entering the home of a sleeping fam
lily of his own color at night through
a window and stealing a pair of shoes,
which under the North Carolina stat
utes constitutes first degree burglary.
Sentiment in the state is obviously
divided on the question of imposing the
death penalty for entering a home at
night, but I believe the prevailing opin-
ion, if expressed, would be found in ia
0 of a revision of the law, changing
the penalty for such an offense to life
imprisonment in cases where no per-
sonal injury is perpetrated or attempt
ed. Entering a home at night, while
the occupants are asleep, is admitted
1y a grave crime and should be Sc
verely punished, but / believe major
ity sentiment would regard life i'm
prisonment as sufficient.

SANTA CLAUS, IND.

The village of Santa Claus in the state of
Indiana is not for nothing but its name. And
now the Postoffice Department is talking
about taking away its name; or of changing
the name of its postoffice, which amounts to
the same thing.
Santa Clause, one is told, has 800 population,
and of this total 600 are strongly opposed to
any change of name for either town or post
office. Our nation stands committed to the
principle of self-determination for European
lands. Shall the principle be waste-basketed
when an American community seeks to apply
it? Shall the Santa Claus postoffice have its
name changed to "Hooverdale, or "Prosper-
itydale" Or something equally distasteful to
the population?
The Postoffice Department is peevish be-
cause an advertising concern planned to send
its Christmas mail from Santa Claus and then
changed its mind. Washington had provided
an extra force to take care of the expected
business and the business did not materialize.
Well, it WASH t. the fault of Santa Claus, and
Santa Claus should not be punished for it.
The name chosen by the revered founders of
the village and held in approval by the pres
ent population should not be endangered by
postoffice peevishness.
Santa Claus, Ind, should become more and
more an American institution. We have count
less swarms of hamlets with ugly and tawdry
names; let us preserve and protect this one
name that is a joy.

OUR DEITY

To the Editor:
Christ has another birthday. Chris
tianity-another year older; and with
age grows wisdom. Christianity (and
we only know it by how it is prac-
ticed) is the one and only ever-last-
ing, soul-saving, last expedient Belief
Of man, the alpha and omega.
In Christ's name our politicians
swear their oaths of office. Our laws
and Constitution are built upon the
foundations of His name. Well, what
have we? Crime, an organized indus
try second to zone. Once crime was
confined to petty thievery and muir
der primarily. Now it is political n.y.
pocrisy executed on the grand scale
of misrepresentation and graft. The
feudal kings were beggars compared
to those who head our Government,
our creed and our banks.
Christ is only a name, but gold is
our deity. LAUGHTER.

To the Editor:
The economic news of the past
week discloses that a bandit held up
a pedestrian and stole his victims
false teeth. Another bandit forcibly
undressed an actor on a public high
way and relieved him of his pants.
The bandit who stole the false
teeth may have believed that his vic
tim would have no further use for
them during the present Hoover Ad-
mlnlstration. Criminologists should
decide whether it be a crime to take
from a man something that he has
no further use for and which cannot
be otherwise disposed of. Theologians
should finally fix the degree of ''mor-
al responsibility" if any. In case of
disagreement, the public could still
be protected by Furnishing the bandits
tor Practicing dentistry without a Ii
cense.
In the case of the bandit who stole
the actors pants, it may develop that
he was an under-cover agent working
tor the Government and engaged in
introducing the new style for men in
case Mr.. Hoover is reelected. Modesty
forbids further public discussion of
this interesting but embarrassing pub
lie question.

THE WASHINGTON BICENTENNIAL

Two hundreds years ago next month, on
February II, 1892, a son was born to Angus
tine Washington, a prosperous planter of
Wakefield, 'Westmoreland County, Virginia.
This year we are celebrating the two hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of George
Washington. Because the calendar system of
the English-speaking world was changed in
1856, by dropping eleven days, we now cele-
brate Washington's birthday on February
22nd instead of February 18th.
But this whole year will be given over to
c~ommemorating the Father of this country.
Everybody who can possibly afford to do so
ought to make a visit to the city of Washing
ton, and the nearby home Of George Wash
ington, Mt. Vernon, as we'll as to his birthplace
farther down the Potomac f1vc1, at Some time
or other during the year. 1t is our feeling that
no true American can really get the spirit of
America without visiting our national capital
and seeing the historic mementos of the great
leader who made our nation possible.
The very cothes that Washington wore are
on exhibition in the Nationa Museum in
Washington. In the great memorial building
on Shooters Hill in Alexandria erected by the
Masonic Order as a memorial to Washington,
lldy NC oeeI Ie apron TIC wore anu lS SdVcl
he welded as Master of Friendship Lodge. In
Alexandria still stands the school which he
built and for which he left an endowment in
his will, while the very streets of the city are
a memorial, for he was the young surveyor
who laid them out. St. Johns Church, in which
he was a vestryman, is open to visitors who
are privileged to sit in the pew which Wash
ington occupied, while back from Mt. Vernon
is the little country church at Pohick which
he attended in his earlier years. Mt. Vernon it
self stands almost as Washington left it, with
much of the furniture which he used.
Any time Of the year is a good time to visit
Washington. The city named for the great
revolutionary leader grows more beautiful year
BY year and easier to get to from any part of
the country. Even if you can spare no time
or money for any other holiday in 1882, by all
means we hope every one of our readers will
find a way to pay at least a brief visit to Wash
ington.

