of cards can only mean Just this:
Partner, I have reserve value in
my hand which did not need in order
to give you the bidding you have heard
from me so far. 1t consists Of a re-
serve half primary trick (or more). I
tell you this by bidding FIVE no trumps
instead of signing of with five hearts.
Plainly, on your bidding, six hearts is
now quite safe for us. My raise Is
quantitative. Carry on"
Bid of Five in Previously Unbid Suit
says something different: Partner
you have made a bid which calls for
additional information about my hand.
am glad to be able to tell you that
have four-card suit headed by pri-
mary trick which I had no reason to
name earlier in the bidding, possibly
because its primary trick was included
in the primary values on which I have
made the bids you already heard. This
is the information I have to add: Do
not count ON me for more than the
four primary tricks already promised.
Had reserve half primary trick,
would have bid five no trumps. As it
| is, my raise is qualitative, not quantita-
tive; I have risked nothing by telling
you this, because we are plainly safe
in five of your suit or five no trumps,
and probably you are going to six any
how. I hope this information will be
what you need for grand slam. The
rest is up to you.''
Responder Provides Distribution
and Suit Length.
To avoid any confusion with the pro-
cedure explained while back for slam
bidding when both hands are Short
suited. will add that the jump take
out by responding hand (three in a
suit over one no trump guarantees suit
| length for squeeze and general playing
purposes, SO that the opening bidder
is not expected to contribute any un-
even division of suits to help in the
! play of the hand. On the contrary,
it is best that his strength should be
evenly distributed on this bidding by
his partner Consequently. if at late
| stage in a slam try he does bid or raise
| by his partners bidding. this is clearly
done for purposes of locating either (a)
! second and third round control of it
as we'll as first-round control possessed
! by partner: or (b) first-round control
! as we'll as the second and third round
| control held by partner; or Co to
avoid duplication in connection with
a void holding; cd to uncover means
| of discarding losers by virtue of some
special holding or anticipated play, the
nature of which is known only to the
responder.
Eliminate the Losers.
| The only safe method of slam bid
ding is in the elimination of losers in
conjunction with control of the timing.
The opening bidder must cooperate in
this process by following his partners
| instructions as constructively and logi-
cally as possible. Precision is the de-
Gliding factor Undertaking and over
bidding are equally costly in situations
of this kind.

of the slam try: it means that even II
opener has nothing at all in excess OF
the values shown by his bidding so far,
the hand is not endangered-it is per-
fectly safe in five hearts. Probably re-
sponder also knows that it is safe at
siX. and intends to bid six anyhow. His
real interest at this point is most often
in the chances for making seVen-odd.
For this reason the
Opening Bidder Must Not Consider
Passing the Four no Trump Bid.
If he is weak, by which I mean that
he has nothing at all beyond his
justification for accepting the slam try
on the earlier round, he says so by
bidding five hearts. This is not mere
conventional is common sense, as un-
doubtedly five hearts is safer than four
no trumps if slam is not to be bid.
So the sign-off consists in bidding five
hearts You have told your partner
the clear truth about your hand, and
you should not worry about his next
bid
Quantity and Quality.
However, if you have any kind of
serviceable factor in your hand which
your bidding has not been able to
show so far, give him this information,
since probably that is exactly what he
is trying to find out. This information
may be either quantitative or qualita-
tive, and you cannot know just what its
value may be to him. However, you
have an unmistakable choice of bids
by which to give your message.

THE REASON FOR LAW

A lot of people from time to time make good
deal of capital of the very evident truth that claws
cannot stop crime, or make people good"
No thoughtful person will attempt to claim these
desirable ends can be achieved in that manner or
by those means.
But it is even good deal more foolish to at
tempt to make it appear truth that laws if they
are enforced-and if they are not enforced that
can hardly be called laws-will not make crime a
good deal more difficult to "get away WITH OF
that they will not encourage people to do right
at least to refrain from doing what society consd-
ers wrong.
Which means that law is made for the protec-
ton of society.
That is the only reason we have law at all.-The

NATURE REBELS

Nature, of which man is the most majestic and
magnificent part rebels against mans destruction
of it's nanimates.
The axeman fels tree, but the insistent life OF
the trunk refuses to succumb and sends up new
branches from the stump.
All over the South's cotton fields today, you can
see the same evidences of natures relentless hold
on the spark of life.
Cotton plants, lying half buried beneath the dirt
in which they were planted for a profitable career,
manned and gnarled by the plowman, are bursting
their bolls under the tOrrd sun of August days.
1t is nature in stubborn resistance against death
and destruction.
1t is life holding against mans best efforts
to turn it into dissolution.
If these bolls that are turning out their staple
through the dirt that half buries them could speak
with the voice of the man who has turned them
under they would probably ask embarrassing ques-
tions.
One of them would be what sort of a fool he is
to have raced himself into economic corner
where he had to kill the fruit of his energies and
the reward of the kindly earth in order to escape
the knot he tied himsef.-Charlotte Observer.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE BIRTH OF PROHIBITION

