WHEN RIGHTS ARE SURRENDERED

Frank E. Gannett, of the country's leading
newspaper publishers, reminds that history has
shown again and again that when any rights OF
privileges of people are surrendered to govern
ment, it is difficult, often impossible to regain
them"
That is something we have been saying over
and over again, because it so much needs to De
said to people who have become negligent OF thelr
rights and privileges as Americans.
And probably it will need to be said much more
for this is one of the gravest dangers which IS
confronting us right now as a body polite.
The business of government just naturally builds
I'D ruling "class''-unless the people cling tena-
ciously to their rights and insist that they be re-
spected
And chief among these-in fact it includes all
riehts-is the right to determine what government
shall or shall not do. When these rights are sur
rendered they are often regained only by revolt
ton and the splitting of blood.
Mr.. Gannett has said nothing new but ne has
said something we need to be reminded of often.--

is THE STATE DIVINE?

The rational and healthy man can provide his
own old age insurance. Facilities for it are abund'
ant. Efficiently managed companies are hundreds
Even the poor negroes of the South have been
insuring themselves the last fifty years. Perhaps
the insurance has often cost them too much but
the negroes have not been without forethought.
Shall Americans be told that old age is period
for which they should not prepare while they are
young and strong?
Are they to be taught that it is right and wise
for a man of middle age and his family to spend
on comforts and luxuries every penny that they
can lay hold Of that it is the business of the state
which is to say the taxpayers still earning, to sup
port them when they are old?
The sick the lame, the halt, require help ana
they receive it, The question is whether or not
the able-bodied should shift, while they still
able bodied, the burdens of old age to other peo-
pies shoulders.
The second question is whether the state is bet
ter fitted to be the insuring company, agency,
than are the private agencies Should the churches,
for example, abandon the insuring machinery by
which they care for aged cergymen?
If the state or government, is to provide insuE-
ance for old age, why private insurance?
Or have the Americans arrived at the conclusion
that all private initiative and enterprise are fall
ures? Do they now, as last and forlorn hope,
attribute to the political state divine powers 70

going to make sure that the
League would go along with her.
SO, to force the hand of the
League, to put it on the spot, to
make it come out in the open and
declare itself, she put on the
startling stunt of suddenly ap-
pearing to surrender to Mussoh-
nj, and to offer him everything
he wanted in Ethiopia.
England got exactly the reac-
ton she desired and expected.
The League and most of the civ

Buddies," replied England, "come

But here is a pathetic thing.
When England decided to seem
to agree to the evil designs Of
Mussolini, she knew that whoever
proposed that plan would be dis
credited and disowned even by
his own countrymen. Who was
the man to be the goat? Who was
the patriot to be sacrificed? Who
would perform that service for

Mark Twain once noted the fact that the
weather is one of the most common sub
iects of conversation and that much objec-
ton is voiced from time to time to the va
rious brands of weather supplied by the
Weather Bureau, but that nothing is done
about it. The present spell of Winter
weather has been something to talk about
in this section and while objections to the
brand the Weather Bureau has been dish
ing out have been numerous and emphatic,
Mark Twain's observation appears to be as
true today as it was when he made it.
About all the inhabitants of this section
can do about it is to assert that it is Gun
usuaP'-which is fact-but that kind CT
talk may cause North Carolinian to be
mistaken for Floridian or Californian.

w lation is certain to bring on a
dog fight almost as soon as the
new Congress convenes.
The present neutrality law, ad-
mittedly a stop-gap, is going to
get a very thorough combing-
over at the hands of such men
as Senators Nye, Bone, Vanden-
berg, and Borah.
This debate will be complicat-
ed. The only way to keep it at
all straight is to remember two
principles:
l. The league principle is to
find the aggressor in any war,
and to punish that aggressor by
sanctions, that is, by refusing to
sell certain war materials to him.
2. The American principle, in
the present law, provides no at
tempt to determine which party
to a war is to blame. 1t simply
provides that the United States
will trade in certain articles with
neither. The aim here is not to
punish either side, but simply to
withdraw from dangerous waters.
THUS in the present American
l. plan, it is entirely a matter of
chance whether American action
supplements league action in pun
ishing an aggressor.
In the case of Italy, because
cutting off war materials from
Ethiopia m cans nothing, the
American course in cutting them
off from Italy did correspond
roughly with the league action.
But there is no reason to think it
might in another case.
"
THE thing that is worrying sem
L. ators is: what do we want to
accomplish? President Roosevelt,
when the present law was passed,
inclined toward letting the presi-
dent have some discretion. Rnt

for that self-destroying job.
Bravely he accepted the assign
ment. Unflinchingly he carried it
out.
At the time this article is being
written, it is not known whether
the League will put up or shut
up. But one thing is known: Eng
land is not going to take the rap
for the League. England is will
ing to do her full part; but If the
League wants Mussolini stopped
in his ungodly war on Ethiopia,
its members must stand shoulder
to shoulder with England.

Why did she let him go so far be-
fore taking a stand against him
that he could not back off without
running his prestige?"
The reason was that England
wanted Mussolini to ruin his pres
tige. She was afraid of him and
of the Fascist forces he was build
ing up behind him. She wanted to
let him get himself into a hole so
deep that he could not get out.
That was why England kept still
when Mussolini said he was going
to grab himself a big hunk Of Eth
opia. And that is why England
moved so vigorously and relent-
lesslv against Mussolini after he
had got going in his invasion Of
Ethiopia. She wanted to get the
League and the civilized world
walked up.
"But," you. ask, eff that were
the case, why did England sudden
