Concluding his discussion of this question the
state secretary says: 1.-THE Junior Order found

early in its history it declared against those sell
ing whiskey, wines, beer and other intoXicants as

law of many years standing would be disastrous
to the Order and would at once line it up as being
behind the brewers of America and Europe. II
would mean that ten times more decent men would
leave the Order than it would gain by including
the sellers of beer in its membership. We have

other tore the darned old letter into Jibets and
dumped the pieces into the waste basket and tried
to forget the incident.
1t comes 10 my attention that within the past
month or so someone here in Monroe has written
4 dozen or more unsigned letters to as many cltl-

ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS SOCIALISM

After many years of effort Senator Norris Of
Nebraska finally succeeded in getting the federal
government to embark in the electric power and
fertilizer business at Muscle Shoals, Alabama
This of course puts the government into competl-
ton with similar plants owned by private capital
and employing many workers. Senator Norris does
not object to this at all; in fact he is proud to
have been the leader in this enterprise. No doubt
he would also like to have the government take
charge of all the railroads, steamship lines. tele-
graph and telephone lines and many other public
utilities.
There are enough power plants in the United
States to supply all the demand there Is for cleo
trio power, and great deal more There are plen-
ty of fertilizer factories and probably most OF
them have lost a great deal of money IN recent
years. Government competition will certainly not
help them get on their feet. The government can
operate at loss and keep going just so long as 1T
can issue bonds and raise taxes. Private business
must earn profit or stop when its capital is eX-
hausted. Many millions of public funds have al
ready been sunk in the Muscle Shoals enterprise.
great many additional millions will be expended
there with probably but little benefit to the coun-

Weights Measures Chief
Satisfied With Service

BeeeteeE
The Times-Ncws Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, June 12.-While al
most all of the newer gasoline
dispensing pumps in use IN the
state have Been approved by the
division OF Weights and measures
and conform with the weights
and measures laws, since only APP
proved pumps can now be used
and sold in the state, the new
computing pumps are among the
most satisfactory, according to e..
D. Baucom, superintendent OF the
division. Hf....'
"Since no new gasoline pumps
can be used or sold in the state
unless approved and found to
give accurate measure in accord
ance with the laws Of the state
most of the new model pumps
used by the better filling stations
are accurate and dependabI,e"
Baucom said. THE difficulty IS
hence not so much a question OF
the pumps themselves, as with
the ability of the average motor
lists to compute the cost OF the
gasoline delivered. This is cspe-
cially true since the gasoline com
panies have gone in for fraction
al cents per gallon, as II IL
cents a gallon or 10 Ito cents
per gallon. He usually takes the
word of the operator for 1t and
pays whatever he says.
"But the newer pumps being
developed automatically compute
the cost Of the gasoline delivered
at the posted price, so that the
motorist may see the exact cost
together with the exact amount
of gasoline delivered.
"These pumps are not entirely
fool proof, however, since there
| is nothing to prevent a dishonest
operator from setting the com
putting device at a different rate
per gallon from the posted price.
For there is no mechanical con
nection between the posted price
and the price computing device
So there is no way to prevent an
operator from setting the com
putting device a few tenths OF a
cent ahead of the posted price.
Gas a result, l have written
the makers of these pumps and
suggested that they put their en-
gineers to work to devise some
way to connect the computing de-
vice with the posted price indica-
tor, so that one cannot be chang
ed without changing the other"

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
AGAINST SELLING BEER

Of particular interest in Chester, owing to the
fact that the Junior Order u A. NJ, is to hold its
state convention here this summer, is the an
nouncehent of Secretary Hisey in the monthly
magazine that the laws of the order do not allow
its members to engage in the sale of beer.
The story is very Interestingly told in the fol-
lowing editorial item from the Orangeburg Times
and DemoeFati
"At least one fraternal organization in South
Carolina opposes its members participating in the
beer business. In the last issue of its monthly
magazine Secretary Hisey of the Junior Order

For something has occurred,

Away from stern duress,
Beneath the starry heavens slept,
Found solace in distress
By casting all their Cares aside.
Young fellows like to play
At useful tasks, before untried.

The future of the world is theirs.

To nourish hope in these young

THE CRUSADERS OPEN WAR ON
RACKETEERS
m RRUCE CATTONl

Not least significant of recent develop
ments isathe fact that the Crusaders, orig
inally organized to fight prohibition, have
now converted themselves into an organi-
cation to make war on racketeers.
Because of the intimate hoOk-up between
the prohibition law and the racketeer, any
group which works for the repeal of pro-
hibition has got to give some attention to
the racketeer problem.
There is no question but that the rack
eteer has done a great deal to swing pub
lie sentiment against prohibition. Justly
or otherwise, the 18th amendment has
been blamed for his existence. But we
should be making tremendous mistake if
we took it for granted that all we need to
do to abolish him is to abolish the 18th
amendment.
That would help. of course. The boot
leg liquor racket was first of the large
scale rackets, and from the very start 1T
was the most lucrative. But on one who
reads the daily newspapers and sees ever
recurring headlines about the milk rack
eteers, the dry cleaning racketeers," the
Labor racketeers," the gambling syndi-
Gates" and so on, can be so naive as to
suppose that the booze racket stands
alone. lass
During the decade that began in 1920
the words "organized crime took on a
very real and definite meaning. Before
that, big cities had had scattered groups
of criminals operating independently, and
they had had more or less loose groups of
hoodlums who worked in gangs; but there
never had been any genuine Capitalization
of any carefully planned organization.
The powerful and cohesive underworld
gangs that curse our cities today are Gre
atoms of the last dozen years.
In part these groups owed their birth to
prohibition-but only in part. They are
even more indebted to the fact that thru
many years we had let venality. favoritism
and se4f-interest rule our city politics. The
ward leader. the corrupt alderman, the
crooked political boss-these men presid-
ed at the. racketeer's birth, and they con-
tinue to shelter the racketeer today.
That is why the Crusaders action is Sc
encouraging. Repeating prohibition will
only be a first step in the war on rackets
To pretend that it will do the whole job
