very unsatisfactory under war conditions; but the same is true of all other kinds of business under was conditions.—Yorkville Enquirer. A Forgotten Man | When a mamquits advertising the public forgdts him. The case of | Douglas, the shoe man, is a good il lustration of the point. In former years one could not pick up u paper in any part of the United States that did not carry his picture, the principal features of which were a rather bald pate, a fringe of hair and short “bui nsiders.” After awhile Douglas made the mistake of going into pol itics and was elected Governor of Massachusetts. Then his face was gradually eliminated from the news papers and the personality of Mr. Douglas lapsed into forgetfulness. He is now recalled to public notice by in formation of his death, while many people had believed him dead long ago. To all practical purposes he did I die when he quit advertising and all j are welcome to the moral they muy find in this short story.—Charlotte Observer. VIEWS IN BRIEF (Written for The Star by Marcy B. Darnall.) Slaughtered to make an American holiday—Jimmy Murphy, Joe Boyer Dario Resta and nearly a dozen other victims of automobile speedway rac ing- in the good year 1924. Take away the probability—almost certainty— that one or more drivers will be kill ed or maimed, and speedway racing is a tame sport. The prospect of witness isig a tragedy is what draws tha crowds . Has not civilization advanc ed far enough to frown on this and other forms of "dare-devil" stuff? Our forefathers fought against taxation without representation. We would fight today if any foreign or domestic force should attempt to de prive us of the ballot. Yet, in the last presidential election only 49 per cent of eligible citizens voted, and in many primary elections less than 25 per cent cast their ballots. This indiffer ence to one of our fundamental civic duties is a menace to representative government. Those who deliberated disfranchise themselves are unworthy of citizenship. Youthful murderers under sentence of death in various sections of the country are appealing for clemency, in view of the escape of Leopold and j Loeb from the gallows. If capital pun ishment is ever justified it certainly should have been meted out to the fiendish slayers of Bobby Franks. Poor, ignorant criminals deserve some consideration when rich and highly educated ones are shown mercy. We should abolish capital punishment if there is no way whereby the law may be applied to rich and poor alike. This brings to mind the appalling fact that more than 85,000 Americans have been murdered during the last ten years. As the murder rate is in creasing faster than the population, the next ten years may be expected to witness close to 150.000 of our peo ple done to death in the same manner. Pistol toting, laxity of criminal pro cedure and too much liberality in granting paroles and pardons will continue to contribute to this grue some result.

Shelby National Bank Bldg. Six Proposals To Be Voted On Soon ' Should Consider Them* Impar lanl Measures and Kxpress Their Sentiment at the Poll*. Six proposals are to be submitted! to the voters of North Carolina on! general election day next November.' The genera) run of voters are not! aware that these are tq be presented | to them for their approval or rejec tion, but no doubt considerable will be said about them between now and November. The six proposals are as follows: To inaugurate a port or water transportation development. This is the so-called port bill which was l>e fnre the special session. To authorize an appropriation of $2*000,000 to aid world war veterans acquire farm lands. To increase the per diem members of the general assembly to $10. To make inviolate the sinking fund for state bonds. lo limit the bonded indebtedness the statu may incur. To exxempt from taxation mortea-i ges and deeds of trust on homes. Constitutional amendments and other proposals have a rather rough; road in North Carolina referendum* i which makes the matter of predict-! ing the fate of the ones to be voted I on this year mo»t uncertain. The peo ple don’t pay very much attention to (Hose'things, a> a rule. However, the poet measure will serve to .stimu late more interest than usual in the list of this year, and may result in bringing out a heavier vote* on them than has been the effect in some of the past amendment elections. But, the voters, should rigiit now begin studying the proposals and prepare themselves to vote intelligently on them next November. Every one of them is important, and a deefat or adopt without proper regard to their affect might work to the disadvantage of the state. There is little doubt the desirability of adopting most of the proposals| and it might probably be wise to adopt the entire list. That is a matter that the voters will have to determine for themselves. All of them huve merit, hut we are frank to say that we want more information as te the second in the list as published above, though if the provisions are what we think they are, the entire Ijulf dozen should be a proved.—Dur ham Herald.