Early in the 1905 when Lyman Beecher was
minister of the Congregational Church in Litchfed,
Connecticut he went to two ordinations in success.
sion where the reverend members drank heavily.
The ministerial society actually furnished the
drinks; they were ION the house, Beecher CON-
mented that "The sideboards with the spilllngs OF
water and sugar and liquor looked and smelled like
the bar of a very active grog shop" While none
of the ministers were really drunk, many were con-
siderably exhilarated He resolved never to attend
another such affair.
Not long after, Lyman Beecher went to preach
in a hamlet near Litchfeld in connection with his
incessant revival activities. AS his custom, he
went to the house of promising young man who
had actively helped him. He found the young wife
in tears of despair and the husband in bed-drunk.
Hurrying home in a white heat of Indignation,
Beecher wrote six sermons against drinking which
he preached on successive Sundays. They were
later published translated into many languages,
and widely circulated in this country and abroad.
In the concluding sermon, he asked what the
remedy is for intemperance, and answered, 1T is
the Punishment of ardent spirits from the list of
lawful articles of commerce by q correct and eff
fcient public sentiment such as has turned slavery
out of half of our land and will yet expel it from
the world"
Thus was the American temperance movement
launched.-Lyman Beecher Stowe, in the August
Atlantic Monthly.

Historically, the investigation
of the school dates far back and
began under the Gardner admin

called that the budget bureau
made the recommendation that
the institution be investigated
and the State Board of Chair,

work as a part of its functions
in state inspections. The de-

1t is there now. but it never has
been made public and what it
contains the board of charities
and public leaves the executive
office to disclose.
That office has not seen fit
to give the report publicity nor
has any statement been made
as to the changes. 1t is remem-
bered in Raleigh that many COM

it is not certain that more things
have been said about Caswell

CROOKED POLITICS AND ORGANIZED
CRIME
(By BRUCE CATION

Some of the most interesting reading
matter of the year is likely to come out OF
the New York grand jury hearing at which
U. S. District Attorney George q. Medalle
recently elaborated his charges that there
exists an intimate alliance between New
York politics and New York crime.
A charge of this kind is not new, and
to people at all familiar with the ways Of
municipal politics, in Manhattan or else
where-it is not especially surprising. Yet
it is an accusation over which We have
never, as a people, shown any capacity to
become indignant. If detailed list OF
names, places and dates can be given us,
we might be able to get stirred up about 1t.
The inability of the average big city
government to suppress organized crime is
one of the most shocking symptoms our
society displays Gang murders, racketee1-
ing, kidnapings, rum running, cOnglonl-
Grafton of Iawless outbursts such as no
other civilized land tolerates-these things
are cOmmOnpaceS in our municipal al
fairs.
Yet we seldom have the sense to reflect
on their causes.
When Mr.. Medalie declares that New
York has these things because her gang
sters are allied with her politicians, he
states nothing more than perfectly obvi-
Gus truth. 1t is true not only in New York
but in every other city where organized
crime is troublesome.
A moments reflection ought to show us
that there cannot possibly be any other ex-
PLANTATION. Inefficient our law enforcement
agencies may be, but they cannot be so
stupidity incompetent as to remain ignorant
of the activities of gangsters whose names
and deeds are known to the very school
children.
Yet we continue to miss the point. We
go to the polls, year after year, and vote
for the same old crowd of machine poll
ticians. We accept the spoils system with
out protest. We are complacent in the face
of repeated revelations that most city gov
ernments grant favors to the rich and the
powerful. And We cannot understand why
organized crime is so we'll entrenched.
If Mr.. Medalie, by citing chapter and
verse for us, can show us precisely how
such things work, he may start wave OF
public sentiment that will help to elimi-
nate the alliance between crime and poll,
tics in other places besides New York.

LIVING COSTS

Living costs bother the wage-earner. If his III
come does not rise in consonance with the price
of commodities, he begins to howl.
Truth is that basic living costs represent only
one-fourth of the earnings which America spends
To be precise the statistics are that the cost Of
living involves "a 1-2 per cent of ones income
whereas even uxuries require % per cent.
Other expenditures broken up into percentages,
are: Waste IA per cent, miscellaneous 10 1-2, bad
investments II, crime s "a, government ~,
schools 1-2, churches 3-4 of one per cent.
There is more that can be read into those sta,
tlstlcs than we want to read and remain comfort.
