T-HE GUGGENHEIM FUND for the Promotion of Aeronau tics is going to spent $150,000 in an effort to find a foo! proof” airplane—a plane that can be flown by the average man with no more risk or special training tVian are involved in the driving of an automobile. If such a plane is ever developed, and marketed at, a reasonable price, aviation would take a bound forward that would make, all of its former progress look infinitesimal. The day of “aerial flivvers," predicted by daring prophts for years, would actually be at hand. All of us would go flying. Thai such a plane wil larrive eventually is hardly to be doubted. The aviation experts are coming closer to it everv month. The Guggenheim Fund's present search may be unsuccessful; but some day, surely, the fool-proof plane, will b~ : > everyday reality. FIND THE GUILTY ONE. JV/JL’GII HAS BEEN SAID and written about the murder charge against 15 strikers in connection with the killing of Chief Aderholt, at Gastonia, and the importance of the case has been fully stressed. It is agreed that the indictfd men should be tried for their acts and not their opinions and every effort should be made to give them a fair and impar tial trial, but there is the outstanding fact that somebody murderously assaulted an officer of the law and that some body should be punished. A change of venue or a jury from another county nQt so inflamed and prejudiced in the case is the proper course. We hope this jury will find the guilty ones and that theit guilt be established beyond a shadow of doubt, and on the other hand all innocent parties should be exonerated. Much has been said in the discussion of the case in the name of free speech, religious freedom and right of assem blage and very little has been said in condemnation of com muni-m and disrespect for law and order. TRYING THE NEW BALLOT. gHELBY HAD ITS FIRST experience with the newly en acted Australian Ballot law passed by the last General Assembly and those who favor clean elections were very favorably impressed. In this election there was no great division on the question at stake but in the primaries and general elections when personal workers are busy, it will he difficult to keep the spirit of the law. It should be kept, however, at all costs, for it is designed to bring about the un biased rule of the people. As a voter approaches the election officials, he or she is given a ticket after the voter’s name has been found in due form on the registration books. This ballot has a stub on one end. The voter is permitted to go to a veiled mark ing booth where ihe ticket is marked in secret. Instructors on how to mark are available for the asking. After the ticket is marked, the stub is torn off and deposited in one box. while the ticket is deposited in another. The stubs and the ballots must check as to number which insures no “stuff ing." When the system is familiar to the voters, it will be very simple and easy. Certainly it will be more satisfac tory than the old system. In elections where there are several thousand voters, some provision will have to tv ma V to has ten along the balloting. GIVING ’EM WHAT THEY WANT. THOSE OFPOSED to Cleveland county having a farm agent have had a greater say in the columns of The Star than those in favor of continuing the work. Wile there is opposition to the three county agents, namely, the welfare officer, the home and farm agents, The Star believes there are thousands on the other hand who have realized a benefit, directly or indirectly. The purpose of the discussion of the county agents, has been to ascertain the will of the ma jority of the tax payers. The county commission rs who are the representatives of the citizens, are always anxious to do what the majority want and what is for their best interest. The communication from Fallston this week from Mr. W. A. Gantt, does not ask that the farm agency work in the county be suspended. It gives a report of what farmers it has benefited and the majority say none. Mr. Hardin, who recently resigned, brought criticism against the office be cause he could not be found in the office. The office is no place for him to do his most work. He should have had on his door, however, a note showing when he was in and where he was when away. There are approximately 4,500 farmers in Cleveland and it is impossible to see them all. An agent, leading them collectively, sponsoring movements for better farming and marketing, would be worth the cost of $1,500 to the county. We fear that many tax payers are of the opinion that to save the cost of a farm agent would reduce taxes. To cut $1,500 from the half million dollars necessary to operate the county government would not be reflected in a tax reduc tion. Bigger savings must be affected to cut a figure in taxes. Where that could be made, students of finance and government are unable to find. Perhaps there might be aomebody in a great county like Cleveland with 40.000 peo pie who might go gunning for bears and tigers rather than I sparrows. The people should have w hat the majority want. THE CURSE OF MISPELLED WORDS. |T IS A NUMBER of years since the craze for simplified 1 spelling swept the land. It has largely died down now; but. in its place, there has come a much less likable dscend ant—the vogue for misspelling words in display advertis ments. Charles Hanson Towne, in the current Harper’s Bazaar, considers this tendency and does not like it. Sarcastically, he suggests that congress pass a law providing 10 years in jail and a .$10,000 fine for anyone who misspells a word on an electric sign, billboard or street car placard. “Stepping down the Street the other evening,” lie writes, “1 was dismayed at the number of words I found it difficult lo read. It was as though I were in a foreign country. Thea ter managers sought to lure me in to seevodvil’ and ‘bur lcsk.’ 1 felt that the performances woultf be as discreditable as the words over the entrances of these palaces of art. “Before another palat e I was confounded by a sign which told the world that there would be a good show 'tonite.’ Once in motoring I had seen a sign insisting that if one wished to reach a certain town one should turn to the ‘rite.’ Then Towne mentions those familiar signs that recom mend “made-rite furniture,” “uwanna this” and ‘'iwanna that," "kollgge klothos," and so on. These move him to grind his teeth in rage; and he goes on to consider “other abomi nations,” which, he says, are on display in every town. “A restaurant,” he writes “will brazenly announce 'eats.’ And lunchonette—a dire word itself—I have seen abbreviat ed into ‘lunchette.’ Nor does ‘tas-tee’ candy seem more tasty because the word has been distorted out of all resemblance to itself. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any relief in sight. Some people will continue to consider that kind of spelling attractive—just as some shop keepers persist in call ing their places “shoppes.” WHEN HISTORY IS REWRITTEN. |F WORLD HISTORY is ever rewritten on a common sense 1 basis, it will be possible for us to learn much more easily than we can at present just who the great benfactors of the race have been. We will lose much of our admiration for the kings, soldirs and statesmen who now crowd history’s pages, and shift it to the shoulders of men who are at present al most ignored. For instance—did you ever hear of Ambroise Fare? Probably not; yet all of us are deeply in his debt, and our descendants will be to the end of time. Pare, born the son of a poor box-maker in an obscure French village in 1510 did much to lift the profession of sur gery above its low medieval levels and make of it a science. His discoveries advanced the practice of medicine enormous ly—so that the medical care we get today is far better than it would have been if he had never lived. Beause of his humble birth and his lack of a formal education. Pare had to get most of his experience as an army doctor. An army doctor in time of war, then as now, got plenty of practice; and Pare soon became known from one end of France to the other for his skill in treating wounds. At that time it was thought that a gunshot wound was necessarily poisoned, and that if boiling oil were not pourec on it the patient would surely die. This, naturally, made the wounded soldier’s lot a fearful one—until Pare came along and discovered that the theory was false, and that a simple haling salve would do such a wound far more good and cause infinitely less pain. Parc also discovered tha in making an operation the se vered arteries could be tied with fine threads to prevent henr mdrhages. Before that, surgeons had always used boiling oil for the purpose—a method that made an amputation such a risky operation that few patients survived it. Naturally, Pare was heaped with honors by his king and country. Yet history has practically ignored him; instead, it tells us' all about the king he served, who never did a tenth as much for the race! 5,000 Homes Receive The Star Every Other Day—Mr. Merchant Get Jtfour Message To The Home Through The Star—You Will Get Results That Will Satisfy. •'CONTENT'' j i Bv Moyrt Mauney.l The evening shadow.*-, gathrr around Caressing the brow of the earth, Bringing peace and freedom from toll, Ang giving the dark it* birth: The gentle breezes caper about, And fan the tired worn brow.
