IF WE DIVIDED OUR
GREAT FORTUNES

Ever so often we hear someone arguing that
the wealth of the country should be divided and
give the poor people chance. We have found
an article in a current exchange that leads us
to believe that we would not be much better off
if we had our share of some of the great fortunes
that are at present giving employment to thou
sands and making the wheels of industry turn.
We pass the article on:
eff Andrew Melons fortune, estimated at
$1OO,OOOOOO were divided equally among the
people of the United tSates, it would mean ex-
actly IS cents for each one of us in the country.
divide J. P. Morgans wealth, and it would
mean 40 cents for each person. Chop up Henry
Ford's factories and mines, and the result would
be 81 in each individual pocket. Take Publisher
Hearst's millions and split them, and it would
John D. Rockefeller might yield like amount
per person.
'The men mentioned are the five wealthiest
in this country 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 $685. each. We wouldn't be any
better off than we were in the beginning
Wealth isn't matter of dollars and cents.
This wise man knows this. Wealth is matter of
productive ability, and it remains wealth only
so long as it can produce. Raids on accumulated
they are not-would make none of us rich. In
fact it would make us poorer, for we would
have destroyed that wealth which must be used
if we are to produce more wealth and greater
prosperity"

Thinks Presidents
Speech Will Make
Lasting Impression
Representative Doughton to Be
Chief Speaker at Patriotic
Meeting in StateSville

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Repre-
sentative Doughton, after attending
the convention in Philadelphia, left
tonight for his home at Laurel
Springs. He has accepted an invita-
ton to deliver patriotic address at
Statesville July 8, and will also
speak in Salisbury on August 5, on
the occasion of the meeting of the
Grange.
Mr.. Dougton, a member of small
circle of congressional leaders relied
upon by the President in the enact
ment of legislation, said before leav-
ing he felt sure that the acceptance
address of the President, recalling,
at the nations birthplace, that the.
Minute Men and their compatriots
had fought successfully for freedom
from the domination of eighteenth
century royalists, and declaring that
the war would be continued against
the modern economic royalists, would
make good and lasting impression
on the country. Mr.. Doughton also
thinks comparisons are certain to be
made between what the President
called the brave and clear platform
adopted at Philadelphia, and the
platform achieved at Cleveland, a
document, said the North Carolina
member, full of antiquities and con-
tradictions.
Speaks Over Radio
+ Those listening in on the conven-
ton were able to hear Mr. Doughton
very plainly the two times he spoke
from the convention hall.

REAL PATRIOTISM ON
THIS FOURTH

Through necessity, North Carolina citizens
are being asked to vote on the Fourth of July
a day usually regarded as a holiday. And this
business of holding an election of any sort, es-
pecially sharply defined one like the Satur-
days primary is expected to be, is no way to
celebrate holiday.
To nominate Governor on the Democratic
ticket in this state has, for several years. meant
to elect him. The voting, then, on Saturday
would ordinarily make definite decision be-
tween Hoey and Mcdonald Surely no two can
didates could run on the same ticket and be as
far apart in their platforms and for this reason
the voting public will be able to celebrate the
Fourth by showing real patriotism in the way
they vote
Hoey, proud Of the record of the Democratic
party for the past thirty years, proposes to con-
tinue it's policies. Mcdonald, seeing little good
in the past work of the party, proposes to start
all over again from the ground up.
One vote will not settle an election, but it
behooves each voter to see to it that his vote is
cast before he turns to the business of making
this Fourth of July holiday. The result of the
primary Saturday has chance to throw us into
such a state that Democrats at least might not
feel like enjoying the next Fourth.

