With the advent of the cantaloupe and watermelon sea son, we are becoming more and more thoroughly convinced that Cleveland county is the garden spot of the world. Of course nobody in Cleveland county has any personal acquaintance with the Hon. Jack Jones, Member of Parlia ment. but we are all agreed that hr must be a pretty brave man to call Lady Nancy Aston a liar. The secretary of commerce hopes that the next Federal census is going to rut the cost, of living, and doubtless Hie secretary of commerce also hopes that he is going to go to heaven some of these days. The fact that North Carolina takes her polities seriously is demonstrated by several gentlemen looming on the hori zon at this early date who are “receptive” candidates for the governorship. And by the way, just who ever heard of a candidate that was not “receptive?" Bishop Cannon says that prohibition would he cheap for this country even at a cost of one hundred million dol lars. But the good Bishop probably means that much of other people’s money and not any of that he is supposed to have made out of the stock market. All of us know that Castonia, an a community, is all right but it appears to be a pretty well demonstrated fact that some of the police force over that way are of the hard boiled variety. It is the business of an officer of the law to preserve the peace, not to roam the highways as-nulling citizens. BEATING A PATH. QR. CHARLES MAYO of Rochester, Minn., has just been honored by the highest degree it is possible, to confer in England upon a physician and this calls to mind the truth of the statement that if a man build a better mousetrap than anyone else, the world will beat a path to his door. How many people in Cleveland county, or in all North Carolina for that matter, would have ever heard of Roches ter, Minn., had it not been for the Drs. Mayo? And on the other hand, how many people are there now anywhere in the United States, unaware of the wonders performed in medi cine by these distinguished men? Certainly the world has worn a beaten path to their door, and rightly so because they have performed latter day miracles for suffering humanity and deserve all the praise showered upon them. PLEASING TO ALL. '“J'HE MORE OR LESS Honorable Thomas J. Heflin, United States Senator from the grand and glorious old State of Alabama, has thrown in hjs lot with Bishop James Cannon, Senator Furnifold M. Simmons, ct al, and is now seeking the scalp of John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic executive committee. Quite a distinguished company we should say! Cannon, Simmons and Heflin. If the average man were running for office, in this day and time, he would rather have the opposition of the three men in question than to have their support and so far as this newspaper is con cerned, The Star believes if there had been any doubt exist ing as to Mr. Raskob’s fitness for the high post he holds, it has been removed by the opposition voiced by the three men in question. —. Heflin. Cannon and Simmons, as things stand at pres ent, would be able to disrupt and defeat any political party the world has ever known. WHY ONE DAY? C^ECRE l A in GOOD of the United States War Department is urging that some one day out of each year he set aside as “draft" day on which all male citizens in the United I States between the ages of 18 and 45 years of age, shall be required to present themselves before a draft board and reg- j istor themselves for military service, so that they would be available in the event of war. The secretary s suggestion may lip a very good one, but we fail to recognize in its entirety that it is of verv much value. When occasion arose during the World War for the United States to put the selective draft into operation, there i was very little difficulty experienced in setting up the prop-! er machinery with which to carry out this registration, and j the same would be true should there be another war. If the secretary wants to do something of real value for I KIs country, why not advocate and urge for the passage of a period of required military training, as is done in some of the other countries of the world? If the United States de sires to be prepared for war, there is no reason why every young man in the country could not be required to take at least one year of military training by the time he attains his majority. Certainly one year out of his life, from a ! standpoint of social diversions and business activities, would be no great loss and then in the event war came, the United Males wouiu oe auie 10 muster overnignt me greatest iorce of trained fighting men in the world. How any good cause would be served by requiring every one to register is a little difficult to understand, but it is not, hard to believe that one year of compulsory military training for every young man in the United States between the ages of 18 and 21, would be of real and lasting value, not only to the country, but to the individual himself. HOM MUC H WILL HE SUFFER? ^ NEW YORK BANKER has just made public admission that lie is responsible for the crash of his bank in which de positors lost five million dollars, more or less. He takes the blame for the crime, if it was a crime and the natural pre mises is that it was a crime, but the uestjon is, how much is this going to help the people at large, many of whom had entrusted the savings of a life time to his care? i nr (nances are tnat trie nanxer in tms case, as in so many cases with which I lie public is familiar, will