WHO is AFFECTED?

All over the nation we read of states and cities
giving open concern to the increasing practice Of
gambling, and especially among the younger people
patronizing boards of various kinds.
And who are affected by the waste of money
through these devices?
Well. the business man is affected. For when
people squander money in devices that on the
average must cheat the participant they have that
much less to spend in the usual channels of trade
That the family suffers need not be argued
The schools suffer. When the gambling instinct
is nurtured by devices commonly scattered through
out the city, in the downtown district and the
neighborhood store, it is but natural that young
people become enthused the hope of getting
something for nothing and attention to school du-
ties is greatly interfered with.
Churches suffer 1t stands to reason that when
gambling tendencies are fostered six days in the
week the church and the Bible school cannot be
very effective in creating spirit of uprightneas
and lawfulness in the brief time spent in the house
of worship on Sunday.
Professional men suffer. When one is taught to
gamble, and sooner later fritters away all that
one possesses, it cannot be hoped that such per-
son will be able to finance himself in times of ply
steal economic distress.
The public generally suffers Experience has
taught that precious few people, and even slick
ones at that, profit financially in gambling
devices. Sooner or later defeat and disaster over
take And then society has to pay the bill,
either through charity funds, or in taxation for
the support of jails, courts and other public in
situations.
Yes, everybody suffers. And as long as there is
utter indifference on the part of the people we will
all pay the shot" The innocent suffer. And the
innocent and non-participants bunch of fools
to tolerate the existence of the gambling devices
that never build up but destroy.-Rock Hill, S. c.,

the state an opportunity to say, not only whether
liquor shall come into North Carolina and be sold

ING but fair that we should have a right to pass
upon this beer issue, and let drive it out OF
the state also. Everybody who has exercised the
slightest perception during the past year and
half knows that drunken driving and drunkenness
generally have materially increased in this state
since beer was Iegalized. Maybe this explains the
drunken besotted condition in Charlotte so widely
advertised by Mr.. Lassiter We want chance to

where beer is sold to our boys and girls on week

CHASTITY AND REVOLVING

John Haynes Holmes, a prominent New York
clergyman, has for Is years been one of the most
notorious parlor reds in America.
He has, as he himself has expressed it, defended
Soviet Russia against misrepresentation and attack
and prayed for the success of the revolutionary
experiment"
But after Is years of tyranny, massacre and
"ghastly horrors and crimes" his intellect and his
conscience revolt.
Now ne has denounced the dreadful crimes and
horrors being perpetrated in Russia by which as
ne expressed it, 'she is throwing away the sympa-
thy and support of mankind at the very time when
she Is right on the verge of winning both.'
IL IS ABOUT time he was seeing the light
How man and Christian minister could 90 on
preaching the gospel of peace and brotherly love,
and at the same time approve the CHASTITY horror
OF Soviet communism, with its inhuman cruelties
Its bloody tyranny and oppression worse than the
worst of the czars, its blatant immortality and ire
igion, is beyond comprehension
The man who could do this was certainly blinded
by the radical intolerance and bigotry which has
been so much Haunted in our faces as liberalism.
He may have been conscientious in his belief IN
and support Of the Evolutionary experiment.
But the man who could approve and commend
this horrid thing was no less an evil influence In
American life because he did it in accord With his
conscience and belief.-Rock Hill, S. c., Herald.

MORE WORK AND MORE INCOME

An important principle involved in both
nubTc and private wage schedules mas
been brought to attention by the argument
whether prevailing" wage rates should De
maintained in public relief work.
1t is a question, as Walter Llppman Sug-
rests, whether workmen would rather earn
a small income doing a little work at 4
high rate than larger income by working
more hours at lower rate.
In some ORANGES of private employment,
especially in building, skilled workmen are
kept idle and recovery is held back by the
effort to maintain prosperity wages IN 4
time of adversely incomes.
No sensible person wants to beat wages
down. But facts have to be recognized.
Workers are coming to recognize more
clearly that the income per month or year
is more important than the wage rate per
hour or day. Wide enough acceptance o.
this principle would rapidly increase work,
improve business, and thereby lead to
higher wages.
The same principle applies to the bust
ness end of industry. There are too many
employers who apparently would rather
sell few goods at high prices than sell
large volume of goods at lower prices,
: though the latter process is the way to
prosperity for them and everybody else.
Prices, like wages, can be raised when bust
mess becomes good enough.

