A visiting Britisher says that Americans use bad Eng lish. Yes they do, and some of the cotch is equally terrible. Nobody needs a correspondence course in will power. Just practice doing nothing when a mosquito bite itches. Boys will be boys, but in this day and time it appears that old women just will be girls. Over in England the other day they found a skull two inches thick. There probably was very little difficulty in identifying it as that of a senator. Some writer says he believes women will eventually con trol things. It was our impression that they already control everything in sight. North Carolina authorities report that many cars are found with faulty equipment. Yep, and in some instances the drivers are the faultiest of all. Signboards cluttering up the highways have always been bad enough, but now- we hear that talking signs have been invented. The tourist will probably have to' equip himself with ear muffs. FIGURES NOT NEEDED. pOVERNOR FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT of New York State is quoted as having said to the governors’ confer ence at New London, Conn., "no one of us has facts or fig ures at his.command to prove that there exists such a thing as a crime problem.” No facts or figures are needed in this respect. A glance at any daily newspaper any day in the week furnishes a record of crime, many of them of the most revolting charac ter. That there is a crime problem cannot be denied. As President Cleveland once said, this is a condition and not a theory. Crime has always existed to some extent but that it is on the increase is so very evident as to need no proof or discussion. The remedy is another matter entirely. Legislation is not going to stop crime. An improvement in morals is the only solution and how that is to be brought about is something the average man is not able to devise. TO BE COMMENDED. jpEOl’LE IN OCR neighboring state of South C arolina as a whole do not appear to be inordinately proud of the rec ord made by their chief executive, Governor John G. Rich ards, since Governor Richards’ entire administration has been marked by a series of failures in almost everything he has undertaken. Be that as it may, the people of the ad joining commonwealth will probably be happy over the fact that the governor did not hesitate to tell the heads of the organized labor unions just where they could get off when they attempted to dictate to him. Organized labor is probably all right in its place, but any man intelligent enough to be elected to a high place in such organization should know that he cannot, with impun ity, direct an insulting telegram to the governor of such a great state as is South Carolina. Governor Richards was very abrupt in his reply to the telegram and he had a per fect right to be. The governor expressed himself as being indignant and this indignation was probably shared hv all the people of his state. MR. KISTLER AND OCR ROADS. rJ"HE GREATEST NEED of Cleveland county is the re moval of District Highway Commissioner A. M. Kistler, of Morganton, and the placing in his place of a man sympa thetic to the needs and interests of the tax payers in the matter of road building. State highway officials already have broader discretionary powers than any other political body in the state and coupled with this is the haughty, ar rogant, domineering spirit of our highway commissioner. In routing No. 18 to Gaffney a route was selected which was not sponsored by citizens of lower Cleveland through which the road traverses. Three other routes were advocat »d. yet the state selects one which,it calls the “direct route,’* and selects it over all others. In the first place this is not a “direct route’’ as far as Gaffney and Shelby are concerned. It is more or less direct to the state line and on this point it perhaps got its name. We do not charge that politics entered into the state’s road building program started about eight years ago, but it certainly has this appearance. Gardner was Morrison’s strongest opponent eight years ago and when the non-par tisan highway board was created, Cleveland was put in a dis trict with a republican commissioner and here we have been ail these years. Were we penalized for furnishing strong op position to Morrison eight years ago? Certainlv we.did not the road money we were entitled to. EASY ENOUGH FOR HIM. gKCRKTARY ANDREW MELLON of the Treasury De partment would have us believe that the whole country is prosperous and that the American people are in better shape financially than they have ever been. It is not diffi cult to understand how Mr. Mellon trots that way. News items last week told that Secretary Mellon and his brother, chief owners of the Aluminum Company of America, profit ed in one day as the result in the rise of the value of that stock, to the extent of $40,000,000. It is almost inconceiv able that any two men could reap forty million dollars profit in one day without lifting a hand, but to further cap the climax, the same two brothers reaped an additional profit of thirty million dollars in the one day as the result of in creased stock market quotations of gas and oil shares they held. In other words, the two Mellons, if the figures we have seen quoted are correct, became richer by approximate seventy million dollars within a period of 24 hours and that without doing one thing in the world to earn it. Certainly it is not remarkable that Mr. Mellon thinks the country is prosperous, but unfortunately for the rank and file of us, we own no aluminum company shares and no gas and oil stocks and we know more about the lack of prosper ity in America today than Mr. Mellon can ever hope to learn. LAW AND MOR A MTV. WOULD NATURALLY be the case, there has been much discussion of laws, courts and juries since the recent, trial of Rafe King at. Chester and Shelby and Cleve land county people have by no manner of means agreed in any respect. In this connection a consideration of all laws may be of value. The law is not purposed to teach morality, The law against taking the life of another without jus tification, is a law to protect human life. It is not a means of teaching that it is immoral, without justification, to take the life of another. Very frequently the public becomes confused in this respect. If a man has a high moral character he will not take the life of another unless he feels justified, to the ex tent that no other course is open to him. He will refrain therefrom, not because it is against the law, but because it is against his own moral principles to do so, provided the proper principles have been instilled into him. On (he contrary, the law and the punishment inflicted by the law may serve to restrain a man wholly devoid of moral principle ol any kind and in this respect the law serv es to protect society. If the law is the only thing that keeps man from killing another without justification, no law can serve to teach that man morality. 1 he American people tend to become confused because, so often the result of a man having a strong moral character and the result of a man being afraid of the law are identical up to a certain point if measured objectively.

SELF DECEPTION. ^OME WISE WRITER correctly concludes that while it is v a fairly simple thins? for any of us to fool the public, it is almost impossible for any man to deceive himself for very long. A man may fool the public, he i^ay fool his friends, he may fool his family, but he can’t fool himself. lie has to live with himself 21 hours every day in the year. He can't get away from himself and no matter what people may think he is, no matter how successful he may be in making people believe he is something he isn’t, he hint si f will always know just exactly what he is. Some nu n know this. Some of them think of it. Some of them are just selfish enough to want to think well of themselves and to know that they deserve the respect of others and they so conduct themselves that they can thor oughly enjoy self respect. That is enlightened selfishness and it is the kind of self ishness that the world can well stand for it makes men good because they want,to lie good and that beats being good be cause you arc forced to be good. The hypocrite can’t really he very happy. People may think he is. They may think he is all he pretends to be. He may lead in prayer, say grace before meals, pose as a pious Christian citizen and still rob and cheat his fellow man. He may keep on fooling his fellow churchmen, hut he can’t very well fool himself for any great length of time and above all, be can't fool his God. When tie gets through his day’s labors during the course of which he has been engaged in fooling his friends, and then gets through fooling his neighbors at church, lie still has to deal with himself and when he retires to his couch he knows that he is going to sleep with a robber, a thief, a liar, a cheat and a hypocrite. And he knows very well that all the ingenuity of hell can’t separate him from that hypocrisy. No man can be truly happy unless he ho at peace with himself, knowing absolutely that he is all he pretends tA be and what he wants others to believe him to he; that consti tutes real happiness. 5,000 Homes Receive The Star Every Other Day—-Mr. Merchant Get Your Message To The Home Through The Star—You Will Get Results That Will Satisfy.
