that system has worked pretty we'll for Don's poe

out being an observer of the curious things human
beings do. In recent numebr of his own pet house

about newspapers and magazines and such:

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
AT The SAME TIME

The Daily News finds itself in hearty accord with
Governor Ehringhaus' approval of an appropria-

surplus fund for a road and prison betterments
program in the state. The funds were paid into
the departments till for precisely that purpose by
Tar Heel citizens who the roads and to refrain
from such usage or to allocate these funds to other
purpose would be distinct breach OF moral &C
countabity. .
In connection with the ALLEGATION, even though II
has been made, several matters press for serious
consideration. Governor Ehringhaus did not act
until he had studied both the highway depart
ment's and the states general financial situation
It first had to be determined to what extent the
general fund needed replenishing, whether to the
maximum of 100000 or the minimum OF SI'-
600, 900 set by a diverting general assembly,

A REGION OF GREEN PASTURES"

President Roosevelt came into Western
North Carolina yesterday evening, paused
overnight in Asheville, spoke briefly to a
throng there this morning and then went
on to Charlotte for Green Pastures" raj
". Efforts made to have HendersOnvllle
included in the chief executives itinerary
were unavaihng, but hundreds of Hender-
son county people went to the larger CEN
tiers to see and hear him. An organized
motorcadet to Charlotte constituted the
chief effort of local Democrats and others
to help swell the crowd.
That Western North Carolina would
give President Roosevelt hearty recep-
ton was certain from the beginning, and
there can be no doubt that his interest in
the welfare of this region, particularly
with reference to the tourist business in
general and to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park in particular, will be height
ened by his visit. Made at time when the
mountains are still in full foliage and when
fertile valleys are lush with farm prod
ucts, all in sharp contrast with territory
which he recently viewed in the drought
areas of the west, this visit should stand
out in relief in the presidents mind and
convince him that, all political considera-
tions aside for the moment, this is indeed
a region of green pastures" for all who
will come and enjoy its manifold advan-
tages.

THE PEOPLE TO BLAME
"The raw fact is" went on the
chief. "the people themselves are
to blame for the existence of
these lotteries - and boOtleggers
too-for the people support them.
If the public would cooperate
with us and refuse to patronize
these criminal enterprises they
would soon disappear. And you
would be surprised" he added sig
nificantly, chow many Of our So
called best people contribute reg
ularly to these unlawful outfits.
NATURAL BORN SUCKERS
"The average human being is a
natural born sucker" went on the
chief. "The purchasers Of these
lottery tickets haven't one chance
in thousand to win. 1t is all a
great big graft that goes into the
pockets of the big grafters be-
cause the citizens themselves
would like to be little grafters."
DEMORALIZES THE POLICE
No. matter how conscientious
a police force may be, the edge
is, certain to be taken off their
zest when they see their efforts
to clean up vice constantly frus-
trated by the courts and the citi-
zenry. After the police have pick
ed up again and again members
of vice rings and have seen them
turned loose again and again with
a slap on the wrist, they are apt
to become discouraged and dis
gusted, and to be receptive to a
protection proposition from the
vice ring.
THE PEOPLE MUST HELP
As John Edgar Hoover, direc-
tor of the Omen truthfully reit-
crates, organized vice in the va
rious municipalities will flourish
only so long as the citizens en-
courage or tolerate it.
Today in the average American
municipality the police officer
sincerely DESTROYS of putting an
end to organized vice has no more
