RESPONSIBILITY

True Education is practical above
all things. An education which does
not teach us the purpose of life, and
how to live that life, is not The True
Education. Few courses of study, as
pursued by our young people, teach
anything at all about the purpose of
life on earth;-they magnify the
material things above those of a
moral or spiritual character. It may
be stated as reason that educational
institutions are not for the purpose
of teaching morality and spiritual
values, but rather for the purpose of
teaching our young the things which
will revelop the mind. That is the
great defense Of the higher branches
of education,-the development of the
mind. But in developing the mind, we
must not lose sight of the fact that
we are on earth for a purpose.
A very large number of supine,
powerless souls have fallen during
the past few years;-many continue
to falkland this little preachment
is based not so much on the weak
nesses of human nature as it is on
the thought that there should be few
er people with negative qualities.
Nowadays we do not use the word
"supine;" we say that such people
are "spineless." But as Patriot Henry
might perhaps say, "When shall we
be stronger?" 1t surely will not be
while very large proportion Of our
population is being helped by charity
and while we are all insured in one
way or another against most all the
risks and vicissitudes inherent to hui
man life on earth.
The tendency Of the times SENS to
be to provide everyone, everywhere,
and almost regardless of whether
they are producing anything for
themselves, not only with the necess-

which the President has been contin-
uously in retreat.
The New York Journal Of Com
merce considers that even, this form
of initiation, however, will merely be
an extension Of the form Of imitation
that has already been accepted and
INDUCED in by the Administration.
The organ insists that the present
policy Of the Government in issuing
bonds which the National banks are
purchasing and which now constitute
so, large a part of the assets of these
financial institutions is nothing more
or less than imitation in effect and in
principle, although, of course, as that
authority knows, it is far less vici-
Gus and sinister form than that Of
turning the presses loose to print
whatever amount of paper money
might conceivably be useful for any
immediate objective.
The Journal of Commerce insists
that "the additional money issued to
pay off the soldiers bonus would
quickly be spent and deposited with
the banks, and the latter would in
turn deposit it with the Federal Re-
serve banks, thus expanding already
swollen excess reserves by some
OOO,0OO,OO0. The Federal Reserve
banks in turn would reissue the
greenbacks, instead of paying out
Federal Reserve notes when member
banks ask for cash to meet depositor
Withdrawals. The net effect of the
issuance of $2,OOO,OOO,OOO of green
backs would thus be the replacement
of an approximately equal amount of
Federal Reserve notes now outstand-
ing, and an increase in member bank
excise reserves from their present
level at about $4,000, 100000 to more
than $4,0OO,0OO,OOO."
The scattering abroad of such an
amount as the Government will thus
pay the soldiers will, of course, have
an immediate effect of stimulating
business, especially retail trade, but
the trouble with the country today is
that it is about choked to death with
artificial dosages that leave the patti
ent only in worse condition when the
stimulation wears out and the hang
over sets in.

Although the war business has not
come up to the 1917 standard, it is
fairly prosperous for hard times. Two
thousand years ago, message was
sent out which said: Come over to
Macedonia and help US. Greek war
ships have recently taken trip to
Macedonia, not on an errand of aid,
but to put down a rebellion. Great
Britain looks with uneasiness on the
doings in Germany and votes an in
crease equivalent to twenty million
dollars in her military appropriation.
Italy slips a few thousand more
troops into Africa to keep an eye on
Ethiopia. The United States army will
build thirty planes Of new and threat
ening possibilities, capable of making
things unpleasantly hot for those who
start anything in the air. War ma
terial is like castor oil. It is not es-
pecially popular but until a new
school of international medicine
arises it will continue to be a handy
thing to have on the shelf.

