NEWSPAPERS OPINION
UNSAFE LEADERSHIP

Nevertheless, it does seem that, as he views the
wreckage, one thought would permeate the mind
of the average American who, charmed by the gay
confidence of the president and pleased with the
dramatic show he gave, has retained, despite ar
prehensons as to the cost, belief that Mr.. Roose-
vet's judgment was sound. That thought is the
simple one that, pleasing is his personality. he
is an incompetent and unsafe leader, Who plung-
ing ahead regardless of warnings and experience,
has made a horrible mess of national affairs after
three wears of completely futile and terrible costly
effort.
From certain cheap statesmen in Congress, from
some shocked members of the Roosevelt circle,
Journalistic and political, and from some of the
benefciaries of the federal funds he has poured
out with so lavish hand there emanates criticism
of the court However, to now anyhow, this has
been more or less furtive and restrained lacking
wholly that hostile and defiant note that followed
the NRA decision last year. One reason, OF course
is that the public reaction then was such as to dis
courage similar strategy. 1t was clearly Demon
strated then that in any issue drawn with the count
and the Constitution one side ana the ADMINS
tration on the other, the people oVerWhemingly
would be with the former.
The Supreme Court needs no defense. 1t is above
and beyond politics. Its members are not cana-
dates for any office, have no part and no interest
in campaigns or candidates.. The great bulk OF the
people know and unshakaby beleve THIS Inc great
bulk Of them revere the Supreme Court as the most
stable and detached the least political and most
disinterested of our institutions The great bulk or
then, are resentful of the blatherskltes who blame
the Supreme Court for judgments which were m
evitable If blame is to be placed, the logical place
for it is squarely upon Mr. Roosevelt, whose lead
ership has wasted so much time, labor and money
and who, under advice from unsound men, adopted
schemes of government clearly outside our ConStl-
tuition and inimical to system. When to this
is added that t,ase decisions could have been had
months ago but for the deliberate stalhng OF the
Government officials it does seem that the respoh-
sibility is clear.-Frank Kent in Charlotte OBJ

Very interesting indeed was that list of n. G.

as much as $4,000 EACH The information was
made available to the press by Congress, which
passed law at its last session requiring the Sec

WASHINGTON. - There are sew

the especially tense European crisis
and don't let anyone tell you your
guess isn't practically as good as
the next fellows.
One outstanding possibility which
has become much likelier in the
last month, however. is collapse of
the League of Nations.
Although it did appear for a
while that the league had been
greatly strengthened by its unex-
pec!edly firm attitude toward the
aggressor Italy-an appearance to
which Britain contributed much
substance-there is now distinct
chance that the western European
powers may agree to ditch the
league and form an old-fashioned
imperialistic. alliance.
The object, sought earnestly in
certain European capitals, would
be a four-power pact entered into
by England, France, Germany,
and Italy.
Objective of this pact would be
reservation Of the status quo-and
OF peace--for England and France
and simultaneous realization of the
grim German and Italian ambitions
for expansion.
Soviet Russia and Ethiopia would
be the goats.

posed and is being sponsored by

The department has worked I'M
ceasingly toward the relief of the

most important developments IN
this field has been organization
of a cooperative and erection OF
series of plants to assist in the
marketing problem. These plants
are operated by an organization,
the n. C. Fisheries, Inc, under
the supervision of the ERA.

ments, in my mind, of the yeal
was the definite establishment or

STATE MAKES
PROGRESS IN
PAST z YEARS
Etheridge Says Conserva-
ton and Development
Advance Is Marked
By R. BRUCE ETHERIDGE
Dire ctor Department OF ConsefVa-
ton and Development

RALEIGH, Jan. 10. (UP).-
Specific measurement of the ac--
accomplishments of the department.
of conservation and development
during the year 1885 is a difficult
matter, especially since many OF
the results are not Immediately
discernible. 49,
We do, however, believe that
more substantial progress mas
been made in the conservation
and development program in the
state during the last year or so s.:
than during any similar PERIOD IN
history. The public attitude IN
our Judgment is turning from
thouphtless exploitation of ma
tre's products to one Of consld-
cred use with thought of maxi
mum service and replacement IN
the future. So. .Lou
The people realize more than
ever that there are certain reason
able limits 20 which they can go
in utilizing the replaceable prod
nets of nature before diminishing
returns set in, with possible tu-
ture deletion resulting.
The department OF conserVa-
ton and DEVELOPMENT does not
claim ali credit for accomplish
ment by any means. 1t has mere
" sought to utilize all available
facilities by accomplishing results
in its field. The general assem-
Div of 1885 set up the broadcast
program ever provided for con,
seryation in North Carolina, and
these measures had the support Oh
Gov. j. C. b. Ehringhaus as chief
executive of the state. Members
OF the board Of conservation ana
development have been active IN
promoting various constructive
activities.
Another of our strongest sup
porting factors has been the led
eral government which has au-
thorized and is carrying out many
conservation projects in it's relief
program. Emergency agencies
devoted largely to these features
include the civilian conservation
corps, the resettlement admins
tration, the soil conservation serV-
ice, and others. The CWA, too,
undertook many helpful conser-
walton projects and the WPA IS
now engaged in others of a SIM,
lar nature. Permanent federal
agencies. such as the U. 8. forest
service. the bureau of fisheries,
the biological survey, the geo.
logical survey. the bureau OF
mines. and many others have been
able to extend their operations IN
cooperation with the various re-
lief agencies.
North Cardinals game program;
we believe, is better equipped and
is accomplishing outstanding re-
suits. The state game law has
been thoroughly revised and is
now accepted as a model for the
entire country. Our game sup
ply seems to be on a definite in
crease and we hope it will be
maintained.
Forest fire control activities are
functioning on the broadest scale
on which they ever have been car
ried on. Fifty-five counties, a
record number, are cooperating
with the state in this work and
the largest area ever to receive
protection is under organized
control.

