NOV. 8, 193: -*U» TWINKF.ES About the time the sentimental writers were writ ing obituaries of the Wild West along tamo Mao. i *-• , - Who said yesterday’s election would end an argu ment.of more than a decade? Already today they are till king of.what is to he done next. y Regardless of the ballots east, the weatherman stepped in and made it a rather damp day yesterday in North Carolina. That’s one fellow who doesn't give a hang about public sentiment. WHY NOT? * President Roosevelt's administration is ordering the \ bfg corporations—by big we mean those running into the millions and which dominate what we know as BIG Business—to file reports showing what they pay their big officials and executives. s These firms are bucking, as whs to have been ex pected. Why, they ask, should we fell the government that.? Wherein is the public good to be benefitted? llh’t that our own business and when the government finds out how will it manage to help the masses? In a way it is the business of the government, par ticularly a government of all the people and for all the people. Public welfare tan lie helped by such revela t»ns. Many of these firms, as has already been shown, pay their high powered executives salaries running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. “If.” the big firms ask. “we reduce those salaries, how will that benefit the public?” In two ways, at least. First of all, when executives are paid such immense salaries itj? is only natural that the product or commodity, no matter what it may be, produced by that firm and mar keted will cost the consumer more. It will because the consumer eventually foots the entire bill. Again, ex ecutives who are paid such fabulous salaries get their pajr^romrr the treasury of the firm and when the treas ury is drained in that manner dividends to stockholdores are naturally lowered and the pay of the smaller em ployes. many more in number, is naturally less in order that “the big shots” may get theirs. < Big Business is saying, of course, that the Presi dent has noybusiness butting in their business. But having shown himself to be a President interested in the welfare of all the people, he seems determined to make it his business whether or no. And the masses when they realize the true situation will, or should, be with him to the last ditch. St . ' G : (O.MMENI)AHLK ORPHAN ALE WORK Once or twice a year, when campaigns are on the people of North Carolina hear about the orphanages of the State and the excellent work they are doing in tak ing care of the fatherless and motherless tots, little youngsters who deserve a helping hand if anyone does. Rot in addition to, this information. Dr. Julian .Miller in a recent article in The Charlotte Observer shows that i hie orphanages are not only earing for the youngsters bat are doing so in an economical manner which deserves the commendation of all. “Tie writes: “During the past year there were 7.119 children in the 46 orphanages of the two Carolina* who were main tained, fed, clothed, housed, taught, supervised and abundantly take care of at an average cost of 68 cents per child per day. “Food, the largest single item of expense of these orphans, represented 21 cents per day per child, or seven cents per meal. • “Education came second in costliness, which includ es salaries of teachers and all supplies necessary for the operation of schools, financed by the institution, state, county or city, this entailing' an expenditure of 10 cents per day per child, “Administration expense, including salaries of superintendents and assistants, interest on money bor rowed for opei-ating purposes and office supplies, repre sented nine cents per day per child. “Fuel, light, power, ice, water, upkeep of buildings and grounds and salaries of janitors and building super intendents. cost nine cents per day per child. “The salaries of cottage mothers and other work ers directly in charge of these orphans require eight cents per child per day. “Clothing cost five cents each per day -and nsec* *ary household supplies and expenses, including travel, required the remaining four cents. “These inner facts relating to the orphanage activi ties being conducted in the Carolina* were developed from a scrutiny of the records of the orphan station of the Dyke Endowuienf.” “SPLIT-PARTY" OUTLOOK Even now that the votes have l*een counted in the repeal election, talk continues of a party “split-up" among North Carolina Democrats. Is a new party to emerge by new leaders? Are we to have a prohibition Democratic party and a repeal Democratic party with the Republican party benefitting thereby? Pondering those prospects, The Charlotte Ob server says “Evidently a situation is in course of de development that is going to cause worriment in the camp of the Democrats and merriment in that of the Republicans.” On one side, the dopesters talking the prospects, see Clyde Hoey, Cameron Morrison, Yates Webb and other dry leaders, including many of the old Simmons organization. On the other side, the visionaries picture a leadership from the group including Max Gardner, .Josiah W. Bailey, Robert R. Reynolds, Walter Murphy and others. Frankly, we cannot get. in a sweat over any such thing. Within a few months all party discord will, we believe, wither away. We may be wrong, but that is our opinion. There is a lot of campaign talk which cannot be continued as permanent and dependable. Things are said in the heat of a campaign which are forgotten in the course of time. It has always been so. Cameron Morrison, as we recall, did say something about keeping up the fight. Naturally, both drys and repealists will keep on the alert. Some construed the Morrison statement as meaning he might