that many Of the people there sud-
denly acquire a wealth and fame so
novel and sudden that they are
wrecked by it. Isn't that diagnosis
about the right one for the whole
country? A sudden opportunity to
crafty whims. pleasures and variety
has been trust upon millions who
have not the background 70 support
their new requirements. This does
not mean that all these millions have
acquired wealth or fame. 1t means
that scores of the new phases of life
have suddenly become an everyday
matter by reason of economic and
social changes, and the development
of character and stability have not
kept pace. These are brought by time
and patience and training, which are
lacking. The actions Of the newly

THE REJECTED STONE

President Harding's speech, deliv-
e,ed TO the senate when he presented
the treaties just negotiated by the
disarmament conference, IS interest
ing President Harding is an amiable
man who wishes to see good every
where provided it can come through
regular party channels. This paper
believes that the conference called
by Mr.. Harding has accomplished
great things and will be Of lasting
benefit 10 mankind. But it has little
respect for the thimble ringing SEN
ators who will swallow it with gusto
when they trampled under foot with
insult and meanness similar effort
bv Mr.. Wilson. The League pro-
nosed and worked out with such in
finite toll by Mr.. Wilson was based
upon the idea of peaceful co-opera-
tion of the nations, and that Is Just
what Mr.. Harding's treaties are, ex-
cept upon a smaller scale. 1t may DC
better to start on this smaller scale;
we don't know. No great idea springs
full developed upon the world at once.
But for the failure of Mr.. Wilson's
league Mr.. Harding's work would not
have been possible. Mr.. Wilson ac-
eustomed the world to thinking of
the idea and it was easy for Mr..
Harding to grasp the opportunity to
do what he has done The fact that
he did it was proof that he knew
that after the country had gotten
over the spasm of fanaticism which
caused the League to be rejected it
would still want something like the
League proposed. The senate re-
jcted the League for political pur-
poses and now they accept its very
corner stone.

CLIPPINGS

Run through this issue of the paper
or any other issue, and note what a
wide variety of topics are treated
This is outside of what may be term
Cd the regular news matter of the
paper. You will see that nearly any
and every phase of life is touched
upon in one way or another.
What would you put in the paper
if you were doing the selecting? You
perhaps cannot answer off hand, and
if you did you would likely find on
trying it that unsuspected difficulties
would be encountered. Whose taste
would you consult, yours or that of
your readers? If the latter, how
would you know what they were?
The late J. G. Boylin, long editor
of the Wadesboro Messenger and In
telligencer, used to say that the Sc
lection of good clippings for the pa
per was the most difficult task. and
one of the most important. He laid
great stress on the matter and he
always had good paper,
And where would you so to find
them? You might search diligently
through a whole pile of newspaper
and not find one thing that you
thought suitable, and you'd probably
be right. When it comes to select
ing good clippings a lot of grise has
to come to mill to turn out a little
iour-if it is to be good flour.
And all this rambling talk was
caused by that gem of piece taken
from the Concord Observer, Old Man
Ed Kistler's paper. This is a very
modest little paper and so poorly
printed that you can scarcely make
out the words and we nosed through
it many weeks before finding a time
when the old man had put on his
writing clothes and went at it like
he did in this piece. Clippings? You
will never know where you'll find
them till you look.

rs MOVIE LAND TYPICAL?

When DR.. Eaton spoke here the
other night he said that the greatest
need of this country is intelligence
and character. He made the same
speech in the other towns in this Sec
ton and we notice that the papers
reporting it say that he declared the
great need of the country was in
tell:gence and education. This was no
doubt an error in reporting. DR..
Eaton's contention is that intelligence
and character are what is needed.
So-called education-the mere accu-
mutation Of information-is the very
field in which DR.. Eaton found one Of
the difficulties Of the country. And
because the requirement of learning
is so often mistaken for real educa-
ton, we are all the time asking if
education is the good thing that we
suppose il to be. There is a vast
difference between learn ng and char
acter. There is vast difference be-
tween intelligence and character. But
il takes both character and intelli-
gence to comprise education. Our fa-
eilities for the spread of intelligence
and the accumulation Of learning have
outstripped our facilities for the de-
velopment of character and there is
the source of much of the trouble of
modern life.
In another place in the paper is
story about the moving picture work
srs who live out near Los Angeles
and an explanation Of why so many
scandals seem to originate there. The

