CHARLOTTE. y. G. September "a,
Rev Willis j. Jordon. Columbus,
Ga. minister. will be brought to Char
lotte from Grand Rapids, Mich, to
/. face charge of bigamy.
This was esta blished definitely to-
day. when Sheriff John Irwin. acting
on a promise by Solicitor John q.
Carpenter that the State would bear
the expense of returning the prisoner.
sent Deputy Sheriff Avery j. John
son to Grand Rapids to get Jordon.
johnson is expected 10 return with
his prisoner Tuesday or Wednesday,
a Fund Shortage Feared.
For a time today it appeared that
there might be a possibility that Jor-
don would escape prosecution through
lack of funds. While Solicitor Car
renter had assured the sheriff the
state would guarantee his expense.
The sheriff took up the matter with
the county attorney and the county
commission.
The attorney for the commission adj
nised that body that there were no
funds available for appropriation for
such expenses and that an appropri-
alton would be illegal. The sheriff
said that unless funds were forthcom-
{ ing he would not send for Iordon.
=, This afternoon the sheriff received
further word from the solicitor and
sent Johnson to Grand Rapids.
VIII Return Voluntarily.
Word came from Raleigh that no
requlsition papers HAD been asked
for Jordon and that until such re-
quest was received the State would
lake no steps to return Jordon. The
fact that requisition papers were not
asked was explained late today when
1T was learned the minister has
stated he will return voluntarily.

might just when Jordon will be
brought to trial. Nor could they say
how many of his alleged wives would

was reported kidnapped, which result
ed in charges being preferred against
him by Mecklenburg officials. Sheriff
Irwin swore out the warrant for Jor-
don on the basis of Geographic adj

What Jordon's defense to the
charges may be seemed doubtful!

Rapids indicated that he may claim
he was a victim Of amnesia and that

Results Of Railway Efficiency

For the first time since the passage
Of the Transportation act of 1920, the
annual net income Of the railroads has
exceeded the level of 5.75 per cent
of the value of railway properties
Professionally fixed by the interstate
commerce commission, according to
the current issue Of the Guaranty
Survey, published by the Guaranty
Trust company of New York.
On the basis of actual property in
vestment, as shown by the carriers
books, last years earnings provided
a return Of 5.13 per cent, which COM
pares with 4.85 per cent a year earlier
and is the highest return earned since
the war, although it compares only
moderately well with the returns for
the more prosperous = e-war years.
1t is generally agreed, the Survey
continues, that the remarkable. in
crease in railway efficiency since the
return of the carriers to private man
agement following the war has pro-
foundry affected the entire course Of
business in this country during recent
years. While the extent of such an
influence is not susceptible of def
mite measurement, in this case there
can be no doubt that it is enormous.
The prOmptness and reliability Of
railway service have made possible
the revolution in merchandising meth
DDS that is commonly known as the
"hand-tO-mOuth" buying movement.
Under this system goods have been
ordered for prompt delivery and quick
sale, with full confidence that the
rate Of turnover would not be retard-
ed by serious transit delays. Mer-
camille inventories have thus been
greatly reduced, and the amount of
capital necessary to finance a given
volume of trade has become CORES
pondingly less.
The immediate outlook for the rail
roads is favorable in most respects.
Traffic this year may be in somewhat
smaller volume than in 1926, but it j.

I. H. Sears, Business Manager

a lazy man loathed the task of helping to lift
crushingly heavy stone and timber. So he thought
out the pulley. Laziness had scored again.
$50 it was when the lazy load-bearer trained a
horse or a donkey to bear him comfortably from
place to place, because it was too much bother
for a lazy man to do so much walking.
"DOwn the centuries, the Onerous tasks of man.
kind have been solved, one by one, through a
lazy wish to make work easier, until at last the
world was honest enough to speak of such efforts
as 1abor-saving' contrivances and to offer high
rewards to their makers. In brief, while hard
manual labor continues to earn low wages, wealth
and honor wait for the lazy man who can discount
that labor"
With intellectual fear and trembling, but never
theless with firm conviction we venture to declare
that we do not believe Mr.. Terhune's premise is
correct. 1t is plausible, and may appeal to one
too "lazy" to think, but to us it does not sound
like truth. Any sincere student of philosophy,
of psychology, of history, would reject it instantly.
In short, Mr.. Terhune's contention is that all
of the heart-breaking struggles, all of the glorious
achievements of mankind from the dawn of civil
cation to the present day are the result of one of
the most unadmired of mans characteristics. Men,
as animals, are lazy. But men, as beings endowed
with spiritual attributes, are not. On the con-
trary, they are ever active, alive, energetic, am
bilious, always looking to the future and anxious
to make the world a better place in which to live,
not only for themselves but for their fellow men
and their posterity.
Perhaps it is because our pride in mankind has
been pricked by Mr.. Terhune's caustic philosophy
that we venture to dispute him. We believe that
"the onerous tasks of mankind have been solved
not because man is inherently "lazy," but in spite
of the fact. We believe thatfnan, iI %ipctI%E e e
at all times acoAScfOusIy feaIizing that he was
brought into the world to improve it and con-
tribute to its progress, has devoted his thought,
his time, and his effort to invention with a nobler
motive than animal selfishness.
1t is easier, because it comedies with the line
of least resistance, to attribute ignoble motives
to mans efforts. But it is far more accurate,
more in accord with history, more in keeping with
the higher characteristics of humanity, to recog-
nize the unselfish, spiritual motives that have,
and are now, squirting the races. to prOdigies of
endeavOr. And the greatest of those motives is
the redemption of the world.

NOW FOR AN AGREEMENT

The st. Lawrence seaway will require six years
for the building, and an agreement between the
two nations is first necessary. With the engin-
eering and economic facts now at hand, the presi-
dent has all the information necessary for the
drafting of such an understanding.
The treaty of 1871 between the United States
and Great Britain clearly defines the common
right of both nations to use the st. Lawrence and
the Great Lakes from their solrce to the sea for
navigation purposes. No territorial rights or
privileges are involved in th drafting of the
agreement now before us. Only three things
remain to be settled: What pln shall be adopted?
How shall the money be raisd? How shall the
work of construction be supervised?
These are all matters of dtaiI. IF an agree
ment on these points is reaced this summer. a
treaty can be approved by be senate and the
Canadian parliament next winer, construction can
be begun in 1928, and the seaay can be finished
in 1894.
An international agreeme1 is the next move.

A DIFFERENT MOTIVE

"The worlds progress is due TO ~lsziness rather
than to applied industry" is the so-called start
ling" fact advanced by Albert Payson Terhune,
the well known author, in an article in the April
issue of the American Magazine.
Long ago armies of men rolled cumbrous logs
and rocks from the forest to build their homes"
Mr.. Terhune explains. Some lazy fellow hated
the backbreaking job so much that he set out
to devise an easier way to get it done. Probably
the rolling gave him his idea. He found circular
sections Of logs and bored holes through their
centers. In a trice, the first wheel was made and
thereby human effort was cut down so per cent.