want to keep lighting to secure command of the Democratic party for the dry forces. But as we remember he is the only one of the dry speakers to take that attitude with any determination. Clyde Hoey didn't. He could see no reason for tearing the party to shreds when many of his present enthusiastic supporters opposed his views in 1928. “If,” as The Observer says, “both sides would lie willing to abide by the voice of the Nation, with the State joined in that voice, then the road ahead in North Carolina would be cleared.” There have been other divisions of sentiment ami other reunions. There will be again, unless we are bad ly fooled. Don’t be a bit surprised if the next election ticket in North Carolina bears the names of dry and repeal Democratic working side by side for the com ing interest of the party. It will be Democrat vs. Re publican with more recent enmities forgotten as an age old partisan feud flames forth once more. WHAT YOU EXPECT OF YOUR NEWSPAPER Here is a bit of reprint from a Minnesota paper whose name has been lost in its travels around over the country We are passing it on to readers at, this time, thinking it a most appropriate occasion: What do you expect from your newspaper? Well, you expect more from your newspaper than you do from any other person or institution t'o which you pay the sum of $6.00 a year, 'i ou expect your newspaper to give you all the news. That's why you pay $6.00 for it, but. You expect your newspaper to take the lead in ad vocating changes for the betterment of the community. You expect your newspaper to expose graft in pub lic affairs, to forestall it by publishing itemized accounts of all public moneys spent. You expect vour newspaper to maintain a high standard of morality supporting things that are right and condemning things that are wrong. You expect your newspaper to maintain a high standard of enterprise, devoting column after column to propaganda, supporting the band, the baseball team, community celebrations, Boy Scouts, high school ath letics, school programs, home talent plays and dozens of such causes and events. i ou expect your newspaper to build up confidence in your home financial institutions and protect home in vestors from making unwise investments of surplus funds, warning against fake salesmen and other finan cial pirates. Von expect' your paper to combat the peddler nui sance. You expect your newspaper to establish friendly contact with the rural readers so as to induce them to make your town their town. You expect your newspajter to give notice of all pub lic meetings, public observances, conventions, etc. You expect your newspaper to urge support of poor relief benefits, Salvation Army drives, Red Cross drives. Christmas Seal drives, Legion and Auxiliary drives, pop py sales, forget-me-not sales, have-a-heart drives, etc. You expect your newspaper to publish church no tices, church programs, club news, farm bureau infor mation, demonstration unit news, market news, weather news, bring you the market reports and cover all doings of the many semi-public organizations. You expect your newspaper to support every meri torious organization effort for the city’s good. The money you, as a subscriber, pay for this paper covers less than one-fourth the cost of publishing the paper. The other three-fourths must he paid by adver I tisers. Since the advertisers pay a large share of the ex penses of publishing your newspaper, don’t you think you owe them the duty to patronize them whenever they offer you equal or better values than non-advertisers? And you, Mr. Advertiser, don’t you think that in view of the many services which the newspaper per forms, for which the newspaper derives no compensa tion, hut which mean more business and more profits to you. the newspaper deserves your advertising business’ Make your community newspaper your advertising med ium and you help build up the community. Send your advertising dollar away from home and you do just "bat you would it l want others to do to "hum you look tor your business. It is just as important that.the ad vertising dollar remains in the community as it is for the grocery dollar and the clothing dollar and the rest of ihe community dollars that make your town prosperous to remain at home.

Now he wears around his wrist a chain and a silver cross which Jean gave him During her illness for the past two days he has kept her room full of flowers and has spent much of his time at her house. With Jean still in her teens and i Tom not much older, parental re actions will have to be reckoned with. By one of those exigencies of cutting. Abe Lyman's lines were all scissored out of "Broadway Through a Keyhole.” As the film stands now, you see him chiefly over Texas Guinan’s shoulder. Which inspired Leonard Gold | stein to send Abe the following ! wire: I “Let. me be the first to congratu ■ late you on bringing bark silent ! pictures," Doris Duke, of the tobacco mil lions, is seeing Hollywood under the guidance of Ruth Selwyn and Mar ian Pascal, close friend of the Sel wyn s and former schoolmate of the Duke heiress, So far the party has ignored the late spots and concen trated on studio visits and upon pri vate social gatherings.

What Beverly Hills stands most in dread took place yesterday be fore the very eyes of the police. (That’s copy). A film child was kidnapped. But it was Baby Le Roy and the scenes were for “Miss Fane’s Baby Is Stolen.” Actually , this youngster is guarded almost as closely as Maria Dietrich. He has his regular bodyguard, a former member of the state highway police, and the man stays -with him all the time. As the youngster is not able to afford the guard himself, the studio pays for his protection. !
