ects, including the Eads Bridge, at st.
Louis, before going to Pulaski County,
KY, where he became a deputy sheriff
and later chief special agent Of the
Southern Railway.
He worked as a detective for the rail-

through Southeastern Kentucky from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga, and was
wounded several times while on duty.
He was a guard for Theodore Roosevelt
when the President was on hunting
trips in territory served by the Southern.

SAVE THE RINGNECK
PHEASANT

A special state statute forbids
the killing of all pheasants in Row
an County for a period of five
years. The act provides a minimum
penalty of $500 and the costs
for each violation. Yet in spite Of
this law many pheasants are report
ed to have been shot and killed
during the past year in this county.
This is particularly di%scouraging to
those who have spent time and
money in attempting TO stock the
county with Pheasants. Many
farmers and sportsmen have reared
these gallant birds and liberated
them S o that they might increase
and multiply in our woods and
fields. There were probably 800
ringneck pheasants in the county
1t year, but present reports show
:hc = spite of a good breeding sea-
s-n the birds have not increased.
In fact, some careful observers

causes as schools and highways
when many noted thinkers are
warning us that there are mutter-
ings of the populace which we
cannon afford to ignore. The mil
lions of unemployed who are dis
couraged, undernourished and un-
der-clothed, cannot be expected to
have patience with unnecessary ap-
preparations for even schools and
highways. Is not this the time of
all times to allow teachers, schools
superintendent, highway officials,
highway employees, all State en-
ployes and State officials to show
their patriotism by their willingness
to share the common lot of their
fellow citizens so many of whom
do not have even the necessities
of life.
Pessimism is a vertiable blight

men reared and liberated about
twenty-five birds of the ringneck
variety, in Franklin Township, a
year or more ago. These birds hat
ched out their eggs. One hen was
seen with eleven half grown chicks
late last summer. A single cock
bird is said to be the sole survivor
of this covey. What became of the
others? Empty shot gun shells and
feathers on the ground tell the
mute tale.
The ringneck pheasant (Phasan-
Jus torquatus) is a bird worth pro-
tecting. A native of western Asia,
he is hardy enough to make the
grade in any climate. His natural
habitat ranges from the frozen
wastes of Western Siberia to the
tropical tungles of Indo-C China. He
is primarily insectiverous and pre-
fers insects to all other feed. In
the winter season he lives mostly
on weed seeds, having a'particular
fondness for ragweed seed. He does
not like corn and refuse to eat it
in captivity if he can get anything
else. In a mixed scratch feed, such
as is usually fed to chickens, he
eats first any small seeds in the
feed, then the grain, last the corn.
Prepared pheasant feeds are usually
made up of seeds. AS an insect
and weed seed destroyer his value
to farmers is incalcuble. The chief
thing against this magnificent game
bird is the alleged charge that he
may invade the barnyard and knock
the stufing out of the farmers
chicken rooster. This may have
occurred in isolated cases but it is
probably of very rare occurance.
Save the ringneck and cut down
the insects.

x SOCIETY OF
r o

The Texas Society of North
Carolina, an organization in
Guiding in its membership for
me- students of the University
of Texas and other Texans now
residing in North Carolina, has
in previous years made a prac-
tice of celebrating the second
of March-Texas independence
Day-with a banquet at which
Texas songs are sung, and the
members entertain one another
with "reminiscences of expert
ences had before and since leav-
ing Texas. Two such banquets
have been held in the King
Cotton Hotel at Greensboro,
and one in the Carolina Inn at
Chapel Hill. The latter ceie-
bration was featured with a
debate between a visiting team
from the University of Texas
and one representing the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
For various reasons it has
been found impossible to arran-
&c a dinner to celebrate the Sc
cond of March this year, but
a banquet may be held next
year. All former students of
the University of Texas, and
all other Texans now living in
North Carolina who might at
tend the next celebration, are
invited to send their addresses
to Prof. C. C. Rice, Catawba

NO LICENSE

Public sentiment in North Caro-
lima may force the repeal of our
existing prohibition laws. However,
it is not likely that any majority
of our people will advocate a re-
turn of conditions that will permit
any Tom, Dick or Harry to sell al
coholic liquors, whether these IL
quors be beer OF wine, by merely
paying a twenty-five dollar license
for the privilege.
One of the greatest elements of
course in the liquor traffic has heen
that of private profit. When Liquor
legally comes back, if it does, it
should be a State monopoly in which
every dollar of profit goes into the
Golfers of the state. No private
individual should be allowed to
make a copper cent out of the sale
of any alcoholic beverage, unless
the same be a salary paid by the
state for his service.
The state should control the
matter just as the United States
government controls the sale of
postage stamps or the French gov
eminent controls the sale of tobac-
co. Kill the element of private pro-
fit in the liquor traffic and the ma
jority of its political exils will dis
appear. The State needs neither
licensed saloon keepers nor unlicen-
sed ~bootleggers to solve the pro-
blem. The strict control of gov
eminent monopoly is the best solu-
ton offer so far.

