NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM

We hear great deal about Capitalists" as II
they were a small handful of people who were fat
tening at the expense of the rest of us. But some
recent figures we saw suggest that great many
more of us are capitalists than is commonly sup
posed. -"
EVERYBODY who has dollar not in use or an
interest in any kind of wealth in any tangible form
is. to some degree capitalist. There are Tor 'ex-
annie ten million individual stockholders in the
o 600 eorporations whose shares are traded in on
the public exchanges. There are eight million IN
dividuals who own government or corporate pondS'
Twenty-odd million persons have life insurance
policies on which they have paid premiums. Eleven
million Americans own shares in building and loan
associations More than twenty million people own
automobiles Two million families their homes
free and clear and two and one-half million own
mortgaged homes. There are six million individual
farm owners and fifty-three million persons who
have savings bank deposits, averaging more than
$500 each. ... F.. se..." 3d..
Of course those groups overlap; one man or wo-
man may belong to most of them. But the total
of capitalists certainly runs into many millions, in
Guiding the two and one-haf millions who paid in
come taxes for 1888 and the other, million and
half who made returns but paid no tax.
1t is the people in those groups who pay the
taxes for the operation of the federal, state and
local governments of the United States. When we
hear loose talk about "overthpowng the capitalist
system" in this country, wonder if the people
know what they are proposing to overthrow.-The

THE COTTON MILL STRIKE

Indications point. toward failure of the cotton
mill strike begun ten days more ago.
First reason; is that the public is not in sympa-
thy with it. Particularly the farmer who is seeing
the price of cotton going down every day, and
which no doubt is attributable to idle cotton mill
workers. ~,t h.-' e.
The second reason, and which perhaps should be
first, is that great number of workers want to
return to their jobs in the mills. g.. 81.
Farmers and working people generally are not
in sympathy with a group of union members now
working 20 hours "a week and who want a working
week of only 80 hours at the same pay as for long
er hours. ..n ...- a. 49, ts9us. ~
. The strikers were doomed to disappointment in
winning when they began sending 'flying squad
rons' to peaceful mills to intimidate those desiring
to work. 70,

appears that labor union chiefs are at the bottom
of the strike and attempting to justify their high
~ paid jobs. In other words, higher-ups are ex-

DON'T BLAME SCIENCE WHEN WE
ABUSE TT
(By BRUCE CATTON)

Because the triumphs of applied science
have made US marvelously productive, but
have left us unable to make full use of the.
things we produce, many people have
jumped to the conclusion that it is science
itself that is at fault. ,,....,.,.. ST.. D..
We hear, periodically, demands that sci
ence declare holiday; that new inven-
tons, discoveries and research generally
be held in allegiance until the race has had
time to catch up with its own cleverness.
One of the best answers to this demand
comes from Sir James Jeans, famous Brit.
ish astronomer and physicist.
Addressing meeting of the British AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Science
in Aberdeen, Sir James declared himself as
follows:
! h'Scientifc knowledge is transmitted
from one generation to another, while &C
INJURED characteristics are not. Thus, in re-
spect to knowledge, each generation stands
on the shoulders of its predecessor, but in
respect to human nature both stand on the
same ground. .... .,.s
ss"These are hard facts, which we cannot
help or alter, and which-we may as we'll
admit it-may wreck civilization. If there
is IAN avenue of escape, it does not, as
see it, lie in the direction of less science
bRt of more science"
1t is one of the ironies of existence that
the achievements of science are two-edged
tosls. ......~
The discovery of vast resources. of ply
steal power makes it possible for us to do
autonomous amount Of work with far less
effort than our grandfathers had to use;
but it also makes it possible for us to
blow ourselves out of existence, and if we
indulge in another world war we may do
precisely thai ......
Scientific agriculture has enabled us to
rid ourselves of the old fear that the
eaIth's population would grow faster than
its-s food supplies; but it has also robbed
the farmer of his old independence and
left tons of food to rot on the ground while
city people go hungry.
Machine power has taken the drrdgery
fr9m the workers routine-but it has ALSO
inssome millions of cases, taken away his
job and left him without the means of ex-
istsnce. -. 81. $685.. .., -.
But the remedy for these things isn't to
look science up in dark closet and turn
the clock back to 1890. Our only salvation
is g learn how to use these scientific tools
seHibly. If We do, we can make human
life much happier than it has ever been
before.

PLAN TO WAR
ON DIPTHERIA
Free Treatment for Chill

DR.. John H. Woodcock, Hender-

nounced today that he had made
arrangements for the distribution
of diphtheria preventive for the
children of Hendersonville and the
county, who are under six years

Following a recent application
made by DR.. Woodcock for diph-
liberia toxoid, he has been advised
by the state health office that pro-
vision for as much as is needed
for the treatment of children I'M
der six years of age, will be made.
The statement came in a letter
from DR.. John H. Hamilton, direc-
tor of the state laboratory of hy-
giene, a division of the state
health board. This letter explain
ed that approximately IS per cent
of the deaths from diphtheria in
the state are among children of
the age limit mentioned.
Parents of white children, Su-
perintendent F. M. Waters of the
city schools said today, may make
application for the treatment of
their children by telephoning No.
1884, and those of colored chill
dren may make arrangements by
seeing Prof. w. NJ. Robinson, prin-
cipal of the colored school here.
The anti-diphtheria medicine
will be shipped here by the state
board of health as soon as these
local agencies are able to advise
DR.. Woodcock as to how much ma
terial will be needed.
