NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LEADING OUT

Often the remark is heard "Our great troubles
are those which never happened" In 1929, 1880
and 1881 that philosophizng comment was heard
less frequently, but it is being taken from the
tablets of memory, busted off and passed on Tor
whatever psychological benefit it may become to
those who hear it. Thinking back seriously over
the unpleasant record of those three years as this
year of 1882 draws to a close, we are impressed
with the thought that greatest troubles IN those
years never happened. Much could be written
about the grave fears which good fortune and
earnest endeavor converted into constructive &C
complishment in the rebuilding of solid founda-
ton for American economy.
Now, with that accomplishment recorded and the
way cleared for still greater progress in this re-
building the matter of leadership becomes, as 1t
always does ultimately in any situation of impor-
lance. perhaps the most urgent of all the factors
of our national effort to restore approximate
normally Out of this situation energies the ma
TONS tremendously powerful automotivc industry
as unit, not only offering leadership for industrial
and commercial revival but actually contributing
that leadership and paying the costs thereof.
Thirty years ago this nation had automotive
industry. 1t is today the ''baby" among the ma
tons major industries, yet its influence ramiies
into every phase of the nations life and work.
Within few weeks, the United States will be
brought to realize just how ambitious, how far
reaching program of activity this industry is will
ling to undertake. In the acute depression of 1929,
this industry led the way out. The chiefs in the
industry know that, among all history, financial
and industrial history repeats itself more frequent
ly. So, these captains Of automotivedOm, with
courage, foresight and ample capital are embark
ing upon united effort aiming at unlocking con-
sumner demand, increasing the velocity of circula-
ton of money and broadening the markets for conf
modities and services. Maybe the example will be
worth follOwing.-Charlotte News.

A FAT YEAR FOR PATRONAGE

There is q certain incongruity in the fact that a
patronage list is being compiled by the Civil Scrv-
ice Commission. That is the one agency having to
do with government personnel that should be, in
practice as well in theory, removed from the
spoils system.
But the Civil Service Commission is sending out
QUESTIONABLE to all depal tments and independent
establishments asking for "the number of officers
appointments are not made through competitive
examination" is merely following established prece
dent. The same thin gwas done when the Wilson
administration came into office and again when the
Harding administration began.
Now the Democrats, out in the cold for II long
years. are with lean and hungry look asking
that the same information be compiled again. OF
the approximately $4,000 employees in the execp-
tive service about 108, 900 of them hold jobs which
are regarded as the spc;iS of war. Some of the

go through the storm of March 4 untouched Fol-
there are men and women in these jobs whose
worth makes them immune from the fate of those

NEW TRICKS FOR SEA DOGS
by BRUCE CATION


Those recent news stories telling how the
American navy has been holding extensive
maneuverS in the Pacific would probably
have been a lot more interesting to the
average citizen if he had any clear idea
Just what naval maneuverS are like and
why they are SO important.
Of course, even the most confirmed land
lubber knows that target practice, gun drill
and so on are necessary. But the true in
wardness of naval tactics in the larger
sense is something that doesn't often get
explained, and that is too bad Tor it makes
an interesting story.
In all ordinary naval engagements a
fleet must act and fight as unit. The open
sea drill of group of warships is not un-
like the drill of a platoon of infantry, and
it is necessary for the same reason that the
infantry drill is necessary.
The battle of Jutland in the World war
gives fine example of the fruits of sue
cessful drilling.
Twice in that battle the German high
seas fleet found itself heading directly into
a death trap; situation in which ali the
guns of the British fleet would bear on the
foremost German sQuadrOns and in which
the German squadrons at the rear would
be unable to come to the rescue until it was
too late. There was nothing for the Ger
mans to do but cut and run for it; but the
ordinary method of maneuvering by squad
rons would. take too long, and before the
fleet could be brought out of danger the
disaster would happen.
Then the long weeks of maneuvering
paid big dividends. Over and over the Ger
mans had practiced a move by which each
ship, independently, swung about in hall
circle to form new line headed in the op-
pOsite direction. 1t was an impossible"
bit of tactics; experts in other navies had
heard of it, had said it couldn't be done.
But at Jutland the Germans did ibid
it twice, and saved their fleet from what
had looked like certain destruction.
Out on the Pacific the American war
ships have been plodding through weeks
of hard, tiresome drilling. The general!
public hardly hears of it and doesn't I'M
derstand it; but it is just such work that
changes a collection of ships into unified
fleet, ready for any chance that fate may
bring to it.

A WISE RELIEF POLICY

Macon county's relief agencies-the welfare de-
partment and the Red Cross-haye wisely adopted
policy of helping only those who willing to
help themselves. Of course, few exceptions are
made to this rule to care for those who are in
capacitat I'd or who for other unable r.
help themselves; but as a general thing one must
work before receiving aid.
Such policy not only will serve to make relief
funds go farther and insure their use where genu-
nely needed, but it also is calculated to have the
effect of encouraging rather than undermining self
respect in those who due to unusual conditions be-
yond their control find it necessary TO ask for aid
Charity may be sweet for the bestower but it is
bitter for many of those who have to accept it.
Now needy person going to the welfare DEPART
ment or to the Red Cross receives not charity but
respectable assistance. They are given work, not
a hand-out.
The story is told of one able-bOdied man who
had been accustomed to receiving Red Cross flour.
He went to the welfare departments office one day
with request for more. Miss Rachel Davis, the
superintendent, said she had job for him if he
was willing to work; but re wasn't. So he received
no flour.
The charge has been made that relief activities
In Macon county were encouraging pauperism.
Such charge is now baseless.-Franklin Press.