radical and conservative elements perfect

miliar tag, because he did the same thing
as president.
That was no easy thing for him to do,
any more than it is an easy thing to do
today. On the one side were powerful in
fluences which wanted the new nation con-
taminated as little as possible by this per
nicious democracy business-some Of them,
indeed, wanted new monarchy over here.
On the other side were the ultra-radicals,
who wanted their democracy made as alb
Solute as possible.
WASHINGTON listened to both sides
w and made both sides work together for
the country. He teamed Hamilton and JEFF
ferson together in his cabinet, which would
be something like grouping Ogden Mills
and Norman Thomas today. He steered
way straight down the middle.
Hamilton got much that he wan;ed, and
so did Jefferson. What the country got
was solid beginning on which it vas able
to continue the great experiment in self
government for many generations.
The middle course is never very popular
or spectacular. But it served the country
very well indeed, as Washington applied
it. Might not the same thing be true today?

OLDER THAN THE LAW

Evils Of Strong Drink date back
to a time before the enactment Of
laws by civil government. There
is nothing that has happened in
the past to warrant belief that
these evils of strong drink will be
wiped off the slate where mans
problems are written down. 1t is
the duty Of man to fight against
these evils, as it is his duty to
fight against anything that leads
to moral degradation and human
suffering. It does not seem posi-
BILE, however, as one learns the
history of the past, that evil will
ever be abolished. We ere not
given even the promise of it in
Holy Writ. The fight against it
is the price we pay to free our
selves individually against the eff
feet of evil, here and hereafter.
Most of the evils Of the world
grow out Of ignorance OF lust.
But to curb their blighting influ-
ence and to aid the individual in
his fight against them, govern
ments are formed and civil law is
born. Many laws are passed to aid
one in his efforts to lead his life
in conformity with high ideals,
and to deter another from the
contrary course. But the law
makers are human. They are Of
ten themselves ignorant on the
one hand and without pure mo-
tive on the other. So that the laws
passed frequently fail of their
purpose because Of the ignorance
of those who pass them or from
an improper motive. Ignorance
may be clothed with the utmost
zeal, and bad motive in the suav-
est smiles. If these impediments
were found only in legislative
halls we could soon dispose of
them, but unfortunately they per-
meate society, and often create a
psychology that permits their
i4qlts to govern in voicing the law

RED-HEADED STEPCHILDREN

are progressing more rapidly gov
ernmantally than are states. Prog
ress in municipal government is
usually accomplished in spite of
the indifference or the opposition
of state legislatures.
1t is an odd situation, but 159
years after the signing of the
Declaration of Independence, cit
les of but 1G states, | believe,
have home rule. The municipali-
ties of the rest of the states are
tire red-hcaded stepchildren of
those states. The legislatures can
do to them almost anything they
please. They can determine what
kind of local government a city
shall have: they can alter that
, government; they can go to in
conceivable lengths, and the cities
are powerless to protect them
selves.
Furthermore the practice of
Legislative courtesy in states
where cities do not have home
for interruptions ring politicians.
II Is the custom for the legisla-
ture to let the representative of
any community have their own
way absolutely regarding legisla-
ton affecting their respective
communities. l have seen legis-
latiye delegation of three men
impudently rush a bill secretly
through both houses of the state
legislature under suspension of
rules that tore up and prostituted
a sound. efficient charter which
the people Of the city had adopted
at the polls!
The most capable men in the
community should be sent to the
state legislature. They should 90
as a patriotic duty. The state leg
! islature should confine its efforts
to statewide measures. Then it
would have more time for such
matters The municipalities them
selves should determine their To-
cal laws in harmony with state
wide measures. The constitution
of every state should guarantee its
municipalities the God-given right
to adopt and to amend their own
charters.
When a state legislature arbi-
trarilv reaches into a municipal
ity, disturbs local conditions, in
terferes with the citizens in the
working out OF local problems and
thwarts them in securing andlHX
serving the kind Of local cow ~

Back in December, 1882, Congressman
L. T. McFadden, Republican from Penn
sylvania, made an effort in the House to
have President Hoover impeached. One of
the charges preferred against the President
by McFadden was 'usurpation of legsla-

thinks of present day developments in the
