| I am for a clean, healthy, beauti.
full, progressive city in everything
that the words imply, and if I know
myself | am not going to lend my in
f1uence or vote for anything that is
immoral or of hurtful nature, and
this, L am aware, covers a large
scope. doubtless all that any reason
able person could ask or expect.
My aim has been and will ever be
to apply the golden rule as I see it
in city matters, for a more united cit
izenship, because in the union of the
people the greatest strength is de
rived.
The day of autocracy and politi-
cal trickery passed with the great
world war in a large measure and
the people have begun to think,
and as a result demand equal jus
tice to all. The man Tor set of men)
tho attempts to thwaTt justice(is Dig
ging a grave of oblivion for himself.
Partisan politics has no real place
in a city like High Point where our
interests are decidedly mutual-and
as one big family we should all pull
together for our common good and
be especially interested in the upbuild-
ing of our city morally, Internationally
and commercially, and it takes the
combined influence of all citizens to-
get the desired results in the largest
measure, for what helps one, also di-
rectfy or Indirectly helps his neigh
Dor.
We must have an eye single to the
of what all Of us have
helped to create and not let any one,
through autocratic or domineering
manner, pull down what has been built .
up.
Business can succeed only where
kindness is an asset. It is absolutely
for individual or commu-
lity to prosper under oppression and
PARTISAN politics as generally applied
n communities is oppression.
Oppression IS a green-eyed monster
which has destroyed more great and |,
'orthy enterprises, institutions and in
ustries than any other agency known.
t has numerically torn kings and
ueens from their gilded positions Of !
omiannt authority and crucifed more
audable undertakings in their con-
option than all other agencies COM
ined.
The need of today is a closer union :
etween the people, broader broth {
rhood of mankind, in other words =
Of interests, void of selfish :
ess and personal or ulteriOr motives. !
10 great undertaking can be accom- !
lished without this cooperation.
Another need of today is less osten-
stion, not so much show, and less !
lamour, and to put into practice what l
re preach. We need more sincerity, I
lore loyalty to individual and city
nd more tolerance and kindness to
ne another to make High Point a
logger, better and hapnier city.
[ trust this covers in a general
av some of the thinr4 worth accom- !
fishing. Yours Faithfully.

ucational conditions, especially of the
rural schools, relating TO better or
ganization and administration, more
efficiency in the teaching and better
salaries for the teachers. I ask that
you give careful and sympathetic con-
sidoration 70 his recommendations
His official report. which will be sub
mitted to you, will show a remarkable
progress along educational lines. 1t
will show improved school conditions,
substantial increases in teachers and
the entire state. In this connection,
let me call the attention to state
ments which have appeared from time
to time in regard to the rank and
efficiency Of our school system. l
quote the following from Superinten-
dent Baker:
"In this connection wish to con-
tradict report that is common and
has spread far outside of the state
and resulted in great injury TO Mis-
souri,. namely. that Missouri ranks
thirty second in education among the
statc8 Of the Union. This report was
made by committee of educators
who took the salaries Of county super
mtendents and the salaries of teach
crs, the apportionment OF money
made for school purposes, and a few
other items and averaged them and
! got thirty-two as the result. 1t is my
opinion that the committee never in
tended to say that Missouri ranks
| thirty-secOnd in education.
Missouri, in reality, stands among
| the upper third of the states of the
| Union, having the lowest per cent of
! illiteracy; and literacy in my judg-
ment, should be the test Of all educa-
tional effort. Illiteracy has been de-
! creasing in Missouri for the last thirty
years. The census of 1890 showed
the per cent of illiteracy OF all classes
in Missouri. ten years of age and over,
to be e1. In 1900. ten years later,
this had been decreased to ca. In
1910 the per cent of illiteracy was
4.3, and when the census of 1920 has
been taken the state will have a much
lower percentage Of iliteracy than at
present.
"'If we wish to make a comparison
with some of the other states Of the
Union, we will find that in the North
Atlantic division of states. comprising
Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont
Massachusetts,. Rhode Island. Con-
necticut. New York. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, that only Maine with
Al per cent of illiteracy, and Yer.
mont, with 81 are lower than Mis-
souri,"

In 1854 John S. Marmaduke, born
in Saline county. Missouri, became
governor thr ough the grace and po-
litical strength of the democratic
party. He was the son Of NJ. NJ.
Marmadukc. elected lieutenant-gover-
nor in lS42, who became governor of
Missouri in 1S4i through the sad and
sudden trasical end of Thomas B.
Reynolds.
Other natives of Missouri who be-
came governor. besides Hyde and the
others enumerated, were: Lon V.
stephens As90; Alexander M. Dock
cry, 1900. and Elliott W. Major, 1912.
Kentucky was the birthplace for ten
governors OF Missouri. Virginia six,
and Tennessee two.
Smith Named Executive Clerk
One OF the early appointments OF
Governor Hyde was the naming of
william d. Smith of Carrollton. for
merly of Princeton. as his chief ex-
ecutive clerk, a position which pays
| $2.4O0 a year. The berth, a very re-
| sponsible one, in the past has always
been a stepping stone in five or six
months to something higher up with
better salary. Speedy promotion to
better berth Is predicted for Smith,
who was an Original Hyde man" and
who as such very materially, before
the August primary, assisted in land
| ing the republican nomination for
Missouri's present governor,
Governor Hyde and Smith have
been intimate friends for years. In
1912 both followed the separate side
path blazed by Roosevelt and became
ardent. untiring Progressives. Smith
was then deputy labor commissioned
in the Hadley administration, but, un-
like Hadley, stuck to Roosevelt until
the end. So did Hyde, who then was
the recognized Roosevelt Progressive
leader of Missouri. Hadley for thret
months was on the fence and ther
tossed his chapeau into the standpa
Taft arena.
In 1915. Governor Major appointed
Smith, whose home then was il
Princeton, a member OF the bi-parti
san Panama Pacific Exposition com
mission TO represent Missouri at thi
san Francisco International event.
Ascendancy of Atkinson

nominee for governor whom Hyde de
feated two months ago, was chic

so that the state could operate the
industries. The farms have. during
the high cost of living period, fed the
inmates to a large extent. besides af
fording the benefit of outdoor life to
the convicts. Operating the indus
tries has enabled us to teach trades
to thousands Of men.
From these statements 1t will be
observed that the industries have
made a net profit OF $350.6Ss.15. after
setting aside a reserve of $50,704.9S.
1t will also be observed that the peni-
tentiary as a whole shows a net profit
to the state above all expenses of
sl35.71s.3l, a record which, l believe,
has never been equalled in this or
any other state. l also call your at
tention to the fact that we have in
addition to investments made by the
state in these reports, purchased farm
lands. machinery and equipment,