WHY DON'T THEY STOP

In his very earnest plea against
the use of tobacco, Rev. Mr.. Huggins
SAYS that he cannot understand why
people will use tobacco when every
one knows that he would be better off
without it. Mr.. Huggins need not be
puzzled, for no one else understands
il any better than he does. II we
were all as devoted to what we know
tc be the best for US as Mr.. Higgins
himself is there would be no trouble,
but We are not.
We are all wonderfully and fear
fully made and with many moods.
For instance, here is Rev. Mr.. Hug
gins, a faithful student of the seri-
Gus things of life, unable to under
stand why any one will use tobacco,
while his brother Luther, of The
Journal staff, has to have his pipe
going like a steam engine while he
writes the good stories that appear
in each issue. He thinks it helps
him. May be it doesn't. There used
to be a prevalent idea among the
lawyers and politicians that one had
TO have a drink to make him speak
well. But they don't believe it now,
And we have an idea that the words
"booze fighter" originated among the
printers and editors. May be the use
of tobacco will take the same course.
But some of us rather enjoy hav-
ing a besetting sin. The late H. B.
Adams of Monroe enjoyed good
cigar. and he was fond Of telling this
story. He was walking on the street
one day when an ardent opponent of
the use of tobacco Stopped him.
LOCKER here" said the stranger,
don't you know that you will spend
enough money for cigars in life
time to build brownstone house,"
"No,' said Mr.. Adams, 81 didn't.
By the way, do you smoker"
"Neverl"
"Then," said Mr.. Adams, where is
your brownstone house?"

Unlucky Coincidence

And here's one about the Quaker
whose patriotism got the better Of his
religious scruples and who went to
war. Crawling through No Mans
Land he spied husky German
Raising his rifle to his shoulder, he

Friend, 'tis most unfortunate for
thee, but thee standeth just where |
am going to shoot" 81

THE CURE FOR PASTY FACE

What is pasty-face? Whatever il
is there is a sure cure for it and
they have it up in Philadelphia. We
have the same remedy down here and
il is good for other things besides
pas.y-face. 1t cures feeble minded
ness. 1t wipes cut ignorance. 1t cor
reefs wfulness that has grown into
something worse. 1t teaches sense to
the poor fool who has not enough to
behave himself. 1t cures defects in
early training and environment. And
il also gives many Of US who COM
pose the honorable state the salts
faction of knowing that we have
done our christian duty. 1t is a sure
remedy, true and tried, for has it
not been brought down from the most
ancient days of barbarism, nay even
further back than that, from the
days of savagery itself? Not caring
20 take the trouble to find any other
remedy we hold to this one with the
,apaticism which is always sure in
dication of error. But what is this
great remedy? Let the Philadelphia
Public Ledger tell about it:
"A pasty-faced boy of nineteen,
showing no sign of emotion other
than the twitching of his fingers that
held his cap, was sentenced to die in
the electric chair by Judge Rogers
yesterday.
ut was Harry Lessner, of 531 Tree
stree., who accepted his fact so stoic-
ally, and he is the youngest murderer
to be sentenced to death in the men,
ory of the oldest attaches Of the Phil
adelphia courts.
when asked if he wished to say
anything before the imposition of
sentence, Lessner replied in a faint
tone
:" Il didn't mean to kill any one"
They surely will fix this pasty-face.
They will first put a gssd rich red
:1lor, produced by bursting veins,
INTO this weak and ignorant face, and
this in turn will give way to grin
mig bones. The boy, igsWsat, mean
and vile, no doubt, went with a man
of thirty to rob store, and becom-
ing frightened, ran and fred a re-
volver and killed a passer-by. One
GOOD turn always deserves another,
SO the state will kill him, by way of
restoring life to Mr.. RabiAowitz, who
was the unfortunate passer-by. They
could not take that boy out Of per-
haps the dog hole in which he had
been born and reared and put him in
prison and make something out of
him. Why? Because that would lead
all the balance of US at once to get
pistols and go out and slay. 1t Would
never do. We should all be killed
and none Of US would have any re-
yense.

Democratic Candidate for the
Nomination as Solicitor of
Thirteenth N. c. Ju-
dicial District
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Scotland County
Ofice of Superintendent

Laurinburg, N. c., Jan. 2, 1922.
We, the members of the Board Of
Education of Scotland county, having
known G.. H. Russell for rs years,
during five years of which time he
was County Superintendent of Schools
of this county, welcome the opportun-
ity to endorse his candidacy for the
Solicitorship of this District. We feel
that the progress of the schools in
this county is due as much to his
efforts as to any other one man. His
enthusiastic public spirit while su-
perintendent was contagious, and the
movements he started are still gath
ering momentum. Absolutely unself-
ish, he has never spared himself, his
talents nor money where a public
cause was concerned. We still rely
on his professional advice, both peda-
gogical and legal, even though other
public service has called him from
this office. So it gives us pleasure,
personally and officially, to say we
believe in G. H. Russell.

There was no demonstration. The III

TAis is the first outbreak against the

everything has been quiet since.
Eighteen hundred shopmen are on
strike and 1900 engineers, iiremen and

the railroad, but walked out because
they resented working under soldier
protection. They did not like being
challenged by sentries on their wov

machine guns are on guard.