LOOKING FOR TIL TURN

With Christmas over and New Year at hand,
the economic prophets turn to their gazing
globes for whatever cheer they may discern.
How much longer is this depression to last?
What will be the first signs of recovery? In
what direction shall we look for the signs?
George Dewloff, Dutch economist, who
forecast worldwide depression a full year be-
fore it set in, predicts its passing before the
end of 1882. Business improvement, he be-
lieves will appear first in the United States
and will then spread to Europe.
One judgment as to this is probably as good
as another. But it must be admitted that time
is now the important factor working for re-
covery; that the, present depression has al
ready outrun the spar allotted the typical re-
action from boom and initiation.
The depression of 1930-31 is likely to be
recorded as the most severe in history, not so
much because of its intensity or its duration
as because of the adjustments it involved. 1t
, came upon us after a protracted period of I'M
precedented prosperity when many were
guided by hopes instead of facts, and when
millions were expecting to make independent
fortunes through speculation.
Of them a large majority were committed
beyond their means. And as prices and incomes
and profits declined the weight of their obi
cations became heavier and heavier. The pro-
cess of adjusting outstanding indebtedness to
current conditions is one of the problems with
which the world is struggling. In both inter
national and domestic transactions the i'm
portance of lifting debt burdens is finally be-
ginning to be recognized. And by one process
and another a great deal in that direction will
be accomplished in 1882. Adjustments are to
come that will make the employment of la
Dor and capital profitable again and the revival
phase of the business cycle will appear.
Talk of complete economic collapse is nom
sense. This nation has so often demonstrated
its capacity to turn its enormously rich re-
sources to advantageous employment that
there can be no doubt of its ability to do so
again.
And the logic of events is in line with the
Dewloff prediction that it will begin to do so
in 1882. Progress in that direction will be de-
termined largely by the extent to which as a
nation and as individuals we are willing to
deal with realities, and to apply ourselves to
the problems of financial and industrial recon-
struction.
This means insistence on reasonable econ
omy, the elimination of waste wherever pos
sible, the balancing of budgets and a healthy
cognizance of the fact that going into debt
unnecessarily invites an aftermath of toll and
trouble.
1t is a pleasant thought as the old year has
come to an end that the business improvement
which will mark the beginning of the end of
worldwide depression is likely to be seen first
in the United States. Not a few American
economists will agree with their Dutch con-
frere in this prophecy.
Make way for recovery, then. The world
is in receptive mood.

To All City, County and
State Traffic Officers:
Frequently I continue to observe
automobiles being operated at night
with only one headlight. Obviously
this is a very dangerous practice, per-
haps more so than some other infrac-
lions of the traffic laws.
A concerted and vigorous effort to
drive all "one-eyed" cars off the
streets and highways ought to be
made. 1t is noted that the state high
way patrol is waging a campaign
against inadequately lighted cars.
County and city traffic officers should
join in the drive.

To the Citizens of Salisbury:


Building operations in Salisbury
during 1881 showed an increase ovel
the previous year, according to figure.
compiled by the Salisbury Chamber
of Commerce. The total for the year
just closed was $35O,435 agains,
$229,516 for the preceding year.
This indicates the soundness of the
business channels in the city-a rec
ord of which any city might BE-
proud during this period of inactivi-

1t is hoped 1882 will excel the fig
ure of the past year.

LEWIS DEFENDS
HIS TITLE HERE
FRIDAY NIGHT

Ed Stranger" Lewis, heavy
weight wrestling champion, who
puts his title on the block in this
city Friday night, is the only
wrestler who has held the worlds
heavyweight title four times.
Lewis won it first in 1920 after
nearly 10 years in the game when
he defeated Joe Stecher. The fol-
lowing year Lewis lost the title to
Stanislaus Zbyszko and the next
year, 1922. he regained it from the
giant Pole, being awarded the
$4,000 diamond-studded champion
ship belt.
The title remained in the pos
session of Lewis for two years when
he lost it to Wayne Mum. giant
Nebraska football star who had
turned wrestler. Mum, since de-
ceased, threw Lewis out Of the ring.
zbyszko took the title back from
Mum and then lost it to Stecher
who kept il from 1925 to 1928 when
he again lost to lewis at st. Louis.
Ed held the title until he was
butted out of the championship at
Boston by Gus Sonnenberg in 1929.
Sonnenberg was recognized as
champion until he lost to Don
George in Los Angeles, December
10, 1890. and when Lewis met and
defeated George at Wrigley field,
Los Angeles. April 13, 1881, the
title came back again to the vet

The New York Athletic club today
held three new worlds swimming
records, made last night while de-
feating the combined team of the
Los Angeles A. c., and the Holly
wood A. c., 33 to 81.
The New York A. C. relay team
churned through 400 yards in 1892
2-5, beating the clubs own previous
world mark of 3:349 set in 1881.
The coast team time, also better
than the old mark, was 334.4.
Leonard Spence, New York, hung
up a new record of 1904 for the
100 yard breast stroke, clipping one
second from the previous mark of
1:O7.4 set by his brother Walter in
1927.
In the 800 yard medley relay, N.
Y. A. C. was clocked for a new
universal time of 1922. The prev
ious record of 3:05.6 was set by
the Lake Shore A. c., in 1881.
