DOES NOT ENCOURAGE CRIME

The president of the Advertising Club of New
York finds "nothing in the press TO encourage crime
but plenty to warn you and me that the savage
elements of American society must be destroyed
Mr.. II. B. LeQuatte has the right of it, '
The news of crime which is spread before us
from day TO day, If we read the newspapers, makes
crime appear to be the sheerest of folly and the
criminal the n,eanest of rats in society which is
generally decent, in spite of what lot Of the pess
mists and prophets of doom are continually tell
ing us. $50 '." .'
There is nothing in the crime We read about to
convince boy or youth that a life of crime is
something he is likely to find satisfactory and
worth while
Most of the news of this sort is calculated to i'm
press upon any one who reads it the indsputabe
fact that "the wages of sin are death"
And it should impress upon the rest of us, as Nh
LeQuatte says, "that the savage elements of Ameri-
can society must be destroyed" ''.' .'..-
What is most needed right now is that the aver
age, ordinary citizen and not merely the police of
our cities and the G-Men who take their orders
from Washington shall insist that this must be
done and that get at the business of destroying
without delay.-Roek Hill $50 Herald

STATES LIMIT INDUSTRY BY ExCLUD
INC jOBLESS
by BRUCE CAFf0N)

The state of Colorado has taken a leaf
from CALIFORNIA; book, and is throwing
troops along its borders to keep out un--
wanted visitors.
Like California, Colorado is fond OF
tourists. But it is interested only in tourists
who bring plenty of money with them. The
rowing job-hunter who hopes to find a pay
check fluttering loose is most decidedly not
wanted. ..- Q. .-- 90 f'''
So the Colorado authorities, like those in
California, have taken to posting soldiers
along the borders to search autos, buses
and trains, and to turn back people who
do not come well-heeled.
Jobs in this state are for our citizens, I"
says Gov. Edwin C. Johnson of Colorado.
81 propose to see that they are not filled by
outsiders, if I have to invoke the full mill
tary strength of the state to do SO"
Nothing could be more natural than for
governor to take this attitude. After all,
a governors first responsibility is to the
people of his own state. And yet one won
ders if people who adopt this stand have
ever heard of the services rendered to
Americas productive system by the migra'
tory worker. &.,.. - . .,'.-
This country is dotted with industries
which, of necessity, operate spasmodicaily
For 9 few weeks or months such industries
need large number of workers; there
after-for the rest of the year, in many

They have been able to operate only be
cause of the existence, of aa great mani
workers who roam halfway across the con

one brief job to another, collecting pa.
checks in half dozen states in the cours
of six months. |,.

WILL NORTH CAROLINA CONTINUE
TO CONTROL IT'S SCHOOLS?

The North Carolina Congress of Parent:
and Teachers, meeting in Charlotte las'
week. went on record as being willing and
anxious to exchange its birthrght for
mess of pottage. The organization adopted
resolutions imploring the Congress to make
an appropriation of three hundred million
dollars to be used in supporting the schools
throughout the United States. How much
Of it would come to North Carolina would
be decided in the future, but granting that
this State would receive it's full share OF
the money, the question arises, Does North
Carolina want to place the chains of fed
eral support on its school system?
There is one thing as certain as death
and taxes, and that is that when the fed
eral government appropriates money for
any purpose it is going to step in and very
nearly take charge of the operations Of
everything connected with the expanding
Of the money. If the federal government
goes into the Socialist scheme of giving fl
nancial aid to the schools of the country, it
is going to have much to say about the
management and operation of the schools
in the future, regardless Of the views OF
State and local authorities or the wishes OF
the patrons of the schools.
- Does North Carolina wish to exchange
such freedom as it enjoys in managing and
shaping the States school system, for few
million dollars of federal money and the
iron-clad supervision of radical doodles
and educational bureaucrats in Washing
ton?