engage able legal counsel and will escape with minimum punish ment, if any at all. lie may go entirely free and not. only that, but retain a good portion of the five million dollars. It may sound like a travesty upon justice, but the fact remains that it is safer to steal five million dollars in this country than it is to steal five hundred dollars. The average poor man, tempted by family needs and possibly urged on by actual hunger, if he steals five hundred dollars and is caught, as be usually is, will fare far worse than the rich banker who takes the millions. HERE SHE COMES. J^RS. MABEL WALKER W1LLEBRANDT, who gained more or less undesirable fame as an assistant attorney general of the United States, and whose activities in the re cent presidential election were very marked, has decided to turn her “talents" to writing and has prepared for the news papers of the country (for which, of course, they will be re quired to pay) a series of articles entitled “The Inside of Prohibition.'’ Strange to say, some of the leading newspapers of North Carolina have purchased the series from the syndicate pro ducing Mrs. Willebrandt’s articles, and it may be that a part of the newspaper reading public will find considerable inter est therein. That, however, is open to question. If Mrs. Willebrandt will explain in detail her political activity during the presidential election, and her hatred of Al Smith, together with the vindictiveness she displayed against that candidate, it is quite probable that her article would make more interesting reading, but it is to lie doubted if that much truth will be found in what she has to ray about prohibition and her activities in that direction. GOOD WORK DONE. "pHE STAR DOES NOT feel that it is amiss to make men tion of the splendid work done here this week by .lodge Harding, Solicitor Spurling and the other attaches of Cleve land Superior court in clearing the docket of so many cases in such a^hort. length of time. It is true that in most instances the cases tried here thus far this week have been of small importance to the general public, but the cases were on the docket and as long as they remained there, it was to the discredit of Cleveland county. Judge Harding has net been abrupt in insisting that the court speed up its affairs, but at the same time he has been very firm and he has impressed upon the members of the local bar that the court's time cannot be imposed upon in a needless manner. He has kept things moving right along from the moment the court opened and the result is that the Cleveland county docket is in all probability in better shape right now than it has been for some months. It is^our observation that long delays in court tend to lessen respect for the law and increase crime. If a man in clined to a criminal act thinks that he can gain endless pro crastination in court, he is more likely to consider that po tential crime in a more favorable light, but if be knows that speedy .justice and inexorable punishment is awaiting him. it is probable that be is going to hesitate for a good bit be fore committing the criminal act. The gentlemen in charge of Cleveland's court for the past week deserve credit for the manner in which this court, has been conducted.

Charce 2.ic The first choice of millions of motorists t^r©psellout America OU hear a lot of talk and read many statements now. X adays, about how many millions of this or that the hare been sold ... and why. These statements fail to point out, however, that a large percentage of all these tires are sold as "factory equipment” on popular makes of aut< mohiles. In other words, the motorist himseif has had very little to say about selecting the tire equipment oi the new car he buys. When these same motorists, however, have an oppor tunity to studv tire quality and tire values for themselves the story becomes somewhat different!... Take, for example, the popularity of RIVERSIDES among ear-ow ners. This famous tire was introduced to the Amer ican public 18 years ago. Since that time RIVERSIDES turn been sold to many millions of motorists throughout America. A great majority of these tires have been sold on merit alone—w ithout anv high-pressure salesmanship. And they were bought on just three points: the splendid reputa tion of Montgomery Ward & (Jo. — the deiinite nr'lcr-ge guarantees under w hit'll RIVERSIDE Tires hive always been sold-and the recommendation ot millions of satisfied users. Farts like these cannot he disputed or ignored. They explain why RIVERSIDE Tires occupy a pla :» among the leaders of the industry — and it is because of these facts that we make the claim, ansi back it with our euarantees, that Riversides are THE EQUAL OF ANY TIRE MADE, regardless of price. This statement we are anx ious to have you prove to your own satisfaction —on your own car-the next time you are in the market for tires. In the matter of price, RIVERSIDES, of course, save you money. Compared with the five or six other leading makes of equal quality, for example, your savings on a RlV ERSIDL range from about $2 per tire (on the 29x4.40 RIVERSIDE Balloon) to $5 to $10 on larger sizes. Surely such sav ings merit vour most careful consideration ... particularly in view of the fact that w hen you purchase a RIVERSIDE you arc protected by definite guarantees of 16,000 and 30,000 miles of service! No other make of tire in America today, backed hy an organization with the responsibility of Montgomery Ward & Co., is sold under such definite mileage guarantees.
