NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
COMMON COURTESY is LACKING

The Kinston Free Press expresses the bellef tha'
the lack of common courtesy on the part OF motoS'
lists is responsible for many accidents on the roads
and streets of the country.
SIN the horse and buggy days." says the Ain
sion PAPER courtesy was outstanding charac-
teristic of the road. No lady or gentleman driver
ever thought of passing another vehicle gong IN
the same direction without pausing to apologize
and make explanation why the hurry. The rule has
changed and most drivers seem to go on the theory
that it is root hog or die nowadays"
Continuing: Courtesy is lacking in the matter
of passing, in extension of right of way at inter-
sections and in giving warning signals of intention
to change ones direction.
1.-The laws cover all these points But even more
is the obligation to be courteous.
'''Sheer ignorance is responsible for most of the
road discourtesy, no doubt. At least we would
rather think that such was the case than to attr-
butte it to a premeditated desire to be disagree
able and selfish. Unquestionably some of it is due
to the latter causes There is at least small num-
Der of motorists who don't care a rap for the well
fare or comfort of others and who look out solely
for their own interests.
1T is not practical to stop on the highway and
exchange greetings and ask to be excused for pass
ing That was the custom of slower age. 1t is
possible to be courteous, however, and show con-
sideration for ones fellow being. The horse and
buggy age did not appropriate all the politeness
and courtesy accessible to mankind, by any means"

WHAT'S COMING OFF?

What is the present presidential campaign turn
ing into-a hippodrome?
One caught an idea that it might fall into such
temptation when the president delivered his
speech of acceptance of the nomination at Franklin
Field in Philadelphia under auspices and circum-
stances that inclined the public to interpret the
event as monster bit of balyhoo.
1t begins to look as if such is to be, indeed,
one of the major phases of the campaign as Mr.
Farley proposes to see it along.
He has engaged Jack Dempsey and troupe OF
famous wrestlers to go over the country and ad-
vertise the president, appealing to such audiences
as such an aggregation of star performers might
be expected to draw, and thus mix popular enter
tainmen of this rather bizarre sort with the seri-
Gus business of picking up some votes for the cause
Political campaigns may have drifted into this
sort of showmanship in this age of jazz and Jambo-
rees but for our part, it speaks none too well Tor
the level on which serious, dgnifed and vital cam
paigns should be pitched
Jack Dempsey may be an ardent supporter OF
Mr. Roosevelt and for that he is not to be CEN
sured
But the notion persists that when 1t comes to the
issues that are deeply ngrained in this campaign,
Jack wouldn't know them from doodiebug.-Ihe

MOL PRESSED

This takes the cake.
The Raleigh judge of the municipal court has mol
pressed case against drunken driver, because,
he said. he could not get the defendant and the
prosecuting witness together in court; that IS the
man accused of driving while drunk and the officer
making the arrest. 1t is a strange and humorous
excuse for failing to try case, which had been
continued for nearly two months.
AS laughable and ridiculous as that is, 1t is not
much worse than some of the reasons and excuses
given in some of our superior courts for failure to
try these cases. or as an excuse for some of the
patry penalties handed out.
Here is the local story in the News and Observer
after being postponed from time to time over
period of nearly two months, drunken driving
charge against A. NJ monaghan, 46, of 9OS f.
Edenton street, was mol pressed with leave by
Prosecutor Harvey Jones in city court yesterday,
"Nooneyham arrested on July % by State
Highway Patrolman w. C. Carter. He was released
the following day under 500 bond. Continuance
after continuance was granted in the case. Asked
why the action was mol pressed, Prosecutor Jones
said:
"'Well, it seemed l couldn't get Patrolman Car
ter and Monaghan up in court on the same day.
At first Carter came regularly every time the case
was set, but Monaghan wasn't there. Then when
monaghan finally came, Carter failed to show up y

SOUTH AMERICA was rising IN
= revolt against Spain early in the
10th century, and Simon Bolivar
was its guiding genius. Among
his subordinates was Antonio Jose
dc Sucre, courageous Venezue-
Ian who had enlisted under Boil
var at the age of Is. Eleven years
later he gained his first great vic
tory at Pichincha.
The victory placed him in COM
mand of Bolivia's army in Peru,
and soon his energy and genius
helped bring defeat to Spain. AS
a result, that part of Peru that be-
came Bolivia elected him its first
president.
But the constitution which Boil
var forced upon the new country
was too much for Sucre, and he
resigned and left the country.
Sucre was on his way back to

its administration, when a band OF

A DISEASE MENACES AMERICAS
RECOVERY
CBy BRUCE CATION

(By bhUCE CA11
A few more weeks and the agony will
be over. We shall have elected our presl-
dent and our congress, the wild yells and
the frenzied appeals of the campaign Will
have died down, and we shall forget about
most of them while we look forward in the
pious hope that the next four years will be
kinder to us than the last four.
But there is one thing we should not for
get. though we shall find forgetting it very
easy: the fact that this country still con-
tains a good many millions of men who
need to work and want to work, but who
cannot find jobs.
Just how many millions of them there
are seems to be an open question. The cam
paign has brought forth ridiculously vary
ing estimates.
But one thing is certain: there are alto
gether too many of them, and we shant be
able to pat yourselves on the back over our
recovery" until we have got their number
whitfield down very materially.
Poverty, we need to remember-the kind
of poverty which means absolute depend
ence on outside help, with the last re-
sources gone and no job in sight-poverty
is a disease in the body politics, and it is
just as dangerous to those of us who hap
pen.to have jobs, bank accounts, and COM
fortably lined stomachs as an outbreak of
Asiatic cholera would be.
1t may smolder along for quite time,
attacking only those whom we complacent-
lySlook on as its natural victims; but it can
spread with dire rapidity and strike into
places where it never was known before
The depression must have taught us how
fatally easy it is for the jobless unfortun-
ateto infect the white collar man, the mer-
chant, the manufacturer, even the banker.
This disease can go like wildfre.
And we shan't be able to say that we
have recovered until we have at least got
this infection under control. For we want
Ourzrecovery to be lasting affair, not just
acknowledgements taste of prosperity.
We can't afford to take chance on be-
ingsreinfected just as the epidemic is sub
siding.
The task that confronts US, then, is that
ofsfnding jobs for men who need them
real, honest-to-goodness jobs; and not care
fully invented bits of leaf-raking.
To say that is great deal easier than to
do.it; yet it must be obvious that the job
ought not to be as hard as, in our moments
ofpessinism, it seems to be.
We have marvellous productive plant
able to turn out everything from loaves OF
bread to steam shovels at rate never
dreamed of before in all history; we have
a land trimming over with people who
need things the plant can produce; we
have, in short, the needs, the workers, anc
the capacity to make the one supply the
other
Surely.a country as energetic and intel
ligent as ours can't remain baffled by thi
problem forever. The only danger is tina