SOAK THE RICH"

One of the greatest fakes ever put over by the
political demagogues on the common people-the
small wage and salary Garner, is the idea that the
enormous expenditures of the government-state
and national---can be financed by soaking the
rich" The statement often made by radicals that
the major percentage of our wealth is held by a
small percentage of our people is falsehood prov
en- to have no basis of truth. The bill passed by
the last congress for the express purpose of soak
ing the rich will raise annually, according to its
sponsors, approximately $3.50, 900. The amount
is only one-fourteenth of the deficit for the cur

such a way as to make them dam
gerous, when a little care, a lit
tie precaution, would make them
perfectly safe.
A person will look at a fur
mace or a stove, or a smoke pipe
and say, "Well, it does seem a
little close to the woodwork, but
it has been that way for years
and there has been no fire; so
that proves it is all right"
The longer wood is exposed to
heat, the more liable it is to ig-
mite. Year after year of exposure
to heat causes wood TO become
more inflammable. The same de-
gree of heat that the wood will
withstand for a year or two or
three, or more, will cause it to
burst into flames at a later pc
liod. A change takes place in the
fiber of the wood which makes
it less and less resistant to heat.
Even a steam pipe may in course
of time set wood on fire.
And one must always remem-
Der that at any time the drafts
may be left open and forgotten,
and the furnace or the stove OF
the smoke pipe become white hot;
so every heating apparatus of
that character should be so pro-
tected that no matter who for
gets, the adjacent woodwork can
not be set on fire.
1t does not pay to take chances
on having a building burn down to
save the few dollars it would cost
to protect it. Tin tackled - the
woodwork may not be sufficient
protection. If the wood is so close
to the furnace or the stove that
the tin becomes uncOmfortably
hot to the hand, the wood under
meath it may ignite unless the
tin is so placed that there is an
air space between it and the wood.
If the furnace or the smoke pipe
is within eighteen inches of the
floor joists, then the entire area
over the furnace and the smoke
pipe should be covered with tin,
which, in turn, should be covered
with quarter inch asbestos board.
If within less than eighteen inches
the asbestos board should be- rlV-
eted to the tine and suspended
from the joists by wire, to allow
air circulation between the Jolsts
and the tin.
The flue, of course, should have
a large margin of safety. CHM
news should be constructed OF
brick four inches wide, laid on
their sides, not on edge, and set
in first class mortar. The CHM
ney should be lined either with
bricks two inches thick, set on
edge, or with regular terra Gotta
flue-lining; the latter is prefer
able, as brick lining is apt to be-

DRAKE FRAUD STAMPS THIS A
SUCKER. ERA
by BRUCE CATION

When the history of these troubled times
comes to be written-if historian can be
found who has the strength for the job
one of its verdicts probably will be that
this was the poisoning time and the mid
summer heyday of the great American
sucker.
Evidence to support that verdict IS
smashing about all over the landscape. 1t
makes the newspapers bulky and crowds
the ads out of the magazines. But the key
stone of the arcn and the cap on the monu-
ment of it all is undoubtedly the Drake
case.
This famous swindle has been aired in
the courts and the newspapers over and
over again. A city slicker ventured into
the midwest some years ago announcing
that the estate of Sir Francis Drake, Queen
Elizabeth's famous old freebooter, had
passed down through his male descendants
and had grown prodigiously with the
years.
Today, he said, it comprised practically
all London and was worth untold billions;
and he, the slicker, had the heirs under his
thumb and was about to arrange a settle
ment of the estate; and all who contribut-
ed a dollar or so to defray the expenses
would get their money back a thousand
fold.
That anyone outside of an asylum would
even listen to such yarn is hardly credi-
BILE. But the suckers came forward in
droves and platoons to hand over their
money to the slicker. No one knows how
much he collected, but it kept him in lux
ury for years.
Uncle Sans men finally caught up with
the Slicker and sent him to prison for 10
years. But'did that stop the racket? Yer
ily, it went on in bigger way than ever.
People in poorhouses kicked in with
their dimes and quarters; public meetings
-Ewere held in small towns all up and down
the Mississippi valley; the tale grew, until
the suckers were told that not only was
London included in the Drake estate, but
all of America as well. ..
at was the pending settlement of the es-
tate, it was said, that forced England and
America off the gold standard.
sit would be hard to think of a dizzier
swindle than this. If ever yarn had pipe
dream" written on its face, this is it.
, eYet with the promoter of the affair &C
tually doing time in a federal prison, and
with every statement of fact blown sky
high, the thing is still alive more the suck
ers are still kicking in, and dreaming OF
cruel international plots whenever they
are reminded that the law is trying to step
ON the scheme.
If hundreds of thousands of people can
be found to believe such yarn as this, and
to sink good money in it, need we wonder
that some odd political panaceas OCCASION
ally get sold to the electorate?
Compared with this Drake business, a
plan to make every man king by dividing
the wealth, or to pay 5000 month to
everyone more than so years of age, is the
soundest of good common sense.
