Frank A. Munsey, as Toast
master, Deplores a General
Aversion to Work.
SCHWAB ASKS LIBERTY
Government Prone to Kill In
dividual Incentive by Laws
and Taxes.

Industrial and political ills that now
beset America were arraigned and
prescribed for last night at the nine
teenth annual dinner of the Maine
Society of New York Nearly 500 men
and women attended the affair. which
was held in Delmonico's The speak
ers were Senator William E. Borah,
Charles NJ. Schwab, Augustus Thomas
and Frank A. Munsey.
Mr.. Munsey, acting as postmaster,
started the discussion by declaring
that the growing aversion to work
this country is manifesting is the
cardinal reason for many of our cur
rent shortcomings. Mr.. Schwab fol-
lowed by saying that an unwarranted
distrust in men who have progressed
to high commercial and industrial
seats by dint of their own initiative
and energy contributes largely to the
present conditions.
Mr.. Schwab went on to say that in
centive to individual effort has become
Puliy lif CtildIl pldCeS anu InaL the
Government is contributing to the
discouraged attitude many men are
taking. He declared himself out of
sympathy with laws that said to a
man he must pay to the Government
in taxes all the profits his Individual
efforts and ability have won for him.
And then, Mr.. Schwab scored Con-
gressmen who are afraid of the word
subsidy" He said our merchant ma
rine would be theory merely until
the Government adopts measures OF
ship subsidy.
The dinner was, probably one of the
most important and impressive the So
ciety ever has held. At the speakers
table. in addition to the men above
named. were Gen. Guy f. Tripp. J.
Leonard Replogle. Col. James e. Mac
Lean. Cyrus II. X. Curtis, Edward c.
Delafield, Darwin Z. Kingsley, Otto H.
Kahn. Charles A. Coffin, a. c. Bedford
r. A. Day, the Rev. DIR. S. Delaney
Townsend and Edward p. Mitchell.
Places for former Gov. Alfred Il. Smith
and Morgan j. O'Brien were reserved at
the principal table, inasmuch as they
had sent notices they would appear later
I'm the evening.

schwab,s Boyheod Castles.

GAS a boy, forty years ago." said Mr..
Schwab. 81 built castles of imagination
of Industrial life; of possible endeavors
OF the future and OF human efforts in
the realm of industry.
"But i never dreamed of the reality
that have seen. The greatest vision
airy. the greatest poet could not have
conceived of the reality of to-day. In
steel. for instance, forty years ago "A few
thousand tons were produced annually.
Now We produce $4,000. 900 tons an
nualy. Why this growth?
simple because there was n great
reward for personal initiative given men.
Men went ahead building up industry
and making money, which they would
put back into industry again.
"Those earnings rolled up like a great
snow ball. The men who had begun to
make money made more money and
more. The thing extended and extended.
But this far seeing Government of
not belong to the man who made II but
to the Government. And the Government
said that this money must be paid back
to the Government I'm taxes.
II tell you that no Government can
ever succeed under that system. No in
dustry can advance far and no man can
go forward under those conditions To-
day no man can go ahead as those men
did in the past"
Here Mr. Schwab declared that along
9th initiative and incentive had gone
the old fashioned confidence that per-
mitted men to work in comfort and con-
tentment.
Speaking for myself" went on Mr..
Schwab. 'I could triple my own income
simply by retiring from all my activities
IN industry and investing my money in
non-taxable securities. Business In this
country will not revive until business in
other countries has revived.
You may look at New York Harbor.
We have. floating In that harbor. ten or
fifteen million tons OF ships that will
never be of any use to VS. so long - they
are regulated or owned by the United
states Government. our merchant marine
will not be great until there Is a Gov
ernment subsidy Of some sort. There
are our representatives in Congress who
are afraid Of the word subsidy j am

Plea for Education.

Senator Borah. dealing with the Wash
ington conference, said that behind the
subject OF limitation of armament was
that of education.
'Battleships that are obsolete or OBJ
solescent are being scrapped." he said,
but the weapons that the next war will
be fought with are not considered-ths
submarines. poison gas and bombing air.
planes. The prize at stake is civiliza-
ton itself. Treaties will not suffice, laws
viii not aid. leagues will snap at the
first strain of war. We must so deeper
and build fiTmer. We must uneducate
people of the belief that force is the
only power on earth. Unless we fight
this idea we will return to barbarism and
the dark ages"
Senator Borah said he was not in
favor of the United States alone disarm-
ing but he was certain that the masses
of Europe and England and Japan and
the world felt precisely as do the people
of the United States and favored an end
OF war and arms.

MANY STATE PAPERS
INCREASING SIZE AND
ADDING NEW EQUIPMENT

Tallahassee, Nov. 1.-THE ITALIA
hassee Democrat has joined the half
dozen or more Florida daily papers
which in the last few months have
been forced to increase their facili-
ties in order to handle their rapidly
growing business. The Orlando Sen
tinel recently had to install a new
press and increase the number of
columns in the paper, the Gainesville
Sun is planning to increase its size
after having been issued in six col
umns for forty-four years, the Fort
Myers Press has completed arrange.
ments for the reorganization of the
paper and extension of it plant, the
st. Petersburg Independent and
Clearwater Sun have installed new
presses and made other improve
ments. Other dailies have purchased
new equipment, including typesetting
machines, and are increasing the size
OF the papers but in the case of the
Democrat, the news. department has
been run out of house and home.
The Democrat has had to obtain
other quarters for the news depart
ment, the mechanical department re-
quiring all space in the building
which for some years has housed all
it's departments. The space in the
building opposite the Leon hotel, for
merly occupied by H. H. Brown, has
been leased and Frank Webb, news
editer and his assistants, will move
in, handling at that end all news to
be published in the Democrat. 1t is
believed here that the Democrat will
be the only daily in Florida with the
news department not in the same
building with the mechanical depart
ment.

barely a hundred words. The

The Senate Wednesday con-

strictly on party Ines; and de-
feated the bill to reduce the per-
sonal property exemption from
$500 to 500.
Already over $50 bills have
been introduced, and more each
day. Senator Varser, of Robe

the open season for hunting
quail in Robson, claiming that
the birds eat boil weevil. A bill
has been introduced that would
change the speed limit to 80
miles instead of Is on country

Can't. rentOn in Town.

Capt E. F. Fenton spent couple
of days in Rockingham last week,
returning to Wadesboro the middle
OF the week. The captain is in fair
ly good health. He was born March
II, 1910, and so is in his SEND year.
He entered the Confederate service
from Arson county as member OF
the Arson Guards, the first company
to offer its services to Governor
Ellis and the first in the State to be
accepted. The company was in the
original 4th regiment, but the num-
bers were later changed so that it
was known as the 14th regiment.
He lost his left arm on May 5, 1868,
at the terrible battle at Chancellors-
Vile, Va, at which time he was a
sergeant. His friends here in Rock
ingham hope he will be spared for
many years yet of health and hap
piness.

ENOUGH whiskey is no doubt

doubly worse. For some time
Sheriff Mcdonald has been given

mined to go at the seat of the
manufacture. He had reason to
believe it was being made be-

Sheriff, and by appointment he
with the Arson officers, and

A recent decision by the
United States Supreme Court will
just about eliminate picketing as
a legal means of prosecuting a
strike. That tribunal holds that
picketing is illegal in cases where
it can be shown there is intimida-

will be far-reaching, and it will
render the strike less effective.
