MISTAKEN NOTION

Politics no longer is decent profession.
So thinks writer in one of the college maya
zines.
"The most serious of all menaces to American
principles is the increasing disgust of educated
young men for politics"-so he muses..
1t is not easy to dismiss the young mans disil-
lusionment as that which comes TO the average
sophomore who begins to grow up and finds that
his expected sunniness of disposition has the shad
ows of rogues and dots in public life thrown
across it.
But that's not the point
The important thing about the discovery of the
collegian is that while politics may be just rot
ten as he intimates its dirtiness will never be
remedied by educated young who find it toe
messy to touch.
The world waits on the college product who car
wade right into dirty places and make them clean
into bad systems and make them good, into un
friendly atmospheres and make them congenial.
That may not be quite so nice, refreshing and
stimulating but it is far better than for the col
lege graduate to sit the sidelines and press
scented handkerchief to his patrician nose.-Char
lotte Observer.

Odd Georgetown Fence

northwest corner Of Twenty eighth
and Z streets. The muSket barrels
are topped with cast-iron lance
heads. After the War Of 1912, rca-
lizing that Georgetown had rem

ment, too poor to make any expen-

Georgetown to help themselves

RALEIGH, May 1.-When Rep
resentative w. w. Neal of Nc
Dowell county, who had been
called to the speakers chair to
preside over the house by Speak
er R. L. Harris last night, reach
ed for the gavel to pound for
order, he found the gavel was
not there. He looked on the
floor, in the drawer Of the desk
and all around, but it was not to
be found. Meanwhile the noise
and confusion in the house in
creased.
Finally Speaker Neal asked the
principal clerk if there was a
spare gavel in the house, where
upon Principal Clerk Thad Eure
produced a wooden chair leg,
with which Speaker Neal pounded
for order.
During all this time, the gavel
was reposing in the hip pocket of
Representative Robert Grady
Johnson of Fender county, who
had purloined it from the speak
er's desk while a confederate had
engaged Neal in conversation
from the other side of the ros-
trum.
Representative Neal was not in
the least disturbed by the loss Of
his gavel, however, and proceeded
to preside with his chair leg
gavel as if nothing had happened,
despite the broad smiles of many
Of the house members.
Within a few minutes the gavcl
was replaced on the speaker
desk in as mysterious a manner
as it had disappeared.
"The boys should not take my
hammer away from me like that,
since the best part of presiding
over the house is being able to
make lots of noise hitting the
desk with it," Neal said after
wards.

The arguments against the EN-
barge proposal, chiefly, are that il
gives the president power 20 ne
gotiatc agreements and enter into
foreign alliances without Senate
consent. violates neutrality laws in
case an embargo is invoked against
one contestant and in effect de
clares war against the country go
lected without the consent of Con

Edward NJ. Borchard, professor
of international law at Yale, says
the legislation would enable a pres
ident to pick out one guilty ma
ton and then, by combinations
with other powers, strange that
nation in the name of peace" He
argues il is absurd to try to pick
an "aggreSSor nation" after a lew
days of fighting.
IOHN BASSETT MOORE, author
y ity on international law, has
written Congress protesting the
embargo proposal.
"A nation that undertakes t
NEEDLE with every foreign disturb
ance is bound to become an inter
national nuisance, to its own detil
ment as we'll as to the annoyanc,
of other countries" Moore says
'If a government bans the ship
ment of arms and munitions u
one of the parties in an armed con
nict and permits it to the other
it interveneS in a military sense
and makes itself party to the
war. whether declared or unde'
clared"
Prof. Joseph p. Chamberlain
of Columbia replies that the resolu'
tiOr is an important move toward
peace, that concerted cmbargoes
would be hardly likely to expose
any one of group of countries to
hostile action and that no country
would war on the powers who I'M
nosed cmbargoes against it when
it would thereby shut off all its
foreign trade and make matters
worse. The program would not
violate neutrality laws, he says,
since they are only an act of Con.
gress which would now be amended.

FIRE INSURANCE IN NORTH
CAROLINA

The fire insurance companies are doing
a losing business in Henderson county, ac-
cording to the figures presented yesterday
at the meeting of special agents in Hender-
sonville. Over period of few years the
companies claim they have paid out ap-
proximately $529,OOO on fire losses and
collected $4,000 in premiums.
'"That is good business" says the fellow
who has burned his property to collect the
insurance. Henderson county is $18O,OOO
ahead of the game
That opinion is shared by some MERGE
nary citizens who have not burned their
property but who subscribe to the opinion
that it is all right to soak the insurance
companies.
Of course all the fires in Henderson
county in the past few years have not been
incendiary or criminal. Many of them have
been accidental or unavoidable. That IS
the case throughout the State. Fire insur-
ance is intended to protect the property
of the people and to reimburse them for
losses when destruction of property by fire
past few years there have been heavy fire
losses in North Carolina that are known to
the insurance companies and to the public
to have been incendiary or criminal fires
cases where property was burned to co.,
lect the insurance. In but few cases the
officers of the law and the insurance COM
panies have been able to uncover the evil
dence to convict in court; but the public Is
we'll satisfied in many of these cases as
if the evidence had been presented in the
courts.
Admitting, however, that the, greater
part of the claims paid by the fire COM
panies have been honest and meritorious,
it remains fact that fire losses in North
Carolina are too great and that few more
years of such conditions will force fire in
surance premiums to prohibitive figures, or
result in the withdrawal of many or all OF
the companies from the insurance business
in this State. ...
As was pointed out at the meeting OF
special agents yesterday, and later at the
meeting of the Rotary Club, by State Fire
MarSnal OueI"OOu IiOIGOi' hlC iOoSNo III
North Carolina total around $25,OOO,OOO a
year. That amount of money goes up i'll
smoke every twelve months.
The mercenary citizen and the tire-bug
are not concerned. "The insurance COM
panies pay it, say these gents; and they
further fortify their position with the as
sertion that most of the insurance com
panies are foreign corporations and
when North Carolina property is destroyed
by fire it is paid for with outside money.
The fallacy of such an argument is pat
ent to any honest and intelligent citizen.
The fallaey was stressed by Mr.. Proctor.
who directed attention to the fact that all
fire losses in North Carolina are paid by
North Carolina citizens. The companies
collect for all losses in the form of prem
iunis, or the cost of insurance to the in
sured; and, in addition, according to Mr..
Sherwood, the cost of insurance amounts
to around $1.4O for every dollar of loss
sustained by the companies. This addi-
tional forty cents is the cost of doing the
insurance business of the State and the
profits ofStne companies-if any.
Therefore, it is distressingly plain that

TOUHY TOSTAND.
TRIAL SOON

CHICAGO, Dec. 6 G.N.SO.
Arrangements were being made
today for the return of Roger
Touhy, reputed gang leader, and
three associates from st. Paul to
stand trial here December IL for
the ransom kidnapping of John
Jake the Barber" Factor.
Extradition papers for the four
men under indictment were
granted by Gov. Floyd Olson of
Minnesota.
Those held at st. Paul are
Touhy, Edward McFadden, Gus
Schaefer and Albert Kator. All
but Kator were recently acquitted
on charges of kidnapping William
Hamm, jr., st. Paul brewer.
Factor, who has been given 20
days to petition the supreme
court for a hearing on its de-
cision allowing his extradition to
England, will testify against
Touhy and his co-defendants.
They are accused of holding the
wealthy stock promoter until
$4,000 ransom was paid.
