The NeW
Economy!

Economy does not mean mere saving of money. al
though this is essential to success. It means the careful
though this is essential to success. It means the care
full distribution and administration of money, for the
line between saving and administration is very small.
A man may possess all the talents of a money maker
"a store may possess all the requirements of increas-
ing profits and both may fall short of achievement.
Yet the cause is not difficult to fnd-just a little
more care in the distribution of moneys little more
wisdom in knowing how much real value the hard
earned dollar is getting for us-a little more ~insistence
on reasonable prices that merchant and customer may
share equally the benefits of a fair profit- little more
confidence in simple statements of facts, a little more
reliability in the statement of values-al this would
lift the man or the store out of the ordinary and develop
an individuality that would command a Nation wide
assurance of better times.
The J. c. Penney Company set this standard for their
312 stores and are earnestly striving to maintain it.
Before the days Of the advertising message through
the newspapers, our customers carried the message Of
our economy.
1t established the foundation for our progress and
present prosperity. 1t is a new economy on sound
principles-not how much money earned and spent, hut
how much money earned and wisely administered.

A BAD PRECEDENT

The changing of the curb line on
the paved street at Burke and
Church streets, whatever be the ex
PLANTATION, is a break with the pol
icy of the past and a bad proceed
ent, and the action is likely TO
cause trouble in the future unless II
is corrected. The prime purpose IN
the construction of the streets has
been to make a straight curb line;
and to accomplish this trees have
been ruthlessly cut down in all sec
tions, grass plots of varying widths
have been established and old
pavement grades have been ignof
ed leaving pavements above and be-
low the curb level. Nothing in the
past has been permitted to disturb
the running Of the straight street
curb line, which seems proper be-
cause the street line has part in
the general lineup of the city lines
while a pavement width can be var
led without so much harm to the
broader policy. But this policy has
been thrown to the winds in the
Martin-Burke block, the curb lines
varies some inches, is extremely
noticeable looking either from Mar
tin or Burke, makes a bad break in
the lineup of the curbs, makes the
street narrower at Burke than it is
at Martin (and the fact that the
Burke street width is not any more
narrow than the next most narrow
point on the street makes no diff
ference) and is, to be blunt, blot
on the general beauty of the city
streets; and it is indeed bad policy,
it would seem, to permit any consld-
Grafton to break in upon this splen-
did improvement work which has
been in progress

charge will be something less thar

In view of the conflicting stories
that have been given out on the
killing of the two men, it would
seem to be incumbent upon the Off.
Gals of the Mcdowell county to
hold the alleged slayers until the
matter is definitely cleared up. BY
admitting them to bail they have
decided, without any trial, i'll ia
yor of the accused men.
Two widely varying versions of
the killing have been published Ac-
cording to one of these versions,
Hatfield and Chambers were killed
in a duel which they started. Ac.
cording to the other version, their
slayers were waiting for them and
attacked them without warning.
Investigation has shown that
many persons Of good standing are
prepared to justify to the second
version. In fact, it seems to be the
one generally accepted in Welch.
With such situation existing what
possible justification is there for re-
leasing Lively and Pence before they
are tried?

THE HATFIELD SHOOTING
From the ClarkSburq Exponent

1t remains for the courts to ap-
portion the blame for the shooting
ARRAY at WEIGH on Monday which
resulted i'll the death of Sid Hat
field and Ed Chambers on the steps
of the court house in that village.
At this writing there seems to be
some question as to which side
started the firing, and this will be
an important point when the sur
vivors in the battle are put on
trial although it may not provo
conclusive. When a man is shot at
he has a right to shoot back, self
defense being the first law of ma
ture. He may even shoot first if
he be the quicker when he meets a
foe who he knows intends to kill
him then and there if he can pos
sibly Go so.

REFRESHING
1t is refreshing and encouraging
as we'll to have a former citizen,
whose observation Of municipal con-
ditions throughout the country has
been general, to come back to Mar
tinsburg and proclaim publicly, as
Judge Westenhaver did yesterday
before the Rotarians, that the city
is to be commended for it's progress
in the way of civic improvements,
and to say further that what it has
done is a source of pleasure not
only to those who come in from the
outside but ought to be source OF
genuine pride to those Of US who
live here and are supporting the
work. 1t often takes an observation
from the outside to make us rea-
lie our own merits; perhaps no city
is without honor save in it's own
city as has been said OF the pro.

4 BIGGER POLICE FORCE

=
Few will question the accuracy OF
the statement made last night by
Chief Licklider that his police force
is inadequate for the enforcement
Of all the laws which are assigned
to the department. Fortunately Mar
tinsburg is very orderly commun-
ity and there are no great outbreaks
which require the presence of pol
ice; but at the same time all the
wards have a right to police pat
rolls, whether the police arrest
dozen persons or not every day.
1t Is admittedly a physical impos-
sibility for two men on a shift to
cover the entire city; the Council
conceded that last night, as it did
also the desirability Of increasing
the force to such an extent that a
patrolman for each ward, day and
night, might be provided. That is
what is meant Fundamentally by pol
ice protection. Police activities are
not to be judged on the basis of the
arrests that are made, but upon the
order which Is maintained; and
elimination of violations through
the presence of officers is, as a
matter of fact, far more to be de-
sired than the arrest of great
number Of persons. The people do
not want to see the police dockets
| filed; they want to see the laws
enforced rigidly and impartially and
all the time, but they are not so
bloodthirsty that they want to see
! their fellow-citizens in the tolls,
One citizen from the suburbs last
| night asked for police patrol;
another asked for a traffic officer
and there are many such requests
made outside Of the Council. The
people are entitled, Of course, to
such protection; all help to pay the
salaries Of the officers, all are in
the City and all are entitled to at
tention.
The chief, and probably the sole
obstacle in the way OF the provis
ion OF such police force at pres
ent is the lack of money, it Is indi
Gated In some wards the strict en-
forcement OF the traffic and water
laws would probably earn the sal
aries of the policemen stationed
there,-it probably would not take
more than a day because speeding
and violations of other traffic rules
and waste of water, are known to
exist generally. If the men could
earn their own salaries, the finan,
cial objection seems to be remov
ed We believe the Council wants
to take care of this matter in the
way the chief suggests, and awaits
only the time when it feels it will
be justified; and on the other hand
