NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAYS

Commenting upon the death record OF spartan
burp county which totals % since the hrst OF tne
year and the calling of a meeting OF clelzens "
d;scuss wavs and means for checking the slaughVer
1iont r. Wilkes, head Of the state highway pa
troll in this distIlet, said:
"Some of the people who are out on the roauS
=, cars are like mad dogs and are just as danger
ors Others. perhaps, don't mean to hurt anybody
hu+ thew are dangerous and a menace to others
because they violate traffic regulations, drive old
cars that are mechanically imperfect and do other
things that are absolutely unsafe. Yesterday With
out my uniform drove out on the ROADS Was
forced off the highway twice"
The observations and experience of Lieutenant
Wilkes are similar to those OF all drivers ana pas
sengers on the highway. Strange to say, some mo-
florists who are loudest in denuncaton OF careless
driving by others commit the same and even more
dangerous violations of traffic regulations.
In this city it is uncommon thing TO see mo-
florists ignore the red lights 1t is criminal act
On their part though it is not so considered by Law"
The driver who crashes red light signal shows
on inter disregard for law and the safety OF hlm-
self and others Doubtless he would be first to de-
ronnce similar driving on the parts of Others 1t IS
unfortunate that drivers of motor cars can not al
WAYS see themselves as others see them.
Numerous arrests have been made in this county
for reckless, careless and drunken driving. How
many of these men are made to serve time IN jail
ar on the gang? A light fine will not stop SUCH
breach of law, Such menace to human life In Chi
caeo. New York and many other cities magistrates
have quit fning drunken and reckless drivers and
are sending them to prison that they may have time
70 +b;pl. over their conduct.
From many parts of the United States come re-
ports of increasing slaughter on the highways That
means an increase in the number Of permanently
injured which last year exceeded the number of
deaths There are said to be ten safe drivers in the
country to one drunken and reckless driver. Until
the ten make up their minds that the one must be
driven from the roads little can be accomplished.
Any gathering of citizens to discuss the highway
death list is a step in the right direction. Public
opinion can make the highways safe for motorists

DIVIDING THE WEALTH

Much has been heard about division of wealth
in this country, and yet few know just exactly
what it means.
If Andrew MELONS fortune, estimated at $780,
O00, 900, were divided equally among the people OF
the United States, it would mean exactly rs cents
for each one of US in the country.
Divide j. P Morgan's wealth, and it would mean
40 certs for each person. Chop up Henry Ford's
factories and mines, and the result would be Sd in
each individual pocket. Take Publisher Hearst
millions and split them, and it would mean $1.6O
each, while the divided wealth of John D. Rookie
Teller might yield like amount per person.
The men mentioned are the five wealthiest in
this county, yet if we could turn all their wealth
into dollars then divide these dollars among all
the people of this nation, it would mean exactly
$8.35 each.-Morganton News-Herald.

THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

The educational system is not what it used to be
nor what it ought to be now when your boys and
girls step up to you and say, Pm not gong to take
so-and-so for study next year because It's too
hard" .'f '
Aforetime, the hardness of the subject was as
real and tough and uninviting as it is with the
youth of today, but the pupils of that former pc
Rod knew they had option.
The crazy idea had not then been edueationally
born that no child should be forced to study any
subject that such child might not crave to study
The curriculum fitted to the children instead
of the children adjusted to the curriculum as it is
so largely today.
And the difference IN the final result is that
under the former dispensation, better brand OF
scholarship was developed than under the latter
when so many children in the schools finally emerge
without even having acquired the most fundamen
tai of ell instruction-abity to study, art of con
centration and patience in Flooding. Charlotte