THE NATIONS PRESIDENT

In a few days-barring any I'M
foreseen circumstance-Franklin
D. Roosevelt will take office as
Chief Executive of the United
States. More truly than any other
man of modern times he may be
called the nations President.
He was elected by a great and
sweeping national movement. His
mandate was perfectly clear. Al
most every State in the Union
showed that a majority of its citi-
zens wished him 70 undertake the
task Of restoring order, if possible,
to a perturbed and disordered coun-
try. Nobody doubts his sincere
desire to do so; few believe that
he will be ruled by political expedi-
ency. His ability has been tested
in the fires of the Governorship of
New York, to which he was r~e-ele-
ctd by an astonishing plurality. He
will enter the White House with no
rash promises to keep, and wholly
untrammelled by sectional obliga-
tons. In that sense, also, he will
be the President Of the whole peo-
pie.
Mr.. Roosevelt faces q colossal
Job. No President since Lincoln has
been confronted with a grimmer

array of unfavorable facts to deal
with. But, as was not the case
with Lincoln, the whole country
wishes him we'll.
These are times when a President
is to be unheld by all the people in
whatever of advantage to them he
undertakes We believe that that is
the feeling toward Governor Roose-
Welt. We think tnas there is a
general disposition to hold up his
hands and give him a fair show as
he tackles the job to which he has
been called. And we are convinc-
ed that party lines are pretty we'll
obliterated-for the time, at any
rate-in this support and encour-
agement.
The President, with all his limi-
tations of power, has a vast and
far-reaching influence on the affairs
of the country. As a nations Pre-
sident, Governor Roosevelt enters
upon the scene accompanied by the
wishes of all that this influence be
for the good of every citizen.

COMMENT
BLIND OPTIMISM WORSE
THAN PESS!MISN1

To The Editor:
Are we o. in danger of advo-
eating too strongly some of the
activities of our State while ignor-
ing the perils which even the best
minds admit threaten us.
While millions of Americans are
without income, and millions more
out of employment with their chill
dren suffering SO tragically from
undernourishment in body that
their minds are in no condition to
take an education, are we not I'm
wise in opposing any further re-
duction in the salaries of school
teachers and school officials? Have
we not also become obsessed with
the idea hat there shall be no re-
duction in the expense of and ap-
preparation for our highways?
And in regard to our highways,
should not there be more regula-
ton in the weight of load and tax
alton as applied to the huge motor
trucks which are crumbling, crack
ing and damaging our hard sur
faced roads in so many, many
places?
No n is opposed to doing all
that can be done within reason for
both schools and highways, but
should we not in these trying times
refuse to appropriate a single I'M
necessary penny for even such

OPPOSES BOTH HUSBAND
AND WIFE WORKIN(

AND WIFE WORKING
To The Editor:
Why is it every time the assem-
bly, meets a poor school teacher is
bounced upon to help balance the
budget and the girls that work for
the state too for a mere sum of less
than 500 per month?
One way to clear this up is to
put a stop to married women and
their husbands both working. If
this was done even in Raleigh the
school teachers in North Carolina
would not have to be cut n cent.
Take out every married woman in
North Carolina where her husband
is making 500 (for there are
thousands living and supporting
families on far less than that) per
month and not stop in Raleigh, but
rid North Carolina of it. So many
girls in the state today are trying
to work to pay for their education.
But a girl marries, keeps her job
right on--her husband works-yes,
they live. Nc wonder North Caro-
lima is behind in education. Clear
the legislative halls of the married
women first, for charity begins at
home, then take Raleigh and do
the same thing. We would see a
vast difference. Let the poor school
teacher have a rest for God knows
they have enough to contend with
in the school room. The school
teachers, SO per cent come from
the. country and there is where a
major part of the tax comes from
to support these high salaried office
holders and their wives-drawing
almost what their husbands get.
While we are praying we should
remember and ask our Lord for
more Stacy Wades in this special
matter.

MASONS ...... as Presidents
President Franklin Roosevelt is
the thirteenth member of the Ma
sonic Order to be President of the
United States. | have often heard
some of my Masonic brethren say
hat every President has been a
Mason, but that is not true.
WASHINGTON was Master of his
Lodge. Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Bu-
chanan, Johnson, Garfield, Nc
Kinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft
and Harding were Masons. There
is no Masonic record to prove that
Jefferson was a member of the Or
der, but there is collateral evidence
which is taken and accepted Mas
onically as indicating that he was.
Mi. Taft was not a Mason be-
fore he was elected, but the Grand
Ledge Of Ohio made him a "Mason
at sight," between his election and
his Inauguration.
President Roosevelt was recently
initiated into one of the Masonic
societies, the Tall Cedars of Le-
RELIGION of Presidents
President Roosevelt will be the
ninth member of the Protestant
Episcopal Church to be President
of the United States. 1t is a curl
Gus thing that this small denomi-
nation should have had more repre-
sentatives in the White House than
any Of the other branches of the
Christian Church. There are less
than two million Episcopalians in
America compared with nearly
eight million Baptists, but only one
President, Harding, was a Baptist.
There are nearly twenty million
Roman Catholics and none has
ever been President. One President
Coolidge, was a Congregationalist
one, Garfield, a member Of the
Disciples of Christ, one, Hoover, &
Quaker, two, Van Buren, and Theo-
dore Roosevelt, belong to the Dutch
Reform Church. Both the Adam
ses, Fillmore and Taft, were Uni.

GRANDFATHERS 49,. few
Although one of the youngesi
Presidents, Mr.. Roosevelt is one Of
the few who were g%tandfathers
when they were elected. Mr.. Hoov-
er was also a grandfather, Mo-
from then back for nearly a humid
red years l cannot find a record
that any President was a grand
father at the time of his election.
Washington had no children at all.
Johnson Adams and Jefferson
were grandfathers, and so l believe
was Monroe. William Henry Har-
rison, who lived but a month af-
ter his Inauguration, has a grand
son who later became President,
but l believe there was no other
President than those I have named
who had grandchildren at the time
of his election.
Mrs. Warren Harding was a
grandmother, through her son by
her first marriage.
Not that any of that is import
ant but l set it down as of possible
interest while we are talking about
the new President.