DIR. DOUGHERTY HONORED

DR.. B. B. Dougherty, president of Appalach-
ian College has received another expression OF
appreciation for his superb accomplishments
an honorary degree from Wake Forest College.
The Democrat desires to express the appreciation
of the people of this section for the notable
strides DR.. Dougherty has made in furthering
the general welfare of the people of his state We
believe the local friends of the esteemed edu-
Gator will duly appreciate this editorial COM
ment which is taken from the Winston-Salem
Journal:
AT it's commencement this week Wake For
est College conferred an honorary degree on DR..
B. B. Dougherty an alunnus of that college,
and president and founder Of Appalachian State
Teachers College at Boone.
'Wake Forest never has honored an alumnus
who more richly deserved recognition than DR..
Dougherty for distinguished service to humani-
ty. It is impossible to measure the value of his
work to his own generation and to generations
yet unborn.
"He not only built large college in the
mountains of Northwestern North Carolina,
which has been great blessing to the young of
the Commonwealth and will continue to serve
our people through all the years to come, but he
has also been forceful letder in the fight for
public education throughout the state.
CDR. Dougherty is the father of the state
equalization fund for support of public schools,
and has served on the State Board of Equaliza-
ton (now the States School Commission) ever
since it was established.
GAS originator and leader of the movement
which gave us the first equalization fund for
schools, DR.. Dougherty in reality became the
founder of the present State-supported public
school system and uniform eight-months school
term for all the children of the Commonwealth.
''The establishment of the state equalization
fund was the first step III the direction of
State-supported school sy$em which was de-
stined to result in equality Pf educational oppor-
tunity for all the children of North Carolina.
Prior to the establishment of the equalization
fund it was impossible for the poorer counties
to provide educational facilities equal to those
offered by the weather. dounties of the state.
"When the historian writes the history of
the long struggle for universal education in
North Carolina the name OF Dougherty will take
rank alongside the names f Wiley and Aycock,
because of his effective labor to complete the
structure on the foundation which they laid
Wake Forest College does well to honor
such loyal and powerful friend of public edu-
cation as DR.. B. B. Doughsrty has proven him
self to be-" -WATAUfA DEMOCRAT

The drowning of government clerk in the
Potomac near Washington was heralded by the
dismal cry: II can't swim" From the coming of
warm weather to the falling of the leaves, the
same story will be repeated from all parts of
the country. We are taught early to dodge auto
mobiles and shun the multitude of similar perils
that inhabit the dry land but there remains an
unframed throng which is helpless in the water.
The ancient Romans had a scornful maxim that
they applied to person ill-ftted to cope with
life: "He can neither read nor swim"

Boy May Have
Killed Mother

Little Jimmy Thompson, of Chi
cago, blase 7-year-old witness to his
mothers murder, will be given psy-
chiatric examination in an effort to
pierce the mystery of his bland reac-
ton to the crime.
1t was announced Monday by Po-
lice Captain William O'Brien, who
had earlier voiced shocking
thought that many had considered
silently but rejected as too weird. It
was that Jimmy himself may have
been his mothers slayer.
1t was Jimmy's story that his
mother, pretty Florence Thompson
Castle, at least twice-married caba-
ret>entertainer, was slain by a''black
man" VIII entered her hotel room
early Monday and broke a building
brick over her head as he talked
soothingly to her son, assuring him
that everything was call right"
Then the ''black man" departed,
after scrawling the cryptic words
'Black Legion game" and a skull
and crossbones on Mrs. Castles NOR
r6r, using her lipstick, and Jimmy
went back to sleep. He awoke hours
later, dressed fully and neatly and
went downstairs to tell night clerk
all about it.
Jimmy's calm acceptance of melov
drama was as much a mystery to in
vestipators as his mothers death. It
was said he attended movies four
times week and this may have led
him to regard murder as normal
experience.
Shows Unusual Intelligence
The boy will be taken to DR.. Har-
ry Hoffman, head of the Cook county
behavior clinic for examination,
O'Brien said.
It has been said that Jimmy has
the intelligence of a child four years
older. He is a self-assured young
ster, unawed by strangers and bored
by newspaper photographers.

A Michigan mother has exchanged her week
old child for some household furnishings and
now repents her bargain. Even dumb animals
will not part with their newlyborn offspring,
but the woman may have had some excuse if
she considered that the child was leaving life
of poverty for one of comfort. Whatever the
wisdom of the transaction, it is learned that the
state has no law to keep parents from selling,
swapping or otherwise trading their children.

seven-year-old child in Chicago is suspect
ed of Staying his mother. If he did not kill her,
he admits that he was present when she was
killed What the police cannot understand is that
he would be so calm about such gruesome
matter. He has never shown any excitement or
shed any tears over the affair." Police say he
has been in the habit Of going to picture shows
four times week. Certainly if children are to
be allowed to 60 to shows, their parents should
know what they are going to see. This mother
may have learned that too late, however.