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
Bv IKE WALTON

Forest firebugs ought to be SEN
fenced to fight fires and do fire
prevention work under tough boss
es for two years for the first OF
Tense and longer terms for others.
! have been a volunteer forest
fighter a good many times. 1t is
awful-the fire and the fighting
both. The flames crawl, leap,
dance, twist, turn, jump. Stop
the mat one place and they appear
at another. Roaring among tree
tops, enveloping dry or dead giants
from roots to tip, making infernos
in piles of PROSTATE trash, they
kill birds, mans best friends; de-
stroy nests; often kill young and
occasionally old game; sweeps
over and. destroy lady-slippers,
ginseng. and scores of other beau
tiful and valuable plants and
shrubs: scar, blacken, and often
kill rhododendron, laurel and
agalea; shrivel up the little sprouts
of future trees; sometimes get in
to fields and jump to houses; and
occasionally catch human beings.
The infamous Scoundrels who
purposely set their fires are of the
lowest type Of vicious and rotten
humanity. They are actual OF po-
tential criminals in other ways.
They know how hard it is to catch
/ them or to convict them, and how
often they get off with light SEN
| fences.
Here is chance for some good
Oman work. A determined eff
fort to catch these Williams regard
less of expense could be carried
out successfully if the govern
ment were to 90 at it with the
same energy and intelligene with
which kidnapping was attacked.
Sections where suspicion rises
could be watched at night by dis
guised watchers sufficiently num-
erous to make it hard for a fire
bug to escape; and they should be
empowered and ordered to shoot
after the first order to halt is dis
regarded. In fact, this matter is
so related to the whole subject Of
law enforcement rs to justify a
veritahlc campaign Here is a
chance for some Of our new leg
islators. like Messrs. Rurgin and
Kinney, to get busy and to try to
make Il state police force as ef-
ficient as Uncle Sans. Many of
these fires are outside of the Ma
tional Forests and Parks. A good
bonus might well be given sher-
ifs, deputies and constables for
arrest and conviction, and heavy
rewards to citizens for authentic
information, which leads to it.
Two years in the woods fight
ing fire or clearing up conditions
rromOtin~ it might cure some of
the sllunks who ruin our wood
lands and cause so much damage
and loss.

aries and monopolists of the worst

such a man in his campaign. Pub
licly, however, he insisted he was
interested in the platform only.
Senator Vandenberg, from the
start, has told every friend he has
in Washington that he deems the
1886 Republican nomination to be
Worthless and that he would be
silly to take the presidential or
vice presidential nomination in a
losing year.
Publicly, of course, he would
say nothing of the sort.

OUT OF DIRT MAY RISE THE PURE
AND IDEAL
(Bv BRUCE CATION

Watching a national polltlcal cohVeh-
tion in the United States is just ABOUT
enough to make confirmed cynlc out OF
the most hopeful of citizens. o.,
A. convention is the spot where party
1ovalties, aspirations, and ideals roll up
their shirt sleeves and make their compro-
misses with necessity. 1t is the place Where
what ought to be tips its hat to what must
be. Old q.
II is the chosen stamping ground OF the
trimmer, the fxer, and the blathersklte'
Watching it, you are tempted to wonder
haw in the world the republic has ever
managed to carry this queer excrescence
along with it all these years.
But the cure for the cynicism lies rlgnt
there, too. For although great party con-
vention has an underside seamy enough to
dismay an archangel, we usually Judge hu-
man institutions by their fruits; and the
fruits of our party machinery have, on the
whole, been pretty good.
For if you look back at the long list OF
men who have occupied the White House
at Washington, you cannot help agreeing
that, taken as whole, it is remarkably
high-grade group.
If it contains several men who fell down
on the Job, it also contains its Lincolns and
Clevelands, it's Wilson's and Theodore
Roosevelts. All these men were chosen by
the same sort of conniving, trading, and
cracker-box spellbinding that you see on
display in the convention halls of 1886.
The devious back-scratching arrange.
ments that produce candidate today are
not in the least different from those which
produced candidates in 1860 and 1912.
Which is just another way of saying thai
a convention looks messier than it really is
You hear little sincere talk of high ideals
and lofty purposes, at convention. In
stead, you hear that So-and-So has beer
too outspoken, that Whoozis has alienateo
this bloc of voters, that What -His-Name
will play ball with the old-line bosses, anc
that Candidate x has made deal with
Candidate Y. -. E..
You learn that the famous "smoke-filleC
room" is reality, and that the average
man is not in politics for his health.
But all that, after all, adds up to yer!
little. What really counts is the fact tina
somehow, year after year, these conven
tons do manage to present us with candi
dates who express the varying hopes ant
longings of the people pretty faithfully
with candidates who enterinp the Whit
House, turn out to be the kind of men WIZ
canimeet the duties and responsibilities o
that difficult post without flinching.
Our nominating machinery, like all hu
man institutions, is sadly imperfect. But
serves US great deal better than stud,
of IT'S imperfections would lead US to ex
pect *.

CIVIL sERvIcE-A MAJOR ISSUE

A public question which Americas major par

to be one of the Crucial issues of the American
presidential campaign. Gov. Landon made civil
service primary plank in his spectacular telegram
to the Republican national convention.
The definite and truly progressive sweep of his
pledge to extend the merit system to every posi-
ton in the administrative service below the rank
of assistant secretaries of major departments and
agencies, and his plan to bring in 'the entire post
office department" captured the Imagination of
hosts of Americans who see improvement in gov
eminent services as the most practical improve
