THE DAY OF THE CHILD

By proclamation of the Presi-
dent of the United States, the first
day of May will be observed as
National Child Health Day. The
President suggests that every COM
munity ought to conduct on that
day some sort of exercises TO at
least impress upon everybody the
importance of individual and COM
munity effort to preserve the
health of children.
We are heartily in accord with
this idea. Child welfare has be-
come such an important part of
every program for social better
ment that many folk sort of take
it for granted, and do not realize
the amount of time, effort, study
and money that has been expended
all owe the country to make health
conditions for children safer and
better everywhere.
One does not have to be very
old to remember when more than
half of all children born died in
infancy. Look at any old grave
yard and see the number of tomb
stones inscribed to the memory of
little ones who passed on before
they were hardly able to talk.
That is not the case today. Every
child born has many times better
chance to live to grow up than
WI older folk did. Everybody
who is. thirty or past is one of the
minority of children of his birth
year, the majority Of them died and
we are the survivors.
The interesting figures publish
ed at Washington a short time ago
that show that the increase in the
nations farm population is due to
the excess of births over deaths, are
set off by the decline in the birth
rate in the larger cities. 1t is true
that in the United States, by and
large, births are only a little ahead
of deaths, and the time is likely to
come when this country, like
France, will have to offer prizes
for large families in order to keep
the population stationary from year
to year. But we think it is bet
ter, on the whole, to bring fewer
children into the world and sur
round their infancy with every
care % that they have a chance to
grow up, than to breed twice as
many and let them die.
W. have learned, too, that
healthy children make healthy men
and women. The average length
of life in America has increased by
nearly ten years in the past genera
ton. That is beyond doubt due to
the increasing knowledge of how
to conserve the health of children.
Give every child a chance. 1t

There is no idea in the minds Of
the great majority of Congress that
the time has come, or is ever likely
to come, for hamstringing and cru
cifying the system under which
they and their constituents have
grown up and prospered pretty
we'll, on the whole.
They would like to find ways to
cure some of the obvious faults in
the system, and SO would everybody
else, but they have no idea of kill
ing it. And neither has the Presi-
dent of the United States, the Hon.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Much of the suspicion suggested
earlier doubtless arises from the
Presidents avowed sympathy with
the under dog" in the battle of
life, a sympathy which most peo-
pie share but can be and is inter-
preted by many as extending to
the ultimate political aspirations
supposed to be held by all the "un-
der dogs" which are assumed to
head toward Moscow.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not heading that
way. Those who know best what
is in his mind predict that it will
not be long before he makes that
perfectly clear, by actions as vel
as by words.

A police department can only be
as efficient as the cooperation of
the public permits it to be, and
it is with this thought in mind
that we commend to the citizenry
of Spencer their new chief of pso-
lice. John Wagner leaves behind
him in Salisbury an unblemished
record of eleven years of efficient
and satisfactory service and in this
respect Speneer's gain is Salisbury's
loss.

We won't mention any names in
connection with this incident, but
it happened right here in Salisbury
on a night not far in the past. A
certain gentleman, having run out
of gasoline, parked his Car in the
business section of the city and
walked two blocks to a filling sta
ton to procure a new supply. Dis
daining all offers of assistance the
party carried the five gallon can of
gas back to his car, and with a sigh
of arnes relief, started pouring it
into the tank of the automobile.
Imagine his amazement when after
about three gallons had been trans
|ferred the tank ran over. This
called for an investigation and his
amazement turned to chagrin when
he discovered that he had poured
the gasoline into the car parked
next to his own, and he realized
that any attempt to recover by the
syphon method would involve some
rather delicate explanations in case
of apprehension.

There has been a tendency,
both in and out of Washington, to
accept every legislative measure
without questioning it, if it was
3pbelled as emanatinE from the
Administration. That label has
been taken to mean that MI. Roose-
welt has personally drafted or read
the bill dictated its details and
that it is therefore sacred down 20
the last comma. But now it turns
out that this has been true in only
Ia few instances. Mr.. Roosevelt
has approved the principle of some
of the major bills, delegated the
drafting of them to men whom he
trusted, who have sometimes, in
turn, delegated the task to clever,
deft young lawyers who have let
their idealism run away with their
Judgment. And some of these
bills Wbicb THE President himself
neper read have gone to Congress
and before the public as admin
istration measures"
The general feeling here, and not
by any means solely among the
Presidents personal or political OPP
'ponents, is that DR., Writ perform
ed a real public service by making
his startling charges public just at
the time that he did. 1t has had
the net result of checking the &C
Invites of some of the ardent en-
'thusiasts for the revolution"

No Danger of Any College Professor Leading Presi-

DETROIT, Mich, June 27. - Postmaster General James A. Far ley told the delegates attending the Rotary Convention here today that there is no danger of any college professor leading President Roose- velt off on any haphazard adven- ture.
 The Postmaster General said the Presidents departure from the old practices of rugged individualism was long planned and it is now beginning to pay dividends.
 T know of no man with a more definite mind than his," said the Cabinet member.
 "a know of no executive less likely to be swayed by impractical theories, regardless of their source than the President.
 ''The Recovery Program was worked out in Roosevelt's mind be- fore he was even nominated.
 There is nothing impulsive about him except the impulse to serve his country.
 You may be sure his head is cool and his feet are on the ground at all times"