One of the marked tendencies of
the present is in the direction of re-
ducing interest on obligations. With
that end in view, the government has
taken hand in refnancing loans on
homes. The latest treasury issue of
bonds will be used in part to replace
a rate Of four and one-quarter per-
cent on Liberty loans by rate of
less than three percent. 1t is hard to
pick out the popular side of the argu-
ment because the average man is BIZ
partisan and somewhat inconsistent.
There is mighty satisfaction in look
ing at the savings bank pass book
after the semi-annual interest entry
has been made therein. The same
satisfaction does not exist when a
note has to be made or met. A time
existed when demanding money for
the use of money was regarded as
Contemplate. All interest was called
usury and was under the cloud that
attends the modern definition of the
word, but interest has gradually re-
quired responsibility. After all, ones
attitude regarding interest depends
entirely on whose OK is being gored.
The interest-payers are in position
torejoice and the interest-takers can
console themselves that they have
not been bumped as hard as they
would have been some hundred years
ago when the high point of interest
on commercial paper was thirty per-
cent.

THROUGH STATE
CAPITAL KEYHOLES
BY BEss HINTON SILVER

I PonieS AoW facing Cax-1ree federal
competition. At least that's what thew
said in effect on the floor of the
House-and most of them would like
to reduce the sales tax rate for per-
sonal and political reasons.
NEEDS DOUGH
Friends of Congressman Hancock
think he is an ideal candidate to op-
pose Senator Josiah W. Bailey in the
Democratic primaries next spring.
They believe the OxfoEd Congress-
man would listen to their pleas but
for one thing-MONEY. 1t is known
by one and all that you need the long
green to run for the United States
Senate from North Carolina and eve
rybody knows that Mr.. Hancock has
no money to burn. It is said however
that Senator Bailey's financial condi-
ton will easily stand the strain of
another Senatorial campaign.
POLITICS
Newspapermen have construed GER
tain remarks by Secretary Wallace,
head of U. S. DEPARTMENT of Agricul-
ture, as charging that Governor
Ehringhaus is playing politics in at
tempting to get the AAA to lower
the tobacco crop allotment for next
year. When Wallace spoke in Raleigh
several weeks ago it was plain that
he and the Governor were not in COM
plete accord on the tobacco program.
Governor Ehringhaus thinks the par
ity price this year should be about
26 or q cents while the AAA is talk
ing about calling it 81 cents and in
creasing production to hold the price
around that figure. Governor Ehring-
haus denies that he is seeking votes
for the Senate next year and insists
that he is only following through on
the strokes he made in 1888 and 1884
to boost weed prices and improve con-
ditions in the tobacco belt.
CAN'T TAKE 1T 7
Senator league, Of Wayne County,
is one dry member of the Legislature
who is voting his personal as we'll as
political convictions and he does not
believe the Hill bill to put the State
J in the business of selling liquor will
become a law at this session. The
only time Senator league ever set
aside his personal convictions in ia
vor of political ones was when he tore
his shirt for Al Smith in 1923. Speak
ing of the Hill bill Senator league
said: 81 do not. believe these men
will vote for the liquor bill when
their names are called for the printed
record" 1t is no secret that many
measures would pass were it not for
roll calls and record votes.
WRONG GENERAL !
Many legislative observers express
the opinion that anti-sales tax forces
showed a lack of judgment when they
commissioned Representative McDon-
aid, of Forsyth, to lead the fight for
substitute measures. They believe
that Representative Lumpkin, Of
Franklin, could have done a much
better job as pilot of the Mcdonald
Lumpkin bloc. Lumpkin is a person
able fellow and is credited with pos
sessing more horse-sense than the
average "left-winger." Mcdonald ap-
parently rubs a lot of folks the wrong
way and there be people in these
parts who say that fault has cost the
sales tax substitutes considerable
support.

To the credit Of our congressman,
it should be noted that although they
are willing to be considerd busy
men, they do not wish to be under
stood as maintaining that they are
overworked. At least that conclusion
can be drawn from the fact that the
House turned down a bill which would
necessitate an annual expenditure of
a half million dollars to secure an
extra clerk for each member.

1t was a real delight to hear each
musical phrase called out for its full
content, with a polish that for the
moment looked no farther. Under
her skiIful guidance, the orchestra
was resolved into its component parts,
so that their Internationally, which
was the final climax, was the more
realizable. Not that this brought a
disjointed ensemble, but rather a
focusing of attention on the section
promineut at the time, so that the
full beauty Of the phrase was heard
before it was merged into the whole.
One marveled at the clearness of de-
tail, and at the same time the artistry
of its development TO q logical and
poetical climax.

had not one felt supreme content In
